As much as the Doctor didn't want to admit it Oswin was better, She was happier than she had been, even when they first met her all those months ago.
"We have to take her home sooner or later Doctor and you know it." Rory stated. He and the Doctor walked side by side behind the giggling Oswin and Amy. Amy had convinced the Doctor to take them to the Mall of America. Because 'Oswin was in desperate need of a shopping day and they were perfectly safe from an alien invasion'
"I know but..." "She's well now, you did it, you saved her, and now its time to let her go." The Doctor glanced up from the floor had been staring at. Oswin was waving him over to come look at something. "Doctor look at this dress!" she cried happily. It was a deep navy color that was shorter in the front and longer in the back. "If you like it you can have it." he smiled, he loved seeing her happy. "Really?" Oswin's eyes lit up. "Really." Amy grabbed her arm and they scurried around the store.
"You aren't going to tell her that your wallet is never ending are you?" Rory questioned with a smirk. The Doctor laughed "No I'm not."
"Meanwhile mine is not...Amy!" Rory called running after them.
They had picked up lunch in the food court on the way back to the Tardis. Stopping at a place called Chick-fil-a. Which they all could agree was their new favorite place to eat.
Now they were sitting around the console room finishing the last of their milkshakes. The Doctor had been thinking a lot about what Rory said. He really hated to say good bye, He would miss her but he's sure she's missing her family.
"Well Oswin," he began uncertainly "you've really have been getting better the past few days, and well we been in touch with your family ..." Oswin looked up from her milkshake. "My family?" she whispered eyes watering. "Yes, there right where you left them, and you're well enough, so whenever you are ready to go home they are waiting." She blinked a little before throwing her arms around the Doctor. "Thank you." she said, and the sheer amount of emotion in her voice melted both of his hearts.
Later on that evening when Oswin was getting ready for bed there was a knock her door. She opened it and there was the Doctor. Giving her a big goofy smile, hands grasping at nothing in the air. "Oswin!" he cheered grabbing her hand and dragging her down the hallway "I have to show you something!" they stopped at the Tardis doors.
"Now close your eyes!" she closed her eyes a little hesitantly "Okay, now...open!".She gasped "It's beautiful!" "It is isn't it?" he said, sitting down and letting his feet dangle into space below. Oswin sat too. "This is a star being born!" He glanced down at Oswin, the light reflecting of her deep brown eyes. "I'm going to miss this."
His hearts sank, he was hoping that maybe she would want to stay longer after seeing this. "Yeah," he replied "I'm going to miss this too."
