DISCLAIMER: Only my imagination...Enjoy!

Chapter Ten: Introducing Adric Geoff Noble

Jackie ran after her daughter and grabbed her by the arm before she entered the console room. Rose looked at her mother's hand on her arm, and narrowed her eyes.

"What is it, mum?" she asked, calmly. "I'm about to claim what is rightfully mine."

"Rose, you didn't mean what you said earlier did you?" She asked, afraid of Rose's answer.

She looked at her mum – puzzled. "What are you talking about?"

Jackie swallowed hard before answering. "You…you…you wouldn't really hurt another person would you?"

"Hurt another person?" She repeated. "Where did you get such a terrible idea like that?"

Jackie didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Earlier…you'd mentioned…" she let go of Rose's arm and covered her face with her hands. "Oh god, Rose…"

The young woman engulfed her mother in a warm hug. "It's okay mum." She said sweetly. "The events of the day are finally catching up to you," she stroked her mother's hair lovingly and kissed her forehead. "What you need is a nice little nap. I'm sure the Doctor wouldn't mind if you use my room to rest, after all I won't need it."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Mum." She giggled, blushing furiously. "The Doctor and I are going to be sharing a room, silly." She kissed her mother for a second time and laughed.

"I-I…"

Rose waved her words away and walked into the room.

She smiled brightly at everyone including the Human Doctor.

He raised an eyebrow in suspicion.

"Please forgive my earlier behavior," she announced apologetically to the group. "I really do want to help, after all this is for the man we all love." She said sweetly, tucking her hair behind her ears.

Mickey scoffed as he rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Don't you mean obsessed with?" He muttered under his breath.

Rose pretended not to hear, after all Mickey had always been jealous of the Doctor – besides he was on her permanent shit list for refusing to help her with the Dimension Cannon Project.

"How are the plans for the party going?" the Doctor asked as he walked into the room with a gorgeous smile on his handsome face, "have we all agreed that there will be no nudity of any kind, Jack?"

"Boo," Martha interjected as she walked into the room a few seconds later.

Rose immediately noticed Martha's hair was no longer in a tight bun but worn straight with the ends curling around her shoulders; her soft tresses bounced as she walked.

"The Doctor really knows how to put a damper on things, doesn't he?" She ghosted her index finger over the back of his hand as she passed by.

The Doctor's cool body temperature rose a few degrees.

Jack winked at the Doctor as he tried to pretend that Martha's touch didn't have an affect on him.

"You looked radiant Martha," Jack said, his voice dripping sex. "What's your secret?"

"An excellent physical fitness program," She replied, looking discreetly at the Doctor. "You know bending over and…stuff."

The tips of the Doctor's ears turned bright red.

Martha spotted the Human Doctor still sitting away from the group and frowned.

Their eyes met briefly, the loneliness and sadness behind them stabbed at her heart. It reminded her of the Year she had walked the earth; loneliness and sadness were her constant companions in a world where the mere mention of her name was a death sentence.

Rose could hardly contain her glee as Martha approached the abomination with a loving smile.

That's right, Martha Jones go and comfort the pathetic thing. She said to herself, smirking. Maybe you both can comfort each other after I kick you off the TARDIS.

For a brief moment, Rose had to admit she could see why the Doctor might be a little interested in someone like Martha. She was kind of pretty and from what little information she could get out of Donna and Jack, Martha was a total swot. So she understood all that techno geek talk about things the Doctor gets so excited about - things that make her brain hurt.

When the Doctor did tried to explained such things to her using the simplest of terms that even a child could understand; she would twirled her hair, nod often and smiled coquettishly. Usually, about that time he would sighed, smiled and pat her gently on the head.

Who need brains when you're blond, young and pretty?

"How are you doing?" Martha asked.

"I'm still trying to figure things out." He admitted. "I have to get use to the fact that I when I die that it's final," he held back his tears. "There will be no regeneration for me…just…death."

"Sorry," she rubbed his back to comfort him. "I can't imagine how you're feeling."

"I wish you could be at my side as I learn what it's like to be human."

"I'm here for you now," she reminded him. "Not only me, but everyone in this room if you only ask."

"Let see, Jack would try to seduce me," he chuckled.

"Jack is like that with everybody."

"Donna…well we would bicker and slap each other senseless." He instinctively reached up and rubbed the back of his head.

Martha giggled.

"Sarah Jane, I think she would try to mother me as well as Jackie…Mickey, he don't have much use for me since I…um he stole Rose from him."

"I think Mickey wouldn't hold that against you," she said. "He and the Doctor had let go of the animosity between them."

"Rose…well we know what she thinks of me."

"Please don't dwell too much on what others think of you," she advised him. "The only opinion that should matters is yours."

"And yours," he added.

"Well in that case, I think that you are brilliant and have a fantastic life waiting for you."

"Thank you, Martha Jones," he grinned. "I shall cherish those words in my heart always."

With Martha and the fake Doctor busy chatting each other up, Rose saw this as her chance to be alone with the Doctor and remind him that they belong together. As she took her first step in his direction, she heard Mickey shouting Jackie's name.

"Rose! Your mum…come quickly!"

She turned around and saw her mother slumped over in Mickey's arms.

"Mum!" She cried, running to her side.

Martha jumped up and went into doctor's mode, as she checked Jackie's vitals.

"Doctor!" Rose cried. "Do something, save my mother!" She wrapped her arms around him and buried her face in his chest.

"How is she?" He asked Martha, placing a comforting arm around the distraught young woman.

"She seems okay," Martha asked. "May I use your sonic screwdriver?" He reached into his pocket and handed it to Martha. "Thank you." She said, setting the sonic on the correct settings and scanned Jackie from head to toe.

Donna and Jack glanced at each other, realizing that the Doctor and Martha's relationship went a little deeper than they had first thought.

"What's the prognosis?"

"She's fine," Martha replied. "She just fainted."

"Mickey would you mind taking her to Rose's former room?" the Doctor asked.

"Not at all, just show me the way." He lifted the woman, who he considered to be his surrogate mother, carefully in his arms.

"Rose," the Doctor replied, "please, show Mickey to your former room."

Rose pretended not to hear, she was too busy using her mother's situation to cling on to him.

"Rose…" He tried removing her arms but she had him in a death grip.

He looked at Martha apologetically.

"She's frightened." Martha said, understandably. "Why don't you take Mickey?"

He nodded; he couldn't have loved her more at that moment.

Donna looked behind them and shook her head.

"Martha you're a better woman than me," she commented.

"What do you mean?" Martha asked, placing the sonic in her pocket.

"I would have slapped that little bitch into the parallel universe; you know she is using this situation as an excuse to sink her claws into him."

Martha laughed. "Really Donna, confident women aren't threatened by women like Rose."

"Alright Nightingale, I know you and the Doc are shagging." Jack spoke up. "And he obvious taught you how to use his sonic." He concluded.

"What do you want to know Jack?"

"Is it permanent, between you and the Doc?"

Before Martha could answer, they heard a familiar voice coming from behind her.

"What do you think Jack?"

Everyone turned around and came face to face with the Human Doctor.

He had a maniacal smile on his face, reminding them so much of their Doctor.

"Sorry, I was a bit anti-social, but who wouldn't be? Considering the situation," he looked at Martha and winked. "My name is Adric, by the way, Adric Geoff Noble." Donna gasped and threw her arms around him. "Do you approve?" he asked the woman who is responsible for his birth.

She nodded. "Very much, thank you."

Mickey laid Jackie across the bed and fluffed the pillows.

He frowned as Rose refused to let go of the Doctor.

"Rose, you need to attend to your mother," he hissed. "She needs you right now."

The Doctor looked at Mickey, embarrassed by the whole scenario.

Jackie began to stir.

"Rose…" she said weakly, "Rose…"

"She's here mum," Mickey replied, taking her hand in his. "Rose, take your mother's hand." He hissed.

Rose reluctantly let go of the Doctor.

He quickly left.

"Mickey…?"

"You're going to be okay mum," he assured her. "You just fainted that's all."

She looked at Rose, who was staring at the door – crestfallen because the Doctor didn't stick around.

"Where am I?"

"In Rose's old room," he brushed her hair from her face and planted a kiss on her forehead. "Rose is going to take care of you until you feel better."

She smiled at Mickey. "Are you going to stay awhile?"

"If you want me to, I will."

"I want you to."

"Rose?" She called out. "Rose?"

"I'm here mum." She said, trying to keep her tears at bay.

"Rose, love please don't cry, you heard Mickey, I'm going to be alright."

"I'm sorry mum, I-I…" she reached for the doorknob, only to find that the TARDIS had removed it.

A/N: I love Donna...lol thanks for reading!
