Disclaimer: I don't own Doctor Who…unfortunately…it just sucks…
A/N: Okay, so I was thinking to myself, "I think it would be a good idea to update soon before my reviewers decide to stop reading and leave me all alone in the rain." And as you all know, that would leave me extremely depressed. I'm a bad person and beg your forgiveness for not updating in so long, but in all honesty, I was hoping more people would review. And then I saw that I was blocking anonymous reviewers, so I took that down. You all can now review, so please do! But anyway, I thought you might want to know what happens. So, here you go!
"She looks like an angel," Jack said, standing next to the Doctor. The Time Lord had put Rose onto one of the beds in the med bay and then revived the Captain. The Doctor hadn't said a word since then, he just stood there, daring to hope that maybe, just maybe, Rose would open her eyes.
"She is an angel," he finally whispered. "We need to take her home." Jack nodded and left. He knew that the Doctor needed to be alone with Rose for a bit, to say goodbye.
As he heard Jack's footsteps grow quieter, the Doctor broke down. "Oh Rose, why didn't you just stay on the TARDIS?" he cried, slamming his fists on the bed. "It's not fair! I only just got you back, I can't lose you again!" Tears fell onto the bed as he took a deep breath and his own voice sounded through his head. "You whither and you die. Imagine watching that happen to someone that you…"
"Love," he finished the thought out loud. He loved her and this was the fourth time he had tried to tell her and she hadn't heard him.
He turned to leave, switching off the lights as he reached the door. But then, a gold light flashed and reflected off the hallway in front of him. And then, it came…
"What, no goodnight kiss?"
The Doctor hit the lights and spun around, watching as Rose sat up in bed, smiling at him. She looked exactly the same, the same lovely hair, same dancing eyes.
"Rose? What…are…how are you here?" he stuttered. Then his hearts broke. "This isn't real, it can't be."
She slid out of bed and walked over to him. Rose grabbed his hand and pulled it up so that it was cupping her cheek, staring into his eyes the whole time. Slowly, she leaned into him, and he into her and their lips met. Rose gave a small moan and the Doctor smiled. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into his chest. He held her close, running his hand up the small of her back, sending shivers throughout her body. He let her go and they stared at each other for a minute before…
Slap! Rose slapped the Doctor across the face!
"You could've gotten yourself killed! And telling Jack to come after me with a needle! How could you?"
"Well, you're definitely real," the Doctor said, rubbing his face. Rose stopped and looked at him for a minute. He thought she was going to slap him again, but instead, she started crying. "What's wrong?" he asked, wrapping his arms around her and holding her again.
"I was starting to think that you had given up, just left me, that I was never going to see you again!" she cried, wrapping her arms around his waist.
"Funny, cause I felt that way not five minutes ago," he whispered. "How are you alive?"
"I'm not completely sure, I guess that my body had to change in order for me to…" she trailed off.
"Have our child?" he asked, grinning. She looked up in shock, tears still falling. "Jack figured it out because apparently, I'm really dumb for a super genius," he said, a puzzled look on his face. Rose giggled. "And as for never seeing me again, if I couldn't find another way, I was going to let the universes collapse just so I could feel you in my arms one last time," he breathed. She smiled.
"Yeah, well good. And hey, now you don't have to worry about being alone ever again because apparently, I'm a Time Lady now and I'm willing to guess that our daughter is one too. You have a family who will stay with you until the end of time."
"So, it's a girl," the Doctor replied, causing Rose to blush. He leaned in and kissed her again. Rose gave herself fully, melting into her Doctor's arms. She felt him and knew that he too was giving himself completely in this kiss.
When they finally pulled apart, Rose caught her breath. "I forgot what a good kisser you were."
The Doctor grinned and at that moment, Jack came walking in.
"Hey Doc, what are we gonna…tell her…uhh, what's going on?" he asked, seeing Rose standing there, alive and well."
"Well, I guess I'm a Time Lady now Jack, so I just regenerated. I don't know why it took so long though…" she said, frowning.
"Maybe because you're still partially human, or because it's your first time," the Doctor suggested.
"Okay, whatever you say," Jack replied. He looked confused, so Rose ran over to him and gave him a peck on the cheek. Jack smiled. "I'm glad you're alright doll."
"Ahem," the Doctor coughed. Rose smiled and ran back to him, grabbing his arm.
"Can we get out of here now?" Jack asked.
"Sure, let's get you home Rose," the Doctor said, walking with her to the control room.
"Good, there's someone I want you to meet," Rose replied, smiling.
The Doctor grinned and ran up to the console, pressing buttons, pulling levers and dancing around, like he was back to his old self. "You two are going to want to hold on to something, it can get a bit bumpy, going between realities, which is possible thanks to Sec weakening the barrier considerable. One good thing the Daleks did."
Rose and Jack ran up the console and grabbed on as the TARDIS began shaking as they crossed through the void and entered "Pete's World".
"This is your captain speaking," the Doctor said, peeking around at Rose. "We're experiencing some turbulence which will pass momentarily."
"Hey! I'm the captain here!" Jack exclaimed.
"Ah, but you aren't the one flying are you?"
After a minute, the TARDIS stopped and the trio heard Jackie screaming from outside. Rose smiled at her Doctor and ran to the door, throwing it open.
"Hey mum, I'm home!" she called as the Doctor came up to stand next to her.
"Jackie! I'm back! Did ya miss me?"
"I'm gonna kill you!" she screamed, approaching the ship.
"I think I'll wait in here," he said, backing up. Rose sighed, grabbed his arm and ran outside. Jack followed them out, closing the TARDIS behind him.
"Rose, where have you been? You've been gone for three weeks! We were worried sick!" Jackie exclaimed, running up and hugging her daughter.
"Three weeks?" Rose asked, looking at the Doctor.
"Time shift through the void?" he said, shrugging.
"What happened?" her mother asked.
"Oh, you know mum," Rose started casually, "getting captured by Daleks, reuniting with the Doctor, dying, regenerating, same old same old," she said, hugging her mother back.
"You mean he died and regenerated? But he doesn't look any different…"
"No mum, I died, I regenerated, and I have no idea why I don't look any different," Rose emphasized. Jackie looked at her for a moment and then smiled.
"Oh honey! I'm so happy for you!" she exclaimed, pulling her daughter into a bear hug. Then she turned to the Doctor and pulled him in. "Come here you!"
The Doctor was shocked at first, thinking that he was going to be slapped again, but hugged Jackie when he realized that no physical harm was going to come to him.
"Mummy!" a small voice exclaimed. Jackie, Rose, the Doctor and Jack all looked towards the house and saw Pete, Mickey and a cute little girl with sandy blonde hair and big brown eyes running towards them. Rose laughed, bent over and scooped the little girl up in her arms.
"Hey sweetie, have you been a good girl for grandmum and granddad?" Rose asked, causing the little girl to smile and nod her head. Rose looked over at the Doctor and saw his eyes fixed on their daughter. She smiled.
"Honey, Samantha?" she said, getting her daughter's attention away from Jack who was grinning at her and making her laugh. "I want you to meet someone." She turned so that they were facing the Doctor. "This man here is your dad."
Samantha looked the Doctor up and down, and then reached out her arms, waiting for him to take her. He looked at Rose, who nodded. He wrapped his arms around and took her in his arms. He felt her wrap her tiny arms around his neck.
"Are you really my daddy?" she asked, staring at him.
"Yes pumpkin, sorry I haven't been around."
"That's okay daddy, mummy told me everything. Can you really do all those things that she says you can?"
He looked at Rose who shrugged. "Our adventures sort of became bed time stories."
"Yes honey, I really can do all those things, and you'll be able to do them too, once you're a little older."
He looked at his daughter, the youngest Time Lady. She was beautiful, sharing the looks of both him and…
"Rose!"
