Through The Looking-Glass

[preserved_ginger]

Title: Through the Looking-Glass
Character(s): Rose. Mentions of Jackie and an OC.
Pairing(s): Ten/Rose
Rating: G
Setting: Rose's parallel universe.
A/N: This drabble takes place in my You're Not? universe and follows on directly from that story. Unbeta-ed, so any (and all) mistakes are mine. 100 words in MS-Works, the title is from the book of the same name by Lewis Carroll.
Summary: The Doctor’s daughter receives her name.

“So, what are we going to call you?” Jackie cooed at her newborn grand-daughter (born with two hearts, there was no doubting the baby’s father).

“Alice,” the baby’s mother said. “Her name is Alice. Alice Hope Tyler, like the girl who came through the looking-glass.”

“Alice?” Jackie said the name experimentally. Nobody else so much as breathed a word (the baby girl’s middle name went unmentioned. Nobody needed reminding what (who) that stood for.)

“Alice.” Rose’s tone and facial expression were not those of someone whose opinion would be turned.

And that was how the Doctor’s daughter received her name.

*sniffle* Alice. Lovely drabble. (A child with the best qualities of both The Doctor and Rose...will probably take over the Universe.) Will there be another installment?

Aww. *ded*

Now I can't get the image of the Doctor spoiling little Alice rotten. If only they were in the same universe!

Aww - I love the "Hope". That quiet courage is so typical of Rose.

Very appropriate!

I think so; for a person who came through the looking-glass with her mother, it's the only name that makes sense, don't you think?

Steadfast and true, that's our Rose :)

If only they were in the same universe!

To quote the good Doctor, "never say 'never ever'" ;)

I've one more in progress and I think there will be at least one or two after that.

Don't discount the Doctor seeing Alice, somehow.

Aw, I like.

Thanks! I'm strangely fond of this 'verse myself, even if it's just not what I'd usually write.
