Hi everyone so we left off with the gang being transported back to Earth

"Where are we" asked Rose.

"We're just off Bloxam road. We did it" said Mickey joyfully

The Doctor held up his hand and said. "Wait a minute. Wait a minute" They all watched as the ship disappeared from veiw slowly. Rose took Emma from Minkey and hugged him and then she handed Emma to her father who held her close to his chest and ran over to Alex and hugged him too.

Harriet Jones and the Doctor watched the ship as it disappeared and Harriet turned to the Doctor and said "My Doctor"

"Prime Minister" the two of them hugged both keeping their distance to prevent squishing little Emma who was snuggled into her father's protective embrace and when they parted Harriet said "Absolutely the same man" she walked forwards a few steps and said "Are there many more out there?"

The Doctor joined her and said "Oh, not just Sycorax, there's hundereds of species, thousands of them. The human race is drawing attention to itself. This planet's so noisy, everyday you send out messages, probes and signals. Earth is being noticed more and more. You'd better get used to it" the Doctor's attention was captured by his mother-in-law who was screaming Rose's name

"ROSE"

"Talking of trouble" said the Doctor as he watched his wife run to her mum and Jack was with her. Rose and Jackie hugged and Jackie said "You left me."

"We did it Mum. You did it too. It was the tea, it fix his head" said Rose the smile that was on her face was echoed in her voice as she spoke and looked at the Doctor.

"Is it really him, is it really the Doctor" The Doctor looked at his mother-in-law and shrugged and Jackie hugged him as did Mickey, Rose and Jack, the five of them were careful not to squash little Emma, who was still in her father's arms. The family (including Mickey and Jack) talked quietly and while they were talking Harriet Jones ordered Torchwood to fire.

Suddenly there were sounds all round the estate and the Doctor looked livid and Rose said "What is it?" The Doctor didn't answer her, instead he handed their daughter to her and said to Harriet Jones "That was murder" the man was like fire and ice and Mickey was the one who noticed it first and he was terrified and decided there and then never to get on the Doctor's bad side, cause, just like with Captain Jack Harkness, he would regret it immediately

Harriet Jones looked at the Doctor with confusion written all over her face. "That was defense" she said simply

"But they were leaving" said the Doctor through gritted teeth.

"You said it yourself Doctor, that they would return to the stars and tell others of the Earth"

"Britain's golden age" he spat.

"It comes with a price"

"Don't challenge me Harriet Jones, cause I'm a completely new man."

"What does that make you then Doctor another alien threat?"

"I could bring down your government with a single word"

"You are the most remarkable man I've ever met, but I don't think you're quite capable of that"

"No you're right, not one word, just six"

"I don't think so"

"Six words"

"Stop it"

"Six" the Doctor walked away from Harriet and stopped beside Alex and removed the hands free headphones from his ear and said quitely enough for only Alex to hear. "Don't you think she looks tired" he handed him the earpeice and walked away and Rose, Jack, Mickey and Jackie joined him and the four of them headed back to the flat.

Once back at the flat the Doctor used the sonic screwdriver to call the Tardis and he told the others that he was going to the Tardis to change and Rose asked "What's wrong with what you were wearing before?"

"When I regenerate my sense of style changes and even if I wanted to wear what I used to wear Its too big for me now. I'm slightly shorter and I'm skinnier (if that's even a word) so I can't. I'll be back." He walked out of the flat and went down to the Tardis which was parked right outside the flat and he went inside and headed to the wardrobe room and spent some time choosing his new style. Eventually he settled for a brown pinstriped suit and a brown trench coat he messed up his hair a bit and then went back up to the flat to find out what Rose thought of him now.

The Doctor had been gone for what felt like forever to Rose and she kept looking out of the window to assure herself that he hadn't left her, not that he would (she hoped). She helped her mother to organise the Christmas dinner and set the table. The four of them sat round the table and Rose asked Jack to carve the turkey, which he did and just as Rose was setting a plate down on the table for the Doctor, someone opened the door and walked in to the flat. Rose turned round to see who it was and she saw the new Doctor standing there in his new suit and trench coat and she gave him her biggest smile, the one that she always reserved for him and he grinned back at her with the same cheeky smile he'd given her in his last incarnation and she new there and then that this man was still her husband and the father of her child. The Doctor joined them at the table and for once actually did domestic and even though he would never tell Jack he was actually enjoying it.

Rose and the Doctor pulled a cracker together and the Doctor said "That's yours" and handed the paper hat that was in the cracker and she said "It's pink. Mum, it should be yours" she put the hat on and caught a glimps of the television and it showed Harriet Jones trying to deny that she was unfit for office. The DOctor whipped out his new glasses and sat infront of the TV screen and watched. The phone rang and Jackie answered it, she adressed the room at large and said "It's Bev she said to go outside"

"Why?" asked Rose

"I don't know. Just go outside and look"Jackie retorted.

The five of them trooped outside, Jackie was carrying her grand-daughter. Rose and the Doctor stopped beside the Tardis and they looked up at the sky. "It's beautiful" Rose said as she watched what she thought was snow laning on the ground and on the Tardis and watching the meteors flying across the sky.

"What are they? Meteors?" Rose asked

"It's the space ship breaking up in the atmosphere. This isn't snow, it's ash."

"Ok. Not so beautiful"

"This is a whole new planet Earth, there's no denying the existance of aliens now everyone saw it. Everythings new"

"And what about you?"

"Back to the Tardis, same old life."

"On- on your own?" she asked carefully

"Why, don't you want to come?"

"Yeah"

"Do you though"

"Yeah"

The Doctor was relieved sort of "I though cause I'd changed-"

"I thought cause you'd changed, you wouldn't want me anymore"

"Oh I'd love you to come"

"Ok"

Mickey looked hurt "You're never gonna stay are you?"

"There's so much out there. I've got to"

"Yeah"

"Well I think you're mad, the pair of you, it's like you go looking for trouble"

The Doctor walked over to him mother-in-law and draped a lazy arm around her shoulders and said "Trouble's just the bits inbetween its all waiting out there, Jackie, planets, creature, horizons. I haven't seen them yet. Not with these eyes" He walked over to Rose and said "And it is gonna be. Fantastic" he extended his hand towards his wife hoping that she'd take it and he laughed when she said

"That hand of yours still gives me the creeps" The Doctor waggled his fingers at her and she took his hand and said. "Where are we going first"

The Doctor looked up at the sky and pointed and said "That way" he paused "No" he adjusted the way his arm was pointing and said "That way"

"That way?"

"Alright?"

"Yeah"

Emma broke up the moment that her parents were sharing and the Doctor took her from Jackie's arms and she immediately stopped crying and looked up at her daddy with big eyes. Rose looked at the Doctor and said "If Emma recognises you as her father then I know now that you're still the man I married, just with a new face, that will take some getting used to." she stepped closer to him and slipped her arms round his neck and stood on her tip toes and pressed her lips to his in the most passionate way she could without squashing her daughter who was snuggled in her fathers left arm and his right was wrapped round his wife when they broke their kiss he kept his arm wrapped round her and she moved to his side and rested her head on his shoulder and they watched the parts of the space ship fall to Earth.

The Doctor looked down at his wife and said "Sweetheart?"

Rose looked up at him "Yeah?"

"Why don't we leave Emma with Jackie and go away for a couple of weeks just so we can get to know the new me?"

"Ok"

The two of them headed into the flat alone as the other three had headed inside when they were talking about where they'd go first.

The next chapter for this story will be the last, there will be a sequel wchich will be up as soon as possible, cause I've got three other fics that are still in progress and I'd like to get them a little further on before I start something new.

That's chapter eleven edited
