Chapter ten! I'm not sure why but this is a big deal for me...Sort of a half filler...Hopefully it'll raise some questions. R&R tell me what you think! What you like/hate/ would add/change...anything!

I do not own Doctor Who!

The Doctor jerked awake as Gwyneth's wails of despair filled the Tardis.

"I'm coming! Coming!" He scrabbled upright and lurched to the control room.

The Ponds were already there, blinking sleep from their eyes and looking around in confusion. The universe was back, the small projection of the universe. Except instead of the host of planets and constellations there was only a small handful of stars, a tiny black ship, and a strange arching light. The Doctor fumbled into them, looking sharply around as Gwynny's sobs continued to echo off the walls. The Tardis dinged her relief as they arrived.

"Doctor whats going on? What...are you wearing?" Amy frowned, trailing her eyes down to his feet. The Doctor followed her gaze, still panting lightly from shock.

"It's a onesie. I wear onesies. They're cool!" the Doctor defended, reaching up and fiddling with the zipper.

"They're really not." Amy mumbled.

"Batman?" Rory asked, looking at the logo splayed across the time lord's chest. The Doctor groaned and sighed in impatience.

"More important things right now! What's happened?"

"How should we know?! We just got here." Amy scowled at him, her hair in disarray around her head. Rory just stood behind her, looking tired. The Doctor huffed at her ignorance, muttering a scathing "Honestly Pond." and dove through the lights to his daughter's side. She remained in the bassinet on the jump seat, under the watchful 'eyes' of the Tardis.

The tiny black ship hovered above her flushed face, green light noodling out of it. She tossed, flailing tiny fists and arching her back angrily. The Doctor's hands hovered over her, his eyes darting around at the apparition that surrounded him. Grinding his teeth anxiously, he turned back to the Ponds.

"What do I do?"

Rory groaned and Amy glared indignantly.

"How should we know?"

"You had a child!" The Doctor exclaimed wildly gesturing between the ginger and the infant.

"For like a week!" Amy countered, hiding her pang of hurt behind scathing Scottish fury.

"Not even." Rory grumbled, his eyes filled with sadness.

"You know, right now Pond a few days experience is better then 900 years!" The Doctor's voice was rising in alarm, oblivious to his companions pain. His hands hovered over Gwyn again, touching her hair briefly and moaning in dismay. "What do I do?"

"Oh! Hold her!" Amy snapped at last, turning to return to bed.

"Right. Yes. Hold her, I can do that..." He clapped his hands over his ears, staring down at his daughter.

"Good luck." Rory muttered following his wife. The Doctor wasn't listening. Scraping together every ounce of his courage and his hands dove into the bassinet, scooping his daughter into his arms.

"Shh..." he soothed, rocking her gently, his entire being focused on the tiny person in his arms. So focused he didn't notice as the green light receded with a flash of gold and the ship was left sitting untouched. At this Gwyn quieted her curling shrieks fading into a tired frown. The Doctor held her close, whispering soothingly next to her ear, her fingers twining into the hair at the nape of his neck. Golden light exhaling against his shoulder.

The Doctor closed his eyes in contentment, sitting on the jump seat and curling himself around her. And they dozed off together for the two hours left until the Tardis woke him at 2:00am to whisk him away on another adventure, unlike any other before it.

BREAK

"Where is she?" It hissed, raking broken nails down the wall.

The shadow at it's side pressed buttons hurriedly, following the trace of energy, and staring with his master at the empty platform.

"She has...been displaced."

It gave a great growl of rage smacking it's fist into the computer console the entire ship shuddering in response.

"HOW?"

"There...was interference..."

"What interference?"

"I don't know... it...was a foreign energy I couldn't-"

"WHERE IS SHE?!" It grasped him by the collar, hauling him up to stare it in the bloodshot eyes.
