AN: Sooooo….I recently started watching Doctor Who and had this creepy idea about the end of Doomsday. Because THAT was…unacceptable! I literally cried. Anyway, I hope you'll like this. I'll try to upload as often as possible!

Chapter 1

She simply couldn't hold on any longer. The Void was too strong, she was too weak, she let go. The Doctor looked at her with huge eyes, full of fear and anger. She was never going to see him again, the man of her dreams and the one she loved more than anything else. A single tear escaped her, now she was going to die, go straight to hell and nothingness. The Void pulled even stronger on her. Suddenly her feet hit a solid wall and she fell to the ground. Her head hurt like crazy, every bone in her body was throbbing and she felt incredibly sick. Any second now she would throw up. Suddenly strong arms wrapped around her and she was lifted up. Her face fell against a skinny shoulder and someone was stroking her hair and calling her name.

"Rose….Come on, open your eyes. Your heart is beating, I hear it beating, I feel it beating! Please, please, please come back to me!"

It took all of her strength, but finally she could open one heavy eyelid. The face of her Doctor hovered above her, staring at her with the same mixture of fear and anger she'd seen before. He really didn't look happy at all, but if he was mad at her or at something else she didn't know. And since she didn't have the energy to think about it, she closed her eyes and let the darkness overtake her.

The next time she opened her eyes, Rose found herself in her bedroom in the TARDIS. Her head was still pounding like hell, her left leg felt weird, but she felt better than before. Some of her energy had returned and she was ready to get up. At least that's what she thought, but then a hand settled on her shoulder and pushed her down. The Doctor sat on her bedside, smiling brightly and looking as fashionably and handsome as ever.

"Ah, you're back! That's very good! How are you feeling? Does your head still hurt? Can you feel your left leg? Blimey, Rose, I'm glad the Void didn't get your soul before it closed. THAT would've been hard to explain, don't you think? Your mom would kill me…"

"Doctor? What happened?" she asked and grasped his hand.

"Well, the Void was too strong and you let go. But it closed only milliseconds before you were pulled though, so you smashed against the wall. You sorta broke your leg in the process and that might take a while to heal. We're speaking of one or two days here. Time Lord medicine. You were out for four days, so the rest of your body should be healed. Except maybe the headache. That is an aftereffect from the Void. You see, the Void tried to split your soul from your body, and for a few seconds I almost believed that it had succeeded. As you can see, it didn't and you're still very much you. My glorious, brilliant Rose Tyler."

"What about my Mom and Mickey? Are they alright?"

"Yes, yes, they should be fine. Pete took them to his universe, and I'm afraid they're trapped there. Don't worry, they'll be fine. I'm currently searching for a way to contact them one last time, but I'm not making any promises here. I have to admit, I spent most of the last four days here, to be honest, so I didn't manage to get a lot of work done."

"And…where are we?"

"Oh, inside the TARDIS of course. We're currently somewhere over sixteenth century Germany. At least I believe that. Doesn't really matter though, does it? You're back and everything's alright again."

Then he leaned over her and pressed a long kiss against her forehead, one of his hands gently stroking her cheek. Rose wanted to weep and laugh at the same time. And since she couldn't decide what to do, she threw her arms around her Doctor and pulled him on top of her. He let out a startled grunt but didn't stop her. Not that he could've stopped her, gravity was working against him. But in order to not put any strain on her injuries he rolled them over so that he was on his back and her head was resting against his chest. That felt so much better. His skin was cool and helped with her headache.

"Never pegged you for one to cuddle, Doctor." she joked and hugged him tighter.

"Well, I never knew that I could cuddle either. Must be all your fault, Rose Tyler. And now go back to sleep, your body has to heal properly. And so does your mind, if I might add. Now, close your eyes and go back to sleep."

But she didn't close her eyes, she only opened them further and held on to him stronger.

"Will you be there when I wake up? I don't want to be alone again."

"Don't worry, Rose, I will be there. I will always be there."

He was there, just like he'd promised. Lying next to her, her head on his chest and his hand in hers as if almost no time had passed. But her leg felt different, it didn't hurt at all. That would mean….four days. Four days have passed since she's last been awake.

"Doctor?"

"Yes, I'm here. I promised, right? I'm never going to leave you."

"Am I save now? Am I okay again?"

"Yes, you are. Your body has fully recovered, and so has your head. I've prepared some breakfast, maybe we should get up and have something to eat. You humans need an awful lot of food to keep you going, and I'm quite impressed that your body managed to get you through a whole week without shutting down. Now, off we go. I don't want your mother to hit me with something simply because I didn't feed you enough."

"Oi, what is that thing with you and my mother? Do you fancy her or something?"

Her tone was playful, but a sudden worry invaded her heart. Was the Doctor in love with her mother? Was that the reason that they stopped at home so often and visited Jackie all the time? Oh God, how pathetic WAS she?

"Rose, I most certainly do NOT fancy your mother. Where is this coming from?" the Doctor asked. He seemed really worried all of sudden.

"Well, every time I'm in your arms you start talking about my mother. You could give a girl a wrong idea."

"That wouldn't have anything to do with distracting myself from having you in my arms, right?"

They looked at each other completely surprised that he'd said it, but the Doctor jumped up before Rose could even so much as mutter a response. He left her in the bedroom and simply disappeared, left her all alone with her thoughts and her stupid vivid imagination that wanted to believe that her Doctor really wanted her in his arms and had to control himself every time he did. But that couldn't be true, it was impossible, wasn't it?

The Doctor returned with a plate full of eggs and bacon, some toast and a glass of milk.

"There, that should be enough to keep you going for a while. I'm in the control room for now, flying us off to God knows where. You just stay in bed and….no, Rose, stay in bed! Why is nobody ever listening to me! Rose, get back here right now. Get…okay, at least sit down and have some food."

He shoved her onto the seat in the control room and the plate in her hands. The blonde obeyed, of course, and tried to avert the Doctors eyes. The silence was uncomfortable and heavy, but neither the Time Lord nor his companion dared to speak. They had crossed a line there, a line that shouldn't have been crossed. But it wasn't the only line they were going to cross, they just didn't know about it yet.

AN: What do you think?
