Epilogue

Even though Amy and Rory had stopped travelling much now, The Doctor and Rose made a pact to visit them at least every Christmas. They didn't pick up new long-term companions anymore, because they had each other anyway as well as many friends that lived on earth. Rose found it weird not to really consider herself a citizen of Earth anymore, as she was technically dead, but still- apart from the TARDIS- earth would always be her home.

It was the rarity of snow that Christmas, and the air was chilly- but Rose didn't really feel it that much, she walked/waddled along the pavement next to The Doctor, who was pushing the pram holding their 3 year old daughter Erin – she had Gallifreyan name as well, but only Rose and The Doctor knew it. Rose could hardly ever push the pram much anymore- because she was eight months gone with her and The Doctor's second child. She didn't know the gender, because she wanted it to be a surprise- no matter how impatient The Doctor was.

She had a feeling that the TARDIS knew, but she wouldn't let on to either of them. Rose hoped it was a boy, for The Doctor's sake. Someone to run around the TARDIS and do boy-ish spacey TARDIS timelord things, sure Erin would be doing all tha soon, but eventually she would be out in space breaking hearts and The Doctor would definitely need a distraction from that, so a boy would be nice- but she knew that she would be pleasantly surprised either way.

When Rose had found out that she was pregnant with Erin, both her and The Doctor's initial reaction was shock. The Doctor didn't think that he was 'compatible' with humans in that way, but it had seemed he was wrong, and he got ued to thinking of himself in the father role soon. He vowed to look after any and all children he and Rose had in the near or very distant future- because he had messed up with his own children so much, and all he had had when he came to earth was his granddaughter Susan, who had left him in the end.

Erin was, by definition the 'perfect' looking child in a way. She was a mixture of Rose and most of The Doctor's regenerations, and The Doctor's timelord DNA and Rose's slightly different DNA had worked together to cherry-pick the best parts from all of his regenerations. She had blonde hair that was a mix of a similar shade to that of his fifth regeneration, and Rose's natural dark blonde hair colour- that mixed together to make almost a golden effect on the locks that came past her shoulders. She had big eyes like her mother, which were an icy blue colour like The Doctor's ninth regeneration, but with flecks of gold in them that the doctor could only assume was something to do with Bad Wolf or the time vortex running through her. She had been fortold in many prophecies before Rose knew she was pregnant, that The Doctor and Rose had heard- where she was referred to as things like "the time child, the child of the vortex, the child with time in her veins" and lots of other valiant, majestic-type nicknames that didn't really sum up the boisterous, and a little bit crazy yet seriously smart three year old that ran around the TARDIS like she was flying. But The Doctor and Rose didn't mind, they loved her especially because of that.

They came to a stop outside Amy and Rory's house, and The Doctor knocked on their TARDIS blue door. He always knocked, even though Amy had reminded him countless times that they had a fully-functioning doorbell, but at least it let them know it was him. Amy opened the door and beamed, giving them both a hug and a kiss on the cheek, little Melody Pond came from round the corner, she was five years old.

Melody had strawberry blonde hair reaching her shoulders, and a few light freckles around her nose which really brought out her hazel-coloured eyes. The Doctor had always thought that she reminded him of Amy when she was a child. She was quite mischievous and cheeky, and always teased The Doctor about his bowtie when he would come round, which made Rose laugh.

"Rory, they're here!" Amy shouted as she ushered Rose and The Doctor in from the cold, beaming and closing the front door. Rory quickly came down the stairs holding their new baby Bradley in his arms. At a quick glance the doctor guessed that Bradley was around four or five months old.

"Bloody hell Rose, how far gone are you?" Rory asked as he greeted The Doctor, Rose and Erin.

"Eugh, about eight months, and they've been the longest bloody eight months of my life! I feel like I've swallowed a planet!" Rose said, taking her coat off and handing it to The Doctor.

"Now you know how I felt all that time on the TARDIS when I was pregnant, and The Doctor kept saying I looked like I swallowed a planet!" Amy said with a laugh

"Oh yeah he hasn't stopped reminding me," Rose teased

"Oi, I do it out of love," said The Doctor with a wink. And they all laughed, because they were all happy.

They sat down together, and ate Christmas dinner and exchanged presents, and Erin talked about the new knowledge she had of quantum physics that Amy and Rory pretended to understand, and Bradley giggled and The Doctor and Melody battled over who was cooler and Rose and Amy took the mick out of The Doctor and Rory nearly burnt the turkey, and by the time that they had eaten and they were so full that they couldn't eat anymore, they all sat in the living room in front of the telly, watching the same Christmas special rubbish and The Doctor just smiled.

He reflected on the past five or six years, since he had gotten his Rose back, and looked over at her now- glowing with pregnancy, and trying to explain the characters on Eastenders to their daughter and he had never felt his hearts warm more in his life. And then he looked over at the Ponds and smiled even brighter as he watched Rory joking around with Melody, and Amy rocking baby Bradley in her arms and he realised that these were at least one set of companions that he hadn't ruined. They had left, as they should- but they would never really leave because he would always come back to his ponds. Him and Rose would follow their promise and visit at least every Christmas, even after Amy ad Rory had died- they would visit melody and Bradley, and their children and on and on because they felt like they had the responsibility.

Five years later and they had all come so far.

Ok so yeah I just really wanted an epilogue for some closure on this story about their lives after but idk, I suddenly have loads of ideas that I could have for this little family of Doctor, Rose, Erin and Baby and even some for the Ponds like idk maybe a sequel is on the cards….

Let me know what you think, through reviews and that because I love reviews and I love you and let me know what you think about the sequel.
