Jackie was in the living room when Mickey and Rose got home.
"Hi, how was the appointment?" She asked.
"Um, we had to reschedule." Mickey replied.
"What for?" Jackie asked.
Rose was too embarrassed to answer.
"Well?" Jackie said.
"Dr. Smith looks like the Doctor." Mickey said for her.
"What?" She frowned confused.
"Mum, he was a clone of the Doctor, it was surreal." Rose said.
She scoffed. "Don't be stupid."
Mickey shook his head. "Jackie he could've been the Doctor's twin. I couldn't believe my eyes."
"So you left because of that?" She said.
"Yeah but I couldn't help it. It was just so hard to stay there and look at him." Rose said.
Jackie sighed. "I know you miss the Doctor but it's time to let go."
"I-I can't." She choked.
"You need to; it's killing you Rose. You're going have to get over Dr. Smith looking like him if you want the job at Torchwood." Jackie replied.
"But how do I do that?" She said.
"For starts don't punish him just because he resembles the Doctor." Jackie said.
Rose nodded. "I know your right; it's not his fault he looks like him."
"Can you reschedule?" Jackie asked.
She nodded. "I did. I rescheduled for next week by then I should be okay."
"Are you sure?" Jackie asked.
"Yeah, I'm sure." Rose replied.
"Good because training starts soon and you need that physical before you can start." She pointed out.
Rose knew she was right and maybe next week things would go better at least that's what she hoped.
The next week Rose waited nervously in the examining room.
She decided to go by herself but now she was having second thoughts about staying.
Just then the door knocked and she nearly jumped; it opened and David poked his head inside.
"Hi, is it safe to come in?" He asked.
She smiled slightly and nodded.
"Good, let's see if we can't try this again, eh?" He grinned.
Rose watched as he read thru her chart.
"Now this physical exam is for Torchwood?" He asked.
"Yeah." She muttered.
"Okay other than the physical is there anything else I need to check, any pain, nausea, dizziness?" He asked.
Rose shook her head.
"Don't talk much do you?" David smirked.
She blushed. "I can talk."
"Yes and you have a very pretty voice." He smiled.
Rose was turning beet red.
After he washed his hands he started examining her.
"First, I'll check your glands." He said gently touching her throat.
His soft warm hands made her shiver.
"You okay, Miss Tyler?" He asked.
"Yeah." She squeaked.
David smiled and checked her ears.
His hot breath tickled her neck; he was standing so close it felt like a thousand degrees in that room.
She practically melted looking into his dark brown eyes.
He looked at her concerned.
"Miss Tyler?' He said.
"Hmm?" Rose asked distracted by his Scottish accent.
"You sure you're alright?" David asked
"Of course." She smiled.
A few minutes later he washed his hands again and smiled at her.
"Okay, we're done." He said writing in her chart.
"How did I do?" Rose asked.
"Everything looks good! I'll just fax this to Torchwood and you'll be all set." He said.
Rose smiled and looked over at the drawings of cars, dinosaurs and stick figures saying "thank you" in bold letters.
"These pictures are so interesting." She said.
"You like them?" He asked.
She nodded. "There cute. Did your kids make these?"
"I don't have any children." David replied.
"Oh, so who drew these?" Rose asked.
David stood beside her. "My patients' kids made them for me."
"Really, why?" She asked.
He shrugged. "There thank you gifts for things I helped them cope with."
"Like what?" Rose asked.
He just smiled. "Things that a lot of Doctors don't want to be bothered with, unfortunately."
Just then the door opened and there was a nurse looking stressed out.
"Dr. Smith could you please help me?" She begged.
"What's wrong?" He said.
"Bobby just came in for his flu shot and he won't let me near him." She said.
"What about his Doctor?" David asked.
The nurse sighed. "Bobby bit him."
"Seriously?" He said.
She nodded.
He chuckled. "Okay, I'm coming."
David looked at Rose and smiled.
"Well, you're free to go just check out at the front desk." He said.
"Thanks." She smiled.
Rose watched him leave but quickly followed, she had to see this.
David entered a room and she stood near the door frame and watched.
There was a little blond boy sitting there with his arms crossed scowling.
"Hi, I'm Dr. Smith. Are you Bobby?" David asked.
"No shot!" He yelled.
"Don't worry I'm not going to give you a shot. See nothing in my hands or up my sleeves." David promised.
Bobby relaxed a little.
"Can I sit here?" He asked.
Bobby shrugged.
David pulled up a chair and sat beside him. "So you hate shots, huh?"
Bobby nodded.
David frowned. "Yeah, so do I. Can't stand them."
His eyes widen. "Really?"
"Yeah but tell me do you like magic tricks?" David asked.
Bobby's face lit up. "Yeah!"
"Okay I'll show you a coin trick." He smiled.
Rose grinned as he pulled out a coin and made it disappear.
"Where did it go?" Bobby asked.
David frowned. "Good question where did it go? That's my only coin, help me find it."
Rose giggled softly, she thought David was absolutely adorable.
Bobby leaned forward and searched for the coin.
David raised his eyebrows signaling the nurse to give the shot.
Unaware he had gotten the shot Bobby frowned. "I can't find it."
"Ah, I know where it is." David smiled.
He reached and pulled out the coin from Bobby's ear.
"Wow!" Bobby exclaimed.
He grinned. "Thanks, still hate shots?"
Bobby nodded. "Yes, they hurt."
David leaned over and whispered. "Just between you and me; you just got one."
Bobby gawked. "I did?"
He nodded. "Yep, did it hurt?"
"Nope!" Bobby smiled.
David grinned. "Glad to hear it."
He started to leave when Bobby stopped him.
"Wait!" He said.
Bobby pulled out paper and a pen then quickly drew a picture.
He grinned and handed it to him.
"What's this for?" David asked.
Bobby smiled. "For being a nice Doctor."
David smiled. "Thank you, it's a masterpiece!"
Bobby hugged him before he left.
Rose tried to duck beside the door but David spotted her.
He shook his head and smirked then snuck up behind her.
"Hello." He whispered startling her.
"Oh, hi I was just leaving." She said.
"Oh, you were?" He arched his eyebrow.
She blushed. "Sorry."
"It's okay, I don't mind." David said.
"So that's how you got those drawings, you use magic tricks to help people." She smiled.
He blushed. "Well, magic tricks are just my hobby but it definitely comes in handy."
"But you enjoyed doing it for him, I could tell." She said.
"Yeah, some Doctors don't care anymore but I love helping people. It's why I became a Doctor." He replied.
"I think that's good." Rose said.
"Thanks. Well, it was nice meeting you, Miss Tyler." David said.
Rose smiled. "You, too."
As he left Rose didn't know why but she suddenly felt compelled to ask him something.
"Dr. Smith?" She called.
He paused and looked at her.
"Yes?" David said.
"Um, Dr. Smith are you married?" Rose asked.
"No, I'm single. Why?" He said.
"No reason." She grinned.
David shrugged and walked away.
Rose bit her lower lip as she watched him.
It then occurred to her that she forgot to apologize.
"I really should do something nice for him." She thought.
Then she got an idea.
"I wonder if mum knows any good dessert recipes." She thought as she left.
