Whouffaldi OneShots | Doctor Who

Happy Anniversary

Prompt: The Doctor and Clara's child(ren) meet their grandparents! (Suggested by WonderfulWhovian - a looongg time ago!)

I AM GOING TO ADMIT THAT I DID NOT FEEL LIKE THAT THIS WAS A GOOD ONE-SHOT. I DON'T THINK THAT I DID WELL WITH WRITING IT AT ALL AND I CONSIDERED NOT EVEN PUBLISHING IT. Enjoy anyway!

"Is this really necessary?" the Doctor questioned as he tried so hard not to wake his sleeping three-month old son. He occasionally rocked him now and again.

"Yes, Doctor." Clara replied as she tried to prevent her one-year old daughter from crawling under the console, "So hurry up and put the coordinates in."

The Doctor finally smiled, "Yes, boss." he then skillfully managed to enter the correct coordinates with one hand. Once we landed, the doors automatically opened which causing Oswin to try and make a dash for the exit.

"No no no." Clara said before taking the girl in her arms, "Here we go." Clara sighed.

"Here we go." the Doctor said. He then asked as they exited the TARDIS, "So... how are you going to explain this to your parents? I mean... It's only been a week since they last saw you. And it's been over a year since you last saw them. They're going to be a bit confused as to why you have two children."

She just shrugged as they reached the front door, "Looks like I'm going to have to tell them about you and the time travelling then, aren't I?" he nodded in confirmation but gulped with a nervous look. Clara managed to support her daughter in one arm as she placed her free hand on the Doctor's cheek, "They will accept you, Doctor. Otherwise, I'll leave with you."

"You couldn't possible do that, Clara." he replied, "You can't just abandon your family like that."

"You lot are my family now, Doctor." she said, "They either accept you, or they won't get to see me again." as she knocked on the door she added, "Oh. And don't pay attention to anything bad that Linda has to say. The opinions of my dad and gran are really the only ones that matter." Suddenly, the door opened.

"Clara, dear it's lovely... to... see you..." Clara's gran trailed off as Clara bit her lip in response.

Clara replied, "There is a lot of explaining that needs to doing."

"It would seem so." her gran agreed.

"You should've gave more notice, dear." Clara's gran began as they sat on the sofa, "Your father and Linda are both out at the moment. They should be back soon. Now..." she paused, "Care to explain?"

"R-Right." Clara began. Her daughter had a habit of crawling around so Clara had sat her down on the floor, "Well er-"

Her gran cut her off, "Is this the man you spoke so much of?" Clara had spoke to her gran in the past about the Doctor, though she never told her his name.

She nodded, "Yes. He is the man I spoke so much about. My husband as of one year ago."

"A year?!" she gasped. She composed herself before looking at the Doctor, "Don't think I caught your name."

"It's er- It's John Sm-"

Clara cut him off, "This is the Doctor." she didn't want him using a fake name. He deserved to use the name that he had gave himself: The Doctor.

"The Doctor?" her gran questioned, "You mean the one who promised me a game of Twister?"

He smiled, "That's the one."

He then talk her hand in his as she replied, "Patricia." The Doctor managed to somehow explain regeneration to her - she soon believed it once he made his hand glow with energy. Clara's gran looked between the two children.
