A/N My turn again! Ninewood!

Chapter Fourteen

Theta watched Alan sitting with Adam when he turned and walked down the hallway. He walked inside the control room when he walked to the console and sat down on the jump seat. He placed his head in his hands as the new tears fell from his eyes and he felt Daisy sending love into his mind. He wiped his eyes as he looked at the rotor and the lights moved behind the glass. Suddenly something beeped and a blue light appeared in front of him. He watched while the light changed into an image of the Doctor and he blinked.

"Brother, if you are listening to this, then I am already gone. I can't stay here. Not without Rain. She is, and always will be, my lives mate. I can't, I won't, live without her. I have to find her! Just like you had to find Frankie when she was taken by those space slavers. Blimey, you were so pissed. I had to nearly sedate you once we found them. Wonder if they ever found that one guy's eyes. Where was I? Oh, yes, I want you to be here for Alan. He is going to need all the help he can get. I know that you care for him as much as you do Adam. Remember when we decided that we were going to share custody of them?" Theta nodded while he smiled and wiped the tears from his eyes. "He will be ok, I know he will, but make sure that he doesn't go off and do something stupid. Not that Alan is stupid. He's brilliant! Adam is, too. Speaking of him, if you need to take him to a care home, I have left a list of several good places for him. But, seeing how often he's been knocked out, that has been a lot, hasn't it, he'll wake up soon. Have I been talking that long? This was going to be a short note but it's grown into a ramble. So, I'll just say this. Stay where you are and keep an eye on things, ok? You're the Doctor now! Bye"

Theta watched while the image faded when he sat back in the jump seat then got up and walked out of the doors. He walked into the house when he walked to the door that led to the backyard and looked at the others gathered around the swimming pool.

"I can't believe he's gone," Rose said.

"I knew he would. It was only a matter of time," Jackie whispered and Pete hushed her.

"What do we do now?" Donna asked.

"We go on," Theta said as he walked closer and they looked at him. John glared at him as Theta wiggled a finger at him and John walked to him. "What's with the growling?"

"Tell me! How long before YOU abandon us?!" John demanded and Theta blinked.

"I'd never do that."

"Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure! Right! We're nothing but clones and baggage to you! Admit it!" John shouted, shoving him and Theta fell backwards into the pool.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Jack shouted as Theta came to the surface and Jack and Ianto helped him out of the pool. Madison had gone to get Theta a towel as she wrapped it around him and John glared at him.

"I am sick of the lot of you!" John shouted, taking Tara's hand and stormed off toward the house.

"Where are you going?" Theta shouted.

"Home and I hope I NEVER see any of you again!" John shouted as they left and Theta sat down hard on the lounge.

"Bugger," Theta whispered as Rose sat down next to him and held him. He placed his head on her shoulder while he looked at the others and started to get the feeling that, no matter what he did, their families were falling apart.

Rain knew she had to be careful. She had no idea where they were but she could sense they were near and stood near the tree. She held the water gun tightly in her hands as she leaned against the tree and closed her eyes. She could hear the wind in the trees and the gentle thump of her hearts as she tried to hear their footsteps but heard nothing and sighed.

"Should we tell her?" a voice whispered above her and she opened her eyes, looking up. Suddenly a blast of cold water hit her in the face as someone laughed and she growled.

"Gotcha, Snot Ball!" Alan shouted when he jumped out of the tree and ran. Adam gasped when he hung upside down from catching his jeans on a branch and she looked at him, pointing the water gun at him.

"Y-you wouldn't," Adam said with wide eyes as she smiled and placed the water gun down against the tree. Carefully, she climbed up the tree when she freed him and he grunted after falling to the ground. She climbed down when she walked to him but Adam didn't move and she knelt down next to him.

"Adam? Te'lesau, are you alright?" Rain asked as she shook him but he didn't wake up. She moved closer when his eyes snapped open and he reached up, pulling her down on top of him. She squealed as he tickled her then they rolled over and he knelt over her.

"Gotcha!" Adam said as he got up, grabbed the two water guns then ran off and she sat up. Laughing, she watched him run to Alan, who was waiting for him, and they ran into the trees.

"They are both bonkers." Rain said, shaking her head then got up and…

Lara's eyes snapped open as she sat up and looked at the darkness. She had no idea who those two men were but, whoever they were, she felt love for them.

"Were they my…brothers?" Lara whispered when there was a knock on the cupboard door and she opened the door. Callum reached out his hand as she took it and he led her out of the cupboard. "Master, can I ask you something?"

"Yes, what is it?" Callum asked, moving a finger along her jaw line.

"Do I have any brothers or sisters?"

"Uh-oh, is she remembering something?" Callum thought as he looked at her and she waited for his answer.

"No, you don't," Callum said.

"Oh, the reason I ask is I had this dream about these two men and…."

Lara gasped as he slapped her hard enough to make her fall to the floor and he knelt over her, pinning her shoulders to the floor.

"The only man in your life is me! Do you understand?!" Callum shouted and his spit landed on her face,

"Ye-yes, Master, I am sorry!" Lara said as he pulled her up and shoved her against the wall. She was waiting for him to punish her but he only kissed her hard and his tongue slid into her mouth. She moaned as his hand slid down her pants and he rubbed her crotch. He moved back as she looked at him and he smiled,

"Who is the only man in your life?" he purred and she sighed.

"You are, Master."

"Good girl!" he said as he took her hand and they walked down the hallway but her mind couldn't stop thinking about who those two men in her dream. Who were they and why did she feel like something had happened to the one that had gotten stuck in the tree?

Walking down the hallway, Alan stopped at the window and looked at Marion standing near the bed. She agreed that Adam should stay in Daisy's med bay and Martha had told her how to the range of motion exercises he needed so his muscles wouldn't deteriorate. He watched while she talked softly to Adam but Adam just laid there and he placed his hand on the glass. Closing his eyes, Alan reached out for Adam's mind but couldn't find it and sighed.

"Alan?" Marion asked as he opened his eyes and looked at her. Her eyes were red as he stroked her cheek and she sadly smiled.

"How is he?" Alan asked, looking at Adam.

"He's still asleep. I have been talking to him but I'm not sure he can hear me."

"This isn't the first time he's been like this, eh?"

"No, he was in a coma when his appendix went bad. That only lasted four days."

"So, we just have to wait a few days and he'll wake up, right? I mean I really need to talk to him."

"What happened?" Marion asked as he told her and her eyes grew dark. "I can't believe he did that!"

"He thinks we've turned against him."

"That's bullocks!"

"I know but I also think he just needs to get away for a bit. You know, to clear his head. He'll come back. He will!" Alan said as he thumped his fist against the glass and she walked closer. He looked at her when she slid her arms around him and held him. Feeling the tears in his eyes, Alan wrapped his arms around her as he looked at Adam and sniffed. "He will."

Walking slowly down the hallway, Frazer peeked inside the bedroom and stood against the door frame. He looked at the pink walls with the purple sideboards and the pink and purple bladed ceiling fan. The wooden shelves were crammed with books and nick knacks and photographs hung in frames on the wall. The largest photograph was of him, Angel, Elizabeth, Tony, Dorothy and James and all six of them were smiling, arms wrapped around each other. They had been to Scotland for the Highland games and Frazer had won several trophies, which pissed off his brother, Ian, because he didn't win any. An old doll house sat in the one corner as he looked at it and sighed. The old dollhouse was the home for her two chibis, Alan and Rose, but they were gone now. They had gone to live with the rest of the chibis that lived with them when Alan and Adam had found a planet populated with them. He knew that Angel missed her little friends but the Doctor did take her to visit them and was surprised to find that her chibis had two tiny chibi babies called "Tenna" and "Latara".

"Hey," Frazer said softly as he looked at Angel, who was lying on her stomach on the bed, and walked to the bed. It had a blue and purple duvet on it and the pillows were covered in blue and purple pillowcases. He sat down on the edge of the bed as she looked at the wall and he gently stroked her back.

"It's all falling apart," Angel whispered.

"Rubbish. Your mum told me what happened. Ken what I think? I think he's just going away for a bit of a holiday tae clear his head. He'll come back," he said and she rolled onto her back.

"What if he doesn't? What if Uncle John never comes back? What if Uncle Adam doesn't wake up? What if…" Frazer gently placed a finger on her lips as he hushed her and she rolled over so she was facing the wall. Taking his boots off, he slid onto the bed as he snuggled next to her and slid his arm around her. She felt him pull her into him as she sighed and he kissed the back of her head. "You know what I want to do?"

"What does Pebbles want to do?" Frazer asked and she softly laughed. Alan started calling them Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm when Frazer was four and she was two and she snuggled closer, holding Frazer's hand in hers.

"I want to leave. I can't stand all this fighting! I just want to go somewhere and disappear!" Angel shouted as she turned onto her side and buried her face into his chest. She started sobbing hard as he rubbed her back and she pounded his shoulder. He looked at the ceiling while he thought about just up and leaving with all that was going on and blinked.

"Dinnae get me wrong but doesnae that seem selfish? Your aunt's already missing and my uncle's in a coma. Mebbe what we need tae do is stay here an' see how things work out."

"And if they don't?"

"Then we'll go."

"What's with the "we" stuff? I'm the one that wants to leave," she said as she playfully slapped his chest and he smiled.

"Pebbles go somewhere without her Bamm-Bamm? Never happen!" he said as she laughed and he brushed her hair from her eyes.

"So, if things go south, you'll come with me?"

"Yep!" he said, popping the "p" and she closed her eyes. He listened to her breathing as she fell asleep and he kissed her forehead. Gently stroking her hair, he wondered if things would ever be the same again then sighed, closing his eyes, and drifted off to sleep.
