Prologue
Rose Tyler woke up feeling nauseous, putting a hand over her mouth and praying that she wouldn't just yet be sick she made it to the bathroom and threw up in the toilet. Washing her mouth out with strawberry mouth wash, she sprayed the room with air freshner and exited it just as her mother walked past.
"Rose, you alright?"
"Fine mom"
Her mother went into the bathroom and Rose stumbled downstairs, feeling light-headed from throwing up. She put toast in the toaster adding another two for her mother and poured a drink of orange juice while she waited for it to be done.
Her mother came down as Rose applied the butter and jam to her mother's then put on hers peanut butter; it wouldn't be considering un-normal except the fact that Rose hated peanut butter.
Her mother gave her a strange look but Rose passed it off, biting into her toast and finished it in half the time she normally would have. She was still hungry so she made some more.
Her mother who had not said anything till now decided she had to speak up. "Rose darling, you hate peanut butter. Are you sure you're alright?"
"Fine mom"
Finishing breakfast Rose went into the living room and put on the TV, nothing that managed to capture her interest she threw the remote down.
"Cup of tea Rose?"
"Sure" Rose picked up the paperback on the arm of the coach, something the doctor had left when he was reading it last night. Rose had returned home for a few days, persuading the doctor to stay with her then having to persuade her mother to let him stay; it was no secret they disliked each other. The doctor and Rose were only here for three days, they were planning to leave tomorrow.
"Have you seen the doctor?" She asked her mother as she was handed her tea.
"Yes he went out just as I woke up"
Rose nodded then swallowed a gulp of tea and spat it right back out. "This is disgusting"
"Since when do you not like tea?" Her mother asked shocked.
"Since now apparently"
"Rose, I don't think you are alright"
"Mom I'm fine" Rose smiled. It seemed to convince her mom; well it seemed like it did to Rose. Except Rose was worried herself, was she coming down with something? Trust that to happen, for her to become ill, when they were leaving tomorrow.
With a resigned fact that she may just be ill, she typed what was happening to her on the internet on her mobile to see what she did have.
She waited a few seconds as it loaded, but only one illness came up, not even an illness.
Pregnancy
"No, I can't be pregnant" Rose said out loud to herself.
Nevertheless Rose found herself getting to her feet and telling her mother she was just popping down to the shop.
Rose mentally shook her head on the way down there, there was no way she was pregnant no way. The only man Rose had had sex with was the doctor and he couldn't reproduce, or could he? Inside her heart began to beat frantically and she hurried her pace up, she had to find out, now, right now.
Buying the pregnancy kit Rose began to calm down, of course she wasn't pregnant she was just having an off day. That was it, all that was wrong.
Returning home she went up to the bathroom and followed the instructions. She had to wait a minute for the results and she sat down on the cold floor, her back pressed against the bathtub.
She looked at her watch as she waited for the minute to pass, when the minute had gone Rose took a deep breath and looked at the stick.
She faintly heard her mother call up to say she was going to her mates Christine as she stared at the stick. It was only when the doctor appeared in the doorway that she fainted.
