Insulted, he felt. When the Doctor called him a murderer. After all, he 'murdered' the Daleks to save everyone's life. And if it wasn't for him, everyone –especially Rose- would be dead.

His mind was still a blank when Rose asked him, about what he – or the other him- had said, the last time they were on Bad Wolf Bay. Too shy to admit it out loud, he slowly brought his face, next to hers, making sure that his lips were just millimeters away from her ear, before saying those three magical words that won him a wonderful kiss, from the woman of his life.

Of course, that kiss was interrupted when the 'real' Doctor suddenly left and Rose stopped to see the TARDIS going away. Finally, Rose was all his.

"Pete! Quickly come now! We are stuck in Bad Wolf Bay because of The Doctor! Oh yes, did I forget to mention, we have another Doctor? He's not a Timelord like the real one. He's merely human now." Jackie yelled.

Upon hearing her say that he was 'merely human now', The Doctor couldn't help but tear up a bit. He knew the other him could've just taken him along in the TARDIS. But no, he had chosen to stick with Rose. Was he starting to regret his decision?

He and Rose sat on a rock nearby, while waiting for help. They hadn't let go of their hands yet. He was again in deep thought when Rose suddenly interrupted him.

"You're him right? You're the exact same man I travelled across the entire of time and space with right? Or are you, simply just a human, who shares the same brain and memories of the one I loved?"

"I just don't know. We do share the same personalities. But, I don't think we're the same man. I'm human now. And what's more, I have a tiny bit of Donna in me. I guess you can say I'm not him anymore. Right now, for the first time ever, I'm experiencing a whole ton of emotion, and I can't really control it anymore. I guess it's the human side of me.

"But that isn't necessarily a bad thing too, Rose. Now that I'm human, I begin to see so many things I couldn't understand. Like when I left you, for example, back at the game station. I now understand that I shouldn't have tricked you like that. I'm starting to somehow understand, how the human mind works. And understand right now why you humans always get so emotional."

"When you said you loved me, was it you saying it, or your memories? You may have loved me then, but, as you say; you're a different person. A completely different person. It's just that, you share the same memories as him."

The Doctor sat there for a few seconds, before saying, "Rose Tyler, I don't give a damn if I love you because of the memories in me or not. But trust me. I have never been so madly in love with you. Right now, I want to grab you and kiss you again, and again, and again. I have never felt like this when I was a Timelord. Back then, I only felt for you, emotionally. But right now, I want you physically as well."

He said that without any hesitation or pause between any of the sentences. He was shocked at how he suddenly burst out a confession like that. And he felt embarrassed too. What if Rose thinks I'm a creep now? For saying something so abruptly? I just told her I loved her physically as well! That technically meant that I also wanted to have sex with her! The Doctor thought, he was now starting at the sea, waiting for her response. After a few seconds, he turned his head to her, and saw, that her face was red. He'd never seen her blush so badly before.

"D-did you really mean that? That you're madly in love with me?"

"Yes. I am." The Doctor said shyly.

Nothing else was said for the next hour. They just sat there, admiring the scenery, until the help their father sent for arrived. The Doctor just felt so happy. Being able to talk about how he felt and not be rejected by her. At the moment, it didn't really matter how she felt about him.

When they arrived back at Tyler mansion, Jackie went into the main house, while Rose, went into another wing of the house. The Doctor, naturally followed Rose.

"Why aren't you going into the main house?"

"This entire wing, is mine. This is technically my house, connected to mum and dad's house. There's even a door in the middle of the hallway connecting this wing to the house so I can have my own privacy."

"So," The Doctor said flirtatiously, "we are all alone, are we?" and he put his hand lovingly around her waist.

Rose slapped his hand and said "No. Not yet. I still need to think about what happened today. I can always just forget that you're human like me now and think that you're the exact same man I love. But, no. I can't. I need to clear my head first, if you don't mind. Also, I don't have a spare room, unless you don't mind sleeping with dangerous weapons my team created, so you'll be sleeping on the couch."

Feeling a bit rejected, the Doctor sat on the couch while Rose went upstairs to take a shower. Before he knew it, the Doctor was fast asleep.
