The Doctor's Shadow-Revelation
Hello once again audience! I'm back with another chapter of the Doctor's Shadow! Last time, Emily and the Doctor battled Daleks on the Empire and saved the world! And now, something is about to be revealed that might flip Emily's and the Doctor's worlds upside down. Disclaimer?
10 and Lily: Sure! Atem4eva7 does not in ANY sort of way own Doctor Who. She only owns Emily Fudo and Lily Pegasus.
Me: On with the Chapter!
On the 102nd floor Observation Deck, Emily's POV
After the fight, The Doctor and I headed back to the TARDIS, arm in arm. I remarked, "Well, never thought I'd be fighting Daleks. Reminds me of the episode Daleks in Manhattan." The Doctor raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is that the show about me?" I nodded and the Doctor laughed. He then said, "Let's go back, Shall we?" I replied playfully, "We shall." A whoosing noise sounded overhead, making us look up. The Dalek's ship flew overhead, retreating to the stars. I said to the Doctor, "Do you think they will spread your message?" The Doctor replied, "They will. They know Earth is protected by me." I said, "And we appreciate it Doctor." He smiled and wrapped one of his arms around my waist, and we headed down the stairs.
On the Observation Deck with the TARDIS, Emily's POV
We got down the stairs, and Sam ran over to us. He exclaimed, "I saw you fight those robots! My teacher nearly saw it, but I distracted her." The Doctor put his hands on Sam's shoulders and said, "Thank you, Sam." I added, "Yeah, The Doctor and I would have been seen by everyone. Thank you." Sam grinned and then ran off, waving goodbye. I said to the Doctor, "So Spaceman. Back to the TARDIS?" The Doctor nodded and we ran side by side into the TARDIS. When we got in, the Doctor said to me, "I have to fix something in the TARDIS, it won't take long."
I nodded, and he went over to one of the consoles and fiddled with the switches. I sat on the Captain's chair, looking around the TARDIS. I remembered that the new Christmas special would feature Matt's new TARDIS and replace this one. "If Ten regenerates, will the TARDIS actually change?"The Doctor's voice broke through my thoughts asking, "Hey, Emily? Do you remember anything about your parents?" I looked over at the Doctor who was under one of the consoles, fixing some wiring.
I replied, "I do remember my mom having black hair and brown streaks, opposite mine. She was always happy around my dad, who traveled a lot. We lived in a small, but somehow comfortable home." The Doctor's eyes widened, and I giggled to myself, remembering the nickname I gave him when he did that. I then asked, "What's the matter, Doctor?" He turned away and replied, "Oh, it's nothing." The Doctor then got up from underneath the console and started to fly us back home.
At the Fudo residence, 3rd Person POV
Emily's backyard was empty, except for an old woman working in the garden. She had long white hair with silver streaks tied into a ponytail under a sun hat. She had the same icy blue eyes that Emily had, and she was wearing gardening clothes. In her hands were her tools, and she was about to plant some seeds when a familiar rasping noise sounded. She dropped the tools and turned around to see a very familiar 1950's police box come into view. She thought, "John Smith?!"
At the Fudo residence, Emily's POV
As soon as we landed, I ran over to the doors and opened them to come face to face with my Grandma. I shouted eagerly, "Grandma! You're home!" I ran over and hugged her. She said, "Oomph! Hello dear." The Doctor then walked out of the TARDIS. I explained to my Grandma, "This is my new friend The-" I was cut off as my Grandma stalked up to the Doctor and said, "I know you! You're the Doctor! What happened to your hair? Last time I saw you, you were blonde, and now it's all pointy."
The Doctor looked awkwardly at me and I said at this point, "Let's go inside and have Tea." They both nodded and we walked inside. Inside, the Doctor leaned against a wall while my Grandmother made Tea. I sat on one of the couches in the other room. My Grandmother then set down the Tea and walked over to the Doctor and slapped him, hard. The Doctor held his cheek where he was slapped and asked in a high pitched voice, "Owww... What was that for?!" I then ran to my room, not wanting to see the Doctor in pain.
3rd Person POV
The Doctor watched his companion run off, and her Grandmother said with venom, "That was for not bringing my daughter back." The Doctor looked at Emily's Grandmother and asked, "What was your daughter's name?" She replied, "Katherine Marie Fudo." Katherine Fudo. The name hit the Doctor so hard, as he remembered the beautiful woman with those ice-colored eyes, the love of his life. He sat down in utter shock and said weakly, "I-I loved Katie..." Emily's Grandmother nodded and replied, "My daughter met a man named John Smith when he showed up here about fifteen years ago. He fell in love with her, and they ran away to see the stars together."
The Doctor said, "Y-Yes, I took her to see the stars. She loved it so much." The Grandmother continued, "Then, twelve years ago, John Smith came back in the same blue box with Emily in his arms. He said that something bad happened to Katherine, and that he couldn't take care of Emily anymore." "I then raised her, without her knowing you, Doctor." He swallowed and replied, "D-Does she have two hearts?" Emily's Grandmother nodded and he stood up and called to his companion, "E-Emily? Can you come here please?"
Emily's POV
I sat on my bed, looking at the Doctor Who posters on my wall when the Doctor called out, "Emily? Can you come here please?" I got off my bed and wandered out to the kitchen. The Doctor was shaking and my Grandmother had a tear running down her cheek. The Doctor pulled out his stethoscope and said, "Emily, I'm not going to hurt you, I just need to see something." I nodded, confused and walked over to the Doctor. He placed the stethoscope shakily on my chest and I heard my heart thump. He then moved the stethoscope to my other side, and another heartbeat sounded. "Wait, I'm a Time Lord?! The Doctor gasped at my heartbeats and started crying.
I asked, "What's the matter, Doctor?" The only time I've seen Ten cry was when he couldn't tell Rose that he loved her. The Doctor pulled me into his chest and hugged me tightly. He murmured, "This might be hard to swallow, but I'm your father, Emily." "Wait, Dad?! Holy TARDIS of Gallifrey and David Tennant, my dad's the Doctor?!" I thought, stunned. The Doctor then asked Grandma, "Could I speak to her alone?" My Grandmother nodded and walked out of the room. We then sat on the couch that we first met on, and he said, "I met your mother fifteen years ago when I accidentally fell into this dimension. I fell in love with her, and she loved me." I asked the Doctor, "What was my mother like?" He replied sadly, " A beautiful woman who was an astronomer. She was kind and very smart." I asked, "What happened then?" The Doctor said, "Katie got pregnant while on the TARDIS... It was the happiest moment of my life. And then she gave birth to Emily Rose Fudo, you."
The Doctor continued, "Your mother and I took you on some of our adventures in the stars, and the first thing you saw was Earth from space." I nodded slowly, taking it all in. The Doctor continued, "But, a race called the Sontorans invaded Earth, killing nearly a third of the human race. Y-Your mother d-died saving Earth. I was devastated, so I took you here because I couldn't raise you."
I swallowed and thought, "So my mom died saving Earth from Strax's race? And here I thought Strax was the coolest potato head around." I said to the Doctor, "Doctor, when we first met, how come you didn't remember me?"
He thought for a moment and replied, "I think, somewhere in my mind, I did. Being nine hundred years old really buries a lot of memories." I replied, "Daddy. I missed you." The Doctor smiled and pulled me on his lap and wrapped his arms around my body and buried his face in my hair. He said into my hair, "I missed you too, my Shadow." I looked up at my father and asked, "Why Shadow?" The Doctor replied, "Your Gallifreyean name translates into Shadow." I smiled and my Grandmother walked in the room.
My Grandmother said, " I can see that you two understand your situation now." I nodded, and the Doctor replied, "Yes, Angie." Grandma smiled and murmured, "You never forgot me, Doctor." He nodded and said with joy, "Thank you, Angie Caroline Fudo. For reuniting me with the joy in my life and raising her for all these years." Grandma replied tearing up, "It was my pleasure, Doctor." I yawned, realizing it was almost eleven at night. The Doctor smiled and picked me up like he did when I was a baby and carried me into my room. He then set me down on my bed and tucked me into bed, which was odd, since I was old enough not to be tucked in. The Doctor then bent down and kissed my forehead and said, "Goodnight, Emily Rose Fudo. I love you."
I smiled sleepily up at my father and replied, "I love you too, Daddy." The Doctor then turned off the light and walked out of the room, and I drifted off to sleep, dreaming of Dad's adventures.
3rd Person POV
The Doctor walked out of his daughter's room, filled with sheer joy that he wasn't the only Time Lord left. A wave of protectiveness also passed over the Doctor, making him determined to not let anyone hurt his young girl. He wandered into the kitchen where Angie was sitting at the table. The Doctor sat on a chair on the opposite end of the table. Angie spoke up, "What are you going to do now, Doctor?"
The Doctor replied, "I'm taking Emily with me. She can hold her own against Daleks, and she's all I have left of my wife, Katie..." Angie sternly replied, "If you even hurt her Doctor, I will build my own TARDIS and chase you down in it." The Doctor laughed and replied, "I'll protect her with every one of my regenerations and every fiber of my very being." The Oncoming Storm burned in his brown gaze, letting Angie know that he meant every word he said.
Angie nodded reluctantly and said, "Fine. Just so long as you bring her back for school."
The Doctor nodded and replied, "I will." He then went to sleep on the couch outside Emily's room, and Angie went off to her room.
The Next Day, At the Fudo residence, Emily's POV
I woke up, remembering what the Doctor had revealed to me last night, that I was his daughter. "He's really real. Not on BBC America, but really in the flesh." I thought. I remembered all those times wishing that Doctor Who was real, and my wish came true. I got dressed and walked out of my room to find the Doctor on the couch outside, still sleeping. I giggled at how cute he looked sleeping with one arm around a pillow and a small smile on his face. I walked over and said, "Wake up sleepy head." I poked him on his cheek, and he stirred and woke up, smiling.
The Doctor replied, "Good Morning." He then gave me another tight hug, and we walked into the kitchen hand in hand. Grandma was there, crying slightly as she made breakfast for us. I walked over to my Grandma while the Doctor sat at the table. I hugged her and said, "This isn't goodbye. You know how the Doctor hates endings." She nodded and replied, "Yeah. Angels in Manhattan proved that." Grandma then gave the Doctor and I breakfast.
"Wonder what I'm going to tell Lily. Hey Lily, I'm a Time Lord? No, that's rubbish."I thought. I looked at the Doctor and smiled, and he smiled the widest smile I've ever seen on his face.
Me: That's all folks! Yes, she is indeed the Doctor's daughter. As to how he ended up meeting Katie, think of what happened before Ten, Rose and Mickey land in Pete's World.
10: Next time, the Doctor and Emily go off again in the TARDIS for another adventure! We might find a certain someone again...
Lily: Me?
Me and 10: Shush! Spoilers!
Lily: Anyways...
Me, 10, and Lily: Read and Review! Flames will be laughed at!
