Remember when Martha fast-forwarded through parts of the video in Human Nature and Family of Blood?
This is what she was actually fast-forwarding through.

#let me tell you something about this scene okay #her little pause before she says ‘and the baby’ #like she’s not sure if she’s going to say it #but then she figures okay why not say it I’ve got nothing left to lose #and that little smile on her face when she does #because for all the heartache she’s feeling right now and has felt since she and the Doctor were separated #there’s this one thing that will always keep them together #but then the Doctor says ‘you’re not…?’#it’s this look of sheer terror and sadness on his face #that is not the face of a man who thinks the woman he loves is pregnant with another man’s child #he thinks she’s pregnant with his child #and now she’s trapped in a parallel world where he will never be able to reach her #but if she’d told him right then and there that she was pregnant with his child he would have torn both universes apart to get to them #and he can’t do that because he has to protect the universe and stay detached and nothing should cloud his vision #and Rose knows that because she knows him better than anyone so seeing that look on his face she says ‘it’s mum’s’ #and then that look of relief on his face is worth the lie #they only have two minutes and sometimes a lie is kinder than the truth

A lost little boy is always a lost little boy at heart.
I love Wilf so much because while the Doctor also needed his companions, they needed him just as much. Except for Wilf. Wilfred had seen life, lived a long life, and although he wasn’t a centuries-old Timelord, was to all intents and purposes the older of the two. He was the one offering the exact support the Doctor needed when he, as an old man, was ordered the impossible: not to die. It was the sort of reassurance of the impossible that parents give to their kids when they realize all they need is even just a token shelter from reality.
I get the distinct impression that the Doctor’s father was at the least neglectful and dismissive, if not an emotionally abusive arseface. And the Doctor and Wilfred recognized each other. Wilfred saw a terrified, brave kid, and the Doctor saw the dad he never had.
I just cried a little from that and I’m not ashamed to admit it
