A/N So i forgot to mention in the last chapter that this stroy was inspired from a short comic i saw online. im going to put a link the the comic strip at the end of the story though because it would give the ending away though.

anywho i don't own the doctor blahblahblah you know that anyway...

"Rose you there? It's me, you know the Doctor?"

She froze, she wanted to say something, to jump for joy to cry, to tell him she loved him, but nothing came out.

"Rose?" a disheartened voice came from the receiver.

"Doctor?" she choked out.

"Rose!" He sounded so relieved.

"Doctor, it's really you?" she cried.

"Yes, it's me, oh Rose Tyler you are fantastic, no brilliant! I never would have tried this!" For the first time in months she laughed. She was so full of relief she actually collapsed onto a nearby chair.

"Oh Rose I've missed you so much." His voice was suddenly very quiet.

"Missed you too."

And they talked and talked and talked. For around 3 hours. He told her about life in the TARDIS and she told him about life in Pete's world. They talked about how terribly them miss each other, and sometime they were silent just happy to be having some sort of contact. They talked until Jackie called for Rose telling her to get off the phone because people from Torchwood were here.

"Your have to go." The doctor muttered- it wasn't a question.

"Yea-Torchwood you know." She replied.

"Rose Tyler defender of the earth." He said proudly almost like he did that day on the beach.

"Am I gonna be able to call you again?" she asked half afraid of the answer.

"I don't see why not." A pause, "I'm trying to find a way to get you back Rose." Another pause.

"Thank you." She whispered.

"Call me later k?" he was back to his perky self.

"Of course talk to you later Doctor."

"I love you Rose Tyler."

~~.~~

"I love you Rose Tyler."

There was silence on the other end. His breath caught in his throat. That wasn't meant to come out. Well it's not like it wasn't true, but still…defiantly not supposed to come out. Rose still hadn't said anything yet. He froze in anticipation- how long has it been since he left her on her world? Maybe she doesn't feel the same as she did on Bad Wolf Bay--- oh he should've just kept quiet! Why did this regeneration like to ramble so much!

He was interrupted by Rose's soft joking voice.

"Quite right too." She said. He actually laughed out loud. "And I suppose-" she continued, "though it's not quite my last chance to say it… Doctor---"

Beep

"No." he muttered, "No no no no no!" This couldn't be happening; he was so close, so close! She was just about to say it. He slammed the mobile down onto the console and slumped into the jump seat. The irony of it was just too unfair- a Time Lord without enough time. He was just about to panic about how the connection failed when his phone rang again. In a rush he jumped up and grabbed the mobile and clicked the small green answer button.

"Sorry." Rose said immediately after he picked up, "Phone died, I had to plug it in." The Doctor laughed he couldn't help it, still laughing he slid down on the floor to lean against the console.

"Rose…you….your…" he gave up on trying to talk and continued to laugh hysterically.

"Doctor!" Rose cried trying to get his attention back.

"Sorry, sorry." He muttered controlling he laughter again. "How was that sentence going to end Rose?" He heard her giggle from her end of the phone, and he knew she really wasn't upset. "Rose?"

"I was going to say that I suppose I love you too Doctor!"
