The Doctor landed the TARDIS and stepped out, only to be surrounded by armed soldiers with their guns pointed right at him. He stood there with a smile on his handsome face until a dark haired older woman came in. He blinked and then, "Sarah Jane?" The woman looked at him, grinned and hugged him tight, "Doctor, you're here!" He smiled and looked into the lively eyes of his former companion, Sarah Jane Smith, investigative reporter and fellow time traveller. He could see that he could still control her if he chose but, right now, he preferred not to. He draped an arm around her and grinned, "Hello, my Sarah Jane." He said, his voice low and smooth. he saw her shudder in rememberance. She looked at the soldiers, "Put the guns away, this is the Doctor, UNIT's Scientific Advisor. He's expected."
The soldiers nodded, lowered their weapons and left the two alone together. Once they were gone, the Doctor smiled, swept Sarah into his arms and kissed her passionately. She melted against him, her arms going around his torso, pulling him closer. Finally, he lifted his mouth from hers. "God, how I have missed you, Doctor," Sarah Jane whispered. "I know, My Sarah, I've missed you too. I'm sorry I had to bring you home back then." She stepped back and looked at him. "You never came back." There were tears in her eyes and he pulled her closer. He really did love her in his way. "I'm sorry Sarah Jane but I simply could not take you to Gallifrey. They would have wiped your memories of me all away and sent you home. I couldn't risk that happening to you. I had to protect what we had shared together, I couldn't let them take that away from you, not you, my Sarah Jane." Sarah Jane cupped his cheek in her hand and nodded, "I understand that now but why didn't you ever...He silenced her with another kiss. Then, "I'm here now, my sweet Sarah." Then, he noticed her uniform. He stepped back, "You joined UNIT?" He asked. She smiled, "Yeah, I'm their new Public Relations Director." He broke into a wide grin, "Good for you, Sarah!" He picked her up in a hug and swung her around.
Just as he set her down, Brigadier Alastair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart came into the room. The Doctor's face lit up as he extended his hand, "Alastair! Good to see you again." The Brig looked him up and down then saw the TARDIS and nodded, "So, you've done it again, Doctor. Which one are you this time?" The Doctor smiled, "This is my Eighth incarnation, Brigadier, I've regenerated seven times, four since we last met.." The Brigadier nodded. "Well, fortunately, Doctor, things are relatively quiet at the moment so, I think Miss Smith would like to catch up so, why don't you take the rest of the day off, Sarah? Come back on Monday. Good to see you looking so well, Doctor." He nodded and left the lab.
Sarah Jane looked up at the Doctor and smile, "Do you need to secure the TARDIS?" She asked. He nodded, thinking about Grace inside and told Sarah, "I'll be back in a moment and no, I'm not leaving." With that he disappeared and returned after five minutes. He locked the TARDIS door and nodded, "There, that's done." He then extended his arm for Sarah and they headed out. Soon, they were at her home and she showed him inside. Once the door was closed, he had her in his arms, kissing her passionately. Sarah was never just sure when they ended up in her bed but she was revelling in the feeling of him making love to her again. She threw her head back and cried out in her passion as he entered her, his length going in as far as it could as she moaned. His hands were like silk against her skin. Her arms encircled his torso, pulling him against her as his mouth found hers. "God, how I missed you, my Doctor." She sighed as he pillowed her head on his chest, one hand playing with her hair. "I missed you too, Sarah Jane." He whispered in her ear. Then, the tip of his tongue ran lightly along the outside of her ear and she shivered. She then turned so she could look into those incredible blue eyes of his. "I'm just glad you came back. I didn't know if you were still alive or not. I was so worried about you." He smiled and brushed the hair back from her cheek, "My sweet Sarah Jane, you know me as few people do. If anything ever does happen to me, you'll know, deep inside, you'll know."
She looked at him, "I don't ever want to know, Doctor, I couldn't bear it if I lost you forever. I love you, you know that." "I know, Sarah Jane, I know and, in my way, I love you too but..." Sarah nodded, "I know, you can't stay long but just one thing, this time?" He looked at her, "Say it, Sarah." She raised herself up on one elbow to look full in his face. "Don't leave when I fall asleep." His eyebrows raised a little but he smiled. The times he had left her after she fell asleep. "Sarah Jane, I promise you, this time, I'll be here when you wake up now, rest my sweet girl," He kissed the top of her head, "Sleep safely, I'll stay with you this time." She snuggled against his chest and closed her eyes. Soon, she was asleep, her breathing normal and steady. As he lay there holding her against him, his mind went back to their first meeting when he was still in his Third incarnation. Then, then came Meteblis Three and those giant spiders.
The TARDIS had brought him back to UNIT, yes but, it had really brought him back to Sarah Jane. They hadn't been intimate then but, there was a union between them he had trouble describing. It wasn't physical but, it was as if their souls knew each other. He needed her in a way he didn't with Aluralu. Alura was the love of his lives but Sarah Jane was special. Then, he had regenerated into his Fourth self, all teeth and curls Sarah Jane dubbed him. He had smiled when she first called him that and their friendship had deepened. He respected her, her talent, her inquisitive nature and, of course, her beauty. The first time they had made love wasn't really their own doing. They had been visiting Yalearian Four in the Tresendk sector. The people were friendly and they had visited a local establishment for a meal. The owner had insisted on giving them some of the local delicacy called "Tresenadora" They had tried a little of it there and had taken the rest back to the TARDIS for later. It started with Sarah Jane, she was fanning her face and complaining about how hot it was in the TARDIS. He was surprised but had lowered the tempertature for her. Then, he began feeling strange and looking at her differently. Then. Sarah had become playful anf flirtatous with him. He had found himself responding and soon, there were locked in each others arms, thier lips roaming all over each others. Soon after, he had taken her to bed. They had made love like there was no tomorrow and afterwards, they lay side by side. They had remained lovers after that and he had been surprised that she had not pulled away from him. Their relationship had changed and strengthened because of everything they shared.
Then, he frowned, the call to Gallifrey had come. He knew what would happen if he had taken her with him. The Time Lords would have done to her what they had done to Jamie and Zoe, wipe their minds of their time with him and send them home to a point before they met him. He wasn't going to let them do that to his Sarah Jane so, he took her home, back to Earth with every intention of coming back for her but then, One thing had led to another. There had been Leela, Romana and others but Sarah Jane had always been in his hearts. Now, she was his again for however long he wanted to stay. Grace was a plaything, a pet but Sarah Jane was so much more than that. She had never done anything but believe in him. He kissed the top of her head again as she sleeply snuggled against him. "Sleep, Sarah, I'm not leaving you." He hoped she would agree to travel with him again. He'd have to do something with Grace but he already had ideas on what to do there. He settled and would wait for the morning. He smiled as he realized he could do anything he wanted with both women. How he loved having this power over women. He chuckled softly as he realized he could have both of them and not worry about it.
