The Doctor and Marie Antoinette ran into the TARDIS and they both slam the doors shut. They glanced at each other and smiled as they hear deep barking and scratching on the exterior. Victoria sighed with a smile "You will love this place, Marie, there are cute dogs everywhere running free, of course we land in the middle of a pack of vicious mutts" She mocked The mad man then The Doctor took a deep breath "Pit bulls, actually, dont think they are around in your time Mrs. Antoinette" She huffed sarcastically "who am I Mrs. To? You or the king?" she smiled then kissed him and he was still for a moment before putting his hand on her shoulder. Afew loud knocks sounded from the other side of the door so they stopped. The Doctor smiled as he answered the door to see Raider outside with the dogs now gone. Raider's expression was slightly panicked as she pushed past the Doctor, her fingers twisting the ring that rested on her left hand. She was dressed in her usual attire though she now wore a loose fitting red t-shirt. Raider opens her mouth to say something but she stops short when she catches sight of Marie. She raises an eyebrow, her cocky and sarcastic aura rising up. "Marie Antoinette?" The Doctor rolls his eyes "Yes" he looked between the confused queen and the panicked timelady "Marie this is Raider, Raider...oh you already know" he looked concerned at Raider "What's wrong, is everything ok?" Marie walked toward the console, watching then curiously. Raider stubbornly crosses her arms over her chest. "You know I hate it when you call me Raider. Its just a name I use for Earth." Her brown eyes flicker between the two people before her. "I'm pregnant." Both pair of eyes went wide Marie slapped The Doctor hard on the cheek "Blimey, its not like you haven't had a similar problem" he mumbled as she stomped to a chair and sat. The looked at Raider and instead of excitement he looked saddened by the news "Are you sure? How far are you?where are you in the timeline?" He lusted off his just a few if his a million questionsRaider tilted her head as Marie slaps the Doctor but she pushes her questions away for the moment. She didn't even notice his sadness as she answered his questions. "Yes, I'm very sure. I wouldn't have said anything if I wasn't. You can check me with the TARDIS if you'd like. I'm 2 months along. And the last time I saw you was a month ago when you took me to Rome."He went to the console and started to take off "Oh, that is 2 weeks ago for me" he looked at Marie "I'm taking you home, sorry, might cone back later" Marie stood proudly in her pre french revolution garb. When the tardis landed she looked sadly at the doctor before heading out and closing the door behind her. The Doctor looked at Raider and smiled "th-thats great" he liedRaider was silent as the Doctor took Marie back to her own time. When the woman leaves, she turns towards her husband, her expression hardening as she heard the lie in his voice. "I didn't really expect you to be all that excited but wow....You don't want this baby." Anger flashes through her eyes and she unconsciously puts a hand over her stomach. "Why?"He sighed as he turned away "because girst that baby has one of the biggest targets painted on its back in the universe, a child to use as leverage. Second is that child is going to die, you know this, I will get too close abd it will die, like it always does. So yeah its not that I dont want a kid it's just I'm afraid of what will happen" he turned back to them "ive already had children of mine get killed. I guess there is no point in telling you this since its to little to late but..." he ran a hand threw his thick black hairRaider's jaw worked as she listened to the Doctor. "Its not like I'm just gonna go and get rid of the bloody thing! That means it just ends up dying anyway. " She stood tensely in her spot for a couple seconds before speaking again. "What fi you want me to do? What are WE going to do?"He went to the console "I dont know, find someone who can protect it, like a babysitter" he set off again and spun aroubd the cobsole before landing with a thump "Jack and Torchwood is out there, best place to start, go rught out I need to see if I can find something I have for the baby, it shouldn't take long" ge started runnaging threw a bin next to the consoleRaider frowned, the Doctor was being unbelievably confusing. She just shrugs and leans against console. The screen beside beeps and she looks at and it shows skeletal structure with a green circle around her stomach area, along with the word 'Positive'. Raider scowls and hits the screen away. "I know, you don't need to tell me." "I just scanned to see if I could get a gender. He looked up and at the screen then at Raider "the reason were at Torchwood is I wanted to find some people who could protect you and it, at the very least when you give birth. So I went to Torchwood 5 to see if they could help, but I am trying to find something I made awhile back so I told you go on ahead of me" he looked at her again "Understand now?" He asked with actual kindness in his voice about the subject finally.
The Child (p)
-
-
Raider shakes her head, her brown eyes holding a look of suspicion. "How do I know that the moment I step out of this TARDIS you won't fly away? You may be my husband but there are a few things I still can't fully understand about you."
-
The tardis then started to take off agaon, but raider wasnt coming with him. She saw the tardis bluring away, the doctor not even looking at her. Then it was gone and jack was there "im sorry, he told me" jack sighed
-
The Murderer looked around in disbelief as the TARDIS slowly starts to fade around her, she knew what the Doctor was doing. He was leaving her behind and he didn't even look at her as he did so. Betrayal flashed through her, mostly centered around her hearts doubling the pain it caused. "DOCTOR, YOU COWARD! YOU JUST CAN'T RUN AWAY FROM YOUR PROBLEMS YOUR WHOLE LIFE!" She probably would've shouted more but he was gone and that only left Jack Harkness, her secret lover. Anger is quickly replaced by a devastating sadness, causing her to fall her knees as tears silently made their way down her cheeks. She states off into the distance, her features worryingly blank as she absently twisted the ring that rested on her left hand. Then, suddenly, she rips the golden band off and chucks it as far as she can before burying her face in her hands as sobs wracked her body.
-
The Doctor had tears in his eyes as he landed far away he started to cry openly "I cant lose another one, not again" he mumbled "I'm so, so sorry" he wispered then sobbed as he sat in a chair
Jack kneeled down next to see and put a hand on her shoulder "trust me, I know how this feels, but except a kid he left me with immortality"
-
Raider's eyes seem to dry up the moment Jack's hand touched her shoulder. As she looked up at her lover, the only evidence of her crying fit were quickly drying tear tracks and flushed cheeks. "What does he expect me to do? Just sit around and do nothing for the next nine months till I have this bloody baby? Then what? I've never had a child before, he has, I don't know what to do." She looks down at her stomach, gently putting a shaky hand over it. "I'm scared."
-
Jack held her cheek "it will be ok, I've done this before both in youre position and the one Im in currently" he smiled that signature smile "Besides, we can find him, he cant stop saving earth for 9 months"
-
Raider laughed a humorless laugh. "I'm pretty sure he will find a way. Like, send Constella to do it for him...a nicer regeneration of her, anyway. I hear the most current version of her isn't very nice at all. Bountyhunter and everything." She looks up into Jack's blue eyes. "Where are we, Cardiff? I can never keep track of where your Torchwood headquarters are."
-
He nodded "yep Cardiff, Nova has alot of connections though. We use her if we lose track of a alien" he shrugged "she might not be nice but shes also not a gullible little girl anymore"
-
Raider suddenly sees a flash of a small toddler with deep black hair standing on shaky legs as she slowly made her way over to her own outstretched hands. Even then as a baby, the girl had a strange determined mindset about her. All the while she was learning to walk, she refused her older sister's help, glaring at her with fiery eyes until she backed off. The memory makes her smile, though it quickly disappears as she got a flash of the older version of the chubby face of the previous memory. This time she stood behind bars, calling out to her adopted as the Master dragged the Murderer from the room. Raider pushes herself to her feet. "We can look for Constella later, I just need to rest. Plus, I want to meet your Torchwood agents, you've told me so much about them."
-
"Oh of course!" He laughed and grabbed her hand "I'll show you around" he said ceriomoniously before walking with her
(Timeskop? -
~TWO MONTHS LATER~
At the end of it all, Raider ended up on a sofa surrounded by pizza boxes, which Jack more or less promised to clean up. She was picking at her nails, her legs crossed as she studiedly ignoring the Torchwood personnel who whispered to each other behind their hands and none too subtly stared at her. Some of them were bothered by the fact that she was alien, a dangerous alien, who looked just like them. How could they tell who was human or not? Raider rolls her eyes as someone asks that to their whisper partner. The only one who refused to take part of her colleague's conversations was a woman who was named Gwen Cooper, though she did stared but it was less of a frightened stare everyone else was giving her but more of a curious one. She shifts her position on the sofa and she sees several of the humans jump or absently reach for their gun that hung at their waist. The Murderer smiles. They all knew her title and absolutely refused to call her anything but it. But they all also knew that she is pregnant, with the Doctor's(who Jack has said so much positive things about him that they all love the guy in someway)baby and that's probably the only thing that kept them from killing her in her sleep...on one of the rare occurrences that she actually slept. So far, Raider's theory is the one becoming true, there has been absolutely no sightings of the Doctor but there has been plenty of Nova, who always disappears before they make their way to her. She is also back to wearing her kinda-tight fitting red tank-top and her pregnancy is definitely showing at the now 4 month mark. -
Jack smiled at Gwen then Nova appeared in the center of them all, wearing black leather more suited for her sister with a golden crop tee under it. She rested one of her army booted feet on the table and smiled "well, hello again" most of torchwood aims at her, all but Jack actually. She puts her hands up "I'd watch it, doctors granddaughter" they lowered their guns and she bowed "thank you much"
-
Raider just sat with her arms crossed as Nova appeared into the room, an eyebrow raised at the sight of the leather she wore. "Am I gonna have to call dad and tell him that you're copying me again?" Some of the Torchwood agents glanced at her like she was crazy but she paid them no mind as she managed to stand without help. Doing certain things have become increasingly more difficult the farther along in her pregnancy. "Constella, first of all, what the hell are you wearing? A golden crop tee? Also, you're a bountyhunter now?"
-
Nova smiled "at least my rebel phase doesn't incude a jacket with all the colors of the rainbow" she looked over Raider "and yes, I am a bounty hunter, I realized that I am very good at killing and or capturing. guess I'm all Dad wanted after all, a weapon"
-
Raider grimaced at the mention of the Doctor's sixth regeneration, the regeneration she had the honor of being introduced to first. She absently placed a hand over her stomach as she spoke. "What are you doing here? Besides the fact that you probably just heard that we were looking for you. Why cone to us and wait for us yo come to you, Constella?"
-
"Because I'm bored, and I always know where tge doctor is. A perk of having connections, but my base is the only place in the universe where I can bring you your tardis. One of my newest tricks" she shrugged and looked at raiders belly "think you could take the teleport?"
-
Raider's eyes widened at the mention of her TARDIS. "You can get my TARDIS?" She could hear some of the agents shift uneasily behind her as she stepped closer to her adoptive sister. None of them really liked the idea of the Murderer having the ability to travel through time and space to do whatever she felt like. "The Doctor locked him down after my last....misadventure, he even put him somewhere i couldn't find it. Though, I know my TARDIS is on Earth somewhere." She looks down at her stomach as Nova motioned towards it. "Ya, I--we should be able to take it."
-
Nova then smiled sweetly and grabbed her arm tightly "Andiamo" Then her eyes glowed then there was a spiral of memories, this was nova mind really, a tangled mess of memories and power. It ended shortly and they found themselves in the same mansion the master took over to create the master race. They were currently in the center of the room where the timelord return, the glass above still broke for when the doctor crashed through "This place was abandoned after the former owners were jailed for corruption, so I faked a bill, and now this is mine" she spun around. The place looked a little different, red banners were hung around showing a golden eye. There was a big leather chair where the machine that created the master race was. Also there were soldiers all around, donning the golden eye on their amour "A bit more professional than I usually am I know" Nova smirked as the men all bow to her
-
Raider generally just seemed unfazed when they appeared in the mansion, surprise only flickering in her brown eyes for a second before going blank once again. "Everything about you in the regeneration is different in one way or another so I'm not all that shocked." The only reaction she had any of the things in the room is when she caught sight of the guard closest to them, his gun drawn and knives clear on his belt, seeing him caused her to automatically cradle her belly. "You know, I actually got used to the fact that I'm going to be a mother pretty quickly. This means your gonna have a niece." Raider playfully pokes Nova on her side, not noticing how she specifically said niece. "Or an aunt. The baby's relation with you is kinda confusing, all depending on how you want to look at it."
