Chapter Twenty Nine - Rocking Christmas




3rd Person-

He rocks in the tree tops all day long

Hoppin' and a-boppin' and singing his song

All the little birdies on Jaybird Street

Love to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet

Rockin' robin, rock rock

Rockin' robin'

Blow rockin' robin

'Cause we're really gonna rock tonight

Mum and Kate were singing and dancing around the living room decorating for Christmas. Beginning of December and all the being gone for a few months behind us ready for the celebrations. Clyde came in with Luke who looked both baffled and amused at Mum and Kate.

"Sorry about them, they're always like this. Something about December brings out the worst in them." Clyde sighs and rolls his eyes as Mum dances her way into the kitchen.

"Mum, Clyde is being a scrooge again!" His sister calls

"What else is new." She laughed and she stopped beaming at them.

"I still don't understand why we celebrate a man that was supposedly born from a deity and had mystical powers. There is limited historical fact to prove Jesus was real." Luke stated

"He is real, I was there when he was born. One of the only historical facts that is wrong in the bible was that there were three wise men. They were them, me and Dad." Kate scowled

"Wait, hold up." Clyde held his hands up "You met baby Jesus."

"Yeah. I was and always have been convinced he was real. Dad on the other hand was a skeptic. So I hijacked the Tardis to prove a point and landed a mile outside Bethlehem. It took me less than a hour to find the stable. The only thing I can't prove and that is based on faith is that he's God's son." they stared at me in shock. "What? a good 75-80% of what the bible says is true the rest is over embellishment or narrow minded one side story. That and the timing of the birth but we celebrate him. Did you know that his Hebrew name is Yeshua which is loosely translate to Joshua. "

"How do you even know half of this."

"I'm a nosy time traveller with a point to prove. Duh." The two shrugged "That reminds me." she looked behind her to her Mum baking and pulls them out into the hallway.

"The past few Christmas's are know to be a...magnet for trouble."

"What do you mean?" Luke asked

"Are you talking about those lame attempts..." Clyde started but was cut off by his sister.

"After everything we've seen since moving here, you're really still gonna not believe?" she folded her arms making her brother sigh. "Mom! We're going to Sarah Janes for a hour!" Kate called

"Okay Love." Kate took them out and they headed over to Sarah Jane's Maria joined them as well.

"Hi." Kate greeted "Sarah Jane, can I borrow Mr Smith."

"He's not a toy."

"I know, but I'm catching Luke up on the Christmas trend so he knows what might happen this year." she nodded and they all headed up "Mr Smith I need you." there was fan fare and air blowing her hair back.

"Good Afternoon Katelyn."

"Good Afternoon Mr Smith. can you bring up the sycorax Christmas footage from a couple of years ago." he did so showing Luke and everyone.

"Wait the space ship was real?" Maria breathed

"Yeah. Us Humans are so curious about what's up there we send everyone and their mother out one day. We're so loud, noisy and they heard us. Guinevere one basically got kidnapped before it could reach Mars by a race called the Sycorax. Dad, Rose and i were on that space ship. Dad had just regenerated and he was of little help until the last moment." I shivered

"Sometimes when your travelling with him, you think you can do anything, because he does it. Yet you have to remember he's had practice. I stood there in front of thousands of Sycorax only a child trying to be like her father." My thoughts shifted to when I addressed them. Dad had done it so many times, I thought why couldn't I? To say it didn't go well would be a understatement but I've grown and should anything like that happen again. I do know what I am talking about. "Dad challenged the leader and they were going to leave when Torchwood butted their noses in." I huff

"Torchwood?" Luke asked

"Home work for you Lukey." I smile a little

"Not that he needs to know about that just yet." Sarah Jane gave me a stern look

"Whatever. Then there was last year with the Racnoss and the 'Christmas star' yet another space ship and Dad blundering in draining the entire thames."

"Wait you spent Christmas with us last year, you watched it on tv."

"Yeah. I did, he told me about it." I nodded "Which brings us to this year, aliens are become more brazen with their appearances. Humans are well aware of those beyond our atmosphere. I can sense it....they're scared that something's coming." It went deathly silent

"Nothing to be worried about though.. Oh that reminds me. Maria, I need help shopping. A dress for the Christmas show."

-The week before Christmas-

I waited nervously behind the curtains of the school stage. It was the Christmas musical and I was the final act for the night, closing the show and it was a big deal. Soon as I was given the green light to go out on to the darkened stage and took my place.

Love actually all I want for christmas

I took a bow to the applause and walked off the stage. 10 minutes later I weaved my way through the crowd to Mum and Clyde.

"Baby! You were amazing!" She wrapped me up in her arms and twirled me around "I'm so proud of you."

"Yeah for once you didn't sound like a wailing banshee." Clyde joked.

"Kate never sounds like a forbidding spirit when she sings." Luke interjected making me laugh

"Beautiful." Sarah Jane smiled

"Thanks guys." My phone buzzed and I died down. it was attached to my ankle. I know very A cinderella story vibes. Anyway you get the idea. i took it from it's place and looked down. "And that's my ride."

"Why doesn't your dad come over and say hello." Mom sighed and I glanced at the others.

"He's socially awkward since...the..surgery. Yeah you remember i told you, he lost all the weight, had a bit done. Like a whole new man." Clyde snorted and I elbowed him "Maybe one of these days. Let me work on it." I kissed her cheek and hugged the others before grabbing my coat.

"Katie!" there was a loud whisper and turned around sharply "Kate!" I saw Dad come out of the shadows.

"What the hell you scared me." I look behind him "Where's Martha?"

"How long has it been since we last saw each other?" he questioned

"Like Five months. Why?"

"And i brought you back from Egypt?" his head tilted

"Not quite you found me cozying up with Alexander the great after I did a runner, are you okay, the you that came to get me clearly hasn't been what you have." I made my way over to him and rested my hands on his arms.

"I'm fine now." he tried to give me his best smile

"No you're not." I moved and rested my hand on his cheek. "Dad, you don't have to pretend with me okay." He shook his head a cleared the misty fog of whatever had happened.

"Right Christmas trip off we go." he took my hand and pulled be through the corridors of school and to the tardis parked in a airing cupboard "Beautiful voice by the way. Proud Dad moment." he let go and moved around the consul as I stared sadly at him
