"Mummy, what's going on?" Melody whispered as Mai layed Precious on the sofa in the attic, bundled up in blankets.
"Well Melody-" Mr Smith began.
"MR SMITH!" Mai snapped. "Not now, please."
"I'm sorry, I do not understand. I do believe this to be Luke's birthday, and everybody was celebrating."
"Yeah, well things get in the way." Mai muttered as Rani and Clyde walked into the attic.
"I don't know what to say." Clyde said, sitting down on the sofa.
"I think it's best if I left." Mai sighed, typing coordinates into the vortex minipulator, picking up Precious and taking Melody's hand. "I don't think he needs the girls around when he's having another one."
"Please bring them back." Rani begged.
"Of course I will, I'm not gonna steal my own daughters from you. I just think he needs some time, that's all." She smiled sadly at them, teleporting off and reappearing in The TARDIS.
"You brought the girls with you!" River grinned, taking Precious out of her arms.
"Granfather!" Melody giggled, running towards The Doctor and being picked up and swung in a circle. "Guess what Grandad?"
"What?"
"As today was Daddy's birthday, Maria turned up!" Melody said to which The Doctor and River's face dropped.
"We'll go to Amy and Rory's." Mai mumbled, pulling levers on the control panel and entering coordinates. "I'll explain then."
...
"She's pregnant!"
"Ssh!" Mai hissed at them all as they sat in Amy and Rory's kitchen, Melody playing in the living room and Precious fast asleep. "Don't ask, I have no idea."
"So you left?" Amy asked.
"Well what else could I do? I couldn't exactly stay there, could I?"
"You go now." Rory said, pointing a finger at her. "We'll look after the girls, it's fine. Go."
"But Mum needs her vortex minipulator!"
"I got a new one, as you always use mine." River chuckled.
"But I can't-"
"Mai, go."
...
"Let me explain." Luke said as soon as she reappeared in the attic, just the 2 of them.
"She's pregnant."
"I'm sorry."
"What are you apologising for?" Mai asked. "We haven't been together properly since Melody was born."
"I just..."
"Hey, come on. You need to be strong. You're having another baby."
"I don't care!"
"Don't be like that." She snapped. "You love your kids more than anything in the world. And you've got another coming, so buck your ideas up Luke."
...
Mai turned the shower off, the hot water dripping off her body, and got changed, making out of the en suite and into her room before walking along The TARDIS corridors and into the new built nursery, plain and simple with 2 cots in. She walked in and stopped as she watched a man with brown hair lean over Precious' cot.
"Luke?" The man turned round and she froze. "Your dead." She whispered as he turned back again, picking up Precious. "THAT'S NOT FAIR YOUR DEAD SAM!" She screamed. "Put her down."
"She's my twin sister."
"Sam, put her down."
"You don't call me by my Gallifreyan name, that's interesting."
"I named my son a Gallifreyan name, you're my best friend, the boy I grew up with!"
"I'm still him."
"No." She whispered. "How are you here?"
"I'm a ghost."
"Oh, great." She scoffed. "I wanted to say goodbye to my sisters. But there's something you have to know."
"What else can you tell me now?" She sobbed. "You've already been taken from me, and your dead. The time lords stole you, and they know I can't go back over my own timeline to get you back."
"I was a ganger." He said slowly. "The real me as a baby is still out there. And the real me at this age is living a life."
"So I take it you know about Maria being pregnant then."
"Sorry." He whispered.
"What happens?"
"Spoilers."
"Of course." She sighed. "But was he ok in the end, was he safe?"
"Safe." He said simply. "A awful lot's gonna happen though. Everyone is going to go through a awful lot. Some people will find happiness. It'll hurt, but it will be happy."
"God, you sound so much like Mum." Mai scoffed.
"Spend as much time as you can with The Doctor and River, and The Ponds, cause it'll change soon." He sighed, placing Precious back in her cot before moving over to Melody's and placing a kiss on her head before turning back to Mai. "I'm gonna start fading."
"Bye." Mai sobbed, throwing her arms round him, and he sqeezed her back. She found herself hugging her own waist eventually, sobbing. She ran out of the room suddenly, sprinting down the corridor as River walked down in the opposite direction, before flinging herself into her mother's arms.
"Hey, hey, what's wrong?" She asked in hushed tones, stroking her hair.
"Sam was a ganger." She cried out. "Hayn's still out there. My son needs me and I don't know what to do Mum." She bawled.
"Oh sweetie." River whispered. "Whatever's going on, even if you and the girls are staying here with us, you need to tell Luke that Hayn's still alive."
"I know." She whispered, pulling out of the hug and entering coordinates on her vortex minipulator.
"Do you want me to come with you?"
"No, it's ok. I need to do this by myself." She said softly, before teleporting off and finding herself outside Rani's house. "Why the hell didn't it teleport me in the attic?" She muttered to herself before running up to Rani's front door, banging on it. "RANI!" She shouted before the door opened and Clyde appeared on the other side, in his boxer shorts, automatically blushing. "I've had 3 kids with Luke, it's no bother." She said quickly. "Surprised Mr and Mrs Chandra haven't had a fit."
"They're away at the moment." He murmered.
"Hang on, why are you here this late?" She asked as Rani appeared behind him, in his shirt. "Oh." Her eyes grew wide.
"Shit." Rani muttered.
"Took your time." Mai chuckled.
"What are you doing here, it's 3 in the morning."
"I don't care, get yourself dressed, it's important."
"What's going on?"
"Doesn't matter, just come on." She said eagerly. They appeared out the house fully dressed 5 minutes later and Mai dragged htem across the street, sonicing the door open and running up the stairs, banging on Sarah-Jane and Sky's bedroom doors, making them wake up.
"What's going on?" Sarah-Jane panicked as they made their way up to the attic. "Is there a fire? A alien invasion? Is The Doctor ok?"
"Hayn's still alive." She said as she opened the door before they all froze, staring as Luke had his arms round Maria's waist, kissing her.
"This isn't what it looks like." Luke said quickly.
"Happy Birthday, your son is still alive." Mai said, shutting the door again.
