Clara sighed and stepped inside, shutting the bedroom door behind her. “I dread what happens when you’re alone, but everyone needs time to themselves once in a while. I didn’t want to disturb yours.”

She sat beside him and took his hand. He had been uncharacteristically quiet, and the burden of his happiness fell squarely on his companion’s shoulders. “Talk to me.”

Life had become chaotic for the old school teacher. Since baby Eleanor had come into their lives everything had flipped. She had practically given up her flat and moved onto the Tardis. Trying to find time to deal with her work schedule, though as the Doctor liked to say they had all the time in the universe. Even if there was only a few weeks left of summer break for her friends on earth.

She had just laid the baby down for a nap when her phone rang. Claire let out a string of curses as she re-awoke and began to cry. Answering her phone with one hand; she rocked the bassinet with the other.

“ ‘Ello!?”

“Claire? Where have you gone? We stopped by your flat for dinner and you were gone! The landlord said he hadn’t seen you in days.” Came the voice of her worried father. “Is that a baby crying?”

“Yes it is, and I have been away at my… boyfriend’s place… helping out,” she rushed out, smacking herself on the head as the Doctor walked in.

“No, it’s not.” She pulled away from him, withdrawing to the doorway. “There’s no one on Earth who can be enough for you. We’re not built for it.” Not only was human life boring and repetitive, but it was short. On two fronts, she was failing, and it wasn’t even her fault.

She turned the engagement ring over on her finger. “All the theatrics and the planning--do you even want that? Bells and whistles and traditions aren’t your style.”

"You're the love of my life." - timewearyxi, because I wanted some fluff.

She gazed up at him, a small smile playing on her lips. Someone like her, just an Earth girl with no real remarkable history before meeting the Doctor, had somehow become the center of his world. 

She rose up on her tiptoes to kiss him. “I loved you since that we stopped that plane from crashing. But it’s easy for people to fall in love with you--I’m not sure how you managed the same for me.”

Comfort

Drabble for @timewearyxi for this meme. I hope you enjoy!

A rare sunny morning warmed Clara awake, the rays hitting her exposed back. Even with the sun, though, there was a chill in the air. Or maybe it was in the bed. Whatever.

Clara reached to pull up the blankets and found that she was trapped by two cool arms, and with that realization came the additional realization that her head was pillowed on a softly-breathing chest, ear pressed up against the skin. She could just make out a slow double heartbeat.

And suddenly getting out of bed seemed like a terrible idea.

Though she did try to pull the blankets up a bit (the Doctor's cooler skin was the source of her chill). She snuggled further into his arms and craned her neck up to kiss his jaw, relishing the strength surrounding her and the peace in his sleeping face. When else did she see the Doctor like this?

“I Need You” starters

@timewearyxi

“Don’t.” Growing into this relationship with the Doctor hadn’t come without its fair share of difficulties. The Doctor had to adjust to being the Doctor again, and Clara had to adjust to losing John.

She was curled on the sofa, blankly staring at the cover of Name the Time of Day. Her words were exhausted, flat, lifeless. “Let me be angry. I deserve that much after being--”

She couldn’t bring herself to say abandoned. “--left.”

Opening Up

@timewearyxi

Clara bolted out of the cab and ran to John’s door, bag thumping against her hip with each step. It was pouring rain, but Clara hadn’t remembered an umbrella or even a decent coat in her great rush. John would probably fuss over her condition, sit her down and offer her tea, but she had no time. She had to find the fobwatch.

Inside her bag was her copy of Name the Time of Day, dog-eared at the epilogue. Were her eyes still red? Would he see them and the rain on her face, and put two and two together?

No matter. She needed to wake the Doctor so she could return all those beautiful things he said to her. She knocked ferociously and continuously, bossy until the very end. “John!”

Baby starters

@timewearyxi

"I am, aren’t I?” Her hands brushed over her five-month bump which seemed to grow every day. At first she’d been excited to finally show, but the bigger she got, the less fun it seemed.

She turned on her side to face the Doctor, put off by the way her stomach jutted out and made a recognizable lump in the blankets. “The TARDIS doesn’t have maternity clothes, does she?”
