"Rose" he started. "Would you mind if I had a look at you? Just to make sure everything's okay" he said sort of nervously. "I feel fine, what's there to worry about?" she asked.
"Oh, you know, crossing over from a parallel dimension and all, it could have some strange effects on you"
"Yeah, s'pose you're right, never thought about that" giving him a small, nervous smile.
He gently pressed two fingers to her temples and said "now, this may feel a bit strange but bear with me" she nodded in consent.
The Doctor couldn't believe what he was seeing. She still had the time vortex inside of her after all this time, even though he was certain that he had pulled all of it out of her. He didn't know what to think.
His Rose, the one girl that he feared to lose out of everyone, clearly wasn't going anywhere soon.
He took his hands from her temples and placed them on either side of her chest and there it was. He could feel the gentle thumping of a heart on both sides. This was his confirmation and told him all that he needed to know. Rose was a Time Lord.
