The Dream
By Eugena
Rated: T
Rose's reoccurring dream provides insight to her life with the Doctor before he regenerated.
Rose Tyler sat up in bed. She smiled as the dream faded, holding onto the last moments. His kiss had been so real that she felt it now. Her hands had clasped the small hands. Even her mother had smiled at them.
She found her way to the library, not expecting to run into The Doctor.
"You're up late," he said.
"So are you," she replied.
She began searching along the spines of the books, scanning for a title. Instead of finding a book she could have easily found in seconds on Earth, she found countless books on theories of space travel and historical treaties between members of neighboring galaxies. Of course, there were many other books, but Rose was too disappointed to continue looking.
"Didn't find what you need?" The Doctor asked.
She shook her head.
"The TARDIS has books on everything."
"Maybe not everything."
He looked cautiously at her as she sat down across from him. He took her hand. "Now tell me what's been bothering you."
"Just a dream I've been having," she said, smiling at first. Rose looked away from him and began to wring her hands. "Just keeps coming back. Same one."
"Bad then?"
"No. I don't want it to end. I don't want to wake up."
"Then what is this nice dream of yours, Rose?"
"I'm pregnant."
