Watching the Doctor

The Doctor's Daughter

Hi guys,

So I lied, I'm going to go for a mix of summarising the script and just '...' where it is obvious what's happening. This obviously takes a while though, so progress may take a bit. Will, try to keep update semi-frequent so we can continue the story where we left off, but we'll see how it goes. Don't expect daily uploads like this, I just had some free time.

Thanks for reading,

Robyn

The group watched as the screen turned black and the words 'The Doctor's Daughter' appeared on screen. Almost as soon as the group registered the words, they all turned to the Doctor, mostly in confusion. The Doctor's face was crinkled in thought, she wasn't quite sure what the video title could be referring too and she wasn't sure she wanted to watch this video (but like always she wasn't going to get a choice).

Martha and Donna, however, seemed to be the only people in the room who had an idea of what the video could be about, sharing a concerned look unseen to the rest of the group.

"Doctor? Do you know what this is about?" Amy asked, confusion obvious in her tone and on her face. Most of the group was aware the Doctor had children at one point but they'd never thought they'd hear or see anything about them.

"I'm not sure..." The Doctor said, expression concerned. There were so many things this video could be about and none of them would be nice to watch.

"Doctor." Donna started. Voice unusually calm and quiet, setting the Doctor on edge immediately. It took a few seconds for her to be able to meet Donna's gaze only to find Martha giving her a similar look which only made her all the more on edge. "Do you think this could be about Jenny?"

The Doctor's hearts froze and stuttered. Jenny. She hadn't even considered her youngest child who'd died so soon after being born. Based on the videos they had seen so far, that would make much more sense than going back to her original days on Gallifrey or most of her other ideas.

"I guess we'll see." She answered, schooling her face blank. The group all shot her a concerned look, most of them had no clue what they had been talking about with Jenny but based on their reactions it wasn't going to be a nice video.

"That's worst than your normal piloting. And that's saying something." River raised an eyebrow at the clearly out of control Tardis. The Doctor pouted while Donna and Martha nodded enthusiastically.

Unnoticed to the rest of the group Donna and Martha shared another look – this was definitely going to be about Jenny.

They're getting thrown around

"Hand! Why do you have a hand in a jar!" Yaz exclaimed at seeing the jar, most of the group looked equally concerned/disgusted.

"Wait did you say it was yours?" Ryan added, having caught the last part of the Doctor's sentence.

Jack, Rose, Mickey, Martha and Donna were the only ones that knew anything about the hand and all had their own reactions to it. Jack and Rose looked mostly nostalgic upon seeing it, thinking back to their own travels with Pinstripes. Martha and Donna both were too worried about the video itself to focus much about the hand – it had been weird enough at the time but they were used to the Doctor's Doctor-ness at this point. Mickey just shook his head; he'd been around for all the nonsense with the hand (both it getting cut off and then the meta-crisis) and he'd been hoping to never have to deal with it again.

The Doctor focused on the rest of the group who had no idea about the hand. "Well, it's a long story involving a sword fight on Christmas Day and them Jack finding my severed hand and well, like I said long story." The Doctor tried to explain in a ramble before giving up when faced with the group's disbelieving looks. Those that knew the story were snickering at the rest of the group's expressions.
