Summary: Donna has news for the Doctor...

Chapter VIII

“‘Peter got down very quietly off the wheel-barrow, and started running as fast as he could go.’”

“Peter’s norty,” Elizabeth observes, pointing to the illustration that showed the rabbit reaching for the gate.

“He certainly is,” the Doctor tells his daughter, pressing the tip of his finger to the end of her nose. “And do you know why?”

“His mummy telled him no,” comes the ready reply.

“That’s right,” he agrees with a hug. “That’s why you should always do what your mummy tells you.”

“I does,” Elizabeth says, adding cheekily, “But you doesn’t.”

“We-ell,” the Doctor retorts, ignoring the comment on his own behaviour “you don’t always…”

“Does, too!”

The Doctor peers at her over his glasses. “Do you want me to finish the story, or are we going to have a silly ‘does too-does not’ game?”

She stares at him as she gives the question careful consideration. It’s a trait that the Doctor knows can only have come from Donna, because he’s never been one to think things through. In fact, Elizabeth is a thorough mix of both her parents.

Her propensity to show off and her natural curiosity is all him, but her moments of quiet reflection and her heart-felt interest in every individual they meet is pure Donna.

The Doctor doesn’t think he’s ever seen anything more fascinating that the development of the young lady on his lap.

“More story, please, Dot-tor,” Elizabeth says in the end, and snuggles against him as he continues to read.

Oh, I just love the image of them snuggled up together with him reading to her - so cozy. :) And I love their little debate, too.
I love each chapter more than the next!

You know Elizabeth would argue with the Doctor just like Donna does. And I certainly hope that trend continues!

I do love that she's still calling him Dot-tor, it's so sweet :)

I tossed up having her call him Dot-tor-Daddy, but I thought that was pushing things a bit too far.
