Chapter 14 - "Time Lords...?"

Clara's PoV

'But your the last of the Time Lords' I said and he looked at me.

'I am yes' he confirmed.

'Then why are we in danger?' I asked.

'Because The Master has been rebuilding himself' he said,

'Rebuilding?' I questioned.

'Think about it Clara. You've been in my time line. You've seen him before. You know all about him... It's not the first time he's fine this' he said.

'Yeah. But he can't just turn up back from the dead' I pointed out.

'Yes he can.. And he is going to know what I have done' he said.

'What you've done?' I asked now confused and a tiny bit scared.

'Clara. It's a dishonour to have relations with humans as a Time Lord... Let alone marry and have sex with one' he said.

'What do you mean? I don't understand' I said.

'Meaning, we think that we found Galifrey right?' He said. 'Yeah. It's saved in the painting' I responded remembering that day.

'Well, if he reports this to wherever Galifrey might supposedly be, if they find out and try to break through into this known universe... I'm dead' he said.

'That's just the point though. You don't live in their universe so what does it matter?' I questioned.

'Ifs way more complicated than that Clara' he said.

'But you saved Galifrey, surely you would deserve some forgiveness. A whole planet against a Human wife and children?' I said hoping it would be enough.

'You would like to hope Clara Oswald' a voice from behind us said.

Doctors PoV

It's fair to say that I'm stressed and I'm really not supposed to be as he keeps telling me.

I left The Doctor at the flat as he said he would pack up there and I took the girls and myself to the house where my dad was meeting me.

'Morning Clara... I've bought reinforcements' my Dad said and turned to point at Artie and Angie.

'There is no way I am lifting heavy boxes' Angie announced as she walked in the door.

'Good because that's not what you'll be doing... Take your shoes off. You can be on child duty of you like' I said to her and she got rather excited about that.

'Just watch Avia and keep Autumn entertained for a few hours' I said and she was well up for it.

'Hey Clara where's this bed going then?' Danny asked and I smiled.

'Thanks guys for this, it's just I don't trust the Doctor with DIY' I said and he smirked.

'Well we owe you something for the free flat, so this is a good start' Danny said.

'Ummm, this is the flat pack for Autumns bed and it's going in this corner' I said to him and Artie came up the stairs.

'Dad said is there anything useful I can do?' He asked.

Artie's only 14 so might get in the way a bit. 'Actually you can sort the screws out for me' Danny said and I thanked him.

It was a relatively easy afternoon for me because he instructed me to stand by the front and tell people where to go and what to do.

I glanced at a box my dad was holding.

'Oh that's Avia's clothes, there to the spare room' I said. 'Where's this one going Clara?' Adrien asked:

'The kitchen' I said.

'You know Clara, I bet you make a good teacher, you can be very demanding when you want to be' The Doctor said when he came in through the front door lifting what must have had all the kitchen equipment in because it looked heavy.

'That ones for the kitchen' I smiled at him and he glared.

'I know that, I can read the box' he said stubbornly.

'Well you'd better go and put it there then hadn't you' I said and he frowned.

I was still standing by the front door when he came back but he grabbed my waist and pulled me into the lounge.

'Hey what do you think your doing?' I said stumbling into the lounge and he shut the door.

'Taking a well earned break, and I want you to spend it with me' he said as he sat on the sofa (of which was looking a bit shabby up against the nice new house but I will come back to that later) and pulled me into his lap.

'Wouldn't a cup of tea suffice?' I asked him giggling.

'Well yes but I can't do this with a cup of tea can I?' He muttered.

He leant down and and kissed me, so, naturally I leant up and kissed him back placing my right hand on his face and ruffling my left hand in through his hair.

Then he proceeded to push me off his lap (whilst still kissing me) and I laid down as he was laying on top of me.

I knew he wasn't initiating anything to gross for company and we were having a private moment but alas my Dad has to walk in to the lounge doesn't he.

'Uhhhh, really here now?' He said but for some reason the Doctor didn't see any reason to let go of my face.

The kiss lasted about 5 more seconds and then he jumped up leaving the room having left me on edge laying flat on the sofa.

I took one look at my Dads muffled face and sat up straightening my dress.

'That box is for my room' I said and left the lounge.

'Okay, so I'll order in the Pizza shall I?' My Dad said an hour or so later. We were pretty much done with moving things in now, all the furniture is here and the boxes are in.

My Dad just finished putting up the kitchen table and placing the chairs in, whilst Danny and Adrien were putting up our bed.

'Mummy, Baby crying' Autumn said as she ran in the room and jumped on my lap.

'Well if she's crying I'll have to go and see her' I said and Autumn jumped down in a strop.

Well, the day had proceeded quite well, we had managed to get all the furniture in and we're waiting on the beds to be built, so that we have somewhere to sleep tonight.

Later well proceed to decorating and organising boxes.

'Doctor, the Pizzas here, I'll be one moment' her Dad said, but I went to the door paid the man and took the boxes in the kitchen.

'Where did he go?' He asked. 'Well I paid him and he left... That's normally what happens isn't it?' I asked and he gave me a look.

'Okay, where's Autumn?' I asked Angie and she shrugged her shoulders.

'She was with Clara but I'm not sure now' she said which concerned me, because in this house she doesn't know where anything is or any routine.

'Okay, could you let me know if you find her?' I asked. She nodded her head and I went upstairs.

'Clara have you seen Autumn?' I asked her and she shook her head.

'She came and told me Avia was crying, but I haven't seen her since' she admitted so I went into the spare room, just out of interest and I knew she was in here because I could see her blanket on the floor.

She was sitting behind some boxes.

'And what are you doing in here?' I asked as I crawled round the corner of the boxes, but she was snivelling.

Just like Clara, she gets upset and then hides why.

'Daddy' she cried and leant up to wrap her arms round my neck, so I lifted her onto my lap and she stayed put.

'Why are you hiding in here?' I asked her and she cried.

'Mummy was mean' she said to me and I stroked her hair.

'I don't think she was, she had to see the baby' I said to her and she shook her head.

'Mummy doesn't yike me' she said and hid her face in the blanket but started chewing it.

'Mummy doesn't like you, mummy loves you, it's just she has to look after the baby as well. But she's your baby sister' I informed her.

'So you get to help if you want' I then said and wiped the tears from her eyes.

'Come on, do you want some Pizza?' I asked her and she smiled nodding her head.

'And if you eat it all, some ice cream to cheer you up' I offered and she nodded ecstatically.

'Where was she?' Clara asked as I placed her in her high chair and sorted out the Pizza before everyone else had it.

'Did you shout at her?' I asked.

I knew she wouldn't have shouted at her on purpose even if she did, but I was curious.

'No, did she tell you I did?' She asked horrified.

'Well no not exactly but I think she could be just a tiny bit jealous' I added and she laughed at me.

'What? She's not even two' she said.

'I'm serious, she was crying in that room. She's just like you and cries alone hiding all her emotions. She thinks you don't like her' I said smirking.

'Oh, well, I pushed her off my lap but she told me Avia was crying' she said.

'And was she?' I asked. 'No actually, she was sound asleep but I didn't really think anything of it' she said.

'Do you think she might have lied to get my attention?' She asked.

'It's possible... It's hard because she's had a new sister, started nursery, changed house and got a new bed... It's a lot of change for someone who isn't even two yet'

'Yeah, maybe your right... Well maybe we could do something to cheer her up' she said and I smiled.

'She seemed pretty content with ice cream for that' I said with a smirk.

'Oh Danny thank you so much for putting the beds up, there's no way I could have left him to do it (he's not very good with tools)' Clara said and giggled.

'I can hear you, you know' I pointed out and she smirked.

'Well thanks so much guys for all your help, see you later dad' she said as she dismissed everyone from our house.

'Uhhhh, I am never going to be finished organising this house' I groaned as I emptied another box of crap basically into the bedroom.

Then I groaned again and fell on the bed.

'Okay, so what's our final count on this party then?' He asked me and I sighed.

'It's not a party... You are not throwing a party' I corrected him.

'Yes I am' he smiled deviously.

'So what exactly are we getting her for her birthday?' He asked.

'I'm not sure yet but while we're here... Could we you know just float my birthday this year and revisit it next year because to be totally honest I can't really be bothered' I said hoping he would agree but I knew he wouldn't.

He just laughed in my face. 'Your kidding right... I've already got a whole day planned, and it falls conveniently on a Friday this year. It's all ready to go!' He said and I sighed in defeat.

I didn't think he would give in that easily.

'Plus... The party's yours as well' he said and I groaned. 'No way!' I demanded.

'Clara... It's your 30th Birthday. We are not floating that!' I he said.

'So what colour are we doing this room then?' He asked.

He doesn't have any opinion on the house or any of the colours, he just mumbles and says that as long as I like it he's not bothered.

'Well I think for our room a simple white would work, but I don't mind if you want to add some blue' I said and he smiled.

'Well I was thinking- wait here' he said and put a finger to my mouth to emphasise this.

'Here' he climbed over the paint bucket and handed me some bedsheets.

'Well there blue, so I figured they match the Tardis and there bedsheets so it works' he said and I laughed.

'Yeah well get the paint on the wall chin boy then we can make sure that these bed sheets work properly.'

'Can I help?' Autumn cried as she ran into our bedroom.

'Ummm, you'll have to ask Mummy' he said nervously.

I was not into the idea of having walls that look half digested by a two year old but she was so excited I couldn't say no and he promised he would fix any damage.

So I took Avia downstairs and played with her for the afternoon.

'Okay Clara, You can come up now' he said and then I heard him freak out at Autumn telling her not to leave the dust sheet... I can only imagine how she looked.

'Oh wow, Autumn your all covered in paint' I said shocked at how much she had in her hair.

'So's daddy' she said excited about the prospect.

'Shall we go and get you cleaned up?' I asked her and she nodded when I took her hand leading her out of the room.

'Here watch Avia' I said and put the bouncy seat on the floor and she looked at him mesmerised.

'Okay, I cleaned her up and she looks remarkably more clean now she has some clean clothes on' I said and she ran straight back in the room looking for the paint.

'Yeah, I don't think so.' I said as I grabbed her waist and lifted her so she was to go nowhere near the paint again.
