Warning (sort of): This is jumping some time into the future. It'll go back to normal time in the next chapter.
Plot bunnies attacked. Please forgive me.
Gwen sat in the park, observing Anwen on her day off of work.
Anwen grabbed onto a branch and pulled herself higher into a tree. Where her sense of balance came from, no one knew. Certainly not Rhys, and though Gwen was nowhere near being a klutz, Anwen had the grace and balance of a gymnast.
"Be careful," Gwen warned.
Anwen rolled her eyes and continued on, grabbing onto another branch and swinging herself up.
"Gwen!" someone called.
Gwen turned, "Emma?" she gaped at the young woman walking towards her.
It had been years since Gwen had last seen her, and yet she looked nearly the same now as she did then.
"It is you," Emma laughed. "I can't believe it."
"I can't believe it."
"Mum, lookit!" Anwen shouted.
Gwen glanced up, spotting Anwen far above the ground, looking down on them.
"Be careful," Gwen called distractedly. She turned back to Emma, "What are you doing in Wales?"
"Visiting my fiance's family."
"Engaged?" Gwen's eyes lit up.
Emma nodded. "Are you and Rhys still together?"
"Yeah," Gwen said. "We got married. Had a kid."
"Really?"
"Yes; Anwen," Gwen turned, pointing to—
Anwen's footing slipped, making her scream and sending her plummeting down. A branch cracked as hit it. Just before she reached the ground, a man standing nearby dove underneath, catching her and carefully lowering her to the ground.
"Anwen!" Gwen screamed, racing towards them, her eyes locked on her daughter. "Is she alright?"
The man looked at the girl in his arms. "I think so. Anwen? Are you okay?"
She stared up at him, her eyes wide. "A- arm."
"Let me see," he took her arm.
She shrieked in pain.
"Broken; thought so. You'll want to get her to the hospital."
Gwen finally caught sight of who it was that had rescued her daughter."You?"
He nodded curtly, getting to his feet.
"Th- thank you," Gwen stammered.
He smiled grimly, then turned on his heel and left.
"Doctor!" Gwen shouted.
He ignored her.
Gwen frowned, looking down at Anwen. "It'll be alright."
"I've called an ambulance," Emma said, appearing over Gwen's shoulder.
Gwen glanced back at the disappearing form of the Doctor. Obviously, he'd known this was going to happen; the Doctor rarely appeared out of dumb luck. So... why had he stopped it? Without him, the fall would've likely killed Anwen. And as far as she was aware, the Doctor wasn't keen on stopping specific deaths.
Gwen frowned, but turned back to her daughter, reminding herself to be grateful he had stopped it and to stop worrying why.
A/N: It's Ten on his companion tour in The End of Time. Gwen's not a companion, but I think Ten would've visited her and Ianto just to say "thanks for saving the world."
Also, any updates before Christmas will involved past Doctors (simply because I'm attempting to remain canon). If you have a request for a specific regeneration, please let me know in the reviews.
