-A month and a half later-

The Doctor sat on the bed in the medi-bay of his TARDIS waiting nervously for Martha to return. All of the items that he had collected from during his stay in London had been packed up and placed in the TARDIS this morning. The room he had come to recognize as his own was once more Martha's guest room. That was alright, though, as with the loss of his room he had also gained the freedom of no longer being under the medical injunction. The lost, lonely Time Lord who was close to death was gone and replaced by the Doctor. His body, while still lithe and scarred, once more was healed. He felt better than when he first regenerated into the body and he couldn't thank his human companions enough for saving him. He looked up anxiously as Martha entered with Jack and Osiris by her side. He swallowed hard, his eyes immediately dropping to the ground.

"Oi, don't look like that. They came in with me to celebrate that your blood results have come back negative for any STI's," Martha informed him with a smile. He looked up at her a smile crossing his own face. He had feared for all these months that he was infecting his lover but he was clean. "I still want you to come up for follow up test in two months and then another six months after that, but everything looks good."

"So I am free to travel?" The Doctor asked.

"Yes, you are free to travel and with my permission this time too," Martha teased him. She wasn't stupid and knew that he had traveled for days and maybe even weeks at a time with Jack. The only problem was that she could never prove it. Still, he had shown that he was able to be responsible and take his medications, eat and rest without someone having to remind him constantly. He even took the time to come visit Ian when he needed to talk. He no longer had daily sessions with Ian, but he was scheduled for weekly sessions for as long as he continued to need them. He didn't have to go weekly due to having the TARDIS, but it was nice to know that Ian would always be there when he needed him. It was due to his progress in therapy as well as his willingness to take care of himself that allowed Martha to release him from the injunction earlier than she originally planned.

"Thank you, Martha," He told her sincerely as he wrapped her in a hug. She hugged him back tightly.

"You haven't seen the last of me, mister. I expect you in here for your appointments on time and with no excuses, do you understand?" Martha wondered. He nodded releasing the hug so that he could salute her with two fingers. Martha walked over to Jack giving him a hug next. "Take good care of him."

"I will," Jack promised. She left them alone in the medi-bay as she showed herself off the TARDIS, knowing that the Doctor was going to be okay. Once she was gone, Jack turned to the Doctor. "Where to now? You promised that you would take me to Woman's Wept to skate on the waves."

"And we will. First, there is somebody I need to see," The Doctor told him. While he had kept his promise to Wilf and appeared occasionally at either his newspaper stand or floating above the hill, there was still someone he avoided. She beyond any of them needed an apology because without her they never would have been able to treat him in the first place. Setting the coordinates he kept the time the same as he jumped to a small home in Croyden. He took a deep breath before heading to the door of the TARDIS and opening it.

"You're just in time for tea," Sarah Jane called to him happily from her front porch. He stepped out with Jack and Osiris pulling the door closed behind him. Walking to the steps he hesitated as he looked up at her. "Come on the kettle will be cold at this rate."

"Sarah Jane, I'm sorry," The Doctor told her. Sarah Jane smiled and shook her head.

"You've gotten sentimental in your old age," She informed him. He smiled back at her.

"Yeah, I guess I have," He replied. Taking Jack's hand he started up the steps for tea.
