A/N - If any more Gallifreyan is spoke, it will be in bold, like this.
"That's not real is it?" Carla asked.
"No of course not!" Clyde piped up. "Why don't you 3 all go for a cup of tea back at home eh?" He said ushering them out.
"What the hell are you doing here Maria?" Mai spat.
"You ruined my wedding day!" She shouted, pointing her gun at Mai.
"I was saving my daughter. Time got re-written though, how is this happening?"
"I don't know, but I remember my life both ways now. The one where you didn't come back and now when you did. But you got in the way, YOU RUINED MY LIFE!" She screamed, just about to pull the trigger.
"MR SMITH!" Mai shouted, grabbing Melody tightly. With a flash of light she was gone.
"Well. That was a short revenge plan." Amy piped up. "What did you do?"
"Mr Smith teleported her back home, made her forget everything."
"What did she mean you ruined her wedding day? And what did I do? What did Melody do? Unfinished business, what did she mean Mai?" Luke asked as he got up, placing his arm round Mai's waist, looking at a gurgling Melody, un-effected by what had happened. "Mai." He said as she snapped back to reality. "What was she on about?"
"Dunno." She said quickly, smiling before sitting back down again. "Well that was a bit odd. Merry Christmas everyone!"
"Merry Christmas!"
...
"How did she remember?" Mai asked as her and The Doctor leant against The TARDIS in the drive, wrapping her jumper around her tighter as the snow fell.
"Well you shouldn't remember but you do. Sometimes it happens, you can tell it's not her from 12 years in the future. Just a accident, but now she won't remember."
"It's been a great Christmas, better than any I've ever had, especially compared to last year."
"Because we left you?"
"I got ready and sat outside UNIT's base all day, tried to break in, then tried to get on board The Shadow Proclamation but they wouldn't let me on as I had no proof of who I was. If I said, they'd go mental and god knows what would happen."
"Were gonna be back soon, Sarah-Jane said something about giving you kids some time together so were gonna go and see Brigadier before he died for a bit."
"Gonna look a bit odd aren't you? Compared to them? You look 20 years younger than them."
"People'll think they're my parents." He chuckled.
"This has been great." She whispered as he pulled her into a hug.
"Merry Christmas, love."
January 27th...
"Sky!" Mai rushed past, banging on her door before heading into the attic. "You better be up!"
"Yeah, yeah I'm coming!" She groaned, walking in with Melody in her arms.
"Come on, big day!" Mai said, taking Melody from her arms.
"You don't think I know?" She muttered, walking back out again.
"Mai, there is a incoming video call from Luke."
"Well put it through then!" She grinned, hoisting Melody on her waist. "Hey!" She said as the image of him and 3 other men appeared.
"Sorry they refused to leave until I came and I wanted see you first."
"You didn't have to do that!" She smiled. "Who's this then?"
"Greg, Phil." He pointed to his right. "And SJ." He pointed to his left.
"SJ?" She grinned, giggling. "Sky! Do you wanna speak to your brother?" She called out.
"Yeah why the hell not." Sky muttered, walking in, half asleep. "Morning ditcher."
"Thanks alot Sky. Where's Mum?"
"She left to see Brigadier yesterday."
"I'll be back soon. Oh hang on guys watch this." He said to his friends. "Where's Clani?"
"Someone talking about us?" Clyde said as him and Rani walked through the door.
"See, told you that would happen!" Luke laughed.
"Oh here we go, it's the lord himself! Mr Ditcher!" Clyde said.
"That's what them two have been calling you ever since you went back." Rani chuckled, eyeing up one of Luke's friends. "Who's this then?"
"Greg, Phil and SJ." He laughed.
"Hey, I'm Rani." She said, smiling, earning a glare from Clyde. "I'm joking." She chuckled, hitting him on the arm. "How is everything?"
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about! On the course I'm studying-"
"What do you actually study though Luke?" Mai asked. "You never properly explained."
"He studies everything." Rani said.
"Everything?"
"Bane." Clyde piped up.
"Oh."
"Anyway!" Luke interupted. "Some of us have been selected to go out to Australia, work at some research lab out there, state of the art!"
"Australia?" Mai spluttered.
"It's not like I have any resposibilities back at home, now Mum's back someone's there for Sky."
"And what about your daughter Luke hm?" Clyde said.
"Don't start Clyde."
"Are you gonna go? And how long for?"
"We leave tonight and were going for 3 months!"
"3 MONTHS?" They all shouted.
"What so your gonna just turn up at home take your stuff and fuck off to Australia?" Mai asked.
"Is this the girl you told us about? The one you got together with and then started to piss you off? Cause she kept dissapearing?" One of his friends asked, clearly drunk. "I thought you didn't want anything to do with your brat either? You only had her with you still cause your girl left or something?"
"SERIOUSLY WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?" Clyde shouted.
"Leave it." Mai said quickly, wiping a quick tear from her eye.
"Mai listen-" Luke stuttered.
"Fuck off, see you later." She snapped. "Mr Smith." She said and the video call went off.
"What is wrong with him?"
"Go to school Sky." Mai sighed as Rani took Melody out of her arms.
"But Mai-"
"Go." She snapped. Sky huffed and walked out the door before they all sat down.
"Well I'm not leaving til he turns up, I'm ready for a right bust up." Clyde muttered.
...
As it got really dark outside, and was making it's way into the night, Mai had sat all day with Rani and Clyde, not really paying attention. Minutes after her phone call with Luke she had gone and packed a bag, filled with stuff for her and Melody, and stuffed it by the side of her bed, ready to grab if she needed it. It's just if she would or not. Rani, Clyde and Sky understood if she walked out then this time it would be fine, they knew that she shouldn't have to sit there and take that. After hearing what he had said, she didn't know how to react. Had he really gone off her? Did he really want her there all that time? Did he want Melody at all? She was fed up of his bullshit, and so were the others. All of them sat up as the door opened and in walked Luke with his 3 mates who were a bit drunk.
"Here he comes!" Clyde snapped, getting up. "We need to talk!"
"No, I need to talk to Mai."
"I don't think she wants to talk to you right now!" Rani said, standing next to Clyde as Mai kept her eyes on Melody, stroking her head as she slept on her chest. "Were your bestfriends, talk to us!"
"I don't need to talk to you!"
"Talk to me then, your sister." Sky said, getting up and standing with them.
"Stay out of this Sky!" He barked.
"Don't talk to me like that!" She shouted. "Ever since Mum came back, all you think you can do is walk all over us! Get a grip Luke, what the hell happened to you?"
"I became a Dad, that's what happened!"
"Well your acting like a pretty shit one right now!" Clyde said as Mai slipped past them and along the hallway and into their room. She grabbed a blanket and wrapped Melody round it before grabbing her bag and slipping on her jacket, walking back through to the attic, where they were still arguing.
"Mai what are you doing?" Luke asked as she walked past Mr Smith, putting her vortex minipulator back on and her sonic screwdriver in her pocket as well as her phone.
"Do you remember when we first kissed?" She asked calmly. "Sadie went into labour and my house blew up. I thought you were dead and I was so happy Mr Smith saved you. Now I'm sorry that Melody's here if you didn't want her, but if you remember I didn't exactly have a normal pregnancy, I didn't even know. I didn't plan it either. It's the way my complicated life goes ok? You knew who I was and you knew what you were getting yourself into."
"What are you doing? I'm sorry, I love you!"
"See I don't think you do... and I don't think you ever did. Good luck seeing your daughter again, then again, you didn't want her either, did you?" She entered the coordinates and teleported off.
