Chapter Seven; The Vision
Rose smiled as she stepped out of her cabin wearing her pirate outfit which was a puffy white shirt followed by a black vest and pants, boots, and a hat on top of her head. She also held a sword inside her holster. "Well, how do I look?" she asked The Doctor who simply grinned at her, except for the white shirt he was dressed like her except in brown.
"Rose Tyler," he began. "you look brilliant." He told her with a grin.
"Thanks but why do you still call me that? We've been married for years." She said as he gave a shrug.
"I dunno, you'll always be my Rose Tyler whether we're married or not." He told her.
"Oh." She answered simply.
"Hey, you're still my wife though. Peter was my peanut, Jane's my princess and Cassie's my munchkin. You're my Rose Tyler." He explained.
"Speaking of Jane how is she?" Rose asked him.
"She's fine. She's in her cabin doing her time. I think she understands that what she did was wrong." He told her.
"Yeah but how is she going to turn into a proper time lady if she can't follow instructions?" she asked him.
"Oh c'mon Rose, doesn't that remind you of anyone?" he asked her back. "If it wasn't for the age difference Peter would be my doppelganger, and Jane's a mini version of you." He said.
"So then what is Cassie?" she questioned.
"A little of both of us. She's got my brains but she's got your adventurous spirit." He told her before she looked over to the helm of the ship and walked away while he watched her.
"Well c'mon then, this can't be very much different from flying the TARDIS." She said as she took ahold of the wheel. "Or driving a car except that there are no pedals." She added as he stifled a laugh and walked over to her.
"What's so funny?" she asked as she turned to look over at him.
"You're really cute do you know that? I mean you're absolutely adorable thinking that you can just become a pirate overnight." He told her.
"Oh yeah?" she questioned before she took a swipe at his arm. "What is that supposed to mean!? That a woman can't captain a ship as well as a man can!?" he exclaimed.
"Well love no offense or anything but there were more male pirates than females." He pointed out.
"So? I could do it if I wanted to. It doesn't look that hard. I would think that you would have a little more faith in your wife." She said shooting an angry glare at him before storming away.
"Rose, wait." He said as he chased after her as she went back inside their cabin. "Look I'm sorry," he began as he stood over her while backing her up inside a corner. "I didn't mean it I was only teasing you." He told her as they gazed into one another's eyes.
"I know, that's not it. It's just that sometimes I wonder if you even believe in me anymore." She said as he placed his hand upon her cheek and rested it there.
"There is nothing I believe in more." He told her.
"Well it's just that now that you just started training Peter, and now Jane, I thought_" she began.
"That I forgot about you?" he questioned. "Cause I already told you a million times, that's never going to happen. I made my choice a long time ago and I'm never going to leave you." He told her as they continued to gaze inside each other's eyes for another moment until they sealed the gap away from them with a deep and powerful kiss.
The Doctor placed his hand upon her breast as he continued to kiss her before he reached back and closed the door, locked it, then picked her up and carried her over to the bed landing on top of her and continuing to make out with her as he took off his hat, removed his vest, and started removing his shirt. "I love you." He told her as he stopped for a moment to take a breath and unbutton his pants.
"I love you too." She told him as he started to undress her while continuing to kiss her lips until they were both unclothed and he started roughly making love with her feeling his two hearts pound against his chest and the blood and sweat rise to his forehead. Then he bent down and placed a tender kiss on her forehead.
Later on that evening Rose fell asleep under the sheets with her head resting on The Doctor's chest. He stroked her hair and ran his fingers through it before kissing the top of her head softly. "I love you." He whispered as he continued stroking her hair when all of a sudden she started to moan and tremble. "Rose?" he questioned as her body suddenly started to shake. "Rose, what's the matter?" he asked her worriedly.
"No,.. no,. Peter." She said.
"Rose, honey please wake up you're having a nightmare." He told her when suddenly she awoke with a shriek.
"Shh,.. it's alright." He assured her softly.
"Peter? Where's Peter?" she questioned him.
"He's alright, he's safe in his cabin. You were just having a bad dream that's all." He told her as she cuddled deeper inside his chest.
"Oh Doctor, it was awful." She sobbed as a tear rolled down her cheek. "There were Daleks and fire everywhere, they were after Peter." She told him.
"Shh,.." he whispered as he planted another kiss on the top of her head. "It's alright, it's all over now." He reassured her as he wrapped his arms tightly around her and rested his chin on the top of her head before bending down and giving it another soft and tender kiss while she continued to sob and her body continued to tremble. "Shh,.." he whispered softly while he gently rubbed her back.
