After the War
The war was over, the Dalecks had been destroyed and the universe was safe from them. Like everything else the destruction of the Dalecks came with a price; The Time Lords were all dead and his home planet of Gallifrey was gone. He walk the streets of Cardiff, he had left his TARDIS charging beneath the rift. After the war he search the universe for other Time Lords who had also survive and after years of searching and finding none of his kind the painful realization hit him; he was alone, the last of his people, the last of the Time Lords.
How long the war lasted he didn't know. The Doctor and the Time Lords had fought the Dalecks in different times: jumping to past, present, future; in the end he was alone.
More than once he wished that he had destroyed the Dalecks when the Time Lords had sent him, Sarah, and Harry to Skaro to stop their creation. He would have done it. He would have kill Davros and destroy the Dalecks if he had know then that letting them live would coursed the death of his people. There was time when he would wake from nightmares drench in sweat. Cousins, Aunt, uncles, his father, daughter, and granddaughter: he would see them in his dreams; calling him reaching out for him, asking him why he let them die. The Doctor had begun to be afraid to sleep; for every time that he closed his eyes he was back in the war, hearing the cold metallic voices of the Dalecks. There are times when he would wake up crying reaching with his mind for the presence of the Time Lords only to remember that they were all dead. Nights like this he would walk the many corridors of the TARDIS to try to clear his mind of the dreadful nightmares. It had been during one of this many walks that he found himself in a room with its walls cover pictures of him, his family friends and companions. There were pictures of his three daughters, and granddaughter; the pictures had been taken many centuries ago. He saw each picture remembering each companion and the adventures that they had. He had learned many things from them, he had become a better man because of them, and for them he fought in the war.
He held a picture of him and Sarah Jane taken in his third regeneration few days after she became his companion. He grabbed another picture this one was taken in his fourth regeneration wearing that ridiculously long scarf wrapped around him and Sarah Jane. His Sarah Jane, his most beloved companion, what was she doing at the moment he wanted to know. He had promised her that he would come back to her after he survived the Time War.
The Doctor walked down a street of Bannerman Road on his way to Sarah Jane's house. He left his faithful TARDIS some blocks away, wanting to surprise Sarah Jane. The Doctor didn't know what date it was he was in a hurry and hadn't checked the date. The Doctor began to ran telling himself that the sooner he would be at her side
He should have seen where he was going because he crashed in a tree right across Sarah Jane's house. He cursed the tree and who ever planted it there. There on the driveway of her own home was his one and only Sarah Jane; beside her was Harry Sullivan. Sarah Jane looks so beautiful in that blue dress with her hair held in a loose ponytail and pregnant. Wait-what- PREGNANT! How did that happened, how long had he been gone; wait-hold on, was that a wedding ring on her finger?
No, no, no, no, oh dear Gallifrey no! Sarah Jane couldn't be married, she just couldn't be. The Doctor was hiding behind the tree trying to hold back the tears as he watches Harry with an arm around Sarah's shoulder walking towards the house. The Doctor left his spot behind the tree and left Bannerman Road returning to his faithful TARDIS.
It was only when he entered the TARDIS that the Doctor let himself cry. How could Sarah do this to him; had he not promised her that he would come back? Oh Gallifrey, what had he done to deserve such punishment? What did he do to have the Universe against him? He had lost his family, friends, and his planet in the Time War. Now he has lost the woman that he loves to another man. With tears in his eyes he activated the TARDIS sending it into the time stream: he didn't know that in Deffry Vale a few years later in his Tenth regeneration he would meet her once again.
