A.N. Doctor Who and all its characters belong to their respective owners I don't own any of it except in my dreams :) So I'm alittle rusty. It's been a while since I've written anything but here you go. I hope to have time to continue this for a while. I would appreciate constructive critism a lot. Oh and I'm from the good old US of A but I'm trying my hardest to use the proper venacular and slang that all the characters would use. Enjoy!

Silence. It took nearly an hour for Pete Tyler to arrive at Bad Wolf Bay with little Tony. That hour was the most confusing hour of Rose Tyler's life. Her mind was racing. So fast it began to ache. She saw the Doctor, her Doctor, stepping into the TARDIS and leaving. Did he not feel the pain anymore?

"Oh God, what if it never even mattered to him."

The though saturated her brain and precipitated a cloud of memories that made the man sitting right next to her nothing but a fog of heartache. A mere sixty minutes ago he was given to her almost as a gift, but right now she could hardly even see him as a consolation prize. Her Doctor wanted to do what was best for her, but she knew that all she needed was him, the man that she loved from the beginning no matter how impossible he was. All she got of him though was a copy. A copy with one heart and a human life expectancy, and that was more impossible to grasp than any distance she'd ever traveled through space and time. If she would ever be able to love him like her Doctor, the real Doctor, Rose hadn't the slightest idea.

"I just have to give her time," The new Doctor repeated in his head what must have been a thousand times.

"This is just new to her. It's new to me too but then again I guess everything is. But I am him, and he loved her more than unconditionally, therefore, so do I. I remember every thought, every feeling, every countless time that the original Doctor thought of how beautiful she looked, how many times he wanted to kiss her."

Regardless of the first Doctor, this new Doctor knew that he thought this too, and they were his thoughts now. He didn't need the original to know that he loved her

"Rose," he said as he hopped off of the boulder he was sitting on.

Again silence. He had been born into madness and chaos. This was a first, but he prayed that this would be the first of many first he would experience with Rose Tyler. His first proper house, his first job, settling down, getting married, having his first child; if he had it his way he would be living out his new, and only, half human life with her doing all these things.

As he approached her she put her head in between her knees, and he swore he saw her shake. The Doctor put his hand on her shoulder and sat down right next to her.

"Do you want to talk?"

She shrugged her shoulders and shook some more. So he kneeled in front of her, took her head in his hands, pulled it out from between her knees and looked deep into her teary hazel eyes.

"I'll wait however long you want me to Rose Tyler. I'm not giving up," he said with all the sincerity heart possessed.

Rose stared back into his eyes just a matter of seconds then returned her head to its former hiding spot in her knees. Then they sat there. They sat there in their bubble of silence until Jackie broke it and said, "Come on you lot our ride's here."
