Another short chapter. This was meant to be part of the next chapter, but it would have looked a bit odd.
When John walked into the kitchen he decided to have a banana while waiting for Jaime and her mother to finish their private conversation. Yet he noticed there happened to be a black cube sat in the fruit bowl with the fruit. Jenny noticed what he was looking at and grimaced. "Tell me, Jenny, if these things are supposed to be dangerous," he asked. "Then why have one of them in the house, especially with a baby around."
Jenny chuckled sheepishly. "Yeah, I know. But it's there for research. Brian, Rory's father, has one and he's logging them every day for activity. I've told The Doctor how dangerous they are so he knows. I just can't tell him everything which really annoys him."
"Well, that's good. At least you're aware." He uttered, peeling the banana and chomping on it.
And while he was eating the banana he watched as Jenny held the baby as he cried, mumbling words of comfort in Gallifreyan. She seemed to be quite the expert at it, and the Half-Time Lord realised the younger Jenny wouldn't even know what to do with a baby. But this Jenny probably had lots of lessons with her brothers and sisters. John grinned at the thought of his brother having so many children and chuckled humorously.
Jenny heard it and looked over at him. "What's funny? She asked.
He shook his head. "It's nothing, just thinking of the impossible." J.D replied. "Need any help with that?" He then offered.
"No, I'm fine. I'll get him settled again." Jenny told him, still muttering words of comfort and rocking the baby.
"Is he your…" J.D trailed off and Jenny shook her head.
"He's not mine, nor is he my brother. This is Anthony, Amy and Rory's son." John smiled and appeared thoughtful. That would mean Melody would have a little brother.
Soon enough the baby had calmed down and was once again sleeping peacefully. John was about to get another banana from the fruit bowl when he suddenly had a dizzy turn and almost stumbled to the floor. Luckily he caught his balance and leaned against the kitchen bench, shaking his head.
"Uncle?" Jenny sounded worried. "Was that Jaime?" She asked, having seen the TARDIS-like connection he and her sister had, cause something like this many times before.
"Yep!" J.D popped the 'p'. "I think she just healed Alexia." He said.
"Oh, yeah." Jenny uttered, realising this must have been the moment.
The Half-Time Lord once again shook his head, blinked away the double vision and was finally able to grab another banana. He was about to tuck into it when the kitchen door opened and Freya walked in. She seemed to stare right through J.D with her piercing blue gaze. He gulped and smiled at the girl. "Hello! Freya, wasn't it?" He asked, only because he wanted to stop her from staring at him.
"Yes," the girl replied with a calming smile. "You're always nervous around me." She said but John shook his head.
"I'm not nervous." He replied.
"You are!" She argued. "I can feel it."
John raised a brow at the girl, realising she must be empathic, or maybe like Rose.
"I thought you were playing on the Wii?" Jenny asked her younger sister.
"I was, it's just Terra and Tad want something to drink."
"Right!" Jenny went to the fridge and took out two bottles of juice, giving them to Freya.
"Thank you!" Freya politely said, but before she returned to the front room she turned her attention back to J.D. "Be wary of giant flora, Foxes are not always friendly, duplicates are being gathered and adventures on a home planet lead to more danger and excitement." She said. Freya turned away and exited the kitchen, leaving J.D to gawp at the young female.
A minute or two later he found his voice again. "There seems to be something of the Wolf about her." He stated, sounding completely dumbfounded.
"You've said that before!" Jenny replied with a chuckle.
John looked back at her. "What do you think that all meant?" He queried.
Jenny shrugged her shoulders. "No idea. She's always spoken like that," she replied. "Although the thing with the foxes sounds familiar."
That got the Half-Time Lord's attention. "What?" He asked his niece.
They were interrupted by a wheezing/groaning and temporal winds as the TARDIS made herself known.
"They're back!" Jenny exclaimed in surprise and hurried off to the front room where the TARDIS had landed.
More than a little curious, John decided to follow her but stayed in the hallway to eavesdrop. The kids were excited their parents were back from their apparent date and a voice he didn't recognise spoke up, making him realise The Doctor must have regenerated. Amy was saying something about getting in trouble and narrowly escaping danger. Chuckling, the Half-Time Lord moved closer, but he could hear the beginning of another crying fit from the baby. Then he jumped and let out an unmanly squeak when he felt somebody grab his hand. When he looked around he saw that it was Jaime.
"Seriously?" She hissed and John blushed in embarrassment.
Amy heard baby Anthony crying and went off to see too him, but when she walked into the hallway she screamed in surprise when she saw John. This brought Rory, The Doctor and Rose, who both had their Sonics at the ready. Though they stood down once they saw who it was.
"Blimey, Jaime. What are you still doing here?" The Doctor asked.
"We were 'bout to leave." Jaime replied. "We just didnae expect you back so early!"
"Yeah, we would have stayed longer but somebody had to go and insult the locals!" Rose said and glared at The Doctor.
"What?" The Doctor exclaimed and looked at the blonde. "Sweetheart, you know I didn't mean it!" He cried out.
While The Doctor was trying to make it up to Rose, Alexia came walking into the hallway with baby Anthony. "Oh, I think this little man wants his mother!" She said and Amy came forward to take her son. The woman then turned her attention to Rose and The Doctor. "Hello." She said, looking at the Eleventh incarnation of The Doctor. He looked so young and cocky.
"Hello, Lexie!" The Doctor replied, happy for the distraction while Alexia was surprised he'd used her own nickname for herself.
She turned her attention to Rose. "You look as beautiful as ever." She told the blonde who was way past her 500's.
"Oh, nonsense." Rose waved off the compliment. "I'm old and wrinkly."
The Doctor hugged her.
John noticed she had a lot of age-lines but she wasn't necessarily full of wrinkles. Perhaps she was feeling her age because The Doctor looked so young. "Doctor, is there a reason you look like a twelve year old?" J.D asked his brother with a raised brow. And he really wanted to say something about the big chin, floppy hair and silly bow tie.
The Doctor scowled at him. "Oh, don't you start!" He moaned.
A groan came from Jaime and she quickly grabbed her mum's hand while still holding onto J.D. "We've really got tae go now." She said. "I've connected tae the right TARDIS." She looked at the Doctor, Rose, Amy, Rory and Jenny. "See you all back in the past!" She said to them with a grin and then the three of them teleported away.
