Author's Note
Yes, I know that this plot has been done, multiple times in fact. But I've been in a fluffy and angsty mood as of late, and this sort of plot seemed to fit my mood. I hope you guys enjoy, and please let me know whether you like it or not by reviewing, even if it's constructive criticism. Please be nice about it though if you do leave it. :)
Prologue
"Wait, wait, wait!" The Doctor halted at her request. "What about protection, will we not need to use it?"
The Doctor inwardly breathed a sighed of relief, worried that she wanted to stop, especially after they'd come this far (with a little help from some liquid courage). "Don't worry about that. Whilst we're compatible with our bodies, it is 99.95% unlikely that we'll conceive." He paused. "Do you want to stop?"
"No!" Rose said quickly, fearful that if they stopped now, then they would never reach this point again, and they would both pretend that this never even happened. "As long as you're sure that we can't conceive, then I want to continue."
"Right then, Rose Tyler," the Doctor growled, waggling his eyebrows suggestively. "Prepare to have your mind blown."
Damn the Doctor. And damn his 99.95% certainty.
The universes it seemed wanted to work against them, and now Rose found herself in the middle of the night, standing in the bathroom, glaring at the white stick that sat atop the counter, taking forever to make up its mind. Rose was fairly certain of what the result would be, but she wanted it confirmed for herself. She'd had bouts of nausea and morning sickness for the past couple of weeks, and Rose wasn't stupid, she'd connected the dots. Her mother wasn't stupid either, who'd questioned her and had bought her what she needed to take the test in the first place.
Finally, the test beeped, indicating that it was done. Taking a deep, shuddering breath, Rose picked up the test to see the result. She was pregnant, of about three months according to the test.
Rose was pregnant, with the Doctor's child.
Damn the Doctor and his 99.95% certainty.
Jackie Tyler awoke early the following morning, her own pregnancy reminding her to use the bathroom urgently, and to then get some breakfast. She put on her robe, and proceeded to head downstairs, when she saw Rose's bedroom door slightly ajar. Curious, Jackie gently pushed the door open further, unsurprised to see her daughter wide awake, laying in the bed and clutching something tightly in her hand.
"Did you get any sleep?" Jackie asked, though she already knew the answer from her daughter's silence. In fact, Rose hadn't even acknowledged her presence. "Sweetheart, I know you don't want to her this, but –"
"I'm pregnant," Rose blurted suddenly, her voice devoid of any emotion. "With the Doctor's baby."
