4 HOURS LATER
After all the test were done and Rose had gone back to her apartment to gather her things (clothes, shoes, necessities etc.)
Then they headed back to headquarters to get Martha and maybe Mickey.
Once they got there Martha started telling of The Doctor for taking off without telling her.
"Oi Doctor there you. I have a bone or two to pick with you, you can't just go around without telling anybody where you're running of f to you know 'cause here we are waiting for almost 6 hours while your gone god knows where struttin' about as you wish!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Well to be honest with you I wasn't strutting about I was in the TARDIS most of the time."
"I called the phone 6 times."
"Oh yea, sorry 'bout that I was in the infirmary and I couldn't hear it."
"And what were you doing the infirmary?"
"I was tending to Rose."
"For Six hours?"
"Yea, Rose help me out here."
"He's telling the truth Martha, I'm sorry that we didn't tell you guys were we got off to." Rose stepped in.
"Why were you guys in the TARDIS infirmary anyways?" Matt asked.
"We were trying to figure out was wrong with me and we think we may have found it. But it's not good."
"Well then how bad is it? Is it fatal?"
"It's really bad and yeah it's fatal so were going to found out if it's really what we think or something else so me an The Doctor decided that were going to go and find out and we were wondering if any of you wanted to come. So any of you wanna come along for the journey? But it'll mostly be a one way trip since we would be going back to my original universe"
"I know I'm in." Martha said with no surprise.
"I think I should stay behind to u know keeps thing going smoothly." Mickey said looking at Rose who was blushing since they were both knew and were thinking about the real reason that he didn't want to tag along.
"I think that it'd be cool but I'm going to stay here." Matt said.
"I think I might just stay here and look after things too if that's ok with you Rose." Jess said. The fact that Jess didn't really want to come didn't surprise Rose or the others on the team since they all knew that Jess was shy, though Rose knew she had a major crush on Mickey.
"Right so who we got coming along then, lets see we have me, Rose obviously, Martha, so the TARDIS still needs to rest but around 10:00 am tomorrow she should be good so let's say we all meet at the TARDIS doors at 10:30? Oh and Matt, Mickey, and Jess if you want to come and say goodbye you're welcome to come and see us before we leave."
"Yeah we might come over."
"Well since it's late we should all be going home so I'll see you guys tomorrow yea?"
"Yeah" A bunch of voices replied.
Rose then turned towards The Doctor "You know there's something that we have to do right?" she said as she looked at The Doctor with a mischievous face.
And when The Doctor caught on to what Rose was suggesting the look on his face was priceless "Oh no I'm not going to go and see you're mother you know that she'll just slap me and I don't want to get slapped" The Doctor whined making his best pouting face.
"We have to. Tell you what I promise that nothing bad is going to happen ok?"
"Ok."
"Well let's get going then."
Within the half hour they were at Jackie's and when they got there The Doctor was a nervous wreck.
"Rose you know she's going to hit me."
"Yeah but I'll ask her not to do too hard."
"Oh yeah that makes me feel loads better."
"Suck it up Doctor your 903 years old." And with that Rose rang the doorbell.
And when the door opened The Doctor was relieved to see that it wasn't Jackie Tyler who opened the door. Instead it was a maid.
"Yes may I help you? Oh miss Tyler I didn't' know you'se was coming today miss and may I ask who this is?" The maid inquired.
"This Jocelyn is the Doctor. Is me mom home?"
"Why yes she is miss but she's taking a bath now."
"That's alright well just wait if that's ok."
"Of course miss." Jocelyn replied stepping aside to let Rose and The Doctor enter. "Uhhh would you like me to go and tell the mistress that you're here ma'am?"
"No I'll just jingle her myself since I need to speak to her first anyway."
"Yes ma'am." And with that she moved to close the door and went back to her duties knowing that Rose knew the way around.
"Well that was interesting," The Doctor said taking a beep breath.
"What was?" Rose asked confused.
"The fact that you were all the miss's and ma'am's."
"Well I guess it was a little weird. But you've heard people say it before on our adventures."
"Yeah, but this is the first person who's done it and who you actually know."
"Yeah well if you don't want to get slapped then I better ring mum" with that Rose started dialing her mother's phone in the bathroom.
"And that's the other thing Jackie has a phone in the bathroom?" The Doctor exclaimed.
"No it's not just mum we all have a separate phone in every room." And with that the Doctor's jaw dropped to the ground. And before The Doctor could say or do anything more Rose's mum picked up the phone.
"Hey mum it's me Rose, how's it going?" She paused as she listened to the answer. "That's good mum I need to tell you some thing." She paused again" No it can't wait t'ill you get downstairs." Pause "It's about the Doctor" pause "He's back" The next answer The Doctor could hear through the phone. And it was and ear splitting "WHAT?" and Rose had to pull the receiver away from herself "Mum not so loud I still have ears ya know" pause "Yeah I know I just wanted to call you and warn you before you came down here" pause and Rose turned away from him "Mum I know you're mad at him but can you try not to hit him too hard?" pause "Thanks, I'll see you in a bit bye." And Rose hung up the phone.
"She'll be down in 'bout an hour. So I have time to show you around the house."
"Ok so where are we going to start?"
"Well I was thinking that we could start from the bottom and work our way up to the top. That good with you?"
"Yeah that sounds like a plan to me."
About half an hour later they reached the last room which was Rose's old room.
"And this is where I slept when I lived here."
"It's clean at least." He said whole giving her a crooked smile. "Not at all like you're room in the TARDIS was."
"Well it wasn't most of the time that I lived here, my room only got cleaned when I left for work or something and that was 'cause Jocelyn would do it."
"So there's no hope what so ever of you being cleaner in the TARDIS?"
"Nope, non what so ever."
"Great."
"Well we should probably go downstairs now, mum should be down soon."
Later about 5 minutes after they got back downstairs and in the living room Rose's mother came down.
When she spotted The Doctor she lengthened and speed up her strides, and strolled right up to The Doctor and slapped him.
"(SLAP!!) That was for leaving my Rose stranded on the beach, and at the old Torchwood."
"Hey that hurt a lot you know and I didn't leave her stranded you lot were still there." The Doctor said pointedly.
"That doesn't matter you still left her! Do you know how much Rose cried for you to come back??!!"
"What did you want to do end 2 or more universes in the process including this one and the one you left behind?"
Before Jackie could answer Rose cut in.
"Guys! Stop fighting. Mum relax, why don't we all take a deep breath and sit down. (Pause) Doctor you ok?"
"My face hurts." He pouted.
"Oh come on I didn't even hit you as hard as I wanted just be glad that Rose asked me not to."
"Mum, me and The Doctor need to tell you something."
"No, wait, wait, wait, let me guess. You're going to go traveling in the TARDIS again? Aren't you sweetheart?"
"Well yeah but it's not for the reasons you think mum. I didn't tell you this before, and I wouldn't let the others tell you either (Matt, Jess, Mickey) but I'm sick and it's serious, and The Doctor thinks that it might be this disease that's fatal, so where going to go find out if it's what he thinks and if it is where going to go search for the cure which will be difficult since it's rare. We'd also have to go back to our universe."
Jackie just sat in her chair for 3 minutes just trying to process everything that her daughter had just told her until she spoke again.
"How long?"
"What?" Rose asked confused
"How long has it been since you got sick?"
"It's been 'bout a month and a half."
"Oh."
"Mum listen me and The Doctor have something else to tell you we don't think that we'll be able to come back to this universe, so when we go we might never be able to see each other again."
There was a great pause in the room. Then The Doctor cleared his throat.
"Ummm Rose I need to talk to you mother in privately, do you mind?"
"Yeah sure but if I hear you two screaming at each other than I'm coming back in got it?" After getting confirmation from The Doctor who nodded his head Rose left the room.
