"Alright we're here; you'll need a leash though." He said turning to look at the dog, who had disappeared. "DOCTOR! Where are you?" He yelled into the hallway. It had been one minute. One minute and he had wandered off.
That had to be a record, but then again he was Amy's dog. "DOCTOR, oh there you are!" The golden retriever padded back into the room, carrying a leash in his mouth. "Right, thanks," he said taking the leash from the dog and attaching it to Doctor's collar.
"Well let's go then." He put the baseball cap on and pulled the hood from his jacket over his head. They stepped outside of the Tardis into a park.
He took a deep breath and tried to pretend like he was just walking his dog on any other Sunday. He saw them at the playground. He quickly fished a newspaper out of the trash and sat down on a bench, Doctor sat next to him, panting slightly, as he pretended to read the sports section.
He watched them and couldn't help but wish he was there. That he was the one on the playground with them.
She sat on the ground just outside of the playground on an old blue quilt. Her legs were folded in front of her because her stomach was so large she couldn't tuck them in front of her anymore.
"Doctor! Be careful don't let her go on that enormous slide by herself." She said watching John run around the playground with their three year old daughter clutching to his hand.
He glanced back at her, "Rose, she's fine I promise." He said as he climbed up the slide behind her, enjoying it more than she was.
"Just be careful with her." She smiled as she watched her daughter sit in Johns lap and the two slid down the slide together. He was almost too wide to fit into the slide but they both made it down, her daughter laughing the entire way down.
After they reached the ground, Rose beckoned them over, "Come here Lynn. Mommy wants you to eat the pear she packed you for lunch." Jacqueline, who was named after the grandmother she never knew, ran over to her mother, her short blond curls falling in her face.
"Rose, why do you have to poison our daughter?" John said plopping down on the blanket next to her. He reached into Rose's bag and pulling out a peanut butter and banana sandwich.
"She like's pears," Rose shrugged handing their daughter the fruit. John reached into the bag again and pulled out a banana and waved in front of Jacqueline's face.
"Lynn, wouldn't you like a banana better than a yucky pear?" The three year old scrunched her face at the yellow fruit.
"Banana's are squishy." She took a bite of the pear and brushed a blond curl out of her face. She walked over to where Rose was sitting and sat down in between her legs.
John rubbed his hand over his face and looked up at his daughter. She was obviously his; they had the same eyes and she was incredibly brilliant. "She's your daughter." He said to Rose as he watched in disgust as Jacqueline took a large bite from a pear.
"Oh, Doctor!" Rose said picking up his hand and placing it on her stomach, "he's kicking again." Johns face changed instantly to one of wonder and joy.
Jacqueline put her half eaten pear into John's hand who was too distracted by the little boy inside of Rose's stomach to realize what had just been put in his hand. The little girl turned around and pressed her sticky hands onto Rose's stomach and then pressed her ear against it.
"Is that my brother in your tummy mommy?" She said looking up at Rose, who smiled down at her.
"Yes baby, that's your brother Peter." The little girl nodded and brushed another curl out of her hair.
"Oh yuck! Lynn what did you put in my hand!" John said standing up throwing the pear from his hand onto the grass.
"Daddy!" The girl whined, "You got my pear dirty." John glanced at the sad toddler.
"It's okay you can have a banana instead!" He said handing her the fruit. The girl examined it and then gently handed it back to him. She walked over to Rose's bag and pulled out a kite.
"Can I fly it?" She asked looking at John.
"Well, Daddy has to finish eating his lunch first. You can try to fly it by yourself for now and I'll help you after I'm done." The girl nodded and grabbed the kite. She ran around them, trying to get it to fly. Suddenly a burst of wind blew the kite up but she couldn't keep her grip on the string and it flew in to the air, over to where it crashed in front of the bench where the Doctor and Doctor were sitting.
"I'll get it," She said running after the kite. John turned around and watched her as she ran the short distance across the grassy field to where the kite had landed. He started to stand up to follow after her, until Rose grabbed his arm.
"You know who that is right?" She asked as her husband sat back down. He shook his head as he put his glasses on so he could see the man in the baseball cap more clearly. "I'll give you a hint, that's Amy's dog and that's not Rory."
"Ooooh, that's…"
"He's trying to spy on us." She said chuckling to herself as they watched the brave little blond girl venture her way over to the time lord who had her kite at his feet.
