Chapter 14
Anchorage
It couldn't be, it just couldn't be. That evening one week ago was just a heat of the moment thing. Not lasting more than an hour and a half. But now Arabella found herself holding a stick that said 'Pregnant' in blue letters. She loved the Doctor but she wasn't ready for this.
What was worse was how was she going to tell him?
"Bella you ok?" Sarah asked, her voice sounded distant but she was standing right next to her.
Arabella nodded shakily, "He'll be expecting me back soon," Arabella finally said.
"Um ok, are you guys going to go off someplace?" asked Sarah.
"I dunno, maybe," she answered.
Arabella threw the stick away and she slowly walked back to the dining room. She picked up her cell phone and threw it in her purse. She said goodbye to Sarah and then she left the appartment complex.
Arabella stood outside the TARDIS, she was hesitant to go in. But she pulled out her key and put it inside the lock and the door opened. Arabella pulled the key out and walked in.
The Doctor was sitting in the captains chair reading a book. He looked up and smiled when he saw Arabella.
"This is a good book. Have you read it?" he asked.
Arabella looked at the book, "Emma by Jane Austen? Your reading Jane Austen?" she asked slowly.
"Well I've seen the movie, Toni Collette was brillant but Gweneath Paltrow. Well I mean she is a alien. What do you expect?" the Doctor answered.
"Yea anyways I'm going to go lie down," Arabella said.
The Doctor looked at her bewildered, "Baking makes you tired?" he asked.
"Yea," she lied.
Arabella walked by him and she walked to her room.
he just shrugged it off and turned back to his book.
A few hours later Arabella woke up praying this was all a dream, but she knew it wasn't. She slowly got up out of bed, and walked to the kitchen.
When she walked in the kitchen the Doctor was sitting at the table eating a banana, she almost wanted to walk right back out. But she couldn't, she had to tell him.
She got a glass of juice and then she sat down.
"Doctor, I need to tell you something," she said slowly.
The Doctor set the banana down, "I'm all ears," he answered.
"Um well for starters earlier I wasn't making cookies. Actully I had just taken a p-p-pregnancy test," she managed to get out.
The Doctor's smile dropped, "A-and?" he asked.
"It came back positive," she answered.
Now the Doctor looked sick, "Y-your pregnant?" he asked.
"Are you mad?" asked Arabella.
"No I'm not mad. Of course I'm not mad. I'm just surprised," he answered.
"Um can we go to Alaska? There's somebody there I need to see," she asked suddenly.
The Docotor nodded and he stood up. The two walked into the control room and he began to enter the coordinates.
"What city?" he asked, still clearly shocked he was going to be a father.
"Anchorage," she answered.
With that the Doctor entered a place and they left. A few minutes later Arabella was putting on a jacket and stepping outside.
Arabella stopped and looked aorund the city with a smile.
She looked around again and then headed for a community of houses.
She found house 237 and she walked up the path.
The Doctor stood nearby and Arabella knocked on the door.
There was a dog barking and a child yelling that some black haired freak was at the door.
Then a girl who looked to be in her early to mid 30's came to the door.
The girl had semi dark skin and frizzled brown hair.
"Can I help you?" she girl asked.
"Amber it's me," Arabella said.
"Me? Me who?" the girl asked.
"It's me Arabella! I've regenerated," she answered.
Amber looked taken a back for a moment but then she just laughed. Then she threw her arms around her friend and hugged her.
"When did you get in?" Amber asked as she let go of her friend.
"Oh about two minutes ago. But I need to tell you something hang on," Arabella answered.
Then she popped her head out the door.
"Doctor would you mind going back to the TARDIS? I need to talk to Amber alone," Arabella yelled out the door.
He looked hesitant, after all this woman was carrying his child.
But then he nodded and began to walk off.
"She sure did go through one crazy mood swing," he said to himself.
Arabella closed the door and turned back to her friend who now had a frozen look on her face.
"Whats the matter?" asked Arabella.
"You said TARDIS, but I seem to remeber yours going down with the Titanic," Amber said.
"Oh no thats not mine, that happens to be one of the things I need to talk to you about," answered Arabella.
"Ok well let me call Hollie. I know she'll want to see you," Amber said.
She picked up the phone and quickly dialed a number.
About ten minutes later Hollie was coming in the house, followed by 5 kids.
The children ran outside to play with their cousins and Arabella and her friends sat down to talk.
"Ok well heres the thing, I found a Time Lord that survived the war. We met at the museam, and for the first time in 30 years, I've fallen in love," Arabella said.
Hollie's jaw dropped, Amber looked hurt for a moment but then she smiled.
"Was that the Doctor guy you were yelling at? Is he the one your in love with?" Amber asked.
Arabella nodded, "Yea. Been together for about five months now. But thats the other thing, you see the other day we went a bit to far. If you catch my drift and uh...well now I'm pregnant," Arabella explained.
Amber's jaw dropped and Hollie just started to laugh.
"Hollie why is this funny?" Arabella asked.
Hollie just kept laughing, "She's a idiot. Ignore her, so uh what are you going to do?" Amber asked.
"Well keep it. Weather he wants to be a dad or not," answered Arabella.
The Doctor sat in the TARDIS control room thinking.
"I'm gonna be a dad, blimey I hope it likes me," he said out loud. For the first time in his life he was absolutely terrified he would fail at something quite important.
This was almost as scary as the Cybermen and the Daleks. By just an inch this was almost as terrifying as that. His mind began to wander and as it did it began to race through names.
"I have to ask, have you forgotten about Joseph?" asked Amber suddenly.
Arabella looked taken a back for a moment, "Heavens no! I will always love Joseph. But I love the Doctor to and I think Joseph would want this for me. You know, for me to be happy," Arabella answered.
"Ok I just wanted to clear that up," Amber said.
"Mommy!!! Lizzie hit me!" a child's voice yelled through the house.
"Well tell her I said stop it or she's going to bed with no dinner!" Hollie yelled back.
"Um what are the chances we can go inside this TARDIS?" asked Amber.
"Yea sure, but the kids can't come," Arabella answered.
"Victoria, Will, watch the kids. We have to go out real quick!" Amber yelled up the stairs.
Then she and her sister put on their coats and shoes and they walked outside.
"So where's Kyler and Koby?" asked Arabella.
"Work," answered Hollie.
Just as they started a new conversation the TARDIS came into view.
"It looks just like your's," Amber said.
"On the outside, the inside is really differant," Arabella replied.
Finally the three girls reached the door. Arabella pulled out her key and unlocked the door.
When she opened the door she walked in and was greeted by the Doctor.
"I have decided that I am so incredibly excited about this and that I will take the best care of you and the baby," he announced. Then without even seeing Arabella's friends he pulled Arabella into an embrace and then a long kiss.
After about 30 seconds they pulled apart, "Um thats great but uh my friends are here. Amber and Hollie want to see the TARDIS," Arabella said.
"Oh sorry," he answered as he let go of Arabella.
Amber stood there clearly uncomfertble.
"Hold on a sec, your the girls from the video," the Doctor said.
Hollie looked puzzled, "What video?" she asked.
"He saw one of our home video's," Arabella answered.
"How is that possible? I thought the rest of the Time Lords were dead," the Doctor said.
"Oh yea they are, but Amber and Hollie aren't time lords," Arabella replied.
"But you said Joseph-"
"Joseph and Christian were Time Lords. Dad was a Time Lord, mum was human. Some sort of weird science thing. They had four children, two were Time Lords and two were human. Before the war Joseph and I took Amber, Hollie and their husbands to safety. We met when we were 15, on Gallifrey," Arabella explained.
"Oh uh alright," the Doctor answered.
Amber looked around the TARDIS, "I've always loved this science. Bigger on the inside," Amber said.
The Doctor watched as the two sisters looked around the control room.
"Thanks for this, I thought I would never get to see one of these ever again," Amber said.
"Your welcome," Arabella and the Doctor replied.
As the months progressed Arabella and the Doctor had their fare share of ailien encounters. But always returning to New York and Alaska to give their friends updates...
