Jackie let go of Rose and grabbed him. She kissed him on the mouth several times before slapping him.
"Ow," He complained rubbing his cheek. "What was that for?"
"That was for bringing her back and the slap was for trying to leave her here. Now where is my Grandson?" She asked looking around. He looked down and Kiam peeked out from behind his legs where he had taken refuge when the door opened.
"Since when are you shy?" He asked him chuckling slightly before leaning down and pulling him in front of him. "Kiam say hello to your grandma Jackie." Kiam responded quickly by burying his face in his hands and attempting to hide again.
"You scare him," Mickey said. Jackie squealed with happiness and rushed down the stairs to hug Mickey.
"So Doctor, what brings you to our universe?" Pete asked coming out of the house. He wrapped Rose in a hug and then the Doctor.
"I'm looking for a little girl named Amelia. She was pulled to this universe through a crack in time. I don't know how long she has been here though."
"She's only been here a few hours." Rose stated picking up Kiam who immediately hid his face again.
He shook his head. "I don't think so. If that was the case she would have been on the beach still or near enough to it she could hear the Tardis engines."
"But we came through in the correct time."
"That is because I have the Tardis and could control it." He reminded her.
"No use standing outside arguing." Jackie finally interrupted them. "Come in and get settled."
-DW-
The afternoon had passed quickly with everyone getting caught up and then Pete and Mickey disappearing to go and see if they could track Amelia. He was sitting on the couch watching Kiam play with Tony, Rose's little brother, while Martha, Rose and Jackie had gone into the kitchen to make dinner.
He couldn't help but notice that even though Tony was younger he was a lot more talkative then Kiam and his pronunciation of words was also clearer. He had denied time and time again there was something wrong with Kiam but Amelia and Tony were now starting to make him see differently.
He heard the front door open and looked behind him to see the Metacrisis storming across the room, a look of rage upon his face. He stood up and went around the couch to face him.
"You Bastard." The metacrisis said through clenched teeth before punching him in the stomach.
"Daddy," Kiam cried out running towards him.
"Stay back Kiam," He gasped. "Daddy's okay." He looked up and saw the look of rage turn to one of sorrow as he stared at the little boy.
"John," Jackie said coming out of the kitchen and taking in the scene in front of her. "That is no way to behave in my house. Now you apologize."
"Sorry," John mumbled.
"That's better. Now you two behave and talk like adults. If you are going to fight you can leave." She scolded them before going into the kitchen again.
"You lied to me. You said that they were going to stay here." John said angrily.
"I tried to leave them here, Donna let them back on the Tardis." He explained. "By the time I realized Rose was on board it was too late to take her back again."
"How is Donna?"
"I had to erase her memories, she couldn't handle the Time Lord brain. The Master was able to unlock the memories though. I haven't figured out how, though I suspect he had River help him. Turns out she is Koschei and Donna's daughter." He rambled. Seeing the confused look on John's face he explained everything that had happened and everything he had learned since he had left him here.
"I want to go back." John stated after a moment of silence.
"You can't."
"Why not?"
He didn't have an answer anymore. He had left him here originally for Rose. He twirled his ring around his finger absent mindedly.
"Dinner," Rose called from the dining room as the front door opened again and Pete and Mickey came in.
"Just in time it's dinner." He said happily.
"Doctor can I talk to you a minute." Pete asked him. He nodded and followed Pete back outside to stand on the front porch. "We found a girl named Amelia Pond, living in Leadworth. She was an orphan who was found when she was seven."
"How old is she now?" He asked curiously.
"She just turned 21."
"That can't be her. Fourteen years could not have passed since I lost her." He said in shock as Pete handed him a picture.
"This was in her file." Pete said. He looked down at the picture and little Amelia smiled back up at him.
"That's her." He started to hand the picture back.
"Keep it."
He put it in his coat pocket. "How did you find her so quickly?"
"That was actually Mickey's idea. He suggested we check orphans first."
The door opened and Jackie came outside. "Come on you two dinner will be gone by the time you get to it." He followed her quietly inside and sat down by Rose. As the rest of the group talked and laughed over dinner he sat there quietly picking at his food.
"What's wrong," Rose asked him taking his hand. He briefly explained about Amelia to her.
"I don't even know how we are going to be sure it is the correct Amelia." He finished.
"Well if she came through the void. Wouldn't she still have the void particles? Where are the glasses you used at Canary Wharf?
"I threw them into a supernova after you disappeared."
"Is that what you do with things that make you mad or you don't like," Rose asked him seriously. "If you get tired of me are you going to throw me into a supernova"
"Yep, head first." He replied casually.
"I am worried that you didn't even need to think about that." Rose crossed her arms at him.
"Oh, I've thought about it." He smiled at her and she stared at him trying to figure out if he was kidding.
The rest of the evening passed quietly. With the promise of heading out first thing in the morning to find Amelia, he headed to bed.
