Fern was completely asleep, her raggedy dress brushing the ground slightly as she was carried down the street back to the house she shared with Chris, Eric, and Greg. Fern snuggled more into the Rose's chest. The Doctor and Jack nearly had a fist fight in which to carry Fern out. The Doctor said that since he was Fern's 'father' that he should carry her, while Jack said that he would be able to carry her better because he wasn't, 'a skinny twig man'. Rose just rolled her eyes, and with surprising strength, carried the teenager out of the T.A.R.D.I.S. to follow Chris to their house.

"Rose, you must be getting tired, let me carry Fern for a while." Jack said, holding his arms out to carry Fern.

"I'm fine." Rose said bluntly. Jack sighed and fell to the back of the group with the Doctor to hang his head in defeat.

"She's nice to carry, huh?" Chris said.

"Yeah." Rose answered.

"I remember when she was a little kid, I was able to swoop her up and carry her around for hours. She's like a little heater, if you're cold, you can just hold her and you'll be warm." Chris said, the memories of when Fern was little flooding his mind.

"Do you know why the Doctor and Jack fight over Fern like that?" Chris asked Rose.

"I believe that the Doctor is just trying to make up for the fact that he wasn't there for eleven years when he promise he would. . . I'm not sure about Jack. . ." Rose looked back at Jack and Doctor to see them arguing quietly. Rose got a little closer to Chris.

"I think Jack is in love with Fern. . ." Rose said quietly to the man. Chris hid his gasp by covering his mouth.

"Really? Wow. . . How old is he?" Chris asked.

"I have no idea." Rose admitted, readjusting her grip on Fern who was still casually sleeping in her arms.

"He looks to be Greg's age. . ." Chris said, stealing a glance at Jack, who was still arguing with the Doctor.

"Yeah, looks, see he can't die. Every time he does he comes back to life." Rose said.

"Oh, wow. Well, what're we supposed to do?"

"I think we should let it play out, meaning to not interfere." Rose added the last part, seeing Chris' eager expression. Chris huffed, rolling his eyes and pouting like the gay child he was.

"CHRISTOPHER QUINCY WESTER WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!" A voice exclaimed.

"Bullocks." Chris said looked to the voice. It was Eric, running up to the group, Greg trailing behind and rolling his eyes.

"Hush up, Fern is asleep." Chris whispered to Eric. Eric saw Fern in Rose's arms, took her out of the woman's and started to carry her instead.

"What the bloody hell just happened. How come he gets to carry her and o don't?" The Doctor said.

"I thought I got her if you got tired!" Jack said.

"Oh, bugger off!" Eric said carrying his 'sister' back to the house.

"Eric!" Chris said. Greg rolled his eyes and hugged his partner.

"You know how he is, very protective of his family." Greg said.

"So how was Paris?" Greg asked as they headed back toward the house, which Eric was already in.

"It was breathtaking."

"So was Fern," Jack muttered. The Doctor heard it though and tried to trip Jack, but only caused him to stumble. Jack glared at the Doctor. Rose face-palmed and muttered to herself:

"Oh my god, I'm surrounded by children."
