Doctor Who Oneshots

Please Don't (10th Doctor)

Warning: Death

So this is pure angst- oops? It's another one from my drafts, I'm going to be sorting through them and getting them out and published over the next few days! :)

Enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You ran as fast as you could, your hand tightening around the hand gripping yours. Your heart was pounding hard and you were starting to have a cramp in your side. The owner of the hand you had a death grip on was the only person helping you run and the only reason you weren't doubled over gasping for breath.

"Doctor, I can't! I can't keep running!" You gasped out as you tugged your hand from his, stopping and resting your hands on your knees. "I'm sorry, just go without me."

He immediately took one of your hands in his, a very serious look in his eyes. "(Y/N), if you don't run, they're going to catch you and then kill you. I can't let that happen. You have to keep running, we're almost there. Please."

The cramp in your side was getting worse as you shook your head, your hand running through your hair. "I literally can't. My side - it hurts so bad..." You teared up a little as you looked up at him. "If you stay here with me, you'll die too. Just go to the TARDIS."

You gasped as you heard the voices of the creatures you hate most. "Exterminate the Doctor and his associate!" You could see the gears turning in the Doctor's head as he tried to think of a way to get the both of you out of here. Your hand rested on your heavily pregnant belly as you tried to comfort yourself and your little one.

"I'm getting us all out of here. We're meant to be a family - the three of us." The Doctor had tears in his eyes as he looked down at you. You could tell some sort of idea popped into his head and he smiled at you. "We're a family, (Y/N)! Who's going to pick you up when you can't keep going?" He asked, reciting your vows when you married him.

He suddenly picked you up bridal style and began running to the TARDIS. He was a bit slower than usual considering he is holding his very pregnant wife, but he's going a lot faster than you expected he would have. You smile as you see the TARDIS off in the distance and kiss the Doctor's cheek. Almost there, just a few more yards!

He places you down as you get to the TARDIS and pats his pockets as he looks for his key. "Has to be here somewhere...!" You frown and start helping him check his pockets and then check your own for your key.

"Can't you just snap?" You asked as you began to panic. He shook his head and you rolled your eyes. "You changed the settings didn't you?"

"I don't want anyone breaking into my-" He is suddenly cut off with a scream of pain and you gasp as you could see his skeleton for just a split moment. You scream in terror as his eyes shut and he drops down to the ground. You get down beside him and check for a pulse, tears already beginning to stain your cheeks.

You let out a loud sob as you realize he doesn't have a pulse. He's dead. You turn your head and see the Daleks responsible for the murder of your husband and use the TARDIS as support to help you stand up. Once you were back on your feet, you let your rage burn and grabbed the closest thing to a weapon that you could - a plank of wood.

"How dare you kill my husband?" You grit your teeth as you start swinging the plank of wood wildly, hitting the Daleks over and over. You didn't understand why they weren't killing you, but you weren't thinking about that. All you could think about was the scream that the Doctor let out as he was shot.

You slammed the plank down as hard as you could on the eye stalk and the wood broke in half. So now you were standing between the two Daleks defenseless. "Why aren't you killing me? I'm attacking you, I'm the Doctor's wife! You don't think I'll destroy you for killing him? You don't think I'll find a way to bring him back? You've got another thing coming." The Daleks were on either side of you and you watched as they both turned their lasers toward you. "Go ahead, exterminate me!"

"Exterminate!" You grinned as you dodged both of their shots, making them shoot each other instead. They went up in flames and you ran - or waddled - back to the Doctor, getting down on your knees and pulling his head up into your lap.

You ran your fingers through his hair as you spoke quietly so no one could hear you. "You idiot... You knew that none of the life forms on this ship had fingers so why did you stop the snap command? Daleks don't snap, you idiot. You promised me you would stay with me! With me and our child..." you grab his hand and place it on your stomach. "I dont understand... why did this have to happen? All you would have had to do was-" you snap and gasp as you hear a creaking from beside you.

You look over and let out a sob. He was wrong. It still worked. He could have still been alive... you scream in pain and frustration, clutching your chest as you felt a hole rip in your chest where your heart was.

You take a few deep breaths to try to calm yourself down and look back down at your husband. You grab him by his arms and drag him into the TARDIS before gently placing him down and shutting the doors.

You get back down on the ground next to the Doctor and take his hand in yours. You needed him to come back to you but you knew he couldnt. You sob quietly as you rest your head on his chest, your ear pressed against where one of his hearts would have been beating.

You just stayed there, your head on his chest while you cradle your heavily pregnant belly. "I love you so much... please come back..." you whisper, crying into your husband's chest. "We need you. More than anything."

But you knew he wouldn't come back. There was nothing that could save him. And so you stayed with the Doctor, stuck on this spaceship filled with Daleks. Completely stranded. And alone.

That was a short one 🥹 And I didn't know how else to end it, whoops.
