Here's the long awaited for chapter, including me. And sorry it's been a while, it seems like now that summer's here I haven't had any time at all to write, but I'm trying, trust me I am determined to get this finished.

Disclaimer: I don't own Doctor Who it all belongs to BBC, I'm just twisting the characters a little and making them do whatever I wish.

Chapter 9: The Sit Down

The Doctor and Rose walked back out to the console room after they had a lengthy conversation of what they were going to tell Kali, deciding that some things that she didn't need to know yet, sorting out the most important to the least.

The Doctor was hoping Kali wouldn't have too many questions but Rose had said that she would have, after all Kali didn't even know his name until a few days ago. He wouldn't admit it but he was extremely nervous about what was going to happen. What if Kali rejected him? He didn't think he could live with himself if he ever lost her or Rose for that matter.

Kali, Jack, and Martha were sitting on the floor laughing at a joke that Jack had just told, though Kali was more laying than sitting because she was laughing so hard, and holding on to her sides. The Doctor cleared his throat, and it took a few minutes but eventually they were all sober enough to pay attention.

"Kali can you come with us, we would like to talk to you." A strange feeling of happiness mixed with nervousness swept over her as she nodded and tried to stand up. Tried being the operative word, for as soon as she put some weight on her leg with her bad knee she gasped in pain and then crumpled to the floor. Everyone gathered around her in an instant, Rose kneeling down in front of her.

"Kali, honey? Are you all right?" She asked with concern in her voice.

"I'm fine. I guess I just forgot I shouldn't be putting pressure on my leg." She gave a little giggle at the end, felling a little claustrophobic with everyone crowded around her.

The Doctor gestured for them all to stand back as he helped Kali up on her feet. He started to lead her out of the room, Rose right behind them. They walked down a maze of rooms until they came to a stop in front of a very elegant looking door. It had an intricate pattern of swirls carved into it that were colored gold. Kali had a strange feeling that they were familiar but then again don't all swirls look mostly the same, so she shrugged it off.

They all stepped inside and Kali was amazed at the sight of all the books that surrounded her. It was obviously a library. There were those ladders that had wheels on them so you could move back and fourth between the books and plush chairs all around. There was a big diamond chandeliers hanging and more swirly patterns on the walls. It was the biggest library she had ever been in.

Rose and the Doctor walked forward over to some overly large bean bag chairs and sat down into them, after a moment of hesitation Kali did too. The chairs were very comfortable so she sunk into it a little more and sighed contently. She looked at her parents to see them both looking at her with smiles on their faces.

"What?" She asked.

"Nothin'." Her mother replied.

"Sooooo," Kali started, dragging out the word. "What are we talkin' about?" She already knew but still she wanted confirmation. The Doctor raked his hand through his hair.

"Well we want to get everything out and the open." He said. "Starting with me. I'm a Time Lord."

"Doctor!" Rose said sharply.

"What? There was really no other way to tell her besides coming out and saying it and you know it." He defended himself.

"I'm guessing that's not human right?" Kali asked.

"Correct, I'm not."

"And that was why mum asked if I believed in aliens, because you're an alien." It was a statement, not a question.

"Yes." A wave of relief fell over her, at least he was being honest. "I'm the last of the Time Lords too, well besides you." He elaborated.

"What happened?" A sad look crossed over the Doctor's features and Kali instantly regretted saying anything and quickly backtracked. "I mean if it's too much then..." She trailed off. The Doctor licked his lips and felt his throat tighten up thinking about his home planet.

"No you have a right, technically it's partly your planet too. Its just bad things happened and it was a bad day for me and I don't really know where to start." He explained.

"Well how about the name. What was it called?" Kali suggested.

"Gallifrey." He said in barely a whisper.

"So that's where my middle name comes from." Kali shouted in recognition.

"Yes it is." Rose said, while smiling at her daughter and she grinned in return. The Doctor coughed and both girls turned to him.

"Anyway as I said bad things happened and Gallifrey is no longer." And then he continued into telling Kali all that had happened in the Time War with the Daleks and of what he had to do, making him be the last Time Lord left.

Kali was silent throughout the entire explanation, she even cried a little at certain things. When the Doctor had finished she accepted it all, he told her exactly what it was he did, but she didn't blame him, no, rather she thought it was brave of him. He had sacrificed everything that was important to him at the time in order to stop the Daleks from gaining control of the universe.

"That was right before I met him." Rose stated once all had gone quiet.

"Helped me deal with it without even realizing it. She changed me for the better. To be honest I would be a complete and utter mess if it hadn't been for her." Kali gazed between her parents who were looking at each other, love shining between them. A smile crept up on her face, happy to finally see her mother with the man she loved. Then a sudden question came to her mind—she knew that her dad was a Time Lord, but what exactly was a Time Lord?

Rose and the Doctor both turned to look at her and she realized that she accidentally spoke aloud without meaning to. She also felt bad about ruining her parents' moment.

The Doctor scratched the back of his neck before answering. "Well it's a little hard to explain what a Time Lord is, but I can give you some facts, like for starters, as you know, we have two hearts." Kali nodded. "We have regeneration..." And then he went on explaining that to her, along with a whole bunch of other stuff, like how he has the TARDIS and what she does, ect.

Kali listened enthusiastically and absorbed every detail that he was giving her. She had laughed out loud when Rose cut in to tell her how he had never actually passed his test to fly the TARDIS. She was happy though, that she was learning things about where she came from, about a world that she never knew could ever exist. To her it felt like a dream, that her; plain, ordinary, nobody Kali had this whole part of her that was totally the opposite. Of course, she could never tell anybody about it, but at least she knew it was true and that was enough for her.

The Doctor had finished his explanation about an hour later and everything had became silent, much like before, until a slight grumble sounded, which caused all three of them to laugh.

"I guess I'm a little hungry after today's events." Kali said when she stopped laughing.

"Well then, lets go to the kitchen and find something to eat, I bet Martha and Jack will want to eat too, so Rose you take her on ahead and I'll go get them." With that he stood up and bounded out of the room, a smile plastered on his face. Rose laughed at his childishness and turned to Kali.

"Come on if we hurry we can beat them." Kali nodded and stood up followed by her mother as they made their way to the TARDIS' kitchen.

"So what do you think?" Rose asked as they were walking down a corridor.

"Of what?" Rose nudged her as Kali smiled innocently.

"Of your father." She clarified.

"He's great, better than I could have ever wished for, even if he is an alien." She answered honestly and chuckled a little.

"Okay, so answer me this; what do you think of Jack?"

The Doctor made his way into the console room where Martha and Jack were still sitting of the floor talking. They both looked up at the sound of him approaching.

"Having fun." He asked them and they shrugged. "Well I just wanted to tell you that me, Rose and Kali are getting something to eat and wanted to know if you guys wanted to join us."

"Sure." Jack replied.

"Martha?"

"I'm going to pass, I'm pretty tired and I'm just going to head to bed." She said while standing up.

"Okay then I guess I'll see you in the morning." The Doctor said and she only nodded and then left the room and disappeared down the corridor.

"That was a bit odd." He commented as Jack joined him and they started toward the kitchen. "She's been acting weird since Rose and Kali showed up.

"Hmm, well I know that I wouldn't pass a chance at dinner with Rose and that pretty daughter of her." The Doctor's jaw clenched.

"Jack just don't." The Doctor warned him.

"Don't what?"

"You know what. I know you Jack, and no offense but you get together with someone and then as soon as someone better comes into the picture the other person is left in the dust because you simply don't care, even if you break their heart. But that isn't going to happen with Kali, you got it. I will not allow it." Jack was stunned that he would say something like that to him, okay not really because this was the Doctor, but still why was he acting like this. Was it because Kali was Roses daughter?

"Okay Doctor, sorry. She's Roses daughter I get that, but I was just thinking, what if Rose said it was alright then would you back off?" He asked.

"Maybe, but most likely not." The Doctor replied

"And why is that?"

"Jack," The Doctor sighed, "do you remember when you asked who Kali's father was and I was about to answer but then there was the scream..." He trailed off.

"Ya. What does that have to do with this?"

"Everything because Kali is my daughter."

Ooh a double cliff hanger, sort of. Even I'm anxious to know how this turns out lol. I'm just glad that I've finally been able to finish this. And I believe this id the longest chapter so far. I am hoping, if everything goes to plan, that I'll be able to update in two days on the first, because that's my birthday and I hope that people will leave me alone and let me write, but no guarantee's so cross your fingers.

Also you have to review to get that next chapter, so please hit that button and give me your thoughts.

Oh and before I forget there is a poll on my profile that would be helpful to this story if you could take a moment to answer it. Thanks.
