A/N: Heyho everyone and welcome to my new story. I hope you like it.
It's my first story in the Doctor Who installment and I would love to hear your opinion... soo review? :P

I also wanted to give a quick shout out to Kate Maxwell and her story "Time Lord Flu",
which inspired me to write one of my own. Check out her story as well :)

And of course, enjoy.

Nine month. It had been nine wonderful month, since the metacrisis Doctor and Rose were left at the "Bad Wolf Bay" in Norway.
It was a difficult, but beautiful time. The Doctor, now officially named John Smith, still complained about the difficulties that came
with being part human, but secretly he enjoyed it very much.

This was their first winter together in the parallel universe and yes,
they enjoyed every moment of it.

The morning air was crisp as Rose hurled the first snowball at her beloved Doctor.
She never referred to him as John Smith. It just sounded wrong to her,
no matter how often she tried to pronounce his human name.

The Doctor avoided this particular ball of pressed snow and threw another one at Roses back,
laughing as he hit her right beneath her shoulder.
He raised his hand in victory only to get caught in another attack right to his face.

"There! I cawed you!" Roses little brother Tony cried beaming at the Doctor and his older sister,
before starting to run away as the Doctor ran after him.
Tony was only three years old, so it was hard for him to move in the deep snow,
but the part human would always pretend that Tony was faster than him. Just like now.
Tony threw another scoop of snow at his chaser and hit right on his leg.
The Doctor let himself fall onto the frozen ground, groaning in mock pain.

"Oh, Dowcta, are you ok?" the little boy asked shyly.
He didn't mean to hurt his playing companion.
Slowly the little guy leaned over the part human und poked his face cautiously.

"Buh!" There was a shout as the Doctor snapped his eyes open and pulled the little boy down to his chest, tickling him.
Tony squirmed in his arms and tried to catch his breath through his attack of laughter, but his opponent was to strong.
He screamed for his big sister to save him.


Rose just stood nearby and watched the two boys playing in the snow.
She chuckled softly as her Doctor tried to attack her little brother, but she wouldn't let him win this easily.
The blonde gathered a huge amount of snow in her hands as she walked over, whistling innocently.

"Oi! Don't break my little brother, will ya?!" she called and just as the Doctor lessened his grip on the three year old,
Rose dumped the pile of snow right into her companions face, laughing at the face he made.

"Oi! That's cold!" the Doctor screamed back at Rose, still shocked from the coolness of the fluffy white stuff, which covered half of his face.
The snow quickly converted into water and drenched his brilliant, dark hair, in a way that made it glue to his forehead.
He released Tony from his hold and jumped up to chase after the beautiful blonde.


The fun went on for hours with neither of them realizing the snow that started to fall.
First there were just a few flakes, but it soon evolved into a semi storm.
Tony got cold as lunch came, but after a quick break and two bananas the pair got back to chasing each other through the snow.
They finally stopped their childish play as the sun began to set and a chilly breeze blew over the snow covered garden behind the Tyler Mansion.

A little later Rose and the Doctor hurried inside the house.
The snow melted from their coats as they soaked up the welcoming warmth of their house.
Both of them were soaking wet and shivering miserably, but it didn't ruin their mood.
They grinned at each other, even as Jackie entered the hallway.

"Rose! Doctor! Where 'ave you been all day long! Tony came inside hours ago, freezing!
The poor thing…" the older blonde stopped taking in the sight of her daughter and the part Time Lord.
Their clothes clung to their bodies and a steady dripping noise echoed through the big entrance hall.
As she observed them shiver and chatter their teeth Jackie Tyler sighed.
Concern crossed her face for a very short moment before it returned to his half annoyed and mad look, though the lady was neither of the two.
"Look at you! You're soaking wet. Off you go then! Take a shower and warm up! I don't want you two dripping all over my floor." The blonde scolded, but neither of them moved.
"Go on. I don't want you to catch a cold!"

Just as Jackie finished her lecture Rose sneezed loudly and shook her wet hair.
"Guess you're right, Mum. Better get out of those clothes before it's too late!" the younger blonde stated happily and began to skip down the hall.
She turned around half way and looked if the Doctor would follow her, but the male just shook his head.

"Nah, go ahead, Rose. I don't want you sick either. I will take care of this mess we made and then change into something dry." The Doctor encouraged her.
As his beloved companion shot him a concerned look he gave a reassuring smile.
"Superior Time Lord physiology! I don't get sick."
He winced at the look he received from Jackie after his statement, while Rose just nodded, because she trusted him.
With a quick reminder to hurry up just in case he watched her disappear upstairs.

"Oh no Mister! Up you go. You may 'ave some super alien something genes, but you're still as human as I am!" Jackie told him sternly as she grabbed his dripping sleeve and shooed him upstairs.
"There's a flu going around and I won't have you or my daughter sick with this. Now hurry up! Dinner is ready soon."

As Jackie left her, warnings were already forgotten.
Playing in the snow and then being told to shower was just too domestic for him!
He would take a shower when he felt like it, not when the crazy mother of the love of his live told him too.
He knew Jackie just wanted to make sure he was alright, but he still had his pride.
After nearly half an hour of pouting over Jackies words he realized, that he was, now, violently shaking and that it was freezing cold.
Maybe a shower wasn't too bad after all.


"Aa..aa…ACHOOO!" the Doctor sneezed, while the whole Tyler family sat at the dinner table, enjoying their meal.
"Bless you!" Rose answered concerned.
She titled her had to the side and took in the Doctors frame.
He looked fine, but she had never, EVER, heard him sneeze before, not even in his partly human state.
A few month ago her whole family had been sick with a horrible cold, but he didn't catch it.

"Are you alright, John?" Pete asked as well.
Pete Tyler never referred to the Doctor as Doctor.
He thought it was necessary to keep his identity hidden and didn't want anyone to know that his longterm guest and love of his daughter was,
in fact, a semi human, former alien, native to a parallel universe, from which his wife and daughter appeared as well.
Still, he cared deeply for his family and counted the Doctor in.

"Y-yes. Just got some pepper in my nose, 's all." He answered politely, but it was a lie.
He felt a funny tingle inside his nostrils and somehow he was still horribly cold.
His beloved Rose didn't look any better, at least when it came to the cold part.

"Maybe", the beautiful blonde said thoughtful and put her spoon down.
"I got dry and showered rather quickly, but I still feel a little cold… maybe the Doctor and I could get a cuppa after dinner?" she asked her mother and smiled as the Doctors chocolate eyes lit up by the thought of the warm liquid.

"I have a better idea." Jackie said softly.
She was worried about the Doctor.
Her daughter seemed fine, but he looked a little pale.
Jackie Tyler knew just the thing to get him and Rose warmed up.


The scene playing out in the living room was quite funny.
It had been an exhausting day for both, the Doctor and Rose, but now the whole family sat in the living-room, watching one of Jackies favourite drama show. Tony was already fast asleep.
He was slumped over his father´s lap, while cuddling his mother.
The two parents leaned against each other lazily, facing the telly.
Rose and the Doctor were wrapped in two separate blankets, with a cup of good 'ol tea in their hands, occupying the loveseat across from Roses parents.

The blonde forgot her chilly feeling soon and enjoyed just sitting with her family and just relaxing, after such a perfect day.
Her Time Lord wasn't quite as lucky.


The Doctor wasn't feeling too well, not that he would admit it to Rose or her family.
He sneezed in his blanket and sniffed silently, hoping no one would see, or in fact hear, it.
The brunet shivered underneath his thick blanket and tried to take in as much warmth as he could.
"D-Did someone turn down the heater?" he asked, teeth chattering, while he tried to prevent another sneeze.

Rose looked at her Doctor with genuine worry in her eyes.
He looked miserable, but she knew he was a lost cause.
"Doctor, I think you got sick after all." She stated and touched his forehead with the back of her hand.
"You don't have a fever though…" Rose frowned at him as he pulled back from her hand.

"R-Rose, don't be sil-ly! Time Lord Physiology remember?" the shivering man teased, but was interrupted by another sneezing noise.
He cursed under his breath, but Rose took him by surprise.

The blonde smiled softly at her freezing Doctor and decided to let his behavior slide.
"Poor Doctor… c'mere, let's get you better." She cooed reassuringly and opened her blanket a bit, tucking it around the Doctor and herself.
The blonde chuckled gently as she watched the ,'oh so pride', half Time Lord curl up in her embrace.
Rose adjusted the Doctors blanket securely around his body and held him tight.

"God, that's so much better." The male sight, as he leaned against Rose.
Her warmth and the second blanket worked wonders and soon enough the shivering ceased.
His head was still cloudy but he relaxed and soon drifted into a peaceful slumber, while his love rubbed warming circles on his back.
Wrapped in contentment he hoped, he'd be back to normal in the morning
