Chapter 14
[hello everyone! This chapter is after the date with River. In case you were wondering why it seems out of sync. I wanted to write about how his companions would react to him being married.]
Martha's POV
I look over at the phone. To dial or not to dial. I'll say one thing- I miss him. I'm not sure what will happen if I call. I'm scared to find out.
Mickey has been very good to me. We even have a daughter now. But there's always something in me that wishes for that with the Doctor. It's easier to deal with it when I don't see him, but sometimes I feel like I need to see him. Maybe one day I'll get over that.
I sure hope so. He is an amazing man that I love in more ways than one. Mickey is my husband, so of course I love him. I still feel guilty about the little part in me that wishes for that alien though. Which is stupid; he's an alien.
I press send.
Doctor's POV
RING RING RING. RING RING RING.
I don't pull away from her lips. Who knows? This could be the last time I see her for a while. Alright, probably not, but I'll have to take her back to the university soon. So I continue, kissing her roughly, pushing her against the console.
"Sweetie." She breathes out as I begin to softly kiss her jaw line. "What is it?" I ask, stroking her arm gently. "Aren't you going to answer the phone?" She asks, amused.
"No." I say, and then I'm kissing her again. RING RING RING. RING RING RING. RING RING-
"Hello?" River says, flipping the phone open. "River. Hang up. We can call back when we aren't busy." I tell her, planting kisses up her neck.
"Yes, he's here. No. He's a little.... pre-occupied. Mmmhmm. I'll tell him. What's the date? Alright. What would the time be? Oh...." She lets out as I nip at her neck. "No, it's just.... He might be busy for a little while. Well then. I'll certainly tell him, but he can't stop this quickly. He has a... task he's working on. Yes. Ok. Thank you. One moment. " She talks into the phone. After she talked a little while, she looks down at me. I'm currently hugging her/snuggling her chest.
"It's Martha Jones. Says she wants to see you again. Talk to her." She says, holding out the phone. "No. Tell her I'll call back."
"I know you can't really stop for long, but just tell her hello! My goodness!" She tells me. "River!" I whine, gently rubbing the side of her neck.
"You are now on speaker." She says, shooting me a look. "Doctor?" I hear a voice call from the phone. "Yes. It's me. New voice." I say. "Would you mind coming and visiting? I know you're busy now, but can you come afterwards? there's someone I want you to meet." She says.
I soften up a little. It has been a while since I saw her. "Yes, of course. You told River the date?" I ask her. "Yes, I did."
I feel warmer. Uh-oh. "Listen, Martha, I really have to go now. But I'll come as soon as possible. I'll even bring Amy and Rory!"
"Ok?" She says suspiciously. "Doctor, what are you doing?"
"Something really important." I pause to look over at River, who feels the need to smirk at me. Yes, it's really warm in here. "I've got to go. Bye!" I say, and hang up. I turn to River.
"Now. You. Come here."
Martha's POV
The Doctor finally comes around lunch time. I hear the TARDIS noise, and I run out. The blue box fades in.
I run up to it and knock on the door. "Doctor!" I call. It swings inward, and a man in a bow tie and a tweed jacket walks out. "Martha! It's good to see you!" The man says, giving me a hug.
"I popped out and got Amy and Rory after you called. I want you to meet them."
"Excuse me, but where's the Doctor?" I ask suspiciously. I don't even know this guy. He puts on a pouty face. "You really don't recognize me? I just changed my face! Do you like it?" he says, patting his cheeks.
"You're the Doctor?" I ask, slowly walking around him. "Yes, that's him." A blond, curly haired woman with a gun at her side steps out. "Although sometimes I think his tenth was sexier." She adds, sending him a smirk.
"I like this one just fine, River! It's sexy too!" He shoots back. She rolls her eyes. "Well, your bum is nice, sweetie, but you're so pale!" She says.
Who is this lady, why is she talking about his bum, and why is she calling him sweetie? "Oh, you know you love it." he says back cheekily. "I do." She responds with a wink.
"Oi! You two! Stop flirting! Save it for later." A pale red head steps out. "Come on, mum. You flirt with dad all the time." The blond says back.
I sit down on a bench next to the TARDIS. What is going on? The blond looks older than the red head, so why is she calling her mum? The Doctor's friends can be very confusing. Though, from the way the Doctor is hovering protectively by the blond, I'd say they're more than friends.
The red head shrugs. "True. But you are the one who taught me how to flirt when we were kids." A man steps out wearing a red cape and armour. "River is the one who taught you how to flirt? Isn't that a bit weird?" He asks.
"Isn't everything weird in our lives?" she asks him. He shrugs. "Fair point."
I hear the door to our house open. I turn around to see Mickey rushing towards us. "Mickey Mouse! It's good to see you!" The Doctor says, rushing to give him a hug.
Mickey looks the group over. "Who the hell are you?" he demands. "Yes, dear, introduce us." The blond-or River, nudges him.
"Right! This is Rory and Amy Pond-" He's cut off by Rory. "No, it's Williams. That's how it works. She takes my name, Doctor."
"-as I was saying, Amy and Rory Pond. I'm the Doctor. New face. I regenerated. And-" he pauses, twiddling the bow tie, "-a cooler fashion sense." He says, smiling. "Oh, give me a break! Fezzes are NOT cool." River says, giving him a glare. "Ok, how about this. I'll give up my fezzes if you'll give up your guns." He shoots back.
"Oh, I know you like it when I use a gun. You've told me yourself. Remember when we-" She starts, but is cut off by the Doctor's hand over her mouth. "Don't listen to her. She likes to- ow! River!" He jerks his hand away and says something in a different language. "Good grief, you don't have to curse that much!" She says, hands on her hips.
"You bit me!" "Did I?" she asks coyly. "Shut up." He tells her. "Make me." She challenges. "Oh, don't worry,-" Amy cuts him off this time. "Doctor. Stop flirting with our daughter. You can do that some other time. Now, finish introducing."
Thank God. I can't stand to see him flirting with anyone. I think I like Amy. "Right. Ponds, this is Mickey Mouse and Martha Jones." He says, gesturing to the two of us.
"Actually, It's Mickey Smith and Martha Smith. Hello." Mickey says, giving a small wave. The small group shoots us some smiles and a nod.
"And this is my, well, my wife. Professor River Song." He says, gesturing towards River. His wife?
She extends a hand. "I've heard about you." She says, offering a smile. I force a smile and shake her hand. "It's nice to meet you." Mickey says, shaking her hand as well.
"You know, you don't really seem like a marriage person. This is a surprise." Mickey adds.
They look at each other. "It's complicated." River says. The Doctor nods. "Very." "I have a question. Why is Rory dressed as a Roman soldier?" I ask them.
"You don't want to know." The Doctor shudders and shoots a look at Amy.
"So, who is it you said you wanted to introduce us to?" He asks. I smile. "She should be here any minute." I promise them.
"Would you like to come in for a cuppa?" Mickey asks them politely. "That would be fantastic! Do you happen to have fish fingers and custard as well?" The Doctor says, brushing past Mickey towards the house. Still the same.
"Um, no." I say, scrunching together my eyebrows. This version is a bit weird. "Jammy dodgers?" He asks hopefully, pushing the door open.
"No." I reply, walking after him. "What do you people eat?" He asks, going to the sofa and sitting down. The Ponds and River followed. "Normal food..." I say slowly. This version of the Doctor is strange. Well, I guess, strange for an alien with two hearts.
I go into the kitchen and pour some tea for them all. This Doctor is a lot different from my Doctor. The same, but different. I poke my head back in the living room. "How many sugars?" I ask, interrupting their's and Mickey's conversation. I notice the Doctor's hand is on River's knee. They tell me what they take in their tea, and I go back into the kitchen.
River's POV
Martha loves him too. I can tell. I only saw it after we were flirting. I didn't mean to make her jealous. Why does he have to make everyone fall for him?
The look on her face when he found out he was married.... I just don't know. She loves her own husband as well, but the way she looks at him....
River. The Doctor is nudging my mind. I look up at the group around me. They are looking at me expectantly. What was the question? I think to him frantically.
Mickey asked if you have ever been to Torchwood. What's wrong? He asks. I ignore the last question. "Yes. I have. You work there?" I ask Mickey. He nods. "I was originally working at UNIT, but Torchwood seemed a lot more interesting. Except for Jack. He refuses to stop flirting with me."
"Jack Harkness?" I ask, scrunching my nose. The Doctor looks over to me, horrified. "You've met Jack?" He asks.
"No. But your future self was very sure to keep me away. Can't wait to meet him now." I say with a smile.
He crinkles his nose. "Well, yeah! You two in the same room... that's scary."
Dad glances over to the Doctor and I. "Why? What's he like?"
"He'll flirt with dirt." My husband says. "Hey, I'm a poet!"
"Very funny, sweetie. If anyone's a poet, it's me."
"She's right." Mom pipes in. "When she was Mels, that was one thing she was really good at. She could write long poems- all about how the government didn't give us all the rights we deserved. Teacher always took off points. She was about 12, I think."
"Actually, I was around 40 at the time." I tell her.
"You certainly look young for your age." Mickey says, confused. "It's complicated. Part time-lord. I don't age as quickly as humans do, and I've regenerated before." He nods, obviously still confused. Oh well.
The government, eh? Wow. The Doctor thinks to me. I ignore him and put up walls around my mind.
Martha comes in with the tea and sets some down in front of everyone on the coffee table. "Thank you, dear." I tell her, and take a sip. "This is good!" Mum says after sipping/slurping down some of the tea.
Martha thanks her. We all sit in silence. "So, Martha. Are we doing something, or are we just catching up, or-" The Doctor starts, but Martha stops him. Good. She knows how he rambles. "Yes, actually. There's somebody me and Mickey want you to meet later, and we wanted you to come to Torchwood. There's a new alien. The thing is, everyone forgets it as soon as it sees it. It's not very powerful, and no one has gone missing, but we wanted you to come see it."
The Doctor nods. "I think you have one of the Silence. You're right, though. It shouldn't be dangerous. Not strong enough. The thing is, I can't let it see me. If it sees me, then it'll know I'm not dead, and all hell will break loose."
"You can look at some of the video tapes we have. At Torchwood." Mickey tells him. "Good. River, stay away from Jack at all times while we're there." He says, then stands up and starts to the door. "We can go in the TARDIS. Coming?"
