Chapter TWENTY FIVE
Good evening! How are you all! As promised. Here is another chapter! Hope this makes up for being late! Enjoy! ;)
In some subconscious part of my mind, I knew I had been shot. I knew I was most probably dead on the TARDIS floor and I also knew that the Doctor would most probably be rampaging. This was only known in the small part of my brain though; most of it was filled with memories. Memories that were both old and new. Old because they came from so long ago, back when the Time Lords were still a race rather than two people and back when Gallifrey was fine. New because I had forgotten them until now... Everything I did, my children, my husband, every single thing I had done in all my 700+ years, but with the good memories came the bad. Every bad thing I have ever done, every death which was partly my fault, every unnecessary injury of the innocent. Plus what I did to the Darkness, how I had destroyed their home and most of their race when they had threatened to kill my son...
I was pulled out of my thoughts as I felt a subconscious pull, dragging me to, who knows were. For the first time in what felt like ages, I opened my eyes. There were no memories clouding my vision, they just lurked in my thoughts. In front of me was a bright light and, as my eyes adjusted I realised it was a light you would expect to find on a ceiling. I was confused at this, until I came to the conclusion I was lying down...
"Hello?" I said as I looked around me. I appeared to be in the medical bay of the TARDIS and I was currently atop one of the beds.
When I got no reply I swung my legs over the side and stood up, narrowly avoiding falling over as the blood rushed to my head. I walked through the door and wandered down the corridor wearing a pair of loose white shorts and a strap top. Hmm, someone must've changed me...
As I walked round the third corner I stopped a smile spreading across my face as I spotted them. The Doctor, Amy, Rory and Jack. My friends. The Doctor was holding three glasses of water and nearly spilled them as he walked into the others, who had stopped and were now staring at me completely gobsmacked. He looked between them before following their gazes, all of which rested on me. This time he did drop the glasses. I ran full sprint towards him and jumping up so my legs rapped around his waist as he caught me.
"Doctor!" I exclaimed as I buried my face in his shoulder.
"Um, I don't..." he said, befuddled as he rested me on the floor, looking down at me.
"So..." I stated, looking at their puzzled faces. "What did I miss?"
"Kim! The Doctor exclaimed "You've been out for 2 months!"
"2 MONTHS!" I exclaimed back "What the hell happened?"
The Doctors point of view: A few months back.
I heard Kim come through the TARDIS doors as I set the time machine in motion. I breathed a sigh of relief, we'd made it, we were safe and could go about our norma- Well, not so normal lives. All of us failed to notice how Kim was lying (unconscious) against the TARDIS doors, until I turned round to face her. At first I thought she was just tired, upon further inspection I noticed the patch of red spreading across her chest.
"Oh my god!" I shouted as I leaped over the railing, closely followed by Rory.
Rory instantly checked her pulse.
"She has a pulse..." he started, though he had, had trouble finding it "But it's extremely weak! Won't she regenerate?"
"Regeneration is a complex thing; while she's pregnant it would most likely injure or kill the baby. Her body's trying to put the baby first and risking both their lives in the process..."
I jumped up instantly and sprinted to the console, darting round it like a greyhound on a track, typing in the co-ordinates for Sister's of the Infinite Scyscim Hospital as I went, praying to Rassilion she would be okay.

Everyone jumped as I kicked open the doors to the hospital, carrying Kim in my arms with Rory keeping a constant monitoring over her pulse, which by now was near silent. One of the sister's ran up, instantly spotting who I was and then realising the condition of the girl I held in my arms. She instantly called over a senior sister and immediately after led us to a room.
"What happened Doctor?" She asked as I walked quickly beside her.
"Long story short, she got shot, oh and she's also pregnant... and a Time Lord." I said as I rounded the corner into the room before laying her down on the bed.
"Time Lord?" She asked, I just replied with a nod as the group of sisters worked around her "You are the last of your kind!"
"Well now there are two of us, but there won't be much longer if you don't help her, go!" I said, as she fluttered into the group, calling out to them about the patient.
After a while, they had taken Kim of to surgery, out of every hospital in the universe, this one knew the most about a Time Lord anatomy, I just hope that'll be enough...
DWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDWDW
Kim had returned from surgery, deathly pale, but alive... just. After must persuasion the Doctors had allowed us to take her back to the TARDIS, after all she was the one who knew the most about our race. The TARDIS promised me she would look after Kim to the best of her ability, and would give her everything she needed. All I had to do was wait... Harder then it seems.

"Rory?" Amy yelled, barely able to hear herself think with all the crashes coming from behind her.
"Yeah, Amy is everything okay?" he asked, struggling to hear over the bad line. I wasn't helping.
"Yeah Rory, just get back here, just forget the shopping and run, he's trashing the place, Jack's trying to calm him down."She said, stopping when she heard a clatter followed by a large smash. "Err, I gotta go, that sounded expensive!" She yelled into the phone as she started to run.
She found me in the kitchen, finally sitting still, for the first time in about 20 minutes. Jack was quietly sweeping glass of the floor; the whole surfaces were smashed in. Amy quietly came and sat at the table, by me.
"Hey." She said as she sat next to me. I ignored her. "She'll be okay you know..."
"She's been in a coma for two months!" I shouted, as Amy flinched, before trying to calm me back down.
"She, just needs to rest, grab some water, calm yourself down and we'll go see how she is. Okay?" She asked, directing me to the tap.
"Okay..." I replied
Kim's point of view: Now.
"Anyway, eventually you came out of the surgery and everything went fine, so I bought you back to the TARDIS and she made sure you got everything you needed." The Doctor said.
"And I was in a coma for two months!" I said as I leant against the console chair, now changed and raring to go.
"Your mind needed time to rest; you'd been through a phenomenal amount." The Doctor replied.
"But I'm fine now?" I asked him.
"I asked the TARDIS to do a scan and yes, your 110%!" He said, happily, smiling for what must've been the first in ages.
"Hang on?" I said, as I remembered something, how could I have ever forgotten. The baby "Is the baby okay?" I asked, timidly, knowing I was probably white as a sheet and not particularly wanting to know the answer.
"The baby's fine!" he assured me, as I breathed a sigh of relief. "Your body put the bay first, nearly killing you in the process..."
"Thank Rassilion for that!" I said, with a laugh, before breathing out deeply.
"Yep you're both fit and healthy!" the Doctor replied, obviously overjoyed.
"Can we go somewhere then?" I asked "It's nothing big, no adventure no running, I just wanted to pop into Cardiff to see a friend."
"And who is this friend?" he asked, as I realised I'd never mentioned her before.
"Oh, her name's Kiera, we want to college together. I haven't seen her in ages and it would be nice to talk to someone normal well, normalish, no offense!" I said as the Doctor raced round the console.
"No it would be good for you! We'll all come. Next stop... Cardiff!"
OHHH! A friend? Who is this I wonder? Let the completely barmy and, believe it or not quite planned adventure continue! I've been really happy with the amount of reviews I've been getting, can we keep it up? Of course we can! We're all epic!
