She was certain that she had left her mobile aboard the TARDIS that day.
Being told that she'd "best bundle up" with the explained ramblings of "hairless apes" and "frozen water," Rose Tyler figured falling on her bum was the most likely outcome of trying to run about taking pictures. Running was easy. But balancing on ice? No, ta. Rose knew this particular adventure would have her wrapped around the Doctor's arm, pulled snug into his side. To keep herself steady and from falling, of course. No other reason why. Which definitely was not the reason for taking Rose to Woman Wept in the first place. Definitely not. Not after weeks of having Jack aboard, flirting shamelessly with the blonde, especially when the Doctor was around. Nope. Why would he be jealous? Who even said he was jealous? Not himself, that's who. Or who not. Because he's not.
Oh no, the Doctor just wanted to show Rose somewhere beautiful because she's b- said she wanted to go somewhere nice and cold. And that's what Woman Wept is, after all. Cold. And nice.. Very… Nice. Like-
But yes, Rose Tyler had in fact left her mobile on the console that day. That was, until Captain Jack Harkness saw it and decided, being the nice, charming fellow he is, thought that he would take some pictures for Rose. All of time and space, and even though they could return anywhere and any when, Rose still enjoyed trying to "capture the moment." It could be a good moment, a bad moment, any moment. But every time she saw a new sky, felt a new ground beneath the soles of her trainers, let a new smell of a new environment seep through her nose, she always made sure to take it all in. She could land somewhere beautiful like Agrillect, an agricultural wine planet, with miles and miles of vineyards stretched out under the cream colored sun and complementary, bright lavender sky. Or she could step out of the TARDIS and end up in the middle of nowhere with nothing but dirt and garbage and moonlight on a planet like Agrectill (where they ended up when they had first tried to go to Agrillect) and she'd still stop for a moment to take it all in. The first time Jack had gotten her drunk off hypervodka, she admitted in secret to him that "anywhere with the Doctor 'slovely," and that she liked to carry her mobile about to not only have a way to share and remember her time with the Doctor, but she also fancied taking a few shots of his bum every now and then, and that sometimes taking a picture of a new planet was really an excuse to get a picture of him (which was the case for Agrectill.) And maybe, just maybe, Jack had taken Rose's mobile the day of Woman Wept because he wanted to see those pictures, since Rose had cheekily refused to show him, despite his half-hearted threats to tell the Doctor on her.
But on the day that the three time travelers went to Woman Wept, Jack hung back a few paces behind Rose and the Doctor- who, in fact, where snuggled up into each other's sides, with Rose's arms wrapped tightly around the Doctor's arm -and went through the pictures on Rose's mobile. That is, until the Doctor abruptly stopped up ahead, grabbing Rose's shoulder as she swayed from the unexpected skid on the ice. Squinting his eyes to get a better look, but still staying back a few feet, Jack parted his lips and took a soft inhale of breath to ask whatever was the matter when he noticed Rose shivering, despite the gloves, scarf, hat, and thick jacket (all in a surprisingly matching pastel pink, aside from the black leather gloves, that Jack must admit somehow all made her pale face and flushed cheeks look all the more beautiful.)
The photo that Rose Tyler would find on her mobile just a few days later would make her breath caught and her heart stop for a good second or two.
"You'll catcha cold, y'know," Rose, with her tongue poking out between her teeth as she smiled, had told the Doctor as he started to take his leather jacket off.
"Yeah, well better me than you. 'Sides, I'm a Time Lord, not easily sick, what with my superior Time Lord biology n all that. Plus look at you, Rose, you've not stopped shaking the past 18 minutes and 13 seconds. Now, c'mere."
The picture Jack took on Rose's mobile showed the softened expression of the Doctor's face looking down upon Rose's own flushed features that had nearly started to glow the moment the Doctor had finished straightening out his big, leather jacket around Rose's smaller, now still, frame, his hands resting near her waist. If you look closely enough at the two traveler's profiles, you might see the slightest hints of beginnings of smiles and the definite gleaming shines in their eyes. In the background, the icy waves of the water had grown upwards, skewing outwards throughout the middle and dipping inwards towards the middle, some of their points nearly grazing each other from the angle of the shot. Looking closer, Rose almost swore together, the inward curves of the waves looked like-
