Rose sat down for the about the 47th time, exhausted and sore. For the whole day she had been too busy organising decorations, tables, food and guests to even have a minute to rest.
Her work was done for now at least and now she could enjoy the comfort of a chair for, she looked down at her watch, 20 seconds.
She looked around at her work and was pleased, she never thought her self as the head designer and she especially never thought that she would do such a good job.
She smiled and looked down at her hand that was gently placed on her round tummy. She was reluctant of ever finding a dress that would fit her. But after a long patient search she was suited into a gorgeous white silk dress, strapless, that came down past her knees and matched Martha's and Donna's .
Time was of the essence and she needed to get back to Martha and Donna who were waiting for her.
Rose placed one hand on the table's edge and the other on the top of the chair before awkwardly pulling herself up.
After that achievement she turned towards the doors and found her mother waiting for her. She wore a huge smile on her face as well as her newly bought outfit for the day.
"Come on sweetheart, we've got to be there before 1"
"I know mum, I just had to make sure that everything was perfect for afterwards"
"It is, you've done a wonderful job, now we just need to get back to the car, Mickey's waiting"
"I'm coming"
Mother and daughter hooked arms as they left the huge building and walked towards the car. The drive didn't take long, Rose was thankful that they were actually in London instead of some of world planet, that way it was easier to get around.
The church wasn't huge, but perfect in size.
Inside it wasn't anything like an old castle, or an 18th century church. The windows were huge and only some were beautifully designed with pictures and colours, therefore it lit up the church, lightening the mood.
Half the seats were full, all occupied by those invited. Family and friends of course.
Rose entered with the help of Mickey, who lead her towards Jack who was standing at the alter speaking to the priest.
He turned when he saw her and smiled, finishing his conversation he walked over to her.
"Hey good-lookin"
"You really think so?"
"No, I was talking to the baby"
To demonstrate, Jack leaned forward and began to talk to Rose's tummy, earning him a knock on the head.
"Sheesh I was just joking. No really, you look beautiful"
Jack pecked Rose on the cheek before leading her over to were Donna was standing with her mum and grandad.
"Hi Donna"
"Oh Rose, I didn't see you come in, how's the hall?"
"Great, I got everything done, the decorations are in place and the menu is sorted"
"Brilliant, now we just need to wait for everyone to arrive"
Just then the Master entered and quickly paced up to them. He wore his brand new black suit and tie, with a white rose stuck to his left lapel of his Jacket. His face was an expression of panic.
"Have you guys seen The Doctor"
"Even if we did, you can't see him"
"Why not?" His face was like a school boy
"Because it's unlucky, you'll just have to wait" taunted Jack
"But I need to see him"
"What for?"
"To give him these"
The master held out a box that showed no clue as to what was inside.
Donna sighed
"I'll give it to him if you want"
"O.K tell him there from me"
"Right o"
Donna left the group to there discussion
"So Master you excited?"
"We'll I can't stop smiling and I'm getting this weird feeling at the pit of my stomach"
"Butterflies"
"Huh?"
"It's called Butterflies, it a feeling you get in your tummy when your nervous for something, but right now I think the doctor is way more nervous than you"
"And why's that?"
"Well he's been in the back room getting ready for the past 2 hours. Knowing him, it never takes him that long to get ready"
"Maybe he's nervous too" suggested Rose
"A bit more I think"
"Give him time, he's getting married after all. And shouldn't you as best man be with him for comfort?"
"Nah. I think Donna's got that sorted. And you best be getting ready too, I think its starting soon" Jack said as he pointed to the Master
The master tutted like a child and walked to the back of the church and through the doors.
"You guys ready?"
Jack and Rose turned to see Martha standing behind them
"Hi Martha, yeah I think were starting soon"
"Brilliant, I'm getting excited."
"Me too" Jack agreed
"And I must hand it to my self, the choice in dresses for the bride's maids are fabulous" Jack said in his Gok Wan impression.
"I know, although I don't think you can actually call us bride's maid. Since there is no bride" said Martha
"Alright then, Groom's maids"
"Yeah but you are right, these dresses are quite nice and for once I actually think I look quite good in it, which is a first"
"Speak for yourself, your not the one walking about with this huge thing"
Jack frowned "Aw don't say that, that thing will be your pride and glory in the future"
"Yeah, but right now it's just a huge bump that wants loads of food and kicks a lot"
Jack and Martha laughed
Jack leaned closer to her "So what ya think, 2 more months"
Rose stared wide eyed at the thought "I know, I can't believe it's gone by so quickly"
"Have you found out the sex yet?" asked Martha
"Not sure if I should. It's nice to be surprised on the day, but it's also good to be even more prepared"
"Yeah, true"
"But just think Rose, 2 more months and you'll be holding a newborn beautiful baby in your arms"
"Yeah. 2 more months…and I'll be a mum"
Donna found the doctor's room at last and gave it a gentle knock
"Doctor, it's me Donna, can I come in?"
She heard faintly from the other side
"Sure"
Donna proceeded on opening the door, stepping into the room and closing the door behind her. When she turned back she found the Doctor hunched over the table at the far wall in front of the window. He sat on the edge of the chair with his head buried in his arms. He was dressed also in his new black tux and tie. But what surprised her most is when she looked down at his feet and saw that he was wearing a pair of black leather polished patent shoes.
"Wow"
The doctor raised his head from the table for the first time.
"What?" he face was mask of worry
"Your shoes, there…different"
"They. Are uncomfortable" he pouted as he lay his head back down on his arms
"Then why are you wearing them?"
"Because I wanted to look my best"
"That doesn't mean you have to walk around the whole day wearing uncomfortable shoes"
The doctor simply sighed and looked out the window
"What's the matter Spaceman? You nervous?"
He smirked "Donna, I'm a nervous wreck! I'm about to have a panic attack! I'm freaking out here"
"Why? There's nothing to worry about"
"Because"
He sighed
"I've been dreaming about this day since I was your age"
"Wow that's a long time. But you told me before that you had kids and were obviously married"
The doctor raised his eyebrow at her
"Oh you mean with the master"
He nodded "I never thought that this day would come, and now that's it's here, I just know that something is going to happen"
"Yes, something is going to happen. You are going to get married to the man you love, and nothigns going to stop you"
"Thanks Donna"
"Anytime. Oh and that reminds me" she said as she looked down at the box in her hands. She held it out to the doctor who took it from her like it was a bomb
"What's this?"
"Dunno, The master said he wanted to give it to ya"
The doctor shrugged his shoulder's and opened the box. Inside was a note, that had been placed on top of an object that had been covered in a white foil. The doctor placed the box down on the table and read the note.
"You'll never suit them"
Love the Master xxx
The doctor frowned and leaned forward to inspect the box. He pulled back the wrapping and was ecstatic at what he saw. Donna also smiled at what she saw. Inside the box were a pair of brand new black and white converse just for him.
The doctor couldn't help but grin.
He wasted no time on kicking off his uncomfortable shoes and putting on his new ones. The fitted perfect and they were much more comfortable.
"That has just made my day"
"The days not over yet spaceman, you ready?"
"Yup"
Just then the doors opened and jack's head popped through,
"We're waiting"
"Coming"
Jack stepped fully into the room to take a look
"God, he's lucky, you look great"
"Thanks jack" replied the doctor
"But your not ready yet"
Jack walked over to the table and picked up something, before coming back to face the doctor. Jack nodded to Donna and she left to join Rose and Martha in her place, leaving the tow men alone.
Jack held a small white Rose in his hand and placed it on the doctor's jacket, before dusting off his suit and standing back to take a look at his work.
"Ugh, do I have to give you away?" Jack moaned
"No lets ditch this place and run away together" the doctor said sarcastically
"Can we, really?" Jack played along
"No, cause then we'll miss all the food"
"Darn it"
The doctor smiled at jack which soon turned into a nervous look and jack could sense it
"Doc, it's going to be fine. Just remember, I'll always be waiting if it doesn't work out"
"Jack"
"Ok, ok. You look great and your gonna have a wonderful time"
"Thanks Jack"
At that moment, a bell sounded for everyone's attention in the church. They were all told to be seated and the mass was about to begin.
The doctor's hearts were pounding in his chest as he looked to jack.
Jack smiled at him
"You ready to get married Timelord?"
The doctor smiled back "Ready as I'll ever be"
Jack hooked him arm around the doctor's and lead him out of the room
Allons-y
Tell me what you think:)
