"Rose Tyler, I love you." She couldn't breathe, there were so many things she wanted to say, some more gooey and romantic than he probably thought her capable of. Rather than embarrassing herself, she simply said,
"I love you too." He then pulled his lips to her, and gave her a passionate kiss. He noticed that she seemed to be holding back, and he was suddenly worried. What if she didn't want him? I mean, he had left her on a desolate Norwegian beach to fend for herself. He has to know by now, she thought to herself. If he didn't, then she would have to tell him. She pulled out of the kiss and looked at him. He suddenly looked very sad.
"I'm sorry." he said.
"Sorry?! For what?" she asked, confused.
"Well, I just thought that, I mean you seemed to be holding back, I thought that you maybe didn't want me." he said sadly. She stared at him in shock. After all this time, he still didn't think that she wanted him. She knew she had to tell him, and as they say, no time like the present.
"Doctor, I have to tell you something." she said. "Well, I guess I could show you instead."
"Rose what are you ta-" he began and Rose shushed him. She took his hand and placed it on her chest. He looked confused, but then his eyes widened with realization, and his mouth fell open. "What!...What! But, how?" he sputtered.
"Bad Wolf." she replied. He looked shocked. Beyond shocked. She thought that he might pass out. Instead he grinned, and picked her up in a giant bear hug.
"This is brilliant!" he exclaimed. She was relieved. She grabbed the lapels of his suit and pulled his lips to hers. "Rose, I love you so much." he said, once she had broken away.
"Quite right, too." she replied, bearing his favorite grin. She leaned up and kissed him again, this time much longer, and more loving. She then yawned, and he laughed.
"Okay, time for bed." he declared.
"Hey, I don't need sleep anymore! Time Lady, remember?" she protested.
"You don't need sleep, but your body would like it. You're still new to all of this." he replied. He picked her up bridal-style, and carried her to her room. He placed her on the bed, and smiled at her. "Goodnight." he said.
"Wait!" she exclaimed. "Will you-, will you stay with me? At least until I fall asleep?" she asked.
"Of course, love." he replied. He lay down next to her on the bed, and placed an arm around her protectively. She nuzzled against his chest and fell asleep.
