Chapter 1
The alien exploded in front of him, to be replaced by...huh?
It could be that his brain was playing tricks on him, but he would swear to Him that it was a glowing light that had just made that alien explode.
He heard a shout behind him, and turned around.
"You all right then?" The Doctor yelled to his companion as he sprinted away from another group of the seriously pissed- off aliens.
"Yeah, I'm fine!" Jimmy Novak yelled back as he put the encounter out of his mind, and concentrated on running.
*****************************************************************************************************************
Jimmy and the Doctor… Hold on, that's not right. The Doctor and Jimmy were in the console room.
"I really don't understand it! I mean, it's obvious that the Earth was created by the Racnoss, in fact, if you want, we could go back and see it!"
"Haven't you already been there Doctor? And it doesn't matter who literally created it. Who's to say that He didn't make the Racnoss go there in the first place?"
"But, but with logic like that you could credit everything to Him!" spluttered the Doctor.
"Exactly."
The Doctor shook his head as he watched his companion.
Humans. He would never understand them.
***************************************************************************************************************
"Doctor! We have to help her."
The subject of the conversation was lying on the ground, eyes classy and breathing shallow.
Jimmy started to half drag her; half lift her towards the TARDIS.
"Hold on! We don't even know what's the matter with her! You could touch her and turn into a, a…a cat!"
" Doctor, what's wrong with cats? And could you help me here, she's kind of heavy."
"Cats are the incarnation of pure evil. Remind me to take you to New New York some time."
Jimmy was nearly in the TARDIS now, and unexpectedly her doors flew open as he approached.
The Doctor groaned at this act of betrayal on the TARDIS' part.
"Fine, but only because if I don't help her, I'll never get any hot water."
"Thank you,"
**********************************************************************************************************
The girl groaned. Where was she?
She looked around her. The last thing she remembered was walking home from work.
She was in an amazing room; the walls looked as if they were alive.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?"
She turned around in fright. Sitting next to her was a man in his early twenties.
"Where am I?"
"You're in the TARDIS."
"The TARDIS?" she asked, her tongue stumbling slightly over the unfamiliar word.
"It's… like a hospital."
"Was I ill?" she said, frowning as she tried to remember what had happened to her.
"Yes, you were."
The girl turned around. In the doorway she saw another man.
"Can you tell us your name?" asked the Doctor.
"Of course. My name's Amelia."
**************************************************************************************************************
It was a beautiful ceremony. The bride and groom had eyes only for each other, the reception was perfect and there were no fights between the in-laws.
It wasn't until hours afterwards that Jimmy had time to talk to the man, or Time Lord, who had watched the wedding from the back of the room.
For a while they just stared at each other, before Jimmy couldn't take the uncomfortable silence anymore.
"I can't travel with you."
The Doctor remained silent. Jimmy hurried to elaborate, afraid that if he didn't say it now then he never would.
"It's just that I have a wife now. And I want to have children. And I can't have them on the TARDIS. It's too dangerous, not that it's your fault that it's dangerous…" Dear Lord, he was starting to babble.
A habit he had picked up from the Doctor.
"Jimmy, its fine. "
"...and I just don't want my children growing and like that..."
"Jimmy, I said its fine."
"...you can come and visit and everything, as long as you don't visit around Christmas..."
"JIMMY!"
Jimmy gave a start, and looked up from where he had been staring at his shoes so he didn't have to look in the Doctor's eyes.
"Yes Doctor?"
"Look, Jimmy, I understand. You don't need to apologise. Heck if I did domestic I'd probably give up travelling!"
"You wouldn't though stop travelling."
"No. I wouldn't." The Doctor admitted. "The universe still needs someone to take care of it, and that someone is me."
"Doctor, I need to rejoin Aims before she thinks I've run off with her bridesmaid or something, but before I go, here's my phone number. I know you have Martha's phone. Call us."
*****************************************************************************************************************
"Please Jimmy, it's an alien! Just let me call the Doctor, he'll help you and then things can just go back to normal." Amelia was nearly hysterical; worried that an alien had come to Earth and frustrated that her husband wouldn't believe her.
On the other hand, Jimmy was calm, yet his eyes betrayed his excitement.
"It isn't an alien Aims. It's an angel, and he's chosen me to do God's work."
"Please Jimmy just call him!"
"Aims, don't be frightened. Have faith."
"Jimmy, call the Doctor, or I'll take Claire and leave for my Mother's first thing tomorrow."
Jimmy didn't say anything, and Amelia marched upstairs with a look of despair on her face.
Jimmy slipped his coat on, and started to walk out of the door.
*************************************************************************************************************
Two thousand year and five galaxies away, a phone rang in the Doctor's pocket.
After a lot of searching, and a startled look from his red-haired companion, the Doctor finally found it.
"Hello? Amelia, good to hear from you. How's Claire doing?...Jimmy doing what!...Yes, I'll come right away. Bye."
"Right then Donna, we're going to Earth, Pontiac, Illinois, 2008."
"Friends of yours?" asked Donna, gesturing to the phone.
"You have no idea."
