Undergoing the re-write of more or less this whole story. Wish me luck!

Chapter One

Slowly the TARDIS began to materialize, at the last stop The Doctor had to make that day Dårlig Ulv-Stranden, but known to them as Bad Wolf Bay. Funny, it would be the second time he left her there. Jackie stepped out first, phone in hand, wrapping her cardigan around her. "Norway! Again, I'm going to have to phone Pete, get him to send a zeppelin over, he's on the nursery run. I had a son, do you remember doctor?"

"Oh, yeah," The Doctor said, leaving Jackie to continue babbling about Tony and how big he's gotten and how much he looks like his big sister, but the doctor wasn't listening. He was too busy thinking about what he was going to have to do. Leave her there. Or maybe he didn't have to he supposed. She should stay here, really but will she want to? He can't force her to stay against her will. He loves her way to much.

After he and Donna exited the TARDIS, Rose hesitantly stepped out, the metacrisis close ehind her. She looked around and wrinkled her nose, "But this, this is the parallel universe. Doctor what are we doing here?"

The Doctor gulped, and scratched the back of his neck like he always did when he was nervous. Rose knew this move all to well, and looked at him, confused and what was happening.

"We're here Rose, to give you a choice."

"What kind of choice?" she asked, intruiged

"You can come back with me, and Donna, on the TARDIS same old life…"

"Or…?"

"Or you could stay, with him." He gestured to the metacrisis

"Why would I wanna do that," Rose half laughed.

"Rose, he is me. But with a catch. He's human, he's only got one life. He's got the same memories and thoguths and feelings and mannerisms as me, but he could spend his forever with you. You could settle down, have a family and stuff."

"And he's exactly the same?"

"Yep," both The Doctor's said at the same time.

"aright then doctors, tell me this," she turned to the metacrisis "Bad Wolf Bay, this spot, on the worst day of my life, what was the last think you said to me?"

"I said Rose Tyler," he said stoically, because he had a feeling that he knew what the outcome of this was goging to be.

"and how was that sentence going to end."

"does it need saying?"

Rose sighed, and the turned back to the original doctor. "Go on then doctor, what was the end of that sentence?"

The Doctor took a deep breath. He had to say it, it could be his last chance, and she had to know. "Rose Tyler I-I love you. Okay? I love you more than I have ever loved anyone else, and that scares me Rose. It scares me how much you mean to me. I nearly drowned myself when I first lost you, what if I lose you again? I don't know what I'll do."

"If you leave me here, you'll lose me forever."

"And I know that, but at least I know that you'll be safe. Rose you could have a happy family here."

"But that's not what I want."

"I've got two minuets Rose, until the TARDIS loses powe. And if your not in the TARDIS in the next two minuets, she will take off without you, because she has to. And if it comes to that, I'm sorry. And if you decide to stay, you promise me Rose, promise me you'll remember that I love you."

Rose nodded and The Doctor turned around heading inside the TARDIS. Donna stood by the console, checkigng the co-orinates and The Doctor leaned against the railings staring longingly at the door. He really hoped that she would come through.

Outside, Rose turned to fce jakcie and hugged her tightly. "I'm sorry mum," she said "but I have to go, I love him so much."

Jackie sniffed and nodded "I understand Rose, but I'm still gonna miss you. Give that alien twat a slap from me yeah? And never forget your old mum! If you get a chance just call me or write a letter or something, please?"

"I will, I promise."

Then Rose turned to the metacrisis. "I'm sorry, you understand right?"

"Of course I do Rose, and you should go with him."

"You could always come with us?" she said

"No thanks," he said "The Doctor gave me a TARDIS coral that should grow in a few years so, i'll be off travelling this universe. Every universe needs a doctor."

"Good luck," Rose smieled, giving him a light kiss on the cheek before turning and running straight through the TARDIS doors, just as it began to dematirialize with her safely inside, just.

She ran straight into The Doctor and kissed him, hard, clutching him by the lapels of his jacket. He was a bit alarmed, but kissed her back all the same, and when they both stopped for air, he rested his forehead against hers, breathing heavily. "I thought you weren't going to come," he said

"I will always follow you wherever you go doctor, you got that? I'm never ever leaving again."

"I think that's what usually gets you into trouble," he said with a chuckle

"For you? It's worth it."

"Forever?"

"Forever."

So yeah I did change the first chapter quite a lot, but nothing important was left out and the main premise of rose and the doctor being together still stands.
