	I woke up to see a little purple filly next to me. Filling the small spot of my bed where he should be. I smile at Dinky. Then shake her to wake up.
"DINKY! Wake up, what are you doing here?" I ask. Dinky moans. "Dinky, why are you here, did you have a nightmare?"
"Mmm... mommy, I want to sleep, today is Saturday," Dinky says. I sigh. 
"Wake up, you have a Doctors appointment in-" I check my alarm clock "- An hour! Dinky, get up, we need to give you a bath," I tell her. Dinky turns to me.
"Fine. But I get to read the rest of my books all day," Dinky says. I smirk. 
"Okay, but get up. Now," I say. Dinky lifts her torso up, before hopping off my bed, and to my bathroom Where she always take her baths.
Dinky climbs in the bath tub, and I turn the water on. "Dinky, can you tell me why you were in my bed last night?"
"I-I felt really lonely. And... I don't know. Lately, my life is all weird," Dinky says. I sigh. She's like him, I think. 
"How so? Why is it so weird?" I ask. Dinky looks down. Not answering. "Dinky, please. You can tell me anything, I promise," I tell Dinky. She looks up.
"Okay. I-I noticed that, my classes are so easy. I excel at them and... I read at an unimaginable speed, and I have these really weird skills and ability's. Athletics and in class. Its strange. Really strange," Dinky explains. I smile.
"Dinky, your just a special pony, that's all. You're different, and that's not a problem. I mean, take my eye. It's all weird and goes every where, but that's not bad, Dinky. You should accept who you are, and maybe be happy about. You're better than those mean bullies, right?" I ask. Dinky tries to offer a smile but I see right though it.
"Now, no more worry. Let's get you all dried off and ready for your appointment," I say. I turn of the water and help Dinky out of the tub. I grab a towel to dry her off, and walk her downstairs for breakfast.
"Hi, mom," Sparkler says. She's eating a bowl of cereal at the counter. "So, how was your morning with Dinky?"
"Fine, Sparkler. I didn't think you would be up so early," I say. Sparkler rolls her eyes.
"Duh. I have to catch up on Operation Love, it's totally a full day of binge watching. All my friends have totally caught up,"  Sparkler explains. I chuckle.
"Sorry to burst your bubbles, muffin, but you have a doctors appointment, so does Dinky, and yours is first," I tell Sparkler. Sparkler sighs in frustration.
"Okay, but make sure it's quick, I have an entire two seasons! And the new episode for tonight!" Sparkler says. Twelve year old's. So moody, I think. I see Dinky finishing a bowl of cereal, and I grab a muffin from the fresh baked basket of last night.
"Okay, we have ten more minutes. Let's go!" I say. Sparkler and Dinky trot outside. I scarf down my blueberry muffin and trot out after them.
We trot over to the hospital. Dinky and Sparkler's doctor, Amelia Pond. She became there doctor when I told her that both of them were his children.
We sit in the waiting room. Just waiting for the name to get called. Sparkler already knows she has to hearts, but not why. But Dinky doesn't, and is not a pony at all. With all her qualities, I think it's safe to say that she's a time lord. This is not safe at all. This isn't good at all. She's his. She's bound to be like him. She's bound to be the next Time Lord.
"Sparkler Hooves?" I hear a voice ask. It's Amelia. I look up trot over to the mare, motioning for Dinky and Sparkler to come. "Come with me," She says, leading us to a small room. She closes the door behind her. "Okay, Sparkler, just lay down onto your back on the bed," Amy instructs. Sparkler gulps and lays down.
"Okay, Sparkler. Just let me check you heart beats," Amy puts her stethoscope on Sparklers chest, first the right side, the the left. "Good, it's all good. Now, has there been anything unusual happening? Any sort of changes of such?" Amy asks. Sparkler thinks for a second and nods. Sparkler leans closer to Amy's ear and whispers something. "Oh, yes. Puberty. Um, is that all?" Amy asks. Sparkler nods. I sigh in relief. She's not like him. "Okay, I'm going to leave you two fillies in here, while I talk to your mother out in the hall, okay?" Amy takes me out into the hall, closing the door.
"Okay, so, I'm sure you know of her normal pony changes, as her age usually has. Now, she does have two hearts. Like him," Amy says. I sigh. I know that already. "I know I already told you, but she has no problems with them. Also, she may have two hearts, but she is not, fully a Time Lord. She has no traits like that of any sort except his hearts. So, I'm sure you're very happy about that," Amy explains. Good. She isn't a Time Lord. "I guess it's time to tell Dinky about her two hearts, shouldn't we," Amy says. I nod. We open the door, and come back in.
"Okay, time for Dinky's turn!" Amy says. I suck in a breath. "Dinky, I want you to do the same things that Sparkler did," Amy instructs again. Dinky climbs up, laying on her back. "Now, I'm going to tell you a few things about your self. It's going to be shocking, and you must promise to never tell anyone," Amy says. Dinky nods. Crossing her heart.
"Okay... Dinky, you have two hearts. You were born with two hearts, and one is supposed to be a back up. You will live very long with them," Amy explains. "Now for the check up," Amy says. She listens to Dinky's heart beats. And smiles. "All good there. Now, is there any symptoms, any weird happenings?" Amy asks. Dinky nods.
"I've been excelling in every subject, I can hear extremely well, I learn really fast, my athletic ability's are really different, and so on, so fourth," Dinky explains. I look down at the floor.
"Thank you for the information, again, I must talk with you mother," Amy brings me out again. Quickly shutting the door. "Her hearts are fine. Nothings wrong there. But... by the sounds of it," She leans in,  because Dinky might hear. "She's a Time Lord. Her cutiemark will be an hours glass, and she will soar the cosmos like her father. I'm so sorry. She's a Time Lord. Almost all of him is her body, and both unicorns will be able to regenerate. That's why they are unicorns," Amy explains. My heart drops. She exactly like him. She will become the next Doctor. Her life will be risk so many times. Her life will not be safe..
"Okay... Okay..." I try to stop them, but tears start to fall. I try to close my eyes, squeeze them shut, but I can't stop them.
"Look, I know you just want her to be safe. But, this is her destiny. You can't take that away from her. I know how close you were with him. I can only imagine it. But, Derpy, both our lives have been risked more than a few times with him. But we still live today. And if he didn't hurt us, than he surely won't hurt his daughter," Amy explains. I look at her. And shake my head.
"I can't let that happen, Amelia. I can't let her be risked. I can't let Sparkler or Dinky be risked like I was. I never even told him that I had Sparkler, and I never got a chance to tell him about Dinky, either. He left because he knew I couldn't function like I used. But he never knew why! We can't communicate with him, we can't tell him anything. Or he will come back, take my children out into the cosmos, and I'll find them dead in the TARDIS when he comes back!" I cry. Amelia shakes her head.
"No, Derpy, it's him, were talking about. And your children should know who there father is, and they should get to choose," Amy says. I shake my head.
"No! That's my final answer! I'm not letting my children go with a crazy pony who TIME TRAVELS!" I say. Amelia sighs and nod. Letting me make this choice. "I wish I was never tied with him. I wish that he never left, and I wish that... we never... had are little sequence of love. But now, now I have two beautiful daughters with him, and he gave me them," I tell Amy. I open the door to the room. "Come on, fillies, were leaving. The appointment is over," I say. The two unicorns trot out, acting like they heard nothing, when the clearly heard everything.
