Author's Note: So, I officially came to the conclusion that I'm not good at writing romance, so I hope that this is at least a little realistic. Also, this is probably the single last chapter of this story, I'm not making a promise though. I am never going to make a promise about any of my stories, whether it is an update date or the amount of chapters left. I'm just horrible at fulfilling this kind of promises.

Disclaimer: Ffor the one million and seventh time I do not own Doctor Who. I hope that it's clear.

2. Sorry, Not Sorry

The Doctor walked into the console room and started pushing buttons, he figured that he could take Rose to watch the London Olympics of 2012 and propose to her while they are there. He thought that he shouldn't overdo things and that this would do. He just started programming the course when Rose walked in.

"Morning Rose." The Doctor said as he turned to her.

"Morning Doctor." Rose answered and gave him a kiss.

The Doctor turned back to the console and programmed the course.

"Ready for our next trip?" he asked.

"Do you need to ask?"

The Doctor beamed at Rose.

"Where are we going?" Rose asked.

"Ow, you'll see."

Rose smiled at him and he couldn't help but smile back.

"Here we go!" he said as he pulled the lever to materialise. The TARDIS landed with her normal shuttering. The Doctor grabbed his coat and opened the doors and took a step outside, only to be met by a wall.

"Hah." He proclaimed, then he went back in and closed the doors again.

"The wrong planet, it has a deadly atmosphere, good thing that I'm a Timelord, that saved me, humans would be dead within a second, let's go somewhere else ... preferably safer." He lied and smiled to Rose, who just laughed at him.

"Or, you just don't want to admit that you can't parallel park?" Rose answered who had seen the wall as well.

His smile disappeared. "Oi! You try it." He answered indignantly.

He sulked as he was turning the TARDIS. She landed with another jolt and he opened the door again.


They decided to spend 2 days watching the Olympics. After the Doctor had mentioned that they were going to the thirtieth Olympiad, Rose figured that it would be a good moment to tell him that she was pregnant, just like The Doctor had figured that it would be a good moment to propose to her. Both of them were extremely nervous about carrying out their plans.

Fortunately, the trouble with the Isolus managed to distract both them from the task that they still had to do. But after saving the day and sending the Isolus back to its family, both of them quickly became nervous again. The only reason that neither of them noticed that the other was acting strangely was because they were both too busy with their own mission.


The Doctor and Rose entered the TARDIS laughing.

"You were right, Papua New Guinea indeed surprised everyone in the shot put, I just didn't expect that he would lose his footing and fall, nor did I expect that he somehow still managed to throw it 21.73 meters while falling!" Rose said.

"And gaining the Bronze medal in the process." The Doctor added.

"Anyway, I really enjoyed the Olympics, we should do things like this more often." she said and then smiled.

"Oh, yes."

Rose yawned. "I'm going to bed, you're coming?"

"Uhmm, no, there's something that's malfunctioning and I need to fix that, it will take some time so don't wait for me."

"Okay." Rose turned and went towards her... their bedroom.


The Doctor heard the door of their room close and sighted. He still hadn't asked her and 3 days had passed since he promised himself to ask her within a week, so there were only 4 days left or he would break his promise. Oh, he wanted to spend her life with her, maybe even have kids. He would love to have kids with her, but he didn't know if they could. They weren't the same species. But their species were very similar though so it could work and otherwise they could find a different way, he was certain of it. Of course, it was also certain that he would outlive her. But he figured that he would at least have fun and a good time with her.

He had realised that he loved her and wanted to marry her, when he saw what the wire had done with her, he had been so angry that her face was stolen and that they had left her on the street. He was so relieved when he saw her with her face again. It was also that night that they kissed for the first time.


Rose sat down on her bed and sighed. She still hadn't told him that she was pregnant yet and 3 days had passed since she promised herself to tell him within a week, so there were only 4 days left or she would break her promise. Oh, she wanted to have this baby with him, spend her life with him maybe even marry him. She would love to marry him. Of course, she didn't know how it worked on Gallifrey. But she figured that they would make the best of it and figure it out together.

She had realised that she loved him and wanted to spend her life with him when she had been taken by the wire. She remembered his reaction to seeing her. she had remembered everything. She had been so relieved when she got her face back and it had been fantastic to see his smile when he saw her after that. It was also the night that they kissed for the first time.


Rose was standing next to the console and looked at The Doctor, who was sending the TARDIS back into the time vortex. They had just left 1953, she had spent hours trapped in the telly, it was so empty and creepy there. She didn't fancy going back there soon, or at all. But when she was stuck she couldn't do anything but think and she had realised something. She loved The Doctor. Of course she had known that she felt something for earlier, but now she was certain about it, she loved him. But he was an alien, of course she also had considered that earlier, but it really was an issue. She knew that she shouldn't make a move on him, she didn't know how much relationships on Gallifrey differed from relationships on Earth. So she was uncertain of what to do now.


The Doctor finished sending the TARDIS into the time vortex, he looked up at Rose, saw that she was looking at him and walked over to her.

"Hey," He grabbed her hand. "Are you okay?"

"Yes, I think so."

"You're certain?" He moved his free hand to cup her cheek.

"It was weird, being trapped in there, creepy and empty but also something else," she paused. "I can't explain."

"You don't have to, it's over, probably will never happen ever again and we're safe back in the TARDIS."

Rose nodded and The Doctor smiled at that.

"How about going somewhere to relax? I think that both of us can do with that."

"That would be nice. Where are we going to?"

"Hmm... I was thinking of going to the beaches of Jatzakortaz, it's a very nice planet and the beaches are beautiful."

"Yeah?" Rose smiled at him.

"Yeah." He looked into her eyes, she was beautiful, he wanted to kiss her lips so bad and he did just that. It felt so good to feel her lips on his, but then he realised what he was doing and pulled back quickly, blushing.


To say that Rose was shocked would've been the understatement of the century.

Did he just?! Nah, I must've imagined it.

But then she saw the fact that he was blushing.

Oh. My. God!

"Sorry." He managed, barely audible, looking at the floor, his face could audition as a role model for the perfect colour of a tomato.

Rose looked at him, dumbstruck. She wanted to ask him what that was, but she couldn't find her voice.


What had he done! he just ruined everything. He looked up and saw that Rose was looking at him, definitely in shock about the fact that he just kissed her, out of the blue!

But he was certain that once she was over the initial shock she would slap him or something similar and then leave him. His hearts nearly broke at just the thought of it. He needed to stop her. He gulped and tried to find his voice.

"I.. I... I... I'm... I'm sorry, I... shouldn't have... I'm sorry. I... didn't...think." His gaze got back to the floor


Rose eyed him cautiously.

"No, you're not."

"What?"

"I don't think that you're sorry."

It was The Doctor's turn to be shocked. She smiled and took a step closer to him.

He is the one who started this, I might as well act on it. Rose reasoned.

She closed his hanging jaw, cupped his cheek and kissed him. It took him a few moments to recover from the shock but eventually he started to kiss her back. The kiss grew more passionate by the second.

The only reason they eventually parted was because they both needed air. They were both panting but smiling.

The Doctor eventually broke the silence "Rose?"

"How about we're just going to watch a nice film in the living room?"

"Sounds good to me." The Doctor smiled. "Let's go find a film."

"Okay."

Rose gave him a quick peck on the lips, grasped his hand and pulled him with her towards the living room.


The Doctor smiled at the memory. He really hadn't meant to kiss her, he didn't even know why he had done it, but it turned out to be the best thing he could've done. Now he needed to do another thing that he certainly wouldn't regret: asking her to marry him. But he was still wondering how he was ever going to find the courage to do this. He sighed and climbed under the console to find and fix what part was malfunctioning.


Rose smiled at the memory. She knew that he hadn't meant to kiss her, he had never told her why he had done it, she doubted that he knew it himself, but it was the best thing he could've done. She sighed, another good thing he had done was getting her pregnant. But she didn't know whether he would agree on that and she wouldn't know until she told him.

She changed into her pyjamas, she noticed that she was running out of fresh clothes. Of course, the TARDIS had enough clothes in the wardrobe, but she preferred her own clothes. She decided that she would get The Doctor to take her to see her mother tomorrow. It had been two weeks since she had last seen her, but that was because of Elton, it hadn't actually been a proper visit. So they would go there again tomorrow, no matter how much The Doctor would complain. She turned the lights off and climbed into bed. Within five minutes she was fast asleep.
