Warning: post-Father's Day, by a few hours *Written for Title-a-Week 01 at characteraday. I could only think of Jeb, but realized that there was no way to make it work. Then I thought of Jenny, which works too much. Then I thought of Pete. Thanks to general_nothing for the prompt! *squishes and Jebgerbread*
Disclaimer: Doctor Who is not mine. If it was, I'd be able to watch everything before Nine and understand HALF of what you guys are talking about a quarter of the time!

My father saved the world today.
A man I’d never met until today.
He saved the world I put in danger.
He didn’t even know I was me.
All my life, my mother made him out to be perfect.
And then I met him.
He wasn’t perfect.
He was just a man.
My parents weren’t perfect.
I almost witnessed the end of their marriage.
All because of me.
My dad figured it all out.
He didn’t even question it.
And, crazy as it was... he should have.
But he didn’t.
He didn’t have to go.
But he saved the world.
