The Return of Badwolf.
A/N this story was written by a friend of mine (rosey101) and me. It's our thoughts on how rose could have returned. (We wrote this at the beginning of the year before season 4 started). Here we go…
Chapter one.
Rose jumped from her seat as she heard the beautiful groan of the TARDIS. She ran to her large bay window and looked out. There was not blue box. Grabbing her jacket off the hook she sprinted for the door, pulling it one as she went.
She ran home, she slammed the door shut, looking around she shouted, "Sarah-Jane? Sweetie?" There was a small yelp and a 2 month old golden Labrador padded into the hallway from one of the many rooms, in Tyler manor.
"Not you, Renee. Sarah-Jane come here." A small brown haired girl staggered in, "Mamma!"
"Hey sweetie." Rose picked up the toddler, "How's mummy's favourite girl?"
"Grand mummy says mouth is growing fasta then the rest of me! What does that mean?" Rose smiled at her daughter, she reminded her of him, Sarah-Janes father, the doctor. "It means you have a large vocabulary."
"What's a vocalarary?" Sarah-Jane says butchering the long word.
"Never mind, love. Mum, you here?" Rose yelled out for her mother.
"Oh course I'm here, it's not like I'm off saving the world or anything, I'm here like always." Came a harsh voice from the kitchen.
"Mum you know I couldn't survive with out you." Rose said as she walked into the kitchen, placing her daughter on the kitchen bench, "I heard it again mum, I heard him, he's back!"
Jackie looked at her daughter as smiled sadly, "Rose, no. I never heard him coming, only you ever think he's coming, but Rose he can't."
Rose's head fell her, wet tears threatened to fall form her eyes, deep down she knew her mother was right.
"I thought that this time it was real."
"Sweetie, I miss him too, I want him back too. God I want me grand daughter to have a father. But you know he can't, and it hurts me to see you hurt. It wasn't him." Jackie repeated, grabbing Rose's small hand and giving it a small squeeze.
A knock came from the door.
Jackie dropped Rose's hand.
"I wanna get it, I wanna get it!" cried Sarah-Jane as she waddled to the front room.
Come on then darling." Rose picked her up as she caught up with her and swung her onto her hip.
Making it to the door, she undid the automatic deadlock and opened to door.
"Hell-JACK?!" Rose placed Sarah-Jane on the ground and hugged the man in front of her. He hugged back, twirling her around, kissing her gently on the cheek and neck.
"How?" fresh tears sprung to her eyes and she let them fall.
"I think it's because my team opened the rift a while ago and it's been mucking up ever since." Jack noticed the brunette child, "Who is this?"
"This is my daughter, Sarah-Jane," rose said off handily, "You opened the rift, are you stupid?" she hit him over the head with her hand, he laughed at her antics.
"You have a daughter? Is it his?" jack bent down to get a better look at Rose's daughter. His eyes took in the doctor's hair, short, brown and messy; he took in Rose's eyes.
"Yes, his and my daughter. Sarah-Jane meet Uncle Jack." Rose picked up Sarah-Jane and looked jacks face, it was in complete shock. He brought his hand up and stroked Sarah-Janes face, "I never knew, Rose, I'm so sorry. You can't go home, can you? Wait, you finally did it!? Oh my god." Jacks face when from great sorrow to cheeky, his smile went from ear to ear.
"Yes, jack, you're a big boy you can use the word sex." Rose laughed as she motioned for him to enter the manor.
"Who is it, Rose?" Came a voice from the kitchen, Jackie Tyler came out wearing a pink apron and waving a wooden spoon.
"Mum, met Captain Jack Harkness, he travelled with me and the doctor." Rose said, as Jack walked up to Jackie picked up the hand with out the wooden spoon and kissed it. "It's an honour, Ms Tyler." He said smiling.
Jackie laughed, Rose recognised that laugh, her mother hadn't used it since she came to this universe. "Bit full of himself ain't he." Jackie said, but she did not pull her hand away.
"Mum!" whined Rose, "Don't you have to go see Pete?" Rose reminded her mum.
"Okay, but when I'm back we need to talk about this, about how he got here, 'coz you know this could end badly." Jackie handed the wooden spoon to Rose and took off the apron putting it on the table; she left, with a nod to her daughter and the lonely traveller.
"Your mum is cute." Jack smirked as rose rolled her eyes.
"Shut up, captain innuendo. What's been up?"
"Not much, you know saving the world, the normal everyday stuff." Jack laughed again, he was happy, happier then he had been for years, there was no doctor, but there was Rose, and she was as beautiful as he remembered.
Rose laughed dryly, "I miss the saving the world thing, and the running, I miss running, I'm here filling out papers for the rest of my life." Jack looked at her sadly; the sad moment was destroyed fortunately by Sarah-Jane who had been watching the exchange of stories wondering what's going on.
"Ice scream, mummy!" Rose laughed as her daughter ran into the kitchen and tried to open the freezer door. "You want some Jack?" Rose asked as she opened the door and took out the tub of ice cream.
Jack took it from her hands so she could get plates out, "Banana?" laughter once again erupted form Jacks mouth, "She is so much like her father." He whispered, as he watched the little girl, as she turned on the T.V and laid out in front of it. Jack turned to the mother, watching her bottom as she bent down to pick up a spoon she had dropped, throwing it in the sink, she turned to face him, she looked as beautiful as she always had but something's had changed, her eyes no longer had the spark of youth in them, her forehead had frown lines and her clothes, once bright, youthful clothes had turned into office wear, tight skirts, stockings, blazers and ties, she didn't look like the old Rose.
Rose scooped ice cream into the bowls, calling Sarah-Jane over, she gave the bowl to her and the two year old ran back to the T.V, "Sarah-Jane Gallifrey Tyler, don't for get a spoon!" Rose yelled as she held out a spoon to her daughter.
A few minutes later, Sarah-Jane was sitting watching the teletubies, Rose sat in silence with jack until she asked him a question she had been dying to ask, "Have you seen him?" she whispered so it almost seemed the question was taboo.
"I travelled with him for a while," Jack admitted, "for a few weeks, or if you count the forgotten year, were I was locked in a basement, then about a year and 3 weeks." Jack grabbed Roses hands; rose turned his hands upwards and traced the lines with her index finger, "Only you could get trapped in a basement for a year Jack." She laughed sadly, Jack had seen him, travelled with him, and she wanted to ask if the Doctor missed her but she was scared, she didn't want to hear the answer.
"I'm special like that." Jack said, oblivious to what was going on in Rose's mind. Tears again fell from Roses eyes, "oh Rosy don't cry." Jack pulled her into a hug and Rose held him, both holding onto each other for dear life.
"I miss him." She admitted, "I do to." Jack whispered into her ear.
"Maybe it's a good thing I'm here." Rose muttered. She laughed at her own joke, "Other wise you would be alone and that always ends badly." Jack pulled away form her and saw her smile, a smile that went from ear to ear, there was the old Rose. "That hurt Tyler that really hurt." He laughed with her, in a short moment they were gasping for breath.
For that moment Rose was happy, the happiest she had been in along while.
