Looking Through the Stars

A Child's Play

((three years after being married, "Smith's" house.))

A brown haired toddler ran into the kitchen. His smile wide and laughter filled the house.

"You can't catch me." He yelled running around the kitchen island.

"Shhh, mummy's still sleeping. And you bet I can." The Doctor said reaching out and grabbing the child.

The Doctor took him to the couch and turned on his favorite show, Sherlock.

He crouched down and looked at him "What do you want for breakfast, Jack?"

"Toast!" Jack said with a goofy smile.

"Shhhhh."

"Okay.." Jack whispered, he soon turned back to the tv.

The Doctor stood up and walked back into the kitchen. He jumped in surprize of seeing Rose up this early.

"What?" she asked groggily

"You're never up this early, did we wake you?" The Doctor asked.

"No,no just a dream.." she said pouring a cup of coffee.

The Doctor rubbed her back "Well you won't have the tv for a while."

"Sherlock or Doctor Who?"

"Sherlock."

"Isn't that a little inappropriate?" Rose asked smiling

"Oi! It's informational....somewhat." The Doctor said.

"You sound just like Donna." Rose said walking into the living room.

The Doctor quickly made three plates of toast. Then went to sit with his small family. They watched the first three episodes of Sherlock until Jack decided to go play outside.

"You stay where I can see you!" Rose said.

Luckily the back and front walls were made of glass windows, so it was easy to see Jack play.

"When are we going to tell him?" Rose asked the Doctor.

"Not anytime soon, it will become fairy tales if we tell him now."

"Well he is quarter Timelord, he's bound to be clever and get into trouble." Rose said.

"Oi!"

"Is today the day to sound like Donna?" Rose said sarcastically

"That's it!" The Doctor said.

He began to tickle her, Rose kicked and punch playfully.

"I'll save you mummy!" Jack said running back inside. He jumped on the Doctor's back and tried pulling him back.

The Doctor stood up and started to spin in circles. "Who is this human on my back?" he said trying his best to mimic a Darlek voice.

"John Smith! The Doctor's companion!" Jack yelled.

Jack started to pretend to push buttons on his father's neck. "Disabling" him. The Doctor fell face first over the back of the couch.

"Extermi-" he mumbled.

Rose cheered Jack for "Killing" the Darlek.

"Can you tell me a story?" Jack asked sitting in Rose's lap.

The Doctor sat back down on the couch, out of breath from playing.

"What type?" Rose asked.

"The one with Sherlock and the Doctor!" Jack said excitedly.

"Okay, here we go. There was a man named Sherlock who lived in 221B with his best friend John. One day while they investigated one of their many mysteries, the phone rang. John looked at the number 'Sherlock!' he yelled looking around the house."

" 'Here' Sherlock said, coming back from outside. John handed him the phone 'The number's too long.' Sherlock grinned 'It's an old friend.' Sherlock answered the phone. 'Is this...Sherlock?' a girls voice said. 'Yes, is this the Doctor's newest companion?' he asked looking outside the window. 'Yes, he said to call you, saying that you would know what was happening.'"

"John walked around the house trying to put Sherlock's words together. 'Okay be there soon'. 'What's going on?' John asked. Sherlock walked away and down the stairs quickly, John looked out the window but Sherlock did not come out. He was sure he heard the front door close. He walked back downstairs, no one there. He decided to just wait inside, it was just one of the homeless probably. Only seconds later Sherlock came back in, out of breath and happy." Rose glanced down to she Jack sleeping then at the Doctor who was also asleep.

"Oh my boys" she kissed both their heads, "I love you."
