Title: Baby Doctor.

Chapter Four

Jackie held onto the Doctor as they walked inside the kitchen and Jackie was amazed on how clean and organized it was. They walked to the table when she sat him down and he looked at the ceiling.

"What do you want to eat?" asked Jackie and he looked at her.

"COOKIES!" shouted the Doctor and she frowned.

"Nononono! No cookies! They're bad for you! How about some nice fruit?" asked Jackie, looking at the fruit bowl on the counter and the Doctor frowned.

"Ooooooooooooooooo-key."

"We have some apples, bananas…"

"Yeah! I love 'nanas!" said the Doctor and Jackie took three long bananas from the fruit bowl and went to find a bowl. The Doctor watched her then saw the pantry door and got up. He walked to the door then opened the door and saw the shelves filled with boxes of cookies and sugar coated cereals, bags of sweets and jelly babies, jars of honey, jelly, peanut butter and cans of spray cheese and whip cream.

"WOW!" said the Doctor while he took out a box of cookies and Jackie turned around.

"Put that back!" shouted Jackie and he scowled at her.

"NO! MINE!" shouted the Doctor and Jackie placed her hands on her hips.

"I said put that back!" shouted Jackie and the Doctor's lower lip quivered.

"Nonononononononononononononononononono!" shouted the Doctor then he dropped the box of cookies onto the floor, laid down on his back, screamed, shook his head and started kicking and hitting the floor.

'I don't believe this! He's having a tantrum!' thought Jackie then she remembered the glass ball in her pocket and took it out. She held it tightly in her hand as she looked at him and her eyes went into tight slits.

"Oi! You stop acting like a two year old right now!" shouted Jackie and the glass ball flared. The Doctor gagged then laid still and she ran to him. She knelt down when she brushed his hair back then looked at the door. "Rose!"

-------------------------------------

Rose ran inside the room when she saw the Doctor on the floor and ran to them. She knelt down as Jackie held his hand and she looked at Jackie.

"What happened?!" asked Rose and Jackie explained. They watched as the Doctor's eyes fluttered open and Rose smiled at him. "Hello."

"Hello," said the Doctor. They helped him up and he looked around. "I want to know two things. HOW did we get back to the TARDIS and WHY am I wearing blue jim-jams with bunnies on them?!"

Rose explained as the Doctor looked at Jackie and she shook.

"Give it to me," said the Doctor softly.

"She didn't mean to do it," said Rose.

"GIVE IT TO ME!" shouted the Doctor and Jackie handed him the glass ball.

"I'm so-sorry," whispered Jackie and he glared at her.

"Do you have ANY idea what this is?!"

"That alien said it was a boomul," said Rose.

"And do you know WHAT a boomul does?!"

"N-no," said Jackie.

"It makes what the owner orders happen! That is why you were able to get me to act like a two year old! THAT is why I wanted to leave! In the wrong hands, these things are dangerous!"

"Oi! Stop shouting at my mum!" said Rose and he turned and glared at her.

"I want to go home now," whispered Jackie and the Doctor headed for the door.

"Oooooooooooooooh, you bet we are!" growled the Doctor and, a few minutes later, the TARDIS hummed and disappeared.

---------------------------------------------

With a bump, the TARDIS landed as the Doctor looked at the view screen and pushed the black framed glasses up. He had gotten redressed as Rose looked at him and he headed for the doors. He unlocked the doors then opened the doors and glared at them.

"Out!" shouted the Doctor.

"Oi! No need to shout!" said Rose.

"I want her out now!"

"I'm so sorry," sniffed Jackie, running outside and Rose walked to him. She walked outside as he slammed the doors then locked them and headed for the captain's chair. He sat down, placing his feet up on the console, and looked at the ceiling. He closed his eyes as he tried to forget what happened and the lights pulsated behind the glass.

-----------------------------------------

Jackie placed the kettle on the burner when she heard a knock and walked out of the kitchen. She walked to the door then opened the door and looked at the Doctor.

"Come to yell at me some more?" asked Jackie.

"No. May I come in?" asked the Doctor and she thought about it. She moved back as she let him in and the Doctor looked around.

"Is Rose home?" asked the Doctor. Rose walked into the hallway and he saw the anger in her eyes.

"Get out!" shouted Rose.

"I really need to talk to Jackie."

"No!"

"I just put some tea on. Care for some?" asked Jackie. She closed the door and he nodded. They walked into the kitchen as he sat down and Jackie poured the tea into three mugs. She placed them on the table while Jackie and Rose sat down and the Doctor sipped on the tea.

"Well?!" growled Rose.

"First off, I want to say that I am sorry that I yelled. I mean it's not every day that I get turned into a two year old. I know you didn't mean to," said the Doctor. Jackie placed her hand on the top of his and smiled.

"That's all right," said Jackie.

"The second thing I want to say is I forgot what it was like to have a mother. See, where I come from…"

"Where is that?" asked Jackie.

"A planet called Gallifrey."

"Where is that?"

"It's in the constellation of Kasterborous."

"Sounds like a nice place."

"Yes."

"What was your mother like?"

"She was wonderful. See, Time Lord children..."

"What's a Time Lord?"

The Doctor explained as they sipped on the tea and he wasn't sure if she understood what he was saying.

"Anyway, the children are taken from birth and placed in the nursery…" said the Doctor.

"The parents don't raise them?"

"No."

"That's terrible!"

"The thing is my mother, you see, was different. She wanted to try to raise her child. My father refused but she insisted and he let her raise me. Anyway, when I was old enough to go to the Academy, where I learned what I needed to know to become a Time Lord, I had to say goodbye to her. I still remember the look in her eyes when I left," said the Doctor and Jackie patted his hand.

"It must have killed her inside. I know I would have died inside if Rose was taken from me when she was a baby. No mother should be parted from her child."

"Yes. But, in time, I made friends and turned out fine. Anyway, what I wanted to say is, you may be a pain in the neck…" said the Doctor and Rose glared at him.

"Oi!" shouted Rose and Jackie hushed her.

"BUT, you are a wonderful mother!" said the Doctor then got up and left the room. Rose got up, following him and he opened the door.

"Wait!" shouted Rose and he looked at her.

"Are you still coming with me?" asked the Doctor and she nodded. She watched as he walked closer and took something out of the pocket. It was a folded piece of paper as she tilted her head and he placed it in her hand.

"Give this to Jackie," said the Doctor then left and closed the door behind him. Rose looked at the piece of paper then walked back inside the kitchen and Jackie looked at her.

"Did he go?" asked Jackie.

"Yeah," said Rose, looking at the paper.

"Are you still going with him?"

"Yeah. He asked me to give you this," said Rose. She handed Jackie the piece of folded paper and Jackie took it.

"What is it?"

"Don't know," said Rose. Jackie opened it and they looked at what was on the paper.

"Oh!" gasped Jackie. She sniffed and the tears rolled down her cheek. On the paper was a childlike drawing of red grass, trees with silver leaves, a burnt orange sky, two yellow suns, a blue box with white windows and three people.

HOME was written at the top of the paper.

TARDIS was written above the blue box.

ME was written above the man with brown hair and was wearing a brown coat and a dark brown suit.

ROSE was written above the woman with yellow hair and was wearing a pink shirt and blue pants.

What made Jackie cry was what was written above the woman with the long yellow hair and was wearing a blue shirt and black pants.

There, written in big letters, was MUMMY.

Rose watched as Jackie got up, left the room, walked down the hallway and went into her bedroom. She walked to the dresser then opened the drawer and took out a metal box. She sat on the bed, opened the metal box and looked at what was inside. She looked at Rose's old report cards, school awards and childhood drawings, placed the piece of paper inside the metal box then placed the metal box back into the drawer. She closed the drawer when she looked at her reflection, smiled and wiped her eyes.

--------------------------------

The lights were low while the Doctor slept and the soft music played in the background. He sighed as he rolled over onto his back while someone walked inside and headed for the bed. Rose had let her in and told her where the Doctor's bedroom was as Jackie walked to the bed and smiled. She saw the teddy bear on the night table when she carefully tucked the teddy bear under his right arm then kissed the top of his head.

"Night, Sweetie," whispered Jackie then left the room and the Doctor opened one eye, watching her leave, looked the teddy bear and smiled.

"Night...Mummy," whispered the Doctor then yawned, rolled over onto his right side and went back to sleep, holding the teddy bear against his chest.
