So since I got some good feedback and I have no life I'm probably going to post pretty regularly and often, hope you're ready Ps. This is from 10 II pov in case it's not clear.

My Doctor/ My Doctor

Chapter 2

Coming to Terms

He only needed a few more elements and his project would be complete, except it never would. Those few remaining elements could only be found on a spaceship, a Tardis none the less. This is something he desperately wanted but would never get, he was earthbound; a human, half Time Lord of course but what was the difference?

"Honey I'm home, could you help with some of the groceries?" Rose Tyler had just come in from the kitchen door. He saw her tired expression, her worn out features from waiting, waiting for the 'real doctor' to take her away and show her the stars once more; a dream they both shared.

"I can't I'm so close to fixing the molecular structure of the core. If I could just obtain enough magnesium or energy from a riff this thing could possibly work-"

"It didn't work the last time, it doesn't work now, it will never work! Now stop playing with that stupid…replica of a sonic screwdriver and actually do something that's worth a damn!"

She slammed the bags on the counter with enough force to break an egg or two but she couldn't care less, at least not now.

He got up from the table; they'd been building up to this moment for weeks. When the real doctor had first left them there it was practically like their honeymoon. They cuddled up to each other, went on dates, and did what two people typically do on honeymoons but it all ended shortly after that.

He thought he was fine with the way things were but he started having these dreams of stars and planets and aliens. He quickly wanted more as so did she but not at all what he wanted. She started talking of things like marriage, and getting a house, and worst of all children. He's encountered several life and death situations but none scared him more than that idea. They were all such human things. He may have been half human but he still felt full Time Lord. He wasn't ready for any of it. They were drifting apart faster than they had been put together.

"I'm sorry, I had no idea I was being such a bother." He said, making his way toward Rose.

"Look I understand this is hard for you, being part Time Lord and not being able to move through time…" She cupped his face in her hand and looked him straight in the eye. "…I know how you feel."

"No you don't." He walked away with his back toward her. "You don't know how it feels to know you're a part of something great, that you're meant for something but no matter what you do you'll never be it, that you'll always come up short just when you think you're about to reach it. I love you Rose. I may not be the real doctor but I have his memories and I know that when you were gone, he…I missed you and thought of you every step of the way but sometimes being here, I just feel so—"

"Trapped." She finished. He turned to face her. All hint of anger left her face for only pity and remorse to take its place. "I can tell you're struggling. You're so stubborn though you would never tell me." She made her way toward him and took his hand. He tried to move it away but she wasn't letting go. "I understand you more than you think, just trust me. We could get through this." She laid her head on his shoulder. This almost startled the half Time Lord. This is the most physical contact they'd had in weeks.

He took a great sigh and slid down the kitchen island, Rose sat beside him; head still on his shoulder.

"I just don't know what to do." His voice was monotone and dry. Rose sunk in further.

"I know but you have to admit stars, planets, and aliens aside we've got it pretty good."

"I suppose."

"You suppose?"

"No I mean…well…yeah."

"It'd be nice if I could get a little help though."

"Well I guess I could…. you know…"

"Go on say it." Rose egged on.

"I suppose helping around the house wouldn't hurt."

"And maybe get a job…"

"Kay now you're just being cruel." Rose giggled and gave him a playful hit.

"Baby steps I suppose and maybe who knows, say a riff shows up, I wouldn't mind a screwdriver. That thing came mighty handy at times."

He said nothing but only continued to stare off into space with that same haunting look.

"Come on." Rose got up reaching her arms outwards to pull the half human up but he made no attempt to move.

"What?"

"We're going to finish putting up the groceries then we're going on a proper date."

"Ooh where to?"

"Get up and you'll see."

They went on putting up the food. When they were done, Rose donned her best attire giving the part Time Lord the hint to do so as well. When they'd finally left, Rose lead the way to a fancy, five star italian restaurant named, Linguini's Secret Dish. For the first time in a while they were having a great time, in fact they were having such a great time that as they sat down, they didn't notice the triangular shaped shadow that suddenly shifted just out the corner of their eye…

"So how did you do it?" He'd asked once they'd gotten their food.

"Do what?"

"Afford this place; we're barely paying rent as it is."

"All thanks to you but once you get a job…" He groans. "…we won't have to worry."

"What makes you so sure I'm getting one?"

"You like your fish in custard right? Well if you want anymore I suggest you get one."

"That's not even fair."

"That's perfectly fair, now if you'll excuse me I have to run to the loo." Off she went.

He was left staring where she had just left smiling like an idiot. He couldn't remember when he's had this much fun. That was when he noticed the shadow. When going through memories that weren't really his own it got a little murky but the one he was searching for finally came clear just as the shadow disappeared altogether and there was a scream from the girl's bathroom.

"ROSE!" He stood up and screamed. All eyes went towards him as if no one else had heard anything. He began to make his way toward the back when Rose emerged fine as day slightly alarmed by the doctor's frightened expression.

"What's wrong?"

"You screamed."

"No I didn't." There was honest confusion on her face. "You alright?"

"But somebody else must have screamed."

"There was no screaming now come on people are staring." She practically forced him back to the table.

"There was a shadow."

"So…"

"You don't understand there are things in the shadows, they kill people. You don't know 'cus you weren't there."

"Look, I didn't hear anything and it looks like nobody did either. It was probably just an old memory coming back up."

He took one look around and saw that everyone and everything had gone back to normal. He figured she must have been right.

"Right, sorry…I don't know where that came from."

"It's alright now where were we…oh, right jobs…" They continued on with their conversation with nothing much else happening at the restaurant. On their way home, things got serious again.

"Do you still wish I was the other doctor?" he'd asked suddenly without warning.

They were walking home. It was Christmas Eve and the snow was falling. In the distance chores sung carols as children made snow men. Their sudden harsh mellow corrupted the peaceful night.

"I never did." Doc gave a side-ways glance that could have only said, bull shit.

"Okay, maybe at first but I'm over it, aren't you?"

"Yes but sometimes when you look at me, I feel like you're really seeing him."

"He is you."

"Yeah without a Tardis."

"Oi!"

"So answer me honestly, if by some miraculous miracle he were to come now, would you stay or go off with him?"

"Well if that were to actually happen and I'd chosen to go with him I think you'd beat me to it."

"In all seriousness."

"I'm being perfectly serious; you seem more into him than me."

"So you are into him."

"We're not going through this." That was an obvious end to the conversation.

By the time they got home, snogging was already into full affect; neither wanting to let go when they'd finally made it to their room.

"Let me go get ready." Rose said as she gave a flirty wink and left the room.

The half Time Lord sat amazed at the turn of events when a familiar wooshing sound originated from the corner of the room.

It couldn't be he thought. It was impossible but there it was, the Tardis appearing right in front of him. He hadn't expected a different looking man to exit it. He quickly figured it must be him in his next generation.

"Oh well hello…self." He said. The voice was foreign to him, funny how his accent had changed to Welsh.

"Who's this, where are we?" Said a red-headed girl behind him.

"And why the heck did we travel and neither of you wake me up to tell me about it?" said a mousy boy behind both.

"Traveling with two this time that's….different."

"Well you know, I was told the more the merrier. Still looking for the merrier part—"

"I'm ready—oh!" Rose came in, in her daunting lingerie only to cover herself up when she noticed visitors. The eleventh doctor's screwdriver buzzed.

"Doctor, is that really you?" She said after a moment, still not believing her eyes like no one else in the room could. The full doctor pulled out his screwdriver.

"You look… different."

"You didn't tell me she was a chav." said the red-headed girl.

"Wait, who is she?" said the boy.

"Her name is Rose." Said the Half doctor.

"Indeed that form belongs to Rose Tyler but I can a sure you the soul inhabiting her is not. The full doctor pointed his screwdriver at the body of Rose Tyler as it blinked spastically. A shadow appeared where she stood and the whole room froze.
