They managed to pull the Earth back to its place. Everything was happy, the whole atmosphere was bubbling and Jenny couldn't help but laugh as she fingered the ever present silver chain on her neck.
The Doctor was saying goodbye to Jack and Martha when Mickey scooped her up in a hug.
"Be good for your parents Jenny. Give those monsters hell from me" he said pressing a kiss on her cheek
"You're leaving us?" she asked
"I got nothing left in the parallel world and I don't want to get in the way of the family bliss on the TARDIS. Besides…" he glanced over to where Martha once stood.
"You go and get her tiger" Jenny said teasingly, he shot her a warning look "no seriously go and get her Uncle Mickey"
Mickey pulled her into one more hug before running out. Jenny let out another laugh, she seriously couldn't believe she's home.

She should have known it wasn't going to last. Her Dad said one last stop and he landed on that dreaded Bad Wolf Bay. Her grandmother was annoyed but kept babbling about Lily.
"I was pregnant, remember?" she said to the blue suited Doctor "I had a girl, we named her Tardis"
"Did you?" the blue suited Doctor asked raising his eyebrows in surprise
"No, we named her Lily"
"The cracks are closing" Donna said "we've got to go"
"You're not leaving me" Rose snapped
Jenny couldn't believe what was happening. Her father was leaving her mother with his human self thinking it would be better. But her mother wasn't human, not anymore…Jenny's stomach clenched as she watched her mother kiss the human version of her father and her father turning to leave.
"No Dad don't leave her here" Jenny said clinging to his sleeve "don't make me leave my Mum"
"I won't because you're staying with them" he said flatly "Jenny you're half-human now. You're going to age and die with them"
"I won't because Mum isn't-"
"It's going to be a fantastic life" he interrupted "he's going to raise you properly. He's good for your mother. We Time Lords have a trick to see time lines let me show you"
She nodded; he pressed his hands against her temples and showed her moments. Family moments. Her graduation, her mother's wedding to this human version, her mother's pregnancy….
He pulled back not bearing to see anymore. Because he so wanted that life but he couldn't have it. He kissed Jenny's forehead and ran into the TARDIS not looking back.
Jenny's mind was still trapped in the time line. And she saw everything fantastic turn into such horror. And she screamed. The horror, the horror. She fell to the floor screaming. The voices above her were distant like a haze.
"Jenny, Jenny it's me Mum, please Jenny what's wrong?"
"Her mind is stuck in a time line"
"Can you get her out?"
"Yes"
Hands pressed against her temples and she felt herself be pulled back. Everything was so hazy…
"I'm going to have to block what she saw from her mind"
"You can do that?"
"I'm Time Lord enough"
She felt the pressure go away and fell into the darkness, finding safety from pain there.

Three weeks. Three long weeks since Jenny was left by her father. The abandonment stun. She couldn't understand how her mother could be so…so happy with this impostor.
Jenny had thrown the silver chain out of the window. No need for it now. She threw herself into re-building Earth. Cline's death still hurts. The deaths of so many hurts.
There was a light knock on the door.
"Come in" she called staring at her reflection. Behind her the impostor entered "yes?"
"Jenny, I know I'm not your father in your mind…but I wish to be"
He pulled something out of his pocket. Something silver and her throat felt dry as she saw the chain. He pulled a round object and slipped it on the chain.
"I know you see no need for this chain…but I wanted to give you a…token"
He pressed it into her hands. It was a round silver locket with her name inscribed it. Jennifer Martha Tyler. She opened it to see a small picture of her mother and a small picture of her father in opposite sides. She closed it.
"Put it on me please" she whispered.
He did. He kissed her quickly on her temple. She fingered it lightly and smiled up at him.
"Thank you…Dad"
That night she had a nightmare. And when she woke she forgot it, all she knew was such terror was coming. She traced her name on the locket.
Jennifer Martha Tyler.
