[theboywhowaits]

Who: Rory and Molly, Everyone
Where: Med Bay
Summary: Rory takes his daughter to work with him, works on supply lists.
Warnings: None


He had been trying to spend as much time with his daughter as he could, fearing another interruption that would make him miss things or give her time enough to forget him.

For the moment, he was doing an amount of boring bust work that any sane man would have balked at. Surprisingly, the recent events had left much undone.

It had also left an emptier infirmary in its wake.

Molly burbled, half of her hand pushed into her tiny face, bouncing in her chair. She had gotten bigger, and it had only been a month- two?- hard to tell in pod sleep, he had slept and Molly had grown and things had happened.

It would take time to sort it all out again, time to fix things.

He hoped he could fix things. "I doubt that foot tastes very good, little miss Molly, are you sure that's your meal of choice?"

His daughter laughed, reaching for him, and he let her steel his off hand, making faces at the baby and letting himself be distracted from his task.

He needed this too.

"Well, you'll just need to write the book on it for the next generation." He frowned at the near rustle. "Don't make me strap your wing, Kang. I wish we had a kapak, then. I'm sure if nothing else they could have managed to force you to comply with doctor's orders."

He smiled. "Good. Busy. We're all busy, it feels like. We've a house in the city now, away from the TARDIS, it seems a little strange. Just this side of normalcy on an alien spaceship."

"You might take that back once you know what they do to heal injuries. They use their saliva," Kang grinned. "That's good to hear. We all need some sort of normalcy around here to keep us sane."

"If it works, I have no objections." It was strange, but he was learning to cope with strange ways of doing thing. "And if it works fast, sign me up. It'll save lives."

He smiled warmly. "Yeah. The little bits keep us from losing it completely. Molly helps."

"You're more open-minded than most humans." It was one of the reasons Kang got along so well with Rory.

"Why is she here with you tonight?"

"I've been places that no human has ever dreamed of being, and lived a very long time. You learn to accept things aren't always going to be the same and the universe doesn't care that you think they should be." He chuckled, finishing the job of tending the injury.

"Amy was busy, and..." He hesitated. "To be honest, with everything that's happened lately, it makes me more comfortable if she's with one of us. I can't protect her from across the ship."

Kang snorted, wincing slightly at the initial sting of the antibiotics. "That's a lesson a bunch of people on this ship need to learn still."

He nodded, "I understand completely."
