Oh My TARDIS! Chapter 100! How the hell did we get here eh guys? This was only supposed to be a passing story to go between ep 1 and COE. Suddenly my little Nemo's all grown up. She has a fiancé, a girlfriend, the Doctor, a legion of roman followers. I just want to say I'm touched and astounded by the reaction you have had and I'm so grateful to all of you for the support you've given me and the love and loyalty you've shown to this story. It will always have a very special place in my heart. Not only because I love the way it has turned out but I'm so happy for the friends I have made writing it and the people who have been inspire to write again after reading. Thank you so much for your patience, your jokes, your tears and smiles, and most of all, your friendship. There's a little bit of all of you in Nemo and I hope you continue to enjoy this story, because it's all for you.

'sSydney: yep, confusion was my aim…and I do rather enjoy teasing you all :) Yeah I'll be doing Miracle Day, in fact I've already started so it won't be too long after this story-line.

Dwatlaskrhtcm: Don't worry you were meant to think it was Jack, just my teasing :) Jack's back here but something is defiantly up.

1945: Don't panic, I've been leading up to this for quite some time. Everything is perfectly planned out. Trust me. (oh and as for River, as far as I'm concerned she never actually gets with the Doctor. I don't mind her as a one off character but she's annoys me the longer she's around so I tend to leave her bits out of my story. But don't worry. I know who belongs with who.) as for the story, thank you for informing me. I've had a look and it is a little similar but as far as I'm concerned, she isn't getting much publicity from it, and it's just about different enough to pass most peoples scrutiny.

Sonotalady: I like the way you got around it saying you'd already reviewed :) don't worry you didn't miss anything confusion is rife within the Nemo fanbase. I'm so glad to be back because I really did miss everyone and my writing.

Oh dear me. I seem to have upset some of you. Well I hope you don't give up on me. Don't worry things will work themselves out and all is not as it seems...

Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
If I make you feel second best
Girl, I'm sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind

'Daisy no, no that's not a chew toy.' The Doctor swept his daughter off the floor of the console room and balanced her on his hip. The little girl was less than a year old and she was already causing havoc with the TARDIS. The ship seemed to have taken offence to the little girl tampering with her mechanisms, Winter had already saved her from near electrocution four times. Every day the Doctor worried that she would ask him to let their daughter grow up on earth but when he had timidly mentioned the idea she had laughed it off and refused point blank to any such plan. Daisy gurgled happily and pulled at his hair, bringing him out of his day-dream. He turned to grin at her. 'Yes alright. You want to play but mummy's having a shower and daddy is trying to resolve the damage you've cause to his ship.' The little girls eyes widened and her bottom lip stuck out. Sometimes he regretted speaking baby, it meant she knew he understood her and he couldn't just ignore her. 'Ok how about a compromise, you get this,' he produced a small teddy from his pocket, 'and I get fifteen minutes to fix some circuitry.' She reached out for the teddy and he smiled, placing her down on the glass floor with the bear. 'Thank you.'

He engrossed himself in the area beneath the console, dangling from the sling as he fiddled with the controlling wires above him but soon found himself lovingly watching his daughter as she crawled around the teddy and then picked it up, holding it up to the ceiling for some unknown reason and then snatching it back into her chest for a hug. Her fluffy brown hair was pinned back with a little sliver heart-shaped clip and the small white trousers and dress were already a little dirty from crawling along the corridor floors. It was amazing how fast she could move. Even though she was generally crawling and rolling, the little one could find herself halfway from the console room to the Kitchen before Mummy had even realised she was gone. Well, to be fair that time they'd been…occupied. He blushed a little at the memory and jumped at a little spark from the TARDIS.

His ship had been rather tetchy since the new arrival he supposed it was just envy, she wasn't getting the same servicing that he used to provide now he had a daughter. He just didn't have the time to be oiling levers he never used or fixing the lighting in the squash courts. It was time wastage that could be spent teaching Daisy to walk or speak.

'When it's spring again, I'll bring again, tulips from Amsterdam. With a heart that's true, I'll bring to you, tulips from Amsterdam.' The Doctor smiled and looked up to see Winter dance into the console room singing, sweep a laughing Daisy into her arms and twirl around the console. 'I can't wait until the day you fill, these eager arm of mine. Like the windmill keeps on turning, that's how my heart keeps on yearning. For those tulips from Amsterdam, for those tulips, from Amster-dam.' He laughed as she collapsed into one of the chairs in a short blue dress and a thin silver belt with Daisy balancing on her lap. She smiled at him and he slipped out of the sling and up to stand next to her. She instantly shifted to lean against him. 'I'm thinking after this we should take her somewhere.' Winter told him as he curled around her and brushed Daisy's cheek, 'if she doesn't get out of the TARDIS she'll think this is all that there is to see. She needs broader horizons.' He nodded and kissed her shoulder.

'Let's get through this first and then I'll take you two somewhere amazing.' He told her. 'Like Babylon, Cairo, or Manchester.' She frowned and looked around at him.

'Manchester?'

'What's wrong with Manchester? Lots of great stuff happens there. Lots of stuff to see and do and less chance of being carried off by an armed guard for upsetting the local priestess.' She laughed as he leaped up to the console and pulled the screen around to face them. 'If we get through this without you killing Jack then I'll take you anywhere your heart desires.' She got up and shifted Daisy to her side as the little girl tugged gently at the blue strands of Winter's hair.

'Promise?' the Doctor moved the heart-shaped pendant on Winter's necklace to the centre of her chest and smiled.

'Promise.'

A knock at the door interrupted the tender moment and Winter tensed up. The Doctor took her hand a squeezed it gently before moving to the front of the console room. He turned back to look at her and she nodded once.

'Now or never.' She told him. He smiled reassuringly and she took the steps slowly, Daisy held tightly in her arms. Both let out one breath and then the Doctor opened the door.

'Ha Ha! Doc you old scamp! How've you been?' Winter watched John almost launch himself through the door and encase the Doctor in a hug. He didn't wait for an answer, instead he crossed the room in a short burst and wrapped his arm around her. 'And doll face! You look sexier every day have I told you that?' She laughed as he pulled back. 'And who is this bundle of gorgeous?'

'This,' Winter announced, 'Is Daisy.' John held out his arms and she passed the little girl over. Daisy seemed quite happy with this and set to work mapping out John's face with her hands.

'Hey baby, nice to meet you.' Winter grinned at the happy looks all round but someone behind John caught her eye. The Doctor was standing silently with a face she hadn't seen in years. Jack didn't look any different, the only thing he was missing was the great coat he used to wear when they were together but he'd stopped using that ages ago. Now he watched his boyfriend, and her daughter as they laughed at each other and she caught his sad gaze flickering to her every few seconds. She decided to bite the bullet and stepped around John, approaching Jack cautiously. He didn't speak, just looked down at her.

'Hi Jack.'

'Hello.'

That was it? No, 'how have you been?' No, 'what have you been up to?' she looked back over at Daisy and realised the second answer was kind of obvious. Well fine then, in that case, she would start the conversation.

'Been anywhere nice.' He stuck his hands into his pockets and shrugged.

'Mainly stuck around Vegas, John got his eye on some expensive looking gems that are gonna be auctioned off in a few weeks.'

'I take it you're not buying them.'

'When have you ever known me to buy things?' He smirked. She shrugged.

'You used to buy me things.' His face became hard and far off again.

'Yeah well, that was a long time ago.' She sighed and nodded. The Doctor clapped his hands together and looked around the room.

'Right! Tea anyone?' They all nodded and John handed Daisy back over to Winter so she could lead them to the kitchen.
