Rose held rolled her eyes, bouncing Romana on her hip. "You two never grew out of childhood, did you?" She turned to the baby who looked back at her mother. "Your father is a fool isn't he?"
"Ignore them Rose. They'll do whatever they want despite us telling them they are childish." Lucy sat on a blanket playing with Harry Jr. He was only a few months older than Romana and they seemed to get along just fine.
"Don't worry Rose. We've done this before." The Doctor strapped on the TARDIS blue helmet.
"Granted we were much younger. But I'm sure we can still do this. About 90% sure." The Master strapped on his own before climbing onto the couch. They both sat there for a minute. "How do we make it go?" After pondering this for a few minutes the grabbed two large sticks and began to push themselves down the hill. (I've seen people do similiar things in sleds... in the summer... on gravel)
Rose just sat next to Lucy. "You ever seen a train wreck? You can't help but stare even though you know it is going to end badly."
"AHHH!"
"Oh Rassilon!"
The couch rolled over sending the two children in grown men bodies down the rather large hill with the couch rolling, barely missing them. Rose shook her head and turned to Romana who was laughing. "Your father is an idiot baby girl."
"Rose." The Doctor called her name from the bottom of the hill. "This hurts a lot." Silence, followed by groaning. "A lot, a lot."
"Lucy~~. I need some help."
"Get it yourself." Lucy shouted back. She turned her attention back to her little Harry. "You'll never grow up to be as foolish as your father. No riding things down hills for you."

The Doctor stared over Rose's shoulder in amazement at the little creature that she now held in her arms. He had squeezed his body next to hers on the bed. The room was quiet since Jackie and Pete had left. "She's so little." He stroked her cheek with a long finger. "So perfect."
"You want to hold her?"
The Doctor froze and began to panic. "Its better that I don't. I could drop her or or or something just as awful!"
Rose rolled her eyes. "Theta. I have to use the bathroom. Hold her. Nothing bad will happen." Laying the baby in the Doctor's arms, Rose got up egear to use the bathroom.
The Doctor gulped and stared at his daughter. "Well, um, hello. Your very pretty right now you know. Very red but I'm sure you will be all nice and pink like your mother soon." The baby said nothing in response. "Oh, I don't know what to do. I never understood females. You are going to break my heart one day, I know that. I love you too much for you not to." He stroked her fingers when she gripped it tightly with all her might.
His heart skipped a beat and he felt his eyes well with tears. "Oh Romana. You are so perfect." He leaned close and kissed her forehead. "My perfect little baby girl. I'm going to make sure you are always safe." He held her against him. "Forever and ever and ever." He was terrified of her growing up already. A boy's love never changes. But someday his baby would fall in love with another man and he won't be the one who makes the sun rise and set and he wouldn't be frst in her heart.
Rose watched them, her heart clenching at the sight. He was in love. Head over heels in love with his daughter. It was so sweet. It would break his heart when she got a boyfriend and when she got married. But until than he was going to be a doting father.
Her daughter was going to be such a daddy's girl.

Harry looked at the stick in his hand and back at his best friend. Romana dug threw her drawers looking for the perfect finishing touch. Harry had long ago learned to let her have her way. It was just easier than arguing.
"Eureka!" She shouted and ran over to him, slamming a floppy hat onto his head. She stood back looking him up and down in her fluffy princess dress and costume jewelry. "Yes that's perfect. Now we are ready."
"Right. What are we playing again?"
She huffed as she led him down the stairs. "I told you before." As the reached the landing she twirled in her pink dress. "I am a princess who about to be forced to marry an evil villain. And you," She pointed at Harry. "Are the brave traveler that swoops in and saves me. Than we go off and explore the world together."
'Well,' Harry looked up at the tri-cornered hat. 'That explains the hat.'
The Doctor watched his daughter walked down the steps of their home in a pretty pink dress and costume tiari holding the hand of her best friend who was dressed in a long coat, a floppy hat, a scarf and a sword in his hands. "What are you doing sweetheart?"
"We're gonna go exploring Daddy!" She sent him a dazzling smile and waved at him. "Come on Harry!"
"OW!"
"Wrap the scarf around your neck Harry. You can't keep tripping on it."
