Author's Notes: First Doctor Who fic, and I know loadsa people have done this, a "post Doomsday 10Rose" thing, but I couldn't resist – we all love it really!

It took three attempts for this chapter – the other two just didn't seem to work. This is perfect.

Review please!

The Doctor sighed as he pulled the lever in the TARDIS. Here he was, three months after he'd burned up a sun to say goodbye, and it still was not enough.

I love you.

Quite right too. And I suppose… Rose Tyler –

He never had the chance to say it. But he felt it. Always. It burned inside of him like nothing he'd ever known before.

And it was killing him. More than anything else; in nine-hundred years, he'd never experienced pain like what he was feeling now, and for the past three months.

That was it. Three months exactly. Not long to a Time Lore in reality, but psychologically it was an eternity and a half.

Sighing again, the Doctor collapsed onto the chair in his control room and put his feet up.

'Where're you gonna take me, old girl?' he asked the TARDIS. It rumbled in reply.

The screen on the control panel lit up, and showed a page of text in Gallifreyan. The Doctor gazed at it.

'No. That's impossible. You can't take me there. We'd rip the Universe in half!' exclaimed the Doctor. 'Don't do it, girl. I'd love to, don't get me wrong, but don't. I don't want to destroy the world.'

The TARDIS rumbled in understanding. The Doctor ran his hands through his hair before stalking off to his room. He lay back on his bed and let unknown tears to stream down his face, showing the true emotion he felt, that no Time Lord should ever feel.

'Rose Marion Tyler. Get your lazy arse outta bed NOW!' cried an exasperated Jackie.

Every morning Rose was so far in her dream world that it took at least ten minutes before she would stir.

'Mum?' Rose croaked.

'Yes sweetheart?' answered her mother.

'I had the dream again. He's still finding a way through,' Rose said.

'Rose, sweetheart, the Doctor said it was impossible for him to come back -'

'No! Mum you don't understand! The Doctor haas faced the impossible and changed it! He's brilliant! He can do the impossible! He can get through!'

'Rose -'

'No mum, don't bother. I just want him back and I'm willing to wait. Three months and I still haven't lost faith in him,' she spoke as if these words were going to be her last, 'now go, Mum. I'm okay, I'm awake. Go.'

Jackie left her daughter sitting in her bed. Rose raised her knees up to her chest and wrapped her arms around them, resting her head in them. Tears began a familiar path down her face, as they did every morning, every afternoon, and every evening.

But still, she knew he was coming for her. He always did. She had faith in him like no-one else.

Because she loved him. He was her moon and stars, her everything. And that was all that mattered to her.

He may not of had time to say it, but Rose knew it.

He loved her too.
