Chapter Four; Three Years Later
Alright I'm sorry once again for the delay but here is the next chapter. I hope you enjoy it!
Rose held onto a blonde haired little girl on top of her hip while she stood at the end of the hallway. "Common boys you're going to miss your bus!" she called while Sarah tilted her sippy cup ( it was purple and it matched her tank top along with her shorts) back up to her lips and milk started dribbling onto the rug and Doc started lapping it up hungrily.
"Doc stop it!" Rose scolded. "Ah man I really wish the last babysitter didn't quit." She said when suddenly the doctor came downstairs.
"It's alright it's like having a maid service." The doctor said.
"Gosh, I wish!" she exclaimed. "If only she hadn't have quit, although it's not like I really can blame her." She said as she heaved a heavy sigh and adjusted her grip upon Sarah. "I just don't know what to do, I just can't live like this anymore. I mean on one hand I have to raise three kids, one teenager, and two animals, and not to mention that there's a baby on the way, and on the other hand I constantly have to worry about saving the universe and making sure that the kids are safe." She told him when suddenly she burst into tears.
"Hey, hey," The doctor whispered soothingly as he pulled her into his arms inside a loving embrace. "Shh,.." he said softly as he kissed the top of her head. "Don't worry, we'll figure something out." He reassured her when suddenly JP raced out of his bedroom.
"Mummy! Daddy! Something's wrong with Michael!" he cried.
"Really? What happened? What's wrong?" his father asked him anxiously.
"He won't get up, I told him that we'd be late for school but he didn't listen to me! He didn't even move!" he exclaimed.
"Oh my God." The doctor said with a horrified gasp and a breath of astonishment. "Rose, take Sarah upstairs, I have to go help him. If it's as serious as I think it is then we're all in serious trouble." He said as Rose simply just stood there and watched him wondering what she should do and worried to death about their eldest biological son. The doctor followed JP back inside his bedroom where Michael was lying on his bed all curled up on one side. "Michael," the doctor began loudly as he walked over to his side and started to try gently shaking him awake.
"Michael," he repeated even louder when he didn't answer him. That's when suddenly he felt his forehead. "Just as I thought, he's burning up." He said as he picked him up inside his arms and carried him out of the room. "Everything will be alright JP I promise." He assured him since he was in a flood of tears because he was just a little kid and very scared about what was going on.
"What happened to him?" Rose asked him as he just glanced over at her fearfully.
"I thought I told you to take Sarah upstairs." He said.
"Just tell me what's going on." She told him as he took a deep breath.
"I think Michael had a Gallifreyan heart attack." He explained.
"A what?" Rose questioned him.
"A Gallifreyan heart attack." The doctor repeated. "It happens when a young time lord or time lady starts to grow their second heart." He explained.
"You mean?" Rose began.
"Yeah, I think Michael's a time lord after all." The doctor finished for him.
