Spoilers: Series 5 Episode 2: The Beast Below.

Pairing: a pinch of Doctor/OC

Summary: "So is this how it works Doctor? You never interfere with the affairs of other people or planets, unless there's children crying?"


Back on Earth, The Doctor wandered around while Amy was looking around the shops. While walking, he couldn't help but think of Rose. His beautiful Rose. Who was lost in the far reaches of another universe. Because he interfered with her life.

Then there was Donna, who can never remember anything to do with him, or she will die.

Never interfere with the affairs of others.

Unless it was a crying child. Like the one on the park bench.

She sat alone, her bag propped of her knee's, crying silently. Her light blonde hair hung over her shoulders, and her eyes were red and swollen. He didn't want to go there at first. But the way she looked, he just had to go.

"Hello there!" He said cheerfully to the blonde. She looked up, but said nothing. She looked back down. "Beautiful day, Innit?!"

"I guess." She mumbled. "You with the S.S?"

"The what?"

"Social Services. I'm supposed to be going to a new home tonight. My mum died when I was a baby, and I don't have a dad."

In the distance, Amy could see The Doctor talking to the girl. Inside she smiled. Only when children are crying.

The Doctor sat silently with the young girl. She just silently cried, and she put her head on his shoulder. He had not been this close to a teenager since Susan. His grand-daughter. Way back in the twentieth century. The 60's, as he remembered. She accidentally brought two of her school teachers with her, Ms. Barbara Wright and Mr. Ian Chesterton.

He remembered the day like it was moments ago. That was the downside to being a Timelord. You remember everything. The people you lose, and the people you leave.

The blonde quickly put up her head, as she saw the car that would be taking her to her new home. "Thank you for listening sir."

"It's the Doctor."

"Well Doctor, my name is Rose Smith."

Rose smiled slightly at him, and turned towards the car. But she turned back around, and kissed him on the cheek. She then ran off to the social worker. The doctor put his hand on his cheek and smiled.

"Oh hey." Amy said, skipping with a new pair of shoes. "Who was that?"

The Doctor just kept smiling, then turned to Amy.

"That was Rose Smith, a crying child."

The End

A/N: WOO. My first Doctor Who fic! Please don't go to hard on it. I tried staying in character as possible. Just so you all know, I love Matt Smith as the new Doctor. He is just brilliant!
