Chapter 9

"Why did you do that!" Rose hissed at Jenny as a tear streamed down her face.

"What!" the Doctor said jumping back from Rose. Jack quickly scrambled away, dropping her arm like it burnt him.

"Rose was trapped!" Jack yelped looking at the Doctor with wide eyes. "And blonde. She had bleached blonde hair and her eyes were definitely brown and she had like half a foot on this shrimp. I'd never forget what Rose Tyler looked like."

"Or acted like. You are nothing like her," the Doctor glared. "Do you think this is funny, Jenny?" he asked with a frown. "Rose Tyler was trapped in an alternate world with me to be human and live and have adventures with him. They got married and had children and died together."

"What ever happened to her after she absorbed the time vortex?" Jenny shot back. "Did you ever think to check?"

"Jenny stop it!" Rose said. The Doctor and Jack looked at her and they felt their hearts soften at the completely broken look on her face. Gwen came and stood next to Jack while Mark, Paul, the woman Mark had called Hannah, and the little girl began slowly moving closer.

"Is this true?" the Doctor said looking into her eyes, hoping she would say no, but she nodded. "What happened to you?"

"The time vortex. When I was Bad Wolf I knew I wanted to give you forever. The way it should have been. Me, you, and Jack in your Tardis forever. I was only nineteen and so young. If you hadn't taken it out of me when you did I think it would have triggered my first regeneration. But you did and I remained human for then."

"Oh Rose," he said stepping forward and wrapping his arms around her. "I'm so sorry."

Jack continued to not believe what he was seeing, but it made sense. Why else would she have given him immortality when she hadn't fixed herself? She had just messed his up a bit.

"Then why did you regenerate?" Jack asked having to take a seat on a nearby chair because his legs felt weak.

"I was shot," she said breaking from the Doctor's arms and backing into a wall that she slid down.

"Wolf?" Paul asked speaking for the first time. "You shouldn't have to say if you don't want to. Tell them to go away and ask later." She smiled at him and the little girl stepped up to him and poked him in the chest.

"Oi! That's now true! My Doctor needs to know who she is and why she stole his Tardis!" said the little girl who had come from the Doctor's Tardis.

"It's not his!" Paul said glaring down at her. "It's hers!"

"Paul!" Mark admonished as the woman cried out "Vaughn!"

"I'm sorry," Jack said. "But this does need to happen now, and we mean no harm to your Wolf, young man." The boy glared but went to sit down next to Rose.

"I'm here for you," he said and took her hand. She grinned at him.

"I think I have the strength then," she said with a sweet smile for him. She took a deep shuttering breath. "I regenerated when I was shot," she began not looking anyone in the eyes. "Right here," she said holding a place above her chest, near a human heart. "Me and John, your clone, John Noble he called himself, were married and travelling around. I was as big as a house pregnant and he wanted to spoil me. He took me to Kalliope IV."

"That's a great place for pregnant women," Jack said not understanding where this was going.

"In this universe, sure," she said with a small smile. Jack and the Doctor felt their hearts drop. "In Pete's World it was a very violent place with a lot of struggles for power. We landed during the middle of a civil war. They grabbed us and we were accused of being spies and were going to be executed." Paul squeezed her hand and she smiled at him through her tears. "We ran away, but I was so huge and was slow. They caught up to us and surrounded us. The guards grabbed him and I tried to run, but they shot me and I fell. John came to me to hold me as I died, but I told him to back away, I knew that it wasn't the end. He somehow seemed to know and backed away and I regenerated."

"But you can't regenerate pregnant," the Doctor cried out, visibly upset by the cruel fate his double and his love had been handed. "It'll cause a miscarriage and the baby to disappear as if you'd never been pregnant."

"Yeah," Rose said miserably. "I know. While I was regenerating one of the guards fired a shot because they were terrified of what was happening. They'd never seen something like it before. They hit him in the back and I caught him before he fell. He died in my arms after telling me I wasn't ginger." She gave a small chuckle through her tears. There was no emotion in her voice as she continued. "The power of the Bad Wolf took over as it realized that I just lost my baby and my love. I killed every living thing on the planet that day. Every man, woman, and child. Every tree, bird and dog. Nothing lived expect me. I returned home to my mum and it took months for me to even move. I was grieving the loss of my family and horrified at what I had done." She looked at the Doctor. "I realized what I needed to do, though."

He looked down at her with so many emotions in his eyes. "What was that?"

"Very first thing you told me to do after you took my hand. Run." Her northern accent, so much like the old him, sent chills down his spine.

"Oh Rose," he said slowly coming to kneel in front of her. "I'm sorry that I didn't check and see what happened to you, so sorry. I'm sorry I left you there with him, I'm sorry-"

"Don't you dare," she said with something cold flashing through her eyes. "Don't you dare apologize for John. I loved him and he loved me. We were so perfect together because he gave us a chance. There is so much we could both apologize for, but never him."

The Doctor nodded and stood up looking detached. "I'll be in my Tardis." He walked away letting the door close loudly behind him.

"Rosie? Is that really you?" Jack asked with hope in his eyes.

"Yeah, it's me," she said standing up. Jack had her in his arms within seconds. She barely had time to gain her balance before.

"I thought you were gone forever!" he said spinning her around. "But now you're here! With us! Forever!" He set her down and beamed at her. "Gotta say, new you is hot, but I'm a little partial to the blond look," he said with a wink.

"I was too," she grinned. "Now I'm all leather and black, no pink anywhere, it makes this me cringe." She turned around and crossed her arms at Mark. "Care to explain who she is and why she's got her arms all around you?"

"Wolf!" he said with a small smile, still concerned for his friend after hearing her heart wrenching story. "This is Hannah, my wife."

"Mum?" Paul asked with a dropped jaw.

"Yeah, I've traveled with the Doctor since he was a sub for Vaughn's kindergarten class that had 3 aliens in it. They wanted to take over the children's minds. He offered for us to come with him and he'd teach Vaughn all she needed to know. That was two years ago, at least I think it was. Hard to keep track in that box of his," the woman Hannah said in one breath.

"Fantastic!" Rose said with a grin. "Mark meets alternate universe Hannah. Lovers reunited. But where is your Mark and Paul?"

Hannah's grin faded. "Dead, they died during the Battle of Canary Warf. Vaughn was a newborn and I had to keep going."

"Oh Hannah," Mark said hugging her.

"She's my sister?" Paul asked with a frown, obviously not pleased with the idea that the head strong little girl was his sister.

"Looks like it, doofus," Vaughn said with a roll of her eyes.

"Ahh, brother and sister love," Jack said slinging his arm around Rose.

"Hate to interrupt, Wolf, but something is beeping in your Tardis," Jenny said running over to the group. Rose hadn't even noticed her disappearance.

"Be right back," she said running full speed for the Tardis.
