"Rose, Doctor, what the hell
"Rose, Doctor, what the hell?" I manage to yell when I finally get the picture up on the computer from where all the shouting is coming from.
I can see seven people on the screen, two of which I know should not be there, the other five I'm guessing should not be there. The Doctor (I think it's the human one) and Rose are standing surrounded by five children whose ages must range from five to sixteen.
"Oh my God we did it, we did it!" Rose starts screaming and the doctor pulls her into a hug and kisses her hard and when they finally come up for they start dancing around with the kids.
"Excuse me, I'm still here, so would you like to explain what's going on, 'cause last I heard you were stuck on a parallel universe." I shout
"Oh yeah, sorry Jack, you lot shut up," The Doctor shouts at what must be his kids.
"Thankyou, you may begin," I say folding my arms "actually you may not, I'll be right back," I say jumping up again and I run down from my office on to the balcony, "Oi you lot," I shout down my team "Yeah you lot, the ones who work for me, get to the conference room, you might want to see this, Mickey can you link my computer up to the big screen?" I shout quickly, they get going and soon we're all sitting around the table, and Rose starts to talk.
"Mickey! You work for Jack, you Mickey," Rose laughs and so does the doctor
"Nice to see you to," Mickey says
"Sorry, how are you? Are you married yet?" Rose asks calming down a bit
"Married, Rose I'm twenty three, it's only been two years since we saw you," Mickey replies
"Seriously, two years? It's been sixteen here?" The doctor replies perplexed
"Right, why don't you two explain what's going on." I say trying to take charge.
Rose starts to speak
"Okay, so as you might or might not already know, the Time Lord Doctor decided it would be a right nice idea to dump us – that is me and the Human Doctor and my mum"
"Her mum, can you imagine being stranded on a beach for hours with her mum" The Doc interrupts
"Thankyou, so anyway he dumps us there and we're like, oh dear, we're stuck here, but eventually we get off the beach and out of Norway, you don't really need to know that bit. So we get back to England and you can imagine what going on, well let's just say Donna was born nine months late, a few months after that somehow he somehow persuades me to marry him. By this time we're both working for torchwood,"
"Gods know why," the doctor buts in
"Hey you like your job," Rose turns to him, the kids sigh, like this is an on going thing
"Sure I do,"
"Not that you actually work, all you is tinker with stuff and never get anything done,"
"I made the sonic screwdriver, and the solar lighting that works even if there's no sun,"
"You did not make that; you just modified it a bit,"
"How do you know, what do you no about the planet of the Lerdanous?"
"You took me there" Rose says triumphantly and grins.
"Sorry to interrupt, but you haven't exactly explained how you are talking to us." Gwen says
Rose looks back to the screen in surprise as if she has forgotten we're all there.
"Oh yeah, sorry," she says "So anyway it's sixteen years after we got left here, we now five kids, oh shall we do introductions,"
All of us on the other side start nodding, so the kids arrange themselves in age order.
"This is Donna, she's sixteen," Rose says,
"I can talk you know," Donna says quickly
"Okay then, for fear of looking like the Von Trapp's tell them your names and stuff" the doctor says before Rose can say anything
"You know who the Von Trapp's are Doctor?" I ask laughing at the Domesticity of it
"I have seen Sound of Music, Thankyou very much," he retorts
"Well I met them, beat that, that Maria is Feisty!"
"So any way, I'm Donna, I'm Sixteen and mum said that when we get through to you I wasn't to let you flirt with me but I don't think I'd mind." The blonde says confidently and we all laugh.
"Well I wouldn't mind either, but I think your dad might," I respond and they look up to see their dad growling lightly
"Stop it,"
"I'm only saying, plus believe it or not, I've settled down," I say grabbing Ianto and hugging him too me.
Rose and the Doctor both laugh, and Donna looks put out.
The oldest boy comes forward now.
"Hey, I'm Mickey; I'm fourteen and is it true that you defeated the slitheen with pickled eggs? I'm mean seriously Eggs?" he says, he has dark hair and is taller than Rose, nearly as tall as his older sister.
Mickey on this side speaks up
"Well technically speaking-"
"Mickey the idiot speaks technically, that's a first," The doctor buts in
"Hey, anyway, it was the vinegar, luckily I had lots of pickles in that week, otherwise you would not have a grandmother, or a namesake for that matter. Thanks for that by the way" Mickey says, directing the last to Rose
"Anything for my favourite idiot," The doctor buts in before she can say anything.
"My turn," the youngest boy barges up to the screen, "I'm Jack and I'm eight and I'm you," he says pointing straight at me.
"Jack Junior, it's me, mini me, little me, Jack the second, there's another little me!" I jump up and shout, mostly for little me's benefit.
Everyone laughs and we start dancing madly, until one of the younger girls comes up to the screen
"I'm Sarah-Jane, I'm six and I can say Raxa, Roxo Raxacoricofallapatorius!" The blonde girl says triumphantly
"Well done sweet-"Martha starts
"Oh please, I could say Raxacoricofallapatorius when I was four-"Donna starts
"I'm four" The youngest girl pipes up
"The real question is can you say The Mighty Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe" Donna states looking challengingly at her younger siblings.
"The mighty Jag, The mighty jagr-"Sarah starts
"The Mighty Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe" The youngest child states proudly
"And you are?" I ask the little lady
"I'm Harriet, I'm four and I can say the might Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe. I also know what the square root of pie is"
"What is it?" I ask
"1.77245385090551595385060386978284673747309293829108902983019890983879873928479098789787874873758974389577877689201010293749693749393995883177245385090551590….."
"Wow" I say "You got yourself a super kid there Doctor,"
The doctor opens his mouth to reply but Martha cuts him off
"So, umm nice meeting you all, and nice seeing you two again, but you still haven't explained how we're talking to you," Martha says
"Sorry," Rose says, although she doesn't look sorry "So, as I said, we both work for torchwood, him playing around with stuff and me actually doing some work,"
"I still don't know what you do," The doctor says thoughtfully
"Universe stuff remember. Anyway any way I started getting these odd readings on my computer, then my computer started intercepting e-mails and stuff, I investigated to see if it was coming from any of the other departments, Cardiff torchwood shutdown ten years ago when Toshiko Sato and Owen Harper were killed. About a year ago I started hearing voices coming from the computer, from your hub, that's when I first knew it was your hub. Torchwood wanted me to stop working on it, so I brought it home. We've been working on it for over a year, a couple of times we've gotten a picture but no sound and vice versa, oh and by the way I've seen some interesting things, Mickey, Martha. So anyway I've been trying to get through to you, and now finally we have."
"What's going to happen now, I mean are the walls of the universe's collapsing or what?" Gwen asks
"I don't know, I mean we did checks, we wouldn't of continued with any of this if we didn't think it was safe. But we do, as long as we don't actually try and get through to your universe I think we're all right." Rose says
"So we can call you and chat when ever, this is cool" Mickey grins
"Are you going to try and contact the Doctor," I ask
Every ones goes quiet. The kids look up at their parents and quickly down at the floor. Roses hand shifts from Mickey's shoulder to the Doctors hand and the Doctors other arm wraps around her waist.
"He might be hard to track," The Doctor starts "And it might be kind of odd seeing myself again after sixteen years, I can't say I really liked that, but I think we can try, right" he says turning his head to smile at Rose and she leans forwards and kisses him.
"I love you," He whispers and she gives him an odd look, as do all the kids. She opens her mouth to start to say something, but he shakes his head and gives her a look that says they'll talk later.
Turning towards the screen again the doctor says "Like I said, it will be hard to track the Doctor, we'll have to start somewhere a bit easier," at this he stoops down and picks Sarah-Jane up "How about we call up Mr Smith, and Sarah-Jane?"
