Summary: For all his great, big, brilliant, Time Lord brain, he was completely mystified when it came to this tiny creature.


He sat there chewing on his thumbnail, just sort of staring at her, not exactly sure what to do. For all his great, big, brilliant, Time Lord brain, he was completely mystified when it came to this tiny creature.

“Hello,” he said quietly.

She just stared up at him from her nest of blankets, her bright brown eyes sparkling in the dim nursery light.

It was unlike him to be at a loss for words but he wasn’t sure what to say to this little person he had waited for, for so long.

Leaning forward toward the cradle, he thought about picking her up, but stopped short. She looked so comfortable, all snug and warm. As much as he wanted to hold her, it felt rude to just pick her up out of her bed.

Like her mother, she really should be sleeping now. He even told her as much as he peered at her.

She cooed at him.

His heart melted at the sound. This time he didn’t fight the urge. He scooped her up, half dozen pink blankets and all, and cradled her close to his chest, whispering soft nonsense at her, as he gently rocked her back and forth.

Slowly her little eyes shut as she drifted off to sleep.

Yet again he was at a loss of what he should do. Part of him could sit here and hold her all night, but another part of him wanted to look in on her mother.

Thus he finally settled on a compromise.

Ever so carefully, he carried his little child into Rose’s bedroom, where he found her sleeping soundly, just as he’d left her, not twenty minutes ago. Silently making his way around the bed, he lifted the duvet and crawled under, laying the sleeping baby between himself and Rose, as he settled in for the night this time.

“She’ll never learn to sleep in her own bed,” Rose murmured sleepily.

“That’s okay,” he replied, as he stroked the tiny cheek, still in awe that he could have helped create something so utterly wonderful.

what IS your icon supposed to be?

[ladymalchav.livejournal.com]

It's a drawing a friend made for me a while back. It's me in the tenth Doctor's coat, with a snake colored like the fourth Doctor's scarf, and a sonic screwdriver.

As I said before. I am going to take that as you liked it, and all it's cute fluffy goodness.

[mrs_roy.livejournal.com]

Oh this is gorgeous, pure fluff! I love Daddy doctor.

[milieva]

To some extent you can take this as being written for you. I had started it while talking to Rabid, and then I decided to finish it as I had read some post ofyour requesting baby-fic.

You're welcome. ;)

[mrs_roy.livejournal.com]

Wee Hee .. Thank You! I feel special now :P

[emraldeyedauter.livejournal.com]

Oh so cute. Ten and Rose would make excellent parents.

[milieva]

They would, though I don't know that they woudl always agree on what the best course of action to be taken was. I see Ten as being more overprotective than Rose, and even more unwilling to let the baby out of his sight.

[ladyofgallifrey.livejournal.com]

Thank you for putting a smile on my face. Now I can go to bed and dream sweet, fluffy, babyfic dreams.

[milieva]

I am always happy to put a smile one someone's face. that was the entire point of this fic, nothing but feel good baby fluff. I hope you did have sweet, fluffy baby fic dreams.

[unholygrace.livejournal.com]

My teeth ache from the gooey sweetness. But that's okay because I needed that. SO badly. ♥

[milieva]

Who doesn't need such 'gooey sweetness' right about now. And that is exavtly why I wrote it. I needed some major fluff, and what is fluffier than Ten fawning over his baby?

I am glad to have helped.

[teikachikata.livejournal.com]

Oh, that is so sweet. The Oncoming Storm reduced to a puddle. Very nice.

[milieva]

Thank you. And yes, the Oncoming storm would be reduced to a puddle by his own little child.

But your icon looks so unhappy, he makes me sad.

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

Utterly darling.

[milieva]

Thank you. I try my best when I give fluff a go.

[milieva]

That seems to be happening to most who read this little story of mine. I'm glad you liked it.

[glory_jean]

Awwwww. Adorable.

[milieva]

Thank you very much. I'm glad you liked it

[nipplemuggins.livejournal.com]

Oh, that was gorgeous! I melted!

[milieva]

Thank you. Sorry abotu the melting. It wasn't my intention to melt the fandom, but it seems to have happened.

[sapphire-child.livejournal.com]

All I can muster up after that is just a great big "awwwww!"

SOCUTE.

[milieva]

Well, that is quite alright. It seems to be the common reaction to this story. You are melted and rendered speechless it seems.

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.

[rosewarren.livejournal.com]

Fluffy gooeyness that is just perfect.

[milieva]

I thought some fluff was needed. I'm glad you liked it.

[beauty-within16.livejournal.com]

Awwww.
*melts*

[arrows4pens.livejournal.com]

The fluff melted me into a happy puddle :D

Your icon nearly made me cry. Now I have to read the fic again.

[milieva]

I think the best part was how your icon has Ten and Rose looking up at 16s16's icon, which made you cry.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I suppose it was my unconcious desire to melt the fandom.

[milieva]

Those seem to be the most common reactions to this story. I'm glad you liked it.

[gilmorelover.livejournal.com]

AWWWW!!!! I lurve it!!!! All the ice in the freezer just melted because of this.

[milieva]

Oh, dear. I hope that didn't make too much of a mess. I am terribly sorry if it did.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you.

[milieva]

I'm glad you liked it. I thought a little fluff was needed after all that has happened. And is there anything fluffier than Ten fawning over his child?

[ladymalchav.livejournal.com]

You know what I kind of want to see in your 'verse? Some sibling rivalry. IDK, I just think it would be adorable.

[milieva]

Well I will see what I can do for you. I have the bit with the prompts from that chat last night. Though I don't see them fighting all that much.

It would be adorable.

[helygen.livejournal.com]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw :)

[milieva]

I'm glad you liked it. :)

[pncwho.livejournal.com]

This was lovely. Naturally, any baby they have would have Time Lord Daddy wrapped around her little finger. :)

[milieva]

Naturally.
