REVEALED AND UNDERSTOOD

Donna was suprised. She had never expected this, she had been told all these terrible things by the Doctor. She was sat chatting to Jackie Tyler. What on Earth was the Doctor talking about? This woman was lovely, quite easy to believe she is Rose's mother.

"Things have changed so much since the Doctor came along. He changed my baby girl, into a beautiful mature woman!" Jackie told Donna.

Donna nodded in agreement, still slightly afraid to disagree or get on Jackie's bad side, just incase the Doctor's comments happened to be true.

"He charged on bravardo, blew up my daughter's job, and whisked her away from me all in one night!" Jackie continued, Donna only half paying attention. She was distracted by the picture on the mantlepiece behind Jackie. It was a picture of a young Jackie, holding, who she assumed was Rose as a baby, but there was also a man. Rose's dad maybe? Of all the things the Doctor had mentioned about Rose and her family, he had never mentioned Rose's dad.

Donna interuppted Jackie's rambling. "Jackie, i hope you don't mind me asking, who's the man in the picture behind you?"

Jackie didn't need to turn around, she knew who she was talking about. She turned white.

"Pete. Rose's father, he died when she was six months old." Jackie explained.

Donna looked at Jackie sadly.

"I'm really sorry, how did he die?" Donna thought of what she had just, then added on. "If you don't mind me asking."

Jackie nodded, smiling grim. Her age suddenly appearing on her face.

"No it's alright, he ran out in front of a car, knowbody knows why. I think Rose knows though, you should ask her."

Donna nodded. This family had been through so much, especailly Jackie. Her husband had got himself killed, leaving her to raise a child on her own. Her daughter then vanishes off of the face of the Earth, later to find out she was travelling through out time and space, with and 900 year old alien!

She decided she would quite like Jackie Tyler, and she was sure that deep down, so did the Doctor.
