After the Rain - Chapter 20"Shana..." He bent down, checking her pulse, he exhaled a relieved breath. He picked her up, carefully carrying her back to his room.The room was lit well, bed freshly made, and next to the bed, a small glass of Corda."When she is conscious," He said to the ship, but he felt a nudge back at him. "I don't need it."Nudge."Stop it." He laid her down on the bed, pulling the duvet back over her, and sat down next to her.Nudge.He closed his eyes, inhaling and grinding his teeth.Nudge."Okay, fine!" He picked up the shot and downed it quickly. He closed his eyes, the Corda flowing quickly through his blood."Doctor?" He looked down,
After the Rain - Chapter 19He finally brought himself under control, picked himself off the floor and walked out of the Hall of Memory. His mind was no where near being in the present which is probably why he didn't see her at first."I said, hello grumpy!" He spun around, and saw her leaning against the corridor wall. He blinked, unsure he saw what couldn't possibly be. She grinned, walked over and ran her fingers along his cheek.

After the Rain - Chapter 16Shana had brought him the co-ordinates his other had supplied, and it seemed rather straight-forward and to the point. The note was written in Gallifreyan, and he knew from long experience that though she may be half-Time Lord, she could not read it. It was a good thing she couldn't. The note had the co-ordinates, but, along with that was a warning: When they arrive, to do a immediate scan for any Tardis. If there is no response, Leave.Apparently his other is as worried as Shana is, over losing the Tardis.He set to calibrating the Tardis. His mind always seemed to settle while repairing his ship.Shana had gotten dressed, choosing a pair
After the Rain - Chapter 15She slowly woke from her dreamless sleep. Her body felt relaxed, and her mind was surprisingly calm. She felt a weight on her right side, and turned to see the Doctor next to her. He was asleep on his side, his arm laying on hers, his hand draped over her shoulder.Her left hand reached over to touch him and his eyes immediately opened. "Good morning," He whispered, raising his head from next to her shoulder. She smiled, and he raised her hand to his lips, softly pressing a kiss to her palm."How are you feeling," She asked, smiling at the gentle kiss."It's as if Utah had never happened," He said. His blue eyes pierced her. "Thank you, b
