Chapter Ten; The Abduction

Joshua John (JJ) Harkness was six years old, and he recently became a big brother to a three month baby girl named Susan (Susie) Jessica Harkness. She was a tiny little baby with a head full of black hair. Jack and Sarah had adopted her from China and gave her an American name. Mickey and Martha had come over to see the new baby.

Although from what they could tell, Joshua loved his new little sister very much but he didn't socialize with her very much since they found out at an early age he was autistic. Susie started falling asleep while she sucked on her bottle that her father was feeding her. "I can't get over how adorable she is." Martha said while Joshua started sticking his gigantic Lego blocks together.

"I know, now our family is complete." Sarah Jane said happily.

"Yeah that's what The Doctor and Rose thought, but from what Rose told me she's onto baby number four." Mickey said as Martha glanced over at him.

"Really? Boy those two can't keep their hands off one another." Jack said when finally Martha stood up and walked away.

"What's up with her?" Mickey questioned.

"Well if I were to make a guess I'd say that she's jealous." Jack said while he continued to feed his daughter.

"Jealous? Of what?" Mickey asked him.

"Well Rose already has three children and she's about to have another baby, Sarah and I have two, and you guys aren't even married yet after six years." He explained.

"Do you think that she thinks that I'm taking her for granted?" Mickey asked him.

"The only way to find out is go talk to her yourself." He said as Mickey nodded before he stood up and walked out into the backyard where Martha had been squatting down and petting Joy as she purred and rubbed up against her.

"Are you alright?" he asked her.

"What do you think?" she asked him back.

"Look Martha I'm sorry, it's not that I don't love you, I'm just not sure if settling down and having a family is something that I'm ready for." He told her before she stood up and glared at him crossly.

"That's enough! I've had it with your excuses! What The Doctor and Rose have for each other you could never feel for me. I've seen the way that they look at each other, it's obvious that they're in love and not afraid to show it." She said.

"Well, I'm not either." He told her.

"Yes you are! You only kiss me and tell me that you love me in private." She said.

"Look I'm sorry if I'm not a snogging expert, or if when we do go out not once somebody has told us don't even bother getting a room because we just called the hospital and made a reservation for the delivery one!" he cried when suddenly she let out a laugh.

"What?" she asked. "Has somebody actually told them that before?" she questioned.

"Yeah, every time I'm with them they do." He said stifling a laugh. "Look I really am sorry if I made you feel like that." He apologized. "I guess I'm just not that much of a romantic person." He admitted with a shrug. "So will you give me another chance?" he asked her as she simply just looked at him. "Please?" he pleaded as she stepped closer to him and smiled at him while she gazed inside his eyes.

"Only because I just love seeing you beg." She answered before the two of them closed their eyes and placed their arms around each other's necks and sealing it with a deep and passionate kiss.

Meanwhile The Doctor and Rose had just stepped outside the log cabin. "Rose, hold on for a second." He began. "Did you mean what you said back there?" he asked her as she hurried towards the woods.

"What difference does it make, you don't want another one anyway." She told him as he chased after her.

"Whoa, hold on for a second stop!" he told her as he quickly rushed in front of her. "Now listen you completely misunderstood me. I just meant that I wasn't planning on having another one." He said.

"Yeah well neither was I, I guess that's just how life goes." She told him as she turned her head away from him.

"Rose," he began as he placed his finger under her chin and turned her head over towards her. "Do you honestly believe that I wouldn't love the child just because we weren't planning on having it?" he asked her as he grabbed a strand of hair from her face and tucked it behind her ear.

"No. I know you would, I just wasn't sure if you'd be happy." She told him as he smiled at her lovingly and tilted her face towards him and kissed her forehead. "Right now I'm the happiest person in the world." He told her before resting his hand upon her cheek and leaning into kiss her. They both closed their eyes and leaned forward before exchanging quick and tender kisses on the lips before slowly pulling away.

That's when suddenly somebody lunged out of the bushes and grabbed her. "There she is!" An ugly old pirate exclaimed.

"Just like Calypso said she would be!" Another one cried.

"What are you doing!? Let her go now!" The Doctor yelled as he instinctively pulled out his sonic screwdriver and pointed it at them even though he realized that it wouldn't do him any good. "That's my wife!" he shouted angrily as Rose began to scream while she struggled to get away.

"Don't worry, we won't harm her just as long as she cooperates." The pirate told him with a sly grin as the glint of gold sparkled inside his teeth.

"Give her back to me,.." The Doctor began. 'NOW!" he hollered on the top of his lungs.

"We will as soon as we're done with her." The pirate said.

"Why? What could you possibly want with me?" Rose asked him.

"Calypso the sea goddess spoke of a blonde haired woman who traveled with a man who flew in a little blue box." He responded.

"How do you know that's her?" The Doctor asked him coldly.

"Because we followed you here." He responded before placing his hand over her mouth. "C'mon you're coming with us, word is that you can see the future." He told her as he started dragging her back into the woods while she still struggled to get away.

Ooh, a bit of a cliffhanger! By the way, I forgot to mention that I named Katie's baby after a friend of mine, at least her middle name that is. Love you if you're reading this Courtney!
