The Eleventh Doctor and Clara stood at the console when the TARDIS lurched and they were knocked out. When Clara came to, several people stood around the console. A young woman with red hair knelt beside her and said: "are you okay?" Clara said slowly: "yeah, I think so. Who are you?" The young woman said: "my name is Jenny. Jenny Williams. Are you hurt?" Clara said slowly: "I don't think so. But how are you all here? This shouldn't be possible." A man came up beside Jenny and knelt beside Jenny and said: "temporal time vortex. It pulled us all here from different places. Don't worry. We're all getting over the shock ourselves. My name is John Smith. I'm Jenny's father. My wife and I were traveling with Jenny and her husband when we were pulled here. We're trying to figure out what the hell happened that caused this." Clara slowly sat up and looked over and saw the Eleventh Doctor still unconscious. She slowly crawled over to him and swiftly untied his bowtie and pulled it off and shook his arm and said: "Doctor!" Nothing. A woman with black hair knelt beside Clara and felt for a pulse. She looked at Clara and said gently: "I'm sorry. He's dead. The impact must have been worse than anticipated. It looks like his neck was snapped somehow." Jenny turned and John pulled her into his arms. After a while, Jenny pulled away and stood and walked over to Clara and knelt beside Clara and said gently: "it's hard saying goodbye, isn't it?" Clara broke down and cried and nodded. Jenny pulled Clara into her arms and held her close and let her cry into her shoulder and said gently: "shhh. It's okay. It's okay. I'm here. I'm right here. Just let it out. It's okay." Clara cried into Jenny's shoulder. The young soon to be mother held Clara close to her as she cried. Jenny was in the third trimester of her pregnancy. Jenny gently stroked Clara's hair and comforted her. John pulled Amy into his arms. Everyone in the console room was silent. Except for Jenny who was comforting Clara. John was proud of his daughter who was being the strong one at the moment. She was the rock, the foundation, the shelter from the storm. Jenny knew that she had to be the strong one at the moment and hold things together. And she wasn't going to break down and cry. She would hold things together. Jenny wasn't afraid. She was no stranger to death. So she was able to be the strong one at the moment. After a while, Clara stopped crying. Jenny stayed there on the floor with Clara who was leaning into her embrace. Rose left. She wasn't even supposed to be here. She was supposed to be dead. Amy was also pregnant. Jenny gently stroked Clara's hair and said gently: "I know how you feel. I've lost people too. I lost my first husband and my daughter and my mother all in the same week. My daughter was born stillborn. I lost my first husband and my mother to a sudden illness. I'm no stranger to death. I've seen plenty of it. More than enough." Clara said shakily: "how do you handle it? The grief?" Jenny said gently: "I turn to my loved ones to help me get through the grief. Losing someone you love is never easy. It hurts like hell. I've been there before." Then the two women stood. Jenny stood with some difficulty and braced herself with the railing. Clara helped Jenny stand up. Jenny decided to take charge of things. She said: "okay, we'll get out of this TARDIS and into mine." John said: "is that even possible?" Jenny raised her wrist and hit a button on her watch. (It actually isn't a watch. It's a time vortex manipulator that looks like a watch.) Then Jenny's TARDIS materialized in the console room. Amy said: "that answers that question." Then everyone filed into Jenny's TARDIS. Jenny and Clara were last after Clara grabbed her bag which was packed. The two women walked into Jenny's TARDIS and closed the doors. Jenny walked up the ramp and sat down at the console and flipped several switches and pushed the lever forward and made the jump to hyperspace. Jenny looked at Clara and noticed that she looked like she was about to fall asleep. Donna noticed too and guided Clara down the hall to her room. (Yes, Donna has a room in Jenny's TARDIS. She frequently travels with John, Amy, Jenny, and Rory.) Jenny was glad that Donna was there. Due to her condition, there were some things that she couldn't do. Thankfully, Donna was there during the duration of her pregnancy. John had called Donna when they found out that both Amy and Jenny was pregnant. Donna had chosen to stick around to help Jenny with things. For this, Jenny was grateful. Because, as loveable as John and Rory were, they didn't understand certain things. The other people went back to their individual places. Meanwhile, in the console room. Rory walked over to Jenny and said: "you okay? You look exhausted." Jenny sighed and said: "physically, I'm fine. Emotionally, not even close. Right now, I want to go lay down and sleep for at least a week." Rory said: "go ahead. I'll take over here." Jenny stood and walked down the hall to their room and walked in and lay down and fell asleep immediately.
