Please R&R

While Tegan and Nyssa continue their reunion Graham looks over to Ace as she finishes whispering something to Yaz. After Ace finishes whispering whatever she is to Yaz she catches Graham's eye and they have a silent conversation and silently head to a back room. Graham leans against the counter Ace walks to him, gets as close as possible, places his hands on her hips, "please try and keep them right here. I want to see if having the two others with the same hologram implant that I do nearby will counteract mine."
"I'll try. I love moving my hands all over you."
"And you are great at it, now shut up and kiss me." He moves his head closer to her and their lips meet in a kiss. Ace opens her mouth and traces his bottom lip with her tongue. He gladly accepts her tongue into his mouth and his tongue meets with Ace's as they both sigh happily into this kiss. They continue to kiss as Graham tries his best to keep his hands along Ace's waist, his thumbs do move as her shirt rises.
Meanwhile out in the main room Tegan and Nyssa have broken their kiss. "I'm home," Nyssa says as she brushes some hair off Tegan's forehead.
"Yes, you are." They stand there smiling at each other, "I have some people you should meet."
"I would love to meet them," Tegan turns around and scans the room.
"We are missing two people."
"Who," Nyssa asks.
"Ace and Graham. Ace and I get partnered up a lot when we are freelancing for UNIT."
"Are you two?"
"No, she is more like a sister to me. She sometimes annoys me like Adric did. The only family I have is my son and two ex-husbands."
"You have a son?"
"I adopted him in the 90s when he was a baby and named him John-Nathan."
Kate hears John-Nathan's name "have you heard from him?"
"Not for 8 months."
"Oh Tegan," Nyssa hugs her, "I can't imagine not hearing from my children for that long."
"Children?"
"Two, they are back at UNIT since they have never been to earth talking to Kate's employees, they are named Neeka and Adric."
"Adric?"
"Yes, Adric, he was born on the anniversary of his death."
"I can't wait to meet them, before they get here do you want to meet everyone?"
"I do," Tegan introduces her to everyone and as she goes in search of her best friend, Nyssa grabs Tegan's hand. They enter the back room to see Ace and Graham enjoying each other. Three holograms pop up, Nyssa recognizes one of them right off the bat.
The hologram covered in question marks, "not again, please get your hands off her." Graham, whose thumb had moved up Ace's shirt, closes his hand as Ace and Graham break apart with a resounding pop of their lips.
"Professor, I am an adult and so is Graham. We both have lost people we loved and grew up in semi similar situations, and we like each other," Ace rolls her eyes at her Doctor.
"Yet some of your traits still have remained, rolling your eyes."
"Professor."
"Yes," all three reply.
Ace ignores them and starts to walk over to Nyssa before she feels being pulled back by Graham and realizing that he is in a predicament. "You must be Nyssa, I am Ace."
The tallest of the Doctors sees this, "please tell me he isn't hiding what I think he is."
"What do you expect Doctor, we walked in, well three of you popped up and here, in the middle of a heavy make out session," Tegan teases all of the Doctors.
"When we left, you and Nyssa were rather enjoying yourselves," Ace points out.
"I can see what you mean, Ace being like a sister to you. I am Nyssa." Nyssa walks forward not wanting to embarrass Graham. "How long have you two been together?"
"I saw them in less clothing months ago," says the Doctor wearing question marks.
"Well Professor, if you haven't had the habit of showing up at the most impromptu moments you wouldn't have been seeing me like that. It's not you are on my mind when Graham and I are together."
"I hope not, that would be wrong in so many ways," Tegan shudders as she says this.
"Just wait, with you having someone now it may happen to you."
"If it does," Tegan turns to her Doctor, "there will be hell to pay if it takes more than 38 years to see you again."
"I understand."
"What," Ace's voice goes up, "you won't show up when she is getting closer to Nyssa, but when I am getting closer to someone I love."
Ace's eyes go wide and she hears from behind her, "you love me?"
She turns to face him, "I guess I do. Though this was not the way I was planning to tell you. Does it scare you?"
"No, we have been dating for 4 almost 5 months. I love you too Ace." They smile at each other.
"Ace?"
Not turning to look at the person, "yes Professor."
"You have always been like a daughter to me, I know there were times when I was cruel to you."
"Professor?"
"Yes?"
"Shut it. Please disappear." Ace and Graham's eyes meet again and they forget about everyone in the room as their heads move closer until they touch lightly.
"Hello, are you two present," asks Tegan. Not getting a reply everyone leaves the room. "That explains everything of the past few months, on how they always seem to be together."
"How could you not know it, though the first time I see them they are literally attached to each other, but when they were talking to us there was a deep connection between the two." Nyssa says.
"I couldn't always tell if it was flirting or bickering."
"Like the first time I called you three over. I had them help me make tea. I should've seen it; he knew how he liked her tea." Martha adds. "They also worked well together. Seems to have a dance around a kitchen neither of them have been in before."
"Now that we have seen them more than attached," Yaz starts to speak, "I say we all have been blind."
"They admitted they love each other, though it seems like Ace did it by accident." Tegan is still in shock, Ace can't normally hide things from her.
"You were right about her relationship with the Doctor."
"No I wasn't. I never knew he was like a father to her. Nyssa we may have to wait for a bit to go home, I carpooled with Ace."
"That's fine you and I can catch up a little bit."
"That we can," Tegan and Nyssa share a small smile as everyone else leaves. "Though we have to find a way to pick up my kids from UNIT."
"I am sure we can squeeze them in if anything we can probably recruit the man that she is locking lips with to help everyone get to my place."
"All of us can stay with you," Nyssa asks.
"We can look for a cot so everyone has a place to sleep."
"Or if one of the kids." Ace says while coming out hand in hand with Graham.
"Adults."
"I have a spare room."
"With a big bed," Graham adds.
"How would you know that Graham?" Tegan teases him.
"Before Ace and I got together, I needed a place to stay when the lease on my old flat ran out and Ryan told me he wasn't coming home for more than just visits. Ace let me stay at hers."
"That is how you two got together isn't it?" Ace nods yes.
"So sharing the same space works for some."
"Tegan, do you want to meet my kids," Nyssa asks her friend if she wants to be more.
"Ok everyone to the cars," she looks over at Graham who takes her hand again as they walk out, "Nyssa you have how many kids?"
"Two, how big is the car?"
"We need to get Graham to help us out."
"I will be glad to, I will just need to know where I am going."
"Tegan's car is at her place." He winks at Ace and gets into his car. The other three get into Ace's and head over to the new UNIT HQ.
"So Ace," Tegan asks while sitting in the back with Nyssa holding hands. "You love Graham."
"You heard me earlier, I do."
"Different kind than your previous ones I bet."
"Considering we haven't been able to have a physical relationship yet, it is. We have a real connection and have a fair bit in common, he actually has learned some vegan dishes for me. Also when he eats meat, he makes sure to brush his teeth before he kisses me."
"The only ones who were like that were the ones who were vegan themselves."
"You are right." They arrive at UNIT to see Graham standing with two people who look like they are in their 20s.
