The doctor's hologram stared back at Rose Tyler, he couldn't think he was saying goodbye. The doctor stared at Roses lips moving as she talked and looked up at her eyes there were fresh tears running down her cheeks and then he heard it
"me, mum and the baby",
this made the doctor think baby, what whose baby he could do nothing but smile and jokingly ask
"its not"?
he secretly hoped just for moment that she was and that it was his but she told him it was her mums and he believed her the rest of there goodbye seemed to last forever. Just as the doctor was going to tell rose he loved her the connection ended and the doctor could do nothing but cry. Rose stood on the beach and cried staring at were the doctor had been only moments before. She had lied to him and he deserved to know that her mum wasn't pregnant it was in fact her, she felt so bad for lying to her beloved doctor. She could tell in his eyes when he had jokingly asked.
"it's not"?
It was almost like he wanted her to be pregnant so he would have a reason to keep her in his life. But rose knew that it was far too dangerous and she'd be putting the whole universe at risk if she had told the doctor. Rose slowly walked to her mother and Micky and gave each a hug before climbing in the car and driving away. They pulled up to Rose's childhood home and got out. Rose still hadn't told her mother about her pregnancy, she herself didn't even know how she could be pregnant but she knew one thing there was no way it could be anybody's but the doctor's.
The next morning Rose awoke in her old bedroom and immediately felt the need to throw up, she quickly jumped up, ran out of her room and into the bathroom, slamming the door behind her. Jackie Tyler awoke to the sound of her daughter retching in the hallway bathroom and got up to see if she was OK. Jackie walked into the hallway and knocked on the bathroom door
"Rose are you sick, whats going on in there?" she asked.
"I'm" Rose retched again before adding "fine".
"well you don't sound fine" Jackie replied as she opened the door to the bathroom and stepped inside, her daughter was kneeling over the toilet as pale a a sheet. Jackie kneeled down next to her daughter
"Rose whats wrong?, You were perfectly fine yesterday and you never get sick."
Rose stared at the toilet seat it was white and shiny (thanks to her mother's constant cleaning of the bathroom), she knew that she had to tell her mom what was going on. It wasn't normal just to become pregnant out of thin air. She regretted not telling the doctor right then and there he would of known what to do and if it really was his (it was she just knew it). The doctor would of known and and when this had happened. Rose kneeled there and thought of all these questions for what seemed like and eternity before looking up at her mother's piercingly blue, worried eyes and whispering
"I'm pregnant"
"What?" was all that Jackie could spit out, how could this have happened she didn't think that Rose and the doctor had that type of relation ship.
"That bastard", she shouted "I should of known as soon as he's faced with the responsibility of a child and the possibility of being tied down he would make up some story and jet off in that blue box of his. I should of known from day one not to trust him with my daughter, I just knew something like this would happen."
"mum" was all Rose could squeak out. The doctor didn't deserve this, nobody really did.
"I'm going to find that "doctor" of yours and knock some sense into his little head" she shouted getting up off of the floor.
"mum no, he doesn't know about it, I don't even know how this happened" Rose started to cry. Jackie stopped and stared at her daughter.
"Rose" Jackie sat down and hugged her daughter "how could you not know how this happened?" she asked as her daughter cried
"I didn't do anything with the doctor" she sniffled and looked her mother straight in the eye "there's just no way I could possibly be pregnant, but I think I am, actually I know I am"
"That's just not possible maybe your in some kind of depressive state where you think you pregnant because that's the only part of the doctor you would possibly be able to have left".
"It can't be he only just left yesterday and Ive been like this for weeks" she said as she remembered the day this had all happened, they had been on a strange planet with little blue people. The people had been attached by a green dinosaur creature, but they were all safe now and she was standing next to the Tardis console when it happened. She suddenly became dizzy and felt like she was going to fall, the doctor took notice and had helped her up and told her to go to bed. When she woke up all she could think of was frog tales in lemon juice, something was definitely wrong. During the course of the next week the doctor hadn't seemed to see anything wrong with Rose and by Friday she had figured it out, she was pregnant. She was going to tell the doctor what was going on but then things had happened and she had technically died. She sat there thinking about everything had happened and started crying even more as her mom held her whispering that it would all be OK but Rose knew it wouldn't be OK and she knew exactly what she needed. She looked up at her mom and whispered
"we need to go find the doctor"
" Rose you know that we can't just go find the doctor he closed the link forever and were stuck here."
"No were not there's got to be a Torch wood in this dimension and maybe that torch wood can find a way to contact the doctor, mum I have to find him there's just no way I could go on this baby could kill me. I don't even know who the father of this child is." Rose couldn't help but cry even more at this. Her mother got up and left the room shaking her head she was going to find that doctor and slap some sense into his head. Even if it wasn't his fault he had promised her that nothing would ever happen to her daughter and now Rose was sitting in the bathroom crying over the toilet seat.
Rose didn't do anything for the remainder of the day except sleep and dream of the doctor and how he would react to the news, if she ever told him. She also thought about who the father could be what if it wasn't the doctor? What if it was actually some strange space creature? What if it was one of those blue men's baby? Jackie Tyler had spent her day researching Torchwood and trying to find a way to contact them. Finally, late in the evening Jackie dialed a phone number she found online and a man answered.
"Hello this is Rob Welman for what are you inquiring?" he asked
Jackie found it a very odd qustion but quickly said the one word only a few people would know the true meaning of
"doctor".
The man's voice changed to that of a woman
"Hello I'm Stephanie and welcome to Torch wood how can we help you?"
Jackie smiled "It's my daughter Rose she was the doctor's last companion, we need to get to the doctor this could mean life or death"
"What happened?" Stephanie asked
Jackie told her everything she knew about the war, about the different dimensions and about Rose and the baby. They talked for a while until finally deciding on a place to meet, to make a plan and find the doctor.
