It had been three months since Rose Tyler and the Doctor duplicate were left on Bad Wolf Beach, and things were going well. They became legally married just two months after that day, and were now settled in their cozy life in a flat. It was after supper and the Doctor was washing the pot and pans while Rose flipped channels on the telly.
"This all seems so boring now, just lazily watching the telly." Rose sighed and stopped on the music channel, not wanting to watch any of the crime shows that were on.
"You're telling me. I haven't even got a TARDIS to fly 'round in every once and a while." He rinsed the last pot and began wiping down the counters.
"To think, we've only been back two weeks from our honeymoon. We're gonna need lots o' money if we wanna continue travelling places. S'pose that means I should go back to school… get me a proper job." Rose groaned and flopped down on the couch in defeat.
"You have got a proper job. Donna Noble was a receptionist, and she was a great woman. Besides, our simple little life won't be so bad. After all, you've got me to keep you entertained." The Doctor sat down by Rose's head and stroked her hair softly.
Rose smiled and snuggled up to him. "Yeah, you're right. I have got you, haven't I?" She smiled up at him and he chuckled.
"Whenever you need me, I'll be here waiting for you. My rose." He leaned forward and kissed her forehead gently. Rose sat up looked at his eyes lovingly. They both smiled. "Oh, come here, you." The Doctor said playfully, wrapping an arm around Rose's waist and pulling her onto his lap. He kissed her softly, running his fingers through her hair. She nibbled at his lips. Then, Rose poked him in the side and giggled as he squeaked. Moving his arm from around her waist to under her butt, he picked her up and carried her to their bedroom.
"Now that, my darling, was not nice. I'm going to have to get you back." The Doctor plopped her down on the bed and moved his hands to her sides, pausing for a moment before tickling her relentlessly. Rose's sweet laugh filled his ears and he smiled and laughed along with her. Rose begged him to stop the tickling, and eventually he complied. "That oughtta teach you." He grinned cheekily before pulling Rose up close to himself. "You are beautiful, Rose Tyler. And I love you."
