Donna was outside of the Tardis, she was looking at the Doctor. He was talking to Jack and the Torchwood's team. After finishing their conversation, the Doctor made his way towards her. Even if Donna wanted to talk to Jack, she couldn't ignore the Doctor. So, she smiled to him and said:
"Well, what a day!"
"Yep! What a day …" awsered the Doctor popping the 'p' and grinning.
"Finally, I had the honour of meeting Rose." said Donna looking at the Doctor with a little smile. Her smile grew bigger when she saw his eyes shining with happiness when she mentioned Rose.
"Did she wake up? Did you talked to her? Did she ask for me?" asked the Doctor as he quickly walked towards the Tardis.
Donna bit her lower lip because she wanted to tell him everything about Martha, but she quickly answered.
"No, I haven't had a chance to talk to her yet. She is still asleep in her room. Poor girl, do you have any idea how she came back?"
The Doctor stopped walking towards the Tardis, knowing that Rose was still asleep. He turned around and looked at Donna.
"With Jack and his team, we believe that the Bad Wold used the Cardiff's rift to bring back Rose here." He answered calmly.
Donna stared at him longingly, with raised eyebrows, wondering what the hell he was talking about.
"Doctor! I understand every word, but when you put them together … I don't understand anything anymore. 'Bad what'? And 'Cardiff what'? » asked Donna, shaking her head.
The Doctor smirked; he always liked Donna for her … big mouth and her sense of humour. She was always very direct.
"Long story, but to summarize, Rose have this entity in her, calling itself the Bad Wolf and the rift … it's a crack, a scar, between dimensions … in Cardiff. The job of Torchwood is to monitor the rift and controlling and seize what comes through it and believe me, anything can comes thought it … like Rose, for example."
"All right, I understand the rift; I understand the job of Torchwood … but what I don't understand is the Bad Wolf?" she asked, frowning. "Why Rose have this entity in her? I thought she was human?" added Donna. She was really interested by the Bad Wolf's stuff.
"Rose is human; well … I thought she was until today. Because, no human can travel between universes ... through the void, like that. And the Bad Wolf ..." she sighed and said: "I still don't know what the Bad Wolf is, but all start when I met Rose. All I know is that Rose is still linked to the Bad Wolf, and the Bad Wolf is still linked to her. That's why I need to run tests on Rose now, Donna. Just to know if everything is all right with her, I need to be reassured."
"Yeah, it's good idea. That's what I would do too, if I were you."
Donna smiled to him, she was so happy for him. She could see in the Time Lord's eyes that he was … happy. She had never seen those eyes before. Right now, he looked so much younger and happier; it is as if someone had removed a huge burden from his shoulders, his head and his hearts. She could clearly see why the Doctor was in love with her: she was beautiful, cute and she was sure she was nice and funny. Donna was sure that Rose was like that, because she was the girl who had captured the Doctor's hearts, so she had to be … an incredible girl, and Donna was picturing Rose like that: beautiful, nice, funny, energetic, adventurous like him. Anyway, everything the Doctor needed in someone to be finally happy. And Donna wanted to get to know the young blonde girl. But, she instantly felt a knot in her stomach when she thought about what Martha had done. She needed to talk to Jack about all of this, she was sure he was able to do something.
"Doctor, I wanted to tell you that … I'm very happy for you. Your eyes ..." said Donna with a little smile.
"What about my eyes?" asked the Doctor, frowning, wanting to know her answer.
"You're happy. And it's really good to see you like this." replied Donna, with a soft smile.
The Doctor didn't know what to answer. Of course he was happy, even if he was concerned about Rose. He was happy right now. He nodded and said:
"I really hope that you will like her, Donna"
"Oh don't worry; I'm sure I will like her! If you love her, I'm sure that I'm going to love her too."
The Doctor smiled and asked:
"Great, so you wouldn't mind if she came with us, in the Tardis?"
"Of course not, why would I?" she quickly answered, stunned about the fact he was actually asking her this question. "First of all, she was here before me, and secondly, you are the driver. So basically, you are the one who choose the people who travel with you, right? You should probably ask this question to Martha."
"Ah … yes, probably" replied the Doctor, while looking down at the ground and putting his hand behind his head, like he always did when he was embarrassed. Honestly, he hadn't thought of that, at all. He was so happy that Rose was finally back that he had totally forgotten the whole drama with Martha. He really needed to do something about that, before things getting ugly between Martha and Rose. He should explain to Martha that he wanted nothing from her … just her friendship, and nothing else. And the most important … he needed to talk to Rose about his feelings for her, she deserved to know. He needed to arrange everything with Martha, he had to tell her the truth and stop giving her false hope about their relation. And, he didn't want her to tell Rose that she was in a relationship with him. Because, of course, everything was a stupid misunderstanding. And, he didn't want Martha to tell about their kisses … which meant absolutely nothing to him … but to Martha, their kisses was meaning something, sadly.
He shook his head; he really had to fix all of this. Anyway, he needed to run tests on Rose, right, now.
"Well, I'm gonna see Rose and run few tests on her. See you around, Donna." said the Doctor while he was running towards the Tardis. He didn't have the time …no, he didn't want to talk anymore, he had more important things to do: taking care of Rose.

Donna looked the Doctor go inside the Tardis, she took the opportunity to go see Jack. She ran to him, she took him by the arm and took him to a place where no one could hear them. Jack was wondering what Donna had, she seemed determined … but at the same time, she seemed lost.
"What's the matter, Donna?" asked Jack.
"We have a problem with Martha." quickly replied Donna.
"What? What's happening, Donna?" asked Jack, again.
"I just don't know how to say that …. Well, you probably know that Martha love the Doctor, right?"
"Yeah, I had a feeling about that … I mean, I saw the way she was looking at him. But I thought that she wasn't in love with him anymore, I mean, after all this time. She even had been engaged one day, with a guy, I don't even remember his name. So I thought that with the time, her feelings for him had faded."
"Yeah, well, apparently not. And believe me, I would have preferred she was still engaged to that man that you forgot his name."
"Why? Donna, tell me what is going on here?!" asked Jack, frowning his eyebrows.
"Let's say that the return of Rose doesn't make everyone happy." replied Donna with a sigh.
"Oh! I see." said Jack, also sighing.
"Yeah … That's not all, I wouldn't come to tell you just that, because honestly, it's her business if she is in love with him, and it's her feelings. But when it's affecting others peoples feelings, I just can't …"
"Wait, what do you mean?" asked Jack, putting one of his hand on Donna's shoulder. She seemed confused, disoriented.
"Martha ... she was in Rose's bedroom, and she woke up when Marha was here ... and ... Martha told her that she and the Doctor was in a relation … she told her about the kiss …"
"Wow, wow, wow ... Wait, what kiss are you talking about, Donna?" asked Jack, raising his eyebrows, shocked about this sudden revelation.
"You know, that kiss at the hospital on the Moon." she said, making air quotes with her fingers when she said the word -kiss-.
"What? It's ridiculous! This kiss was a genetic transfer. The Doctor told me about it when he told me about his adventures!" said Jack, shaking his head in disbelief.
"Exactly, everybody knows that, but not her. She wants to believe he's in love with her and that this kiss was actually a real kiss. And if I understood correctly, she said to Rose that she kissed the Doctor, more than once … she even told her that she had kissed him not so long ago."
"What? When?" cried Jack, his eyes wide open.
"Um, I don't know, probably before your call. Because just before I go to bed, she told me that she was ready to take their relationship up to the next level. In my opinion, everything happened when I was asleep. Of course, she didn't want to be interrupted. "
"Wow, I can't believe it!" exclaimed Jack. And really, he couldn't believe what he was hearing from Donna. Martha in love with the Doctor, and telling lies to Rose. It was just ... crazy. That was not the Marha he knew.
"Jack, what are we gonna do? I don't what to do! Because Rose believed Martha, and I heard her cried when Martha left her bedroom. I don't want the Doctor and Rose's reunion to be ruined because of Martha and her fantasies. You have to help me, Jack!" said Donna with a look of despair on her face.
"Of course, I'm gonna help you, Donna. And quite honestly, I already have an idea. But for that, we're gonna need some help" said Jack with a smirked. He put his arm around her shoulders and took her towards the Tardis.
"Ah and from whom?" asked Donna, staring at Jack with hope in her eyes.
"Oh, you'll see ..." answered Jack with a big smile. He opened the door of the Tardis, pushed Donna inside and followed her.

The Doctor entered Rose's bedroom, she was still asleep. Had she woke up from the last time? He hoped not. He wanted to be there, with her, if she waked up again. He didn't want her to panic, being alone if she woke up. He had so much to ask her … or say to her. He approached the bed. She was still wrapped in his coat, she was so adorable like that, and he could help but smile softly.
He removed the covers over her small and sleeping frame, and he careful shifted her up into his arms and quickly carried her inside and up to the med bay.
When he arrived, he laid her down onto the bed, as gently as possible. He didn't want her to wake up here and started his tests. After 10 minutes, he rose from his seat and looked at the screen to check Rose's vital signs.
When he saw what was written on the screen, he immediately gasped.
What? How?
It was impossible. Well, 'Impossible' was just a word and especially when it was about Rose Tyler.
On the screen, it was written that Rose Tyler was only nineteen years old.
She hadn't aged since …'Oh Rassilon' thought the Doctor. She hadn't aged since the day she looked into the heart of the Tardis. Why had he not run tests on Rose sooner? He had been so stupid!
She was still connected to the Tardis, and he had never noticed. Suddenly, everything became clear. He turned and stared at the impossible woman who was lying on the bed in the medical bay.
