Sitting on one of the worn seats by the control panel, the Doctor held Gabriel in his lap. The baby was awake, and quiet. Slate grey eyes that hadn't yet developed their colour stared up at him.
Twenty four hours ago, it had been just him. The lonely traveller, journeying through time and space, getting himself into all kinds of trouble and adventures. Now, he had lost a companion that he had barely gotten to know, and he was a father again. He had turned his back on another species, and seen a planet destroyed, along with them.
All within twenty four hours.
A father again. It was life changing, and it wasn't something that would leave him. Here in his arms he held a part of him, and he wasn't going to lose him like he'd lost everyone else. Missy hadn't died in vain.
"Guess it's just you and me, huh Gabriel?" He asked softly. "Just you and me, for the rest of our time. Sound good?"
The baby closed his eyes, drifting off back into a contented sleep. A smile tugged at the Doctor's mouth.
"Sounds good to me too."
A/N: IT IS FINISHED. :D I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it. But what's this? Things unanswered? FEAR NOT FRIENDS! More stories to come! The next one is The Traveller, which I'll put up in the next few days. xD Yeah I've had it finished for a while. It may be a one shot, or I'll split it into two chapters. THANK YOU FOR READING!
