AN: I hope you enjoy the next chapter! It was originally going to be longer but I've decided to do the second part in a separate chapter so that chapter might come up later today! Thanks so much for all the wonderful reviews! Please review if you haven't and give me suggestions and tell me what you thought!
And I forgot to say before that sadly I don't own Doctor Who, as much as I wished I did.
Enjoy the chapter!


"Two- t- t- two hearts!" the Doctor spluttered, "but how?"

Rose took a deep breath. She was going to have to explain. This was such a confusing day, and it was probably going to get even more confusing. Rose had thought it would be a normal day when she woke up. But when was Rose Tyler's life ever normal? This morning she had packed a bag, got into the car and driven down to Norway, and was going to stay in a little motel like she did often. She quite liked coming down to Norway to get away from the world. Then she had sat on the deserted beach, listening to the wind and waves, thinking. And then the man called Rory had come out of nowhere and asked where they were. And then she'd found out that the man with the floppy hair and bowtie was the Doctor, her Doctor.

"Where should I start? Well, I suppose when I got the dimension cannon working and we noticed the stars going out. When I got to the other universe, I felt kind of funny, and I could… feel… the TARDIS, in my head. And when we got back to the TARDIS after you'd been shot by that dalek, she spoke to me in my head, and she said, 'hello my Wolf, you are finally back.' I got really confused and that's when I realized I had two hearts. In the parallel- well this universe –I didn't feel the second heart, so I basically only had one. But when I got to the TARDIS and connected with her I could feel the second heart. And she told me why and how I had a second heart. I noticed that I hadn't really got older while we were in the parallel universe, I didn't really look different at all. But it had only been a few years so I didn't really think much of it and…" she trailed off noticing the Rory and Brian staring at her with complete blank looks on their faces.

The Doctor looked at them and back at Rose. "Continue Rose, don't worry we'll explain to them later."

"Sorry I just realized I was rambling a bit and they looked really confused and you seem a bit confused too."

The Doctor shrugged his shoulders, "Ah don't worry about me, of course this is a lot to take in but I'll get it in a minute, I always do don't I?" He smiled at her.

Rose smiled too. This Doctor wasn't so different after all. But then the first time he regenerated he was still the same man, so he still is now.

"Anyway," she continued, "I absorbed the Time Vortex remember? Bad Wolf? So-

"But I kissed the Time Vortex out of you!" the Doctor interrupted.

"Yeah but you didn't absorb all of the energy, Bad Wolf still partially remained in me, and I had a connection with the TARDIS too, because I looked into her and "no one supposed to do that Rose!" she said in the Doctor's old Northern accent. "So Bad Wolf stayed in me and now I have two hearts, I don't grow old and die."

"So you're like Jack?"

"Not completely, he only has one heart and he's immortal, but I'm basically a Time Lord, or Lady I suppose. And I don't exactly die and just come back alive after a few seconds, I regenerate, sort of, but I don't change bodies, I'm kind of like Jack and but more like you."

"Have you… um… have you ever…"

"Died? Yeah, once, and I don't really fancy doing it again. Not a great experience."

The Doctor nodded his head in agreement, "Yep, regeneration isn't the nicest of things, but I've usually had someone with me or someone to think of to make it a little easier. Like when I first met you and I regenerated, I had you there, so I thought of you, because I knew that when I changed it would be really strange for you and I wanted to stay the same man, have the same feelings about… but then when I last regenerated… well I've only regenerated once since I last saw you, into this body, and when I regenerated I went back and visited all of my companions, or at least just got to see them like for Donna I couldn't really talk to her… oh I forgot you didn't know about Donna, I'll explain later. Saw Martha too, and Mickey. They're married you know! And you, you just thought I was a man who'd had too much to drink on New Year's Eve!" he gave a small laugh, and Rose looked at him, her eyes widening as she realized.

"The drunken man in the shadows… you told me I was going to have a great year…" she whispered.

"Yep."

"And you know what Doctor?"

"What?"

"I did." She smiled.

He smiled back, looking at her for a few seconds and then said, "Rory, Brian! I haven't really introduced you properly! Sorry about the fact we've been talking for a long time so you two are probably confused."

"Doctor after travelling with you, I think I would be used to confusing by now" Rory replied.

"Okay then, well this is Rory, he travels with me and so does Amy, or Amelia. They're married you know, Amy and Rory Pond."

"Williams!"

The Doctor ignored him and continued, "And this is Brian, Rory's Dad, he doesn't travel with us often, in fact this is the first time he has! He wasn't supposed to come, but Rory brought him."

Rory gave an exasperated sigh, "I didn't! You just appeared in our living room and then took us away!"

Rose laughed. The New Doctor was like an excited eight year old, bouncing around.

"And Rory, Brian, this is Rose. You probably didn't understand what we were talking about before, but Rose… Rose used to travel with me. I'll explain more when we get back to the TARDIS!"

"So you… you want me to come with you?" Rose asked quietly.

"Of course I would. I finally get Rose Tyler back; I'm not going to leave you again. I've don't that enough times. And anyway, it wouldn't work would it? Because you know what, they keep trying to split us up but they never will." They looked at each other and smiled. "And, I think we need to uh, run some tests on you in the TARDIS, and get the full story of how you... y'know, got two hearts."

"I have a feeling that the TARDIS has a better explanation than me!" Rose said jokingly.

"Plus we should be getting back to the spaceship, Amy might be worried."

"What spaceship?" Rose frowned.

"Oh well we were on a spaceship, with dinosaurs! And then we got teleported here somehow… I don't understand why… and I don't really know how to get back but I'm just making it up as I go along!"

Rose laughed, Rory sighed again and Brian stood there looking completely confused. The Doctor sat down on the sand, and Rose sat next to him. He took her hand and she looked up at him.

"I've missed you so much Rose… and all the memories of you around the TARDIS made me even sadder… but um, when I regenerated I kind of destroyed the TARDIS, but she managed to save your room and it was still there. And then when the TARDIS turned into a woman- yeah long story –this thing called House deleted all the rooms, but she managed to save yours again. You are the Bad Wolf, connected to the TARDIS. She probably likes you more than me…" he pouted and Rose laughed again.

"I missed you too Doctor, so mu-"

There was a flash and the Doctor, Rose, Brian and Rory disappeared.
