PARENTHOOD

Chapter One Hundred and Five

After Gaga was shown around the Doctor's house, she sat down while the Doctor went to get her a cup of tea and speak to Jack. While he was doing that, Namid and Sokanon sat down next to her and smiled at her. Gaga smiled in return.

"Did you enjoy the show before the Geordie attacked?" she asked.

"Yes, I had fun," Namid said while Sokanon nodded in agreement. "I like your songs, 'cept Daddy thinks some of the lyrics are a bit old for us."

"I agree actually. My lyrics are a bit adult but I came from a very adult world," she said as Alan came up beside her.

"I know about Geordie and you're not kidding," he said to her. "All those outfits you wear, a lot of that kit is normal wear there? I know women are second class citizens and sex objects."

"Yeah but on Earth, I'm using those outfits to empower myself and rebel against all that degrading mindset. That's why I love Earth. I love that a lot of Earth women are independent and free thinking and know what they want. They've helped me come to terms with my past and move on from that repression."

"And you're really a lady?" Alan said with a grin.

"Yeah but on Geordie that doesn't mean anything if you're a woman. You still get treated like crap. My family wanted a boy and they resented me. I don't miss them, that's for sure. No, I'm better off where I am."

"Except we have to find a way to get the Geordies off your back," the Doctor said as he came into the room and gave her a cup of tea.

While he was doing that, Jack opened the front door and walked in with Torchwood.

"Better get drinks ready cause here comes the neighborhood," Jack said, hooking his thumb back out the door.

The Doctor groaned.

"Everyone?" he said as Gaga gave him a confused look.

"Um, not so far, but the Estrogen Brigade is coming and Awinita is in the lead," he said as he leaned against the doorway.

"Oh boy, battle stations!" Alan said as he leapt up and ran to the door.

Jack chuckled when he ran out the door.

"No, please no autographs! Lady Gaga is knackered!" they heard him saying.

"Out of our way, weirdo!" they heard Awinita said.

Alan walked back inside.

"Sorry, mate, they twisted my arm, I couldn't stop em," he said, hooking his thumb back at the door. "But so far, it's only a small contingent and not the army we call our family."

Awinita peeked inside.

"Contrary to what Bro is saying, we're not gonna assault Lady Gaga, us women were having a hen party when we heard she was here and we wanted to meet her."

Nelak stuck her head in behind her.

"And believe me, they ran hell for leather over here to meet her," he said.

"And you got caught in the middle of this hen party?" Jack said to Nelak.

"With a bunch of gorgeous women, who's to complain?" Nelak said.

He and Awinita came inside followed by Emi, Tara, Tia, Angel, Elizabeth, Grace, Dorothy, Jenny, Amber, Madison and Donna.

"Yup, here's the Estrogen Brigade," Jack said, shutting the door.

"If you don't shut your gob, I'll emasculate you and you'll become one of the Estrogen Brigade," Donna said to him.

Jack coughed nervously, his hand fluttering to his crotch as he backed up. Gaga stood up as the women and Nelak walked towards her. The Doctor introduced them and they shook hands with her.

"Xashon's on her way over," Martha said to the Doctor. "We explained the situation as best we could."

"Good. But we still need to find a solution to all of this. We just can't let the Geordies menace Earth whenever they want. Lamarck has to be stopped."

Alan ran up to him.

"Ooo, does that mean we get to overthrow a dictatorship again?" he asked excitedly.

"Yes!" the Doctor said, mimicking his excitement.

Sokanon ran up to them.

"Yay!" she said, thrusting her arms into the air, "we get to overthrow a dictatorship."

The Doctor stared at her. He bent down and stared into her eyes while she giggled.

"Brother?" he said.

Alan bent down with him.

"Yeah?" he said.

"Am I going bonkers or does this one have delusions that she's going with us?" he said, staring into his giggling daughter's eyes.

"I think she's having delusions," Alan said.

"I wanna help," Sokanon said.

She giggled when they stared at her quietly.

"She wants to help, what do we do?" Alan whispered to the Doctor.

"I think we should put her to sleep and put her on the sofa while we leave quietly," the Doctor replied.

"I wanna help!" Sokanon insisted.

The Doctor sighed and gave her a "Surely, you're kidding," look.

"You know as well as I what the answer is, young lady," the Doctor said to her.

"I wanna help!" Sokanon said.

The Doctor scratched his chin and smiled.

"Stay here and keep Gaga company?" he said to her.

Sokanon looked back at Gaga. Gaga smiled and waved at her. Sokanon smiled and nodded.

"Good, thank you," the Doctor said, patting her on the head.

"We don't get to put her to sleep and put her in funny positions?" Alan said with a mournful look.

"Nope, we'll let her be...this time," the Doctor said. "As for the rest of you who are over the age of ten, you're welcome to come with us."

He looked over at the front door when he heard someone knocking.

"And that'll be Xashon, I'm betting," he said, heading towards it.
