"Poppy Watcher was your daughter...I was Poppy Watcher,"
"...?"
"Hello, my name's Willow Pond,"

----------&----------

Willow had already got her new 'look', but she didn't want to go back to Demon's Run. She didn't fit it. Her parents didn't know who she was, they didn't know she was also Poppy. How would she bring that up?

"You okay?" River asks, peeking her head into the changing room her sister was in.

"No... They don't know who I am," she mutters "They know you're River Song, but now I'm a stranger, they won't even recognise me as Poppy Watcher,"

"We'll explain...The Doctor will -"

"What if he can't see her in me? What if he doesn't love..."

"Willow,!" River laughs "trust me, that won't happen. Now, we have to go do a lot of explaining with you daughter,"

"God...my daughter. She's all grown up and I don't know where younger her is..."

"She'll be fine... I promise,"

"We ready to go?" Alex asks, entering the room

"Yeah," Willow nods "big old family reunion...How fun," Alex smiles, this was the mum she knew.

----------&----------

"Well then, soldier. How goes the day?" River asks as the three appear in a flash of lightning, The Doctor turns to them in anger. His eyes briefly travel to a newly dressed Willow, she waves slightly. Willow knew she was good-looking in this body - not that she was ugly in the other bodies, far from it actually.

"Where the hell have you been?" The Doctor steps forward and Amy and Rory watch curiously, both not recognising Willow "Every time you've asked, I have been there. Where the hell were you today?"

"I couldn't have prevented this,"

"You could have tried!"

"And so, my love, could you," Willow speaks up as River turns to Amy

"I know you're not alright. But hold tight, Amy, because you're going to be,"

"You think I wanted this?" The Doctor says to Willow as she stands behind River "I didn't do this. This, this wasn't me!"

"This was exactly you. All this. All of it," 

"You make them so afraid," River starts "When you began, all those years ago, sailing off to see the universe, did you ever think you'd become this? The man who can turn an army around at the mention of his name. Doctor. The word for healer and wise man throughout the universe. We get that word from you, you know. But if you carry on the way you are, what might that word come to mean? To the people of the Gamma Forests, the word Doctor means mighty warrior. How far you've come...

"And now they've taken 3 children, the twins of your best friends and your own daughter," Willow can't help but glance at Alex as she says that "and they're going to make their daughters into weapon's just to bring you down. And all this, my love, in fear of you..." The Doctor stares at Willow in shock before looking at River.

"Who are you? And how are you two related?" h gestures between Alex and River.

"Oh look, your cot. Haven't seen that in a very long while..." River tries to leave and The Doctor gently pulls her back

"No, no, you tell me! My daughter's been taken and I'm not in the mood for games! Tell me!"

"I am telling you..." she holds onto the cot and The Doctor's eyes are drawn to the prayer leaves "Can't you read?" The Doctor slowly looks up at River in realization.

"Hello..."

"Hello," she waves "meet my nice," River nods to Alex.

"But, but that means..." The Doctor ignores the niece part for the moment.

"I'm afraid it does,"

"Ooo. But me and her, we, we, we, er..." he gestures between him and Willow and makes kissing noises

"Yes," River says rather sternly "I need to have words with you about that,"

The Doctor laughs happily, but then something hits him, he turns to Alex "but if you're her niece..."

"Oh, yeah," Alex smiles "Hi dad," she waves and The Doctor's eyes widen, looking to Willow

"Did you know?"

"Kind of figured it out a while back,"

"How do I look?" he asks her, his happiness back

"Amazing,"

"How do you look...?" he questions

"Better than you - always,"

"Oh, you'd better be," he laughs, all giddy and excited, he turns to the others "Vastra and Jenny, till the next time. Jack, stay out of trouble. Rory and Amy, I know where to find your daughters, and on my life, they will be safe. River, get them all home," he then rushes to the TARDIS, pointing at Alex and Willow "Alex with me. You," he points to Willow "Have some explaining to do," Alex rushes off into the TARDIS and as it dematerialises, Amy and Rory shout at it

"Doctor!"

"No! Where are you going?"

"Where's he going and what did you tell him?" Amy asks, turning to Willow and River, standing by the cot Melody had laid in hours earlier.

"Amy, you have stay calm,"

Amy picks up a Gun and points it at Willow "No, who even are you? What did River tell The Doctor? Where's Poppy? Where're my Children?!"

"Amy, no. Stop it!" Rory tries to get his wife to put the gun down.

"It's okay, Rory. She's fine. She's good," River Tells him as Willow Steps forward.

"They made your children Gallifreyan," Willow starts "I would say Time Lord and you have to go to an academy for that...and they definitely didn't do that," she tries to laugh but the gun her mother was pointing at her made the situation rather tense. 

"Then, they're going to wipe the memory of one of them in the future...She'll be fine. But the process causes her to regenerate and have a brand-new body, no trace of what you two look like in her. She pops up in 2006 London, a perception filter stopping anyone from detecting her two hearts or different DNA" Amy and Rory's eyes widen slightly

"She won't remember anything...not even her name. And so, she chooses the name Poppy Watcher,"

"That can't be right!" Amy says "And if it is, where is she now?"

"They forced her into the prototype of the memory room they're going to use to wipe her younger self. She remembers everything, but the process forced her into regeneration again..."

"But, where is she? That's our daughter, whether she's grown up now or not!" Rory shouts, stepping forward.

"Yeah, you're right. Poppy Watcher was your daughter...I was Poppy Watcher" The two stare in shock as River smiles slightly and Willow waves "Hello, my name's Willow Pond,"

"Why arm't you wearing the same clothes then?"

"I'm a completely different body type, that skirt was far too big and imagine if I had the conversation holding up a huge skirt," Rory cocks his head in agreement that it would be even more awkward.

"Oh my god," Amy stares at her

"Yeah... your daughter was one of your best friend's and now she's gone and your daughter again," Willow laughs "It's all getting complicated,"

"But what did The Doctor tell You?" Amy asks River, dropping the gun

"It's the TARDIS translation matrix. It takes a while to kick in with the written word. You have to concentrate," River gestures to the cot

"I still can't read it...."

"It's because it's Gallifreyan and doesn't translate. But this will..." she passes them the prayer leaf with Melody's name on it, "It's your other daughter's name in the language of the Forest,"

"I know my daughter's names," Amy refuses to look at it

" Except they don't have a word for Pond, because the only water in the forest is the River," Amy looks down at the leaf "The Doctor will find your daughters, and he will care for them whatever it takes," the words slowly translate " And I know that. I'm the other one. I'm Melody. I'm your daughter," It's silent as Amy and Rory stare at their daughters smiling at them, carrying the same mannerisms. Willow slowly pops her head around, looking at Vastra, Jenny and Jack.

"You guys heard all that, didn't you?

"Yeah..." they all respond, the accents mixing.
