Date: February 13th, 2010
Patient Nate: Martha A. Jones Ph.D
Diagnosis: Left behind
Purpose: The wrong sort of doctor.
It’s not so much about being left behind, rather just knowing he was clueless to that fact that I loved him. An’ I still love him, but Tom is my focus now. And I’m madly in love with him.
You don’t sound sure
I traveled to the end of the universe with the Doctor; I’ve seen more than most humans will ever see in their lifetimes. Of course I’m not sure; sometimes I wonder if walking out was right. But he doesn’t need me, he needs Rose. I could have fallen for Owen if not for Thomas. Now I’m replacing him, that’s proving to be harder than I thought it would be.
And Gwen?
We never really got as close as Owen and I, or Ianto and I. Sure I’m going miss her. She was beautiful and lovely, an’ she was full of so much life.
Do you regret not getting to know her better?
Sometimes yeah. I watch the others hurt an’ I wonder what’s wrong with me that I don’t miss them both that much.
How do you feel when you watch them?
Sad, I feel like I should be able to help them, but I don’t know how. Ianto just keeps making coffee for everyone, I watch him get teary when he prepares a cup for Gwen or Owen and realizes they aren’t here anymore. They don’t mean to hurt Mickey an’ Jake, but they miss Gwen and Owen.
How do you feel about the new team?
I’ve gotten to bond with both of them. It’s helpful in a way because the three of us will be much closer when they’re ready to really accept us. It probably sounds strange, but its helping us become stronger so that when the time comes, we can be strong for them.
What worries you the most about what they’re struggling with?
I keep waiting for one of them-or all of them to quit, to just walk out one day because it’s not worth it.
Is it?
Most days, yes. I can tell they honestly want to protect this planet. They’re just a little lost right now-and who can blame them.
What can you do to help them?
Just be there I guess. They’re starting to come around slowly-Ianto seems a little more open these days, he’s recovered the quickest, but then there are days where he’s quiet and sad again.
How do you feel about the year you lost?
I’ve been seeing someone about it for awhile now, it’s getting better everyday. I didn’t suffer the same way Jack or the Doctor did. Thomas has also been very helpful and supportive of me.
Now, when is the wedding?
Two months, Oi! my mother is ecstatic. I am too, actually.
Martha, do you feel the need to continue speaking with me?
It’s up to you, but I’m feeling better.
Right then, Martha I’m clearing you for active duty. Good luck and you have my number should you need something.
Session Summary: Martha is doing wonderfully; she’s obviously a very strong woman. It’s a great pleasure to know I can discharge her from my services.
