Chapter 4: Will She be Okay?
The Doctor ran down the hallway in a hope of finding Martha. Donna, Gallifrey and Josephine closely followed him down the hallway. He quickly turned the corner.
"Ow!" Martha yelled out as the Doctor ran into her.
"Martha!" He yelled out and gave her a hug.
"What's this for?" Martha said as she returned the hug.
"Well you didn't respond when the TARDIS went on a trip of its own and you were the only one who didn't respond and since you weren't feeling well…sorry, looking well…so I assumed the worse."
"Well nothing bad has happened, so there's nothing…to…worry…abo…"
"Martha?" The Doctor yelled out as she collapsed in his arms. He lowered her to the ground.
"Mum!" The girls ran to Martha's side.
Martha was extremely pale. Worse then she was before and her temperature was high. But the good thing was she was breathing and her heart was still beating. The Doctor did a scan with is sonic screwdriver he grunted when he didn't get a satisfying result.
"What's wrong?" Donna asked as she brought a wet cloth in an attempt to cool her down.
"Something in her system, I just don't know what it is and well I don't know what to do except monitor her." The Doctor said in a bit of a panic. He picked Martha up and took her to the medical bay.
Gallifrey, Josephine waited outside of the med bay. They didn't like to see their mother like this. Martha is usually a healthy person.
"Do you think Mum will be okay?" asked Gallifrey nervously.
"I don't know. I hope she will be." Replied Josephine.
Donna came out of the medical bay.
"Your Mum is in a stable state at the moment, but we still don't know what's wrong with her." Donna said to them. The girls looked down at the floor. "She's in the best hands you know."
"Yeah we know." They whispered. "Can we go and see her?"
"Yeah." Donna said looking at them sadly. She remembered how hard it was for her when her father was sick.
The girls walked into the med bay and joined their father on the chair beside their mother's bed. They both gave the Doctor a comforting hug. Donna thought it best to leave them alone for a while.
A few hours had passed and Donna was in the kitchen making herself some tea. Josephine and Gallifrey walked in to the kitchen sleepily and sat themselves down at the kitchen table.
"How's Martha?" Donna asked making conversation.
"We don't really know. Dad just told us to leave…"started Gallifrey.
"after something started beeping. It must be something pretty serious." Finished Josephine.
"Come on. Let's get you two to bed. Looks like you need the sleep. If something happens I'll let you know, okay?" Suggested Donna.
"Thank you, Donna." The twins said in unison.
After Donna put the girls to bed she went to the medical bay to see what was going on. She opened the door and saw the Doctor opening cupboard doors and reaching for needles. Donna glanced over to Martha.
"Doctor?" She asked quietly. "What's that gold light coming out of Martha?"
The Doctor immediately dropped what he was doing and ran over to Martha.
"She can't be doing that. She's not even a Time Lady. Martha? Martha? Can you hear me?" He said quickly.
"What do you mean? What's happening?" Donna asked concerned.
"That gold light that's escaping usually means regeneration, which means changing every cell in the body, but she can't do that because she's human and humans don't do that sort of thing. I'll have to do a scan to see what's going on." He said rushing towards the scanner and conducting a scan. The gold light stopped. The Doctor, still looking at the monitor, looked at the results and started to smile. "Well that shines a new light on the situation."
"No time for jokes Doctor!" Donna scolded.
Martha started to wake up.
"How ya feeling?" Donna asked Martha coming to her bedside.
"Well, good considering." The Doctor replied still facing the monitor.
"Not you!" Donna said to him.
The Doctor turned and noticed Martha sitting up making herself comfortable. He rushed over to her and hugged Martha.
"Great actually. Never been better." Martha responded with a smile whilst hugging the Doctor.
Donna left the room to give the couple some time alone.
"You never told me." He said finally releasing her.
"Told you what?" Martha looked at him confused.
"You were pregnant again. It explains a lot. I mean why else would there be a gold light coming out of you. I mean the baby your carrying saved your life by curing you by…" He was interrupted by Martha who brought him closer and planted a soft kiss on his lips.
"Pregnant! Is it twins again?" Martha asked curiously.
"Not this time just the one." He said still overjoyed. "Can't say whether it is a boy or a girl yet, it's a bit early."
"Mum!" The girls said running up to Martha giving her a hug. "We thought something bad was going to happen. But you're all right!"
Donna watched from the doorway before turning and leaving them. She walked outside the TARDIS and noticed it was parked outside of her house. Donna gave a bit of a laugh.
"It looks like you knew it was going to happen." Donna said to the TARDIS as she headed to her house.
"Thank you, Donna!" The Doctor said scaring Donna.
"No problem. You're kids are great. You just need to give them a bit more attention." Donna replied to him.
Donna walked inside only to be met by her angry mother and the Doctor walked back inside the TARDIS.
AN: Yeah a bit late…okay a couple of weeks but who's counting? I don't know if I'll continue this story.
