Hey guys! My name is Rie and I usually write Roswell Fanfic. This is my first attempt at Dr Who so be nice to me :P

The basic idea is that 5 years ago the Tenth Doctor left Rose, but now he's been brought back into her life to protect Daniel. What is going to happen between them now that they are forced to join together after 5 years of separation?

Disclaimer: I don't own Dr Who... If I did You'd know :P

The Doctor stood at the edge of the park staring at it intently. He'd just been back in the 21st century for the total of half an hour and already something was drawing him to this spot. Something was there in the park, nothing bad but life altering.

He could feel it.

He hated it

The last time he felt that was when he was with Rose.

Rose.

For a moment he wondered what she was doing, for one moment he allowed himself to think about her. What had happened between them was something wonderful, a friendship and more. It was heartfelt and warm; they were the best of friends and lovers just a few times. It was a connection. Something yearned for by many, yet he had to go and ruin it. After three years of happily ever after in the stars, fighting the every day alien idiot and the occasional power hungry ape, he had pushed her too far.

He'd asked to her to leave.

"Why?"

"Because this is the way things have to be."

"No it doesn't." She cried as she took his hand, her eyes pleading to him.

He yanked it away from her.

"Rose, don't you get it? I can't give you the life you want." He leant against the console, looking her in the eye. His arms were crossed over his chest in determination. He had to do this. "You have to leave. For yourself. You need to live a normal, human life – a fantastic life. I can't give you that."

He closed his eyes as he remembered the pain of leaving Rose at home in the year 2007. He was supposed to leave her in 2006, but as per usual things didn't happen that way.

She was stood by the door, her hand resting on it. Her head dangled slightly as she looked at the floor. She paused there for a moment then turned around, her mouth open. She had tears in her eyes as she tried to form the words she wanted to say. After half a minute, the longest half a minute the Doctor had ever lived; she closed it and just looked at him. That look. That one look held so much emotion that he felt like he should just chuck in the whole idea, allow his determination to disappear and just love the woman.

His heart yearned for it.

But he couldn't do it. He was the Doctor after all and he was set in his ways. No seconds chances and all that; better not turn against his true nature. So he just stood there, his hands resting on the console as he leant back against it, and watched her turn around and walk out of his life.

A feeling of dread and guilt rushed over him as he turned his back to the door. What ever he had done was life changing; life altering.

He hated that feeling so he went to the controls and left Rose in the year 2007.

Now the exact same life altering feeling was invading his mind as he stood at the entrance of a small park in Birmingham. He shook his head as his thoughts once again turned to Rose, something he couldn't understand because by rights she should still be in London.

"Right?" He asked himself as he crossed his arms over his chest and peered at the people in the park, wondering. He was feeling drawn here. He didn't understand why, but he was going to find out.

His gaze swept over the park and finally settled on the small boy, about four years old, who was sat in the sand. His large brown eyes were pointed directly to the ground as he played with the bottom of his shoe. The time lord laughed at his brown messy hair that stuck up in tuffs, yet his laughter was washed away by the feeling that the little boy was lonely.

So terribly alone.

Like he was.

He moved into the park and took a seat nearer the boy, feeling compelled to watch him.

For a moment he felt he should nearer the boy, but he knew that this was a time when strange men were looked at with suspicion and fear, despite how dashing and almost trust worthy he really was. It would go back to the old ways eventually, with time, when parents had microchips implanted into their children and only 'good spirited' people could enter the park, as their minds were invaded to determine whether they were 'safe'. So he thought best not to go near him, just observe him and figure out what was calling him to the child.

The smallest tear landed on the sand and the Doctor almost stood up to go to him because for a moment both his hearts ached for the boy.

But the slightest movement in the background caught his attention.

His mouth almost fell open as in the distance, staring directly at him, was a sight he had thought he'd never see again. Rose. She was stood in jeans and her union jack T-shirt looking like she hadn't changed in the 5 years after he dropped her off in 2007. She had her hair swept up in a side ponytail, the way he liked it, but her hair was longer now so it was dangling over her shoulder. His hearts leapt. There stood about 100 meters away was Rose with a look of wonder and confusion on her face as she stood there simply staring at him.

"Hadn't she got rid of that thing yet?" He mused under his breath as he inspected her union jack t-shirt. The last time he had seen that they were dancing in the TARDIS after having saved the world from a little boy. He shook his head slightly as he stood from the bench, excitement and fear bubbling away at him to talk to her. He shouldn't be thinking of past times, she was stood right in front of him for the first time in years and he was itching to talk to her. Just hear her voice or hug her. Something.

So he braced himself for the insults, the shouting and the rage that would evitabley fall out of her mouth for the way he treated her, but the moment he had just started to move towards her a look of absolute horror flashed across her face and she rushed towards the sand pit.

"Daniel!" She exclaimed. "Daniel come quickly!" She cried, her hands flapping him forwards toward her. How did her look of confusion, the typical Rose face that he had learnt to adore as she thought about things that just didn't make sense, suddenly change into complete horror and fear in seconds?

She couldn't really hate him that much? Surely?

The Doctor just stood in shock as he watched the small boy run into Rose's arms and then the two of them make a dash for it across the park.

With out even thinking, he made a mad dash after her.
