Author Notes: I want to thank all of those who have been reading this so far. This chapter I'm really not that happy with. I had gotten stuck and I needed filler so this is what happened. I promised the next chapter will be filled with more storyline and lots and lots of emails between Martha and TD. I know you all can't wait to see who she picks

Martha sat on her bed, in tears. She had just read the tragic love affair of Theta and his beloved Eve. He had met her right after he was forced to destroy his home planet, and she helped him heal again. Then, he loved her from afar, afraid that if he were to get close he would lose her. And just when he had decided to tell her how he felt, he was torn from her tragically. She couldn't help herself. She was in tears.

"What are you reading?" Tish asked upon entering her room.

"Hey, do you know what knocking is? I was just reading something that someone had sent me. He's writing a novel."

"Oh my god, are you still talking to that TD guy? I thought that John was home now. Are you going to go and see him?"

"I probably shouldn't do that. I don't want to give him false hope, you know. I was worried about him in the hospital, but now he's home. He is with his family, so I better just let them have their time with him. I will see him at work."

"How, Martha? You quit that job," Tish explained.

"He works at the hospital, and I'm sure I will still see him. What do you want?" Martha snapped.

"I want you to stop this and go and see him. Any fool can tell how hung up you are on him. You were there for him while he was ill, and everyone saw it. Go and see him, if only in the capacity of how you used to be going see your friend."

Martha thought for a moment about what her sister was saying. She decided that Tish was right. There was nothing wrong with going to check on John. After all, she was his doctor and he was her friend.

John couldn't keep the smile off his face. He had told her about Rose. Well of course, he named her Eve, but everything else was the same. Now, he would tell her about Martha, and then he would tell her the truth. How would she feel about that, though? She had come to see him every day, but there was still some distance between them. Something was holding her back, and he knew it. And that was why TD was going to fix things.

Now he just had one more problem. Martha's birthday was coming up. He knew the best gift, but he couldn't give it to her, because at the moment, she hated his guts, and then TD wasn't close enough to her yet to give it to her. Just then, an idea struck him.

He got up, went to the closet, and pulled out the suit that had cursed him to live this horrible life on the alternate world. He began to go through the pockets, and just when he thought he had found the object of his desires…

"Oh my God! John, are you okay?" Rose asked as she rushed in helping him to his feet.

"I'm fine, thank you," He told her, pulling away and getting to his feet.

"Well, I was worried when I came in and you were on the floor. If mom would have come in she would have panicked. You know she's still afraid for you. You died in her arms John. She's scared, but I've already said that."

"Yes, I know how she is feeling. Why are you here? I thought that you and Gwen had a date?"

"We do. I just came up here to tell you that you might want to freshen up a little."

"Why?" he asked, eyeing her suspiciously.

"There's a certain doctor waiting for the okay to come up and see you."

"What?" he asked, almost panicked.

"You heard me. Once she gets past mum, she will find her away up here. Good luck, love." She kissed him on the cheek and exited his room.

Martha Jones didn't exactly know how she was supposed to feel about what was happening now. She had just come over to see how John was doing, and now here she was getting the second degree by his mother.

"So is this a house call?" Jackie asked as she placed the tea in front of her Martha.

"Well yes and no, I suppose. I knew that he was coming home today, and I wasn't the doctor on call when he got the okay to leave. I guess I just wanted to see that he was okay on my own."

"I don't know if I should let him see you," Jackie spat back.

"Jacks…" Pete warned.

"No, Pete. Our Johnny takes her to the past and she gets to see her sister, and she finds out things about Torchwood that she never would have known about. And how does she repay him? She breaks his heart. I saw it breaking. I had to take him in my arms and he died, right there on that floor!" Jackie shouted.

"Jackie, she knows what happened to him, she was there and she helped with his recovery."

"He never would have had to recover if she hadn't broken his heart."

"Jacks, give the poor girl a chance. She came to see him. He is a grown man. You can't very well stop her from seeing him if that's what he wants."

"I suppose I can't. You know where the room is," she smiled.

Jackie watched as the young doctor went upstairs. A part of her really didn't want her to see him, but another part knew that she would be there to smack Martha down if she hurt her son.

"Jacks…" Pete warned again.

"What? I let her go, didn't I?"

"Yeah, but you're staring daggers at her back. You know he's been waiting for her. Let them be, love."

"Fine, I will give Martha the benefit of the doubt, but so help me if she hurts him again I'll—"

Jackie melted when Pete made her lose her trail of thought by kissing her passionately.

John couldn't believe what was in his pocket. He was just, there was no words for what he was feeling right now. His brother didn't hate him, he didn't hate him and before he knew it, he was in tears and he thought that he might die from pure happiness. He was startled when he felt arms around him.

"John? Are you alright?" she asked, leaning in closer to his body.

"Oh, Martha Jones, things just got so much better."

Rose Tyler sat down nervously at the dinner that she was an hour late to and was unable to look her girlfriend in the eye.

"What took you so long?" Gwen asked calmly.

"John. He's really broken up about Martha, but things are going to get better because when I was leaving, Martha showed up. I think they are going to finally be able to patch things up."

"Oh, cut the bull. You can't do this anymore because you messed up in telling me the truth. So tell me, when you are going to finally stop kidding yourself and break up with me?"

"What?" Rose asked in disbelief.

"Save it. I want you to look me right in the eye now Rose. Before this goes any further, I want you to look me right in the eye and tell me you are not in there with your precious Doctor!" she spat.

Rose couldn't believe what Gwen was saying. Of course she wasn't in love with John. The thing was, it was getting somewhat hard for her to tell her this.
