Just a little drabble about the Doctor when he lands on the Pond's doorstep at Christmas. 2011 Christmas Special spoilers! Merry Christmas.

No one should be alone on Christmas, she said. How those words struck him. Deep in his mind he knew that he could never return to his home, Gallifrey. Destroyed. Abandoned.

Nothing that he wanted to see.

But one home that he hadn't destroyed yet. One person left free from his taint. Not completely, never completely, but free.

And as he knocked on that TARDIS blue door, that he had picked out, he knew what home was.

Where the heart is.

"Amy!"

And the Doctor knew that the only place he is ever home, is with his companions.

And a tear fell.

Humany oogly.

Happy tears.
