The TARDIS rattled and landed with a thud. Rose and John were thrown to the ground, landing next to David who was already seated on the floor.

"Ugh, that was rough." Rose said while rubbing her head. "You alright baby?"

"Yeah, just a bit disoriented." John replied.

Rose chuckled. "I was talking to David. But glad to know you're fine too." David giggled as John gave her a pout.

"So…did we get back?" Rose asked.

John went to the door. "Rose Tyler…" He took her free hand that wasn't holding on to David's. "We're home." He smiled and followed them out the door.
*************************************************************************************

"Whew, I wonder what time it is. Hopefully not too long after we left." Rose said as they approached the door. John gave her a look and opened it.

"Oh, I wasn't expecting you back so early. Is everything alright?" Jackie said, startled at their entrance.

Rose and John shared a puzzled look and then noticed the clocks. It had only been an hour since they left. "Yeah, he just got a bit tired so we decided to come home." Rose said, lying only a bit.

"Oh, I guess I shouldn't have agreed, but Tony's friends are coming over here for a play date. I thought it would be nice since he seems to be over there all the time. Maybe you know them sweetie, Joshua and Ella?" Jackie asked David.

"Yeah, we're friends! And Grandma, guess what I saw today?" David chirped.

"What sweetie? What did you see?" Jackie asked.

"Daddy has a twin! He looks just like him!" David exclaimed and ran off.

"Oh…?" Jackie was confused as she watched him scurry to his room.

"We saw some monkeys and one of them did bear quite a liking to him." Rose said with a huge grin on her face.

"Hey!" John exclaimed. They both laughed.

"So, when will they be here? Should we get out of the way?" John asked.

"I'm not sure, but I think she said-" The doorbell rang. "-right now. Tony! They're here!"

Jackie opened the door and saw a flash of red hair.

"Sorry, Lee's a bit under the weather right now, but I promise you these are my kids too." The woman chuckled.

John's mouth gaped open. "…Donna?" He cautiously approached the door.

"Hello, you must be Tony's father." Donna said, slightly confused.

John was almost speechless as both Tony and David emerged from the hallway. Joshua and Ella came deeper into the house and joined them.

"No, I'm-John. John Smith. I'm David's father." He responded.

"How come we've never noticed her before?" Rose whispered to her mother.

"It was always the dad who answered the door, I…didn't know." They were just in as much shock as John was.

"Oh Donna." He went and gave her a hug.

"Oh, well…you must be an affectionate family." Donna replied, a bit uncomfortable. John let go to look at her. He had tears in his eyes. "I'm sorry, was it something I said? I can leave, if you want, be back in a few hours-"

"No. No, it's just…It's nice to meet you." He responded and took a step back next to Rose.

"Nice to meet you too. John Smith, is it?" He nodded. "Nice name. A bit peculiar." She chuckled.

"I'm Rose. Rose Tyler. I'm David's mum… we're married." She motioned between her and John.

"Ah, you kept your name too? Rose Tyler does sound a bit better than Rose Smith. I'm Donna Noble."

John fainted slightly. "Oh my gosh, is he okay?" Donna asked.

"Yeah, just a bit, overwhelmed, I guess, is all." Rose responded and led John to the couch.

"Are you sure? Maybe I can help?" Donna said with concern.

"I'm sure he just needs a good rest, we'll be fine. I don't want to keep you here." Rose responded.

"Oh alright. I'm a phone call away in case they get to be too much for you to handle. Or if you just need a quiet place." She headed for the door. "I hope you feel better, Mr. Smith." She said as she walked out the door.

John came to and noticed where he was. He quickly got up and bolted toward the door. "Donna!" His voice reverberated long after he went from the room.

"Should we go after him?" Jackie asked her daughter.

"No." She smiled. "He'll be fine." She watched as John caught up with Donna, walking on through the park, laughing like the best of friends. They turned left and disappeared into the sunset.
