(A/N- There is another authors note at the bottom. I just wanted to put one up here, to let you know that this is an LGBTQ+ chapter and Kyraiah is an LGBTQ+ character. If this is something you can't accept you should just stop reading now.)

After the draining adventure, they had been on, they all went to their rooms. Kys head was swimming. She had things she needed to ask her dad. And other things she needed to tell him, but the idea of it terrified her.

Eventually, she decided to talk to him but first, she wanted to go to the one place she knew she was already safe. The place where her secrets were already laid bare. Jacks room. She had already told him, he'd understand and he did. Of course, he did, and he told her that her dad would too.

Sitting on his old bed, she began to feel confident but knew that wouldn't last if she left. So instead she had the Tardis summon her dad to the room. It didn't take him long to get there. He was shocked at the location but figured she'd tell him why.

Once he walked into the room and sat next to her, she stiffened slightly. He wondered what could make her act this way. He had an idea but he wasn't sure.

"Dad, I felt every jolt you felt. Every zap of electricity you felt. I knew this could happen, I heard about it as a child. But I hadn't felt it until today. I guess I figured it was only through biological families. But then after today, I realised I was wrong. You knew though. After you came back, from defeating the wire. I knew you knew about it. Why didn't I then? Why didn't you tell me? Why did I never feel it? And how long have you known?" The redhead said, slightly timidly, looking at the floor. Her booted feet scuffed across the floor. Her left-hand fiddled with the bracelet on her right wrist. She was nervous he noted, but about what he wondered it couldn't just be this he thought.

"Princess, I should have told you. I know I should have but I didn't want you to ever feel it if I could help it. This is silly because I knew at some point you would. When I eventually regenerate again, I mean, you'll feel it then. I won't be able to stop you from feeling that. I'm so sorry. As for why you didn't, that's because I try to be careful and if I can't I try to block it. I don't want you to have to feel my physical pain. Just like I don't want you to have to feel my most intense emotions. I don't mind feeling yours because you're my little girl. Even though your good at usually good at blocking them as well though. Our bond though, little one, is amazing. You were right before when you said that you thought it was just through biological families because I was certain that was true too. It's never been heard of before, to have this sort of connection just through a mental bond, I thought it was just a biological bond that has it. So I did some checking, and I even got the Tardis to check our DNA. It wasn't a match but we knew that, but I did find some writing in an old book from our home. On the bonds between family, and it did say it was possible, for our bond to develop into that point if it was an extremely strong bond. And as for when, um, that would be when we were in the alternate universe. You scraped your hand, when you were climbing that fence, you didn't realise it but you had. It was like a stinging sensation on my palm but no injury was there. I was confused for a second, then I realised what it was. So I made sure to keep it blocked." The male Timelord said, looking at his daughter, who didn't want to make eye contact. But when she finally did, he could see nerves and anxiety in her eyes. But mainly there was hurt and vulnerability. He couldn't understand why most of those emotions were there.

"Okay, I forgive you for not telling me and I get why you didn't." The girl said, reaching over to hug her father. Both leaning into the comfort, both realising that they needed this contact with each other, both affirming the bond they had. Breaking apart from the hug, Ky took a deep breath.

"Um, dad there was another reason I asked you in here." The redhead said, yet again looking at the floor, scuffing her boots against that very same spot she's staring at and playing with her charm bracelet.

"What is it, sweetheart? I mean I was wondering why we were in Jacks room?" The Doctor realised that this could be the moment. Her moment of truth.

"Because dad, this is the only room I've ever said this in." The girl said, yet again unable to meet his eyes, her breath starting to pick up in uneven panicked breaths. "Go on little one, whatever it is you can tell me. I won't be offended that you told jack before me either." All the Doctor wanted to do was support his little girl. She could tell him whatever it was and he would still embrace her, just the way he always had.

"Dad, I um, I mean like, okay, I, I, I, don't um, just like guys. I mean yeah sometimes I'm attracted to them, but not just them. I sometimes feel attracted to girls too." She rushed out as quick as she could, finishing with a deep breath. Even after that deep breath, Ky couldn't even look at him or breathe properly.

"Oh little one, did you think this would make me love you less? Because it doesn't. I love you, just as I have since I found you." He says, bringing her in for another hug.

"I got why you told Jack first as well. You know he'd understand, right?" The male Timelord said as his daughter buried her face into his chest, her still taking ragged, anxious breaths. She was calming slightly but not very quickly. "Yeah, he told me you see me the same anyway but to wait till I was ready. And after seeing the way you reacted to me taking an interest in Tommy I knew I finally had to tell you."

"You saw that? I guess I'm not very good at subtle am I?..." The Doctor starts to joke with her and she instantly jumps in. "No, no you're not."

"...I have to tell you I had my suspicions after Reinette but I wanted to wait till you were comfortable telling me. I wasn't going to push you. And at the same time, if you never flat out said anything but eventually met a woman you loved and had me meet her, I'd have been fine with that too." He clarifies. It wasn't a big thing to him, it might be to her but to him, he didn't care about who she fell for, just as long as she was happy.

"So you're okay with me being bisexual?" She asked, making sure that he really was okay with it.

"Of course why wouldn't I be?" He had to ask back, he couldn't see why she would think he wasn't. Then he realised that she didn't get much connection growing up, she didn't have anyone to talk to about this. There wasn't anyone to confide in about this sort of one, there wasn't anyone to tell things to and there wasn't anyone to be there to accept her for who she is.

" Also means less chance of you meeting some guy and me going all you know threatening dad," He joked again, making his daughter finally lift her head. Rolling her eyes and chuckling she responded to him, "Oh the oncoming storm coming out at a guy because of his daughter, it'd most likely scare him to death."

"Oh haha very funny, have you told Rose yet?" He said

"No, I still have to do that." The young Timelady admitted.

"She'll be good, I promise, she'll be okay with it." Her father

"Hopefully."

And she was when Ky went to tell Rose, she was more confident than before. Rose was so accepting of it. She even joked with her about a bit. She also told her best friend she had her suspicions but wanted her best friend to be comfortable in coming out to her. Ky told her that she didn't know what she was until she ended up with them and found a book in the library, with that book she realised that was the word for it in human terms. They never had words like that on Gallifrey, they also didn't have to come out as such, you were just what you were. But being here with them, she felt like she had to. Rose was from earth and it was more of a thing to do than there and as for her dad, well he wasn't biologically her father so she felt like this may be different for them. She felt like she had to.

Rose then told her about the bi pride flag and said she could get one when she got to earth. Little did the redhead know, the blonde had the Tardis order her one and had it sent to her mum for the next time they went to see her.

( A/N- Yes I made Kyraiah Bisexual. If you don't care for this or don't support it, you can stop reading. Any hate will be reported. It was a big thing to me for this to be represented because I'm Bisexual myself. So it meant a lot to me. I, myself, didn't have a good coming out. My parents, especially my mum, aren't supportive and don't believe in this. This is my truth but I'm not allowed to show this.)
