Chapter 4

"Oh my god" I whisper. The Doctor is staring at me, his eyes wide with shock. He lifts a hand and gently touches my cheek.

"It's you" he murmurs. I nod.

"It's me. Hi dad" I say quietly. Suddenly, he grins and picks me up and spins me around, laughing with joy and relief. I wrap my arms around his neck and smile so much that my cheeks hurt.

"I did it Doctor! I regenerated and I came back!" I cry. He finally stops spinning and puts me down but he still has a goofy grin on his face.

"Rose! Rose! It's Sophie!" the Doctor calls. Suddenly, Rose appears around the corner and rushes up to me, giving me a massive hug.

"Oh Sophie! I'm so glad you're ok!"

I laugh. "I'm good Rose" She lets me go and beams at me. I smirk. We're all smiles today.

"Right, not that I want to put a damper on this but there's a weeping angel in the cemetery and my old friends are in there" I say. The Doctor grins.

"I know. Why else do you think Rose and I were in there? No worry, we've sorted it. There were two, just the two, and we managed to get them to look at each other. They're not going anywhere"

I grin. "So, what are we gonna do now? And you have some explaining to do!" I say, poking the Doctor in the chest.

"Ow" he says, grinning.

"That didn't hurt" I say, laughing. He grins and suddenly hugs me again.

"Well, I know two other people who need to know you're alive" he says with a wink and I grin.

"Guess we're going to Torchwood then" I say and the Doctor nods. He extends a hand to me and then the other to Rose and hand in hand we all walk down the street to where the Tardis waits on the corner next to the post office.

"So, why did you take me back to my old house?" I ask, looking at the Doctor as we walk along, our hands swinging between us.

"It was first place I thought of and to be honest, I wasn't thinking straight" he says, frowning. I grip his hand tighter and then frown.

"Wait, two more people? But we saw Jade get killed by that Dalek!" I say. The Doctor grins and waggles his eyebrows at me.

"She came back to life. Don't ask me how, save it for when we get there because I want to know how as well" he says. Rose giggles at his confused expression.

"I've missed here. This is home" I say as we reach the Tardis. The Doctor smiles and we go inside. I dash up to the main console and give the Tardis an affectionate pat.

"Hello" I whisper and the Tardis hums back. I smile and feel the Doctor ruffle my hair.

"Right off we go. Torchwood to pick up Jack and Jade and then, um..." the Doctor trails off.

"Then what?" Rose asks. The Doctor scratches the back of his neck.

"Well, um, we've stopped the angels. So I guess we can have a relaxed day and do whatever!" he says with a grin before pulling up the lever and sending us all flying. We arrive at Torchwood with a bump but when we open the door, we are met with not a basement, but a large bay. Rose and I stumble out and turn around. We're parked in front a huge tower and a large building with Welsh and English writing on it.

"This isn't Torchwood! This is... Cardiff" Rose says. The Doctor nods.

"Torchwood 3 or Torchwood Cardiff, whichever you want to call it. Last time we saw Jack, he was at Torchwood London which is Torchwood 1. Well, that's where I tracked the signal from the message he sent us to. That was just a one off though, Jack actually works here"

"Where, there's nothing but the tower and the Millennium stadium!" I exclaim. The Doctor just waggles his eyebrows at me and walks off towards a pier that has a rusty old door at the end. Rose sighs and we follow the Doctor down the pier.
