I realise this is about 80% pinkwald and for that I have no apologies ;) There are more plans though I assure you. And the Doctor is going to make a big impact soon.

Chapter 12

The weekend came. 2 days down the line and it was finally Saturday and she could finally feel like she wasn't doing nothing for no reason. The last 2 days hadn't been totally dull, they'd basically been spent talking, talking a lot. Danny and Clara had taken the time to get to know each other so they did that, except Clara was all too aware Danny hadn't actually told her what his last job was but he'd tell her in time, like she'd reveal her big secret eventually. Even 2 days worth of talking couldn't begin to cover that. However she did now know they both liked the same kind of music, and that it really annoys Danny if you change a TV program half way through (which she had already used at least twice). And now she was lying in bed at 8am on a Saturday morning enjoying the comfort of his arms. They'd spent every night in this position, only now Danny didn't need to be waking her up every 2 hours so it really was just for the sake of it. Danny was still asleep right now, which he fully deserved given he'd done basically everything for the both of them since they'd been back from the hospital. Clara was finally going to be back to work on Monday - her headache had faded to a dull ache and she could now walk around, albeit not too quickly, without being in pain. Therefore she had decided she couldn't get away with being waited on hand and foot anymore and needed to make up for everything that had been done for her.
At around half 8 she creeped out of bed, grabbing her dressing gown on the way through and made her way to the kitchen. Looking through the fridge and the cupboards she found the makings of a cooked breakfast and started to cook everything up, trying to be as quiet as possible so as not to wake Danny up. Personally she wasn't all that hungry so she didn't cook too much for herself, but he deserved a treat.
Half an hour later and she'd managed to plate everything up and get it on the tray. She hadn't actually considered how she was going to carry it through to the bedroom but that would only be a temporary pain. Eventually Clara managed to organise herself enough to carry everything through.
"Oi sleeping beauty, breakfast is served." Danny looked up almost reluctantly at first, but Clara could tell the moment it actually registered on his face what was going on. "Before you tell me off, I don't care I haven't cooked in 3 days and I miss it. And if I'm back to work in 2 days I need to at least be able to cook for myself."
"I was just going to take the tray from you because that looks heavy..." Danny reached up and took it from her.
"Oh. Sorry. I did warn you about my mouth so you can't say you weren't prepared." When she was sure he had the tray, Clara walked back round the bed and climbed on what had become her side of the bed.
"I sure could get used to this..."
"What, my big mouth?" Clara grinned, taking her plate off the tray.
"No, not having to make my own breakfast, especially one as nice as this. Thank you." Danny smiled and gave her a quick kiss before tucking in. "Still not hungry?" He looked over and nodded at Clara's plate.
"Nah. I'll survive don't worry, I normally eat enough to feed an army so I'm sure I have storage."
"I'd never have known. " Danny smiled and they both continued eating.

An hour or so later and Clara was contemplating moving. The sort of lie in had been good but it was now 10am and that was late for her. Danny had popped back over to his to find clothes and the shower so she had about an hour to kill (for someone with little hair he took a long time in the shower. As she started to work on getting up, an unexpected knock was heard. There was no way she had time to pull some proper clothes on so answering the door in her dressing gown it was! Eventually she made it down the hall to find Rachel on the other side of the door.

"Home visit from the boss, I must be seriously ill or something. Especially considering the look you're currently giving me…" Clara moved out of the way for Rachel to come inside the flat. "Actually who let you in the building?"

"Someone was leaving as I arrived... I have to say I wasn't expecting you to come to the door, where's Danny? How're you doing?" Rachel shut the door and followed her through to the lounge.

"Showering and changing. Sorry I've not really got dressed yet; things happen a lot slower at the moment. My head no longer feels like it's about to explode which is a good start. Coffee?"

"Oh no don't worry I'll make it." Clara was having none of it.

"I managed a fried breakfast this morning I can do coffee don't worry. Have a seat." She must have looked determined enough because Rachel did indeed go and sit down. "I know why you came over you know? You could have phoned to find out how I was." To be honest this was looking like a very awkward conversation, she'd certainly managed to make her mark with the head teacher here. Sure, she'd been taught to do so, but this probably wasn't what they had meant.

"What you said before we left on Wednesday…" Rachel looked incredibly nervous it was almost sweet.

"Hoping I was under the influence of pain? No. Danny and I were in the pub on Tuesday night, but don't fear, I have no intention of saying anything to anyone. Although under the influence of pain I realise I may have slightly hinted to Tom and Davina… but they didn't ask for any more information. So I believe you're safe. I also believe you and Eddie are great so don't let me stop you." Clara took the coffee over and sat down slowly. No sooner had she sat down she heard the door opening, Danny was back.

"Right I was thinking I need to get you to eat something so where do you want to go for lunch we'll go… oh, hi Rachel. Sorry. Didn't realise you were coming?" Danny looked incredibly embarrassed, bless him.

"Don't worry, I'm just going. Things to do, places to be, people to see…" Rachel winked at Clara who grinned back.

"Go for it girl. See you Monday, where I promise to be more professional and not cause complete chaos." Rachel nodded and headed out. "So, lunch…"

Idk how I feel about this chapter but never mind… get ready for the next chapter.
