I glanced nervously at mum as she stood in front of me with her arms crossed.
"Well? Out with it, Jessa." She said. I bit my lip and looked to the Doctor for help. He smiled at me encouragingly.
"Are you from the future or something?" Mickey asked.
"No. Well, yes . . . not really?" I told them. They all gave me a confused look. I sighed and crossed my arms. "I am from the future but not from this dimension." I turn to Rose and mum. "Where I come from, Rose is my grandmother and your my great grandmother." They stared at me in shock. "In my world magic is real like how aliens are real here." I pulled out my wand and showed it to them. "This is my wand. It's eleven inches long, made of holly, with a phoenix feather as its core." I told them as I started from the begin of my story. I told them about my parents and brother, friends, husband and child. I told them of the abuse I suffered at the hand of the Dursley's. I told them about the adventures I had at school. I simply told them everything I could remember and when I was done, the room was quiet. I stared at my lap, waiting for someone to say something. I glanced up when I felt the seat beside me dip. Mum had tears in her eyes as she stared at me.
"Oh, Jessa!" She cried as she brought me into her arms. I froze in shock as she continued crying. "I always knew you were special. My darling daughter. I love you so much." I wrapped my arms around my mum and started to cry. "Let it all out, sweetheart." She rocked me back and forth as I sobbed.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner." I cried. "I didn't want to lose you and think I was a freak." Mum shushed me as she petted my hair.
"I would never think that about you, Jessa." She told me. "Now the Doctor on the other hand, though." She teased.
"Oi!" I let out a watery chuckle and pulled away from mum. She wiped my tears away with her thumbs. I sniffed a few times before smiling at mum.
"Thank you." She simply smiled. I turned to Rose and Mickey for their verdict. I was suddenly ambush by two figures, who then hugged the ever loving daylights out of me. "Guys . . . can't . . . breath!" I choked out to them.
"Sorry!" They both said and released me. I sucked in a deep breath in relief.
"Well, now that's done with. How about we open those presents?" Mum asked us. We all nodded our heads and she passed out the presents to us. She turned to the Doctor and handed him one.
"I get a present?" He asked her as he gently took it from her.
"It's a thank you gift for making my Jessa happy and full of life again." He stared at her for a moment before pulling her into a hug. Mum chuckled and patted him on the back as he let her go. He walked over and sat down beside me.
"You should open your's first, Doctor." I told him.
"All right." He ripped the paper off the present and we both stared at the gift. "A lighter?" The Doctor picked it up, looking at it's fancy design.
"It belong to Pete." Mum said. I gently took it out of the Doctor's hand, staring at it in wonder.
"Jessamine?" The Doctor asked. I flicked the cap open and all of the lights flew into it. I burst into joyous laughter as mum and Rose let out shrieks.
"What the hell is that thing?" Mickey asked.
"Deluminator or as Ron called it, the putter outer." I told him. "Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light." I quoted from Albus and flicked the cap again, the light returning to their respected places. I handed it back to the Doctor, who took it gingerly.
"This was yours?" He asked me. I nodded my head.
"In a way, yes." He tried to hand it back to me. "No, keep it. I can't think of anyone else better to have it." I gently close his hand over it. "I know you'll keep it safe and enjoy it." He gave me a small smile.
"Thank you." He whispered.
"Your welcome, Doctor." I told him then turn to mum. "Your turn." She stared at me, confused.
"Jessa, I don't have a present." I tilted my head with a secretive smile.
"Don't you?" I questioned. Rose got up and went to her room. She quickly return with a pink wrapped box. I groaned at the sight. "Pink?"
"It was blue last year, Jessa." She retorted. I rolled my eyes but grinned as she handed it to mum. Mum stared it then us with surprise and shock. "Well, go on! Open it, mum." Rose exclaimed with a chuckle. She slowly unwrapped the paper and opened the box, her hand flew to her mouth. Rose and I beamed at each other as mum took the gift out of the box. It was a white wooden picture frame with the only picture of mum, dad, Rose, and I together in it. We were at a park having an family picnic and dad had ask a total stranger to take a picture of us. Dad had plopped down beside mum and dragged me into his lap while mum held Rose in her arms, we all had bright smiles beside baby Rose. I looked to mum as tears rolled down her cheeks.
"I remember that day." I told her, she looked up at me with a wobbling smile. "One of the happiest days of my life here." She let out a watery chuckle.
"This was a few weeks before . . ." She trailed off.
"Before dad died." I finished for her, tears filling my eyes at the surfacing memory. I rubbed at my eyes and turn to Mickey. "Your turn, mate." He rolled his eyes and open his gift. Rose and mum got him some tickets to some game and then it was Rose's turn. Mum had gotten her some new clothes and hair products. Now everyone was staring at me, waiting for me to open my gift. I tear off the wrapping paper and open the box. I froze at the sight of what the box contained. Inside was the locket, the locket I dreamed about, the one I draw. I gently lift the gold star shape locket and simply stare at it with wide eyes. The diamond in the middle was breathtaking, I turned it over to see the back. I frown when I don't see the inscription.
"Do you like it?" I snapped my head up at mum's questioned.
"Yeah, it's beautiful." I told her and slipped it back into the box.
"That was with you when we found you." I glanced at the box then mum. "Your father wanted to give it to you when you found Mr. Right. It was gonna be your engagement gift from him." I bit my lip, tears filling my eyes again. I look down at the box and hand it back to mum. "Jessa?"
"Keep it safe for me. I haven't found him yet." I told her as she took into her hands.
"I'll keep it forever if that means you won't leave with some man." We all broke into laughter at that and started to clean up the mess the tree caused. I glanced at the Doctor slyly as I took my wand out and with a few flicks the flat was back in order. "Now, I'm defiantly keeping it." I wrapped an arm around my mum and pulled her into a side hug.
"Love ya too, mum." I told her with a chuckled as she swatted at my shoulder.
"Can I travel with you, Doctor?" Mum and I turned to Rose as she watched the Doctor. He turned to look at me then Rose. 'Please, tell her no.'
"Absolutely! More the merrier, right Jessamine?" He turned back to me. I plastered on a fake smile.
"Absolutely, Doctor." I said as they went back to talking. I watched them from the archway in the kitchen, this was going to end badly. I could just feel it.
