Chapter 1: Orion & Oswin

Hi... :) Back so soon?

The Doctor's POV

Two years. It had been two years since I last saw Clara. I pushed pointless buttons on the console.

"DOCTOR!" I heard a shout from behind me.

"Wha- Missy?!" I questioned. She slapped me hard across the cheek, "What was that for?!" I asked as I rubbed my cheek.

"Don't act all innocent, Doctor!" She exclaimed, "What is wrong with you?"

I groaned, "Just go away, Missy."

"No."

"Missy. I did what had to be done." I shrugged as I went to the other side of the console, "How long has it been since Clara last saw me?"

"Well... four months after your meeting in the park with her." she said.

"So my beautiful Oswin is one year old. And our son has also been born, right?" she nodded, "What did Clara call him?"

"Orion." she told me.

I smiled, "Named after the brightest constellation." Missy nodded in confirmation.

"No new companion for you, Doctor?"

I shook my head, "I can't. I don't really want another one. They'll end up falling in love with me and I don't think I could ever love them back. Clara still holds my hearts." I told her, "Has any other species tried to take Oswin or Orion away?"

"Surprisingly. No."

"There... That's why I made her forget me. So nothing would come after her or our children."

"Doctor, you don't understand. She is under so much stress. She misses you and she doesn't even remember who you are!" Missy exclaimed as she started to put coordinates in. Moments later we landed. "Get out. Now." she said.

"Okay okay!" I raised my hands up in surrender as I exited.

"Doctor! When I said that I wanted you to keep Clara safe I didn't mean like this!" Dave said.

I sighed, "Dave... creatures were going to come and take Orion away. I couldn't let that happen."

"You did a pretty good job of keeping Oswin safe! I'm one hundred percent sure that you didn't need to make Clara forget you!" Dave exclaimed.

Missy then whacked me on the back of my head, "He's Doctor bloody Idiot!"

Clara's POV - three years later

After putting Orion into his bed, I headed into the sitting room. "Mummy!" Oswin said as she walked towards me. She reached up to grab my hand.

"Come on." I whispered, "Bedtime." I went into Oswin and Orion's bedroom and put her into her own bed. Missy had somehow installed another room into my flat... god knows how... I reached down to the floor and picked up the plush Police Box and handed it to Oswin. I sighed as I sat on the edge of her bed. Oswin and Orion never went to sleep without at least one story. I could vaguely remember some adventures that me and the Doctor had... Still couldn't remember his face, "Right." I started as I smiled down at Oswin. Orion then jumped out of bed and sat next to me. Oswin crawled so that she sat on the other side of me.

"Daddy come home soon?" Oswin asked. Considering that she is part Gallifreyan... she understands things a lot better than a normal human baby. She understood that she had a father but she never had never seen him.

I sighed, "Your daddy will come home one day, Oswin." I whispered. I hope. "You want to hear about the Daleks?" she smiled widely in response. I then signed to Orion: 'Daleks?' he nodded his head quickly. I reached into my pocket and got out the sonic sunglasses. I put them over Orion's eyes so that he could read the words as I spoke them, "Your grandma Missy and I went to Skaro to help your daddy. He was being an idiot and he got stuck with the bad guys." Orion clutched his plush Dalek tightly.
