Chapter Thirty-four:  Five Minutes on a Stopwatch

The heart monitor’s line went flat and Jack started the stopwatch with a flick of his thumb. The scream from the conference room made the Doctor’s head whip around, and he felt the link with his son flare into life as the baby shrieked out his pain and despair. He sensed, too, the tiny life growing in his wife’s body as it struggled and writhed within her womb.

“I need you here, Doctor!” Owen said sharply as the Doctor stepped away from Donna.

“I’ll check on it,” said Gwen.

Chapter Thirty-six:  Fury of a Tyler Woman

Rose tucked Dare into his crib, her hand cradling against his sleeping form for a moment before she sat down on the bed and hiccupped. Vortex energy left her body and she placed her hands over her abdomen searching for the tiny mind there. She had thought Dare would never calm down and sleep. He had felt Cassi’s regeneration. She was sure of it from the state of his own little mind. Cassi’s she couldn’t feel at all other than an unconscious turmoil and she had to seek hard to feel even that.

Tears fell down her face, had been falling since she’d walked into the TARDIS. Her child had just lost 1/12th of her lifespan in the space of five minutes and she didn’t know who she was madder at. Herself for taking the risk without knowledge, or her husband for failing as usual to give her the information she needed to make the right choices and refusing to ever deviate from what he thought was right. Not even for her.

Chapter Thirty-eight:  What Mums Are For

The Doctor wasn’t sure how he knew Jackie Tyler was banging on the doors to the TARDIS. No outside sound could possibly intrude into the soundproofed Zero room, and yet somehow he knew she was out there. He didn’t really think there was a link between his mind and Jackie’s, though with his sense of self-preservation when it came to the woman, he wouldn’t be surprised if he hadn’t subconsciously installed an early detection warning system.  Then again, it might have been the TARDIS telling him without really talking to him.  She wasn't too thrilled at him at the moment either.  The TARDIS was quite fond of Donna, even fonder of Rose, knew the Doctor had botched it and if she'd had shoulders she would have been giving them to him cold.

As for Jackie, his relationship with Rose’s mother ran hot and cold. Most of the time, if he was very lucky, it was simply warm these days. But he knew that if he wasn’t very careful in how he handled things, he’d end up on the receiving end of a Tyler slap and he didn’t really care to go there again, even, and he gulped, if he deserved one.  And he rather thought he did.

Chapter Forty:  It's Christmas Time in the City

The Doctor and Rose were both surprised to walk into the Tyler mansion and see it all done up for Christmas. “Wow,” Rose said softly, staring at the nine foot tall Christmas tree that looked like it had come out of a home magazine and noting all the presents stacked under it. “I thought we’d missed Christmas.”
