Hi everyone, I am so so sorry that I have deleted the original version of this story, however, I have changed a few things and I hope to be able to update this, as I am not working as much now as I have been recently, and also my internet has been reconnected at home now, so I will be able to post from home now, I didn't do any posting as I couldn't get anything done for some time as I couldn't get access to the computer that had all my stories on it. Okay, so last time, on Series 3 with Rose, we left the Doctor and Rose with Shareen so we continue from there
The Doctor and Rose said their goodbyes to Shareen and headed back to the Tardis after their daughter fell asleep in her mother's arms. The Doctor relieved Rose of their daughter and placed her into the car seat that they had brought with them for her to sleep in. Once they arrived at the Tardis, the Doctor unlocked the door and opened it for his wife to enter before him with their daughter. He entered behind her and closed the door. "I'm gonna go put Talia to bed." Rose said with a smile as she lifted her sleeping child from the car seat and cradled her gently in her arms.
The Doctor returned her smile "Okay," he said "I'll get started looking for Adipose Industries then."
"I'll bring us a cuppa once she's settled." Rose told him quietly as she exited the control room. The Doctor smiled at her retreating form and got to work.
Rose walked along the Tardis corridors until she reached their bedroom and walked through into Talia's nursery. She changed her daughter into her baby grow after changing her nappy, she then placed her gently into her cot, she brushed the few dark hairs off of her forehead and ran her hand over her child's face and then kissed her forehead before leaving the nursery and closing the door quietly behind her so as not to waken the sleeping infant. She headed to the kitchen to make a cup of tea, but, something stopped her staying there long enough to wait for the kettle to boil; she then realised that it was to do with her husband and the fact that she had hardly left his side, except whilst they were on board the space ship 'Titanic', she abandoned her task and headed to the control room to find her husband. He was sitting with his back to her on the captain's chair. "Hey." She said, quietly as the feeling that she'd had in the kitchen disappeared as she reached him and wrapped her arms around his neck from behind and kissed the back of his head.
"Hey, yourself." He said with a slight smile as he turned his head enough to see her
"You alright?" Rose asked as she moved her hands to his shoulders and began to massage them gently.
"Oh, I was just thinking." He said as his own hands moved to cover hers. "sit down, sweetheart."
Rose squeezed his shoulders as he removed his hands and then she moved round to the front of the chair, which was actually more like a sofa and sat down next to him. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and she curled into his embrace, when she did, his arm moved to her waist and one of hers wrapped around his stomach. They sat quietly, enjoying one another's presence for a while before Rose broke the silence.
"What were you thinking about?" she asked him
"The year that never was…" he answered.
"What about the year that never was?" she asked
"The Master."
"What about him?" Rose asked, with confusion.
"I don't think that we've seen the last of him." He admitted, something that he had been thinking about since he had burned the Master's body.
"I don't understand." Rose said with confusion. "He's dead."
"I've thought that before." He told her, tightening his arms round her waist. "I thought that he'd run out of regenerations a few centuries ago, but apparently not. He keeps coming back, just like the Daleks." He paused "I'm concerned that he might have had something planned and that I'll never be rid of either of them and that you and Talia will be in danger."
"What do you mean?" Rose asked, confused as to why she would be in danger.
"I mean that, he has used people against me before, just like he used Martha's family against us last time." The Doctor explained "I don't want either of you used against me."
"What else is bothering you, honey?" Rose asked, knowing her husband well enough to know when he wasn't telling her everything.
The Doctor looked at her. "I missed you." He admitted, knowing that she could see right through him. "You and Talia."
"Why did you say that you were the last Time Lord?" Rose asked, not accusingly, she just wanted to know why it was that he told the Master that they were the last of the Time Lords
"I wanted to protect our daughter, sweetheart." He answered "And I wanted to protect you from him as well."
"Why did you want to protect me?" Rose asked "I can understand why you want to protect her, but why me?"
"You mean other than the obvious fact that you're my wife and I love you?"
"Yeah, other than that, honey."
The Doctor looked down at her face and directly into her eyes. "I wanted to protect you from him, because if he found out that you are the mother of my child, he would realise that you and I at least are compatible and he would possibly have tried something with you and I didn't want to take any chances that you would get hurt by him."
"I have a question that you might be able to answer for me." Rose said, changing the subject.
"What's that then?" he asked, reverting back to his normal self.
"I was wondering how much of a Time Lady our daughter is?"
"Well, we know that your DNA is being changed to be more like mine." He started "so given that fact and also the fact that you held the Time Vortex in your head without dying. I'm reckoning that she's at least 95% Gallireyan, if not then she's one hundred percent Time Lady."
"Ok." Rose replied "So, she's not got any human in her then?"
"Yeah, is that ok?" he asked quietly.
"Well, would I have married you, if I wasn't ok with our children being completely alien to me?"
"Probably not." He agreed. "Now, I haven't really spent much time with my wife since that whole business, what with the Time Crash and the voyage on the Titanic, so I think that we should take a break from this conversation and go get to know each other again?"
Rose's answer was non-verbal in the form of a passionate kiss, which he returned, pulling her onto his lap. After a few minutes they broke the kiss and Rose stood up and held out her hand to the Doctor.
"Come on then." She said. He took her hand and she pulled him to his feet and he kissed her again, his arms going around her waist.
"I love you so very much, Rose." He said when they broke the kiss.
"I love you, too." And with that they headed to their bedroom and closed the door behind them.
Ok, I hope you enjoyed the first instalment of series 4 with Rose, before I go, I just want to say that I hope that this story is as well received as both its prequels were. There may possibly be occasions where I leave you hanging at the end of a chapter, however I will try not to do that very often and this story will be the one when you all find out exactly what has been happening to Rose.
