...
The Doctor sprinted into the console room to find Donna and Jackie staring fearfully around.
"What's wrong, what is it?" said the Doctor clutching at Donna's shoulders.
She blinked and shook herself, before pointing at the doors. "I dunno' there was this noise...from outside...like a-"
But she was cut off as the trio were thrown off their feet and landed on the metal grating below.
"What the eck?" yelled Jackie, her eyes wide. She stared at the Doctor. "What are you doin'?"
"It's not me!" said the Doctor indignantly, getting to his feet once the shaking had subsided. "It must be something outside!"
Donna gazed up at him, chewing on her lip. "Shall we av' a look?"
The Doctor nodded, running to the doors, before tugging them open with a flourish.
But what he saw made him tense up with fear...
...
Rose stared up at the planets that lined the sky above them.
"What the hell...w-where are we?" she uttered.
"Like I said," muttered Abe gruffly. "London, Earth, Universe 2."
Rose shook her head. She could not believe what was happening.
"Right we need to find the Doctor," said Jenny firmly. "Mum, can you call him?"
"Yeah okay," said Rose, fumbling around in her pocket until her hand met with her phone.
She found the number for the TARDIS phone and dialled.
But the number rang dead.
"I-Its not working," she said, turning to the others.
She handed the phone to Jenny who sighed and tossed it to Lee. "Can you boost the signal?" she asked him.
Lee nodded and reached into his pocket and pulled out an attachment. "I-I-I can give it a g-g-go," he stuttered with a smile.
But Rose frowned and snatched the mobile device back from him. "It's got universal roaming," she said curtly. "It can call any number anywhere in the universe."
"So why isn't it calling the Doctor then?" said Abe snappily.
Rose scowled at the young boy. "I dunno do I?"
Jenny stepped between the pair. "Alright, alright," she same soothingly. "Mum, is there anyone else who can help us find the Doctor? Anyone you can think of at all?"
Rose's eyes suddenly lit up. "Yeah there is?" she said with a grin, pointing to the brass button still in Jenny's hand. "Can that thing take us to Cardiff by any chance?"
...
"So where are we going again?" shouted Donna clinging to the TARDIS console as the machine moved into flight.
"To see the Shadow Proclamation, they're a sort of intergalactic police," said the Doctor reaching over and flicking a dial.
"Police?" screamed Jackie. "What the 'ell are they gonna' do about the Earth goin' missin'?"
The Doctor rolled his eyes as the TARDIS landed. "Jackie just...shhhhhhhhhh, alright?" he said pointing a finger at her.
Jackie shook her head and followed the Doctor and Donna out of the doors.
She was going to an alien planet...well a police station...and she did not like the idea of it one little bit.
She stepped outside the doors and gaped at the sight that met her eyes.
"Rhinos!" she yelled. "They're bloody Rhinos!"
The Doctor quickly covered her mouth with his hand, giving the Judoon an apologetic smile as he did so.
Judoon, with guns plus Jackie Tyler...oh this was not good...
...
Captain Jack Harkness stared in horror at the sight before him.
Gwen looked on frantically, as Ianto busied himself with making coffee, desperately trying to take his mind off what was happening.
"Just breathe Martha, this is all going to be okay," said Gwen soothingly to the heavily pregnant woman.
"No its not! I'm having a baby!" shouted Martha Jones her teeth gritted. "Where the hell is Mickey?"
Jack gulped. Mickey was busy in New York working on something for UNIT. And now with planets in the sky, Jack knew that he would never get back to Cardiff in time.
They were in trouble.
Big trouble.
"Jack!" yelled Ianto from across the room. "We have a signal."
Jack ran over, to the screen that Ianto was staring at intently. "What kind of a signal?"
"I don't know," said the suited-man shaking his head. "It looks like some sort of human life-form is trying to teleport into the Torchwood base.
"Well let them through!" shouted Jack slamming his fist down onto the desk. "We need all the help we can get right now.
"Allowing teleport now sir," said Ianto pressing a button.
Jack suddenly swung around as four figures appeared in the centre of the room.
"Rose!" shouted Martha, trying to lift herself up off the medical trolley at the sight of her friend, but failing miserably.
Rose swayed on the spot a little, clutching her head before staring up at Martha and the rest of the Torchwood team.
"Martha..." she cried, her eyes widening. "You're...you're..."
"Having a baby, yeah," said Martha clutching at her swollen belly, "like right now."
Rose stepped back a little shocked and turned to see Jack jogging towards her.
"Rosie! What the hell are you doing here?" he said a worried look on his face. "Where's the Doctor?"
Rose bit her lip. "I-I left...and now I realise I shouldn't have...and now...I-I need him back Jack, I just need to find him. We need to find him."
Jack looked up and over Rose's head to see the figures that she had arrived with.
"Is that...Jenny?" he said his eyes widening.
Jenny flashed the immortal man a grin, before introducing the two men at her side.
"Hey,Jack. This is Lee McAvoy, the best tech man in our department," she said gesturing to the tall, curly haired man. "And this is Abe, he's my..."
"ARGH!" cried Martha from across the room, cutting Jenny off mid-sentence, and clutching her stomach.
Rose ran to her friend and crouched before her. "Where's Mickey?" she said glancing back at Jack.
"No time to explain," said Jack, suddenly turning to a screen on which an incoming transmission was playing.
Both Rose, Martha and Jack's eyes widened as the heard it.
"EXTERMINATE."
"EXTERMINATE."
...
Donna sat upon the Perspex stairs as a furious drum-beat pounded through her head.
"Donna, are you alright?" asked Jackie placing a hand on the red-head's shoulder.
Donna shook herself and glanced up. "Um yeah I'm fine."
Jackie shrugged and sauntered off, over towards the Doctor.
She did not like this place.
It was far too...alien for her liking.
She chanced a glance over at the alien rhinos...Jedoo's or whatever the Doctor had called them.
They gave her the creeps.
She didn't know how Rose or Donna did it.
Travelling to all these alien planets.
The Doctor was stood staring pensively at the screen before him, his chin resting upon his elbow.
"Doctor," she asked, sidling up to him. "Have you found the Earth yet? What about Rose? What about my daughter?"
But Jackie was cut off as a dark look passed suddenly across the Doctor's face.
"I know Jackie, I'm doing everything I can...I want her back as much as you do," he said through gritted teeth.
Jackie backed off, suddenly feeling sorry for him.
She had seen how much he cared for Rose.
The amount of times he had risked his life for her...
Slowly she reached her hand out and grasped his arm, squeezing it gently.
The Doctor glanced up at her a little shocked before gulping and giving her a weak smile.
"You've looked after her Doctor and if she trusts you then so do I," said Jackie with a nod. "You just get the Earth back yeah?"
The Doctor nodded before flashing her a grin.
"Right then!" he yelled running around to the second screen on the wall to his left. "Both of you, has there been anything odd lately on Earth during your time...electrical storm, freak weather anything like that?"
Donna's head snapped up and she wiped here eyes. "I dunno'," she mumbled.
"What about you Jackie? You think of anything?" asked the Doctor scratching the back of his head.
The blonde woman shrugged, stuffing her hands into the pockets of her denim jacket. "Dunno...I mean there was the bees' dissapearin'..."
"The bees disappearing?" repeated the Doctor. "Of course! The bees disappearing! Jackie you're a genius!"
Jackie smiled. "Of course I am," she said. "This aint' just a pretty face y'know."
...
I hope you all remembered that Martha was pregnant...even my memory was a little fuzzy for a while...I wrote it in during the first half of the Sontaren episodes...if you remember that far back...
I will try and update as soon as possible.
Please review!
