When We Travel Book 2 | Whouffaldi

Chapter 34 : Jealousy Hits

The Doctor left Bill, Nardole and Clara in the TARDIS as he exited to see where the old time machine had taken them, "Let me just make sure the old girl hasn't taken us somewhere dangerous." he explained.

Nardole sighed, "Leaving me with two humans... Great."

Clara groaned, "I have been called a human by you for a while now. And I give you the same answer every tim-"

"Yeah yeah, you're half human." Nardole replied, "You're still completely human in my book."

Bill looked at Clara, "How long left?" she asked.

Clara sighed, "Just under two months." she said with a small smile.

"Just under two months?" Nardole questioned, "For what?"

Bill and Clara both looked at him before Clara spoke, "What do you think?" she sat down in one of the seats around the console room, "You know... I sometimes forget how tiring it is to carry a Time Lord."

"Clara?" Bill asked after some time, Clara looked up in response, "Is everything okay between you and the Doctor? I mean... You two don't seem to be getting along well anymore."

Clara responded, "Well we-" she was cut off by the TARDIS doors slamming open.

"Okay!" the Doctor announced, "Bill with me. You two stay here."

"Why do I have to stay here?" Nardole complained.

"And why me?" Clara asked.

"Well, Nardole, I need someone to check on the engine under the console and Clara... I erm- well-" Clara soon realised that there was something or someone out there that the Doctor did not want her to see.

Clara groaned, "Just tell me what's out there, Doctor."

"Hey, mum!" Oswin announced as she appeared from behind the Doctor, "Just doing a little bit of travelling! Orion is in Grey."

"Oswin?!" her mother exclaimed, "You're supposed to be at home with Jack! He's babysitting you!"

"Mum, we really don't need a babysitter! Even though we aren't seventeen, we have the brains of a seventeen year old. We're mature enough." she paused, "And besides... We have adult supervision if that makes you feel better."

"Adult supervision?" the Doctor asked, "Who could possibly be with you?"

Clara's eyes widened as she saw a certain someone walk into the TARDIS, "Leopold!" she exclaimed before quickly making her way over to him, she wrapped her arms around him, "Oh my stars, I've not seen you in so long."

Leopold had gone off with Oswin and Orion. Nardole had agreed to stay in the TARDIS and Clara hadn't agreed. The Doctor still wanted her to stay in the TARDIS through the fear of the safety of her and their unborn child.

"Why would you name your box in English?" Bill began, "Those initials wouldn't work in any other language!"

"People don't usually bring that up." the Doctor replied.

Clara bit her lip, "She does have a point though."

"I'm not the one who named it!" he protested.

With folded arms, Clara asked, "Who did then?"

He answered almost instantly, "My granddaught-" he was cut off by the sudden sound of running water behind him. The 'water monster' was currently seeping from the mirror.

"Granddaughter?!" Clara exclaimed as they ran back towards the TARDIS. He managed to quickly pick Clara up bridal style, despite her protests.

"Now is really not the time, Clara!" the Doctor said back as they picked up the pace, he alerted people of a 'Shark Attack' to get them to leave the area as quickly as possible.
