What happened? Rose asked weakly as her hazel eyes look up at him.
He didnt want to tell her that she had became the Bad Wolf again, but she had saved their son and herself.
Bad Wolf, the Doctor whispered against her neck, causing her to shiver under his touch.
Is it gone? Rose asked, resting her head against his shoulder again.
For now, he replied softly, running his fingers through her damp, loose hair.
The Doctor wrapped his arms around Roses body and held her against him, then he stood. She slumped against his body when Jack moved out of the force-field to help the Doctor get Rose to the ship. Jack took John from her arms and entered the TARDIS first.
Shes weak, but she seems to be okay, the Doctor replied as he laid her against the grate flooring of the ship like he had after Satellite Five.
Does she always do this when the Bad Wolf takes over? Jack asked, bending over to brush the hair out of her face. John reached out for his mother when Jack squatted down.
Yeah, the Doctor replied, dancing around the console room. He pulled the bicycle pump and sent them sailing back into the Vortex. He came to stand by Rose as the TARDIS made its return trip to the Hub. She did the last time too. Give it few minutes, and shell be alright.
Jack stood and handed John over to his father. Instead of saluting at the Doctor, he took his hand and shook it before pulling him into a bone crushing hug.
Dont let it be a century before I see you again, Jack replied, pulling back from the Doctor with a huge smile on his face. I wanna see how these little ones grow.
The Doctor nodded, and Jack turned and looked at the two young ones standing beside the captains chair.
Behave, he said simply with a smirk.
He turned and kneeled back down beside Rose, then kissed her softly on the cheek. She murmured, but continued to sleep.
Standing back up, he turned towards the small family. Look after them, Doctor. I swear Ill hunt you down if you dont, Jack laughed when the TARDIS jerked.
Jack turned on his heel and walked down the ramp to the doors. He turned, looked back at them, and smiled. He placed his hand on the handle to open the door. He was met by female arms once again wrapping around his neck when he shut the TARDIS door behind him. The familiar scent and long dark hair caught him off guard.
Gwen? he asked when she pulled back and looked straight into his eyes.
Jack, her voice cracked with emotions she was trying to hold back. Her eyes were red and puffy from previous crying. They glistened with tears she was afraid to let fall in front of him.
Without any words, he pulled her into his arms. Gwen rested her head against his chest; her ear pressed close to his heart. Tears escaped her eyes and settled on his blue shirt. Jack ran his fingers through her dark hair when she tightened her grip on him.
I love you, she whispered against his chest, but she knew he could hear what she said. She pulled back and looked up into the blue eyes that always created the funny feeling in her heart and stomach. I love you more than I could ever love Rhys, she confessed as she stood back from him; letting his arms fall from around her.
Jack stared back at her in disbelief. No one had told him they loved him since his first marriage so many decades ago. She was supposed to be at home, planning her marriage to her faithful, life-fleeting boyfriend. She wasnt supposed to be here telling someone who couldnt die that she loved him. He had put the team and her in so much danger, yet now she looked back at him like he could no wrong.
I cant die, Gwen, he replied, rubbing the back of his neck. Some things rubbed off when you travel with the Doctor. The look in her eyes made his stomach drop to his feet.
Even though her eyes betrayed her, she stood her ground. Do you really think I care about that, Harkness? she replied with a smile he hadnt seen her smile in weeks.
Her arms flew around his waist, pulling him close to her body. Stray tears still fell down her cheeks, and with the tips of his fingers, Jack brushed the tears away. His fingers tangled with her dark locks when he cupped the back of her head. He lowered his head slowly as she inched her body as close to his as humanly possible. The contact of their lips was soft and sweet. Every amount of love she felt for him, she poured into the kiss.
Gwen snaked her arms up under his arms, beneath his armpits and rested her palms against the flat of his shoulder blades. As the kiss deepened, her hands moved; one lingered on the part of his back just before the curve of his bottom, and the other rested against his hip. The world seemed to float away from her. Gwen gasped when she felt him snake his hand beneath the blouse she had worn to Johns birthday. Jacks fingers brushed against the sensitive skin of her stomach and she moaned against his mouth.
She groaned in abandonment when he stepped back. The disappointment on her face disappeared as she opened her eyes to see him smiling back at her with his hand outreached towards her. Gwen softly took his hand and intertwined her fingers with his. Her hand fitted perfectly with his hand. He led her to the small hole she had seen him emerge from every morning. He climbed into the hole first, then motioned for her to follow. He caught her within his arms as she climbed down the ladder. She stood on her tiptoes, looking into his eyes when he sat back and pulled her into his lap.
Adele watched Rose with interest when she began to wake from the force that had overtaken her body. Familiar hazel eyes stared back at her, and Rose moved away from the girl. The young girl stood straight again and walked over to the console, to stand by the Doctor.
Doctor, who in the hell is this? Rose demanded, pointing at Adele.
Rose, the Doctor said, placing his hands on her shoulders to study her. John was asleep within his nursery. This is Adele, our daughter, he finished, turning to smile at Adele.
Rose moved her hand to hand to stomach when the pulse in the back of her mind grew brighter. Tears formed in her eyes as she stroked her stomach and looked back up at Adele and the Doctor. The Doctor nodded his head yes when Rose started to move up the ramp. Female arms wrapped Roses neck and hugged her like she would have hugged Jackie.
Where did I find such a beautiful name? Rose asked when Adele pulled back.
It means noble, but my whole name means noble wolf, Adele smiled when shock took over Roses face. Adele Tala Tyler, or as dad here likes to call me Adeletalatyler, Adele laughed, pointing at a grinning Doctor.
Rose looked over at the Doctor to see the familiar grin that made her knees weak and made him look like a mad scientist who had just made his greatest discovery. She walked over to the Doctor and took ahold of his hand, wrapping her fingers around his. This was his discovery, his wonder, his happiness that he wasnt the last of his kind after all.
