It has only been a few hours since her and the 'real' Doctors seperation. Yet, the memories raced through her mind like she was just remember for the first time, in what was forever. When they returned to the house in 'Petes' world, she quickly hurdled into the comfort of her own bed. Without words, she slowly gestured for him to come beside. His stiff body only made it more uncomfortable, but she didn't care.
A few moments had passed, with Rose's head against his chest, listening to his singular heat beat. A human doctor, how strange? The beat of his heart was more of a relief for her, because that mean't no regenerating. He cannot change his face, voice, attitude anymore. He will forever be 'her doctor'. With a deep breath the first words in hours escaped her lips releasing one word, "Memories?"
The Doctor only stared at her for a moment before responding, "All of them." Her gaze almost looked as if she was going to question him, so he continued before she could, "The year 5 billion, the sun expands, Earth Roasted."
She quickly interupted, "We had chips." They've had this conversation before.
"In The Mood?"
"You sure do know how to move."
"The Sylvene, on Downing Street."
"Raxacoricofallapatorius!"
"Queen Victoria"
"Werewolves"
Together they exclaimed, "I am not amused!" With that a grin stretched across Rose's face and The Doctor couldn't help but to smile back. "Same me, just one less heart. I can grow old with you Rose, we can have the life you and 'he' never could. We can get a place of our own, get married, I don't know! Maybe even have kids down the road, but alls that matters is I'm never going to leave you. And thats a promise." He expression lightened, but the smile was still there. The words she needed to hear. "Rose Tyler," he said leaning against the head board holding her close, "I love you."
"Quite alright too." Her face was turning red, with a single teardrop rolling down her rosy cheek. The same words he had once said to her on the worst day of her life. Stranded alone, on Bad Wolf Bay. With the kiss to her forehead, the memoried slowly faded away. She had her doctor, and a full life with him ahead of her. Thats more than she could have asked for.
