this is my first Doctor who fanfiction so be nice

this story is set before during and after the Christmas Invasion. what if there was something more between the Doctor and Rose what if they were married and had had a child how would Rose cope with the regeneration. Captain Jack Harkness is such a great character that I can't allow the Doctor and Rose to leave him behind

Disclaimer: I keep forgetting to do this on all my other stories so this is the disclaimer for the entirety of this story. Doctor Who doesn't belong to me I'm only borrowing the characters and playing with them and certain storylines for a bit then leaving them

A/N: before I start I just want to say that when Rose left I was devastated cause in EVERY show I watch the important male character always looses the woman that they love I'm REALLY glad that she's returning in season 4. And just so you all know most of my stories will be Rose/ 10 not 9 because I've found whilst writing that 10 is easier to write for me probably cause he's so God damned funny (ALL HAIL DAVID TENNANT). OK now I Know why I like 10 cause I'm just as bad at going off on tangents as he is. sorry for rambling now I'll get on with the story.

A/N 2: I would just like to thank those of you that added this story to your favourites/ alerts lists, I'm grateful. Now this is a repost as I have written two more Doctor Who fanfictions since I wrote this and I discovered that this wasn't as good as I first thought that it was

Rose Tyler watched transfixed as a golden light surrounded her husband, shielding his 'daft' face as he called it, (although she preferred handsome even though he had big ears and a big nose) from view. The light eventually the light faded, where her husband had stood moments before stood a stranger with big hair and chiselled features. She stared in shock at the man wearing her husbands clothes, he was slightly shorter than before and he was slimmer. When she got over her shock at watching him change, she started to argue with this stranger.

"Ok" she said eventually "Tell me something that only the Doctor would know?"

The new Doctor or the Slitheen as Rose was currently calling the man in front of her looked at her, he walked over to her and took her hand "When I asked you to marry me, I took you to dinner and out dancing in 1941. When we we dancing I stopped, got down on one knee and I said 'Rose Tyler, I love you with both of my hearts, will you marry me?" and when you told me that you were pregnant, that was the third of the happiest moments of my lives. You know how much you and Emma mean to me and I'm so, so sorry for not mentioning regeneration to you before" he paused and cupped her cheek with his left hand, as he placed it there she could see his wedding ring glinting in the green glow from the Tardis. "Rose, sweetheart there was a reason I didn't mention regeneration to you before and that was because I was afraid that if it did happen that the new me wouldn't love you any more and that has been my worst fear, other than you dying," she smiled at him and turned her head and kissed his palm. "Although, now that fear is unjustified as this me loves you just as much if not more than the last did" he rubbed his thumb over her cheek bone and leaned in to kiss her, just before their lips touched the Tardis speaker came on and over it they could hear their three week old daughter crying, they sprang apart and Rose walked towards the door to the rest of the ship.

"You stay here, I'll get her" said Rose and she left a very confused Time Lord standing in the control room.

Rose entered the bedroom that she shared with the Doctor and went to the cot that was in the nursery right next door and she smiled down at her daughter and picked her up "Shh… baby, mummy's here…its alright" Rose tried everything that she could think of, she changed her nappy, she fed her, rocked her, sang to her but nothing seemed to work. The only thing that had been able to stop her crying when she was like this was her daddy… but would she recognise this new Doctor as he father… that for Rose would be the ultimate test for this new Doctor. She stayed in the nursery for a while and continued to calm her crying child as she didn't want to face the new Doctor yet, just in case she was about to loose him as well.

Meanwhile…..

The Doctor paced around the consol wondering what was taking so long, normally it didn't take very long for her to calm their daughter down and get her to go to sleep again. Then again, he had just regenerated and there was always the possibility that Emma had sensed his regeneration, with that thought in mind the Doctor headed to his bedroom to find nobody in sight and then he looked at the door to the nursery and noticed that it was now wide open which meant that Rose was still in there. He walked over to the door and stood and watched as Rose sang softly to their little girl. She still hadn't noticed his appearance, so he entered the room and walked over to her "Give her to me Rose" she handed him their daughter and he settled her into his arms. Rose watched this new Doctor hold their baby in his arms, it was just like before, the way that he held her, that is, he held her safe in his arms, as if she was the most precious thing in the universe, although, to him she probably was. She waited for her daughter to stop crying, which she did quickly, Rose was relieved.

The Doctor smiled down at the small bundle in his arms, his daughter was staring up at him adoringly with her beautiful brown eyes, they were the exact same shade of brown as her mother's, she fell asleep soon afterwards, the couple put her to bed and then headed back to the console room, while they were walking back Rose asked

"Doctor, why was she crying like that?"

"I think that maybe she sensed the regeneration." he paused "I hope that she didn't. I think I would prefer that she just knew that there was something wrong with me."

"Well she seems to recognise you."

"All Time Lords can," he said "She would recognise my presence in her mind and she would, if she was older that is, she would be able to tell by my eyes. When Time Lords regenerate, their eyes stay the same shape, although they might be a different colour, they're the only things that remain constant throughout a Time Lords life."

"How many times have you changed like this?"

"This is my tenth body." he answered "I've done this nine times, I'll try not to do it again for at least 80 years."

"Did you plan this one?"

"No."

"Well then, I guess you just have to stay out of situations that could cause you to regenerate."

They arrived back in the consol room and the Doctor grabbed his head and said "Rose, something's gone wrong with the regeneration, I think we should go to your mother's. Sweetheart, do exactly as I tell you."

"Alright."

"Ok, you need to set the coordinates here's what you do. Press-"

Suddenly there was a loud pounding on the door, the Doctor, who was closest to the door opened it to reveal one Captain Jack Harkness.

"Who the hell are you?" asked Jack. He was wondering where the hell the Doctor was and who this rather handsome younger man was.

"I'm the Doctor, Jack" answered the Doctor "I regenerated."

"I thought that was a myth."

"Well, you thought that Time Lords were a myth, which I'm obviously not." said the Doctor.

"You know you're a pretty boy now, don't you?" asked the Captain, who was sounding amused.

"Drop it Jack." said the Doctor " Something has gone wrong with the regeneration. Help Rose set the coordinates for her mother's say Christmas Eve 2006, Powell Estate London, England, Earth."

"Why Christmas Eve?" asked Jack.

"We were there in February so I think it will be easier to explain Emma to her if we show up 10 months after we last visited don't you?"

"Yeah."

Jack helped to set the coordinates and the Tardis dematerialised from the Game station and they all held on to the console as the Tardis jerked, when it stopped the three of them landed on their backsides, the Doctor was up first and he walked out of the Tardis to be faced with his mother in law.

Well that's the first chapter rewritten, so what do you think, let me know

That's all for this chapter, the next chapter will be from Jackie's point of view
