A/N okay so I'm going to be skipping forward in Lily's time-stream a bit, I figure it would get a bit boring if I just wrote their day to day life so this chapter jumps forward a couple of years.

Chapter song: Some Nights by Fun.


After her second birthday Madame Kovarian came again this time she took Lily for what she called, "Lessons" and Rose took this meaning that she was trying to brainwash her, so as soon as Lily came back each day she would tell her stories of her father, telling them in such a way that there could be no doubt that she was talking about him as he was, and so far Rose seemed to be winning.

Lily was still advancing at an alarming rate, by the time she was three she could read and write, though she still preferred that Rose tell her stories, Rose was dreading the day that Kovarian decided not to bring Lily back after her lessons, Lily was now four, it had been more than four years since Kovarian had taken her and forced her to give birth, and Kovarian was still letting her stay.

Rose sat down in her rocking chair while Lily sat on the floor playing with her dolls, Rose smiled, looking down at her as she flew the blue box around her making sounds with her mouth, today it seemed that she was taking the TARDIS to earth, to visit her gran. That's one thing that Rose really regretted, was that Lily would never get to meet her gran, not as much as her not meeting her father, but a lot.

"Mummy! Mummy!" Lily cried walking clumsily to the window that overlooked the large hangar, "Mummy look!" she said and Rose got up and went over to her daughter, she looked outside and saw a large ship fly into the hangar, "It's so big mummy! What do you think they keep in it?" she asked.

Rose ruffled Lily's hair affectionately, "I don't know sweetheart, it could be all sorts of things, it could be people or it could be food, ar anything really." Rose said, Lily grinned at her, "Could it be toys mummy?" she asked, "Course it could sweetheart it could be anything." Lily beamed at her and went back to watching the ship outside the window. Rose wrinkled her brow when she saw what looked like a big white casket roll out of the ship, it was the size of a person easily, and off to the side Kovarian watched with a cruel smile as the carried it up the stairs.

The Rose watched as Miranda was guided up the stairs after her, before she got there Kovarian grabbed her arm and said something, Rose couldn't tell what, but she looked angry as she pulled away from Kovarian and stalked up the stairs.

Rose felt a chill, and she touched Lily's shoulder and guided her back to her toys, not wanting her daughter to see something that might scare her.

She sat down with her and told her another story using the dolls for props, this time she was telling the story of the Slitheen in downing street. Lily hung on every word, that is until the door opened and Miranda came in her face grim. Rose had just finished the story and Lily got up, ran over and hugged Miranda happily, "Hey kid." she said smiling, then she looked over at Rose, and Rose had a feeling that she was going to tell her what had happened with the casket.

"Hey Rose." she said her voice slightly more grim than when she was talking to Lily.

Rose smiled at Lily and told her to go play. She went over and sat at one of the chairs that were sitting by a small table, "What's up?" rose asked Miranda, "something happened today."

"is it about that white casket Kovarian had?" Miranda nodded and looked Rose in the eye, "She took one of the Doctor's companions. And replaced her with the flesh" Miranda informed her, Rose gasped, "why?" she asked.

Miranda gave a bitter smile, "because she conceived a child with her husband while in the time vortex, it's because, Kovarian's going to try and make that child into a weapon as well as Lily, the difference is she's not going to let the mother even know she's going to have a baby, and then she's going to take the baby immediately," Miranda seemed haunted. "of course the flesh is going to give him some clues, chances are he could come and save her, but Kovarian isn't even going to let the mother hold her real child, much less, give the Doctor a chance to save it." Rose felt tears flow down her cheeks for tat poor woman.

Rose looked up at Miranda, "why is she doing this? What has the Doctor done to these people, to make them hat him enough to turn children into weapons?" she asked. Miranda shook her head, "I wish I knew Rose I wish I knew." Miranda looked down at her watch then she looked back up at Rose, "I have to go now, but I'll come back as soon as I can. Okay?" Rose nodded and Miranda got up and left.

Rose wiped her eyes and went over scooping Lily up in the tightest hug she could without hurting her, thankful that they hadn't done to her what they were doing to the other woman, she didn't even know her name, but she felt for her. Rose watched as the ship that had brought the white casket holding the Doctor's companion flew out and she let go of Lily sitting down to play with Lily, sad that the next child born here would not have this luxury.
