He found Rose alone in the living room. He thought this would be the best time to have that chat him and Jack were just talking about. 'Err Rose may I talk to you?'
Rose turned round to see the Doctor standing in the doorway.
'Yes of course what about?' she replied. Rose stood up and walked towards him. She was so beautiful, that's all he could think about. How was he to tell her that they could only be together if she came with him? God he sounded so selfish but that was his life and if he stopped the world would collapse in total destruction. He was the plug in the bath so to speak. If he was to be pulled out all the water would wash away. Rose took a hold of both of his hands. 'Doctor, is everything all right?'
'Oh Rose.' He smiled at her and she returned the gesture. 'I… er… I love you.' He sighed he couldn't tell her. She looked so amazing and happy he couldn't let her feel what he felt at the moment. Sorrow. He had realized he must leave them. He had no choice, Mich and Rose would eventually be hurt or worse. He couldn't let that happen never no matter how much he loved them both. They were better off without him.
Rose smiled at his comment.
'I love you too.' She replied. She rose onto her tiptoes to kiss him.
'Rose. Doctor. You two!' Jackie interrupted walking into the living room; Rose moved away from the Doctor and let her head fall. 'Always interruptions' Rose thought. 'Rose?'
'Yes mother.' She answered her head snapping up to look at her mother.
'We need to get these decorations up for tomorrow, come on chop chop. We don't have all night. Come on Doctor you're taller than us both. Help me put up this banner.' Ordered Jackie holding a banner which had the words 'happy birthday' printed on it. The Doctor sighed and moved to help her.
'Where's Mickey he should be helping?' asked Rose with no answer from either the Doctor or her mother she sighed and then huffed like a teenager. 'I'll go get him.' Rose made her way out of the living room. The Doctors gaze never left her.
She walked out into the garden in search of Mickey. She spotted him and Martha on one of the garden benches, they were talking. She would have interrupted them but she noticed there hands were clasped together. She watched Mickey carefully, as he spoke to Martha like he used to speak to her, with love in his eyes and feeling. She gazed eagerly. Mickey lent further into Martha and there lips connected. Rose gasped. They shared a very passionate kiss. Rose smiled to herself, she was happy that he had finally found someone. Someone new and not her.
'Rose!' She jumped out of her daydream and turned round to be met face to face with her mother. 'What are you doing? I thought you were getting Mickey.'
'Well I was but I didn't want to interrupt.' She said pointing to Mickey and Martha.
'Oh for goodness sake, really we do not have time for this.' Jackie huffed. 'Mickey! Martha!' Jackie shouted, the pair jumped to see Jackie hurtling towards them. Mickey looked positively terrified. Rose began to giggle to herself.
'He looks scared.' Jack commented walking up behind Rose and putting his arm around her.
'Yeh he does.' She laughed.
'Come on.' Jack tugged at her. 'Your mother left the Doc in a sticky situation with some rather girly streamers. Honestly, he's fought Daleks and Cybermen. You would have thought he could at least decorate a house without to much problem.' Jack and Rose laughed together as they walked into the house.
'Well he is the Doctor'. Rose said. 'And what does he always say?'
'I don't do domestic.' Rose and Jack mocked the Doctor, they broke down in laughter. Walking into the living room to the vision of The Doctor and a load of pink and purple curly streamers tangled up around him made them collapse again in fits of laughter. The Doctor stared at them he was not amused.
