Ten
Here he was again. Same exact place with no clear escape. He almost hoped River would walk throught the door, so he wouldn't have to answer.
He tightened his bow-tie. "Of course he's not. Technically he's actually half Donna." He turned away from her mumbling.
She caught up to him. "That's not what I meant. I mean as much as I loved him he was only a replacement. Only a band-aid trying to cover the wound that you left, Doctor."
He moved a few feet away. "Rose." She grabbed him by his tweed jacket and pulled him closer. "I'm not a child Doctor, I'm not tired. My mind is clear and I know exactly what I want." She leaned forward and kissed him.
He put his hands on her shoulders and kissed her back for a minute or so before pulling away. "I'm married Rose."
She nodded, looking ashamed. "I know that. I'm sorry. It was an accident. Please... please don't tell River. She's been so nice to me and I hate to think..."
He nodded "It's okay. I won't tell her."
Rose nodded. "What were you fighting about with her?" The Doctor paused. "She thought I wasn't being sympathetic to you."
At that moment as if on cue River Song burst through the door.
"Hello Sweeties. Good talk?" The Doctor nodded and Rose wiped her eyes. "Yes, very much so. I should get going now."
She left and River turned to him. He didn't look at her. She moved to look into his eyes, but he looked away. She tried to catch his eyes and he met them for only a moment before looking at his feet. River sighed.
"I don't blame you. She's young and she's beautiful and I know you loved her. I suppose you still do, but I will give you one chance Doctor. Leave now. Go after her and I won't blame you. I won't hate you for it. No drama or anger. Just go, but it has to be now or else I'll hate you forever."
A/N: I'm leaving it up to you guys. Rose vs River.
