Inside the Tardis Moments after Donna's wedding/Before Regeneration
"Never Amy..."
It was the last thing the Doctor; the tenth reincarnation of himself thought of when he entered his Tardis. Alone, no Donna by his side as she had been that day in the Library. No that Donna was dead; dead and for the better. At lest for her. At least now, without him and his deadly travels she would have a chance to live a normal life.
A normal life with a husband who loved her, and possible two children. He had already made secret previsions for a least one. A tiny seed planted so that at the exact moment in time; the right moment, it would begin to bloom.
Call it an "I'm sorry" gift for the pain in the library; the pain he had taken away from her but still needed to make up for. Or was it the fact that, and even though she had begged him to never let her forget Amy. Amy her daughter that she had given up so long ago.
Yes that was it; that was very much it. He had gone against her wishes and taken something from her that he could never replace. How he did it he still had no clue; after all it was just supposed to be the time she had spent with him. But then again it wasn't as if mind erasing was a art of perfection, there was always those minor glitches that occurred when playing around with the human brain.
Human brain... He thought, what it would be like to have a mere human brain. All the pain and suffering he wouldn't see, and to have one life; one heart.
Yes he had been human once; human enough to fall in love with a mortal woman. Human enough to marry, and have a child with. Of course that never really did happen; it was just a glimpse into the future before some alien species came along and ruined it for him.
Ruined it as they always did; the Doctor was never meant to be happy. He had destroyed so many things; so many lives, so why would he even dream of a life in which he was happy.
But still, and even with that knowledge, and the fact that his body was about to regenerate into yet another incarnation of himself he didn't want to go. He wasn't ready to trade himself in, and he wasn't afraid to let that be known verbally by saying
"But I don't want to go." before everything began to glow.

Home of Donna Temple-Noble and Shaun Temple
During the Regeneration
It was Christmas time all over the globe, but no place showed that more then the home of Donna Temple-Noble and her new husband Shaun Temple.
Wilf Mott and Sylvia Noble; Donna's father, and Grandfather had just left after having a catered dinner, but still their coffee cups; a small reminder of them being there sat on the mahogany coffee table.
"Donna; I thought your mother was going to fall over when she opened her Christmas gift." Donna turned in the direction her husbands voice came from which was directly to her right, and adjacent to the living room where she sat. It was a large, modern kitchen which was designed from the cupboards to utensils in Donna's own style.
"I know." Donna answered, and then pulled a quilted blanket over her legs. "It was priceless."
"Your grandfather was very happy to hear the news." Shaun smiled as he added sugar to the cup. "But I think he already knew; still don't know how your mum didn't."
"My mum didn't know, because she didn't want to know." Donna smiled then took a breath. "I'm used to it though; she's getting better."
"Still I don't understand why, or how she couldn't notice her only daughter was pregnant." Shaun entered the room to find Donna with her legs curled up under her. "I made you a cup-a-tea to help settle your stomach."
"Thank you." Donna accepted the tea, but put it on the table near her. "Shaun there's something I've been meaning to talk to you about."
"Is it the baby's name?' Shaun paused then sat near her. "Because I really don't mind Amy..."
"No it's not that; but thank you." Donna paused and thought about the name. "I know how much you had wanted to name the baby after your mother."
"Then we name her Amy Jessica..." Shaun paused then took hold of Donna's hand. "Or we can save Jessica for the next baby."
"Next baby?" Donna's eyes widened. "How many children do you plan on having?"
"As many as you want; it's all up to you." Shaun paused then asked. "But we don't have to talk about that right now; tell me what you wanted to talk about?"
" Shaun, I don't want to go to Scotland..." Donna Temple-Noble sat on her sofa with her legs curled up underneath her and a purple throw blanket over them. "I like it here in London; besides this is my grandfather's first grandchild, and I want him to be there for her as he was there for me."
"Yeah I know..."
"No you don't..." Donna paused; she knew it was for the better with Shaun's promotion, but it wasn't as if they needed the money. It wasn't as if they didn't have enough money from the lottery they one. "I'm happy here in London. And besides what about Gran-Dad; I want him in my daughter's life as he was in mine."
"And he will be" Shaun assured Donna. "Wilf will be a big part of our daughter's life, I promise that but I have no choice in that matter of moving."
"It's not fair... All my friends are here, and my family. " Donna paused. "You know it's almost impossible for me to make new friends; hell I have a hard time keeping hold of the ones I have."
"Donna you're too hard on yourself; you'll make friends." Shaun knelt near Donna and took hold of her hand. "lot's of friends; especially once the baby comes."
"Yeah I guess you're right; but still..." Donna brought her hand to cover her eyes. "Okay I'm sick of this morning sickness; morning sickness. Bloody thing lasts all day. And not just for that, but I thought it was supposed to go away after the first trimester."
"Doctor said it could last throughout your entire pregnancy." Shaun paused then reached over to retrieve her tea cup; handing it to her. "Here drink some of you're tea; see if that helps."

Inside the Tardis
After regeneration
Glowing; lots of Glowing and a very angry Tardis that decided to burst into flames mid flight. And did I mention lots of glowing...
Gold; like stardust coming out of the Doctor as he screamed in agony.
Screamed in agony as one form fought to overcome the dying form, till finally it happened.
The eleventh regeneration had taken place; the tenth was no more.. The eleventh had arrived, and as with most generations so did the changes.

Home of Donna Temple-Noble and Shaun Temple
After the Regeneration
"I know I'm sounding selfish again; but I guess changes can be good thing." Donna nodded after a moment of hesitation, then sipped at her tea. She wasn't fully taken by the idea, but some part of her knew it had to happen. "Just look at my mum; except for when she found out I was pregnant, she's been treating me like a human being. I actually believe she might love me."
"Donna, of course she loves you." Shaun kissed Donna's cheek. "Sylvia; she just has a hard time of showing it."
"Yeah he always has." Donna rolled her eyes just a little. "My dad loved me; always spoiled me is what my mum used to say. "She's never going to amount to nothing if you keep doing everything for her"
"But you did..."
"And what's that?" Donna paused and thought about what she had just asked. "Oh Shaun that sounded horrible, but you know what I mean. Don't you?"
"Yes Donna I do."
"I don't know, maybe my dad did spoil me; but I think it was just because my mum was so hard on me." Donna paused. "I think she really wanted a boy; you're not disappointed were not having a boy?"
"Donna, as long as the baby has one head, two legs and five fingers on each hand." Shaun paused then added. "And she's healthy, whether she's a boy or a girl does not matter in the least to me."

Inside the Tardis
After regenration
"Legs, I've still got legs" Yes he still had legs; he was happy about that. So happy in-fact he lifted his left one and kissed his knee.
"Good. Arms, hands. ooh, fingers, lots of fingers." again he was pleased that his body was in tact and in the right place; you knew this by the way he touched each arm and played with all his ten fingers.
"Ears, yes, eyes too." the doctor continued his self examination, frantic to make sure he had not been some out turned into a mutant; or worse a Dalek.
" Nose, I've had worse. Chin, blimey. Hair..." Yes hair; he always had nice hair... Nicely cut and...
"I'm a girl!" Cheekbones, Adam's apple... Check. " No, no! I'm not a girl." again hair..."I'm still not ginger."
Still not Ginger; Still NOT Ginger.. Oh well not the time and moment for him to be thinking about that when...
"There's something else, there's something important..." the Doctor Paused. "I'm I'm I'm crashing... GERONIMO!"
