Chapter 11

After the three habitants were seated with a cup of tea each, the Doctor spoke.

"So, Jack, where have you been all this time?" He asked, his throat beginning to itch.

"Well, after you left me, I realized my transporter was broken." Jack explained, "I had to wait for years and years until you finally appeared again!"

The Doctor shifted slightly, then said, "I sorry, Jack, it really wasn't intentional."

"It's over and done with now. Doesn't really matter anymore." Jack replied, taking a swig of tea.

Martha looked down at her watch, "It's past midnight. Maybe it's time we got to bed?"

The Doctor looked round, "Martha, I just got up. I'm not tired." He stifled a yawn and turned back to Jack.

"But Doctor, you're sick." Martha retorted.

"Time Lords don't get sick!" The Doctor lied, "I'll go to bed when I feel like it!"

He turned back to Jack again, and Martha stood up.

"Fine, sorry Jack, but if you're not going to listen to me, then I'll just go."

Martha left the kitchen, her footsteps dying away after a minute.

"That one's fiesty, she is." jack stated, drinking more tea.

The Doctor shrugged, "She saved my life, and I felt I owed her something."

"She seems to care about you." Jack then said.

"Does she?"

Jack nodded.

"Are you thginking of staying, Jack?" The Doctor then asked, trying to change the subject.

"I thought I might, now that I'm all alone." Jack replied.

The Doctor was about to reply, but ended up in a coughing fit. As he tried tot get his breath back, Jack spoke again.

"You know, Doctor, maybe Martha was right. I don't think you've fully recovered, and you don't look so good."

"I'll be fine." The Doctor gasped, "I always am."

"What ever happened seems to have taken alot out of you."

"I'm fine, really Jack, I am." The Doctor replied roughly.

Jack smiled cheekily, "Whatever you say, Doctor, whatever you say."
