I don't own anything from Doctor Who, and I hope you enjoy.
The Doctor and Clara bought an average sized flat only about three hours away from where the Maitlands lived. After looking over the house for their first time after buying it, they went back into the TARDIS. Clara was bracing herself for how the kids would respond to the big news. The Doctor flipped some switches on the TARDIS console, and then nodded to the door. She took a deep breath and slowly walked to the doors. The Doctor quickly positioned himself next to her, and he held her hand. As they reached the front door of the Maitland household he squeezed her hand reassuringly.
The Doctor knocked, and Angie answered. "Hey, you stayed at your dad's a lot longer than we expected." Angie said.
Clara nodded and asked, "Is your dad here? I have an announcement to make."
Angie's eyes widened slightly as she looked to the Doctor and said, "Oh, please don't tell me you got her pregnant." He blushed slightly and shook his head. "Good. Come in. Dad's in the kitchen." She moved aside to allow them entry.
Clara gave the Doctor a nervous look, and he gave her a reassuring smile. She walked in and made her way to the kitchen, the Doctor in tow. "Um, hey Mr. Maitland. We kind of need to talk to all of you, so could you… call the kids in or something." The Doctor said. Mr. Maitland nodded and called for Artie and Angie.
Clara held the Doctor's hand extra tight as she said, "Well, we have some big news. The Doctor and I are going to get married." She waited for their reactions. Surprisingly they all had wide smiles on their faces. "You… aren't upset?" Clara asked.
Artie asked, "Why would we be?"
Artie nodded and said, "Finally you two found some sense! Where's the engagement ring?"
Clara frowned and said, "You guys do know that this means I'm moving out, right?"
Mr. Maitland muttered, "It's about time." Clara glared at him, and he shook his head quickly. "No, I don't mean it like that! I mean… it's about time that you started your own life!"
Clara smirked and said, "Thanks, I think." She turned back to the kids. "This also means that I will be spending a lot more time with the Doctor, and I probably won't be able to be your nanny anymore."
She watched as Artie's expression went from happy to sad very quickly. Angie was trying to hide that she was upset, but Clara could still tell. Artie looked up at Clara and asked, "Why can't you be our nanny?"
She sighed and said, "Well, I'll probably have to get a new job that's closer to our flat, and I'll be traveling more."
The kids nodded in understanding, and Mr. Maitland said, "Good. You've always wanted to travel. I'm very happy for you."
Clara smiled and nodded. "We should probably get going. We still have to move our things into the flat, and I need to stop searching for a job. The Doctor and I also have a lot of things to talk about. I guess I'll see you when I come by to get my things."
The kids nodded and gave her weak smiles. The Doctor smiled proudly back and led Clara away. They both waved goodbye as they left. When they closed the door the Doctor looked down at Clara. "So, do you think it went well?" He asked.
She nodded and said, "I suppose. They weren't as upset as I thought they'd be, but I guess that's a good thing. You were surprisingly quiet though."
He shrugged and opened the TARDIS doors. "I just wanted to give you your moment. So, back to the flat?" She nodded and entered. With more flipping of switches and levers, they were back to their new home. "I have some boxes somewhere around here. We could start moving."
Clara sighed and said, "Well, we might as well get started. Hopefully the old cow will somehow move the rooms closer to us."
The Doctor frowned and said, "She won't if you keep calling her a cow! You know, I'm starting to understand why she doesn't like you."
Clara playfully punched his shoulder and said, "Why don't you marry her then?"
He rubbed his shoulder and grumpily mumbled to himself. They made their way to the rooms and prepared to start moving.
Sorry for the short chapter, but I have had serious writers block for this story. I hope you enjoyed, and please leave a review to tell me what you think.
