The Doctor's Daughters

Summary:

A long time ago on Gallifrey, two girls were born, Catherine and Tara. They weren't safe however and at the age of eight they were brought to earth to be raised by a different family for a few years. How their dad met the parents they grew up with isn't completely clear and doesn't make a lot of sense and eventually the girls dropped the subject. Now their dad is back and they're not completely sure if they want to go back with him. The story is told from Tara's point of view and she tries her hardest to remember everything that's happened to them up until that point.

Notes:

I've been thinking about writing Catherine and Tara's past for a while now so that everyone gets a chance to learn more about them instead of mildly questioning how they ended up with the lives they did. And I'm just seeing how much attention this gets, I'll write more if gets a decent amount of attention.

Chapter 1: Introduction

Chapter Text

Hey, wow never thought I’d get to talk about my life before. Where to start? From the beginning I guess, my name is Tara Diana Heart. The middle and last name was given to me when I came to this world when I was about eight years old, and technically I don’t exist. Here’s why, when I was a kid, I’m eighteen now by the way and I guess according to earth standards I’m a Gemini or something like that, anyway when I was a kid a war was going on back home. Mom and dad were recruited to save the whole of creation and time itself, and when I was eight I was brought here, in America more specifically, I know dad makes a lot of trips to London, and given a chance to live a semi-normal life. I had believed that the family I grew up with was my family, which was good I guess. The parents who adopted me had met my dad at some point in their lives I suppose and found a way to keep in touch? I don’t know, they didn’t explain that very well to me. At twelve I learned I wasn’t really like them and had a hard time believing them. It took me about maybe three years to accept it as fact. My best friend, well who I thought was my best friend, was really my twin sister, whom I was separated from for some strange reason. Learned that later on down the road too, I still can’t believe that this was kept secret the whole time. This is a story about me and my sister Catherine, recounting everything we did after or in between when dad had a companion or two. It gives you a feel for who we are and how we played a bit of a role in dad’s life, getting him back into the swing of being a parent again after about five years or so. I don’t remember a lot when I was eight and younger, just a lot of arguing and fighting between me and Catherine and us getting sent to our rooms a lot. But I will be doing my best to recount everything that happened afterward, just hang in there with me okay? Great, then without further delay let’s get started.
