She's beautiful

[mme_depompadour]

Rose brought our little Penny into the world yesterday, and I must say she's the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Penny, not Rose, Rose is all bloated and red and smells a bit funny. She has my nose, and the Doctor's eyes. Rose and I have spent hours just looking at her little face and feet and hands and all the rest of her. Lynda changes her nappies, thank God, she does smell quite bad.

I wanted to talk to the Doctor about his feelings for our strangely prematurely born lovechild, but he was hiding in a bookfort in the library with Pfred, dictating something to her about always wearing sensible shoes. I tried to engage him in conversation but he shot at me from one of the turrets with his sonic screwdriver shouting "Pow! Pow! Got you! You evil French harlot and your mimsy of inveiglement!!"

I feel I may need to leave him for a while. Perhaps I'll try again tomorrow.

i feel like a lesbian mum. i'm so proud of us.

the doctor bought little Penny shiny gifts? he's trying. Not overly hard mind, but he's trying.

[mme_depompadour]

I'm so proud of us too.
*kiss*
She's lovely.
Trying my patience, yes.

i thought he might bond with penny but....

is it me? is it because i gave birth to her? do you think he'd love her more if she was yours? properly yours, i mean.

I fear he has inherited his father's incapacity to feel as a human father might feel. He is literally unable to feel the same way about his child and you and I do. This does not excuse him from his fatherly duties - he has guaranteed his daughter's safety, and I will hold him to that promise. But we can only feel sorry for him in his isolation, and try to be patient with him.

i do feel sorry for him sometimes, but...it's frustrating, you know? That he doesn't see things the way i want him to. it makes me sad and then I get angry at him, even though I shouldn't...

what should i do, miss gate? you are so wise.

*hands you a hypodermic needle*

Inject him with this.

wh

what is it?

[miss-gate.livejournal.com]

A neuropeptide, named oxytocin. The Doctor cannot make this himself, but the human pathways of his brain should respond to it. At this moment your body is flooded with the substance, helping you to bond with your child.

It may make him more than usually amorous.

but but but that is like

cheating a bit?



*TEMPTED*

I leave it in your hands, my dear.

Miss Gate? M'm?

Please come. It's all gone wrong.

[miss-gate.livejournal.com]

NOT A CHANCE.

What do you want to talk about?

[mme_depompadour]

You don't seem to want to hold her. Why is that?
Don't you think she's beautiful?

We made her, you and me, our love made this tiny living thing.
Isn't that the most wonderful thing ever?

[lonely-god.livejournal.com]

...yes?

[mme_depompadour]

Yes?


So why won't you hold her?

[lonely-god.livejournal.com]

I did. Earlier.

*stern look*

Pick up the bloody baby for two minutes.

[lonely-god.livejournal.com]

*picks it up*

*sulks*

I got her some bling. Did you see the bling? And her first mobile phone. Because I'm supportive.

[miss-gate.livejournal.com]

She has your eyes.

And her mother's nose, thankfully.

[lonely-god.livejournal.com]

Everyone says that.

She has good feet.

*squeezes your hand* My dear, the poor boy is physically incapable of feeling what you and I feel when we hold the child. Despite his human heritage, he lacks the biochemistry to feel these lovely feelings. We must pity him.

[mme_depompadour]

*squeezes back*
It's ok. I do pity him sometimes.
I think Rose and I can probably do something about the biochemical aspect of his...little problem.
*winks at you*
