It had been a week since the wedding. They had left Kiam with Jack and Ianto while they went on their honeymoon. While on the planet of Lakertya, they saw little of the large lake he had parked the Tardis by. Mainly they saw the inside of the Tardis, specifically the bedroom. But after a week it was time to get back to their life. He had to find Donna and they both missed Kiam. He sent the Tardis back to Cardiff, landing in Jack's backyard. Kiam was outside and to the doors almost as soon as it landed. Rose opened the doors and picked him up spinning him in her arms. He watched the two of them. He had thought he couldn't find Rose more beautiful but yet again he was proven wrong.
He stepped off the Tardis and closed the door tightly behind him. "Rose, can you please go get Kiam ready while I talk to Jack." She turned and headed into the house while Jack came over and leaned against the Tardis next to him.
"The Master has Donna." He told Jack.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I am going to go after her and I may need you."
"Whatever you need. You will have the full support of myself and Torchwood." Jack turned to him. "So do you have a plan."
"No, I have a idea. It's like a plan, but with more greatness."
"So where is Donna at?"
"I don't know, and I have no clue on where to begin. " He said as Rose came back outside. "But that won't stop me.

He was sitting on the pilot seat with Kiam on his lap again. He had his hands on Kiam's temples and he was trying to teach Kiam to block someone from entering his mind psychically but the little boy was being stubborn. He sent an angry no through the psychic link and the little boy squirmed and whimpered.
"Are you hurting him?" Rose asked concerned.
"No, I am trying to teach him to block me out." He said his voice calm and his eyes still closed.
"He looks unhappy." She tried again. "Maybe you could stop for today."
He opened his eyes and saw the discomfort on Kiam's face, he turned his head toward Rose. "I can't stop. If the Master gets a hold of him, he needs to know how to protect his mind." He turned back to Kiam. "Daddy is sorry but this is necessary. Now close your eyes." Kiam listened to him and he entered Kiam's mind easily again and tried to get the child to kick him out.
Kiam was squirming trying to get away from him and he felt Rose lift Kiam off of him. He opened his eyes and looked at her as Kiam buried his face against her.
He stands up and gets near at her seething as she back away from him. "I wasn't hurting him, he needs to learn to close his mind."
"He's just a child."
"Who is half Timelord and who travel's all of time and space." He says angrier then he meant to. "The Master is out there somewhere and try as we might, we can't always protect him. He needs to learn to protect himself." He takes a deep breath and tries to calm down but he is too angry. He kicks the Tardis console. "He keeps taking things I care about. Donna was suppose to be safe." He flops down onto the pilot seat. "Sylvia has a right to hate me."
"No, she doesn't," Rose said coming over slowly.
"Doesn't she? Because of me Donna lost her memories and now is missing and Wilfred is dead." He looks at Rose, tears in his eyes. "I should have died. Not him."
She sat down next to him and he heard the tears in her voice. "Don't say that?"
"It's true. Davros was right. Countless people have died for me. But I remember the names and faces of every single one. How many more have to die?" She wrapped her arm around him and pulled him close to her and he didn't resist as he laid his head down on her shoulder.

While Kiam and Rose slept that night he set the Tardis controls to random and trusted her to take him where he needed to go. He grabbed his coat and put it on and then stepped of the Tardis. He was in large almost empty room and on the other side of it was a man sitting with his feet up on a desk. He walked over to the desk and sat down across from him.
"Hello Theta," The man said pleasantly, using the name he hadn't used since his days at the academy.
"Koschei," He said pleasantly following suit. "Where's Donna?"
"Same as River, she's safe."
"We're not playing these games again. You will return Donna to me at once unharmed," He told the Master furious.
"Oh Doctor, I always took you for being sweet, passionate, nice," he hissed the last word at him.
"Sweet, maybe. Passionate, I suppose, but don't ever mistake that for being nice." He scratched his head. "You only get one warning." He stands up and turns his back on the Master and starts to walk away. "That was it."
"Don't you want to know where she is?" The Master taunted him.
"You're just going to tell me?" He stopped, sensing it was a trick.
"No, but you could still ask." He walked back into the Tardis as the Master laughed at him. He could see him on the sensor laughing. He flicked the lever and sent the Tardis back into the time vortex.
