Chapter 3

We then hear someone knocking on the door of the TARDIS. We run to the door and open it to reveal…

"Jack, what are you doing here?"

"I decided to drop some friends off at their home and decided to see what you two were doing here. How's Rose? Where is Rose?"

"Rose is fine and right here. We've been resting. We have some pretty big news."

"Rose, what happened? You look…good. Different but good. I have some big news too. Why don't you two come out here?"

"Ok." We step out and see three people we never thought we'd see again. "Mum, Pete, Mickey, what are you doing here? We thought you guys were trapped in the parallel dimension."

"Rose? You look different. Doctor, what the hell did you do to my daughter?" Slap!

"Ow! What was that for? And I didn't do anything to her."

I clear my throat pointedly and Theta says sheepishly, "Well, I'm not the one who changed her to being a Gallifreyan."

I try not to laugh at that but end up laughing anyway. I laugh so hard my stomach starts to hurt. "You shouldn't have made me laugh that hard, because now my stomach's hurting. Ow." When Theta looks at me and asks 'Are you ok?'

'I don't think your children liked that too much. Either that or they're really excited because I just got a pretty powerful kick or something from one of them.'

'Sorry sweetie.' 'It's ok. You can make it up to me later tonight.'

Jack starts laughing right after I think that, but I brush it off.

"You two wanna clue us in on what exactly you were doing just then?" Mum says.

"We were having a conversation in our heads. It comes in handy when we don't want others to know everything we're saying."

"Ok. Rose what was with you grabbing you're stomach and saying ow?" Mum asked.

'Should we go ahead and tell them or do we just say it's nothing?'

'I'm not sure. How hard do you think Jackie's gonna hit me for knocking you up?'

'Do you have to say it like that? I'm just glad no one else can hear us.'

'That's not entirely true.'

' What?! Who can hear us?'

'Jack can hear us.'

'Jack can you come over here for a second?'

Jack walks over and I slap him and Theta on their cheeks.

"Ow!" They both say at the same time.

"Sorry Rose."

"You should have told me. But I guess I can forgive you. Just promise you won't keep any secrets from me ever again."

"I'm not sorry." Jacks struggles to say while he's laughing.

"Do you really want to make me mad, Jack?"

"Sorry Rosie."

"That's better."

"Someone wanna clue us humans in on what all of that was?"

"Jack can hear our thoughts."

"Are you gonna answer my question any time soon?"

"You might want to sit down." After everybody takes a seat, I open my mouth to talk then I pass out.

'Are you ok, love? I need you to wake up.'

'I'm fine. Why does my head hurt?'

'where exactly does it hurt?'

'The back of my head.'

'You fell and hit the floor before I could grab you. Sorry, Rose.'

'It's fine. Just make sure it doesn't happen again.' "Ugh. Well, that was fun." I say very sarcastically. "Someone wanna help me stand up?"

"I don't think that's the best idea, Rose. I'll carry you to the Med-bay."

"Fine. Just please be careful and don't let me hit anything on the way there. My head feels bad enough as it is."

"You know I would never intentionally let you get hurt."

"Yes but you aren't always careful." 'And we don't want these two getting hurt.'

'I know. I promise I'll be more careful. And anyway haven't I been more careful with you since doomsday?'

'Hmm. Let's think about what's happened just today for a minute. Who ended up on the floor when her husband should've caught her before she hit the ground? And who laughed so hard that her stomach started hurting and had the baby kick her right after she finally stopped laughing?'

'She's got a point there Doc.'

'Did anybody ask your opinion, Jack?'

'Jack it's ok. I've got this. But please stop listening to our conversations all the time. Thank you for sticking up for me though.'

'No problem sis.'

"Do you guys mind not doing that so much?"

"Sorry guys. We tend to do that pretty much constantly when we're talking to each other."

"Ok. Are you gonna answer your Mum's question anytime soon?"

"We should let her rest for now. Too much stress isn't good for her."

'Or the babies, right?'

'Jack shut up!' We say at the same time.

Jack starts laughing at that. "You guys are really funny when you think like that at the same time."

"What did they say?"

"They told me to shut up at the same exact time. Actually they yelled that."

"Why?"

"Because I thought something that they didn't want me to I guess."

'Jack if you don't shut up, I will rip your balls off and staple them to your head'

'You'll do what? The TARDIS didn't translate that, so I'm guessing it wasn't something very nice.'

'Should I tell him what I said?'

'Please do, I want to see what his reaction to that is.'

'You're mean, you know?'

'You're the one who thought it sweetie, not me.'

'Wipe that smirk off your face unless you want a Tyler woman slap. And a pregnant one at that.'

Theta gives me that look that he knows I can't resist.

"Would you stop doing that?"

"Doing what?"

"Giving me that look."

"Forgive me?"

"Yes."

'Jack, I said I'll rip your balls off and staple them to your forehead in Gallifreyan.'
