Romana and Narvin had not been back together long, but lately these days it seemed the high council were set on having her in meeting after meeting leaving her very little time for anything else. The election was mere weeks away, and now she rarely even saw Narvin, and when she did he was always snapping at her. Had she already lost him? He still came home to her, well usually, some nights he didn't and the nights he did he'd slip in when she was sleeping. She would wake with him holding her.


Romana had not been herself in the usually late council meeting, she mumbled and stumbled over her words remaining quiet mostly and once it was over she had simply left. She didn't talk to anyone and went back to her office causing even Narvin to be concerned.


"Tutor Braxiatel, am I doing okay with the lessons?" Emmaline asked him as she sat on the end of the sofa.

He smiled at her, "come here ," he said taking her into his arms she snuggled up to him resting her head on his shoulder. "You are my most beautiful, perfect student," as he gentle kissed her she returned the kiss.

Earlier he had discovered something about his most perfect student that he knew nobody else knew, not even his young Student knew.

He had being cross matching some data and it had caught his attention revealing Emmaline was so much more than he once believed. He found out she was not a complete Guardian, she had in fact being half Time Lord and half Guardian, that her father is a Time Lord. in fact Emmaline's father was someone he despised. This little revelation made Emmaline much more attractive towards him. He would sit on this little bit of information and once he decided it was time for it to be revealed he would be there to comfort Emmaline.

To even consider carrying on with his plan was a new low even for Braxiatel's standards. Emmaline was still very young and inexperienced, but he also knew he needed to be careful. He was pretty sure her relationship with both Wynter and Damon had being innocent. He was actually secretly pleased Damon and Emmaline had not seen each other since her regeneration even though it had hurt Emmaline.

He paused for a moment trying to think., She was still very young although she looked older now. He had waited until she was at least a teenager before making any move on her..

Braxiatel lips brushed gentle against hers as he began to kiss her softly. Emmaline started feeling completely dazed by his kiss, his lips were pressed against hers as she lost herself in him as she kissed him back. Emmaline wrapped her arms around his neck, as Braxiatel pulled her closer to him until she was on his lap his arms were wrapped around her as he deepened their kiss.

"Brax," she mumbled into the kiss. "Should"- doubting whether she should really be kissing him. He was her Tutor, but she needed this, but on some more levels wasn't it wrong? She had never been in this situation before. Finally they pulled apart, he gently touched her face not regretting what he had done.

Emmaline was still so naively young which made it easier for him to manipulate her, but the truth was he had wanted her for a long time now.

She rested her head against his shoulder as he kissed lightly down her neck. "Emmaline," he whispered into her hair, she sighed content feeling safe for the first time, feeling that Braxiatel could never hurt her.


Narvin sighed he had so much conflict in his head these days he was concerned for Emmaline, although she was doing well in her newest regeneration no longer being damaged she seemed to have put the past behind her, but yet he felt uneasy like Emmaline had wanted to tell him something that day she came to him and then they was Romana she looked like a ghost really pale in the meeting and he was concerned for her.

He got up and headed for her office she was there alone.

"Romana," he said softly. "Are you okay? he said edging closer to her.

"I'm fine," she whispered as she lost her balance, catching her she slumbered in his arms, her skin was flushed and her breathing shallow.

"You're sick! he snapped. "why didn't you tell me?" He demanded.

"Why would you even care?" she hissed. He knew he deserved that.

"Romana ,"he said softly.

"I am not that sick, just a little," she whispered. " I just need - " as she passed out for a moment, as he lifted her into his arms he carried her to her bed, as she groaned slightly her eyes opened . "Sorry," she whispered weakly.

"You should of told me," he said more gently as he put a wet sponge over her face which seemed to help.

"How are you feeling?"

"Sick, but a little better."

"You need to rest, no arguments. I don't care about what meeting they want you in or what conference they want you travelling to. You are exhausted."

"Narvin stay please," she pleaded.

"I'm not going any where. I'm going to take care of you," he kissed her forehead softly. He watched her fall asleep and regretted neglecting her. He should of been there with her, he should of seen she was sick when she was sleeping so much more than usual.


Romana being as stubborn as she was hated resting, she had too much to do. The President of Gallifrey could not lie in bed all day.

After Narvin had left later the next day, she was feeling better, so she walked into her office.

Romana was sat in her office when Leela and K9 entered.

"Romana you called for us?"

"Yes Leela I have a job for you andyour K-9," she said standing up. but then the whole room seemed to spin as she fell to the ground.

"Romana," Leela knelt down on the floor beside her. Her eyes were closed Leela touched her face she was burning up. Realising she was unconscious she turned to K-9.

"K-9 what is wrong with her."

"Scanning now, The mistress is with child."

"I thought natural pregnancy's could not happen on Gallifrey."

"Affirmative, Mistress." K-9 replied.

"I will sent for Narvin." She quickly called him, he was there within minutes, by then Romana had regained consciousness and was sitting on the floor when Narvin charged in.

"Romana!," he rushed to her side seeing Romana on the floor looking deadly pale. He touched her face and she was burning up as much as she had days ago. "I need to get you to a medical station."

"Narvin, Why did you allow her to be at work, when its obvious she's?" sick Leela asked.

"Allowed her? Have you ever tried to stop her once her mind is made up."

"I'm fine," she managed to say pulling herself up. "See I'm fine," but within moments she swayed on her feet, as she started to fall before Narvin caught her.

"You are not fine Romana." He said softly. He knew she was far too weak to fight him, as he lifted her into his arms carrying her towards the medical station.


"Will she be all right K-9,? asked Leela.

"A Gallifrean pregnancy is most unusual however with proper rest and care she will recover."

"I am glad, replied Leela. Thank you K-9."

"Thanks are not necessary, Mistress."


When Romana woke up she was laying in the medical wing on a bed.

"You passed out again," said Narvin.."You're Pregnant!," he almost shouted at her. "Is it Braxiatel's is that why you didn't tell?" me as he paced up and down the room.

"I didn't know," she screamed at him as the tears streamed down her face. She couldn't be carrying Braxiatel's child she suddenly felt sick to her stomach.

Narvin took one final look at Romana and stormed out. She attempted to get of the bed.

"Madam President you must rest," said the young Doctor. it was no use anyway she was too weak, as she fell back on the bed she sighed in defeat.


"I want to see Damon," Emmaline announced. She had not known why he had chose not to see her since her regeneration, or maybe he had seen her and ran the opposite way. Emmaline thought quietly to herself.

"I don't think Damon is worth your time. If he cared don't you think he would of come to see you? A beautiful Time lady like you deserves someone who will treasure her no matter what face you wear." Braxiatel said kissing her neck, as his hands wandered over her body making Emmaline gasp at his touch.

"Do you think Damon can make you feel like this? he whispered, as he planted kisses across her face and down her neck as his hand moved under her top making her gasp at the way he touched her.

"Braxiatel, but you were the one who told me about Damon." But he simply pressed his lips against hers, as she kissed him back. How could she do this if she loved Damon? Emmaline asked herself.

"He won't love the new you," Braxiatel said gravely, "but I can, " as he kissed her again.

The lies that poured out of his mouth didn't bother Braxiatel, sometimes it seemed every time he opened his mouth more lies seemed to fall out of his mouth. He knew the reasons why Damon was staying away, as he remembered the talk he had with him only days ago.

"How is Emmaline?" Damon asked.

"Why haven't you being to see her yourself? Braxiatel asked the boy.

"Maybe in her new regeneration she would not be the Emmaline I loved Has she mentioned me? He asked hopeful

Braxiatel looked away. "She said that her previous two Regenerations were her past a past she did not want to revisit and she could not inspire to love anything or anyone from those life's. I am sorry Damon."

Braxiatelwas not sorry lying came second nature to him, but he could not allow anything to distract Emmaline from her future, from her studies and his own feelings towards the Young Time Lady which had Braxiatel thoughts in a daze since her 3rd regeneration.

Emmaline had become his first thought in the morning and his last thought in the evening, he couldn't even control his emotions when she was around let alone his thoughts. He knew she was far too young for him but that did not really concern him. What concerned him was Romanakilling him painfully when she found out, but he liked living dangerous

.

Ever since Romana had ended their relationship he had moved his attention to Emmaline and he felt no guilt in doing it either. Even destroying her relationship with Damon did not bother him in fact he felt quite smug about the whole thing.


Narvin walked back into his office smashing his fist against the wall as he cursed Braxiatel, cursed Romana and cursed Gallifrey. he was furious grabbing anything he could he smashed it flinging it against the wall. He took a deep breath he wasn't angry with Romana he loved her, but He would not share her with Braxiatel and he couldn't raise Braxiatel's child. He had never really thought of having a future with Romana or a family with her but now he really had to think about this stuff. He liked the idea of having a family with Romana, having a future with her, but then a thought hit him what if it was his child she was carrying. He wanted the baby to be his more than anything.

He felt terrible for walking out on Romana he never saw her so upset and he was the result of her pain and tears, and he was causing her more stress and pain.


Romana having gained a little strength was already out of her bed when Narvin had come back.

"I'm sorry," he whispered taking her gently in his arms. "Don't want to ever hurt you, you mean the world to me."

She pulled away. " I don't need you I don't want you here," she cried.

"Yes, you do, you need me," he said softly holding her tightly, as she tried to fight against him, but she clung to him as her tears continued falling and before long they were kissing. He had taken her home but he wouldn't let her do any work making her stay in bed while he took care of her.

Narvin was almost a father before he never got to meet his child, the war had happened destroying and killing everyone on the Guardian planet including the woman he had loved and although Romana never knew she had healed his hearts from his loss. So to get the chance to be a father again was a miracle especially since Time Lady's were meant to be infertile.

They had being a time on Gallifrey when they had being a few isolated incidents when Time Lords had formed relationships with the people of that planet, although it was frowned upon and then laws had being formed to prevent Time lords from having these kind of relationships with other species.
