PARENTHOOD
Chapter One Hundred Eight "She wants Frazer to be her husband?" the Doctor asked. "Yes," Great King Oberon said, nodding his head. "But he's already married,' Jamie said. "It does not matter. To our sister, he is hers and she will marry him." "We'll see aboot that!" Jamie said when he turned around and the Doctor placed his hand on Jamie's shoulder. "Jamie," the Doctor said softly and Jamie sighed, nodding his head. The Doctor looked at Great King Oberon and Great Queen Titania and gently scratched the back of his neck. "Is there any way you can help us free him?" "There is one way, but we fear the cost may be too severe," Great King Oberon said then started telling the Doctor what they needed to do. "What do you mean that I'm yours?" Frazer asked while M'Yari smiled at him and stroked his hair. "It is simple really. I am claiming my price for the gift I gave your father," she said as he got off the bed and held his arm against his side. "Are you out of your bloody mind, eh? My biological father saved the life of one of your bloody pets!" he shouted and M'Yari smiled, twirling some of her hair on her finger. "No one asked him to." "Ah, so you would have preferred that it had died then?" he asked as she crawled across the bed and Frazer backed up, heading for the window. "Where are you going?" she asked as she got off the bed and he reached behind him, opening the French doors. "You wouldn't!" Frazer backed onto the balcony as he bumped into the railing and placed his hand on the top of the railing. "Aye, I would," he said when he climbed onto the railing and held his arm against his side. His legs felt rubbery as he balanced himself and M'Yari slowly walked closer. "Stay away from me!" "Fraz'let, please, I will not hurt you," she said while holding her arms out and he glared at her. "MY NAME IS FRAZER MICHAEL MCCRIMMON!" Frazer shouted when he lost his balance and fell off the railing. M'Yari screamed as she ran to the railing but didn't see Frazer lying broken in the courtyard and growled. Turning, she stormed into the room then slammed the French doors shut and the glass shattered. "Easy, Lad," Jamie said while Frazer's eyelids fluttered open and he looked up at Jamie. "Dad?" he asked softly and Jamie gently stroked his hair. "Aye, you gave us a real fright," Jamie said as Frazer smiled then remembered falling off the railing and sat up, hissing from the pain in his shoulder. "Bloody hell!" he moaned and Jamie helped him lie down. "Lay still, Young One," Great Queen Titania said softly as she knelt down next to the lounge that Frazer was lying on and he looked at her. "My Lady," he said with a nod of his head and she smiled at him. "Do you normally jump off railings?" she asked and he made a soft laugh, shaking his head. "No, nae normally," he said and Jamie rolled his eyes. "Her Highness was able tae nab you before you crashed tae ground," Jamie said and Frazer sighed, sticking his lower lip out. "Am I in trouble?" Frazer asked. "No," Jamie said with a grin and Great Queen Titania moved closer, brushing some hair from Frazer's eyes. "Hold still," she whispered as she moved her hands over his body and Jamie kept a watchful eye on her. "Do not worry. We will not harm him." "That's what she said," Frazer mumbled as Great Queen Titania nodded then softly placed her fingertips on his shoulder and he screamed. "Frazer!" Jamie shouted while Great Queen Titania moved her hands away and Jamie stroked Frazer's hair. "What did you do to him?" "We did nothing. His shoulder is dislocated," Great Queen Titania said and stroked the top of Frazer's hand. "Dad," Frazer said with his eyes closed and his chest rose in fell as he breathed hard through his nose. "How did you get here?" "The Doctor brought us here," Jamie said and Frazer half opened his eyes. "Us?" Frazer asked when he heard a familiar grinding and wheezing sound and smiled. The TARDIS materialized while Great Queen Titania stood and the doors opened. "Frazer!" Jenna shouted as she ran to the lounge and scooped Frazer into her arms, causing fresh waves of pain to roar up and down his arm. "BLOODLY HELL!" he shouted as she moved him back and tears rolled freely down his cheeks. "What happened to him?" Jenna asked as she rocked him and Frazer start to softly sob. "His shoulder's dislocated," Jamie said as Frazer nodded and Jenna kissed the top of Frazer's head. "Oh, Baby, Mommy's sorry," she said and Frazer groaned, closing his eyes. The Doctor came out of the TARDIS with a hover cart as Jenna slowly lifted Frazer off the lounge and slid him onto the hover cart. Frazer whimpered as she sent love and comfort into his mind and led the hover cart to the TARDIS, going inside. "We will wait for your call, Doctor," Great Queen Titania said as he nodded then the Doctor and Jamie turned, walking toward the TARDIS. Great Queen Titania watched while the TARDIS dematerialized then sat down on the lounge and balled her hands into fists. "You're touching my bad shoulder," Frazer grumbled while he opened his eyes and felt something lying on his chest. "Sorry," Angel whispered then kissed his shoulder and he smiled. She moved her hand down his chest while his hearts thumped in her ear and he took a deep breathing, slowly letting it out. "Are you made at me?" "For getting kidnapped, no. For jumping of the railing, yes," she said and he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. "I was trying tae get away from her." "You can't fly and we didn't bring Cameron with us." "Aye, but, and I dinnae want you tae be mad, I dinnae care." "Lift your head," she said as he lifted his head and she removed the chain around his neck then tossed the chain across the room. He winced a bit after she slapped the back of his head then laid his head on the pillow and she kissed his chest. "You are a great, big, stupid dunce!" "Aye, that's me," he said and she snuggled against him, placing her head on his chest. "I am serious, Pebbles, I jumped off that bloody railing because I'd rather die than spend my lives as her slave." "That's not what she wanted you for." "Then what did she want me for?" "She wanted you to be her husband," she said and his hearts sped up. "Her husband?" he asked and she nodded. "That's what the riddle was about. The Doctor told us that the first part is about you becoming a Time Lord..." "How did she know that I would become one?" "She can see the past, the present and the future." "Then what she did tae me? She did it on purpose?" he asked and she nodded. She listened to his hearts beating while he thought about what happened to his biological parents and balled his hand into a fist. "Blimey, in all my lives, I never thought I could hate anyone as much as I hate her!" "Shhh," she said and heard a throaty growl rumbling in his chest. "Right, she knew that I was going to go with the Doctor, get adopted and become a Time Lord. Do you think she knew I'd marry you?" "Yeah, I think she did." "What's the rest of it?" "She was going to take you, wipe your memory of your life with us, make you like her then you'd marry her," she said and his eye went wide. "That's bitch!" "Shhh, it's alright, Bamm-Bamm, she's not going to get away with this," she said as he sighed then closed his eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep. She felt his skin relaxing as his breathing became slow and steady and tears rolled down her cheeks. She wiped her eyes while he wrapped his arms around her and she closed her eyes, drifting off into a dreamless sleep. Sitting on the throne, M'Yari growled as she strummed her fingers on the throne when a loud grinding and wheezing sound filled the air and she stood up, watching the TARDIS materialized at the center of the throne room. The doors slammed open as she ran down the stairs when the Doctor walked outside then closed and locked the doors. "Where is my godson?" she demanded. "He's sleeping," the Doctor said and she growled. "Give him to me!" "No, I don't think so." "He isn't yours!" "Wrong," he said as he walked toward her and she saw that his eyes were jet black. "He's ours!" "GIVE HIM TO ME!" she shouted and he snorted, walked back to the doors and unlocked them. He half opened the door when he turned to her and leaned against the door. "Tell you what. We'll fight you for him," he said and she blinked. "What?" "You pick someone and one of us will fight them," the Doctor said, wiggling his eyebrows up and down. M'Yari thought for a few minutes while the Doctor whistled the Jeopardy theme and she smiled. "Fine, I accept your challenge. Who is your champion?" she asked when he stood back and someone walked out of the TARDIS. "I am!" Hamish said and the Doctor smiled.
