I walk out of the Tardis, a bag on my shoulder and the Doctor's hand in mine. We walk to the Powell Estate with a spring in our step.
I call out as we approach the front door of the Tyler's flat, "Rose, mom! We're back!"
I open the door to the flat, and the two are rushing toward us.
"Oh, you're here!" Jackie squeals.
I let go of the Doctor's hand and embrace the two women.
"I missed you girls so much!"
We part and Jackie notices the Doctor trying to slide past.
"Oh no, you don't. Come here!" Jackie pulls him toward her and plants one on him, despite his protests, "Oh, you lovely big fella! Oh, you're all mine!" She hugs him tightly, "Yes, you are!" She kisses him again and walks off, leaving the Doctor to wipe his mouth with the back of his hand.
I giggle at his reaction, moving past him to go into the sitting room.
I pull out gift boxes from the bag on my shoulder and hand them to my best friend and surrogate mother.
"Ooh!" Jackie opens it and finds a Chanel purse in her favorite color.
"No way!" Rose has a Chanel dress in pale pink.
"You got us Chanel?" They ask.
"Yeah, you two are my family, you deserve something nice for yourselves." I smile.
Jackie smiles, a little dimly.
"What's wrong?" "Your mum is staying at the hotel down the street."
My heart drops into my stomach, "What?"
"Your mum sent a letter without a name, and since you set this as your most recent address, I thought it was for me. She said she was coming to visit you and your gran and expected you to be doing something productive with your life. Only thing is, she showed up here and I had to explain that you were out traveling. Then she told me that she'd be staying until her visa runs out, and gave me the number of the hotel room, insisting I call the moment you come back." She explains sheepishly.
"You haven't called yet have you?" I ask.
"No, I haven't got a chance to yet." "Good." I relax.
"Oh, guess who's coming to visit? You're just in time, he'll be here at ten past! Who do you think it is?"
"No clue."
"It's Rose's grandad. Grandad Prentice. He's on his way. Any minute!" I stare at her.
"Right, cup of tea!" Jackie disappears into the kitchen.
I look at Rose, "What the hell is she talking about?"
