Title: It Will Come for your Children
Characters: Ten, Polly, Ben
Wordcount: 100
Summary: But they *look* so much like you did when you were younger.

A/N: For fantom_fan who asked for Ten and Polly - Ben just sort of added himself to the mix spontaneously.

“You aren’t taking him.” Polly was very firm. “It’s far too dangerous, traveling with you.”

“Weeelll, I admit some things happened, but it wasn’t all bad, was it? Thought you’d like him getting to see the stars...”

“Ben!” Polly yelled, her hand clutching her son’s shirt. “Ben, he’s back!”

A wiry, blonde man catapulted into the flat. “Hands off!” he said. “Go poach someone else’s children, Doctor. None of ours are going off to be monster bait.”

“But Mum…” the teenaged boy complained.

“Maybe the older girl…?”

“No!”

“Sorry, sorry,” the Doctor sighed. “You know, Sarah-Jane said the same thing.”

Well, only a few had the possibility of producing double-companionated progeny - no doubt Barbara and Ian raked him over the coals as well. X-)

I wouldn't put it past Seven, if he had that idea, to set up companion/companion marriages, nip forward twenty years, and harvest their children. But if Ten had that idea, I dread to imagine whom he'd try to pair off with whom. Probably making perfectly understandable mistakes like Harry/Sara and Steven/Victoria en route.
