The Doctor and Rose had taken a three year old Jamie to meet Roald Dahl in 1965. The toddler was beside himself at being face to face with his favourite author. At this point, the man had just completed Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, so the Doctor had arranged to get Jamie a brand new copy, signed by the famous author.
When they had finished with their meeting, the little family decided to go for a walk, but with the young Time Lord so distracted with his new book, he had wandered away from his parents. None of them had noticed for some time, so when Jamie finally started to panic and sent a telepathic plea to his parents, it would take some time for them to get back to him.
"Wha?" gasped a tall man in a black leather jacket and dark jeans. He knelt down in front of Jamie and looked at him confusedly. "Who are you?" he asked.
"Jamie," the freckle-faced toddler replied shyly. "My mum and dad know where I am, so don't even think about trying to kidnap me or anything!"
The man in front of him chuckled at the youngster's bravery, then asked, "Who are your parents? I can tell you're a Time Lord, but there shouldn't be any more Time Lords."
"My daddy is the Doctor," Jamie said proudly and stood a little taller. He knew that his father was famous enough for his name to mean something. "We came to meet Roald Dahl. I'm a fanatic about his books and daddy got me a brand new one with Mr. Dahl's signature inside," he began to babble.
The man in front of Jamie was looking at the toddler in awe. "How...? Who's your mum?" the man asked urgently.
"Rose Tyler. Hey, can I feel you?" Jamie asked suddenly and put a hand to his head.
"Yeah. Yeah, you can," the man told him, his eyes a little glassy.
"Why is that? I can usually only feel mummy and daddy," Jamie wondered.
"I'm the Doctor," he replied and took Jamie's hand in his. "Let's go find your mum and dad, alright?"
"Mummy told me that daddy used to look different. Are you really my daddy?" Jamie asked him, but allowed him to lead him in the direction where he felt his parents approaching.
"Yes, Jamie, I really am. In fact, if we aren't careful, you might just bump into your mum a bit too early," the Doctor replied with a smirk.
"Jamie!" Rose's voice called through the crowd.
"I'm here, mummy!" Jamie shouted back to her.
"Oh, there you are, sweetheart! We were so worried," Rose told him as she wrapped the little boy in her arms and lifted him off the ground to thank the adult that had been watching over her son to find herself face to face with a very familiar set of ice blue eyes. "Doctor!" she gasped.
