Chapter 1: Don't Take My Son!
(Scootaloo's POV)
Blood, so much blood and all of it is mine. My son lies crying before me as I drift in and out of sleep. Should've known trying to run while healing from a C-section was a bad idea, now I'm going to die alone and my son will never know me. I hear a strange noise, my vision blurs and finally blackens as I hear a voice speak in a worried tone.
"Tick Tock, grab the infant. Derpy, check her pulse." The stallion who said it seemed to be mature. I felt a touch on my hoof and someone resting their head against it. I tried to open my eyes but I couldn't. After five minute I heard soft weeping. I felt soft blows against my chest as I heard a mare begin crying
"No, you can't die. You have a son to take care of. He needs you. You can't leave him now." I realized that the mare had detected no pulse or heartbeat. The soft blows continued as I tried to open my eyes but something wouldn't let me. Suddenly I felt the blows stop as I heard another stallion speak.
"Derpy, she's gone. There is nothing you can do for her now. We should find her relatives so her son will at least be with family." Suddenly I felt magic surround me as I felt all my wounds heal and I felt my hair twist into a fancy hairstyle.
"It is a tradition for a unicorn to prepare a body for burial in Neighers. often with a removal of external wounds and a fancy hairstyle. But since she was found by a general's son..." I heard loud hoofsteps, a door slam and then about a half an hour later the door reopened and more hoofsteps followed by out of breath panting.
"It's a ceremonial burial blanket to shield the body from evil spirits and a letter of condolence to the relatives closed with a family crest wax seal." he spoke as I felt the blanket cover me. I heard my son crying and I wanted to wake up and hold him but something prevented me from doing so. Suddenly I heard a howl of a timber wolf and I realized they had been attracted to my blood.
"HEAD TO THE TARDIS NOW" I heard one of the stallions shout.
"But what about finding the foal's family?" I heard the other stallion ask.
"NO TIME! TARDIS NOW!" I heard the first stallion shout. I heard the door slam and the same noise as before. then I heard pawsteps as timber wolves surrounded me. I laid completely still until I heard a voice shout.
"LEAVE SCOOTALOO ALONE!" Sandy came to my rescue. I didn't see the battle but I heard the timber wolves yelp and run so she beat them into running away. I heard ponies shouting but it began to be muffled as I faded into deep slumber. I wonder if those three took my son. please I want my son back. don't take my son!

First chapter. Hope this is enjoyable so far. This idea has been in my head for a while now.
Chapter 2: We Have To Go Back
(Derpy Hooves' POV)
I entered the TARDIS alongside the doctor and Tick Tock while holding the infant. We all breathed a sigh of relief as the TARDIS started up on her own since she sensed her doctor in danger. The ride was smooth for the most part but I saw Tick Tock glaring at the doctor and I know he was mad. When we got to the Ponyville of our dimension I could sense Tick Tock was going to yell at the doctor. He didn't, he just said "I'm going for a walk, I'll catch up sooner or later." and walked away. I chased after him while still holding the foal. After a while I found him sitting by a tree facing the sunset.
I sat next to him and said "Is something wrong?" He just sighed. I placed my hoof on his shoulder and looked at the infant.
"I know you want to go back to give the infant to his real family but the doctor told me that the TARDIS has a mind of her own. If she thinks the doctor is in danger she'll take him to another dimension to keep him safe."
Tick Tock made no expression but I could tell he was trying to smile as he said "So she cares for him? That makes sense considering we already met a free thinking A.I, granted one based off the creator but still." at first I was confused but then I remembered the griffin we met. the doctor says he'll find a way to save him but I'm not sure it could be possible.
I smiled and told Tick Tock "We'll just have to wait a day or so before we can return to the infant's home dimension. Until then this infant needs us." I nuzzled the infant who let out a cute babble. I then handed the infant to Tick Tock. He seemed out of his element at first but then I saw in his eyes he had connected with the infant. Both of them were very young when they were taken from their families and Tick Tock wanted the infant to have the family he never had. I then realized we forgot to give the infant a name and said "so what should we name him? Or do we just call him the infant the entire time?" I read the emotion in his eyes: he already picked a name for the child.
His eyes twinkled as he said "I think we should name him Lightwing the second. After my brother." I was surprised. Lightwing had hurt Tick Tock emotionally so to see Tick Tock name a child after his late brother was a sign he had forgiven Lightwing. We headed back to the TARDIS and we met up with the doctor. We fed Lightwing the second and placed him in a crib the doctor bought and decided to head to bed. I went to sleep knowing tomorrow would be a busy day.
Author's Note
A rather cute chapter. I decided after the emotion fest of the last chapter I would include a cute chapter to calm the readers. I felt Tick Tock naming the infant after his brother would be a symbolic form of forgiveness for what happened. Hope you enjoy. But before you go. You have to decide what happens next. Which dimension should I set the next chapter in, The Motherly Scootaloo Dimension, or The Doctor Whooves and Assistant Dimension. Your choice will affect how the story plays out. I will tally all the comments and decide based off the comments. choose wisely.
