Hello again, sorry for the long wait and the short chapter. I was working on finishing my crossover fic and with the epilogue to that in the beta-ing stage I am now free to finish this one, yay! I had serious writers block and with it being so long since I've wrote anything on this I had to go back and re-read everything. but here we are, I know it's shorter than usual but at least it's something, enjoy xoxo
recap: River and the Doctor are living on earth, they are married and have a baby called Rory(Jr) they live next door to Hillary and Martha along with Martha's child Rachelle. Captain Jack Harkness and Mickey(Married to Martha) came in and then Jack tells the doctor they might have another empty child problem on their hands, cue this chapter.
Disclaimer: Nothing you recognise is mine. Sadly.
Nanogenes
"Oh no jack, how could you have done that AGAIN!?" The Doctor shouted
"I don't mean to, honest, I had no intention of landing it on earth, my aim was o get rid of it but then I may have sort of crash landed on earth, It's just luck that you're here!" jack replied sheepishly
"Will someone explain to me what is going on?"
"Jack's gone and crash landed a ship of nanogenes on earth… again."
"Again?" River asked
"Yep"
"Oh dear." River said "But maybe it won't mean anything bad, if the nanogenes find a healthy human first it'll know what they look like and then won't be any danger"
"For humans." The Doctor said, "But for time lords!"
"Oh… RORY!" River realised that if there were nanogenes floating round thinking everyone should look like a human it'll attack her and her family because all three of them had two hearts.
"Exactly!"
"Well how do we stop it?"
"Well if you think about it you won't have to… If Rory gets changed the nanogenes have you as their DNA template."
"Huh… that's true, good thinking Jack."
But just as they settled down, lulling themselves into a false sense of security a body that had been run over had been fixed by the nanogenes. It had a basically human shape but it had a giant hole in its side with its guts missing.
"Are you my mummy?" It said
"Ah crap!" Jack cursed
"I was just thinking that" The doctor agreed
"Wait! What if you let it change Rory then you hug him, the nanogenes will recognise the DNA then fix it."
"I'm not willing to take that chance!" River said, she grabbed Rory and ran upstairs. The Doctor ran up after her with a big goofy grin on his face.
"What are you doing?"
"SOMETHING!" The Doctor said excitedly
"What do you mean?"
"We're finally doing something!" He said, he leaned over and kissed Jack, "Thank you, Jack, I finally get to do something!" with that he ran upstairs and into the TARDIS.
"This is the TARDIS?!" Rory asked in his own little language that his parents shouldn't have been able to understand.
"Yes it is, baby." River said, she picked him up and set him down in a cot, the same one the Doctor had given Amy when she had River/Melody.
"Where are we going?" the Doctor asked
"Away from here!" River told him
"What we can't just leave it!"
"We can't risk leaving Rory there!" River said, a panicked expression on her face, the Doctor didn't want to get Rory into anything either, but he also didn't want to leave the world in ruins.
"River." The Doctor said, determinedly "Take us back to earth, you stay in here with Rory, I'll find a way to stop it." He walked over to the controls.
"Oh no you don't!" River said, pulling him away from the control board, "How do you think I would cope if you never came back?"
"I think Parenthood has changed you honey."
"Oh please."
"I'm serious!" River told him sternly
"So am I!"
"Which is why I'm worried."
"Oh, shut up sweetie." She replied in her usual tone of voice
"Ah, there's the River I know!"
"Maybe you're right, maybe parenthood has changed me!" River admitted, taken aback.
"You're still in there, honey. You know we have to help them."
"Oh, you and your love for humans."
"Hey, if I didn't choose earth to protect you wouldn't be here!"
"What's going on Daddy?" Rory called in baby language from his cot
"Mummy and Daddy are just trying to fix something, Rory, go to sleep." They waited until Rory's breathing had slowed so they knew he was asleep
"Come on!" The Doctor said, "I can't go anywhere and be calm knowing that thing is there!"
"Fine." River agreed "But Rory stays in here."
"With who?"
"Umm. We'll sort that out later."
"Okay then, Geronimo!"
They set the TARDIS to go back to earth and prepared to stop the nanogenes from attempting to create a new form of humans, again.
