'Doctor! What the hell is going on?' he heard River's shout before he saw her stumble down the stairs. He moved immediately to catch her but she righted her footing with her usual grace.

'River…' he took her hand and squeezed it gently 'Do you remember me telling you about… about Rose?' her face fell and her eyes widened.

'R..Rose? Rose Tyler?' she pulled her hand away from his, her expression saddened. He had told her so much about Rose and she was the only thing that ever made River feel afraid. A Dalek, no worries. A gang of Silence, not a problem. The mere mention of Rose Tyler and her nerves turned to shreds.

'Yes. Rose Tyler' he grabbed her hand again and pulled her to her, steadying her as the Tardis continued to shake.

'Doctor!' Amy cried out as the Tardis shuddered to a halt and all the lights went out. The Doctor sprinted over to the console, feverishly hitting buttons and pulling levers.

'No, it's no use. We're stuck here. Twenty four hours at the very least, maybe more' he sighed as he slumped against the console.

'Doctor, I think you're forgetting that me and Rory don't know where 'here' is? And who's Rose Tyler?' Amy's face wrinkled in confusion.

'Right. Basically to cut a very, very long story short, I had a friend called Rose who got stuck in a parallel universe and can't come back and we're now there too' he shrugged apologetically at River, knowing how she felt about Rose.

'Right…' Amy looked between her best friend and her daughter, sensing the tension 'Well, might as well head straight out there!' at this, she ran towards the doors, pulling Rory along behind her.

'No, Pond! Stop!' the Doctor chased after her, skidding to a halt as he nearly crashed into his mother-in-law. Amy was looking around with a slight frown on her face.

'You know, I think you've got it wrong this time. It's just Earth. London, maybe?' the Doctor sidestepped her, shaking his head.

'No. Sorry Pond. It's definitely-' his voice stuck in his throat as he saw what he'd been dreading and longing for all in one. Rose Tyler was stood on the other side of the road, her hand encased by a very familiar hand, the hand that used to be his hand. The Doctor watched, rooted to the spot, as they walked over to him.

'Hello, stranger' such simple words in a voice that he hadn't heard in so long nearly made him crumble on the spot.

'H..Hello' he was struggling to stop himself from leaping over and hugging her so tight he cut off her circulation when she moved in and wrapped her arms around him in a hug that wasn't so far off the mark. They stood like that for at least a minute before he heard the familiar sound of a very Scottish clearing of throat and he broke away, turning around.

'So Doctor, are you going to introduce us to your friends?' Amy eyed Rose and the other Doctor suspiciously.

'Right. Yes, of course. This is Rose Tyler and this is… It's complicated but just think of him as a human version of me in my last regneration' he spoke quickly, trying to get through it all before Amy interrupted 'And Rose, this is Amy and Rory Pond, my new companions' he beamed at the Ponds and then smiled timidly at his wife 'And this is River Song, she's Amy and Rory's daughter. Don't ask, she's a time traveller too, it's all very complicated and wonderful' he turned back, grinning.

'God, you talk even faster' Rose told him, grinning 'Nice to meet you all' she nodded at the three Ponds 'This is my boyfriend, John Smith he's called now'.

River noticed the way Amy's eyes flashed when Rose said the word boyfriend and smiled to herself. She knew she could always count on her mum to be protective of her and guessed how she must be feeling at suddenly being thrown into this world with people she knew nothing about. Smiling wickedly, she wondered how Rose Tyler would react if she knew that she wasn't the Doctor's main or even occasional topic of conversation.

Okay, hope you enjoyed. Next chapter soon, hopefully. Pease review!
