CHAPTER 5:

"What?" Mysti stared at him, her mind flying a hundred miles a minute. Rory couldn't know...could he? No... it's not possible for him to figure it out so quickly... was it? If he figured it out, surely the Doctor and River could too, couldn't they? Mysti quickly shook herself out of her thoughts. "I mean... What are you talking about?"

"I know who you are. You're The Doctor and River's daughter, Jack's sister...my granddaughter." He looked at her as though she had been hiding behind a cloth sheet and had just removed it from her face. She looked down, ashamed that her secret had to be reveal like this, and her vision got blurry as tears threatened to break through the dam that was holding them back. She looked back up at Rory and saw that he was waiting for a response. She tried to speak, but realized that if she said anything, the tears would rain down on her face like a Gallifreyain storm. She settled for nodding instead.

"Why didn't you tell us when you showed up? Why are you hiding your identity from us? We're your family."

And then the dam burst. Tears flowed onto Mysti's face as she spoke, every word, just bring more until she was certain that she had no more tears to spare. "Because I haven't been born yet! I do not exist, and if I tell you guys before I am supposed to, I might not ever, or worse, One of you could die. If time isn't exactly the way it's supposed to be, i could lose one of you, and that is the last thing I want to happen!" By the time, she finished Rory had walked up to her and pulled her into a hug. They sat there for a few moments before Rory relesed her and held her out at arm's length.

"Don't worry. I'll keep your secret. Now how about that next house?" Mysti nodded, a silent and understood thank you passing between them, and dried off her tears.

"Right...let's go." She walked up the stairs to the next house and knocked. A young looking women answered. Mysti smiled both on the outside, and the inside. This was the house that they had been looking for. "Hello. My name is Julie Smith and this is my dad. My mum is about to have a baby, but we are a poor family, and we cannot keep him. We are looking for a family to take him in. A good, peaceful family. Would you be able to help us?" Mysti asked her.

"Hang on, please let me ask my husband." She turned and yelled into the house. "Franklin!" She turned back to Mysti and held out her hand so Mysti could shake it. "I'm Elizabeth by the way. I am so sorry that you have to do this, but I am sure we would be happy to take in your brother." Just then a young man appeared at the door.

"You called, honey?" Franklin said, addressing Elizabeth, and barely taking notice of Mysti and Rory. Elizabeth nodded.

"This is Julie Smith and her father. Mrs. Smith is about to give birth to their baby boy, but they cannot afford to keep him. They were wondering if we could take him in." Franklin looked kind of uncertain about it, but his face softened up when his wife's got a sort-of puppy dog look.

"I'm sure we'll be able to. We've always wanted to have kids." Elizabeth nodded. "That should be perfectly fine." Both Mysti and Rory grinned.

"Thank you so much! We'll bring the baby by later when he is healthy enough to move." Rory informed them.

"It's not a problem Mr. Smith. Now, you run along and be there for your wife while she's in labor. Take as much time as you need. Franklin, we're going shopping!" Rory and Mysti both thanked them once again, and left to find their way back to the TARDI to inform everyone of the news…well, everyone except Jack, that is. Once they finally reached their destination, Mysti went to go sit in the tenth Doctor's TARDIS with Jack and Rory made his way to the medical chambers in Eleven's TARDIS. When he entered them, he was met by an overenergetic Amy.

"Rory! Where have you been? It's been three days! The baby was finally born about five hours ago! Oh, he's so cute, Rory, wait until you meet him!" The Doctor came over to interrupt her.

"Yes, he is cute, but keep in mind, Amy, we can't keep him. No matter how adorably chubby he is, with rather large dimples when he smiles…We can't keep him! The Doctor looked incredibly saddened by this fact. But of course, if you were forced to give away your only son to a couple of strangers, just because some teenager from the future told you to, I'm prettty sure you would be sad too.

"What do you mean three days? It's been maybe half-an-hour." Rory said. The Doctor's eyes widened a bit, as if he was hoping that Rory would say that.

"Ah, yes. That would be the TARDIS. She speed up time in here, so that it wouldn't take forever for the baby to be born." He, more or less explained. Rory nodded, as though he understood what the Doctor was saying.

Just then, Mysti walked in, wearing YET ANOTHER new outfit. This time she was wearing a pair of skinny jean, tall black boots that looked like winter fashion boots, and a white and black zebra print shirt that had a large gold heart stamped onto the front. The leather jacket had made a return and her hair was now up in a pony-tail. She smiled at everyone. "How is everybody?" Everybody voiced their state of being and she smiled, as most were positive. "I don't mean to walk into everyone's family moment, but I thought I should tell you that Franklin and Elizabeth will be expecting Jack before tomorrow. Plus, we can't keep the older Jack sedated for long."

The Doctor sighed. "The thing is…who is going to drop off Baby Jack?" Everyone looked around at each other until Mysti spoke out.

"I will."
