Chapter One; The Honeymoon
A great whooshing sound entered throughout the west as the Tardis slowly started to appear inside it. A few minutes later Rose stepped out of the door wearing a red and white plaid shirt with a cowhide leather vest and a white cowboy (or in her case cowgirl) hat and a pair of brown boots on her feet. She also was wearing a holster around her middle that held a pistol on either side of it. She stepped aside as the doctor came out of the Tardis from behind her wearing the same kind of style that she had accept his shirt was blue and white instead of red and white and he was wearing a black leather vest, a black hat, and black boots, although he was wearing the same holster that she had.
"Well this is it, we're here." He began. "I know, I can't believe that we actually made it!" she cried excitedly before she ran away. "Rose, now you be careful." Her husband warned knowing full well that she had had an adventurous spirit. "Oh come on Doctor you worry too much!" she cried from about twenty feet in front of him as he simply just rolled his eyes at her. After she had made it a crossed the field, she stopped and looked a paint in front of her that was tied up against its trough. "You're a beautiful girl." She said to her softly as she started to stroke her nose softly.
"Ah, that's my horse, Jasmine." Rose turned around to see a blonde haired young woman standing behind her. "Well at least she was, but I'm afraid that we're going to have to sell her." She explained. "But why?" Rose questioned as the doctor started walking a crossed the field over to them. "We just lost our farm, and we can't afford to keep her anymore." She explained. "Oh, that's horrible, I'm so sorry." Rose said with a shake of her head as she continued petting the mare. "You can have her if you'd like. I just want to make sure that she has a good home." She told her.
"I'm sorry miss, thank you for the offer but we can't take her with us." The doctor said as the woman turned around to face him. "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know you where there. I didn't see you." The woman said. "Yes, I know I run into the problem a lot." He began. "I'm the doctor by the way, and that's my wife Rose. We just got married and we're only staying here a few days. It's our honeymoon." He explained. "Well congratulations, I know you're going to love it here. My name is Loretta, Loretta Tyler." She said. "I'm sorry, what!?" Rose exclaimed as she quickly turned over to look at her. "You, you look just like me." She said as the two of them stared into each other's eyes.
"Uh Rose, could I please see you for a minute darling?" The doctor questioned as he quickly took her hand and pulled her aside. "What's going on? I know you know something that I don't." he whispered. "Loretta Tyler, my mother has told me so many stories about her and her husband Pistol Pete, they're my great great grandparents, that's who my father was named after." She explained. "You mean to tell me that Loretta is your great great grandmother?" The doctor questioned inside a whisper as he pointed over at her direction. Rose simply just nodded.
"I'm sorry, is there a problem?" Loretta asked as she arched her neck and looked over at them. "No, the doctor and I were just discussing about going for a ride." Rose answered calling over to her. "Do you want to come?" she asked before the doctor elbowed her inside the stomach. "Sure I'd love to go for one last one before I say goodbye to Jasmine for good. Just give me a minute to pack up." She answered. "Rose, you can't go riding with her." The doctor told her inside a hushed voice. "Why not? She's my grandmother." She said.
"Exactly my point!" he exclaimed. "Remember what happened before when you tried to meddle with time?" he questioned. "That was different. That was when I changed something that wasn't supposed to happen. As long as I don't change history in any way we should be fine." She said. "Alright, fine. I give up." He said with a roll of his eyes as she grinned at him. "Thank you Doctor, I knew you wouldn't let me down." She said as she grabbed ahold of his face and kissed him on the lips.
"You just have to promise me that you'll be very, very careful is that clear?" he asked her. "Crystal." She answered as she folded her arms and flashed him a sly grin before she started to walk away. "I seriously don't know what I'm going to do with you." He muttered to himself. "Uh excuse me sir what did you say that your name was?" Loretta asked as soon as she had finished saddling up her horse. "Oh uh my name is Daniel James but everyone just calls me the doctor." He explained.
"Alright then Doctor, I'm sure my husband wouldn't mind if your borrowed his horse." She told him. "Oh no, I'm fine actually." He said with a shake of his head. "Good." He added with a wave of his hand. "You're not from around here are you? I can tell by your accents." She said. "No we're not, like I said we're only staying here for a few days." He answered. "So where exactly are you from then?" she asked him as she mounted up on her horse while Rose started getting her own tacked up. "Uh, London." He answered.
Rose suddenly clutched her chest as she felt it starting to pound and clutched her teeth together as she started breathing heavily. "Rose!" the doctor exclaimed as he quickly rushed over to her side. "Rose, sweetheart are you alright?" he asked her anxiously. "Yes, yes I'm fine." She answered. "Are you sure?" he asked her as she nodded but the doctor simply just stared at her as he placed his hand upon her chest. "No you're not, you've got two heartbeats." He mumbled under his breath. "Trust me Doctor, I'm fine." She said with a nod as he watched her mount up on her horse (a mustang stallion that had a yellow body and a black mane and tail) and walked it away behind Loretta.
After they were gone the doctor quickly ran back over to the Tardis and removed his glasses from out of his pocket and put them on as he started to boot up the computer. That's when suddenly his cellphone rang. "Ello?" he answered. "Ello Doctor it's Jackie." She began. "I'm sorry Jackie I can't talk right now." He told her. "I'm sorry for bothering you Doctor, but Johnathan really wants to talk to you about his birthday party." She explained. "Well tell him that his mother and I both love him and we'll do the best that we can to be there, but right now I am very busy trying to look something up." He told her.
"What do you mean? I thought you would be busy spending time alone together." She said. "I know but Rose went out for a ride with her great great grandmother and even though I was against it at first maybe it's a good thing." He said. "Really? Why is that?" she asked him. "Because I just felt your daughter's chest." He began. "Shh! Not so loud! Your son is right behind me you know!" she exclaimed inside a whisper. "Yes but you don't understand, she has two heartbeats." He told her.
"What do you mean she has two heartbeats? She's a human. I mean I should know since I gave birth to her myself." She said. "I know, but now that she's married to me I think she's part time lord, or lady I should say. That doesn't mean she can regenerate she'll just have a longer life, and probably do a lot of other things that I can do." He explained.
"You say that like it's a bad thing." Jackie said. "No, it's not really all that bad, but I just think that it would come as quite a shock to her that's all and I don't want to scare her. Especially since she's seen and faced a lot more stuff out there than you could possibly ever imagine." He said while he continued studying the computer. "Please Doctor, whatever you do just promise me that you'll take care of her." She said. "I already did didn't I when I married her, and trust me Jackie Tyler, promises are something that I never break.
