Same Man, One Heart. (Part One)

Disclaimer: Doctor Who isn't mine. The fic idea is though.

Authors Note: This is an odd little idea I got daydreaming after an exam. Hope you like it!


Donna and Rose's Mum stood watching the scene before them. Both Doctors walked to stand either side of Rose. Her blonde hair blowing in the cold wind Rose asked 10, 'Standing on this beach on the worst day of my life. What was the last thing you said to me?'

'I said Rose Tyler.'

'Yeah, and how was that sentence gonna end?'

'Does it need saying?' He raised his eyebrows.

Rose turned to 10.5 who whispered something in her ear. She stared into his dark brown eyes before wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him. 10 swallowed and quietly walked away from any chance of seeing Rose again. Donna and 10 stepped inside the Tardis and it began to dematerialise. In the shock of hearing it leave Rose broke away from the kiss to see the Tardis disappear into nothing. 10.5 slowly took her hand and squeezed it. 'I'm sorry.'

'It's not your fault. You can't help being alive. You had no say in being created. Why didn't he just take us both though?'

'To protect you and so that you can do for me what you did for him. He was so scared that day he nearly lost you when you went hurtling into that void and saved Pete saved you. He really thought that you were going to die and he didn't know what to do. The Doctor would rather have you safe here with a copy of himself then to have your life risked again because if you had died that day he wouldn't have known what to do with himself.'

'I can look after myself. I'm not a child.'

'We all know that but he wouldn't be able to go through the pain of losing you again. Martha and Donna helped him get his mind back together. Leaving you here is the only way to make sure that you don't nearly die because of him again. He loves you and that's why he left you.'

'Oi! You two' Jacqui Tyler shouted from behind them, 'We need to get a move on. Pete's held up at work so he can't pick us up til the morning.'

'Come on. I am going to go quickly; I don't want another slap from your mum. They hurt!'

Rose laughed at that and followed 10.5 up the sand dune to the road. Suddenly she heard him cry out in pain and then crumple into the sand. 'Doctor!' Rose called out, but only got a cry of pain in response. She ran over. 'Doctor?' She said again. The Doctor didn't answer, he was shaking badly. It felt as if a whole chunk of his being had been erased. He didn't have enough time to dwell on it though because he passed out into a sea of blackness.

TO BE CONTINUED!
