I AM SO SORRY. I had no intention for this to be so late! I just got stuck in a REALLY BIG rut of writers block and other nasty things. Please forgive me! I hope this chapter is good, and I'm SERIOUSLY PLANNING on posting another chapter tonight. Seriously. Just keep bugging me about it. message me or find me on tumblr but MAKE ME WRITE THIS CHAPTER TONIGHT cuz I have some REALLY GOOD IDEAS and if i get lazy and stop writing tonight I will forget them all and terrible things will happen! NOOOOOOOO.
Anyway someone asked about this, and I'm sure others are wondering. The time for this is BEFORE the epilogue of the last Harry Potter book, but yes Harry and Ginny are together. Ginny just isn't with them right now. Ron and Hermione are together too, they're just REALLY GOOD about PDA (cuz they are polite)
The first word of the story is probably what you all are thinking. Again, reviews help A LOT, so more reviews = faster updates! (Mainly they're an ego boost)
enjoy! xxx
Chapter 12
Finally, Jeremy thought as the metal doors were slammed shut and the angry screams of the Doctor were no longer heard, that man never shuts up.
He looked around at the chaos ensuing around him. Rose lay unconscious on the metal table, her water dripping down the legs and pooling on the tiled floor. The two men who wore surgical scrubs were rushing around the room, wheeling in a heart monitor and a tray laden with medical instruments.
One of the men approached him. "Sir," he addressed him with a slight bow of his head "We will have to perform a caesarean, since she is unconscious." He kept his eyes on the ground, not daring to look him in the eye. Good. Jeremy smirked. They should fear me.
He stared at the man, analyzing him. "What is your name?" He asked.
"Barns. Arnold Barns."
Jeremy watched him a while longer. Barns shifted his weight uncomfortably under his scrutiny.
"Fine, do what you want." He waved his hand, dismissing him. "It doesn't have to be pretty, as long as I get what I want."
He walked to the back of the room, leaving the swarming chaos. I feel like a cup of tea, He thought to himself. A cup of tea, and then a visit to my favorite prisoners.
Suddenly, a rapid beeping filled the room. He froze in his tracks. "Did you get the heart monitor attached?" He asked.
"Y-y-es sir… it's a-all hooked up…" the other man said.
"Then I'm hoping that her heart is just racing…"
He heard the man shuffle his feet. "Well, sir, it seems as though she has two hearts…"
Jeremy spun around. "What?" He moved towards the stuttering doctor. "What do you mean…two? When we began this process, her second heart had only just begun to form…now you're saying it's suddenly beating?"
Still stalking towards him… the man had no choice but to back up towards the wall.
"Well, Sir, you see, w-we didn't anticipate th-that the vol-volacutus would not only a-ac-ccelerate the growth of the fe-fe-fetus, but also her secondary heart…."
Suddenly backed up against the wall, the stuttering man fell silent. Jeremy looked down at him with anger.
The doctor closed his eyes, expecting the worst.
"Your name. NOW!" He had no patience for this stupid, stuttering excuse of a doctor.
The man muttered something quietly.
"I'm sorry," Jeremy cupped his ear dramatically and leaned towards the man.
"J-Jeremy Zuniga" he quietly whispered to his toes.
Jeremy stood straight. "Ahh. So your name is Jeremy as well" He smirked at the man. "Is that why you're so afraid?" The man nodded. "Well there is nothing to be afraid of. My name isn't Jeremy, not really. Why, 'Jeremy' isn't the name of a world leader, I mean look at you. It's the name of a nobody." He smiled and patted the man on the shoulder. "That doesn't mean I'm not going to kill you for it."
So quickly that he had no time to mutter a single sound, Jeremy pulled a concealed knife from his sleeve and plunged it into the stuttering man's body. His lifeless eyes stared straight ahead as he slid slowly down the wall into a heap on the ground.
"Change of plans!" Jeremy turned on his heel and walked away from the dead man on the ground. "Barnes! No C-section! Since the mother is now a Time Lord, we cannot afford to cut into her and risk harming her internal organs. No, we need to wake her. NOW."
Nurses rushed into the room and went straight for Rose. Simultaneously, one had a wet cloth on her forehead, one had smelling salts under her nose, and one had her wrist grasped in her hand, murmuring words to her.
"No, no, no. I'm sorry dearies, but I really don't have time for this."
Pushing away the nurses, he walked up to Rose's face and studied it for a moment. The mark his hand had left still showed on her cheek. Good, he thought, I'll give her another one to match.
*CRACK*
The sound of the slap reverberated throughout the room. Everyone stopped and watched as Rose gaped back to life and cried out in pain.
"Good, you're up. How was your nap?" He walked around to the other side of the table. "Oh, and try not to speak. It is entirely possible that I've just dislocated your jaw!"
He laughed and turned away. As he walked towards the door in the back of the room, he called back over his shoulder "Not to worry, dearie! Your new Time Lord regenerative powers should mend that in no time!"
He opened the door just in time to hear her gasp in surprise, and then he slammed it behind him.
Ahh, now that that's done, He turned towards the kitchens, I'll have my tea.
~oOo~
"Ooph!"
The heavy metal door was slammed shut as the Doctor landed face first on the ground. Scampering back up to his feet, he pounded on the wall.
"YOU LET ME OUT! ROSE! ROSE! SHE NEEDS ME!"
Harry and Ron grabbed the Doctor by the shoulders and pulled him, kicking and screaming, to the back of the room. Hermione and Donna could do nothing but watch as the boys held him down.
"LET GO! I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS!"
Harry looked back to Donna and pleaded with her. "You know him best, come here and get him to calm down!"
"Yeah, like that's gonna happen…" Despite her skepticism, Donna hurried over to the Doctor. Harry and Ron each held one of his shoulders as he writhed in between them.
"ROSE!" He cried. "ROSE! LET ME GO! RO—"
*SLAP*
Hermione winced at the sound.
The Doctor stopped shouting and stared at Donna in disbelief. "You slapped me!" His hand flew to his cheek. "You slapped me again!"
"Was that necessary?" Hermione asked.
"Well it worked!" Donna pointed out. "He isn't screamin' and flappin' around is he?" She plopped down in front of him. "We're going to get out of here." She grabbed the Doctor's hands. "We're going to get Rose and get out. Okay?" She continued to soothe him while Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked to the opposite corner.
"Okay. We need to get out of here. That Donna is mental!" Ron looked over his shoulder only to see Donna glaring at him. He quickly turned away.
"That's a brilliant idea, Ron" Harry seethed, his voice full of sarcasm. "How do you suggest we DO that? That Jeremy bloke took our wands!"
"It is possible to do magic without a wand." Hermione mentioned. "Remember when we were young, before we were accepted to Hogwarts, we would perform small, random bursts of magic?"
Ron sighed. "That's true, but we don't have time to wait for a small, random burst of magic." He sat cross-legged on the floor. "So what now?" Exasperated, he plopped down on his back.
"Dumbledore could use magic without his wand." Harry thought back to the last time he had been with Dumbledore, in the cave where the locket was hidden. "He used the magic inside of him to determine where doors were and how he could get them open, and also he knew where the chain to the boat was so we could raise it and cross the lake. And when we flew back to Hogwarts, he muttered incantations under his breath to remove enchantments set to protect the castle."
"Yes Harry, he could, but not without years of studying and working hard at it." Hermione rolled her eyes. "You can't just decide to use magic without a wand."
"But Harry is the Chosen One!" Ron sat back up. "One of the most powerful wizards of our age! I bet he could do it!"
Hermione thought for a moment. "Well, I suppose it's worth a try. We don't exactly have any other plan here…"
Harry looked to the back of the room, and saw Donna was still sitting in front of the Doctor. He had his hands clasped in front of him, and his eyes were shut. He was breathing really deep, almost as if he were meditating.
"Well, it's worth a shot." He jumped up and walked towards the door.
Donna saw Harry go, and looked to the others. "What's he doing?" She asked Hermione.
"He's going to try to open the door using magic."
"Yeah!" Ron jumped up. "Dumbledore could do it, I'm sure Harry can!" He ran over to his friend.
"Ron, don't distract him!" Hermione grabbed his arm and pulled him back to her.
"Ow, you can be nice you know" He pouted at her. Hermione just laughed.
Donna looked towards the Doctor. "You think he can do it?"
Before The Doctor even lifted his head out of his meditation, she heard a sharp click, and Harry whispered "Got it!"
Donna whistled. "You may not like him Doctor, but you can't deny, Harry's got style."
The Doctor's head shot up and he glared at her. "I like Harry just fine, Donna! And I KNOW you just stole that from the fifth movie. HA!" he scoffed at her and ran to the door.

[While Harry, Ron and Hermione were talking, the Doctor was taking matters into his own hands]
"Well it worked!" Donna pointed out. "He isn't screamin' and flappin' around is he?" She plopped down in front of him. "We're going to get out of here." She grabbed the Doctor's hands. "We're going to get Rose and get out. Okay?" She continued to soothe him while Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked to the opposite corner.
"Donna, stop. I need to concentrate." The Doctor pushed Donna's hands away from his. Donna eyed him warily.
"What exactly are you concentrating on, Space man?"
"I'm trying to form a mental link with Rose." He closed his eyes and bowed his head. "I should be able to now, since she is turning into a Time Lord. It might be a little difficult, since she isn't a fully realized Time Lord, but I should still be able to do it." He took a deep breath and leaned back a little.
Donna watched him carefully, ready to shake him out of whatever trance he was in if need be. Suddenly, she heard Ron loudly whisper, "That Donna is mental!" She swiveled around and glared at him.
Suddenly, she heard the Doctor's startled "Woah!"
She quickly turned back towards him. "What, what is it?"
"I've found Rose"
"Well that's good!" Donna clapped him on the shoulder. She considered his tone"…Right?"
"Well of course it's good" The Doctor looked at her like she had just dribbled down her shirt. Donna rolled her eyes. "But I shouldn't have been able to do it so fast. That means something must have happened to accelerate her growth into a Time Lord."
Donna pondered his words for a moment. "It must have been the volacutus. It had to have sped up more than just the…pregnancy…" The Doctor cringed at the reminder "…but also her biology". The Doctor nodded in agreement. "So is she a fully realized Time Lady now?"
"Time Lord, and no. She won't be a full Time Lord until her first regeneration."
Donna stared at him. "Isn't the feminine version Time Lady?"
It was the Doctor's turn to roll his eyes at her. "No. It's not. Everyone thinks it is, but it really isn't. The term is Time Lord, a Lord of time. It is gender neutral. Anyway, stop distracting me Donna!" He closed his eyes again. "I've got find where they are keeping Rose." He bowed his head again.
After a few minutes, Donna heard Harry say "Well, it's worth a shot." He jumped up and walked towards the door.
Donna saw Harry go, and looked to the others. "What's he doing?" She asked Hermione.
"He's going to try to open the door using magic."
"Yeah!" Ron jumped up. "Dumbledore could do it, I'm sure Harry can!" He ran over to his friend.
"Ron, don't distract him!" Hermione grabbed his arm and pulled him back to her.
"Ow, you can be nice you know" He pouted at her. Hermione just laughed.
Donna looked towards the Doctor. "You think he can do it?"
Before The Doctor even lifted his head out of his meditation, she heard a sharp click, and Harry whispered "Got it!"
Donna whistled. "You may not like him Doctor, but you can't deny, Harry's got style."
The Doctor's head shot up and he glared at her. "I like Harry just fine, Donna! And I KNOW you just stole that from the fifth movie. HA!" he scoffed at her and ran to the door. "Just in time too! I just got a lock on Rose's location. I'll lead the way"
