Gift of the Daleks

by Annienygma

The Doctor makes an unexpected discovery after the Reality Bomb test in the Dalek crucible; at least one Time Lord had escaped the Time War to settle upon the Earth in another dimension. Masquerading as humans they had even managed to raise children. Now, against all odds, one of those children has been pulled into the Doctor's world. 10th Doctor.

35. Tussles

Joanna Markus watched the Time Lord slam the female against the door from the observation center nearby. "Oh look, Tom, they're tussling," she commented to a nearby worker.

Tom came over and started watching the video feed. "Doesn't look like a simple tussle to me; seems like he might be hurting her. How much older is that male than the female? He seems a bit rough. Look at that tear on her cheek."

Joanna consulted her pad. "Not exactly sure; if he's the one we think he is then he's about a thousand years old."

"A thousand? That's like putting a bull in with a baby! That female has barely reached sexual maturity; she still has an intact hymen. Can't we just inseminate her? Breeding her natural seems a bit cruel, especially to such a rough one. We could stick them together after she drops her first; she won't have a hymen to pop after that."

"Don't be silly, Tom, she'll be fine," Joanna assured the man. "Look-" she pointed at the Doctor carrying Bella to the bedroom, "see how well he's tending her. You worry about them as if they were human. There is simply no comparison, so stop being such a softie."

"I do not consider them human, Joanna; I consider the bottom line." Tom retorted. "The happier and healthier we can keep that little female the more money we both make and you know it. That little thing's whelps are going to make us a lot of money but we won't make a penny if that male causes her to miscarry."

Joanna watched the screen for a bit. "You have a point. Keep a close eye on them; if you think he's too rough after she takes we'll separate them. That way we not only have a natural conception, we ensure a safe pregnancy. Does that sound reasonable?"

"Fair enough, Ms. Markus. Oh, by the way, that Time Agent sent you a message. Something about being promised a bonus?"

"Oh yes! Send the Captain an extra twenty thousand. He was quite prompt in retrieving the female and I want to keep him available for future acquisitions."

"Yes, Ms. Markus."

REVIEW ANSWER:

Shewolf: I am not exactly sure what I'm going to do yet. I hope to at least finish Ten's tenure in this story if that helps but the way this story keeps changing I never know where it will head tomorrow, much less the far future :)

Thanks to everyone for their reviews! I read every single one and send you all out hugs and Jelly babies every single time I get a new one. Take care!
