"Doctor!" Tegan jerked up in bed a month later. It had to be about midnight. "Doctor!"

"Calm down; I'm here!" Five sat up and put his arm around her.

She put her hand on her stomach. After a trip to earth and lying, saying that she was four months in instead of two (which was about the equivalent in human time), her and Five found out there was only one child, but with a double heartbeat. They didn't know the gender, agreeing that they'd let it be a surprise.

Tegan shook her head. "No... It was only just a nightmare... Just a dream... I'm fine." She laid back down.

He watched her. "What happened in it?"

"The autons took me and it, right after birth... It was a boy; he was exactly like you. I closed my eyes for just a second, and he was gone..."

"Gone?" Five asked, concerned. Maybe this meant something.

"He was with him... The Master. Not like we knew him, though. He was younger. But I could just tell it was him... And he was there with the snake."

The Master and the snake. Those were the two things she shouldn't have seen. They were the two things that'd do her the most harm. "It's probably just your fears..."

"Do you honestly think so?"

"It's very possible... We'll do out best to keep them away, I swear," he kissed her.

"Just stay with me, Doc. Nothing really happened to me while you were here."

Thank Rassilon she thought that way. She just needed to continue believing that.


Five told the rest of the Time Lords, Turlough, and Nyssa, about the dream the next morning. Ten, who explained to Five that he was the only Time Lord left after the Time War, said that it wouldn't be too significant. "I sent the Master back to the Time War. There's no way he can come back."

"Has that ever stopped him before?" Eleven asked.

... Crap. He was right.

Donna thought. "Well, all we can do as of now is be as on guard as possible. Just watch out for anything like that. Try to watch where the TARDIS goes... If that's possible."

Five nodded and whispered, "I think she'll be careful enough with location. She won't let me down; she hasn't before."


Dun! Well, getting any hints? By the way, expect the sister story tomorrow!
