Part two! I'm so so excited for this chapter so here it goes!

P.s Sorry not sorry, it's dramatic again...

Bad Timing Part 2

Clara called down the dark hole once more to check for any noise. Nothing could be heard. She began to panic and tears fell down her cheeks. Her hand whipped to her stomach again as she sobbed through the increasing pain.

"Danny what if he's seriously hurt? How are we going to get to him? What if we can't get home? What about the baby?! I can't have it here! Danny what are we going to-" He held her hand and stroked her head gently.

"Hey, hey, hey! Look calm down! You getting yourself in a state isn't going to help anyone. I'm sure he's okay and if he isn't we will sort it... And as for the baby, if worst comes to worst we'll cope, everything will be fine. I promise. Is it another contraction?" She nodded her head and continued to sob. She rocked backwards and forwards on her knees in attempt to distract and calm herself down. "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here, calm down." He whispered to her to reassure her. Eventually she calmed down and stopped crying. She motioned for Danny to help her up. She then walked towards the end of the corridor that they would have gone to if the Doctor hadn't have fallen. Before they walked around the corner she stopped and checked for any noise once more. Nothing. She sighed and they walked on. They had to get down a level somehow.

Meanwhile the Doctor lay flat on his back slightly dazed. As he slowly became aware of his surroundings he looked up at the gaping hole he had just fallen down. It was directly above him and it looked very far away. He must have fallen a long way. That could only be bad news. After a few minutes he came back to complete consciousness. He sat up slowly only to be stopped by a excruciating pain in his back. It wasn't broken but it was badly bruised. His arms felt heavy and his vision was blurry. After sitting up he began to feel lightheaded. Just before he fell back into a deep sleep an overwhelming feeling came over him. It was familiar yet new. Nice yet slightly uncomfortable. For a second he didn't know what was going on until he looked at his hand and saw the orangey-yellow glow erupting from him.

Clara and Danny continued to slowly walk round each corner. It felt like miles and miles. It wasn't helped by the fact that every corridor looked exactly the same. They couldn't tell if they were making progress or not.

"Are we even going anywhere? Are you sure we're not just walking back and forth?" Danny looked at Clara for a response. She stopped for a second for a break from walking and considered her answer.

"I honestly have no idea... We could be making progress but we could not be. The inside of the TARDIS is a maze just like this. It's the safety mechanism. When it's scared it makes an impossible maze to stop what ever is inside it from getting into its heart. There's really no way of knowing whether we're going the right way or not." She looked down, clearly not coping with the situation. This wasn't meant to be happening. Well not like this anyway.

"So that means that we have a fifty percent chance of going the right way, right?" She nodded and smiled. Once a maths teacher, always a maths teacher. "So that means that surely it's worth a try? It's not like we have any other option is it? It's an adventure."

"Not really in an adventure mood but yeah okay, it's worth a try." They walked on hand in hand hoping for the best.

The Doctor started to breathe more heavily as the energy took over his body.

"No... No!" He tried to fight it but it was too strong. He didn't want to change, he didn't know what was going to happen. Suddenly the yellow light exploded out of him and then faded away. It left almost as quickly as it had came. The Doctor faded into a light sleep. The regeneration had left him exhausted. A few minutes later he opened his eyes slowly and looked up at the hole above him again. With a sigh he got up and walked on the spot to stretch his legs. He started to contemplate where he was when he suddenly remembered what had just happened. He quickly flung his hands up to his head and face and felt them to see if they had changed. He sighed a sigh of relief when he realised that they hadn't. It had just been a partial regeneration. That didn't make it okay though. He kicked himself for not being careful enough. It was a waste of regeneration energy that could have been used in a more serious situation. His mind wandered until he looked behind him and all of the memories flooded back. In the centre of the tomb was the glowing light he had been looking for. The time energy that he needed. As much as he was pleased that he had found it, he was slightly scared too. The memories of him nearly losing Clara and then nearly losing himself came back and made him a lot more cautious. He slowly walked towards it being careful that it wasn't a trap. After all, it was last time. There was no way of knowing. He got closer and walked around it in a circle. Suddenly he heard a whisper and then a creak. His movement stopped dead still. He recognised the sound but he didn't want to believe what it was. The whispers intensified until he was surrounded. There was no way out...

The corridors continued to confused them and they were getting fed up of walking. Neither of them were saying anything, they were just walking aimlessly. Clara was struggling but still kept on thinking of ideas to help them.

"Wait? The Doctor fell downwards, right? So that means that there must be another level beneath us. Maybe we've got the wrong idea? Maybe we should be looking to move downwards rather than forwards?" Danny looked at her apprehensively. He wasn't sure of the idea. "Come on, it's worth a try! We might find him then."

"Okay, but how are we going to get downwards? It's not like there's any stairs?" See grinned at him. He was such an amateur.

"There doesn't always have to be stairs, what about holes in the floor? Or corridors that go a different way?" He smiled at her, secretly they were both enjoying this.

"You know, despite the circumstances, you're doing very well! You're good at this adventure business." She grinned.

"Well what can I say? I've had an excellent teacher." As she finished speaking she leant forwards again in pain. Danny leapt towards her to hold her hands. She breathed through it but it was getting stronger.

"Danny... I need to sit down, like now." He held her hands and her back to help her down to the floor. There was nothing higher to sit on. Tears began to well in her eyes again.

"It's okay, it's okay." He kept saying the same thing over and over again as he didn't know what else he could say. He didn't know what to do in a situation like this. All he could do was be a reassuring husband, even that was proving hard now though.

"Ahh this one is worse." He kissed her head and said nothing. After a few more minutes Clara spoke for the first time. It surprised Danny as it wasn't anything like what he had expected her to say.

"Look! Over there, there's at hatch in the floor." He laughed at the change in conversation and mood. He got up and ran over. With a few tugs the hatch came away from the floor. He looked down and saw stairs leading downwards.

"Haha! Stairs!" He ran back over to Clara who was sat against the wall smiling slightly.

"I knew there would be something somewhere." After helping her up they walked toward the hatch. This was going to be the difficult part. The drop wasn't too big but Clara wasn't really up to jumping down hatches, was she?

"Umm, me first? Or you? I can help you down from up here or catch you when I'm already down?" She looked at the drop and tried to make a conscious decision.

"You first, then you can try your best to catch me." She winked at him and he smiled. Once he was down he stood back a bit and braced himself. Clara sat on the edge, hesitant to fall.

"I'll support you, I promise, I've got you." She nodded in reassurance. She slowly dropped and was caught safely by Danny. He breathed a sigh of relief. It would have been dangerous to drop her. They looked around at where they had just fallen to to get their bearings and then began to follow the stairs downwards. They spiralled round like they would in a big posh house. It made them both feel threatened, like something wasn't right.

"One thing I don't quite get... Why are there stairs here? I mean we're in outer space on a strange planet not in an old house? Why would there be a nice, old fashioned stair case?" Clara continued to walk without saying a thing. He had a point. The more she thought about it, the more it worried her. Something wasn't right but right now she couldn't see what it was.

"Ahh Doctor! We meet again I see." A strange man walked through the gathering of Whispermen that had crowded around him. The Doctor looked down to see him arms being held tightly so that he had no chance of doing anything clever. Then he looked up at the mans face. He didn't recognise him at all, actually he hadn't the faintest idea who he was. That obviously wasn't the same the other way round though.

"And who might you be?" The man laughed evilly. It echoed throughout the room and made the Doctor shudder slightly.

"What? You mean to say that you don't know who I am?" He began pacing up and down. His face was half covered by a black mask which contrasted with his black outfit. He obviously was playing a game, one that the Doctor didn't quite understand yet.

"No, I'm afraid I don't. Should I?" He suddenly stopped walking and turned sharply to face the Doctor. He began to use his arms to over emphasise what he was saying.

"Oh Doctor, Doctor, Doctor. The Doctor doesn't know! You've been to the corners of the universe, you've seen wonders, you've seen death and destruction. I thought you knew everyone!? The Doctor never forgets a face, does he?" The over-confidence of his persona began to annoy the Doctor. He hated being shown up, especially by someone he didn't know.

"Sorry you must have slipped my mind. You can't be very important then? I mean, like you said, I never forget a face. Especially when they are someone worth remembering." They danced through each other's sarcasm. This wasn't interrogation, it was competition.

"Well, well, you may live to regret that Doctor."

"And why would I do that?" He wriggled around in the Whispermen's grasp. They were stronger than they looked.

"Enough questions now. I don't have time to answer that. I'm much more important than you realise you see, I have power. Single handedly I will kill you. Oh no, wait, I won't do it. That would be immoral! You will do it." Once again his confidence made the Doctor feel uneasy. He had too much of an ego, it was unusual.

"How do expect that to happen? Come on. What's your master plan? What do you need me to do?"

"I don't need you to do anything. I'm going to make you do something... I presume you know what that is behind you?" He pointed through the Doctor to the beam of time energy.

"Yes."

"Well there you go. All of your past and future in one place. Your whole time stream up for grabs. Whatcha gonna do big bad timelord?" The pranced over his words and played with the Doctor's thoughts.

"You seem to know what you are talking about so I'll leave you to tell me that."

"You see, I'm guessing you know what happens when you go inside your own time stream? Yeah, it sorta goes a bit like- boom, caboosh, squish! You get the idea. So that's what is going to happen. You are going to walk into your own time stream and make it collapse. The end of the Doctor is in sight and there's nothing you can do about it... Poor Clara! What would she do without you? She sure needs you now, what with the baby and everything. What a shame to see that all go to waste. Poor, poor Doctor. Last of the timelords... Or wait, is he? That's a story for another day." The Doctor's head shot up. The fact that he was most probably going to be killed was thrown aside and he focused on the last part.

"What did you say? About the timelords? Do you know where they are!?" The man laughed and began to pace backwards and forwards again.

"Maybe I do, maybe I don't... But guess what?"

"What?! Tell me." The Doctor was getting aggravated. He had waited so long to hear word of where the timelords were and now he had practically been given it on a plate. He couldn't waste this chance to find out some information about his people.

"I'm not going to tell you because I'm nice like that. But I'll tell you what I am going to make you do... Oh no wait, silly me, you already know that." The Doctor seethed through his anger and frustration.

"What makes you think that I will do it? You have nothing to make me, do you?"

"You may think not but let me remind you who else is in the area." His eyes widened as the realisation hit him.

"No! You leave them alone, they've done nothing wrong!"

"I know, such a shame for them to die, such nice people. So much future ahead of them... Oh well, I guess you're just going to have to jump in then?" He grinned at the Doctor who looked defeated. He had no way out.

"Alright then, if I've got no choice. But what's going to stop me from jumping back out again?"

"You jump out alive, they die. You stay in there and you die, they live. Simple as that. Come on Doctor, sacrifice yourself. You know you want to." The Whispermen pulled him towards the light and he attempted to resist but they were too strong.

"No! No! No! Stop, you can't do this!" He tried to turn to look at the man but he couldn't move his head round far enough.

"Oh but Doctor, I can! And I have! Look who's won, me... Oh and Doctor? I'll miss you terribly." With a smug smile and cackle he signalled for the Whispermen to throw him in. With a small push he was gone. The man laughed, soaking in his self-glory.

Clara and Danny continued to walk down the stairs after stopping and starting quite a few times. The contractions were getting stronger and much more close together. Clara was panicking uncontrollably now. Eventually they got to the bottom and turned the corner. They stood carefully under the arch of the entrance and peered inside to see what the noise was. As soon as Clara saw the time stream and the Whispermen she jumped back around the corner.

"Clara, what is it?" Danny whispered before joining her.

"We can't go in there." She took another deep breath and placed her hands on her hips to take the weight off of her back.

"What were those things?"

"They were the reason why we were here last time and they are probably behind it this time too. They're called the Whispermen, or the 'silent killers' as the Doctor likes to say. They're dangerous, we can't go in there." Danny wiped his hands over his face in worry.

"But we have to go in there. That's what we need to go home isn't it? And the Doctor? He could be in there!" Clara sighed and put her head in her hands.

"I know but we can't go in while they are there!? They'd kill us!"

"Well then we wait until they have gone."

"What do you mean 'gone'? They'll might never leave!" They continued to bicker until the sound of whispers that weren't their own stunned them into silence. Danny moved closer to Clara and scanned the area. There was nothing to be seen until they blinked and stopped making any noise. Suddenly the Whispermen surrounded them. Clara screamed as one grabbed her arm and lead her away from Danny.

"Clara!" He called after her and pulled against the strength of the one holding on to him but it was no use. They were too strong. Soon he was lead into the room behind Clara and they were both held next to each other.

"Let go of me!" Clara turned her head to shout at the Whisperman holding her. It stared back at her with no emotion apart from bearing its teeth and growling. The unnamed man walked from behind the light and began to talk. As he did the light turned red which Clara immediately understood.

"No... What have you done!?" The man grinned.

"Oh Clara, Clara, Clara. He does love you you know but what a shame, now he's gone. I'm heartbroken, aren't you?" Tears fell down her cheeks. She couldn't even tell what emotion she was feeling now, it was a mix of excruciating pain, anger and frustration. She pulled and squirmed to get away from the Whisperman but nothing was working. "Honestly, calm down! He'll miss you so much but you must understand, he has to die. Everything will be better without him." Danny finally spoke up to stop Clara from doing anything she might regret.

"Sorry, who are you?" He chuckled again.

"Oh believe me, that's not important. You should probably work on checking your wife is okay shouldn't you Danny? Dan, Dan the soldier man should know better." He riddled and teased sending Clara and Danny's frustration through the roof.

"Don't you tell me what I can and can't do. I asked you a question."

"Oh so you did, but I'm not answering it sorry." He walked around the edge of the light and looked at it intently. Danny looked away at him and motioned towards Clara to get her attention. She was crying her eyes out and was swaying back and forth in its arms. She was clearly in a state but he didn't really understand why.

"Clara, Clara, look at me." She reluctantly turned her head. "Hey, it's okay, calm down. What's wrong? What has he done with the Doctor?" She sobbed and shook her head.

"He's going to die, he's going to die Danny." He still wasn't following. "He's inside his own time stream. He can't be in his own time stream, it will collapse in on itself. He will have never of existed! He's dead." Suddenly he understood so he formulated a plan.

"Oi you! Creepy guy. Over here." He walked over to Danny and looked at him angrily, not approving of the nickname. "Why do you want him dead?"

"Think of a universe without the Doctor... Everything could roam free, no more hatred and no more impossible heroes." Danny scoffed in disagreement.

"Do you have any idea how many planets he has saved? How many lives and how many civilisations. Without him there would be nothing, nothing at all." The man cackled in utter disgrace.

"Oh is that what she tells you is it? Is that what your wifey over there tells you to keep your spirits up? Thought so." Danny looked at Clara who had calmed down a bit. She gave him a look to calm him down.

"Ignore him Danny, he's trying to wind you up. He knows us, he knows who we are. He'll use our pressure points against us." Danny took in what she said but didn't say anything back.

"Don't talk about her like that." The man pretended to cry and then began to laugh sarcastically.

"Oh I'm scared!" Danny pulled forwards furiously and tried to move his hands to swing for him but he couldn't get rid of the strong grip behind him.

"Danny stop! Let it go! He's trying to get a reaction!" He pulled away again and the man laughed.

"You should probably listen to wifey over there." Danny was getting even more annoyed, the stress was getting to him.

"Stop it! Stop it!" Clara shouted in frustration. The anger had taken over her feeling of pain. It almost made her numb. He walked away and said nothing. Everything went quiet. Clara suddenly thought about the Doctor again.

"Bring the Doctor back safely. Do it now!" He laughed and walked towards her. He leant his face close to hers. She could feel his breath on her face, it disgusted her.

"And why would I do that?"

"Because I'm going to make you! Now do it!" He cackled again which frustrated her even more.

"How are 'you' going to make me? Good luck trying, wifey." She scowled at him and then looked over his shoulder. The Doctor emerged from the time stream looking somewhat exhausted. He rolled out and laid down to get his breath back. The man hadn't noticed so the Doctor crept down and hid behind the stairs. Clara looked at Danny and they knew they both had the same plan.

"Like this!" She swung her leg up and kicked him as hard as she could. He fell to the ground in pain giving her enough time to swing her arm back and knock off the Whisperman. Danny did the same and they moved away. Clara groaned and leaned against the railings. "Ughhh, never piss off a girl while she's having a contraction!" Danny laughed and ran over to her. The Doctor ran up to meet them. The man suddenly stood back up and swung for Clara. He narrowly missed and fell slightly forwards as he had become unsteady on his feet. Danny pulled Clara away into safety and sat her down on the steps.

"Now I've got the upper hand you can tell me who you are and what you want." The man smiled and laughed despite the pain he was in.

"No chance Doctor. You haven't won yet!" He got up and swung for the Doctor. He jumped out of the way leaving him to fall forwards again. After one more swing he tripped and fell. The Doctor gave him a push and he fell straight into the time stream.

"Noooooo!" The sound of him shouting gradually faded as the Doctor watched him go. The Whispermen faded away and all went silent.

"Yeah you go! And never come back!" He shouted in triumph.

He walked over to Clara and Danny who were perched on the steps around the other side of the light. She was rocking backwards and forwards whilst shouting at Danny a lot.

"Danny! DANNY! Uggghhh!" He moved towards her and tried to comfort her but nothing was working.

"Doctor do you think you could get us home now? Like really soon!? I don't think this baby is going to wait much longer!" He grinned and got to work. He'd rather be working, he said to himself. He didn't really know how to comfort Clara. He didn't know much about humans really, let alone childbirth. "Doctor how do we get out of here now?" He looked around in search of the door.

"Oh I'll sonic it, don't worry." Danny speed walked ahead of him to try and make him work faster. The Doctor didn't quite see the urgency but Danny was over panicking now. They needed to get to a hospital and quick.

"Okay thank you. Please hurry up." He smiled and ran back to Clara who was still rocking on the stair. She helped her up and they slowly walked to the TARDIS. A few minutes later the Doctor undid all of the wires he had linked up and crossed his fingers.

"Hopefully this will work... If it doesn't then were a little bit stuck." Clara's head shot up.

"Don't even say that!" She practically growled at him. That was the easiest way to speak right now, use her pain to make words. He switched the engines on and the lights came back on one by one. He stood backwards a bit and put his hands on his head.

"Oh hello sleepy! How are you!?" Clara looked up from the floor again.

"Great! Now can you PLEASE take us to the hospital!?"

"Oh. Yeah. Sorry, on your way now." He held on to the console and enjoyed the noise it made. It had only been out of action for hours and he already missed it. The landing sound was the biggest relief for all of them. Danny ran over and helped Clara up. She groaned and put her head against his chest.

"Good luck!" The Doctor called after them. Danny looked back from walking.

"Thank you, come and visit tomorrow? Come and see how things are!?" He smiled and then hesitated. Come on just this once. The Doctor rose his arm up to his head and saluted at Danny. He returned the salute and jogged on. With a click of the fingers the TARDIS dematerialised again.

As soon as they got into the hospital Clara stopped walking.

"I can't go any further Danny. Get help! Now!" He looked around and waved to the nearest nurse.

"Excuse me! Can we have some help here!?" She smiled and ran over. Another nurse grabbed a wheelchair and helped Clara into it. She asked Danny questions the whole way down the hospital until they got to the room. He answered quickly trying not to show his panic. Clara was breathing heavily and was clearly frustrated with how slowly the nurse was walking.

"Ugh can we please hurry up!? This baby isn't going to wait much longer!" With that the nurse walked faster and helped Clara on to the bed. Danny ran to her side to support her.

Less than fifteen minutes later there was a small cry from the bottom of the bed. Danny ran down and smiled the softest smile Clara had ever seen. It was possibly even softer than when he had seen Ellie for the first time.

"There you go, your new baby girl. Congratulations." The nurse smiled and handed a neatly wrapped, tiny little girl to Danny. A tear fell from his eyes as he looked at Clara.

"She's... She's beautiful Clara." He handed the baby to her and they laid on the bed in utter disbelief. It was enough to send Clara off the edge. She couldn't hold in her emotion and soon broke down into a puddle of tears. Danny kissed her head softly.

"How did we manage to be so lucky Danny?" He laughed slightly.

"That's what I ask myself everyday of our life, I love you so so much and I wouldn't change a thing about our crazy, messed up life." She turned her head and kissed him deeply.

"Me neither. And do you know what? We have on clever three year old because this little one sure does look like a Lily." They both laughed and looked down at their beautiful daughter after an extremely unexpected day...

Andddd there you go! I told you it would be dramatic ;) but luckily it had a nice happy ending! Thank you so so so much for reading x
