Summary: Tragedy strikes the Doctor and Rose as they spend the day with the Torchwood team, Martha and Donna
Fight for Survival
"So come on then Doctor, where are we going?" Rose asked keenly.
"Wellll" the Doctor gave her his infamous cheeky grin "Donna called whilst you were in the bathroom. She is in Cardiff with the Torchwood team and the girls have offered to take you out for the afternoon."
Rose smiled brightly "Aww that is so sweet of them!"
The Doctor smiled, came over and put his hands on her forearms, both of them looking down at Rose's bump.
The Doctor and Rose had been married nearly a year now, Rose found herself pregnant within a month of them being married, and it was fair to say it had shocked both of them. Rose was now eight months pregnant, and both she and the Doctor were so excited about becoming parents.
"We are very lucky to have such a close group of friends" the Doctor said joyfully.
"We are indeed" Rose responded.
The TARDIS landed inside the Torchwood Hub.
Martha, Donna and Gwen gave squeals of excitement and rushed towards the blue telephone box. Jack and Ianto following on quickly after. The instant the doors opened and Rose came out, she was hounded by the girls who gave her a big group hug. Rose laughing and the girls all giggling and smiling.
"Hey, how's mummy-to-be doing?" Donna said with a chuckle.
Rose grinned, placing a hand on her bump "I'm alright thanks."
Rose greeted the guys as the Doctor came out of the TARDIS, closing the doors as he did so.
"Hey and how's daddy?" Donna continued.
The Doctor chuckled "Hey Donna Noble, don't go calling me daddy just yet, still got a month to go."
"Oh shut it spaceman, I can see that you love it" she giggled and gave him a hug.
All the others greeting Rose and the Doctor with equal happiness.
"So what's this I hear about you wanting to take me out?" Rose wondered to the girls, as the Doctor put a protective arm around her.
"It was Martha's idea" Gwen began "Thought It would be nice for all us girls to catch up, how do you fancy some lunch somewhere then we can go shopping? Help you choose some things for the baby?"
Rose beamed at the idea "Aww girls I would love to!"
"Hang on, what am I meant to do all afternoon while you're out?" the Doctor wondered.
"I'm sure Jack will think of something" Rose said, looking over at the very man in question who gave a wink.
Rose chuckled.
The Doctor just rolled his eyes.
"Come on then Mrs. let's go get lunch I'm starving!" Donna told Rose.
Rose smiled and kissed the Doctor's cheek "Love you"
"Love you too, look after yourself" the Doctor replied.
"But Donna you've had a baguette already this morning and you had a full English before you came here" Martha began.
"Yeah but a girl can still be hungry y'know, I was travelling down here all morning" Donna's voice echoed out along with the laughter from the girls as they exited the Torchwood Base. They were now all out of sound, but in the Doctor's case, Rose was certainly not out of mind.
"Ooo this place is rather posh isn't it?" Rose inquired.
"Yeah, Jack often treats us to a dinner here sometimes…when he's in a generous mood" Gwen told her. Rose smiled.
They walked up to the Head of House and Martha spoke "Hello, we have a reservation for four under the name Jones."
"Ah yes here we are" the man said looking at the book "If you'd care to follow me ladies."
They began walking till they reached some stairs "Rose are you alright to be sitting on the second level, we could always arrange the table to be downstairs …so you don't have to walk?"
"No, no it's fine. You're my midwife Martha; you said it's good for me to get exercise."
Donna chuckled "Martha you are giving the girl mixed signals!"
The girls made their way upstairs and sat down at the table, "Anything to drink ladies?" the waiter asked.
"Yes I'll have a white wine please" Martha said.
"Same for me" Gwen answered
"Vodka and coke, thanks" Donna piped up, with a grin.
Rose smiled "Just an orange juice for me please, thanks."
The waiter left them to it.
"So come on then Rose, how you doing?" Gwen inquired.
"Yeah I'm alright, couldn't be better" Rose responded, placing a hand on her swollen stomach "the Doctor is driving me mad though."
The girls chuckled.
"What's spaceman done this time?" Donna inquired.
Rose laughed "He's wandering round the TARDIS like a lost sheep; he's got nothing to keep himself occupied. Now that we can't travel and do the whole running for our lives thing, he's become extremely bored. So he just keeps bothering me, won't leave me alone."
"I'll give him a good slap on the arm when I see him don't you worry" Donna reassured her. Rose giggled.
She gave a big smile as she felt the baby kick.
"I'm sure the insides of me are going to get bruises! The baby is such a strong kicker" Rose told the girls who looked on happily.
"Awww…have you guys thought of any names yet?" Martha asked.
Rose was shaking her head with giggles "The Doctor won't stop thinking up these strange names that are barely pronounceable…I would like an ordinary, easy to spell name myself."
Gwen grinned "Does he still think the baby is going to be a girl?"
Rose laughed "Says it everyday!"
The girls giggled.
"Then again I'm convinced it's going to be a boy" Rose said to them.
Martha was about to say something but Donna immediately interrupted her "Martha don't you say a word. I still can't believe you know the sex of the baby and the rest of us don't!"
Martha grinned "I'm Rose's midwife, Donna. I have to know the gender to put in my notes. No one else knows don't worry, I'm not going to say a word" she imitated a zip action across her mouth to prove the point.
After the waiter had come over and handed out the drinks, Rose got up from the table "I need the bathroom; I swear this baby has made my bladder shrink to the size of a pea!"
The girls looked on sympathetically, "Do you want one of us to come with you?" Gwen offered.
"No I'll be alright on my own thanks" Rose smiled "Back in a minute."
Rose walked the short distance to the stairs and began descending them. All of a sudden Rose came over all dizzy and then the next thing. Darkness.
