Timelady!Rose and Human!Doctor AU pt III

John has been shouting at his cell phone for the last ten minutes.

He's called it all sorts of nasty names, run his hands through his hair so that it stand straight up, and the Doctor is fairly certain that at one point it shouted oh, blow me, spaceman, to which John's response was a fairly impressive list of swears punctuated with the occasional splutter and that face she's only previously seen when John accidentally bites into a pear.

"Problem?" she asks, as he breathes rather heavily in the general direction of his mobile. "I'm assuming from the response someone has kicked a varied selection of puppies you're particularly fond of?"

"First of all, Doctor, if you knew me at all, you'd know that I'm fond of all puppies. They're puppies. Second of all, my…family…wants to meet you."

Grinning, the Doctor's hand slid under John's suit jacket, her fingers scraping lightly across the back of his trousers. "I've met your Dad, he's lovely."

He grimaces, before burying his face in her hair and mumbling something incoherently.

"What's that?"

"I said," he groaned quietly. "It's not my dad I'm worried about."

His sister, it turns out, is called Donna. She's loud and brassy and calls him spaceman, and the Doctor couldn't have asked for a better ally if she'd special ordered her from the universe personally.
