Hi there!

Finally I come here with the epilogue of this fic!

Thank you to everyone who has read and commented this, I'm very grateful for that. Here it is!


EPILOGUE

"You never told me how the Tardis knew about your wish" the Doctor said while sitting in the captain's chair in the control room. She was standing in front of him, very close but not touching him yet.

"Oh, it simply read my mind and knew, there's not much more to say about it" Rose's response was evasive, but no one could compete with the Doctor's intelligence.

"But the TARDIS was in a state of coma, I told it to do so and it never has failed in doing what I had commanded… unless…"

"What?"

"Unless you felt desperate" said the Doctor looking at her with concern "the space ship was told to behave like it was dead, but the TARDIS recognizes you as one of the two people living inside it, and therefore is directly connected to your own feelings. It has the unconscious order to provide aid if the occupant needs it. Just as a friend does."

Rose kept silent, remembering the pain in her chest when the realization had entered her, knowing that the Doctor was dying and she couldn't do anything to save him.

"What happened, Rose?" the Doctor's voice was soft, and he took one of her arms, stroking it gently. Then Rose started to speak, her voice trembling as she told him her attempts to come back. Her words made the Doctor accept to himself that this decision could easily be one of the worst decisions he had made in his whole life.

"Then I said the words in my mind, and that was all it needed to bring me back to you" Rose's voice was normal once again, she had tears on her cheeks, tears that the Doctor wiped away with one of his fingers, leaving his hand there, still caressing her face.

"What words?"

She smiled, closing her eyes while she leaned down and kissed the Doctor's lips. And between soft, slow and gentle kisses, she pronounced the words.

"I love you".


And that's it, thanks for everything! Please if you've read it, take a little more time to tell me how I could improve!

Thanks and see you around! :)
