THTL: The Doctor's Daughter [2] SLOW UPDATES

The Christmas Invasion

The Tardis comes out of the vortex in mid-air and bounces off one block of flats, a second and a third before avoiding a post office van and finally crashing into a set of waste bins. The Doctor opens the door, still in his t-shirt and leather jacket from the previous regeneration.

"Here we are then, London. Earth. The Solar System. We did it. Jackie. Mickey. Blimey! No, no, no, no, hold on. Wait there. I've got something to say. There was something I had to tell you, something important. What was it? No, hold on, hold on. Hold on, shush, shush, shush, shush. Oh, I know! Merry Christmas!" The Doctor exclaims before he collapses.

Rose comes out of the Tardis, with Nova behind her with a wide grin on her face "Well that was fun" Then she notices her dad on the ground and runs to his side. "Dad!"

Rose looks at them "What happened? Is he all right?"

Mickey shakes his head "I don't know, he just keeled over. But who is he? Where's the Doctor?"

"That's him, right in front of you. That's the Doctor." Rose tells them.

Jackie looks between her daughter and the Doctor "What do you mean, that's the Doctor? Doctor Who?" 

Nova rolls her eyes "Will someone please help me get him up?" Rose moves and helps her get the Doctor up.

The Doctor has been dressed in pajamas and put to bed.

Jackie comes in with a stethoscope. "Here we go. Tina the cleaner has got this lodger, a medical student, and she was fast asleep, so I just took it. Though I still say we should take him to hospital."

Nova listens to both sides of the Doctor's chest. Rose looks at Nova and questions "Both working?"

Nova nods "Yep both working"

Jackie looks between the two girls "What do you mean, both?"

Rose looks at Jackie "Well, he's got two hearts."

Jackie rolls her eyes "Oh, don't be stupid."

Nova looks at her a serious look on her face "It's true Jacks he's got two hearts, and since I'm his daughter that means I have two hearts as well."

Jackie looks at Rose and Nova "Anything else he's got two of?"

Nova wrinkles her nose "Ew... I don't need to know that."

Rose rolls her eyes at her mother "Leave him alone."

Rose and Jackie leave while Nova stays by her father's side for a bit longer. The Doctor exhales some of the Tardis' golden energy, which flies off into space. Nova notices and thinks 'Well that can't be good' She closes her eyes for a moment and the fact that she can still feel her dad in her head comforts her a little bit because she knows that he will get better once the regeneration is fully complete.

Rose investigates the fridge. Jackie looks at Rose "How can he go changing his face? Is that a different face or is he a different person?"

Rose looks at her mum "How should I know? Sorry. The thing is I thought I knew him, Mum. I thought we were friends and then he goes and does this and tells me nothing beforehand. I keep forgetting he's not human. The big question is where'd you get a pair of men's pajamas from?"

Nova walks into the kitchen with them "Howard's been staying over."

Rose looks at her "What, Howard from the market?"

Nova cuts in "ohhhh how long's that been going on?"

Jackie smiles at Nova "A month or so. First of all, he starts delivering to the door and I thought, that's odd. Next thing you know, it's a bag of oranges"
