"First off." Mai said calmly, walking down the aisle. "Next time you try to trick my daughter into thinking you are her mother, I will take you by your childish little plaits and throw you into the Medusa Cascade myself, got that?" She said to Maria, trying her best not to hit her.
"You did what?" Luke spluttered.
"I wanted us to be happy!"
"This whole time, you've been slagging her off, telling me never to go near her if I saw her, this whole time... I'd been looking for my mum. I thought she was the on who got rid of her!" Melody shouted at Maria, getting up and throwing her bouquet across the room. "You lying cow!" She shouted in her face, slapping her hand before being pulled back by Luke and Mai.
"Whoah come on sweetie, I know you have guts like me but no reason to start attacking people now!" Mai said.
"Plenty of bloody reasons to!"
"Please forgive me!" Maria pleaded, searching through her bag and pulling out a handgun. "I got you all a present."
"MARIA! PUT THE GUN DOWN!" Everyone from the seats shouted.
"Til death us do part." She grinned at Luke.
"Come off it Maria!" Rani said, standing up. "In 2 months you dragged him into marrying you, because he had no bloody choice."
"Because you are a derranged psychopath!" Sky piped up.
"Like he was honestly gonna marry you." Clyde said.
"Can we go home now?" Melody muttered.
"Well I would suggest that sweetie but there is still psycho nutter here with her gun."
"Oh but I know." Maria said. "If you stop this wedding, then you can re-write time. But if your dead, then you can't!" She smiled pointing and shooting at Mai.
"NO!" Everyone screamed. Mai slowly opened her eyes, looking round and realising she was on the floor. She put her hand to her stoumach, realising there was no blood, had she shot? She looked to her lap, where Luke's head was laying, his stoumach covered in blood.
"12 years." He whispered. "And I never stopped loving you."
"Oh Luke Smith, child genius. Why did you fall in love with someone as stupid as me?"
"You said that when you died, our final goodbye."
"Stuff Belgium." He chuckled, wincing in pain.
"SOMEONE CALL A AMBULANCE!" They heard shouts from the background, people running round and panicing, restraining Maria back, but it sounded mumbled to them, all that mattered was eachother.
"You shouldn't have done that." She whispered, crying.
"You try and stop me. I may have never spoken about you, or told Melody nothing about you, but every day for the last 12 years I prayed you'd come back. On her birthday, I was just angry, upset, I wasn't expecting you to turn up then of all days."
"You gave up. It's ok." She sighed.
"I'd never give up on you. Never. You have to do this. Time CAN be re-written, you know that better than anyone. We don't have much time."
"I love you." She whispered, kissing him quickly before getting up, running up the aisle.
"MUM!" Melody shouted. She turned back around, everyone watching. "Where are you going?"
"Time can be re-written." She said, everyone grinning apart from Melody, who stared at her, confused before running back outside, where The TARDIS was parked, a pissed of Doctor inside. She ran in, slamming the doors and up to the controls. "Ok, so I lied and decided to look on her future instead of seeing Sadie and Char, what am I supposed to do? But I have to go back, I have to re-write time now! Where are we going?"
"StormCage." The Doctor replied. "It's Christmas!"
...
"Oh Melody..." She bent over the cot in the silent room, hearing her parents talk to Sarah-Jane, Rani, Sky and Clyde in the attic. She hadn't really said anything to them and they understood that, she wanted to see Melody.
"You came back then." She turned round to see Luke, smiling at her and leaning against the door frame.
"I'm sorry." She gasped, crying as he walked over and pulled her into a hug. He snaked his arms round her waist as she put her round his neck, crying into his chest.
"It's ok." He whispered into her hair. He lifted up her chin, planting his lips softly on hers.
"Luke."
"Yeah?"
"Merry Christmas."
...
"Look at him. He's such a big kid." Mai laughed as he and Luke sat at the window, his arms snaked around her waist, watching everyone outside in the snow, The Doctor bouncing and cooing over Melody. He entwined his hands with hers, kissing her neck.
"Did you miss me?"
"Of course I did. Did you?"
"No." He said and she frowned. "I'm kidding of course I did, more than anything."
...
"Merry Christmas." He whispered in her ear.
"What time is it?" Mai yawned, sitting up and noticing Melody was gone. "And where's Mels?"
"Half past 11, and with everyone else in the attic."
"Shit. Why are we still in bed then?"
"Cause we are." He grinned, pulling her back by her waist and tickling her, kissing her neck as she squirmed.
"Come on, we've gotta get ready."
"Do we have to?" He said as Mai hopped out of bed, searching through the wardrobe. "Can't we just stay in bed?"
"No it's Christmas Day!" She said, throwing a towel at him, pulling on her own clothes and heading out the door towards the attic. "Morning!" She said, walking through the door as everyone was sitting around. She walked round, giving everyone hugges before taking Melody from River and sitting her on her lap, having quality time with her daughter since she was born. Luke eventually walked in before snuggling up next to Mai as they cooed over Melody. Eventually, there was a knock at the door and everyone looked at each other in confusion.
"Were not expecting anyone are we?" Mai asked. "Please don't say you told everyone I'm dead!"
"They know you had Melody but we found excuses why you hadn't been around." Clyde said as Rani walked to the window, looking down to see who was there.
"Oh you are kidding." Rani muttered, turning back to them. "It's my parents and Clyde's mum. Oh no, no, no." She said, suddenly realising something.
"I might have not told them you two were together and your Melody's dad."
"Me neither." Clyde said, biting his lip.
"WHAT?" Mai spluttered. "Oh brilliant." She said as the door knocked again, passing Melody to Luke. "I'll get it." She sighed walking downstairs and opening the door. "Merry Christmas Mr Chandra, Mr Chandra, Mrs Langer!" She grinned, inviting them in. They three of them froze as they walked into the attic, The TARDIS standing bold as brass opposite them, luckily Mr Smith was away. "Crap." Mai muttered.
"What's that?" Haresh asked.
"Ah that, Mr Chandra." Mai said nervously, looking at everyone. "Is my father's." She smiled, pointing at The Doctor. "He is a modern art collecter, and is Sarah-Jane's best friend, so she offered to let him keep it here."
"Doctor." The Doctor said getting up and shaking hands with them.
"Doctor John Song." Mai corrected him, shooting him a glance. "And my mother, River." She said as River said hello.
"So your a art collecter, do you specify in just modern-"
"Oh no I like the old stuff too." The Doctor grinned. "Vincent Van Gogh, what a lovely bloke."
"I could've married him!" The door swung open and Amy and Rory walked in, plonking bags on the floor.
"The ultimate ginger!"
"Thank god you didn't, where would I be eh?" River said, laughing as Rani's parents and Clyde's mum looked at us in confusion.
"Why didn't you say you were coming!" Mai grinned, giving them a hug each.
"Surprise!" Rory said, plonking himself on the sofa.
"Sorry, these are my gran- this is my aunt and uncle." Mai corrected herself. "Amy and Rory."
"Um ok." Gita shook her head. "You were gonna marry Vincent Van Gogh?"
"Old family joke." I said quickly.
"So this must be little Melody." Carla said, smiling at Luke. "You know if you ever want advice on being a single mum then-"
"Oh no, no, no it's not like that, I've got Luke."
"Oh that's sweet of him to help, I know what it's like when the father just abadons you and-"
"No Mrs Langer, I don't think you understand." Luke interupted. "I am Melody's father." He said as they stared at him in confusion. "As in Melody's real father."
"Sorry I'm confused, why are we saying Rory and Amy are your aunt and uncle?" The Doctor said.
"Don't you dare! Shutup! It's hard enough when your being alien around this lot, but they don't know how we live our lives. So SHUSH!" Mai said quickly in Gallifreyan, much to everyone's surprise, she barely spoke in Gallifreyan anyway, as The Doctor and River spoke in english anyway.
"Sorry." The Doctor muttered to Gita, Haresh and Carla. "Family joke."
"What language is that?" Gita asked.
"Mine mother lived in a small village in Sweden during her childhood, and it was seperate from the national language, and I learnt it, which then I taught to Mai." The Doctor said.
"Oh that reminds me Luke!" Gita said. "Maria's on her way over."
"What?" I said. "Your kidding."
"No, she was just grabbing some stuff." She said as the door swung open, Maria standing there, handgun in her hand.
"I have some unfinished business."
"Don't start a fight at Christmas." Mai said in Gallifreyan.
"You know, you ruined my wedding day."
"Don't start a fight at Christmas." Mai muttered in Gallifreyan.
"And then Luke got in the way."
"Don't start a fight at Christmas." Mai hissed in Gallifreyan.
"And then finally your brat was being a little bitch." She said, nodding at Melody.
"NOPE FUCK IT! LET'S START A FIGHT AT CHRISTMAS!" Mai shouted.
