A/N: This was written as a challenge for myself.. I have taken Alex Lloyd's self titled album (hence the fic's title) and with lyrics from each song written a ficlet. They don't all link together and are in album order. Hope you enjoy.

When You feel as though your falling

Every fear you can confide

When the night time is your dawning

Hard to see through troubled eyes

Alex Lloyd – Brand New Day

Dear Mum,

One year is a long time, when thinking about it linearly. Its hard to picture what I put you through and for that I am sorry. Sorry is a word that is used too often and it means so little. Doctor suggested I tell you in his native tongue but I can't pronounce it let alone spell it. But that is what I want to say to you.

The Doctor messed up again today, took me to a future I was never meant to see. At least not until I had gotten there linearly. That is how I think now, in linear time and TARDIS time. But today I met my own daughter and she reminded me of you. She was all the things I saw in you that I wanted to be myself. She was with you, that's how we learnt the truth, oh how she loves you mum. I wish I could have been there for her like you were for me. At least she knows her father, he teaches her about who she is and why she's so much more than I could hope to be.

You of course knew we would one day turn up because you had this. But I know you let us meet her, knowing we already had, didn't want to mess with time. Your granddaughter has taught you so much about what it is we go through. You have come to understand and love the Doctor as a son and for that I thank you. We have not spoken since we got back to the TARDIS and it makes me wonder how it is we come to that. I know that I love him mum but that is not enough, I know.

I am scared of that future mum, I was dead, my sixteen year old daughter had not seen me in eight years. I wanted to be there for her, her younger brother, 14, and sister, 12. How much will I miss of their lives mum? I remember how hard it was for me without Dad and I never wanted that for them.

Thank you for traveling with them, teaching them about me. Thank you for accepting my husband. Thank you for raising me, and them when they come into your life.

I love you.

Rose.
