The Doctor wandered into Torchwood just before dawn. The TARDIS had disappeared again but this time the Doctor didn't really care. He couldn't believe what he had just done. He had just spent the night with Donna Noble and not in the best mate kind of way. That wasn't even the worse part. He had snuck out like a thief in the night under cover of darkness while she snored away…and it was such a cute little snore.
As he walked back to Torchwood his mind continued to flash black to the adventures he had shared with Donna looking for any clue to the feelings he had for her now but there were none. They simply weren't there. He didn't love Donna Noble, at least not in any romantic way. Yes, she was the best friend he ever had but there were never any romantic feelings between them, and it was mutual.
Until now.
Until he saw her sitting at the pub sadly staring at her glass. Or was it before that? Was it when he saw her walking down the street with Aggie? Or lying on the bed after he had taken away her memories. No, the Doctor realized it was before that. He realized he fell in love Donna the exact moment Donna forgot who he was. The moment he made Donna forget who he was.
For just one moment he had allowed himself to believe he could have a life with her. He let himself pretend that they could be together and now he had to pay for that lie. He was alone and he would always be alone.
The Doctor jumped startled when Aggie came running towards him the moment he entered Torchwood, "I didn't say anything, I swear."
"She didn't." Martha agreed, "Jack figured it out himself."
The Doctor sighed, "So you know?"
"That this young lady is Donna Noble's daughter." Jack giggled almost like a prepubesant girl, "Oh yeah."
When the Doctor didn't respond Martha got worried so she decided to change the subject, "Did you find the TARDIS?"
"No." The Doctor said not really caring.
This worried everyone in the room. Something was seriously wrong and everyone knew it. The Doctor wasn't acting normal or at least normal for him. This was bad, very bad.
"Maybe I can set something up using…." Martha began just as there was an explosion.
"Who the hell forgot to cover the experiments?" Jack yelled.
Ianto came running into the room, "My fault. I didn't see the beakers behind the tea kettle."
Jack and Gwen each pushed a few buttons on there computers while Ianto helped where he could. The Doctor also did his part to contain the explosion. They were a well oiled machine and it took them only a moment to contain the explosion. It took them a moment longer to notice that Aggie wasn't standing behind them.
"Aggie."
Martha was the first to get to her she reached for her neck to check for a pulse, "No pulse. She's not breathing. I need my medical bag."
It took only a second for Ianto to get her medical bag. The first thing she grabbed out of it was a stethoscope. "Thank God. She's got a heartbeat. Wait. That's impossible."
"What is?" Jack asked when he saw Martha's face turn white.
"This is impossible." Martha repeated and then handed the Doctor the stethoscope.
The Doctor put the chest piece against Aggie's chest and heard a heartbeat…..and then a second heartbeat. "What. This can't be. What."
"Two heartbeats." Martha said simply.
Jack chuckled and then his eyes grew wide, "I swear I never touched her."
