A/N: set just after journeys end.
Rose and the new doctor sat in a hotel lobby as Rose's mum went to see about getting them rooms for the night. They sat next to each other holding hands watching as people walked past.
"So…"
"So.." they both spoke at once as they turned to look at one another they started to laugh.
The Doctor stared at Rose, "You really are beautiful you know"
Rose shyly smiled, "Thanks, you don't look too bad yourself"
He chuckled, "We missed you"
Rose nodded sadly thinking about her Doctor travelling in another universe.
The Doctor caressed her hand, "He'll be okay, I know he will"
"Yes, the Doctor will be okay he's got Donna, at least he's not alone"
The doctor let go of her hand and stood up.
"Are you ok?"
The doctor shrugged, "Need to pop to the men's room, I'll be back in a minute" and with that he walked off.
Jackie held a key in her hand, "Rose love they only have the one room left so you and the Doctor will have to share" Jackie winked, "but I'm sure you won't mind"
Rose rolled her eyes, "Mum!! It's not like That, I've only known the man for a day"
Jackie shrugged, "I thought he said he and the doctor were the same man. You travelled together for over 2 years surely that's long enough"
Rose took a deep breath, "But its not him is it… It's DoctorDonna, he's not the same he's brasher"
Jackie shook her head, "Your never satisfied Rose, here you are with a man who clearly loves you, he looks like the doctor, acts like the doctor but Rose he's human.." Jackie lowered her voice, "You know what this means Rose, it means your compatible"
"Compatible?"
Jackie gestured upstairs, "you know, in the bedroom"
Rose stared at Jackie as a faint blush crept up her neck, "and how do you know me and the doctor weren't…"
Jackie turned to look at her daughter, "you didn't…."
Rose rolled her eyes up to the ceiling, "no we didn't"
Jackie nodded, "There you are then you weren't compatible"
"and how do you figure that out, do you know something I don't?"
Jackie sighed, "You travelled with the man for two years and as far as I can see he never once tried it on with you," Jackie shook her head, "clearly that proves you weren't compatible"
"I can't believe we're having this conversation"
Rose turned away from her mother just in time to see the doctor come strolling over all smiles.
"You should have seen the restrooms, absolutely stunning"
Jackie chuckled, "I'll see you two tomorrow morning"
"Where are you off to now?" Rose asked her mother.
"Pete's booked us into the Hilton, he said he was sending a limo out to pick me up, should be here by now, best be off"
"Mum!"
"I'll see you later"
The Doctor chuckled, "Same old Jackie"
Rose shook her head suddenly wishing she had something to throw at him.
