The Bells of Saint John [Part 2]

Inside, Maitland house, Kitchen, Night...

"Get out of the kitchen!" Lexi whispered harshly to her children as she entered the kitchen from the sitting room. "This isn't our house."

"Look at this." Sky grinned as he reached into a cupboard. "They are stocked with Jammie Dodgers."

"Sometimes Dad really shows through in you." Jupiter rolled her eyes, setting the kettle on the stove to boil as Sky pulled out a pack of Jammie Dodgers from the cupboard he was snooping through.

"You know, I think I'll give this to Dad to set by Clara." Sky stated before walking by Lexi who stood in the doorway that lead to the sitting room.

"Be quiet when you go through there." Lexi whispered to him. "Lucas is still asleep."

"Gotcha." Sky replied before disappearing around a corner.

"I'll be outside by the TARDIS." Jupiter told Lexi as she walked away from the stove. "The little kitchen timer should go off when the kettle reaches a boil."

"Yeah." Lexi nodded as Jupiter walked past her before walking out the door and shutting it behind her.

Lexi stood there for a moment, arms crossed as she leaned against the doorframe while thinking.

Inside, Maitland house, Lounge...

Lexi entered the sitting room from the kitchen as she walked over to the sofa where a sleeping Lucas was still fast asleep. She sighed, lightly running her hand over his forehead without waking him. She then let her eyes wander over to a laptop backpack of sorts that laid on its side by the end of the sofa. It must've gotten knocked over when Jupiter helped her move Lucas into the sitting room so he could sleep on the couch.

Lexi walked over and set the backpack back up, leaning it against the leg of the coffee table just as something shiny fell out of it.

Curious, Lexi picked it up, noticing that it was actually a watch. A vintage watch that looked to be from the late 1950s or early 1960s. The watch itself had a black clock-face with gold hands and numbers. All of that on top of a black leather band.

Lexi turned the watch over in her hands, examining it before then noticing that there was actually something engraved on the back of it.

Time is precious... Waste it wisely.  - J.H.

Lexi smiled slightly at that.

"Lex." The Doctor whispered, grabbing Lexi's hand before tugging her out of the sitting room, not giving her a chance to put the watch back where she had found it.

Later...

Lucas slowly woke to find himself laying on the Maitland's sofa. Somewhere where he definitely didn't remember going. He sat up just before the scent of freshly made tea reached his nose.

Inside, Maitland house, Kitchen...

Curious, Lucas entered the kitchen, seeing the kettle on top of the now turned-off stove with mugs sitting right next to it.

"What?" He whispered to himself, confused as he lifted the kettle.

Inside, Maitland house, Clara's room...
