Hi, everyone! Sorry for the long wait. It's been a tiring summer, I've started a new story, "One Last Time," and I'm settling into a new school year. I just wanted to take this time to address some of the things I've read in the comments. First one being that Jenny and Thalia seemed to be able to fly the TARDIS and have a mental connection with it almost immediately and with no assistance from the Doctor. I could be wrong, but I believe I read somewhere or saw it in one episode that some Time Lord abilities are innate but can be improved upon in time and that the TARDIS does try to connect with everyone who enters her, including Jenny, Thalia, and Jack. Another criticism was that I was making Rose too soft on Thalia for being disrespectful and running away. At this point, Rose is realizing that a small part of this ordeal is on her for not being honest with Thalia. It's also a highly emotional time for Rose as she has lost her daughter, crossed dimensions to get her back, killed any Daleks who tried to stop her, and reunited with the man she has loved for sixteen years, so she may not always be thinking clearly. Plus, she grounded her. Also, if you had been through what Thalia has been through, would you want your mother to scold and punish you for something that happened to you, or would you want her to be sympathetic and understanding? Please think about that. I just wanted to get that off my chest.

Also, I do not own F.R.I.E.N.D.S., as there is a reference to one of the final episodes in this chapter.

I was also considering having Jenny and Thalia walk in on the Doctor and Rose, but I felt that might be a bit much. Still, this chapter, as well as the one before it, is rated T or PG-13 for some of the language and content.

Enjoy!

Chapter 14: Pillow Talk

After a long, active night and what felt like eight hours worth of sleep (it was hard to tell time in a time machine, after all), Rose stirred and opened her eyes. It took her a moment to realize that she was in the Doctor's room in the TARDIS, a place she had longed to be for fifteen years. She felt the Doctor's arms wrapped around her bare body. Slowly, she shoved her disheveled blonde hair out of her face and turned to face him. He yawned, opened his eyes, and smiled at her. His brown hair that spiked in all directions was even more messed up than it usually was. "Good morning," he softly said.

"Good morning," she said back.

"So last night was…wow..." he started to say.

"One of the best I've had in a long time," Rose finished his sentence.

"Me too," he said, grinning from ear to ear as he gently kissed her.

"We were always very good at that," she said.

"Obviously," he agreed. "There's a five-foot-tall reminder of that. You learned some new moves, Rose Tyler!"

"My assistant Mary gave me Sex for Dummies as a gag gift during a Dirty Santa one year at Torchwood," Rose answered as she kissed him again. "Oh, I've missed this. I've missed you."

"I've missed you too, Rose. So, so much. I haven't been as happy and as welcoming to people as I was when you were around. It ruined my friendship with Martha because she fancied me and I still wasn't over you. I never truly was."

"Neither was I. I tried dating a few times, but they were all idiots and short-term. I wanted someone to help me get over you and be a good father figure to Thalia. But no one could ever compare to you."

"There have been some dark times, Rose. But now with you and Thalia and Jenny here, I feel like there is some light in my life again. I never want to let any of you go ever again." Rose smiled and the two kissed again. "Speaking of the girls, what do you think they're up to right now?" the Doctor asked.

"Probably talking about how cute Captain Jack's butt is," Rose answered.

"You think it's cute?" the Doctor asked, shocked and offended.

"Oh, yeah." The Doctor frowned, pouting out his lower lip. "But nowhere near as cute as your butt," Rose finished.

"That's better," the Doctor said. He giggled and squealed as Rose grabbed his firm buttocks. They then started making out underneath the sheets. Rose then positioned herself on top of the Doctor.

"Oh wow, you really want this, Rose!" he exclaimed in between kisses.

…

Thalia slowly stirred in her mother's old bed on the TARDIS. She raised herself up and realized that her mother was not with her. She got up out of the bed and walked to the corridor. When she opened the door, she saw Jenny getting out of her room as well.

"Good morning!" Jenny greeted her sister.

"Good morning," Thalia replied. "You haven't seen my mum, have you?"

Jenny shook her head. "Nope." The girls then noticed the Doctor's belt and jacket on the floor and followed them to his room. They heard giggling, moaning, heavy breathing, and bed springs coiling and releasing. Jenny and Thalia then heard the voice of the TARDIS inside their heads.

"I think the TADIS just told me that I really don't want to know what's going on in there," Thalia said.

"I heard the same thing," Jenny said.

"Let's go see if this TARDIS has a kitchen so we can fix ourselves some breakfast," Thalia said.

"Ok," Jenny agreed as they headed down the corridor. "So what were they doing back there?" she asked.

"Well, for us humans…"

…

Martha stood in the kitchen, fixing herself a hot cup of coffee. She turned around to see Mickey standing there. She gasped in shock.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Martha. I didn't mean to scare you."

"That's fine. Would you like some coffee?"

"Sure, I'd love some." Martha turned around and started to fix another cup of coffee.

"So how does it feel being back in here?" she asked.

"Kind of strange. I don't think the TARDIS really liked me that much to begin with," Mickey answered.

"Yeah, I feel like she always wanted them together," Martha added.

Mickey got up and went to the pantry, where he found muffins, bananas, and cereal. Struggling to hold each of them, he asked Martha, "Which one do you want?"

Martha giggled at his awkwardness and answered, "A muffin, please." Mickey handed her a muffin, she handed him a cup of coffee. Unable to hold the cup and the bananas and the box of cereal, he dropped them all and spilled his cup.

"Oh my God, I am so sorry, Martha!" he said as he scrambled to pick everything up and clean up the spilt coffee with a towel.

"That's fine, Mickey." When Mickey finally cleaned everything up, he grabbed another muffin and sat back down at the table with Martha.

"So you're a doctor? A real one?" Mickey asked.

"Yeah. I work for UNIT."

"Well at least with everything else that's going on, I get to meet a doctor I actually like. And a pretty one at that," Mickey said. Martha turned away, smiling and blushing. Just then she noticed Jenny and Thalia walking toward them.

"Oh. Good morning, Jenny, Thalia," they said.

"Good morning."

"How did you girls sleep in here last night?" Mickey asked.

"Fine," they both answered.

"Are your parents up yet?" he asked.

"Oh, yes," Thalia emphatically answered. She and Jenny fixed themselves some cereal and sat down with Mickey and Martha. Just then, the Doctor and Rose lazily entered the kitchen hand in hand with large grins plastered on their faces. Rose was back in her pajamas from the night before and the Doctor was wearing a white T-shirt and red boxers hidden beneath a blue pinstriped robe and white fuzzy slippers.

"Good morning," they enthusiastically said, more so than any normal person in the morning would.

"Good morning," everyone replied.

"You guys look…like you got a very good night's sleep last night," Martha hesitantly said.

"The best in a long time," the Doctor answered. He placed his hands in his pocket and grabbed some bananas from the pantry.

"How did you sleep last night, Thalia?" Rose asked. "I'm sorry I left. I just wanted to talk to your father alone."

"Oh, it's fine. I understand. I slept fine. I think the TARDIS really agrees with me," Thalia answered.

"Good. I'm glad you like it here," Rose said. The Doctor passed out bananas to everyone. As he passed Rose's seat, he reached down and grabbed her behind. Rose loudly giggled in response. The Doctor giggled as well. Everyone else rolled their eyes and awkwardly looked away. Just then, Jack, Sarah Jane, and Donna entered the kitchen. When Jack saw the flustered looks on his friends' faces and their disheveled hair, he knew immediately what had happened between them.

"Good morning. I can see you guys had a great night," he suggestively said. "Why didn't you guys invite me?"

"Jack!" Rose shouted. "Not here, not in front of the kids," she said through gritted teeth.

"It's okay, Rose. Thalia explained it all to me," Jenny said. "You two were making some more babies." Thalia moaned in embarrassment, regretting explaining human sexuality to her sister, and placed her head down on her arms on the table.

Donna gasped. "Doctor! Rose! You guys can't do that! Not with these two on board!" she exclaimed, pointing to Jenny and Thalia.

"Look, Thalia, as you'll get older, you'll find that when two people care about each other very much..." Rose started to explain.

"Mum!" Thalia interrupted. "I'm okay with it. I'm glad that you two have found each other again. I really am. Just don't talk about…doing that so much."

"Understood," Rose nodded.

"So, since this is the most people I've had on board the TARDIS in a while, and since I haven't seen a lot of you in a long time, and since this is Jenny and Thalia's first time on the TARDIS, I was thinking we should all take a very special trip before going back home," the Doctor said.

Everyone nodded and said, "yes" in agreement.

"Doctor, as much as we would love that, Thalia's grounded for sneaking off to the arcade where she was taken from when I specifically told her not to go. It would really mean a lot to me if you backed me up on this," Rose said. Thalia hung her head in defeat and embarrassment.

"Then we'll stay on the ground on this trip," the Doctor piped back. Rose sighed, rolled her eyes, and giggled, knowing he had beat her on this one. "Rose, this is your first time back here in fifteen years. I want to take you and Thalia somewhere special. Don't you want to make our time here worthwhile too before you go back to your family in the parallel dimension?" he asked sweetly. Rose smiled and nodded.

"So where are we going?" Thalia asked.

"Somewhere legendary," the Doctor answered. "Now everyone finish breakfast and go get dressed. Everyone got up and headed back to their rooms. Jack approached the Doctor with a sly grin that begged for more information on the previous night. The Doctor grinned and mouthed "Five times," and held up his hand. Jack gave him a high five. The Doctor then took Rose's hand and the two giggled and strutted down the corridor.

"There are couples at my school that are less annoying than them," Thalia said to Jenny.

"We heard that!" the Doctor and Rose shouted.
