Work Text:
Of course, Anna Charlotte Tyler is a genius, even at the tender age of two. She is the daughter of the Doctor and Rose Tyler, so how could she be anything but amazing?
So the Doctor reads to her: physics and mechanics and recreational maths, and she hangs on every word. He reads her history sometimes and then tells her what really happened and they all have a good laugh.
But sometimes, Anna tells him, “Not numbers, Daddy!” and the Doctor pulls out one of the books from her more conventional toddler book collection. Rose loves it when he reads those books to her, because he invents voices for all the characters. His Eeyore-voice is particularly entertaining.
Tonight, his grin is goofy and he sounds completely daft as he reads On Beyond Zebra to his daughter, whose belly laugh is just as enchanting to hear as her husband’s silly voice.
