Hello,
Just want to say sorry for not keeping up to date, there's been a few technical problems with editing my documents on here :(. I'm pleased to say it's now sorted though, so here's the next chapter, as promised.

The sunlight blinded them as they gathered on the air strip, eagerly waiting for Pete's Zeppelin to touch down and take them home, wherever that was meant to be. Jackie was close to wearing a hole into the concrete floor as the Zeppelin came into land and Rose couldn't contain her laughter at the sight of her. It was the first time they had both smiled since the doctor held her in his arms on the TARDIS.
The Zeppelin landed and Jackie and Rose walked forward, eager to see their family again, the doctor trailing wearily behind.
Rose ran into Pete's open arms and wanted to stay there forever, she didn't know what she wanted and she knew she could only postpone a decision for so long.
A confused man was waiting patiently on her answer.
Pete thought he saw that same man, no more than a shadow in the darkness. He stepped into the light, smiling upon the happy scene. Pete greeted him with a welcoming smile and offered his hand
"Don't worry I know" he said, as the doctor firmly shook his hand "I have the papers in my office" Pete warned him, as he looked at Rose who was trying to work out the man, now talking to her father, a man she was meant to love and have a family with. She didn't even know who he was.
How could she love a man she didn't even know?
Could she ever accept the constellation prize?
"Unless of course, you two have some catching up to do" Pete suggested, gesturing to Rose as they both turned to look at one another, a second later the doctor shook his head. Rose was like an open book to him, so easy to understand, it was her decision that was the hardest thing he would ever have to accept.
"It's been a mad few days" he began, looking to Pete and then turning back to Rose "Think we might both need some time to ourselves" he smiled weakly at her and Rose felt a sudden pang of guilt as Pete nodded and pointed him towards his office door.
He wanted her, she had seen it in his eyes, he wanted her so badly. But he was giving her space, giving her time. She grabbed his arm as he passed.
"Thank you"
it was the least she owed him and the most she felt she could give. For the first time since their kiss she saw his smile reach his eyes, they twinkled like stars in the sky, magical and mystical, revealing whole galaxies that she would never see again.
"You're welcome" he replied before running down the hall after her father.

Rose stood in her room on the Zeppelin, looking out at the puffy white clouds and deep blue sky that engulfed the Zeppelin as they made their way home.
What was she meant to do?
The doctor was still alive, travelling, the last of the lonely time lords.
How could she be happy when he was once again alone?
She wondered if he knew, that she knew he was once again alone, she wasn't stupid; Donna couldn't hold that knowledge in her brain, there was no way she'd be able to stay, no matter how much the doctor wanted her to.
The thought of her doctor alone, broke her heart.
She heard a knock at the door and hoped to see the small beaming face of her little brother. He seemed to be the only person who she could look at without feeling guilty or end up arguing with. It seemed this new doctor, whoever he now decided to be, was everywhere she went, even if the man himself sat respectfully and anxiously on the sidelines.
She opened the door to find her mother with a cup of tea and a biscuit on a tray for her
"Thought you might want a cuppa " Jackie told her as Rose walked her into the room, falling onto the nearby sofa, looking out into the sky.
"Thanks mum" she replied absent mindedly as her mother placed the tray by the coffee table and sat down next to her daughter.
"You have a good night?" mum asked and Rose felt knots in her stomach, she didn't know where this conversation was going, and that worried her.
"Not bad" she shrugged as an awkward silence filled the air.
"He adores you y'know" Jackie eventually said and Rose sighed with frustration.
Why was her mother always probing her for a decision?
If he could wait why couldn't she?
"Mum, I think I'm old enough to make my own decisions now" she replied, slamming her mug on the nearby table.
"Well make the right one" her mother warned her as they both stood to face one another
"He had a nightmare last night, y'know what it was about? Rose he was losing you and it scared him to within an inch of his life. Doesn't that tell you something? Think about it Rose, what has he got, apart from you, what has he got?"
"I can't do this" Rose complained, storming out of the room, stamping on the remains of his shattered heart as she passed him in the corridor.

Hope to get the next chapter up a bit quicker, although I can't promise anything, what with me still being at school and that.
