Chapter Twelve

The Doctor took his son and his wife up to the console room. He knew his TARDIS was still keeping an eye on Dex in case it was a trick but he felt certain there was no harm in letting him do this. In fact, he could sense his son's mind and how calm it was at the moment which gave him even more reason to hope. Perhaps there was a chance his son would leave the asylum and come back to them once he was cured. Once they got there, he sat them down on the jump seat and stood at the console. He rubbed the rim and smiled.

My clever old girl, he thought to her. I see now the reason why you went to 1863. You knew it was time for this anger to end, didn't you? Please I'm asking you to search your memory banks and find the best facility in the universe, someplace where my son can truly heal once and for all.

There was a moment's pause and then the rotor came to life. Patience gasped and the Doctor turned to comfort her.

"It's alright, it's the TARDIS. We're flying now," Dex said, pointing to the rotor.

The Doctor beamed at his son, happy that he had done that. He mentally contacted the others, blocking them from Dex momentarily, and told them what was happening. He felt them rejoice when he told them he had finally gotten through to him.

How are my granddaughters behaving? He thought while he worked the controls.

Splendidly, Brother, we've taught them ping pong and the two of them are beating Rose and me. It's embarrassing, but at least they're enjoying themselves. Be careful with Dex up there with you. You never know…

I know, I and the TARDIS are keeping an eye on him. Just keep them occupied for the moment while we get him checked in. then if Dex wishes to see them I'll bring them inside.

Gotcha.

He dropped the block and continued to work the controls while it flew through the vortex.

The TARDIS finally landed and the Doctor took Dex's hand.

"Come, my Son, there's nothing to fear," he said.

He took his hand and Patience's hand and they walked out the door. They noticed they were in a large walled in courtyard. There was a large white building at the back of it with about fifty floors. In the courtyard were trees and fountains and a dirt path that wound around it. There were several patients walking the path, sitting under the trees and by the fountain and talking to each other. Everyone had on what looked like plain white pajamas but the whole place had a peaceful aura to it.

"Doesn't look too bad," Dex said.

"I told the TARDIS to take us to the best institution in the universe and she apparently found it on Vega Minor which makes sense since the Vegans are known for their empathic abilities."

"This is an insane asylum?" Patience said.

"Yes, it's a mental health facility. Best in the universe and Dex will be safe here," he said, closing the TARDIS door behind them.

He took their hands and they walked to the building.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Patience looked around the spotless white interior while they walked up to reception. The receptionist behind the desk looked human except she had pale skin, piercing dark blue eyes and snow white hair that had been plaited and put into a bun on the back of her head. She looked at them and smiled.

"Welcome to Crystal Waters Healing Facility. May I help you?"

"Yes, I would like to admit my son for treatment," the Doctor said.

The receptionist smiled at him.

"Certainly. Your full name, please?" she said to Dex.

"Dexdendaronrulalamagnus."

She wrote that down.

"Species?"

"Gallifreyan, Time Lord."

"Date of birth?"

"27th of Omegus, 6453, Rassilonian Era."

"Age?"

1,032 years old."

The Doctor glanced at Patience and saw the shocked look on her face while she was listening to her husband, but she was keeping silent. The Doctor made a mental note to explain everything more in depth to her once they got back to the TARDIS.

Finally after taking down all the information, the woman picked up a holo-phone and spoke to an orderly. A few minutes after hanging up, the young man appeared. He also had pale skin, blue eyes and white hair although his was parted in the middle and hung down to his shoulders. He smiled warmly at them.

"Follow me, please," he said to them.

They followed him to an elevator and he pushed the button. They went up to the fifth floor and they followed him to a room. He opened the metal door and ushered them inside. Dex looked around at the interior. The walls were painted white and there were two large windows on the far side giving the room ample light. There was a bed, a small nightstand, a bureau and a holo-TV across the room from the bed. There were also a couple of plants on small tables by either side of the windows that had their ivy vines snaking up the walls. They came inside further and saw two open doors. One led to the bathroom, the other to a closet.

"See, my Son," the Doctor said, putting a hand on his shoulder. "You'll be alright here."

Dex looked around at it while Patience walked to the bed. She put her hand on it and drew it back when she heard a sloshing sound. She tested it again and looked at the orderly.

"Is there water in here?" she said.

"Yes, ma'am, it's a special aquapedic mattress. It contains special gelled water that is designed to retain body heat and mold around the patient's body giving him absolute comfort and allowing him to sleep well. We believe a good night's sleep aids in the healing process."

The Doctor noticed how perplexed she was but she merely nodded and walked back to the Doctor's side.

"Um…what kind of treatments will my husband receive?" she asked the orderly.

"Well, depending on what he needs, the treatments might range from colored light therapy to aromatherapy or controlled harmonic treatments which will get his chi back in balance and get him centered again. We also have individual as well as group therapy sessions."

The Doctor noticed Patience looked even more confused.

"Will any of that hurt him?" she asked the orderly.

"No, ma'am, it's all completely painless."

"Well, I guess that's the most important thing then," she said.

Dex looked at his father.

"What about her? Are you going to be looking after her?"

"Yes, in fact, I suggested she go to England to escape the devastation after Sherman comes through in 1864."

Dex nodded.

"If I were you, I'd listen to him. He does know what he's talking about and England would be safer for you and the children."

He looked at his father.

"What about you?"

"I'll be fine. I have my family in the TARDIS. And I know what you think about them but they are good people, my Son. They have healed me in so many ways, healed me far more than any companion has ever done. Humans aren't all monsters and I hope you realize that and will understand that more with this therapy. I'm glad you finally did have a moment of clarity and realized that you can't live the rest of your lives like this with all this bottled up anger inside you. I did that too, Dex. I kept everything in and let all the anger and rage and bitterness consume me but unlike you I saw the literal personification of my rage in the form of a man called the Valeyard. I fought him on several occasions and nearly came close to losing my life a couple of times. The last time I fought him I was kidnapped and forced to become his slave and go after Alan and the rest of the family. That's how I met Rain, so in a way I am thankful for him for that, but he caused nothing but trouble and heartache for me. He's gone now, destroyed, but the anger and darkness I had within me was enough to bring him to life and give him a corporeal body. This is my warning to you, Son, to let go before there comes a day when you turn around and see your own darkness staring you right in the face. What life are you on now?"

"My Fourth."

He nodded.

"Then let go of four lives worth of anger before it's too late. I finally learned that lesson a few months ago and started my own process of healing with the help of Rain and my family and I have to say that I have never in my 1200 years of existence felt more happiness and peace than I do now. I am finally letting go and embracing the love that my family offered to me and it feels so good. It feels good to be happy and not be afraid to feel that way because something terrible might happen to bring it all to an end. In many ways, we are the same, my Son. You've done the exact same thing I did. You kept your anger inside instead of letting it out. Now I'm asking you to follow in my footsteps and do what I did and let the anger go. Now, I'll allow my mind to stay open to yours as well as the minds of my family so you can feel us and be comforted but be warned, I will not have you abuse us through the mind link and scream your hatred and anger at us because the moment that happens I will block you and keep the block up until you are healed. I trust you for the moment, my Son, don't betray that trust and lose the minds of me and my family. Do you understand?"

He nodded.

"Father?"

"Yes?"

"Your family. They're all Time Lords and Ladies, right?"

"Yes."

"And there are…eight on board the TARDIS?"

"Yes."

"Then how come I feel ten minds?"

"Well, we have one back in Cardiff on Earth. Jack. He's human but he was given the ability to communicate with us because we also adopted him as a brother. The other…"

He sighed.

"The other is another insane Time Lady named the Rani. She turned out to be alive as well and she kidnapped me and my family and tried to experiment on us. I took her to Volag Nok and I blocked her mind from ours and I really suggest you do the same. She's incarcerated but I'm sure she'll look for any opportunity she can get to torment any other Time Lords. But she's also another example of what insanity will do to our kind along with another one named the Master. They were both with me at the academy and they both went bonkers and I'm not about to follow them."

He put a hand on his shoulder.

"Nor will I see my only son resigned to that fate. I love you very much and I know this will be rough but it's for the best right now. Just let them help you and I will come and see you when I can and I'll bring Patience and your children if they wish to come. Like I said, there are no barriers between us anymore except the ones you create."

He nodded and hugged him. The Doctor hugged him back and sent love into his mind.

"I have to go for the moment, Son. But I will visit soon, I promise. I need to help Patience and the children and after that I want to find your friends so they can be restored to their true selves. They're not like you, are they? With all the anger?"

"No, not really. They did listen to me when I said things about you but I'm not sure if they'll be hostile or not. But you're right, Father. I hate that they're human and have to hide."

"Well, I hate that we got the truth out of you through coercive methods but you weren't cooperating."

He lowered his eyes and nodded.

"Father?"

"Yes, my Son?"

"Tell…Rain…that I'm sorry."

"She knows, Dex. She understands why you did what you did but I will tell her."

He hugged him again.

"I'm glad you finally decided to listen for once, Dex, and take this chance. I want you in my life just as much as I want my other family. And I know this might seem like a punishment but it's not, it's an opportunity, alright?"

He nodded. The Doctor hugged him again and rubbed his back while he kissed his forehead. Then with one more squeeze of his hand, he escorted Patience out while the orderly closed the door behind them.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Once he was back inside the TARDIS he mentally called to his family and smiled when Rory and Blizzard came bounding into the room before them. He rubbed their heads while they barked and licked his hands and wrists in greeting. The family came into the console room a moment later with Amelia and Opal and gathered around him.

"Is it done?" Alan asked.

"It's done. He went quietly and I think he will accept the therapy."

All of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Good, it's about time that boy got help," Alan said.

The Doctor's eyes widened when he saw his granddaughters. Both of them were wearing blue jeans. Amelia had on a lavender t-shirt and Opal had on a pink one. Both of them had white trainers on.

"Um, yeah," Alan said when he noticed the Doctor's shock. "They kinda wanted to try on what we were wearing and the TARDIS supplied them with clothes."

Patience stared at her daughters in shock when they came up to her.

"Ma, this is wonderful. It feels so cool and light and you can really move around," Amelia said to her.

"Yeah, I like Rain's clothes. They're better than dresses," Opal said.

We have an idea, Brother, Alan thought to him.

Yes?

If you're gonna take them to England, why not take them to modern day England. Take them to Ealing and see if Sarah Jane will help look after them and help them adjust.

The Doctor's eyes widened.

You know, that's not a bad idea, he thought to them.

Well, it seems like they'd be happier in modern day London, Alan thought. Life would be easier for them and that way they'd have Sarah there to help them and you could see her and your family at the same time. They would be safe there until Dex got out plus you have to admit, more education and opportunities for her and the girls. Amelia and Opal are bright, far too bright to spend their lives on a farm. They need to use those minds for something other than shoveling hay and cow dung.

I agree, Brother.

He turned to Patience.

"Patience, why don't you follow the others to the kitchen and have some tea? I'll get the TARDIS started and then I'll join you. We have an idea about your housing situation but I want you to be relaxed before you hear it."

She nodded and the family smiled while they escorted her and her children back to the kitchen. The Doctor watched them go and then walked over to his console.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Once the TARDIS was in the vortex, the Doctor walked back to the kitchen. His family made them comfortable and they were all sipping tea. The Doctor grabbed a mug, poured himself some and sat down beside Patience. He explained about what the orderly had said and the different therapy techniques before explaining Alan's idea to them. He could tell the children were excited about it but Patience was hesitant.

"Will we be alright in London in 2009?" she asked him.

"Oh yes, we have a friend named Sarah Jane. We're going to ask her to look after ya while we're gone. She's a wonderful lady and she has a 14 year old son named Luke and he has friends named Rani and Clyde that will befriend the children and help teach them. You can have a kitchen like this one there which means you won't have to work as hard and have more leisure time. The children can go to school and there is no end to what they can be when they grow up. There are very few gender barriers when it comes to jobs and they can grow up to be doctors, scientists, artists, writers, anything they can dream of being, they can be. Now I'm not saying it's a utopia there. There are a lot of new problems that you won't have in 1863 but the benefits outweigh them, at least in my opinion. We'll come and see you and help you any way we can and Sarah will do the same plus I have another friend named Wilf who I think will help you out as well. He lives in another section of London but I have a feeling he'll do everything he can to make you all feel at home. So what'd ya say? Would you like to try it at least? Because if you aren't happy there, we can take you someplace else in time and space."

"Please, Ma?" Amelia said.

"Yeah, we wanna live where we can wear this," Opal said.

"This Sarah Jane, she is a kind woman?"

"Very kind and she traveled with me for a few years so she'd understand your situation better than anyone else would. And Wilf would as well. And I have another friend named Jack who could also check up on you when he is in London and he has friends as well. You would have a support system there and then you'd have us as well so you wouldn't have to live alone in the farmhouse."

She nodded.

"I'll give it a try, Doctor," she said.

He grinned when the children cheered.

"Now, you might have to have a tiny crash course in modern day London or modern day Earth, for that matter, which we can help you with. Also, Alan here is having a birthday in a couple of days and Sarah Jane and her kids, Wilf and Jack and his friends are coming to it along with Rose's family. Would you like to stay here and meet them and help my brother celebrate his birthday?"

She smiled and nodded.

"Brilliant. Let me do this though. Let me talk to Sarah and bring her on board so you can meet her personally so she can talk to you before the party starts. So go ahead and relax and I'll be back."

He smiled and got up to go into the console room to make the call to Sarah Jane.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

After explaining everything to Sarah Jane, she readily agreed to help out and the Doctor flew the TARDIS to Ealing. When he landed, Sarah came outside and hugged him.

"Luke and the others are still in school right now if you care to wait for them."

"I can wait for as long as needs be," he said.

"I'm happy you found your son and I sincerely hope he'll be cured," she said as they stepped inside. "I would be happy to help Patience and her family adjust. In fact, I think there is a house a couple of blocks away that's for sale that might be perfect for them."

"Good," he replied.

"I do have a spare room that I converted into a bedroom for Rani or Clyde when they want to sleep over and she and the children can use it while we find them a house or a flat and that way I can teach them and get them adjusted to twenty first century life."

"Sarah, you are an angel."

"Well, considering all you did for me, it's just my little way of paying you back, Doctor. I also want your daughter in law and granddaughters to be safe and taken care of until Dex comes back."

They entered the kitchen and Sarah Jane smiled and hugged the rest of the family. She grinned when Rory and Blizzard came running up.

"And these are the dogs," she said, bending down to them. "Oh they're adorable. I'm glad Wilf found them in time."

She stood back up and smiled warmly at Patience.

"Hello, I'm Sarah Jane. The Doctor told me about you and your wanting to give London a try. I'd be happy to help you and your daughters adjust and I can offer you a room in my house until you can find somewhere to live."

"Thank ya," she replied.

She accepted a mug of tea from Alan and kissed his cheek.

"Happy first birthday, my handsome boy," she said in his ear.

He blushed at that and kissed her cheek back. Sarah Jane turned and smiled at Amelia and Opal. She bent down to them.

"Hello, I'm Sarah Jane, what are your names?"

"I'm Amelia."

"I'm Opal."

"Nice to meet you. I have a son, Luke, who's away at school right now but I'm willing to bet he'll be friends with you both. Would you like that?"

They nodded and she tousled their hair affectionately. She stood up and sat down across from Patience. The Doctor looked at his family, jerked his head towards the door and they all went out so Sarah could have time to talk to them.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The Doctor and his family sat in their living room, relaxing. While he sat on the sofa, the Doctor scanned his son's mind but so far he seemed calm. He supposed once the therapists started talking to him there would be some anger that came up but as long as it wasn't directed towards him or his family, he was willing to put up with it. He knew allowing his son to feel their minds gave him comfort and added to his healing and he wasn't going to block him unless absolutely necessary.

He smiled when Rain snuggled up against him and closed her eyes. He was so thankful that she hadn't been harmed except for the whip marks and she was back to her normal cheerful, loving self.

He felt a tap on his shoulder and looked up to see his brother smiling down at him.

"Got an idea, Brother. Want to run it by ya."

"Yes?"

"How 'bout for my birthday, we fly to ancient Rome and attend a bacchanalia."

The Doctor frowned.

"Bacchanalias were attended by women only," he said.

"Well…originally yes, but eventually they did let men go," he pointed out.

"Why a bacchanalia?"

"Feasting, drinking and frivolity. Plus, we'll get to watch a lot of people running around in a drunken stupor acting bonkers and this includes our wives, although…they won't be drunk but still, they can act drunk."

The Doctor looked at Rain who was giggling softly and staring at him.

"Latara, you wanna go watch a bunch of crazy, drunken Romans for his birthday?"

"Sounds like I'd be doing more than just watching."

"Okay…do you wanna go join a bunch of crazy, drunken Romans for his birthday?"

"No."

"Thought as much."

"I wanna go to Salem, Massachusetts and drink wine and eat cheese while we watch Giles Corey get pressed to death by heavy stones for not confessing to being a witch."

Alan sniggered when the Doctor gave her a wide-eyed look.

"May I ask why?"

"Um…curiosity?" she said, shrugging.

Alan bent over laughing at the shocked look on his brother's face.

"Um, suddenly I'm wondering if I got all of you out of the watch," he said.

Rose leaned over the couch.

"Nah, you don't wanna see that, Sis. Go to the French revolution and watch people get guillotined. That's a party right there!"

"Hey yeah, take us to the day Marie Antoinette gets it! I wanna see that!" Rain said.

"Nah," Donna said, leaning over the couch next to Rose. "Sod that, let's go find an actual working pendulum and watch someone get sliced in half!"

"Who are you people?" the Doctor said while they laughed hysterically. "Suddenly you've become very bloodthirsty. Maybe I should take you back to the mental health facility and get you rooms next to Dex."

"Actually, Love," Rain said, "we could always go back to see Kida and step on her spiders."

"Yeah, I wonder how my love slave's doin'," Alan said. "I bet she's lonely waiting for me to come back with the rope."

The Doctor snickered. Alan suddenly had a thought and bent down to whisper in his ear. The Doctor giggled and nodded.

"Ought-oh, "Donna said. "Now what are these two planning?"

"My family," the Doctor said, looking at all of them. "Come with me. My brother and I just had a splendid idea. Lead the way, Te'lesau."

Alan snickered while the Doctor got up with Rain. The family looked at each other when he led them out of the room.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Kida stood in her bedroom in front of her mirror brushing her hair. Suddenly she heard a wheezing sound behind her and spun around to see the TARDIS materializing in front of her door. She gasped when the door opened and the Doctor stomped out.

"ARE YOU BEHAVING?" he bellowed.

She nodded, in shock.

"Have you killed anyone else?" the Doctor growled.

She shook her head. He smiled.

"Good because if you had, I would have thrown you to my randy brother. Right, Brother?"

Alan came outside and stood behind him, holding a coiled piece of rope in his hands.

"Let me at her, Brother, dear. I still need to tie her up and whip her!" he said with a wild look in his eyes.

"No!" Kida said. "I'm not doing anything! I swear! Just keep him away from me!"

"Good! Because remember, we're watching."

He let out a high-pitched "Whooooooo!" and waggled his fingers while he and Alan stepped back inside the TARDIS. Kida stared at the TARDIS in silent shock when it dematerialized.

Inside, the Doctor was bent over the console and Alan gripped the railing while they laughed hysterically. Their family stood a few feet away from Alan, giggling.

"That was good," Rain said, walking up to the Doctor.

"Well, we warned her we'd be keeping an eye on her from time to time, that was just in case she didn't believe us," the Doctor said.

"Ah man, that was great. We need to do that more often," Alan said, coming up the ramp with the rope. "Keep the little brat on her toes, ya know. Next time we need to do it while she's asleep and jump in bed with her."

The Doctor patted him on the back and they walked back towards the living room.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Once Alan put the rope back, they went into the living room and turned on the TV while they wanted for Sarah Jane to get done talking to Patience. Awinita and Mingxia played chess while Donna read a book and Jenny and Rose talked to each other. Alan sat with his brother and sister who were snuggled against each other while they watched an alien quiz show.

While they watched, the Doctor looked over when Amelia came into the room.

"Hello there," the Doctor said while they smiled at her.

"Hi, Papaw," she said, walking to them. "Hi, Mamaw."

"Hi, Honey," Rain replied.

"How's your mum doing? Is she still in the kitchen with Sarah Jane?" the Doctor asked.

"Yeah, Opal's with them," she said. "Papaw, is Pa gonna be alright?"

"Oh yeah, Sweetheart, he'll be fine. He's just very sick and needed to be taken to a doctor so he can get better. He be back, you'll see."

"Are we really goin' to London in the future?"

"I think so. My friend, Sarah Jane, will help you do that."

"I like her. She's nice."

"Good. I'm glad. Because she is very nice and her son, Luke and their friends are nice too. But I want to talk to you about something because if you're gonna stay for your granduncle's birthday party, you need to know something."

"What, Papaw?"

He took her hand and guided her around to his lap. She sat down on it and he put his arms around her.

"You like Mamaw, don't you?"

She nodded and Rain smiled.

"And Awinita and Mingxia?"

"Yes."

"Good because you know they aren't white people like we are and you learned to accept them so I'm hoping you'll accept some of my other friends and Luke's friends because they aren't white either. You see, Sweetheart, in the time you're going to there is no slavery in America and there's a lot more acceptance of different races than there is in your time and a couple of my friends and one of Luke's friends is colored and another of Luke's friends is an India Indian. But all of them are just as friendly as we are and I'd like you to show them respect, alright? The same kind of respect that you've shown Mamaw and Awinita and Mingxia. Which means you can't call them…"

He whispered the N word in her ear.

"That's right out for you and your sister and your mother as well. That's an offensive word and I won't tolerate you using it around us, alright?"

She nodded.

"You can call them black or African American, but not colored or negro and certainly not the word I just whispered to you. They are very dear friends of mine and I hope in time they will be your friends as well. But in London in 2009, people are more open and accepting of other races…for the most part, there are still people who aren't accepting of course, but I don't want you or Opal to be like that. Your mother might be harder to convince but Sarah Jane will help all of you with that just like she'll help with all the differences you'll face. But I just want you to know because if you go to school in London your classmates will be different races and colors and you can't treat them like they're inferior because they're not, okay?"

She nodded.

"I want you to be at the party but like I said, treat everyone with the same respect you've shown Mamaw and my family, okay? This right here," he said, pointing to his hand, "is just skin color. It's pigment and it has nothing to do with intelligence. If you look around and notice you'll see that there are white people who have different shades of white skin. Some have darker white skin than paler white people do."

"And you're the palest one of all," Awinita said.

"And there will be no sarky comments from others during my talk, thanks," he said while the others giggled. "But anyway, I just wanted to prepare you and I will say the same thing to your sister and mum because I don't want people getting upset during Alan's party. Just treat everyone equally, yeah?"

"I will, Papaw."

He smiled.

"Good. I will be very happy if you do that."

He gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"You and your sister are gonna have to help your mum adjust to London, alright?"

"Yes."

"I think you'll have fun there. There's so much to do and you'll grow up not having to work on a farm and…you can be whatever you want to be. Sarah Jane is a journalist and she writes articles for a newspaper."

"She does?"

"Yes and my friend Martha is a doctor and my other friend Gwen is a police officer. You can be anything you want."

"Yeah, you can even be a temp if you want," Donna said.

They laughed when the Doctor shot her an exasperated look.

"Yeah or you can be a shop girl," Rose said, nudging Donna.

"Or you can help your dad run a Navajo hogan campground."

"Or you can be unemployed," Awinita said.

"Or be an ex-soldier who can't kill anyone because Dad wouldn't approve," Jenny said.

"I believe I said I didn't need your help," the Doctor said while they laughed.

He smiled at his granddaughter.

"Everyone here is silly, pay no attention to them. And this one right here is the silliest one of all," he said, pointing to Alan.

Alan wrapped his arms around Amelia and kissed her cheek.

"Gotta be silly to live in a silly universe," he said to her.

"Got a point there," Rose said.

Alan smiled at Amelia.

"I hope you like the rest of us just as much as Mamaw and Papaw," he said.

"I do."

"Good because I'm a very needy person and I require lots and lots of love and hugs and kisses to keep going," he said. "I run Rose ragged, don't I?"

"Yes, he does. I have to kiss him every 12. 2 minutes or he just slumps to the floor and he'll wither away."

Alan gave her a shocked look.

"Oh no, it's 12.1 minutes. I need a kiss before I wither! Quick Amelia, save me!"

She giggled and kissed his cheek.

"Ah, much better. I'm set for the next 12.2 minutes," he said.

"See, Sweetheart, he's very silly but he's a sweet guy," the Doctor said, tousling her hair.

They looked over when Sarah Jane stuck her head into the living room.

"The TARDIS led me here. I was gonna take Patience and Opal into the house and get them settled in. Would you like to come and see my house, Amelia?"

"Yes."

She smiled and reached out her hand. Alan let go of her and she walked over and took it.

"I just wanted to let you know where we were at and I need to meet Luke since it's almost time for him and his friends to come home and I'll tell them what's happening."

"Great. In the meantime, I'll go ahead and go pick up Jackie and her family and Wilf and Jack and Torchwood and get them comfortable in here so I'll be back."

"I'll let them know that. I'll see you when you get back. Come on, Sweetie, I'll show you where you'll be living till you find a new home."

Amelia nodded. She waved to them and they waved back. They watched them leave and then the Doctor stood up.

"Let's go get your family, Rose," he said while they walked out of the living room.
