Donna POV

After saying goodbye to Martha and Tish, we headed back to my house and told my family we'd be leaving again in the morning. Any longer and we'd start seeming domestic, something neither of us could handle. It'd been a rough couple of days and we were ready to go back to what we considered normality.

"So, where have you two been all night? It's almost midnight for heaven's sake!" I almost rolled my eyes at my Mother but managed not to, I was too tired to deal with her right now.

"The whole thing turned out as a bit of a disaster, honestly Mum, you should be thanking him, everyone who went would be dead if it wasn't for him! He saved a couple hundred lives tonight, and it was tiring for everyone there so we're off to bed." Ever since we'd told her about our 'relationship' she didn't seem to have a problem with us sharing a bed - not that anything had gone on - neither of us had the nerve to in this houe.

"G'night Sylvia, Geoff." The both of us headed upstairs, I practically collapsed on to the bed in exhaustion and he laughed at me! I couldn't believe he had the nerve, I don't think he quite knows how many stairs there are in the church, it was a great workout though! "Are you going to get changed or just sleep in your clothes?"

"I don't actually have the energy to walk to the bathroom right now so I'm staying as I am. I don't really care, and neither do you. Come here, I want to get some sleep but I'm still unnerved by that ordeal and it's cold in here." I stated, prompting him to come and join me, he obliged after turning off the light and removing his shoes and suit. I feel asleep wrapped in his arms and all I could think about was how I couldn't wait to be back in my bed on the TARDIS, it was a lot more comfortable, no matter who I was sharing this bed with.

Doctor POV

The next morning we had breakfast with the Noble family and left after saying our goodbyes. As soon as we got back in to the TARDIS, I heard Donna sigh relieved - she whispered her greetings to the console - and head straight for the bedroom. Almost an hour later she came back out, looking rather annoyed and I asked her what was wrong.

"Could you please ask your spaceship why she's decided to start ignoring me?" I frowned wondering what she meant, the TARDIS seemed fine to me but I did as she asked. She won't let me inside her mind, I don't understand, but I can't speak to her. Oh great, not something had happened to Donna as well. "What is it? I know that face, it's your 'why can't we ever have a normal day' face."

"Yeah it is, she's been trying to talk to you but you've got a mental barrier up against and now I have to figure out why. Come here." She sat down beside me and I put my hands on each side of her head, trying to see inside her mind. It was easy enough once I'd broken through to figure out why it was there - it was backfeed from being inside the machine - completely harmless, and temporary. "It's all fine, try speaking to the TARDIS now." I watched a smile spread across as her face and knew that it had worked, it was a simple thing to do really.

"What are you thinking? Now you've got your 'why can't life be easy all the time?' face on." And I looked at her - How does this woman know me so well? - with an intense glare.

"It's just I want you to be that happy every minute of your life, I don't like seeing any other expression on your face. You look so much more gorgeous when you're happy and anyway how do you know me so well? Do I have a face for every single thought that runs through my mind?" She had a smug grin on her face.

"No, just the majority, and perhaps you should get someone braver to travel with you, someone who won't scream when they're about to get killed by a massive alien-apparently-human monster!" Yeah right, I thought, the only person braver than Donna was Leela and she was a time-travelling cavewoman!

"So where do you fancy going tomorrow? There's not much point in going anywhere today so we can just pop the TARDIS in the vortex and have a day indoors." I suggested, after an ordeal like that on Earth I didn't really want to go looking for more troublestraight away.

"I don't care, just something really alien, I feel way to normal after these past couple days. Life with you isn't supposed to feel normal and human." I didn't have any particular place in mind, I'd think of something by tomorrow though, I always did.

"You're probably right, I think I'm going to go and find something to eat, want to join me?" We headed to the kitchen together and sat down with some banana bread, it was shop bought so didn't taste as good as Donna's but it was fine for now. Donna is one of the best cooks ever, she tops most restaraunt food - even on different planets.

After we'd washed the dishes I heard Donna laugh a little as we were walking down the hallway.
