"They're not coming!" she said bitterly as the time ticked on and Tony, now seven, started to complain.
"If they said they were coming, then they're coming!" he replied with a grate to his voice.
Then, finally, the familiar whining of the TARDIS pitched all around them as it materialised in front of them. Both doors opened wide.
They moved to the entrance and there, inside, the console room had been decked out totally with Christmas tree, lights, the lot. In the centre stood the Doctor and a heavily pregnant Rose. The two year old twins hid behind their parents legs.
"Merry Christmas!" they shouted happily. Jackie ran to her daughter with tears in her eyes and pulled her into a tight embrace.
Pete picked up the large crate and handed it to the Doctor.
"Brought wine, just as you asked!"
