A/N So here's Father's day. Some scenes are skipped and some are added. Caleb is 10 and Sophia is 8. Hope you enjoy! :)
"That's what Mum always says. So I was thinking, could we, could we go and see my dad when he was still alive?" Rose asked the Doctor.
"Where's this come from, all of a sudden?" The Doctor asked his wife. Rose talked about her dad occasionally but had never asked to go and see him.
"All right then, if we can't, if it goes against the laws of times or something, then never mind, just leave it" Rose replied.
"No, I can do anything. I'm just more worried about you" The Doctor said as he was worried about his wife. He didn't want to make her more upset about her father but knew this is what she had wanted.
"I want to see him and the kids have never met him." Rose said wanting her children to see their granddad and her to see her dad. The kids knew about their granddad but had only seen pictures like Rose had.
"Your wish is my command. But be careful what you wish for." The Doctor replied to his wife.
The Doctor, Rose, Caleb and Sophia attend her parent's wedding.
"Mom always said know one was with him when he died, he died alone. I want to be that someone, so he doesn't die alone" Rose not wanting her father to die alone.
"November the 7th?" The Doctor asked his wife.
"1987" Rose replied.
The time rotor starts up.
"Where are we going now?" Caleb asked as his ran into the console room wearing his high tops and jacket. With Sophia running closely behind him wearing converse and plain t shirt.
"You din't win, you had a head start" Sophia said. She couldn't bear the thought of losing.
"I did"
"Didn't"
"Did!"
"Didn't!"
"Okay, that's enough" Rose said as she knelt down to her kids height. "We're going to see your granddad"
"Granddad Pete?" Sophia asked as Rose nodded.
"But I thought he died?" Caleb asked confused.
"We're going back in time, but you can't tell him who you are just in case something happens" Rose said to her kids as they nodded.
- Waterley street
"It's so weird. The day my father died. I thought it'd be all sort of grim and stormy. It's just an ordinary day" Rose said as she looked around.
"The past is another country. 1987's just the Isle of Wight. Are you sure about this?" The Doctor asked his wife.
"Yeah" Rose replied taking her daughter's hand as the Doctor took their son's hand.
- Jordan road
"I don't like this" Sophia said turning around not wanting to see someone die, especially not her own granddad.
"You're granddads going to be here soon" Rose informed her daughter. "This is it. Jordan Road. He was late. He'd been to get a wedding present, a vase. Mum always said, that stupid vase" "He got out of his car"
They all watched as Pete pulled onto the kerb.
"And crossed the road. Oh, God. This is it" Rose said as Sophia turned around but Caleb just stared.
As Pete gets out of the van, the Doctor takes Rose's hand. A beige car comes round the corner and straight into Pete. The driver shields his face with his arm and keeps going, leaving Pete and the broken vase in the middle of the road. Pete tries to move. Sophia and Caleb shut their eyes tight. This was painful to watch for them.
"Go to him, quick" The Doctor said to Rose. But she can't. Later, round the corner, as sirens approach.
"It's too late now. By the time the ambulance got there, he was dead. He can't die on his own. Can I try again?" Rose said as Sophia and Caleb wiped their tears away.
The Doctor, Rose, Caleb and Sophia look round the corner to see themselves by the kerbside.
"Right, that's the first you, me and the kids. It's a very bad idea, two sets of us being here at the same time. Just be careful they don't see us. Wait till she runs off and he follows, then go to your dad" The Doctor informed.
Other Phoebe: I don't like this.
Pete parks at the kerb.
Other Rose: Oh, God. This is it.
"I can't do this" Rose said as she watched her father.
"You don't have to do anything you don't want to, but this is the last time we can be here" The Doctor said to Rose.
Rose runs forward as Pete is getting out of the van.
"Rose! No!" The Doctor shouts as Sophia and Caleb stared in shock.
Rose dashes past her earlier self and pushes her father out of the path of the beige car. The vase rolls away, unbroken. The earlier Doctor and Rose vanish.
"I did it. I saved your life" Rose said as she helped her dad up.
"Blimey, did you see the speed of it? Did you get his number?" Pete asked Rose.
"I really did it. Oh, my God, look at you. You're alive! That car was going to kill ya" Rose said as she pointed down the road to where the car had driven away.
"Give me some credit, I did see it coming. I wasn't going to walk under it, was I" Pete said back to Rose.
"I'm Rose" Rose said to her dad.
"That's a coincidence. That's my daughter's name" Pete informed Rose not knowing that was his daughter from the future.
"That's a great name. Good choice. Well done" Rose said congratulating him.
"Right, I'd better shift. I've got a wedding to go to" Pete informed.
"Is that Sarah Clarke's wedding?" Rose asked.
"Yeah, are you going?" Pete asked.
"Yeah" Rose replied.
"You and your family need a lift?" Pete asked as the Doctor, Caleb and Sophia looked from where they stood before. The kids faces full of shock and the Doctor's full of shook and anger, that his wife could be so stupid.
Something with blood red eyesight flies over South London.
- Tyler's flat
"He's just a normal person. It's not like his famous or anything" Rose replied.
"The whole is different because he's alive. I'm going to go back to the Tardis for a bit, give you and the kids time with him" The Doctor said as he said to the kids.
"Ok but be back soon yeah" Rose said as the Doctor nodded.
"I'm still angry at you. That was the most stupid thing you have ever done" The Doctor said to Rose. "Bye Caleb, Sophia"
"Bye, dad"They both replied in unison.
"He's one of the most important in my life" Rose said as the Doctor walked out.
Rose is putting peanuts back into their bowl as the kids are playing eye spy. Pete has changed into his wedding suit.
"Excuse me, do you mind? What're you tidying up for?" Pete asked getting the wrong idea.
Sorry. Force of habit" Rose replied as she sat next to her children
"So I guess that the man is your husband and these are your kids" Pete said as Rose nodded.
"This is Caleb and this is Sophia. say hello" Rose said as she tapped the kids heads as they smiled shyly.
"Hello" They both said together shyly.
"Sorry, there shy" Rose said as Pete shook his head.
"It's fine. I think all kids are shy, when it comes down to going into a man's flat, after there mom just saved his life" Pete replied.
"Probably right there. So are we off?" Rose asked as she got the children's jackets off as they had took them off.
"Mom, where are we going?" Caleb asked as his mom took his and his sister's hand.
"We are going to a wedding, so you need to be good. Sophia no being rude or running around and Caleb no chasing after Sophia and try not to give it away, who you really are" Rose said to the kids.
"I'm not rude!" Sophia said crossing her arms with a frown on her face.
"Back chatting and attitude is rude" Rose said to her daughter. "And you don't think about answering either young man, your so muck like your father that you can't help but give it away"
- Meanwhile
The Doctor outside the Tardis when he looks up for a moment. He unlocks the doors and opens them to reveal an empty police telephone box. The Tardis interior is missing.
"Rose! Sophia! Caleb!" The Doctor shouted as he ran towards the church, where the most important people in his life were.
- Pete's car
"Right. So I mustn't heard wrong. So, really you're a bit of a Del Boy?" Rose said to Pete.
"Oh, shoot me down in flames. You're not related to my wife by any chance, are you?" Pete asked.
"Oh, my God. She's going to be at the wedding" Rose said remembering that her mother was going to be at the wedding.
"What, Jackie? Do you know her?" Pete asked.
"Sort of" Rose replied.
"What's she told you about me, then?" Pete asked.
"She said she'd picked the most fantastic man in the world" Rose informed him.
"Must be a different Jackie, then. She'd never say that" Pete said back to Rose.
The radio changes to 105.4FM, and rap music comes out.
"This stuff goes right over my head" Pete said as he listened to the song.
"That's not out yet" Rose said as the song wasn't supposed to be out yet.
"It's a good job and all" Pete said.
"I'm just going to check my messages" Rose said as she got out her phone.
"How do you mean, messages? Is that a phone?" Pete asked.
"Yeah" Rose replied.
"I have one too" Caleb said with pride.
"It's not fair! I don't have one!" Sophia huffed as Rose shook her head. How many times did she have to tell her that 8 years old was too young in Rose's opinion to have a phone.
The car that should have killed Pete is behind them. Pete turns a corner, it drives straight on then vanishes.
The beige car suddenly appears and drives towards them.
"Dad!" Rose shouted as Pete swerves into the kerb, missing a tree.
"It's that car. Same one as before" Rose informed.
- Outside church
Young Mickey runs straight into the church. The Doctor runs up behind Rose.
"Rose! Caleb! Sophia! Get in the church!" The Doctor shouted as he ran towards them.
A large thing with bat-like wings appears in the sky. Very devilish. It hisses and starts to swoop. Rose screams. The Doctor pushes her to the pavement just in time to avoid its talons.
"Get in the church!" The Doctor shouted again as two more appear.
"Oh, my God. What are they? What are they?" Suzie asked.
"Inside!" The Doctor shouted.
"Stay in there!" Stuart shouted.
Stuart's dad tries to run away, but he gets pounced on. Another blocks Sarah's path to the church, but when she screams it flies off and pounces on the vicar instead.
"In!" The Doctor shouted but Sophia was to busy looking at a butterfly.
"Sophia!" Rose shouted as a Reaper came to get Sophia but she was fast and got there just in time.
- Inside the church
"What have I told you about that!" Rose shouted still in shock, that her daughter nearly got killed.
"Sorry, mummy" Sophia replied as she hugged her mother as did Rose sighing with relief.
They can be seen flying around outside.
"They can't get in. Old windows and doors. Okay. The older something is, the stronger it is. What else? Go and check the other doors! Move!" The Doctor shouted.
"What's happening? What are they?" Jackie asked.
"There's been an accident in time. A wound in time. They're like bacteria, taking advantage" The Doctor informed.
"What do you mean, time? What're you jabbering on about, time?" Jackie asked.
"Oh, I might've known you'd argue. Jackie, I'm sick of you complaining" The Doctor said sick of her complaining.
"I've never met you in my life!" Jackie shouted.
"No, and you never will unless I sort this out. Now, if you don't mind, I've waited a long time to say this. Jackie Tyler, do as I say. Go and check the doors" The Doctor said to his future mother in law.
"Yes, sir" Jackie said as she walked away.
"I should have done that ages ago" The Doctor said enjoying that.
"My dad was out there" Stuart said.
"You can mourn him later. Right now we've got to concentrate on keeping ourselves alive" The Doctor said to him.
"No, but he had this phone thing. I can't get it to work. I keep getting this voice" Stuart informed.
"That's the very first phone call. Alexander Graham Bell. I don't think the telephone's going to be much use" The Doctor informed him.
"Is this because? Is this my fault?" Rose asked the Doctor, who didn't reply.
Rose is standing by the altar when Pete comes out of the vestry.
"This husband of yours. What did he mean, this is your fault?" Pete asked.
"Don't know. Just everything" Rose replied.
"I gave you my car keys. You don't give your keys to a complete stranger. It's, it's like I trusted you. Moment I met you, I just did. wound in time. You called me Dad. I can see it. My eyes, Jackie's attitude. You sound like her when you shout. You are. You are. You're my Rose. You're my Rose grown up" Pete said as they hug in tears.
"Dad. My Dad. My Daddy" Rose said as she hugged her dad.
Meanwhile, a creature is head-butting a side door as Sophia and Caleb are playing airplanes.
"Brrrm, brrrm" They both shouted smiling and laughing almost forgetting about everything that was going on.
"Kids calm down!" The Doctor shouted taking his anger out on them.
Sophia and Caleb didn't reply they just gave sad looks.
"Sorry kids. Carry on playing airplanes, just be a bit more quieter" The Doctor said as they nodded. As they ran Sophia slipped just as she was going to Rose.
"Sophia!" Caleb shouted lifting her up. "Mom!"
"What happened?" Rose said as Sophia sobbed into her shoulder.
"We were playing and she fell over" Caleb informed his mother.
"So these are my future grandchildren then?" Pete asked as Rose nodded. "How did you get here?"
"If I tell you. You can't tell anyone else" Rose said as Pete nodded. "Time machine"
Little Mickey runs up to them and hugs Sophia.
Phoebe doesn't do anything, except from looking shocked she was hugging her Godfather.
"He just grabs hold of what's passing and holds on for dear life. God help his poor girlfriend if he ever gets one" Jackie said.
"Me and Rose were just talking" Pete said as Caleb hid slightly behind Rose. He wasn't as bright as Sophia was.
"Oh, yeah? Talking? While the world comes to an end, what do you do? Cling to the youngest blonde. Come on, Mick" Jackie said as she and Mickey leave.
"You can't tell her" Caleb said to his granddad.
"Why?" Pete asked not knowing why he couldn't tell his wife.
"I mean, I really don't want you to tell her" Caleb replied.
"What, do you don't want people to know?" Pete then asked Caleb.
"Where I come from, Jackie doesn't know how to work the timer on the video recorder" Caleb replied as his Grandma wasn't good at stuff like that.
"I showed her that last week. Point taken" Pete replied as Rose smiled.
The Doctor is with baby Rose, when Sophia, Caleb and Rose walk up.
"You've been crying" The Doctor said to his daughter as he could see that her eyes were still red, from where she had rubbed her.
"Yeah, she fell over" Rose informed as the Doctor nodded.
"Is this mom in the future then?" Caleb asked as the Doctor nodded.
"Kids, go and have some fun" The Doctor said as the kids walked away. "The entire Earth's been sterilized. This, and other place like it, are all that's left of the human race. We might hold out for a while, but nothing can stop those creatures. They'll get through in the end. The walls aren't that old. And there's nothing I can do to stop them"
"If I'd realized" Rose said as if she had realized she wouldn't of done it.
"Just tell me you're sorry" The Doctor said as it was the only thing he wanted to here.
"I am. I'm sorry" Rose said as they hug and the Doctor kisses her cheek. "Have you got something hot?"
She reaches into his inside pocket, takes out a key and drops it because it is glowing hot.
"It's the Tardis key!" The Doctor shouted as He takes off his jacket to pick it up safely. "It's telling me it's still connected to the Tardis"
"I'll get the kids" Rose said as she went to find the children.
"Mom. How long are we going to be in here for?" Caleb asked tired of being stuck in the church.
"I don't know sweetheart. Now come here my babies" Rose said as she hugged both of her children. "I will never let anything happen to you and neither will your dad"
"I'm tired mum" Sophia said as she rubbed her eyes.
"You can go to sleep when we get back the Tardis and I might read you a bedtime story" Rose said as she watched her daughter's face light up.
The Doctor makes an announcement from the pulpit. "The inside of my ship was thrown out of the wound but we can use this to bring it back. And once I've got my ship back, then I can mend everything. Now, I just need a bit of power. Has anybody got a battery?" The Doctor asked. Stuart picks up the mobile phone, which is the size of a brick.
"This one big enough?" Stuart asked.
"Fantastic" The Doctor replied.
"Good old dad. There you go" Stuart said.
"Just need to do a bit of charging up and then we can bring everyone back" The Doctor informed as he uses the ever-versatile sonic screwdriver while the creatures batter at the doors.
Outside, the car repeats its brief drive around the corner. Inside, the Tardis is fading in and out.
"When time gets sorted out" Rose said to the Doctor.
"Everybody here forgets what happened. And don't worry, the thing that you changed will stay changed" The Doctor informed Rose.
"You mean I'll still be alive, though I'm meant to be dead. That's why I haven't done anything with my life, why I didn't mean anything" Pete said.
"It doesn't work like that" The doctor informed him.
"Rubbish. I'm so useless I couldn't even die properly. Now it's my fault all of this has happened" Pete said to them.
"This is my fault" Rose said as it was technically her fault.
"No, love. I'm your dad. It's my job for it to be my fault" Pete replied to his future daughter.
"Her dad? How are you her dad? How old were you, twelve? Oh, that's disgusting" Jackie said.
"Jacks, listen. This is Rose" Pete said to his wife.
"Rose? How sick is that? You give my daughter a second hand name? How many are there? Do you call them all Rose?" Jackie asked in shock.
"Oh, for God's sake, look. It's the same Rose!" Pete shouted as he takes baby Rose from Jackie and hands her to Rose.
"Rose! No!" The Doctor shouted.
The Doctor snatches her away too late and gives her back to Jackie. A creature appears inside the Church.
"Everyone, behind me! I'm the oldest thing in here" The Doctor shouted at the creature.
"Doctor!" Rose shouted at her husband.
"Dad!" Caleb and Sophia then shouted as the creature pounces on the Doctor, then flies over to the Tardis. They touch, the Tardis and the creature vanish, and the key falls to the floor. Rose runs to pick it up.
"It's cold. The key's cold. Oh, my God, he's dead. This is all my fault. Both of you. All of you. The whole world" Rose said as she held back the tears clinging on to the key as Sophia and Caleb cried but Pete comforted them.
As the creatures start scraping at the stonework outside, Pete watches the car drive around the corner again and again from the vestry window. He goes back into the church and over to Rose, who is sitting comforting Caleb and Sophia, Caleb has nearly stopped but Phoebe is still crying.
"The Doctor really cared about you. He didn't want you to go through it again, not if there was another way. Now there isn't" Pete said.
"What are you talking about?" Rose asked confused.
"The car that should have killed me, love. It's here. The Doctor worked it out way back, but he, er, he tried to protect me. Still, he's not in charge anymore. I am" Pete replied.
"But you can't" Caleb said as he had stopped crying.
"I'm your granddad and your dad" Pete said. "Jackie, look at her. She's ours"
"Oh, of course" Jackie said as she hugged the weeping Rose.
"I'm meant to be dead, Jackie. You're going to get rid of me at last"
"Don't say that"
"For once in your life, trust me. It's got be done. You've got to survive, because you've got to bring up our daughter. I never read you those bedtime stories. I never took you on those picnics. I was never there for you"
"You would have been"
"But I can do this for you. I can be a proper dad to you now"
"But it's not fair"
"I've had all these extra hours. No one else in the world has ever had that. And on top of that, I got to see you. And you're beautiful. How lucky am I, eh? So, come on, do as your dad says. You going to be there for me, love? Thanks for saving me"
-Outside the church
Pete runs out of the church, clutching the vase. A creature spots him. He runs to the corner, where the car appears. The driver flings his arm across his face.
"Goodbye, love" Pete said. Thump! The vase drops and breaks. The creatures vanish.
Go to him. Quick" The Doctor said. Rose wanted to hug the Doctor but had to go to Father as the kids hugged their father.
"We missed you dad" They both said smiling.
"I missed you too my little time tots" The Doctor replied.
Rose runs to her dying father. This time, the driver has stopped at the scene. Pete dies gazing into Rose's eyes. Rose kisses Pete farewell then stands up and looks at her family. The Tardis has relocated to outside the Tandoori across the road. The Doctor and Rose hug and kiss.
"I thought I'd lost you" Rose said to the Doctor as he took her hand and they walked away the kids following close behind.
As Rose tucked Sophia into bed, she heard a slight sob come from the 8-year-old.
"Sophia, what's the matter?" Rose asked in a motherly tone.
"Today was very emotional." Sophia said as she hugged her mother.
After exchanging good nights and I love you's. It was time to say goodnight to Caleb. The Doctor had already said goodnight to both children and could always sense them. He always said it was the time lord touch.
Caleb was already out like a light. Rose kissed his forehead before going to bed herself to bring an end to a emotional day but it was one of her best days because it meant her father did not die alone, and that was something Rose had always wanted to do.
