Disclaimer: I own nothing...again.
Upon stepping out of the TARDIS the Doctor found himself confronted with a party of very unhappy Judoon, fronted by the Architect.
"Doctor, I thought you had agreed to leave us."
"I had but the King of Managuam Ten released my husband, he was permitted to see our daughter, just once, I would also like that privilege."
"Is he in there?"
The Doctor shook his head.
"No. He refused to leave Managuam Ten. He said that he was better off there than with me and I'm beginning to see what he means."
"I suppose we could let you see the child, just once."
"Thank you every so much."
"Judoon, take him to the liquidation chamber."
"What? You said I could see the baby."
"I am well aware of that, but that is where she is being kept."
"You mean you're going to liquidate her?"
"Yes."
The Doctor felt sick, he had never felt the urge to kill before, well not really but this took the biscuit, they kidnapped his husband and his daughter, stole her and took her to be executed before she had even been named, never the less the Doctor had never been as dangerous as he was right now, right now he had no plan and something so precious and close to his hearts to lose, many species and cultures of the Universe could tell you that the Doctor made ever more dangerous when something he loves is on the line.
"Take me too her."
And so the Doctor, right now one of the most dangerous beings in the Universe was escorted by a mere two Judoon to the Liquidation chamber, the process was all automatic so there was no need for any staff to operate it from inside the room which was a good job because the Doctor had a plan forming and the less people involved the better. The Architect came along and entered a code into the door panel, once it slid back there, in the centre of the chamber was his daughter, encased in a reinforced plastic incubator.
"Can I hold her?"
"If you wish. It's a pity she's such a danger, she really is very beautiful."
The Doctor bent down and picked his daughter up out of the incubator, her eyes were the Masters, that fact alone made the Doctor smile.
"Hmm...Gets that from her mother. If it's such a pity you're going to liquidate her then why are you?"
"Safety of the Universe is more important than one child's beauty."
"When it's my child it's not."
In the blink of an eye and before anyone could do anything the Doctor blew the lights with his sonic screwdriver and darted out the room.
"Get after him!"
The Doctor could hear the heavy footsteps of several angry Judoon following behind him, but that didn't matter to him, all that mattered right now was getting the bundle of joy in his arms back to the TARDIS safe and sound which wasn't easy considering the footsteps behind him were growing in number. It was ever so difficult for him to find his way out, all the corridors looked alike, he was running on pure instinct.
In the TARDIS the Master was pacing back and forth biting his nails worrying, he had the monitor on watching for any signs of the Doctor approaching so he could open the doors, the coordinates were already programmed for the Vortex, all he needed was for the Doctor to be in here safe with their daughter, he'd flick the switch and they'd be safe...well safe as safe could be.
There seemed to be a lot of commotion going on outside, indicating that something was going on, the corridor was tinged red, the alarms were blaring and the voices of the Judoon over the speakers yelling instructions. Suddenly the Doctor came into view running down the corridor towards the TARDIS, sonic screwdriver aimed at the doors, the doors flew open and he just reached the doors, stretching his arms out with baby enclosed, the Master ran forward and took hold of her.
"Quick! Dematerialize!"
He turned to shut the doors and the last thing he remembers before it all went black was a red light and the sound of a shot ringing out.
The Master hadn't noticed and hurried with his husband's instructions and put them in the Vortex sealing the doors, once done he breathed out, looked down at the baby who was screaming at the top of her lungs, the Master tried shushing her but failed.
"Doctor do you know what's wrong with her?...Doctor?"
It was then the Master looked and found the Doctor on the floor by the doors unconscious. Next to the pilot seats a crib materialized, the Master placed the baby inside and then rushed to his husband, thankfully he was still alive, the shot had hit around his shoulder and according to the scan the Master did using the sonic his collar bone was broken.
Sighing a breath of relief that the injury was easily fixed the Master relaxed a little and tried to focus on what had happened, there was no doubt in the Master's mind that this was a dangerous life to live for a child, their baby girl couldn't live like this, he couldn't live like this. Deciding that they needed a talk the Master fused the Doctor's collar bone back to how it was meant to be and then picked him up, he carried him the short distance to the infirmary and kissed him.
"I am so sorry." He whispered
He felt terrible, he'd nearly lost the Doctor then, any lower and the laser would have gone right through his right heart and he would have died, no regeneration possible. It was unfathomable to him. The cot he'd put the baby in now appeared beside the Doctor's bed, the baby was still crying, the Master picked her up and cradled her.
"It's okay, daddy's just sleeping. He'll be okay, he'll sleep for a while."
He fed her and they both just sat there and watched the Doctor, waiting for any signs of movement.
This went on for a whole week, the baby still without a name, the Master didn't want to name her without her father awake. They had just returned from a bedtime bath and he was settling down into the chair to feed her when the Doctor groaned.
"My head..."
"Doctor, now take it easy."
"Where am I?"
"You're home. You're fine you just had a broken collar bone but I fixed that."
"Good, good." It suddenly seemed to dawn on him just why his collar bone got broken "Oh my gods, the baby, where is she?"
"She's here, I've got her. Would you like to feed her?"
"Yes. The only memories I have of her is running for my life with her looking up at me terrified."
The Master sat on the edge of the Doctor's bed and handed her over along with the bottle
"Wow. She looks like you."
"Thanks. She told me that you said I looked beautiful."
"Huh?"
"Telepathic."
"Aww...I've missed all that."
"Well we've cleared all that miss understanding up now. I told her that you weren't kidnapping her from those people, you were rescuing her."
"Hmm...Still don't know what we're going to do. We can't live on the run."
"I know, so against my better judgement I've taken measures against it. In the week you've been asleep they've been approved."
"I wasn't asleep, I was in a Healing Coma."
"You were snoring your box off."
The Doctor smiled and looked down at the little girl he could only describe as a Master Lookalike.
"So what did you do?"
"I have registered us as the new Time Lord empire with the Shadow Proclamation, I did some research while you were sleeping and according to one of the old records of the High Council of the Time Lords, they employed a failsafe should anything happen during Time Experiments or planet Destruction."
"Oh. Go on."
"If anything should happen and very few members of the Time Lord race survived, they would be entitled to the full protective powers of the Shadow Proclamation until they reached a point where they could become self sustained."
"How come they didn't know?"
"The current Architect wasn't in charge then. The message was never passed on and it was never archived. So now my darling hubby, we are protected members of the Shadow Proclamation."
"So they won't chase us?"
"No. Not until we become self-sustainable, which means our own planet, which will never happen...well not now, in several hundred years maybe...but it means the baby is safe, but before she can be given full protective privileges they want a name."
"Wait you haven't named her yet?"
"No, I wanted you to be awake. You did the research after all."
"You sure?"
"Yeah."
"Okay, I'd like to call her Andorra Astra Saxon."
The Master smiled.
"Saxon?"
"Yeah, I want her to have her very brave mother's name."
The Master looked down at Andorra.
"Is that your name? Astra. Little Andorra Saxon."
Soon the baby started making fussy noises.
"I think Madame is sleepy, c'mon then lets leave daddy get some sleep."
"No. I've slept enough. Put Andorra to bed and you and I can spend some time together."
"No sex love."
"No I meant...well we haven't spent much time together, I've missed you."
As soon as Andorra was in her crib and fast asleep the Master and the Doctor went to bed, a moment of silence passed before the Master grabbed the Doctor and kissed him passionately.
"I thought you were going to give me a scalding for letting all that happen."
"I was angry with you at first, then when I realised what you did to get her back I realised that I was happy this way and you couldn't have prevented what happened on Managuam Ten."
"It really is you know. If I had been there it wouldn't have happened at all."
"That doesn't matter now, we're safe and we are never going back there again."
"So what would you like to do now?"
"I want to go to Earth."
"Master..."
"I know, I know but come on. Just to rub it in their faces, we can go on holiday while we're at it."
The Doctor smiled,
"You know, despite you're still evil on occasion, I wouldn't have you any other way."
"Good because I don't plan on changing soon."
"So you sure you wanna show Andorra off to them?"
"Well if they want to come see us then that's fine, I won't go looking for them and neither will you."
"No I won't. Alright then come on, we'll take her to a park, I know a beautiful one."
"We'll go when she wakes up. I'll get a bag ready and make sure she's got a pushchair."
"Right and I'll find the coordinates in the book."
"You have a book?"
"Yes, a book for Parks, Beaches, water parks...you know all the fun things, they're colour coded too."
The Master chuckled, shook his head and went off to make sure they had everything ready for Andorra while the Doctor went off in search of the big black book that contained all his collected coordinates.
AN: Hope you enjoyed, this chapter was really hard, I wrote the ending about 25 times, I think I got it in the end though.
