A.N.—Okay, So, I know it's been a little bit since I updated, but for awhile I was doing pretty good, about one chapter a day! Plus, at the time I was on spring break, so, I could stay up till all hours writing, updating and what not. But, on a happy front I am now on Summer Vay-cay, meaning I can once again adopt wacky writing hours, and post whenever I feel like it. I am now also going to shamelessly beg all you DW fans, as I am assuming you are, to check out my Torchwood fic 'Take It Off'. Pervy, I know, but I really need some feed back, and would love if ya'll checked it out!
"Baby, you almost ready to go?" Rose asked Jack. It was 2:30 in the morning and Rose wanted to get home and get out of this damn dress.
Jack smiled down at Rose. "Sure, Sweetheart. Go get Aurora and I'll be over to tell your parents good-bye in a sec. I just need to tell Gwen something about closing down here." He kissed her neck and squeezed her hand.
Rose giggled and kissed his cheek before pulling away. "Okay. See you in a minute."
As Rose walked across the almost empty dance floor she was looking around. To the average person it would look like she was seeking out her parents or Aurora, but she was actually looking for The Doctor. She hadn't seem him since she had accepted Jack proposal 3 hours ago, and she was nervous that he might have said something to Aurora. She spotted Jackie standing at the edge of the room.
"Mum, have you seen Aurora? It's late, and Jack and I are leaving soon."
"Oh, Aurora? She's over there talking with your father and one of his friends. She had such a good time tonight, Rose. Her first real Torchwood event and her mother gets engaged! Now she's gonna want to come to every Torchwood party."
Rose smiled. "Believe me, no one was more surprised than me! I never thought he was going to propose, much less in front of all those people!" She laughed.
"Well, I think everything worked out perfectly! Your going to marry the man of your dreams, and live happily ever after with Aurora." Jackie said, smiling at Rose.
Rose stiffened at 'The man of your dreams'. When her mother first said it, Rose's mind had flicked to The Doctor. 'Stop it!' She told herself. 'You're in love with Jack, and you're going to marry him!'
"Yeah, it seems like I'm finally going get my happily ever after, doesn't it Mum?" She said.
"Yes, it does. And I couldn't be happier for you." Jackie gave her daughter a hug.
"Well, I better go round up Aurora. No doubt she'll fight me to stay longer." Rose said.
"Oh, Rose, why don't you let her stay? She's having the time of her life. We'll bring her home with us, and she can spend the night."
"Mum, it's late—"
"So? Tomorrow is Saturday, she can sleep in. She's almost 16, Rose. She's young. let her enjoy herself."
Rose smiled at her mother. She knew this was one battle she wasn't going to win. "All right. You're sure you don't mind taking her home with you?"
"No, it'll be fine. Besides, Aurora loves to spend the night at our house."
"All right, I'm just going to go tell her good-night. I'll see you tomorrow, when I come get her." Rose leaned over and kissed her mother on the cheek and hugged her before walking away to see Aurora.
Aurora saw her mother coming and automatically said "Mom, please can I stay longer? Grandpa and Mr. Jones and I are having a talk about different ways—"
"Yes you can stay. I've already talked to your grandmother, you're spending the night with them."
Aurora's face light up. "Really? So I can stay?"
"Yes, but, Jack and I are leaving now, so come give me a hug." Aurora hugged her mother happily and kissed her cheek.
"Thank you so much for letting me come tonight! I loved it! And congrats again on you and Jack." She said as she squeezed her mother.
"You're welcome, Sweetheart. Now, you listen to your grandparents, and I'll see you tomorrow." Rose said. She said good-bye to her father and Mr. Jones and then met up with Jack at the base of the stairs.
"So Aurora's staying at Pete and Jackie's tonight?" Jack said, taking her hand as they started up the stairs.
"Yep. She's had such a good time tonight, I think Mom will have to use a stick of dynamite to get her out of here." Rose laughed.
They reached the top of the stairs and thanked the staff members who were at the doors. As soon as they reached Jack's car Rose took off her heels. Jack laughed.
"What!? My feet have been killing me since 12:30! You try wearing 4-inch heels for 6 hours straight!"
"What makes you think I haven't?" Jack asked as he helped Rose's dress into the car.
Rose laughed. "Knowing you, you've probably done it willingly."
"And on several different occasions." Jack winked at Rose before shutting her door and getting into the driver's seat.
10/R10/R10/R10/R10/R10/R10/R10/R10/R10/R10/R10/R10/R10/R10/R10/R10/R
They reached Rose's house and Jack helped Rose out of the car.
They entered the house and Rose headed straight up the stairs to her room.
"You seem very eager to get into the bedroom, Ms. Rose Tyler… or should I say "Mrs. Barrowman?"
"You have no idea." Rose said, opening her bedroom door and turning the lights on. "Unzip me."
"And you seem very ready for me to undress you… what exactly do you plan on doing to me tonight Rose?"
"Oh, more than ready. This dress is killing me."
Jack unzipped her dress and let it fall to the floor in a heap. Rose stepped out of it and Jack pulled her to him.
He kissed her passionately on the lips and ran his hand up her back and into her hair. Rose sighed into the kiss.
"What are you thinking?" Jack asked, breaking the kiss and looking down into her eyes.
Rose grinned. "I'm thinking that now that I'm out of that dress, you could help me take off this really uncomfortable corset… then the rest is up to you."
"Really?" Jack raised an eyebrow and leaned down to kiss her neck.
"Yep, get me out of this thing, and you can do whatever you want with me."
Jack quickly pulled away from Rose and turned her around. He undid her corset and let it fall to the floor too.
"Time to hold up you end of the bargain." He teased and lifted her into his arms, carrying her over to the bed.
"Go right ahead." She giggled as Jack laid her down and then joined her on the bed.
"You sure?"
"Within reason Jack." But Rose meant it. Now that she was out of that tight dress and painful corset, she didn't care what happened.
Rose let Jack kiss her, and once he started to move down her neck she began to undo his shirt.
"I don't know how women lived years and years having to wear those damn things." She mused to herself, thinking of Madame de Pompadour for the second time that night.
Which of course led her to think of The Doctor.
Suddenly, Rose become super aware of Jack pulling his shirt off and leaning back down to kiss her on the lips.
"OH GOD. I really do not want to have sex with Jack tonight… not after everything that's happened with The Doctor." Rose thought to herself. "How am I going to tell Jack that I don't want to be with him the night he asked me to marry him!?"
Suddenly, as id someone was reading her mind, the phone rang loudly. Jack groaned.
"Can we let it go?" He asked kissing her neck.
"Jack, no. It's 3 o'clock in the morning, if someone's calling, it must be important." Rose said rolling over to answer the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hello? Rose, it's Gwen. Is Jack there?"
"Yeah, one second… what's wrong?"
"Oh, umm... just put Jack on the phone, could you?"
Rose handed the phone over to Jack and mouthed 'It's Gwen'
She then proceeded to get off the bed and begin to get dressed in jeans and a long-sleeved shirt.
"And you're positive you can't tell what it's coming from?... Alright, I'll be there in 20." Jack hung up the phone.
"What's up?" Rose asked turning to face him as she put her watch on.
Jack ran his hand through his hair. "Everyone was just getting ready to leave when all of a sudden Ianto picked up some ridiculous spikes in foreign alien power. They think there might have been something hiding out at the party, waiting for guests to leave. I think I need to go check it out."
Rose shrugged. "Okay, well, get changed and I'll call mom to see if Aurora's okay."
Jack shook his head. "She's alright. Gwen said that Pete was bringing her and Jackie home and then he was coming back to the Hotel."
"Okay. Hurry up and I'll meet you down in the car." Rose said. She leaned over and quickly kissed Jack on the lips.
Jack kissed her back and then they broke apart, each going their own ways. Rose down to the car, Jack to the bathroom to change.
