Chapter 51 – Drinking Games

Tony smacked the bar. "We need to get the Good Doctor caught up. He's been off making out with his girl in the closet."

"We weren't snogging in the cupboard." The Doctor began.

Tony mocked him in a bad British accent. "We weren't snogging in the cupboard …. Where were you then, cold cheese?"

He shook his head. "Nevermind. I'm having a problem with Friday. He keeps calling me sir."

Tony smiled, "Yeah. I've been messing with you. Rose told me you hated that, so I ask him several times a day to call you sir. So, are we drinking or what?"

The Doctor tossed his good hand in the air. "Fucking hell."

Jake slapped the bar. "Drinking game to get the Doctor caught up."

The Doctor held up his finger. "Hang on. Rose wanted in on the next drinking game. Let me get her."

Jake groaned, "Oh, don't do your weird mind talking shit. That's just creepy."

Tony laughed, "I think it's pretty cool."

Jake shook his head. "Hang around longer, it gets sick."

Jack agreed. "Yeah, they start talking dirty using it and you can tell. Granted, I'd do the same thing."

Pete laughed. "I shouldn't laugh about this."

Rose walked in holding Sam. Jack looked down at the baby and tickled his cheek.

"Drinking game, huh? I'm sorry guys, I can't play. I'm nursing." Rose told them.

Tony pointed to the Doctor. "Well, they've never proved that harms the baby. Have they Doc'?"

"Well….." he started.

Rose interrupted, "It doesn't matter what he says. Someone has to get up with this child tonight because John is going to sleep."

Jack laughed at Rose calling the Doctor, 'John'. "John doesn't sleep much. You'll be fine."

Tony shook his head. "He's not sleep in what? Nine days now?"

"Something like that. It's been a while." The Doctor agreed.

"Tony, you don't know what you are talking about. He's not slept well in five months." Rose told him.

Jake looked at the Doctor. "Missed us, huh?"

Jack smiled, "Dude. That's sweet!"

The Doctor laid his forehead to Rose's head. "Save me."

Tony pointed at Rose. "She can play the drinking game. She'll be the game master. If anyone can cook up something the Good Doctor has to drink to, it's probably her. Go on Rose. Get him sauced up."

He looked back at her and ran his hand through his hair. "This is not what I had in mind."

One couldn't deny the evil grin that spread across Rose's face. "Alright. But, you lot have to come in the sitting room and get comfortable."

"Right!" all of them said at once and ran into the sitting room together.

The Doctor followed them in disbelief, shaking his head. "Guys. I could just drink and get caught up like normal people do."

Tony laughed, "Like normal people do. Name one thing you do like a normal person."

The Doctor rubbed his chin and looked at Rose. "Well, she says I'm a good kisser."

Rose sat in the chair holding Sam who was putting his hand in her mouth. "I wouldn't call that a normal thing. It's better than that." Rose smiled at him.

He blushed as he sat on the end of the sofa next to Pete and Tony. Howie still snored on the other sofa. Jake and Jack sat next to Howie, perpendicular to the first sofa.

Jack waved his hand. "Please. Don't continue this conversation."

Pete nodded his head. "Agreed! On with the drinking game, Rose! But, I'm not playing. Somethings about me, you don't need to know."

Rose laughed, "Oh, I completely agree with that, Dad. Okay, first question. I have never, ever performed surgery on myself."

Jack, The Doctor and Tony all took a drink.

They all looked at one another and smiled.

Rose laughed, "Oh, I have one. Take a drink if you wear glasses. Even to read."

The Doctor sighed and took a drink.

Jack pointed at him. "See, I think that's just crap. I think you just wear them to make you look smarter."

The Doctor rolled his eyes. "I'm an old man, Jack. Old men often wear glasses."

Jack argued, "Old man my ass. This body is what? Six months old?"

He waved his hand. "Not talking about that." He looked back at Tony. "You wear contacts. You didn't take a shot."

Tony looked surprised at him. "How the hell do you know that?"

"I can see them. When you stand in certain lights. I imagine that's why you wear sunglasses all of the time. But, I still can't figure out why you wear them at night. That's just odd."

Tony smiled, "Oh. So close, Doc'. I knew you would figure that out."

The Doctor narrowed his eyes at Tony. "Huh."

Jake laughed and shook his head. "Too easy. I have one. I have never, ever rode a mechanical bull."

Jake and Jack toasted their glasses and took a drink.

Tony shook his head, "No. I've never, ever been ridden like a mechanical bull!"

Pete laughed, "And I'm out of here! I'll go attend to the ladies. Have a good time."

They all laughed.

Tony chuckled, "See. You just have to ask the right question. So, who drank to that?"

Rose pointed at the Doctor and laughed. He rubbed his face, laughing quietly.

Tony took a drink and shook his head. "Okay Rose, next question."

Rose smiled, "Oh, I have a good one. I've never, ever shaved a lady's legs before."

The Doctor blushed as he pointed at Rose. "You are mean." He took a drink.

Tony looked back at him, "What? You did what?"

"She was pregnant. She asked me to do it. I found that I liked it. I hope she lets me continue doing it."

Rose smiled at him, "Oh, I will."

"Gross!" Jack demanded.

Tony looked impressed, "What? Like in the shower? I'll have to try that. Sounds hot."

The Doctor bit his lip and rubbed his face. "Yeah."

Rose laughed, "Okay, I've never, ever…. Licked something to identify it."

"I've not done that in days!" The Doctor defended himself.

Rose smiled at him. "You did that this morning! Just take the drink, you."

"This is 'Picking on the Doctor' game. It always turns into this." He complained as he took another drink.

Jack smiled, "Picking on the Doctor game. I've got one. I have never ever, mistakenly gotten engaged. You have to drink for each time."

The Doctor sat his glass down. "Oh, I've won this damn game then. Nope. I'm done."

Rose laughed, "What the hell?"

"Don't ever accept hot chocolate from an ancient Aztec. Maybe she was Incan. I can't remember. Was that even here?" He spoke to himself.

Jack laughed at him. "Oh, that was better than I thought! Let me get you a beer, man."

Tony looked at the Doctor. "Really?"

He nodded as he made a fist with his numb hand and rested his head on it. "Yeah, really."

Tony laughed at him. "That's crazy!"

Jack handed The Doctor a beer. "I traveled with this guy for a while. Oh, I could tell you stories-"

"Yeah, but he won't." The Doctor threatened Jack with a look.

Jack smiled back at Rose and Sam. "Sam is adorable. Five months? How does that work?"

Rose sighed, "It just does. Don't worry about it."

"But, he's fine. Right? He's tiny." Jake asked.

The Doctor closed his eyes and nodded his head. "He's fine. He's perfect."

Rose looked at Jake. "He checked him out this morning. Ran all sorts of scans on him. He's fine."

"How old is he?" Jack asked.

"Only five days." Rose told him.

Jake nodded as he sat down on the arm of the chair with Rose and Sam. "He looks like you."

Rose smiled as she looked at Sam. "Mum says I looked just like this when I was a baby."

Jack smiled at Jake. "Well, how would that work? Which one of The Doctor would he look like?"

Jake shook his head. "See, you explained that and I still don't get it.

Tony looked confused. "What are you talking about, Jack?"

Jack nodded his head and drank. "Yeah, if he gets hurt really bad, he'll completely change what he looks like. I've met him in three…no four different bodies now."

Rose shook her head. "He doesn't like to talk about it."

Tony looked over at the Doctor who was sound asleep. "Man, can't hold his booze. Damn shame."

Rose smiled, "No, he's just finally just gotten still. I saw this coming. Leave him alone. He needs his rest. We'll keep playing. Tony, get his beer though before he spills it on himself."
