In the Last Chapter:

"Alexandra? It's your mum talking. Listen. I know that I haven't called you in a while, but I've been very busy. Your father and I got a divorce last month and I've been meaning to tell you but I was way too busy. Paper work and such, and well, I'd like to see you.

So, anytime you want to drop by I could do with the company. This big house seems a bit lonely now. Not that I'm not glad I finally kicked out that no good father of yours. Well, I guess that's it. Oh and I love you. Ok, bye."

Chapter Three
The Doctor's POV

"We don't have to go." Lexi said as we walked back to the TARDIS. Listening to the message her mum had left had given me the impression that she and Lexi weren't very close. Lexi's reaction had confirmed it.

The time is getting late
But I don't want to go home
I'm in no hurry baby time can wait
'Cause I don't want to go home

"No," I told her, "Actually, I'd love to meet her. Also, she obviously really wants to talk to you." We entered the TARDIS.

"I'm not sure I want to talk to her. She hasn't exactly been the greatest Mum. We don't exactly get along."

"I never got along with my dad. Now I wish I had spent more time with him."

"Are you trying to tell me I'll regret it?" She asked raising an eyebrow.

"I'm not trying to tell you anything. I'm asking a question; where am I setting the TARDIS for?" She chuckled.

"Alright, we'll go but it's your loss because now you have to put up with my mum."

I said nothing and set the coordinates.

Listen to the man sing his song
I don't want to go home
I don't mind if it takes all night long
'Cause I don't want to go home

Lexi's POV

"Alexandra!"

That was how my mum answered the door. I winced at the use of my full name but forced a smile as my over excited mother grabbed me into a hug.

"Hi Mum." I said after she had released me.

"Hullo! I'm the Doctor." The Doctor said shaking her hand firmly. She looked at him funnily at first but then shook back just as firmly.

"I'm Marie. Marie Steler. I'm going to have to get used to using my given name." She added almost as a mental note to herself.

"Can we come in?" I asked after the Doctor had let go of her hand.

"Oh! Of course, where are my manners?" She said opening the door wider and leading us in.

I know we had to try
To reach up and touch the sky
Whatever happened to you and I
I don't want to go home

It was like a flash back to my childhood. The white walls were now a horrid forest green, but that was the only thing that had changed in the small two bedroom flat.

I sat down on the couch in the middle of the room and my mum disappeared into the kitchen. It was a couch I hadn't sat on since I was a teenager. The Doctor plopped down next to me and put a comforting arm around me. He knew that I was feeling uncomfortable with this whole situation. I gave him an appreciative smile. Then I remembered that this was his idea and hit him.

"Ow!" He mouthed silently rubbing his arm as my mum walked back in and sat down a tray with three coffee mugs full of tea. The Doctor took one and took a big swig from it. I could have told him that was a mistake. He barely managed to hold back the imminent gag that followed and when my mum looked away to tend to her own tea he gave me his familiar "ick" face followed by a shiver of disgust. At the risk of revealing his opinion of the tea I stifled my giggle.

"So Mum," I said trying to fill the awkward silence, "Last we talked you had broken your arm, how is it now?"

"It's fine," She said glancing momentarily at the arm in subject, "My doctor said it was just a minor fracture and the cast has been off for awhile."

"That's good."

"I once lost my hand on Christmas." The Doctor added while he spooned sugar into his tea.

"You lost your hand?" My mum repeated amused.

"Yeah, and my friend found it."

"Well, I suppose that's good. I see that you have reattached it."

"Hmm?" The Doctor asked, then realizing what she was implying he started to explain, "Oh no! That hand grew into my clone and helped save the universe, I just grew another one." I smacked his arm.

Look at how all the people stare
I don't want to go home
In their minds I know they've all been there
And I don't want to go home

"He's kidding." I told my mum and her worried look melted into an uncomfortable laugh. Next to me the Doctor pouted and rubbed his arm. "So you and Dad finally made it a official hmm..?"

"Yeah," She answered simply, "It was long over due. You know that don't you?"

"Yeah," I agreed, tapping my finger against the Doctor's hand and look down at the carpeted floor.

"But enough about me," My mum said putting her tea down. "What have been up to?"

I want to hear people laughing and having a good time
I want to know why she told me she had to go
Why did she leave me lonely?

"Oh just this and that." I answered vaguely, "Saving the world! Lots of running." The Doctor grinned at this.

"Are you still in those city musicals?" She asked.

"No, I've been with the Doctor, traveling."

"Oh that's nice. I've been meaning to go and see one, and now that I have the time you've stopped."

"You could have made the time Mum." I managed not to yell, but I was upset and my mum noticed. She decided not to push the subject.

I know the words to this song are real
I don't want to go home
I know he's talking 'bout the way I feel
And I don't want to go home

"So how did you two meet?" She inquired instead.

"This guy was hitting on me in a pub and the Doctor scared him off. It was very gentlemanly and what not." The Doctor smiled before picking up his tea, which was now mostly sugar.

"And you've been sleeping together for how long?"

Next to me the Doctor choked on his tea.

Notes: Song: "I Don't Want to Go Home" by: Bruce Springsteen. Ok sorry this chapter is so short….its more of a filler to get some background info on Lexi and pretty soon 2 maybe 3 chapters Jack is going to join the story. =)
