Nice little chapter that revolves around the relationship between Jenny and The Doctor. You may need tissues. Just two more chapters before I start new chapters again. Finally.
I own nothing.
His Daughter
It wasn't until later when Amy and Rory retired for the night that The Doctor decided he and Jenny would have family night, which was watching a movie in the Cinema Room. It was Jenny's turn to pick a movie and The Doctor was sorta dreading what it was, because she sometimes picked something like a Romantic Comedy or a chick flick, although he did tolerate and liked Mean Girls and it's 5 other sequels.
But this time she picked one that they both would like. Toy Story 5, which wouldn't come out until 2025 but that was one of the perks of time travel. The Doctor remembered meeting Walt Disney, it was somewhere when he was Umbrella Man, and he and Ace had gone to meet him because Ace was a fan of his films. He had taken him on a trip with them, and it ended with Walt having inspiration for another movie, Mary Poppins and The Doctor had found out after watching it again after the trip with Walt that some of the movie's inspiration came from him and the TARDIS.
Ace was happy about that, but was disappointed that none of the characters in the film was based on her.
And it would've been nice to get some recognition from that but he let it go.
He got out of musings when the movie came to an end, and also the slight sound of something. He looked around and had found Jenny asleep. He had his arm draped around her, and her head laid on his side. He smiled lovingly at his daughter.
His daughter.
He thought he would never been a father again, not what he did at the end of the Time War. But, when that faithful trip to Messaline came, he had hope, sure he or Sandshoes shook her off at first, but Sandshoes had warmed up to her over time, and they were planning on traveling together as a family.
But his whole world shattered when Cobb tried to shoot him and Jenny took the bullet and she supposedly died in his arms. After he promised they would travel the Universe together. He should've known Time Lords had the ability to heal after a couple of hours of their Regeneration. He should know, he had his hand cut off and grown a new one during the duel he had with the leader of the Sycorax.
But it was a crazy day, and he had an enough of a clear head to not shoot Cobb and make him pay.
But he felt joy when she came running too him and hugged him on Shan Shen. It was only a couple of months for him, but years for her. But he was and still is glad she was back in his life and he could be a father again.
He loved her and wanted to be the best parent that he could be.
He still felt bad for leaving her there, and not taking her body but it would've been too much for him. But if he did, she would've woken up and they would've traveled sooner. He apologized to her on multiple occasions but Jenny said he didn't have to apologize, she understood.
After that, he became so proud of her when she invented things, showed her brilliance that came from him and how resourceful she was. Sure, she had some doubt but she pulled through that as well.
He didn't know what he would've done without her, after he had to erase Donna's memory. He would probably find himself going to a dark place, and would've made rash decision. But she had kept him away from that, well, he still did sometimes but she had stopped him from making alot. And she had helped him through some of the pain. He still had his demons but she helped get rid of some.
He got out of his thoughts, turned off the projector and was careful not to wake her. He scooped her up into his arms as gently as he could and walked out of the Cinema room and found her room next to it. He thanked the TARDIS mentally and the door opened. Jenny mumbled something in her sleep but didn't wake up.
Her room was sorta of a mess and The Doctor chuckled internally. He thought someone who had soldier training in her mind would've kept her room spotless but she proved him wrong. Her desk was littered with gadgets and the room next to that desk was probably the same, it was her second tinkering room and who knew what was in there. Her bed wasn't made and he placed her on the bed.
He moved a couple strands of her blonde hair, which was normally in a pony tail but was hanging loose and it went down to her shoulders, from her face and she was wearing the clothes she wore when she would go to bed. She was planning on going to sleep after the movie. And she also had a serene look.
That made his hearts soar and felt tears coming. Not tears of sadness but tears of joy, happiness, and love but he held it back. He leaned down to kiss her cheek and moved the covers until it covered her torso.
He sat on the edge of her bed as he watched her sleep and then decided to get some sleep as well. He got up and walked to the door. He sent loving waves through their bond and was met with the same thing from her and that made him smile again.
"I love you Jenny. I'm proud to be your father." He said and closed the door behind him.
A second later, a smile appeared on her face as she slept and whispered.
"I love you too, dad."
