Fireflies Chapter 4
Bella's POV
"What cha doing down here?" the Doctor asked me, he was upside down, I sat underneath the panel. I smiled weekly as I looked back down to the floor. "Why so glum?" he asked me as he jumped down.
"Who said I was glum?" I replied as he sat by me.
"Your face." he replied.
"It's just human emotions." I smiled back as I looked at my phone. To my surprise i had signal. "You know what day it is today?" I asked him. He thought for a moment.
"Let me go check." he said as he climbed back up. "September 13th." he shouted down to me. He jumped back down to my level and said. "You really thought I forget your Birthday." he grinned as he pulled a present from behind him. It was a long gold box with a red bow on. "Happy 19th Birthday." he grinned
"Thank-you!" I chirped as I grabbed the present of him.
"Well what are you waiting for? Open it or I will." the Doctor cheered. I pulled off the bow and stuck it on the Doctors head. I opened the box and inside was a sonic screwdriver like the doctors but the light was Pink and the cover was black.
"OH MY GOD!" I shouted, "You shouldn't have." I said as I picked it up and soniced.
"I knew you would like it." the Doctor grinned. I looked at it and there was something about it that I couldn't understand.
"There's something about it I can't understand." I whispered as I put it away in my pocket. "Anyway, thank-you." I smiled as I hugged him tightly, I kissed his cheek and he blushed. I laughed and pulled away.
"Is it just me or is it gettin cold." I said as I shivered.
"Yes it's quite cold." he replied. Then this guy appeared in front of us. He was small for a guy, he had little hair on his head, he had a blazer on and a red bow tie.
"Excuse me but who are you? And what are you doing in my TARDIS?" the doctor shouted as he got up to confront the guy.
"If they call you the Time Lord I'll be the Dream Lord that is going to eat at the darkest of points of your dreams and oh Yeh, did I say that the TARDIS is hurdling towards a cold star." he said casually.
"WHAT?" the doctor shouted as he tried to get past the dream lord.
"You must stay put as your feeling sleepy." he said, my eyes started to drift away. The doctor fell off his feet as his body was tired. His head lent against my leg. My head lent against the Bottom of the TARDIS panel.
"You must choose your fate, Doctor and companion." he said "But now sleep." he whispered as he clicked his fingers and we fell asleep. "Or awake."
But woke up somewhere else. I looked up and I was on a red corner couch with a blanket on me.
"Where am I?" I asked as I shot up too fast. "OUCH!" I cried as I sat up and looked at my stomach. "Why the Hell am I pregnant?" I whispered as I looked at my bulged stomach. "Please just say it's a curry belly." I pleaded as I pulled my self up and looked in the mirror. I looked older. "Doctor, where's the Doctor?" I asked as I walked outside. "Doctor?" I shouted and there was the TARDIS, I hobbled towards it and tried to open it. I shook the door madly as I tried to open it. I slammed on the door, when a police man walked out.
"There's no Doctor in here, can't ya read woman?" he replied very annoyed.
"I'm sorry." I stuttered. "Wrong thing." I said. He huffed and slammed the door in my face. I walked towards the house as I wrapped my fingers in my hair and I noticed on my left hand on my engagement finger, there was a ring, a sliver ring, with a blue topaz stone. I stared at it. I snapped out of my thoughts and walked back to the house.
"Doctor," I said. "Doctor, where are you?" I whispered, as I looked around.
"Bella." I heard somebody called.
"I'm in the Living room." I called back. I saw the Doctor walk in, he looked just the same.
"Wow haven't we grown?" he asked as he looked at my inflated stomach.
"Shut it!" I hissed. I grabbed his left hand and looked at his engagement finger, he had a silver ring on. I placed my hand by his and looked at them.
"Where m-m-married." I stuttered.
"And so we are, Mrs Who." he grinned, I rolled my eyes back at him. "But I can't be the Dad of that child." he replied as he crouched down to look at my bulging tummy.
"And why not?" I replied.
"It will burn up instantly." he said worried. "It's small human brain won't be able to carry so much amount of detail of the universe." he looked up at me and got up.
"Come on dream lord, show yourself!" the Doctor shouted at the empty house.
"Your partner looks rather big, much like an elephant." he said as he walked around us, I huffed at his comment. "You need to find away to escape from the dream you just had about the TARDIS, Arh they were the good old days weren't they? You and Bella travelling the stars together." he smiled at the doctor, the doctor stared back. "Or is this the dream, you and doctor getting married, having a kid together." he smiled at me. "You need to come back to reality or is this present. You have about..." he looked at his watch. "2hours to decide. Good luck." he smiled , he waved at us before he disappeared.
"We have 2hours to make a choice." I looked at the doctor.
"A choice, to come back to reality or stay in the dream forever. Locked in are own bubble." he said as he walked around, "A dream, your dream and mine squashed together and here we are." the Doctor exclaims.
"The TARDIS could be an nightmare." I replied.
"That's a possibility." he smiled. "Let's walk and prod this Dream lord with a stick.." he said as he held my hand. I stared at him. "Lighten up Bella, were married." the doctor said as we walked out. The little town was peaceful with the only sounds being the laughter of children. "Isn't this nice." he grinned at me as I wobbled.
"What's nice?" I questioned.
"This!" he shouted in happiness. "No Aliens to battle." he grinned.
"No it definitely is not!" I replied. "Them days were fun. Not like these days, boring and dull and where's the TARDIS?" I questioned.
"Yes, well I really don't know." he looked down, upset.
"Why don't you know?" I shouted at him. "You know everything doctor!" I cried.
"Bella calm down." he said as he led me to a park bench. I sat down, as I looked up to the sky. The doctor sat by me.
"Your going to stress out the baby." the dream lord said. I looked at him.
"I'll punch the living daylights out of you, if you don't return us to present tense, get me out of this nightmare!" I shouted.
"Calm down companion. No need to get angry, is there?" he asked me. "This is manly your idle place, your the one who brought it or was it when you were little and you wanted to by it?" he smirked. "I thought you'd be happy with the Doctor." he grinned.
"Leave her alone." the Doctor hissed.
"Oh and here's the father of the child protecting her from her childhood wishes which is now a reality or a dream." The dream lord smirked at the doctor. "Tell me Doctor. When your TARDIS freezes will you die? Or will you wake up when your wife over here has your baby." he asked him. "Oh and there the sweet sound of birds chirping in the distance. Listen to them, you might never hear them again." he said before he disappeared.
"Try to fight it off honey." the doctor said tiredly.
"I can't." I replied as I placed my head on the doctors shoulder and fell asleep.

And woke up in the TARDIS. I panted as I shot up. I looked around and the Doctor was on my calf. There was snow on the doctor and on me, snow was everywhere!
"Doctor!" I shouted as I nudged him, he yawned and woke up.
"Swan?" he smiled as he sat up.
"I had the most weirdest dream! I was in the countryside and I was married to you and I was pregnant and we only had 2 hours to make a choice. It was so weird." I said as I rubbed my head. He looked at me, so worried.
"I had the same dream too." he replied as he got up and ran up stairs. I followed behind him. "Were heading into a cold star. Were going to die if we don't get warm and.."
"You will do anyway in about an hour and a half." the dream lord said as he lent against the panel. "Hurry up Doctor." he whispered in persuading tone before he was gone.
"Like I was saying, we'll properly die with in half an hour of being in it's orbit cause we would have freezes to death. We have an hour and a half left to live." the doctor whispered the last part.
"Just like he said." I replied. I watched him as he tried to free us from the cold star. He pulled the leaver then all the lights went off. I looked at the doctor, who looked really worried.
"YOU STUPID MACHINE! WHY DO YOU ALWAYS BREAK DOWN WHEN ITS IMPORTANT!" he shouted as he kicked the panel, he jumped up and down in pain. "Don't use force, you'll just embarrass yourself, unless your angry. In which case always use force." he shouted
"Doctor do you know how to fix it? I asked
"No! I threw the Manuel away." he shouted at me.
"Why?" I questioned
"Because i was angry and nobody talks to me when I'm angry!" he shouted at me.
"The Birds I can hear the birds." I said as my eyes began to close. "Why can I hear them?" I asked as I lay on the floor and fall sleep.

and woke up still sat on the park bench. I sat up and tried to stand up.
"Doctor, help me up please." I asked him as he got up, he pulled me up and I smiled at him.
"Not being nasty or anything but that lady over there is looking at us like were food." I laughed as I looked at this old women around about in her 80s. The doctor stared at this women and turned to me.
"She does a bit doesn't she?" he asked me. I nodded. "Let's go and see." he said as he ran towards her.
"Can we please stop with the running thing?" I shouted, he carried on running. I rolled my eyes and wobbled to where ever he was going.
"Poor Bella." A voice said then the dream lord was by me, walking with me. "He doesn't understand that your carrying his child."
"I don't mind." I replied.
"Oh but you do, don't you?" he smirked, I looked down.
"The doctor would have told me if he wanted this child or not, I mean he is the father." I said.
"But he did want you didn't he?" he asked me.
"Yes or else he would haven't pulled me out of the fire," I answered. "And he wouldn't have married me and also he would of told me."
"You think he tells you everything don't you?" he asked me. He stopped right in font of me.
"Yes!" I hissed.
"Then tell me, Bella. What is his Name?" he smirked, I stared at him upset then I looked at the floor,
"An hour and 15 minutes," he whispered before he disappeared.
"Bella!" the doctor shouted.
"What?" I shouted back.
"Hurry up!" he called.
"Take a look at me doctor? Do you think I can run fast?" I shouted at him.
"Well I see that you need the exercise! Now come on!" he shouted. I rolled my eyes at him. The tried to run as fast as I could. He stood looking at an old persons home.
"Why are you looking at the old people like there from a different planet?" I asked him as I gasped for air.
"I'm not." he replied. "I'm not doing that at all."
"Yes you are." I said
"Not." he whispered. I rolled my eyes at him. He was driving me around the bend! I was in my own little world when my stomach started to ache and the pain killed me.
"The Baby I think it's coming!" I cried, as I grabbed it.
"What should I do?" he asked panicked.
"Your a doctor do something!" I cried as I held my stomach.
"Right I'm a doctor, I can do this." he replied as he scanned my body then he put my hands underneath me.
"DOCTOR!" I shouted. Then it stopped. "False alarm." I said casually as I looked at his face. "I just made you go as White as sheet, now listen to me. You wait for me or else!" I hissed. He looked annoyed and some how relieved.
"Good one Bella, now come on." he said as he took my hand and walked in side the old folks home.
"Hello people, Im the knew doctor." he said as he held up a blank piece of paper.
"Who's this?" the same old lady that we saw earlier said.
"Im his trainee." I replied with a smile on my face. He scowled at me then said.
"Can you hear the sweet sound of birds?" she asked us. My head became all dizzy and I felt myself falling on the floor, I heard a bang next to me. Then I was under.

I woke up in the Dark TARDIS. The doctor was already up.
"I..I...I'm...R-Really...Cold." I shivered.
"S...So..So...Am...I...I," the doctor replied. "I..Can't...f-feel..my..feet...a-and...other...parts." he shivered that part made me smile. I got up as I stumbled up the stairs. "W-W-Where...are...y-you...going?" he asked me.
"To...your..bed." I replied as I got the cover of and walked to my bed. "Get..up ...here." I shouted as I shivered. He walked up the stairs and stared at me as I threw his dark blue cover over my purple bed cover. "Get...In...Unless...You..want...to...freeze to d-death." I said, he hurried in and I followed.
"W-we...need...to...make...a...choice." the doctor said, I turned to him and looked at him.
"I sa-say it's this..o-one." I shivered as I cuddled up to him. He looked surprised. "Don't...looked... so ...surprised. This...Is...W-what penguins do...they huddle." I hissed at him.
"W-well I say the other one." he replied.
"This is a hard decision isn't it?" the dream lord asked us. "Look at the two lovers." he smiled as he clapped his hands.
"It's...not...like...that!" I hissed at him.
"Sure it isn't." he replied as I rolled his eyes at him. We both sat up to look at him. "Doctor, please may I talk to Bella, the girl who never fitted in. There once was a girl called Bella, who never had a perfect fella. She sit on her bed, thinking in her head. Why don't I fit in? am I really that bad?" he grinned at me.
"No. That's...not..true.." the doctor spat. "and...No..you...can't...take..her." the doctor stuttered.
"But listen carefully doctor. I'm slowly taking her away from you. There once was an old doctor from Gallifrey who ended up throwing his life away. He let down his friends, and oh look at the time, don't spend to long there or else your'll die here." the dream lord grinned. I watched the doctor as his body begin to fall.
"No!" I shouted. "Don't...Don't...Please...don't go..." I stuttered as I cupped his face.
"I'll be back. Don't worry." he said before his eyes closed. Looked at him panicked.
"W..What...do...you..mean... Don't...worry?" I shouted at his sleepy face.
"No point Swan. He can't hear you."
"N-Nobody...Calls...me...Swan...except...The...doctor." I snarled as I covered the doctor with the cover.
"Well Bella, fancy this the doctors left you with me. Spooky old me." he grinned at me. "Anything could happen." he said as he sat on the bed with a black dressing gown on.
"He..didn't...have...a...choice...he..will...stop..you...n-no...matter...what!" I shouted at him "He..wouldn't...leave..me.." I whispered as I looked at his snow covered face. I stroked his cheek and then looked back at the dream lord.
"Admit it. You love him. You try to cover it up with lies and jokes. But you can't hide from me. Isabella Swan." he grinned as he lent forward. "I've seen your dreams, some in fact, twice. I would have blushed, If I was flesh and blood." he shouted. I looked down as I blushed hard. "Listen Bella. The next time you go asleep or wake up, you'll have to make a choice. This dream or that world. You have half an hour." he whispered angrily before he disappeared.
"Oh Doctor," I whispered. "I'm so sorry." I whispered as I hugged his unconscious body. I placed his body on the pillows with all the cover. I walked down the stairs and I sat on the swing thing at the bottom of the TARDIS. Slowly rocking myself, Then I heard the sound of Birds, here we go. I thought before I flopped of the seat and on the crashed floor.

I woke up in my unborn Childs bedroom.
"How did I get here?" I asked myself, that's when I saw the Doctor.
"I carried you and where under attack by Eknodine aka the old people, with green eyes in there mouths that cough out gas that turn you into dust." he grinned as he sat by me. Then another pain shot through me.
"Owww!" I shouted, I screamed at the pain. "The Baby!" I cried as I sat up.
"Are you sure your not pretending?" he asked me, I stared at him like he was an idiot well right now he was. He looked at my stomach, before a pensioner crashed threw the window. The doctor leaped up, but before I knew it he was sprayed with the gas, but he pushed her out of the window before he collapsed by me. He smiled at me.
"Doct-OR!" I cried as I picked up his face with one of my hands. He went pale and his eyes were going back.
"Bella, honey, everything's going to be alright." he said quietly.
"It can't be ALL right!" I shouted as I cried, my tears dripped on him. "Your NOT with me!" I shouted, the pain hurt so badly. I cried as I held my stomach. "Don't go please, I need you!" I cried before he turned into dust in front of my eyes. I sobbed as I held my stomach.
"I HAVE CHOSEN!" I shouted at the empty house. "The real ones the TARDIS!" I cried as I panted.
"Are you sure?" the dream lord asked me.
"A world without the Doctor. It can't be real." I cried.
"Suit your self." he smiled as he pointed towards the window. The same pensioner climb threw the window and had me cornered.
"Take ME! You've already took my life!" I cried, her mouth opened and in side was a green tongue thing, but it had an eye on it. It opened it's mouth and sprayed me. I watched myself turn into dust.

Then I woken at the bottom of the TARDIS, as cold as ice. Snow on me and around me.
"Congratulations, Bella. You chosen right. Now for some heating." the Dream lord shouted as the power went back on. "Now I have no need to be here, I'll go. I've been defeated." his voice echoed around the TARDIS. I smiled at my self as I saw the feet of the doctor walked slowly down the stairs.
"B-Bella.. W-what... Are ..you d-doing ..down ..here?" he asked me as he brought the cover down. I crouched as He sat by me. I hugged him tightly. He hugged back. He picked me up and carried me to the panel. He placed me down on the floor, as he searched for a button.
"I'm going to blow up the TARDIS! He's the dream lord, not the reality and dream lord. This is also a dream!" he shouted in happiness.
"What?" I questioned but it was to late he already pressed it.

I found my self, walking down the stairs of the TARDIS to the doctor.
"What's that?" I asked.
"Physic pollen. It must have got stuck in the time rotor and warmed up sending us into a dream state." he said as he opened the doors and blew it. He stared at the sky for a moment and closed the door.
"So was that the dream lord?" I asked him.
"What no, wasn't it obvious?" he asked me, I shook my head. "The bow tie, the blazer, the trousers. Bella it was me." he grinned. "It feeds on everything dark, 907 I'm getting on a bit." he grinned.
"You don't look bad." I smiled. "Anyway why didn't it feed on me?" I asked
"It did but only a tiny bit, it would have starved to death if it feed on you completely." he grinned. "I pick my friends with great care."
"So on of that was real?" I asked him.
"Nope not one drop." he grinned. I walked over to him.
"Where shall we go now?" I asked him.
"Let's take a trip back in time." he grinned.
