'You look like a ghost.'
'Oh. Hang on,' The Doctor shifted the baby in his arms so that he could reach the sonic screwdriver. After a short buzzing he and the baby appeared to be solid.
'Can I…?' Rose started to reach for her daughter.
'You can't. We're still just an image. No touch.'
'Can't you come through properly?'
'The whole universe would fracture. Two universes would collapse.'
'So?'
'Where are we? Where did the gap come out?'
'We're in Norway.'
'Norway. Right.'
'About fifty miles out of Bergen. It's called Darlig Ulv Stranden'
'Dalek?'
'Darl-IG. It's Norwegian for 'bad'. This translates as Bad Wolf Bay.'
The two spent a moment just staring at each other until Rose spoke again.
'How long 'ave we got?'
'About two minutes…'
'I'm gonna miss 'er growin' up.'
'Oh but she'll know who you are. I'll make sure she knows the stories of the most extraordinary human being in the universe.'
'Now remember to feed 'er somefin other than bananas…'
'I have done this before you know.'
'Be quiet. Don't put 'er down and forget about 'er…'
'Oi'
'…and please… don't go savin' the universe till she's old enough to run.'
'That one I probably will have to remember. What about you? What are you..?'
'Yeah I'm back workin' at the shop.'
'Oh. Good for you.'
'Don't be daft. There's still a Torchwood on this planet open for business. I think I know a thing or two about aliens.'
'Rose Tyler. Defender of the Earth. You're dead, officially, back home. So many people died that day and you've gone missing. You're on a list of the dead.'
'Am I ever gonna see you again?'
'You can't.'
'What're you gonna do?'
'Oh, I've got the TARDIS, I've got my Rosebud, I'll show her all of time and space. She'll have the biggest playground any child could ever imagine.'
It was then that tears began to roll down Rose's cheeks.
'I lo… I love you.'
'Quite right too.'
'Make sure she knows.'
'and I suppose… if it's my last chance to say it… Rose Tyler –'
