I met this wonderful man ten years ago and since then he has taken measures to make sure I knew that I was loved. Thankyou all for coming tonight, to everyone, friends and family, my ex-boyfriend and his wife! To my husband.

Rose walked through Henrik's, reading the slightly crumpled piece of paper she held in her hand and she bit her fingernail critically.

Well, Rose thought, it was as good as it was going to get, it was happening tomorrow, for goodness sake.

At that point Rose looked up and saw she was standing round the back of a display. She wandered aimlessly as she stuffed the piece of paper into her pocket and walked right up to a big…blue…box.

"Is it…oh my-, could it really…, I've dreamt about this so many…, no, yes, is it-…or am I just crazy?" Rose found that she had subconsciously opened the door of the big blue box and stepped inside.

"Well…I'd take the latter", came a voice from the middle of the room. "As you're talking to yourself." And Rose looked up and saw a man standing at a console, his eyes twinkling, a grin spreading quickly across his face.

"Is it you?"

"Yeah."

"It is really you?"

"Yep, it's really me."

"Are you sure, is it really you?"

The Doctor laughed, "I'm quite sure. It is really really really really really really me!"

Rose smiled.

"Now come here, you cutie, so I can give you a hug", the Doctor said.

She hesitated for a split second, a flicker of an eyelid, but long enough for the Doctor to notice before she walked quickly up the ramp and into the Doctors arms, holding tightly to him.

"How long has it been? I try not to keep count", asked the Doctor as they stood together, entwined in an embrace that they hoped they would never be able to untangle.

"Eight years, Doctor", answered Rose, "Eight years" and she held closer to the Doctor as he whispered an apology into her ear.

Minutes later, they let go of each other, hastily wiping tears from their faces.

"So, eight years. You're nearly 30!"

"Thankyou for reminding me"

"What has my little Rosie been up to? Has she got a job? Moved out of the house? Got married?" the Doctor joked. Rose froze.

"You got married?"

"I'm engaged…" Rose said reluctantly and held up her left hand.

"I was just… kidding…"the Doctor said, a look of disbelief and mortified surprise spreading across his face.

There was no change of expression to the Doctor's face, as though the wind had changed direction and had froze his face like that.

"When…when is the wedding?"

"Tomorrow"

"Great timing, Doctor, excellent timing" the Doctor said to himself, only half-sarcastically. "Who is he?" this time, he was talking to Rose.

"Jake"

"Jake? Our Jake…your Jake?"

"Yes"

The Doctor took his arms from Rose's waist and stood back. His brown eyes downcast, his arms folded across his chest, he looked heartbroken.

"I-I'm sorry…" Rose said quietly.

Suddenly, he was cheerful again, looking up at Rose again, he grinned and wrapped his arms around her waist again.

"Well, that makes it easier, doesn't it!? Mickey would have been trouble, he would've come after you, but Jake…well…just tell him and we'll be off. Easy done!"

It was Rose's turn to pull away. Standing near the Captain's chair, looking half-surprised, half-annoyed.

"What do you mean?"

"Well you're not…you're not actually gonna marry him, are you?"

"Uh…well-"

"You don't actually love him?"

"Well…"

"What has he ever done for you?!" The Doctor was suddenly angry. "I saved your life! I crossed galaxies to find you! I loved you first! You knew that!"

"No I didn't!" Rose shouted, defensively, "I didn't know! You never said!"

"Did I need to?!"

"Yes!! Yes you did! For eight years, I didn't know."

"And you love him?"

"Yes…yes I think I do"

"Why?"

"I got a job at Torchwood, after you left, along with Mickey and Jake. Probably wasn't a good idea, so soon after everything. Anyway, the next year, on August 24, late at night, I stood against the wall and cried, cried for you, cried for me, cried for what could have been, and never was. I could feel something, on the other side of the wall that night. Was that you?"

The Doctor nodded.

"I stood against it, my hand on the wall, whispering to you. You were there. The whole night. I must've stayed there till early morning, just standing against the wall…

He was there all night. Jake. Just standing there, waiting for me, not rushing me, just waiting."

The Doctor stayed silent.

"The next year you weren't there, but I was. And so was Jake, just waiting, watching the tears flow down my face. Each year my heart broke a little more. 3 years. 4 years. Until the fifth year, where Jake came up to me, put his hand in mine and said "Enough", that was all. He hugged me and I cried into his shoulder.

He took me home and on the way, we talked, I told him my story, our story.

On the sixth year, I didn't go to the wall. Jake took me out. Told me I needed to have some fun. We went out to dinner, and he told me he loved me. And I told him I loved him back. The next year he proposed and I said yes. That was this August."

"I- so you're going to marry him tomorrow?" the Doctor asked quietly. He looked to be on the verge of tears.

"Yes…I…I don't know…"

"In twenty-eight hours you'll have either me or him…make your decision…"

"Is that some kind of ultimatum, Doctor?" Rose asked, her anger rearing its head again.

"No, no. In twenty-eight hours exactly I leave and cant come back. So…choose."

"My wedding starts in twenty-seven hours…are you gonna come?"

"I couldn't, you know that"

"Yeah, yeah, sorry, stupid question. I-I better go."

Rose walked to the door and pulled it open.

"I missed you, Doctor, more than you could imagine" she said to him and then walked out into the centre crowded with Christmas shoppers.
