A/N: Hello there! This brand new story here, is a sequel! If you go to my profile and click on the lovely story called "Carpets and Curtains" and read that, a lot more of this story will make sense... Okay not really but you get my drift. Anyway, have fun with this!


The Doctor continued his journey in time and space with new friends, but not forgetting his old while Rose tried to find her way across universes.

In the end she accomplished her goal, only to be stuck back in Pete's World yet again, but this time, with her human Doctor.

John and Rose Tyler-Noble, living happily together, in peace and quiet.

That is, until the Doctor makes a house call.


Rose moved around her house, picking up items that had been used in her husband's many tinkering sessions. Although he was a neat person, he was messy when it came to where he left his stuff. Their house seemed cluttered at times, until Rose would ask him to get rid of all the unnecessary things.

Her husband, John, was currently on a mission with Torchwood. He wasn't the happiest to join, but in the end, its what he needed. There was no way that he could spend his life in an office job or something where he had to be still. This way, he can continue to save the world, and use his skills.

Rose had the same job, but today was her day off. With the Torchwood team being so big in this universe, most employees could get away with having a day or so off every few weeks, although they would still have to be on call when needed.

"Ow!" Rose cried out. She had bumped into a machine on the other side of the doorway in Johns' workshop. He left things in a mess in this room, so she didn't even try to bother cleaning it.

Throughout the day, Rose kept an eye on their growing TARDIS.

She remembered back to when Donna and The Doctor had given them a piece of TARDIS coral that was now theirs.

"If you shatterfry the plasmic shell and modify the dimensional stabiliserto a foldback harmonic of 36.3, you accelerate growth by the power of 59!" Donna had said.

And that's exactly what they had done. John, with a little help from Torchwood, had successfully increased the rate of growth and now, only five years later, it was nearly fully grown. John assumed it would be a week more at the most.

Rose finished her cleaning, and went to study for her exams again. Although in her original universe, she had been a high school drop-out, Rose Tyler-Noble was now one of the highest scoring students in the University Pete had told her to go to. This had been mostly without her husbands' help, yet there were some days when she would ask.

She was about twenty minutes into studying when her phone rang. When she looked to the screen, she groaned. It was Torchwood. She didn't really want to deal with another mission, but it was what she had to do.

"Yeah?" She answered

"Rose, its Dad" came a voice

"Oh, Hey Dad" Rose replied "What do you have for me this time?"

"I'm sorry honey, there's no mission, but I need you to come down here" His voice seemed so distraught and sad, that she was starting to worry

"What's going on?" She spoke as she got up and put her shoes on, holding the phone to her ear with her shoulder.

"There was an unexpected attack on one of the teams today, some killed, some badly injured… I have to go! I'm sorry Rose, but I need you to come down here!" He yelled as he hung up

Upon hearing this, she froze. John's mission had been today. What if he had been killed?


Getting down to Torchwood was easy, as her home was close to the base. She ran inside, almost forgetting to go through security protocols, and running through the halls until she got to the medical unit.

"Rose" came a voice behind her

As she turned, she saw Jackie, who probably had no business there, except to console her daughter.

"What's going on Mum? Where's John? Is he alive?" Rose spurted questions quickly and looked rather upset, as anyone would be in this situation.

"He's in there Rose," Jackie spoke quietly, pointing to a door down the hall "But we don't know what's wrong! He came in like this!" Jackie called to her daughter, who had taken off; racing down the hall towards the room her husband was in.

Thrusting the door open, she saw Pete standing next to a bed, with a doctor checking up on the patient. Pete turned to her, and looked back down to the bed, and as he stepped away, Rose saw her husband.

His eyes were open and he was fully conscious, and she couldn't see what was wrong with him. He smiled to her, as she walked closer.

"Hey, honey, its okay, I'm fine.." John spoke, lifting his hand to touch hers. "Well, not in the greatest condition, but I'm alive"

"There is no way that you are fine Tyler-Noble, tell her whats wrong," Pete spoke with a harsh voice

Rose looked at Pete, shocked that he was acting like this. She then looked to John to see the smile leave his face, yet his eyes full of emotion all the same.

"Whats wrong?" Rose spoke quietly, as she sat on the bed next to him, taking one of his hand into both of hers.

"The mission today, was to scope out this crack. A creature came out, and was poisonous. No one in this universe had seen it, but I—other me, had encountered once or twice" He paused "A few of us were bitten, and all the full-humans who were died."

Rose looked extremely worried, but edged him to continue

"I was also bitten, but I didn't die. I'm still part Time Lord. But, not enough." He spoke quietly "I'm slowly loosing function of my body, and in about a week or two, I'm most likely going to…. Die"

At this point, tears were coming out of both his and her eyes. Rose was angry at the universe, and sad because of everything.

"Is… is there anything we can do?" Rose asked quietly

"You can't, the only person who would ever know the cure is The Doctor, we don't have the materials in this universe." He said

"But the creature itself, it's not from this universe, so where is it from?" Pete asked from behind Rose, placing a hand on her shoulder.

"No… actually,…. That's it!" John exclaimed "Rose, do you still have your phone? The one with the TARDIS number?"

"Yeah, I kept it after you were created, why?" Rose asked, confused.

"Because if I'm right, and I know I'm right, the universe is cracking, therefore, we can contact The Doctor!" He laughed out

At this, Rose began to grin. Not only was she going to save her husband's life, she was going to see her beloved Doctor again.
