Hi everybody! I have finally aquired my own account (a gazzilion thanks to hjaltalin's owl for sharing hers with me until I could get this one) and I am reposting all my stories here. Please enjoy!
Okay guys, here it is, my first attempt at a Doctor Who fic. As usual, I own nothing; in this case it all belongs to the BBC. Please review and let me know what you think, as I
adore reviews, but do be nice. Anyway, guess I'll let you get on with it now. Enjoy!

Standing Sentinal
She stands silent in the bedroom doorway, watching her daughter sleep. It's been a long time since she's stood sentinal
in the doorway to her daughter's room, but now she feels she must, to assure herself that her little girl is still there. Her
little girl who has grown up so much in the past few years, whose heart now lies shattered on a beach in Norway.
She watches as her sweet Rose rolls over under the sheet that is the only covering she hasn't kicked off, in spite of the frost
on the windows, and stretches one arm out as if searching for something or someone not there.
Jackie sighs as she leans against the doorway, still watching sadly. She knows for whom her daughter searches in her
slumber, and greives for the fact that she will never find him. Any minute now, Jackie knows that Rose will wake, dreched
in sweat and tears and shaking with broken sobs, having relived her loss in her sleep only to wake up and find that her
nightmare doesn't end with waking.
And when she wakes, Jackie will hold and soothe her as she has done each time before, and she will both curse and bless
the name of the man for whom her daughter grieves. The curse for the anguish Rose suffers now, the blessing for the happiness
he gave her before the universe tore them apart.
If she could rewind time and save her daughter this pain, she would; but she does not possess that gift. So instead she stands
in this doorway, a silent, watchful sentinal, waiting for the day when her Rose will sleep the whole night through and wake in the
morning without haunted eyes.
