After bidding Donna goodnight, the Doctor decided that he wasn’t tired but he might as well do some maintenance on the TARDIS until he was. After about ten minutes under the console he realised that he had been just staring into space, thinking about how brilliant Donna was. Not many people could have made the choice that she did, to share his burden. Coming out from under the console the Doctor decided that when he woke up in the morning he would make Donna some tea and toast and spend the day in the TARDIS library. Thinking what a great plan it was, as he made his way to his room, he heard Donna wake with a shout and bolted to her room. Pushing her door open he saw her sitting up looking scared with tears welling up in her eyes.
“Donna, it’s ok, you’re in bed on the TARDIS,” the Doctor said softly as he sat down and pulled her into a gentle hug. She hugged him back and he could hear her breathing slow down as she calmed.
“Do you want to talk about it?” he inquired gently when Donna pulled out of the hug and wiped her eyes.
“No, not really Doctor, but thanks for asking,” Donna said with a small smile. “I’ll be fine now,” she said with a yawn. The Doctor frowned not believing her but letting the subject drop as she was fast falling asleep again.
“Ok. Good night Donna,” he said softly so as not to disturb her and walked quietly to the door, closing it on his way out. “Keep an eye on her for me,” he asked the TARDIS and got a soft hum in return.
The next morning and most of the day was spent in the library reading; well, Donna was reading while the Doctor kept looking at her with a wide smile at how her enjoyment made her look like a kid in a candy store. At about lunch time the Doctor realised he was hungry and looked up to ask Donna what she wanted for lunch. As he did so he found her walking in with a plate of sandwiches for them to share, and tea. Smiling brightly at her, he snagged a sandwich when she put the plate on the coffee table.
To his absolute delight it was a banana one.
“Yum! Thanks Donna,” he said in sheer delight. Donna just smiled and rolled her eyes at him fondly. When the food was all eaten, mainly by the Doctor, and everything was washed up and put away the Doctor took Donna to the lounge so that they could watch some TV. After a couple of hours Donna was starting to get sleepy and deciding to go to bed.
“Well I don’t know about you, Doctor, but I’m going to turn in,” she said sleepily.
“Donna, before you go I wanted to talk to you about your nightmare,” he said softly so as to not upset her. Watching her he could see she was torn between telling him what he wanted to know and telling him to bugger off. Telling him won out, apparently.
“OK Doctor, what do you want to know?” she asked.
“Just what the dream was about and what I can do to help,” he said gently, taking her hand and giving it a soft squeeze.
Smiling softly at him, Donna sighed before stating softly, “It was just all the people that died in Pompeii and it got to me, that’s all. As for what to do to help me you did, that hug was the best thing for nightmares.”
Smiling at her he could see that she was telling him the truth so he let it drop. “Alright then, I’m glad I could help,” he said as he watched her yawn again. “Off to bed for you I think, Young Lady,” he joked and earned a slap to the arm for his troubles. Laughing softly he watched as Donna walked away and stopped at the door way before turning to look at him.
“Goodnight Doctor,” she muttered sleepily and walked off again.
“Goodnight Donna,” he replied softly.
