After some twiddling with The TARDIS, Sarah-Jane was back. Nobody remembered she died apart from The TARDIS crew and the Bannerman Road lot, and they were preparing for a new life. After Mai's hologram had dissapeared, The Doctor and River left with Amy and Rory, leaving Luke to care for SJ with everyone else.
"Were gonna have to get a bigger car." Sarah-Jane muttered as they all cramped into the little green car. Luke got in the front while Rani got in the back with Sky and Clyde and SJ in her arms.
"We've got mine." Luke murmered.
"Yeah but you gonna need that to get back to uni, love." Sarah-Jane smiled weakly at him, driving off into town. They were off to buy supplies for SJ. They still had nappies and food etc from when Sky was a baby, but still needed other bits. Luke wasn't exactly concentrating, but they had to do it at some point, SJ couldn't keep sleeping in a moses basket. It had been a week since Mai died, and Luke had lost all hope. He could barely concentrate on SJ, it was like he was dead too. They parked the car and headed into the shopping centre, Sarah-Jane, Rani and Sky heading one way, Luke and Clyde the other. The girls ended up walking into mothercare, spending money given to them from The Doctor on a cot and buggy and other essentials, whilst the boys just walked around, not that interested in baby shopping.
"How you coping?" Clyde asked, as they sat down on a bench.
"How do you think? I can't even look after my daughter properly Clyde. I hold her, but completely lose track of what I'm doing, I just stay still and stare at her, because she reminds me of Mai so much. I just have to stand there until Mum looks at me with pity and takes her out of my arms." He half snapped, getting up and walking off. Clyde sighed and walked the opposite way, waiting outside the shop and Sarah-Jane, Rani and Sky came out, all done.
"Were getting it all delivered." Rani muttered.
"Where's Luke?" Sarah-Jane asked.
"He's gone off on one, he's not taking it well Sarah-Jane." Clyde sighed. "I assume he's gone home, probably needs time to think for himself."
...
After buying many new clothes for Sky as well as SJ, they cluttered through into the attic, throwing bags everywhere and looking through it all. Sky walked over to Mr Smith, pulling of a peice of paper stuck to him.
I always said that what happened to her mother would happen to her. But here I am doing it. I am sorry and I know I promised her I wouldn't abandon her, but I am. Mai's dead, and I can't deal with that. But if you can't care for SJ, Mum. Give her to The Doctor. I loved her so much and now she's dead. And I can't watch her grow up seeing the ghost of Mai in her eyes.
"You ok love?" Sarah-Jane asked as Sky turned round. "What's wrong?"
"Luke's gone."
...
Their phone calls all came at the same time...
Leadworth...
Amy sighed as she pushed open her back door, putting the plates on the side and grabbed the ringing hands free phone from its set, sitting back down next to Rory outside on the patio table, pressing the green button and placing it to her ear.
"Hello?" She asked.
"Amy, it's Sarah-Jane."
"Oh hello."
"We need your help."
"What's happened?" She said quickly, becoming alert and giving Rory a look. "Is SJ ok?" She said, biting her lip and trying not to let her heart break thinking that Mai should be there with Sarah-Jane.
"She's fine. Sort of."
"What's happened?"
"Luke's just left, gone."
The TARDIS...
The Doctor sighed and walked round the console, half heartedly flicking switches and grabbing the phone as it rang. He was still hurt, trying not to think of Mai's death.
"Hello?"
"Doctor it's me, Rani."
"Oh hello Rani." He said, before snapping up. "What's wrong? Is SJ ok?"
"Luke's gone, just left us."
Cell 246, StormCage Prison Facility...
The guard sighed and approached the phone as it rang.
"Cell 246?"
"It's me, can I talk to River?"
"Doctor Song." He sighed, walking over and passing the phone to River, her arm outstreched and through the bars, not turning round to face him. "Your husband for you."
"Hello Sweetie." She sighed as she took the phone from him, without her usual glee and joy from hearing her husband. She was still upset, unable to get over Mai's death.
"River, Luke's gone."
The search went out for Luke, they even contacted the uni, and he wasn't there.
...
Luke walked round to the back door which was wide open, walking through the house and into the living room. Sadie and Charlie looked up at him as he stood there, tears streaming down his face.
"I. Can't. Cope."
