A hundred years ago someone had asked him if there were still miracles in the universe left for him. Of course there were he had answered back then, followed by a list of exploding stars and black holes and gigantic natural phenomena on one planet or the other. But never, never did he think of the small things he thought as he rummaged through one of his storage rooms.
He was looking for something the past hour but couldn’t seem to find it.
“A little help here perhaps girl?” He asked his faithful Tardis as he put aside objects from days long gone.
He really should clean up in here from time to time he thought as he came across a first edition of ‘on the origin of species’ “Good old Charlie! Still… not what I was looking for girl.”
He went through it all again, sorting out books and weapons and trinkets from other planets. Shuddered at an almost forgotten skull and got distracted quite a few times when he found some of his old toys again. He suddenly knew why he never got round to properly cleaning this junk. Finally, after a few hours of cleaning, of which he was sure that the Tardis made him do it on purpose he found what he was looking for.
Carefully he dusted it off and hurried back towards the chamber he and Rose were sharing before she could wake up. He placed it in the corner and turned towards the bed where his wife was sleeping. His beautiful, incredible, caring, brave wife. He still couldn’t believe that the universe actually had given him another chance of happiness after everything that happened. Even more so, he couldn’t believe that at 904 he would still meet the love of his life and she was just that. No other woman from any species in the universe, known or unknown had managed to conquer his heart like she had done.
Carefully he walked to his side of the bed trying his best not to wake her. He didn’t need any sleep, he just wanted to be there with her, to hold her.
If anyone had told him before he would meet her that he would ever get this domestic, spending a night cleaning up and snuggling against his wife he would’ve believed that something terrible would probably happen to him. Something that would cause permanent brain damage. But in the end all it took was one amazing female human to bump into him on his travels.
Finally his excitement over his surprise took over and he kissed her awake. She was dazed at first, taking her time to properly wake up but as soon as she saw his face she smiled up at him.
“Good morning husband.” She said before pulling him in for another kiss.
“Good morning wife, how are you feeling?”
“Just fine Doctor.” He grinned at that, the same way he couldn’t stop grinning since last night when she told him the most incredible news.
“I got something for you.” He said as he pointed towards the corner. She looked to see the battered, old little crib, with words in Gallifreyan written on it.
“Oh Doctor.” She tried her best not to get emotional but her hormones were giving her a hard time as she imagined their little child sleeping inside it.
“It used to be mine that one.” And she couldn’t help but grin through her happy tears at the thought of the Doctor as a small little baby.
“It’s perfect.” His hands went to her belly. Yes, there were still wonders in the world and some of them incredibly small, like their child that had begin to grow. And if he thought he couldn’t love her anymore than he already did, than he was sorely mistaken.
