A/N: Alexander, Frazer and Angel' son, was introduced in my story How Hard Can It Be and is now two years old. This is the first time I mentioned Angus, Ian, Conner and Robert's wives, Colleen, Toni, Melissa, Catherine, and Victoria's husband, Derek. You are also going to get a clue into when Jamie and Jenna found their adopted children. Mechanical Boy comes from HR PufnStuf.
Chapter Two
(Three days ago.)
"I am NAE coming out!" Jamie shouted from behind the wardrobe as Theta, Frankie, Jenna and her children stood in the control room and Theta sighed. Every year, one member of the families had to be a representative at the World Court and this year it was Jamie's turn. He was pretty excited about going until he learned what he had to wear and he looked at his reflection. He had to wear some strange things in his travels with his father-in-law but this was too much. "No, there is NO way I am going out in this!"
"Jamie, you have to come out, the shuttle leaves in ten minutes!" Theta said.
"I'm sorry, Doctor, uh, Dad, but there is no way I am going out in public like this!" Even after two centuries, he had trouble calling Theta "Dad" and sighed, his back up against the wall.
"But it's alright for you to walk around Kasterbourous City in a KILT!" Frankie teased and Jamie growled.
"That's different! I look like…Well, I'm nae sure what I look like."
"Come on out, Dad, we want to see!" Frazer said while he balanced his two year old son, Alexander, on his right hip. He looked like a mini version of Frazer except for his mother's eyes and was wearing a blue, slightly stained, Penguins of Madagascar tee shirt and jeans and one of his white converse sneakers was untied. Holding onto his Skipper the Penguin stuffed toy, he placed his head on Frazer's shoulder and put his thumb in his mouth.
"Yeah, Dad, how bad can it be?" Angel asked. Frazer and Angel had recently celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary and it still amazed her that she had married her best friend. It never bothered her that he originally came from Scotland in the year seventeen forty-six and was adopted after his biological mother and father were killed. He was the most fun loving, caring man she had ever met and he had been there for the good times as well as the bad.
"Come on, Highland, we promise not to laugh!" Jenna said when they heard a loud sigh and a shadow moved within the wardrobe. The sounds of boots thumped on the metal as they watched Jamie walk down the ramp then stood in front of them, his hands crossed over his chest.
"Wow!" said Zoe, Douglas and Cameron and Jamie rolled his eyes. Sitting on the top of his head was a golden skullcap and his bangs hung down in his eyes. The high collar arched over his head while the golden robe hung loosely over his body, the golden boots sticking out of the bottom. His lower lip stuck out as he frowned and Jenna walked closer, brushing the hair out of his eyes.
"If only the rest of the kids could see you," she whispered then kissed his lips and he half smiled. Their older children, Angus, Robby, Ian, Conner and Victoria, were currently off planet helping a colony deal with the after effects of a flood and Angus, Robby, Ian and Conner's wives, Colleen, Toni, Melissa, Catherine, and Victoria's husband, Derek, had gone with him. Two years ago, they were surprised when Angus, Robby and Ian all got married within months of each other and Conner and Victoria got married a year later, though Conner swore that he was never going to get married.
"You look really nice," Frankie said as she walked closer and adjusted the collar. She remembered the robes the Doctor had worn when he welcomes her into their family and how badly she wanted to laugh. Jamie arched up one of his eyebrows as she smiled and pushed the skullcap up so it wasn't hanging in his eyes.
"We have to go," Theta said as Jamie nodded and they left the TARDIS. A few minutes later Jamie was on a shuttle sitting next to Councilor Xashon, who was wearing a white skullcap and a white robe. She looked over the schedules and court dates when she looked at him and smiled.
"Councilor McCrimmon, are you alright?" she asked as he looked out the window and watched the stars going by.
"Aye, I'm fine," Jamie said and she placed her hand on top of his.
"I remember my first time in front of the World Court. I was terrified. But, don't worry, you won't have to do anything but observe."
"Well, I think I can do that," Jamie said with a smile.
"I was originally assigned Councilor Grenvor but he had family issues. I'm glad though because you're much better looking than he is."
"I am?"
"Yes, you're, oh, what is the old Earth saying? Ah, you are a pretty boy." The only one that thought he was a pretty boy was Jenna so it was a surprise that someone else thought of him as one. Jamie's face became four colors of red as he coughed then looked out the window and smiled.

"Will you put that away?!" Marion sighed as Adam placed the cell phone away and kissed her lips. Realizing centuries ago that he was never going to grow up, she was used to him being silly and childish. She also knew how lucky she was to still have him in her lives. She had almost lost him twice. The first time was when he was still human and his appendix went bad. His heart nearly stopped twice and he had slipped into a coma. She had never been so scared in her whole life and realized that it was Adam she wanted to spend the rest of her lives with. The second time was five years ago when he slipped into a coma after Rain, Tara and the Doctor had been taken and Rain had to become human in order for their tormentors to let the Doctor and Tara go. Adam had a psychic dream about Rain leaving the Doctor and his mind shut down, or ran away as Adam put it, when the dream came true. He woke up weeks later with no problems and the book he wrote about it became a best seller.
Looking over at their sons, James and David, she smiled as the two brothers tried to figure out one of the puzzles in the puzzle book David had brought with him and smiled. She was sad that the family friend they had named him after had died a long time ago because he would be proud of the sweet boy David was growing up to be. He had met David several times and David had inherited the toys, games, action figures and play sets James had from the popular show their friend had starred in. Their daughter, River, and her family were off planet and Marion's hearts hurt because they barely saw them. River was in charge of the safety of a planet of living dolls called chibis and it was a twenty-four seven job. They knew well how aliens as well as humans wanted the nearly immortal dolls and River pledged that no one would ever use them to do harm.
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOH-HOOOOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOO-IT'S MAGIC! YOU KNOOOOW! NEVER BELIEVE IT'S NOT SO!"
Adam blushed as he took the cell phone out of his pocket and looked at the screen. He clicked the cover down as he placed it in his pocket and smiled at Marion.
"Alan said they'll be here soon. Oh, Donna's here! She's going to stay for a bit while Lee's on some construction jobs," Adam said while Marion reached into his pocket and removed the cell phone. She made sure that it was off as she slid it into her purse and he blinked. "Don't you trust me?"
"No." Adam frowned as he sunk down in the chair and Cameron, Douglas, Zoe, Jackie and David giggled. Jenna sat near her father while Theta smiled and Frankie softly laughed.
"I'm just glad that you're not like that," Rosie said as John nodded and looked at the menu. Suddenly Beethoven's Fifth Symphony started playing as he coughed and took the cell phone out of his pocket. He looked at the message then snapped the lid shut and Rosie rolled her eyes.
"It's was from the Doctor. They'll be here in a few minutes," John said as they nodded when Adam reached over to snatch the cell phone off the table and John gently placed the tips of his fork on the back of Adam's hand. "Touch it and die." Adam's eyes went wide as he held his hand to his chest and Marion laughed.
"A simple " Don't touch!" would have been enough," Adam said as he scooted his chair closer to Marion and placed his head on her shoulder. "John is being a meanie."
"Awwwwwwww, here, have a breadstick," Marion said as she handed him a breadstick and he looked at it.
"I'd rather have my phone," he whispered as she stroked his hair and he blinked.
"I'll give it back to you when Alan gets here so you can text each other all through dinner."
"Yay!" Adam said as he placed the breadstick in his mouth and she rolled her eyes, smiling.
"I'M A MECHANICAL BOY…LIKE A MECHANICAL TOY…I FOLLOW DIRECTIONS...WHATEVER I'M TOLD…I NEVER GET HOT AND I NEVER GET COLD…
"What was that?!" asked Frazer when John quickly picked up the cell phone and flipped up the cover.
"Hello? Um, no, I can't talk now. Why? It's because my wife is glaring at…" John gasped as Rosie took the cell phone out of his hand and wagged a finger at him.
"Alan? Hi, look, John can't talk right now so can this wait until you get here? Good. No, you can't text him!" Rosie ended the call then turned the cell phone off, clicked the cover shut and placed it in her purse. Theta covered his mouth when he looked at Frankie and she held her hand out.
"What?" Theta asked, looking confused. Looking at her wiggling fingers, he reached into his pocket and removed his cell phone, handing it to her. It started vibrating in her hand as he shrugged and she flipped the cover up.
"Hello? Hi, Alan, no, Adam can't talk right now. He's eating a breadstick. No, you can talk to him later!" Frankie said with a firm motherly tone then ended the call, clicked the lid shut and placed the cell phone in her purse. "Cor, it's like dealing with three big kids."
"But we love them anyway," Marion said as she kissed Adam's cheek and he smiled.
"Yep," said Rosie as she ruffled John's hair and he smiled, going back to trying to figure out what he wanted for dinner.

At the end of the known universes was a place called The Nolands, a barren wasteland of raw rock, jagged craters and bubbling pools of acid. On the top of a black rock mountain stood a large crystal palace and the tallest towers reached toward the sky like long fingers. The sky was grey with large black clouds and an ice cold wind whistled through the crystals, making a shrill sound in the air.
Coming down a long corridor, the sound of silk against stone filled the air while sandaled feet glided along and the black silk from the robe swirled around the slender hips of the female walking down the corridor. Her long black hair was in a bun and held up by a pair of black onyx hair sticks and her amber eyes sparkled in the torchlight. Standing in front a large pair of ivory doors, she placed her hands on the doors and the doors groaned, opening slowly. Half gliding across the floor, she stopped near a tall figure standing near the window and his long fingers gently strummed the stone. His long ginger hair floating in the breeze from the window and his eyes were closed. He wore a black silk robe and sandals adorned his feet. She knew that he hated being kept out of time but it was the only way to assure his survival and she moved her hand up his back, making him turn toward her.
"I found them," Hoshi said as the Master, formally known as Cameron Douglas, smiled and their laughter echoed across the barren landscape.
