Hi! Thank you to the overwhelming response to this story! I'm going to continue it and make it into a series of sorts, but for continuity purposes, I'm posting them all as one document: mainly because my ending of the first story flows very naturally into the second, and like a true Doctor Who storyline, there really is no ending, but the story continues. But the main plot line will change, which is why I'm dividing the story into "books". The first book is now complete, consisting of chapters 1 - 18. The story continues with a new plot in this chapter!

Yup. Still not mine.

BOOK II: A Timey Whimey Wedding

CHAPTER 1: Family Matters

The aftermath of the Dalek invasion was crazy! Never had there been so many people in the console room at once! Together, under the Doctor's guidance, everyone helped the TARDIS tow Earth back home.

"Martha, hold that lever. Mickey, twist that knob. Jack, on my signal, turn this a quarter to the right. Sarah Jane, pull that lever and hold it in place. Donna, you have a tricky one: switch that there on at the same time you press this button. Jenny, hold this in place. Jackie... just don't touch anything!"

He would have liked to have Rose help, but she was engrossed in a conversation with his future self. Soon the Earth was home, Eleven had returned to his timeline, and his companions were leaving. Sarah Jane wanted to stay, but she had a son at home who needed her. Jack had to get back to his team in Torchwood. Martha followed him. Mickey, truly smitten, made the decision that there was nothing fit him in the other universe anymore, but this universe held some distinct possibilities, as he watched Martha's retreating firm. Rose slapped him teasingly and wished him luck. Rose noticed that Martha really didn't seem to mind that Mickey was staying. Well, that was a match if she ever saw one!

All that was left was Jackie. Donna excused herself to give the family some privacy.

"Mum!" Rose started. "I can't believe that you jumped universes! On your own!"

"Oi! I'm your Mum! If you can do it, well, you got at least some of your foolish insanity from me, didn't ya?"

"Well, as insane and as dangerous as it was, I'm glad you're here. I have some very good news!" She smiled nervously, unsure how her Mum would take it.

Jackie just waited patiently.

"The Doctor and I are engaged!"

"OH!" Jackie squealed. "AND ITS ABOUT BLOODY TIME TOO!" She kissed her daughter, admired the ring, and then (much to the Doctor's dislike) she kissed her future son in law.

"So, when's the big day?"

The happy couple just looked at each other. Things had been quite mad since he'd asked her. They really hadn't talked about it.

The Doctor spoke. "Oh, it can be any time, really. Time machine and all."

But that wasn't good enough for Jackie Tyler. "When are you marrying my daughter, Time Lord?"

"Mum," Rose intervened. "We haven't really discussed it yet, ok? So leave him alone. Besides. We have more news. And for this, you'd better sit down." A chair was brought out for her to sit in.

"It's never a good thing when you tell your Mum to sit!"

"Oh, it's good! Really good! Just might come as a bit of a shock, is all."

"Are you pregnant? I mean, I'm not so old fashioned that I think that you should wait until after the wedding to engage in certain forms of recreation, but there is this thing cashed protection, unless it didn't work on himself and his alien bits!"

The couple exchanged a look. This was not going to go over well.

"Mum, I'm not pregnant. But..." nervously, she beckoned Jenny to join them. "This is Jenny. It's hard to explain how, but she's... she's our daughter. Jenny is your granddaughter."

Well, Jackie truly never expected this! "I'm a Gran?" Her eyes welled up with tears. "Come here, then. Jenny, is it? Come give your old Gran a hug!" Jenny grinned and gladly embraced her grandmother.

"Blimey! She's old enough to make you a Gran, Rose! Just how long have you been gone?"

Jenny laughed. "I'm only a few months old, Gran. Cells were taken from their hands and extrapolated to create me. I came to life fully grown."

"Well, that's... different!" Jackie exclaimed.

"You're not mad then?" Rose asked, hopeful.

"No. I'm thrilled!"

The Doctor didn't even realize he had been holding his breath this entire time until it all came out in a whoosh.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the TARDIS door. It was Pete and 2 year old Tony Tyler. It seemed that Rose came by her insanity honestly since both of her parents had now jumped universes, and her Dad had even jumped while carrying a toddler! (Well, technically he was her step-dad, but not really because he was the same man but not exactly and... thinking about what he was exactly to her gave her a headache. So she just called him Dad.) The look on Jackie's face said she'd had no idea. The slap she gave him further confirmed it.

The Doctor helped the Tyler's get settled into a villa in France where no one would suspect that Jackie and Pete were supposed to be dead. Rose loved it! Everyone she loved was now in the same universe! It truly was a miracle!

Then Jackie started making plans for hers and the Doctor's wedding, and Rose almost wished that Jackie was in another universe - almost.

The morning of the big day dawned bright and sunny. Everyone was gathered there! Jenny was the maid of honor (listed as the sister of the bride in the program), and Donna, Martha, and River were bridesmaids. Rose had wanted to ask Amy, but she was afraid of the potential paradox since the Doctor technically hadn't met her yet.

On the groom's side, Tony was the ring bearer, Mickey was a groomsman, and the Doctor had (albeit a little reluctantly) asked Jack to be the best man.

They were to wed in a beautiful garden behind the Tyler's villa, and they were to stand in front of the TARDIS to say their vows. The folding chairs were decked out in pink roses and TARDIS blue ribbon. The wedding cake (banana flavored of course!) was covered with edible ball bearings, and the couple on top were joined by a miniature TARDIS. Everything was perfect! Which meant, of course, that something was bound to go wrong.

Rose was alone in her dressing room, getting ready for the ceremony when it happened: a TARDIS materialized - and their TARDIS was still parked in the garden, waiting for the ceremony.

"Just what I've always wanted on my wedding day, a paradox of massive proportions," she thought. "Well, at least it's not Daleks..."
