The Life and Love story of Rose Marion Tyler
Rose Tyler wiped away a tear as she sat in front of her laptop. She thought of the Time Lord-Human-Metacrisis Doctor she had come to realise too late that she loved him just as much as his full Time Lord counterpart in the other reality. If only she had not realised too late, nor been far too blinded and caught up by her love and hatred for his other self.
She closed her eyes as she accessed both his and her own memories, slowly drifting into her memories, a place she found herself in quite a lot in the past months. She thought back on why they were in Cardiff to begin with and what had led them to the tragic disaster that eventually did happen.
She thought of how she and John had been called into work on a certain day four months after they had arrived in that reality. They worked part time for Torchwood three, Cardiff, where the head of that branch was none other than that realities version of Captain Jack Harkness. This was something which both Rose and John were delighted to discover when they decided to take on part-time positions at that branch.
John and Rose worked part-time for Torchwood, having decided get out of that realities London, and as far from Jackie Tyler as possible, whilst still in the same reality. This was entirely for John's benefit. It was after six weeks of being back in that reality, that both she and Pete were terrified that John and Jackie were going to end up killing each other if they did not at least put a fifty mile radius between the arguing pair.
Pete was able to understand what his wife could not. That being that John was not responsible for Rose's pregnancy. No, that responsibility went straight to the Time Lord in the other reality. He got the fact his twin grandchildren had two hearts each, meaning they were not John's, who only had one heart and was not Time Lord enough to produce children with two hearts.
Pete also understood that Rose and The Doctor had spent one night together during the time after they fought The Daleks on the Crucible and won. They had made love that same night after The TARDIS was recharging before she even attempted to try and crossover the void and into the other reality.
Jackie Tyler still could not let go of the fact Rose had yet again had her heart broken and left on that same cursed beach in Norway. But worse yet, he had not only left her behind, but with another version of himself, as well as managing to in fact unknowingly get her pregnant.
She constantly badgered John over what his counterpart had done. He was not present to take Jackie's abuse, so who better than his part human counterpart who unfortunately was present and right smack in the line of fire, oh the poor bastard, honestly.
What neither them realised until the wrath of one JacquelineAndreaSuzetteTyler was right in his face, and without any actual sign of intending to back down nor cease fire, was the fact this version of The Doctor fought back with whatever she gave him in spades.
He stunned them all when he fought her verbally tooth and nail. Who knew how explosive an argument between Jackie Tyler and a version of The Doctor with the personality traits of one fiery and I take no shit or prisoners Donna Nobel could be? But honestly who would have thought it possible, not Jackie Tyler that's for sure.
Rose would never forget how gobsmacked her mother had been when The Doctor had howled and bitched right back at her, not once backing down or cowering. If it had not gotten to the lethal point where one or the other was ready to strangle the other then it would have been damn well hilarious.
She knew The Doctor would have gotten one hell of a kick out of watching his Metacrisis self bringing Jackie Tyler down by more than a few pegs. His ninth self in particular would have most likely been weeping and cheering in sheer bloody joy.
So in the end it had been decided that she and John would get out of London and moving to Cardiff. One because it had an excellent and well respected University, one of the most highly prestigious in the country in fact. This meant it was somewhere John could happily work when not working for Torchwood.
And two it had a Torchwood branch that monitored the rift. And honestly, who knew more about the rift then any of them, The Doctor of course. This was ideal for them both as they were both doing something they loved, while in the process their relationship was progressing brilliantly, both discovering just how much they really loved each other.
The fact of Donna Nobel's personality and the occasional habit that was known to shine through proved to be a great source of entertainment and a bonding tool between the pair. Rose adored the fact that she seem to have more in common with this version of The Doctor then the original Time Lord back in the other reality.
So eventually a month after moving to Cardiff, when she was not working at Torchwood, Rose had tried her hand at writing and seemed to have a talent for it like she had never expected. She was currently working on her life story having discovered she was pregnant four weeks after they had arrived back in that reality. This meant she wanted her children to know how she had met and fallen in love with their father.
John on the other hand was a chemistry and physicist professor at the local Cardiff University where he went under the name of Doctor John Tyler. He loved his job he really did. You did not have to know him on a close and personal basis to be able to see how much he in fact enjoyed his work at the university. No it practically shined out of him and could be seen in the time and dedication he put into his lessons and how he treated the students and other members of staff.
He had decided to teach after Pete had arranged for legal documents of proof of identity and certificates stating he had a PHD in chemistry and quantum physics, making him a Doctor of science. If there was one subject John could do in his sleep and with pure and effortless relish it was anything of a scientific nature.
They had been in that reality close to four months now and Rose was nowhere near close to showing any signs of her pregnancy yet. She wouldn't for at least another three months due to the fact Gallifreyan pregnancies last a grand total of twelve months much to her complete and utter dismay. Because they lasted longer, also meant you could detect a pregnancy at as early as only four weeks.
Rose continued to sit at her desk, her eyes closed as another single tear trailed down her cheek. Her hand was placed over her seven month firmly rounded stomach, as she thought of how both she and John were shot only for one of them not to survive.
