Forever Linked

Disclaimer: I own nothing of Doctor who...if I did, Rose would travel with the Doctor forever.

Spoilers: Journey's End


Rose stood staring up at the stars, eyeing everything as she felt the world turn beneath her feet. The sound of footsteps made her shift, she found her brother…Anthony 'Tony' Reese Tyler was now fifty-three years old and her only remaining relative alive.

Her husband, the clone Doctor died six months after his arrival in the parallel world, leaving her pregnant with their child.

In the end, the child's building Artron energy from her Time Lord genes had changed Rose…turning her into a Gallifreyan herself. The Bad Wolf, which laid dormant in DNA, emerged and killed her child because of the Vortex power. While she could handle it…her unborn daughter had been unable.

Callisandastria Martha Tyler was stillborn upon her arrival into the world without her heart beating, Rose laid the child to rest beside her father.

"Come on sis, time to go." Tony eyed her, taking in the fact she still looked twenty-one years old and while her hair was no longer blond…she remained the same.

Rose looked at the stone before her, she bent down and kissed it. "I love you both, I shall never forget you, either of you."

She ran her hand across the stone and took in what it said.

"When I get to the other side, I shall never forget you…never." She sighed and moved to the stone laid next to the one her husband and daughter shared. She placed her hand on it and smiled. "I love you both, I know you never expected this but I'm leaving…Tony has Diana and the rest of the family. I can't watch anyone else die.

"I'll always love you Mum, you too Dad. You may not have been my birth father but I never thought of you like that. You were just my Dad." She smiled, "bye guys."

She eyed the stone and smiled, reading the name.

Rose turned to her brother and eyed him, "I'm going to go now…will you be alright?"

Tony nodded and held out a small wrapped box, "John wanted me to give it to you, he said one day you'd need it and that when it was your time…you'd need to wear it. I figured he meant when you died but seeing as you're leaving."

Rose took the box and opened it to find a medallion on a silver chain. On it was what she recognized from a chest on the TARDIS…a chest in the Doctor's room. She turned it over and read the back, it had a small inscription in both Gallifreyan and English.

This symbolizes that

Reesilon, son of Bryoniusdomalion, child of Gallifrey

is bonded in marriage to

Rosillia, daughter of Time, child of Gallifrey

from union till beyond death

She found a piece of paper in the box and she read it, finding it in the Doctor's neat English script.

Rose, my Rosillia,

May you find him Rose, he needs you as much as I did. I knew it wouldn't be long but when my mind touched yours, I could see your timeline even with my limited Time Lord abilities. I saw my death, I saw the death of our beloved child but I saw what she did to you.

I loved you just as much as he did and because of that, you have to find him…help him. You are so much, you are the prophecy written about by the Gallifreyan Visionary years before the Time War came to a close. This is the prophecy…

A primitive child shall become one with time and save the Time Lords from death, they shall live through this child…forever knowing greatness. From the womb of death shall come the giver of life…the Savior of Gallifrey. Born the Bonded Soul of a child of Gallifrey, her destroyer, destined and forever linked.

It spoke of you, I told you what Bonded Souls were and we could never connect because we were never meant to…it has to be him, you're his Bonded Soul not mine. You shall give birth to Time Lords in the future, through you Gallifrey shall not perish or face death because it will live on through you.

You looked into the Time Vortex and survived, becoming one with it during the change. From our daughter's death you will give life, life to Time Lords. Even she would want that, she would be like you after all.

Farewell my Rose, you are brilliant and you will be for the centuries to come.

John

Rose nodded and placed the medallion around her neck, eyeing her brother as she pocketed the letter. "I love you Tony."

"I love you too Rosie." He called her by the nickname he gave her as a child, it would be the last time. She hugged him and stepped back, allowing all the energy Vortex to rise to the surface and in an instant she disappeared…her thought was of the Doctor in the year 2010.
