Wilted Rose

The Doctor and Rose had just returned from one of their exciting inter-galactic trips, and as the TARDIS landed, a certain someone came running towards it. "Mickey!" shouted Rose as she flung open the door and enveloped him in a massive hug. "I've missed you so much babe" he said, as he glanced over to the Doctor, who was walking away to leave them to their lovemaking. "Me too" replied Rose, as a smile cracked on her lips. "how about we go away for a while" suggested Mickey. "to the seaside!" "Well," said Rose, turning around "is that alright with you, Doctor?". "Of course, I've got to nip over to Cardiff and refuel at the rift anyway. I'll come back here when I'm done"

But when Rose turned back to face Mickey, his expression had changed completely. His eyes were red and his teeth were pointy. 'This must be the Nostrovite Jack told me about' thought Rose. A low growl escaped the monster's lips and Rose screamed, but her voice could not be heard over the whooshing of the TARDIS.

The Nostrovite's teeth dug into Rose's leg, and she knew that there was nothing she could do. She succumbed to sleep, as the monster escaped. The next morning, Rose awoke to find herself bearing a child. She had nowhere to go; Her mum was on holidays with some young guy called Elton and the Doctor was going to be a while in Cardiff.

Rose was depressed. She took up residence in the gutter and cried herself to sleep each night. One evening, she saw the shadow of a woman cast on the wall, and watched it until it became a figure standing in front of her. "Hello darling" said the stranger, the words rolling off her tongue in a sickly sweet tone. "Looks like that baby has caused you a lot of trouble." Rose nodded in approval. "Well I can help you with that" said the woman in a sinister tone. As she reached towards Rose's belly with her outstretched clawed hand. Rose was extremely relieved to hear a familiar whooshing sound and be pulled inside the TARDIS.

And the Doctor saves the day again!
