Kind of going off canon a bit here, I think it should work if you ignore a couple of bits in The Doctor's Daughter. Hope you like it.

"Hey, wait!", Kate called to the Doctor. They were in an empty street; obviously the inhabitants had been threatened by the alien and had decided to stay indoors. Kate didn't know how they would be able to make a cover story this time, but she knew that they would work it out; they always did. The Doctor turned round with a smile on his face; Kate wondered what was funny. She also noticed that he was with a blonde haired girl this time, not brown. Where was Julia? The Doctor's face quickly fell when he saw Kate though; she tried not to be offended. He walked quickly over to Kate with the blonde haired girl; she noted that they were very friendly; she tried to comprehend the fact that she might also have a grandmother but then dismissed this idea when she noticed that there were no wedding rings. As a UNIT soldier she had been taught to be observant.
"What do you want?", the Doctor growled. Okay, this was not what how she had thought that this would go. Perhaps he had forgotten her. She persisted.
"Hi. I'm Kate", when there was no recognition in his face she tried, "Jenny's daughter?"
"That's nice. Again I ask, what do you want?", the Doctor asked again. 'Surely he couldn't have forgotten his own daughter', Kate thought.
"Um, nothing. You do know who Jenny is, don't you?", Kate asked.
The Doctor gave her a piercing look. "Enlighten me", he said.
"Your daughter?", she said.
The blonde girl looked sharply at the Doctor at this. "Doctor?", she asked him.
"Rose, don't listen to her. I would have told you if I had a daughter", he apologized to her.
"I have no idea what you're talking about", he said to Kate.
"Are you sure? Messaline, Hath, Donna, Martha?", Kate prompted.
"Really not ringing a bell", he said.
Then Kate realized. "Of course! You're a time traveler! This hasn't happened to you yet!", she said.
The Doctor nodded. "Must be", he said. "I probably shouldn't ask you this, but I really do have to ask, I have a daughter?", he asked.
"Yeah, called Jenny", Kate said again.
The Doctor laughed in shock. "Blimey! Not something that I've been told before, and that's saying something."
He looked at the blonde girl and then gasped as though as he had just realized something.
"What was that you were saying before? Martha and Donna? What about Rose?", the Doctor asked.
"Yeah, we don't know these people", Rose informed Kate.
"Oh. Martha and Donna are people that you will travel with", Kate said.
The Doctor jumped in. "You should probably say no more about that, Kate", he said with a worrying look to Rose. "This is not good at all".
"Sorry. I should have thought that you might not know me", Kate said quietly.
The Doctor nodded. "Hmm. But still, we're here now and there's a very slight possible chance that the world will explode in any minute but if it does then we can't do anything about it, so why don't you fill me in on stuff. I'll stop you at any chance that you start saying stuff that I really shouldn't be hearing about", the Doctor said. Rose gave a quick smile to Kate and the Doctor and Rose sat down on the pavement. Kate stood shocked for a minute before sitting down and then she started to talk. The Doctor told her not to say anything about the events on Messaline muttering something about fixed points and so Kate told stories about her family and her work at UNIT. The Doctor explained that he was so hostile to her when they first met because he tried to keep out of UNIT's way and he didn't want to have trouble. When Kate asked why he had been here today instead of any other day, he just shrugged. "Coincidence". And when she asked him why he was leaving, "You seemed to have everything under control. Despite what some people might think, we don't actually like to get involved unless necessary. And when it seems fun". They both smiled. "Purple aliens who are tricked by chocolate aren't exactly going to destroy the universe", he added.
In what seemed to be no time at all for Kate, he finished the chat. He leant forward to hug Kate and said goodbye. When Kate asked whether she should tell her mum about their meeting the Doctor paused.
"To be honest Kate, I have no idea. Probably'll be alright. The world has yet to collapse by our meeting so I suppose it never will. "
Rose hugged Kate as well and then they all stood up.
"I'm sorry for not being what you expected", the Doctor said.
Kate shrugged. "I'm used to expecting the unexpected".
The Doctor smiled. "See you again maybe".
"Nice to meet you Kate", Rose said.
And with that they were off, and tears started falling down Kate's face. She watched them as they walked round the corner, further apart than before. She strained to hear the sound of the blue box before turning to head home.
Hee, I'm sorry! I've tried to make it work but I'm aware that it might not. But whatever, I hope you enjoyed.
