Rose was bored. She had been sitting in the flat all morning watching wake-up television. She hated not being able to go to work. It wasn't like she was an invalid. She was just pregnant.
But her whole family had insisted that she stay home from work for the next month. And since half her family worked at Torchwood, it was pretty difficult to sneak in. So she had submitted and promised to spend the last month of her pregnancy at home, in total boredom.
Most people would love to have a month off work. But of course, Rose Tyler-Smith wasn't a normal person. She spent the majority of her days chasing aliens and preventing them from taking over the Earth. And the best part about it was she got to do it all with her husband.
Rose and her husband 'John Smith (as he was officially known) were the heads of the 'Alien Control and Protection' department at Torchwood. This basically entailed alot of running for their lives and very little time for office work, which worked out quite well as both of the loathed the latter.
Rose got up of the lounge and walked around the spacey living room. She felt very restless, and was unable to get comfortable anywhere.
Being the size of a planet will do that to you, she thought.
She was just about to go to the kitchen when the computer started to beep, signifying somebody was ringing it. She waddled over and answered it, already knowing who it was.
'Yes, Doctor?' She said as he appeared on the screen, not bothering to hide her annoyance.
'Don't be cross with me; I'm just making sure you're alright.' The Doctor said. He was in his office, although it didn't really constitute as an office as it was more like a garage. The desk was cover in various tools and gadgets, and Rose did not have the faintest idea what any of them did. On the far side on the desk a picture of herself and the Doctor on their wedding day sat, framed by a TARDIS blue frame.
'I'm fine, Doctor.' She told him. 'Just like I was when you rang an hour ago. And the hour before that.'
'Sorry,' He said genuinely. 'I'm over doing it a bit, aren't I?'
'It's alright; I know you only do it because you care.' She said. 'So what's happening in the office?'
'Oh, you know the usual.' He said. 'Had to go and rescue all old women from what she thought was an alien.'
'What was it really?' Rose asked curiously.
'Oh, it was a cat.' He said, and Rose burst out laughing.
'Other than that, it's been a pretty slow day. What have you been up to?' He asked.
'Well, this morning after you left, I watched a H20 mop commercial and ordered one.' She recounted. 'Then the baby started kicking, so I had to walk around for a while to make him stop.'
'Sounds exciting.' The Doctor said with amusement.
'I was actually thinking about going out and getting some lunch, care to join?' She asked him.
'Only if we go-'
'Yes Doctor, we can go to the Banana cafe.' She interrupted him.
'Okay than!' The Doctor said, smiling. 'I just have to finish these papers off, so I'll meet you in half an hour?'
'Okay, see you then.' Rose said, just about to end the call when he spoke again.
'Rose, wait.' He said quickly. Rose looked up at the screen to see to Doctor still smiling.
'I love you.' He said, his smile widening.
Rose couldn't help but smile back at him as she replied 'I love you, too.'
The call ended and Rose got up and made her way to the bedroom to get changed. She decided she fancied a walk before lunch.
Once in fresh clothes, Rose made her way down to the street and started walking towards the park.
She had the life she had always wanted. It hadn't been an easy road to get it, either.
Her relationship with her Doctor had started off a little shaky. It had taken Rose a few weeks to get use to the prospect that he was literally hers for life. That he would stay with her forever. After time Rose had grown to the idea, and a few months later, they were married. It had been a quite ceremony. The Doctor had insisted that they didn't really need a proper ceremony, because in his eyes, they were already married. But Jackie had insisted, so they were now officially Doctor and Mrs John Smith.
A few months later Rose had discovered she was pregnant. Although it had been a little unexpected, they had both been overjoyed at the news. Rose wanted a girl, and although the Doctor insisted he wanted a boy, she knew he would adore a little girl.
And here they were today. Happy, in love and about to start a family. Rose couldn't have asked for anything more.
Rose sat down on one of the park benches, staring up at the sky.
Suddenly, Rose heard it. That familiar noise. Although, it sounded a bit different. Like something was wrong with it.
A million thoughts went through Roses head at once.
What was it doing here?
How could it be here?
Was he in it?
Was he, him?
Before Rose could answer any of these questions, she saw it. That beautiful, blue box. Rose stood up and thought about going over to it when the doors opened.
A man walked out. A man with floppy brown hair, wearing a tweed jacket and bow-tie a bow-tie. He was closely followed by a woman with striking blonde curls. The man pointed to the sky and the woman exclaimed something Rose couldn't hear.
Rose cautiously approached the couple so she was in earshot of them. Once she was, she stood frozen on the spot, and listened to what they were saying.
'...have learnt to install some kind of backup power system.' She heard the man say.
Then she noticed that the woman with curly hair was staring straight at her.
'Doctor...' She said. 'Doctor there is someone watching us.'
Rose stood frozen on the spot, her heart hammering. The man followed the woman's gaze until his eyes landed on Rose.
'Who is she, Doctor?' The woman asked.
Rose heard him reply, although it was barely a whisper.
'Rose.'
Hey guys! So I got a fair bit of response for the first chapter (something like 25 alerts, which is pretty exciting for me!). I really adored all of the feedback I got, and I'll try to accommodate to some of your requests. I think I'll alternate between Rose and River. Not really sure yet.
Oh and if you find any mistake let me know, so I can fix them up.
Hope you guys like it, and remember, reviews make me write faster and sometime even better. So be sure to spank that Review button.
Thanks guys!
much love.
