The Doctor pulled into the car park, around the corner from Torchwood. He eyed the glass building with something akin to contempt and sighed.

"Be careful Rose." He said softly as she pulled her bag onto her shoulder.

"Doctor, it's fine. It's just a routine search mission." Rose assured him, and leant across to kiss him gently.

"If it was safe, they wouldn't make you take guns." The Doctor muttered under his breath, and Rose sat back in her seat.

"Are we gonna have this conversation every week?" The Doctor turned off the engine, and twisted his body around to face her.

"If that's what it takes, then yes." They both stared at each other for a while, the Doctor's chocolate eyes wide and pleading.

"Look….if you feel that strongly Doctor…I'll seriously consider it." Rose whispered, resigned. He grinned and kissed her cheek, and she couldn't help but smile back.

"O.k. Now go away. You'll be late." Rose laughed and shoved him as she swung her legs out of the car.

"I'll meet you here after class." He called to her, and smiled to himself as he watched her blow him a kiss and walk away.

.....................................................................

The Doctor sat at his desk, grading each paper in turn. He grinned as he saw everyone had achieved at least an A. It was strange, as you wouldn't think that if you watched his lessons. He spoke to them as a friend rather than a student, and insisted they called him John. Many of the other teachers didn't approve, but the Doctor didn't think it mattered so long as his class were getting the grades. He glanced up at his class, and sighed as he saw most of them were out of their seats, talking. The one thing he would say, is that they got through the work fine, but then felt the need to do whatever they wanted.

"You all finished then?" He raised his voice, and watched as fourteen faces turned around guiltily. They all nodded, and the Doctor thought for a moment.

"All right. But if someone comes in, at least look like you're doing something productive." Sighing, he turned his attention back to the papers.

"John?" Looking up, the Doctor saw Delilah standing before him, smiling demurely.

"Delilah, what is it?" He took off his glasses and gestured to the seat in front of him. She flicked her red hair from her face, and the Doctor eyed it rather jealously.

"Nothing much. Just wanted to have a chat, you know, there's half the lesson to go still." The Doctor sat up surprised.

"Why do you want to talk to me? You're pretty popular, lots of friends. I won't be able to keep up with half of the things you young people say." He laughed and Delilah fixed her jade coloured eyes upon him.

"I like talking to you. You're insightful….and I don't think you're old." Smiling, she shuffled her chair forwards. The Doctor froze for a moment. He insisted on a good relationship with his class, but this was crossing over the lines a bit.

"Okay." He said slowly, leaning back into his chair. Delilah flashed him a smile, and glanced at the photo of him and Rose on his desk.

"She's very pretty." The Doctor frowned slightly at the hard tone of her voice.

"Yeah. She's pretty, she's just amazing."

"I read in the papers that you two were, you know, breaking up. The wedding was being called off and everything." Delilah raised her eyebrows as the Doctor burst into laughter.

"I thought I told you kids not to read anything about me and Rose. You know half of what they say is absolute rubbish. She's been pregnant at least twelve times according to the papers." The Doctor faltered slightly at the word pregnant, remembering his discussion with Rose earlier. Delilah sighed and leant forwards.

"I really wish that you wouldn't think of me as just a kid John." Her soft voice put the Doctor on edge, he was entirely to aware of the dangerous territory he was getting into.

"You're 19-"

"Only a few years younger than Rose." All of a sudden, a shrill beep sounded from the Doctor's pocket. He jumped up and grabbed his phone, grateful for the distraction.

"Doctor? You need to come to the hospital quick." The Doctor's single heart started to thud as he heard Jake's frantic voice, his stomach dropping.

"What is it?" He closed his eyes, praying.

"Rose has been hurt."

.............................................................

The Doctor raced through the hospital doors with Jake, straight to Rose's room. He crashed through the door, stopping when he saw Rose. She was sitting up in her bed, a thick medical plaster on her forehead, and stitches across her left arm. He gently pulled her into his arms, closing his eyes at the bombardment of emotions inside him.

"What the hell happened?" Whispering into her hair, the Doctor dropped kisses onto her forehead.

"It's nothing Doctor-"

"Nothing!?" His voice sounded strained, and Rose leant back into the bed.

"It was my own fault Doctor. I just fell down the mine shaft, I wasn't looking for aliens. Just going after some illegal weaponry. It's not a big deal." The Doctor bit his lip at her nonchalant attitude.

"Rose, this is it, you are not working at Torchwood anymore." Rose sat up in her bed, glaring at him.

"Doctor, I said I would consider it. You can't control my life!" The Doctor ran a hand over his face, and knelt down beside her.

" I'm not trying to control you Rose. I love you. I hate seeing you hurt. Please, come and work with me. Please Rose." Kissing her hands, he begged her silently, and he could see Rose start to falter.

"I love you to Doctor. But, I just…I don't know." The Doctor got up onto her bed with her, draping his arm across her shoulders. He took her left hand, being careful with her arm, and fiddled with the ring on finger.

"I don't want to have to marry you while you're in a full body cast Rose." Rose looked up at the despair in his eyes, resigning herself.

"I'll take a leave of absence. Try out this job you've got to offer me. Temporarily though." The Doctor whipped his head around, not daring to believe that he had heard her right.

"You mean it?""Yes….if we're gonna start a family, I can't afford to keep having accidents." Rose smiled as the realisation dawned on his face.

"You mean…you want a….you know-"

"A baby, yes." She laughed as he did a rather comical double take. A forceful kiss from him sent a shiver down her spine.

"And as soon as you're well again, we can start trying." One look at the want in the Doctor's eyes, sent Rose returning the kiss with double the force.

Well, there we are. Hope you like!...Just a bit of a hint, you may want to watch out for Delilah in future...lol. Well, let me know if you liked it or not. xxx
