It's going to suck when I run out of chapters that I can just rewrite with one document on one side and the old one on the other side. Then I'll be juggling netflix and writing notes and actually having to write chapters again. And then I have to find my written version that's somewhere around her. More than likely packed on a box still. Good thing I still have a buffer zone even after I post this one!~ Like a four week one and counting! This episode is almost over, and then we have some added chapters I've made up and doesn't follow an episode, and then right on in to the next one. It's in the next episode I need to find my last notes, because I know I don't follow every single episode. Well, at least I don't think I do...crap where are they...

Okay enough of my ramblings, here's another chapter!~

Disclaimer: Nothing is mine but my OC.

I was so focused on Jack that I had forgotten to keep an eye on the doors, though really what was I planning on doing when they came barreling through? We heard the cries of 'Mummy' just as Nancy cried for Rose. I watched them run to Doctor while I faithfully stood by Jack. I'd follow him to the ends of the earth and now was no exception.

"But gas masked people aren't troops?" I heard Rose say as I followed Jack towards wherever he was going.

"They are now. This is a battlefield ambulance." I could sense another lecture coming on.

"The nanogenes don't just fix you up. They get you ready for the front line, equip you, program you."

"That's why the child's so strong, why it could do that phone thing." Rose realized.

Doctor confirmed her suspicions. It's fully equipped Chula Warrior, yes. All that weapons tech in the hands of a 4 year old looking for his mummy. And now there's an army of them."

We all anxiously glanced around. This time my whimper was unintentional and I took a short pace near Jack. Every few minutes I'd briefly look up and see a wall of gas masked people. If I ever survived this, I'd have nightmares for sure.

"Why don't they attack?" Jack asked.

"Good little soldiers, waiting for their commander." The Time Lord replied.

"The child?"

"Jamie." Nancy abruptly said.

"What?" Doctor asked.

"Not "The Child" - Jamie." The look she sent out way was a withering one.

"So how long until the bomb falls?" Rose cut in.

Aw jeez, I'd nearly forgotten!

"Any second." Jack growled out.

"What's the matter, captain? Bit close to the volcano for you?" Doctor pestered as he walked over.

"He's just a little boy." Nancy mumbled, sounding very close to tears.

"I know." Was Doctor's answer.

"He's just a little boy who wants his mummy..."

"No." The Doctor looked down at her. "There isn't a little boy who wouldn't tare the world apart to save his mummy," He took a breath, "And this one can."

"So, what are we going to do?" Rose demanded.

"I don't know."

I vehemently barked my irritation to the Time Lord's words. No doubt I wasn't the only one wanting to not hear those words out of his mouth. Rose sighed, or maybe it was a huff, and rolled her eyes.

"It's my fault." Nancy cried.

"No." Doctor immediately said.

I did fail to see how in any way it was her fault.

"It is." She said. "It's all my fault."

"How can it be you -"

The cries suddenly got louder as more of them started crying out for their mummy. The girl started to tear up and I couldn't help myself. I left Jack's side to rub my body up next to her legs. At first she was reluctant, but then knelt down and hugged my as she cried. When I looked up at the Time Lord, I saw calculating eyes. He was on to something and I had a feeling we were all about to know about it in a minute or two.

"Nancy, what age are you?" Doctor asked. I grumbled my dislike for him pestering the crying woman with such a trivial question. "Twenty, twenty-one? Older than you look, yes?" She looked up at him, looking extremely distraught as she did so.

"Doctor, that bomb – we've got seconds." Jack frantically said.

"you can't teleport us out." Rose reminded him.

"Not you guys – the Navcom's bac online. Gonna take to long to override the protcols."

"So it's volcano day. Do what you've got to do." Doctor said. I barked at Jack, not wanting him to leave. He couldn't leave me here, after all these years. I stuck by his side through thick and thin, and he was just going to leave me.

"Jack." Rose demanded.

Jack walked over to crouch down and scratch my scruff. He gave me an unreadable look before standing up and walking off. Then...was gone. I barked at thin air, detaching myself from the girl to run to the spot he's just been moments ago. I snarled at the ground and glared accusingly at the Time Lord like it was entirely his fault. He ignored me, too focused on Nancy.

"How old were you fice years ago, fifteen, sixteen? Old enough to give birth anyways." Nancy sniffed as she looked down. "He's not your brother, is he?" She shook her head and cried some more.

I huffed, hoping Doctor was going somewhere with this. I was one very angry Vaihtaja at the moment. In my eyes, I was just abandoned once more by another person I cared for. Once again, I was betrayed.

"A teenage, single mother in 1941. So you hid. You lied." She nodded to his words. "You lied to him."

The doors broke open about that time and out came the child. I snarled something fierce at the kid, but didn't move from my perch.

"Are you my mummy?" He asked us.

"He's gonna keep asking, Nancy. He's never going to stop." Doctor said as he studied Nancy. "Tell him. Nancy...the future of the human race is in your hands."

No pressure. I thought darkly with a scoff.

"Trust me and tell him."

"Are you my mummy?" The boy walked closer.

Slowly, but surely, Nancy walks up to the boy. "Yes, " she says. Despite my dark mood, my heart jumps into my throat as she closes the space between them. "Yes, I am you mummy."

"Mummy?" The boy exclaims.

"I'm here."

"Are you my mummy?"

Nancy falls to her knees, tears in her eyes. "I'm here."

'Are you my mummy." He repeats.

"Yes." Nancy says, sounding more like she's pleading more than anything else.

"He doesn't understand, there's not enough of him left." Doctor says.

Nancy takes a deep breath and says, " I am your mummy. I will always be your mummy. I'm so sorry." She cries and hugs the boy close. "I'm so, so sorry."

And them something amazing happens. They glow together with tiny particles flying all around them in a flurry of nanogenes. It was a beautiful sight, yet gut wrenching at the same time.

"What's happening? Doctor, it's changing her." Rose panics, grabbing his arm. "We should -"

"Shh!" he shushes her. Then he's pleading. "Come one, please. Come on , you clever little nanoegenes. Figure it out."

I felt hope rise within me, bringing me from my haunches to all fours and taking a step with anticipation. My ears were at attention as I felt my chest squeeze.

"The mother. She's the mother. That's got to be enough information. Figure it out."

I glanced over at the Time Lord and whuffed quietly, but frustrated, wondering if the nanogenes were recognizing the mother's genes. It was like he's read my thoughts, though I suppose that's not impossible because I do remember my mother mentioning it having happened before some time or another.

"Yes, Khaz, they are." He said, sparing a glance at me.

"What's happening?" Rose asks in total confusion.

Doctor launched into explaining just what was going on as the nanogenes were still figuring things out. A moment or two later and mother and son broke apart and the nanogenes disappeared as quick as they had appeared.

"Oh, com on." Doctor pleased once again. "Give me a day like this, give me this one." He walks forward towards the boy and grasped a hold of the gas mask. We all held out breaths until he successfully removed it.

The Time Lord exploded with excitement as we all sighed in relief.

"Ha, ha! Welcome back!" He cries, lifting the boy to the sky. "Twenty years 'till pop music. You're gonna love it." He and the females laughed merrily and I barked with them in happiness. I watched Doctor make a fool of himself by dancing around the place with glee.

"What happened?" Nancy wanted know.

"The Nanogenes recognized the superior information, the parent DNA. They didn't change you, because you changed the," He laughed, if a little hysterically. "Mother knows best."

"Doctor, that bomb." Rose reminded us all.

"Taken care of." He said, not sounding too worried.

I felt my stomach drop to my toes with dread.

"How?" She asks. But I feel I may know.

"Psychology." Doctor sounded pretty proud of himself.

My head jerks to the sound of whistling. My eyes widen in horror as it comes closer to us, but then there's Jack's ship, saving the day. I reared up on my hind legs, barking happily. He'd come back! I berated myself for ever thinking he would dare abandon me. I let out a howl to Jack, who was sitting astride the bomb. It didn't even occur to me how badly this situation could go.

"Doctor!" Jack yells.

"Good lad!" Doctor praised my beloved human.

I danced around in place, turning in circles before rearing up again like an excited pony. All in all, I was now the one making a fool of myself in an attempt to to capture my human's attention.

"The bomb's already commenced detonation." He said, making my excited come to an abrupt halt.

"I've put it in stasis, but it won't last long."

"Change of plan – I don't need the bomb." He said. I was floored, what on earth had they been planning? When had they planned something? I searched both Doctor and Jack in hopes of finding some sort of answer.

"Can you get rise of it? Safely as you can." The look in Jack's eyes made my breath hitch. Something wasn't right.

Oh Jack, how do you plan on getting rid of the bomb?

"Rose!" Jack called to her.

"Yeah?"

"Good-bye." He says, then looks to Doctor. "And Doctor? Watch Khaz for me!"

What? I thought, unable to comprehend what was going on here. I looked back and forth between the men. What the hell was going on. Why is he saying good-bye? If the Doctor could really hear me, he chose to ignore me.

I raced forward, barking frantically at Jack, my Jack. It was a waste of breath, as Jack left and flew off to god knows where. I howled at the sky, naming every cures word I could thing of for him leaving me here while he went and undoubtedly did something stupid. He always does something stupid when I'm not with him.
