Chapter 14 - Finally Together

Tony and Genie ran and jumped on the bed with Rose. Zeus barked beside of the bed.

"Rose! Mum has breakfast! She says you need to come downstairs!" Tony announced.

Genie smiled, "Yes! It's pancakes. Not banana pancakes like Daddy makes, but pancakes, Rose!"

Rose pulled the pillow over her head and rolled over.

Jack laughed as he stood in the doorway, "Maybe you should have started with this, guys!"

Rose leaned up and looked at Jack. "What are you on about?"

Jack handed her a cup of tea with a smile. "Just how you like it. According to your mummy."

Rose smiled and took the tea. "Thank you, Jack."

Tony turned to Jack and put his hands on his hips. "Hey, that did work!"

"The way to an English woman's heart is to meet her with a cup of tea in the morning. Well, a British man's heart, too for that matter." Jack said.

Genie rolled her eyes. "When is Daddy coming home, Rose? Have you spoken with him?"

Rose sipped her tea and looked at Genie. "Soon. Very soon."

Genie pointed at her in surprise. "You know when he's getting home!"

Jack smiled at her, "How does she do that?"

Rose looked at Jack and smiled, "The Doctor calls her his Master Integrator."

Genie waved them off. "Don't change the subject. You know. Tell me!"

Rose bit her lip. "He didn't say what time."

"What time! That means that it will be today!" Genie exclaimed.

Jack put his hands on his hips, "Now, how can you tell that, Genie?"

"If she had said he didn't say... that would have been a day. But what time means it's close. Where did he even go that he had to be gone for so long? Couldn't he just use his watch?" Genie asked them.

Jack shook his head, "His watch can only take him so far. He needed to go further."

Tony rubbed his head. "Further than Earth?"

Jack looked surprised, "Now, how do you figure that?"

Tony sat back on the bed. "Genie and I have been talking about it. He can pop us to this island. That's near Hawaii, halfway across the Earth. If he can do that far, he can pop anywhere in the world. It's a circle."

Jack ran his hand through his hair. "Oh, Rose. These two are too smart. I'm not saying anything else!"

Genie pointed at him, "But, we're not done talking about this!"

Jack smiled as he picked Genie up off the bed and sat her in the floor. "I'm done talking about this! You're going to get Rose and Uncle Jack into trouble with your Daddy. Nope! I'm not talking about this, Genie. Go eat breakfast."

Genie put her hands on her hips and looked angry. She pointed at Jack. "Something is dodgy about this entire thing. I'll figure it out. Come on, Tony!"

Tony jumped off of the bed and ran off after her. Zeus followed them, barking.

Jack sat on the side of Rose's bed and fell back, dramatically. "Those two are tough! Reminds me of two judges that sentenced me to death."

Rose sipped her tea and giggled at Jack. "You laying across my bed would really make 'you know who' cross."

Jack smiled, "Oh, please! When is he supposed to be back today?"

Rose smiled at Jack. "No, not him! Jake! When were you going to tell me that you two are together? How long has -"

Jack quickly smiled and clapped, "Wow! Not telling you how long-"

Rose held out her hand, "Not what I was asking! Oh my God!"

Jack laughed as he rubbed his face and continued to lay across the bed. "I can't tell you. I don't know. It just...sortof...well...don't know. It's an odd thing. He's not like someone I could usually go for."

Rose looked surprised, "You are particular?"

Jack looked insulted. "Yes! My God, what a question."

Rose teased him from behind her tea. "Says the man who has such a problem keeping his pants on that he has to wear both suspenders and a belt!"

Jack rolled over to look at Rose. He pointed forcefully at her. "That wasn't even you, Rose! That was the Doctor! That sounded just like him! That's weird! How long me, nothing, how long you two?"

Rose sipped her tea and smiled at Jack. "How long us two, what?"

He smiled, "Don't even play with me, Rose. You two were never like this. And married on top of it all? He's only been here... he told me a month!"

Rose nodded her head. "Well, yeah. A month and a half now, I think."

Jack propped his head up on his fist as he tossed his other hand in the air. "A month and a half? When did he make his move? Was it here?"

Rose blushed, "Oh, I know he wouldn't want me to tell you that!"

Jack rolled over on his back and looked at the ceiling. "I bet I can guess. It was here."

Rose smiled and looked surprised, "Good guess. How can you tell?"

Jack rubbed his chest. "He would have never told you how he felt before. What is the deal with this? He said you two have a marriage bond? You have an extended life span? All because of the Bad Wolf?"

Rose rubbed her hands against her mug. "I don't understand it all. That's what he says."

Jack rolled back to face her. "He did explain this marriage bond thing to you, right?"

Rose looked insulted, "Of course he did! What do you think?"

"If you die, Rose. He dies. You two are the same. Did he explain that?" Jack asked her seriously.

Rose nodded, "Yes. Or we go mad. He explained it."

Jack rubbed his face. "He told me once that if he dies, the stars will go out. Why? Do you know?"

Rose looked surprised, "Okay, he has never told me that. Is that even true?"

Jack shrugged his shoulders. "I have no idea."

Rose sipped her tea, deep in thought. "I've never heard that."

Jack pointed at her, "Find out and tell me why. I'm curious."

Rose laughed, "Ha! Like he would tell me that."

Jack rolled his neck at her, "Yeah, I forgot who we were talking about. So, how long before he made his move, Rose?"

Rose picked up her pillow and threw it at Jack.

Rose had gotten dressed and went down to the kitchen for breakfast. Genie and Tony sat at the table with Lewis, Sam and Poltoius. Jack was helping Jackie make pancakes.

Rose looked around the kitchen. "Where is Jake?"

Jack looked up at her, "Sleeping. He ended up having to go to Torchwood last night. Some...trouble. He didn't go into it."

Jackie smiled, "I've got you some more tea just here."

Rose nodded her head. She walked over to see that Jack was putting pancakes and bacon on a plate. He handed it to Rose. "For you, my dear." he said.

Jackie handed her the tea.

"Thank you." Rose smiled at them. She went over to the table and sat down next to Genie.

Jack made another plate and walked out of the room.

Tony asked him. "What! Jack! Where are you going?"

"I have to go wake up Jake! I'll be back in a minute." Jack told him as he left the room.

Jackie shook her head. "I suppose that answers that question."

Rose giggled, "Oh, I've had that question confirmed by both of them now. Yes, it is true."

Jackie drank her tea and smiled. "Oh, I knew it!"

Rose laughed under her breath as she continued to eat her pancakes.

"How was the premiere last night, Rose?" Jackie asked.

"It was fun. Thanks for letting us sleep late." Rose told her.

Jackie shrugged her shoulders and went back to her coffee. "I figured you lot needed a lay in. I know I did, and I wasn't even out all night."

"Out all night! Now, it's been a bit since that happened isn't it Jacks?" Pete said as he walked into the kitchen.

Tony jumped out of his chair and ran to meet his father. "Daddy!"

Genie was right behind him, "Grandfather!"

Pete sat down the suitcase and picked them both up in his arms and kissed them. "Hey, there!"

Jackie sat back and smiled. "So, you guys are home then?"

Pete sat the children down and walked over and kissed Jackie on the forehead. He looked at the kitchen table. "Yes, ma'am. Just got in. Oh, good! You are all here."

Rose met Pete and they kissed one another on the cheek. "Yes, we're all here. Are you by yourself?"

Genie looked out the door that Pete had walked through, "Where is my Daddy at?"

Pete pointed at her. "Genie. He'll be here in an hour. He's helping Shakes with something extremely important. He told me to tell you that he will come and take you and Rose back to your flat in London tonight. He says to pack your stuff up."

Tony pointed at himself. "What about me?"

"You are staying with me and your mum, young man. At least tonight. I've missed you and want to see you." Pete told him.

Tony smiled at Pete. "I'll go help Genie pack." They both ran out of the room with Zeus barking after them.

Then Pete turned to Rose and the Quauhtin sitting at the table. He dug around in his pocket and handed Lewis a small metal device as big as a cigarette lighter. "Here, Lewis. The Doctor asked me to give this to you. He said for you, Poltoius and Rose... as soon as possible. He said you would know how to use that."

Lewis looked at the device and looked surprised, "Wow! It's true then! He returned in it?"

Pete smiled, "It's a beauty!"

Jackie wasn't following. "What?"

Lewis wiped his mouth and took his empty plate to the sink with Poltoius. Lewis asked Rose, "Are you ready?"

Rose wiped her mouth and looked confused. "Sure. I suppose. What are we doing?"

Lewis smiled at her. "Come over here. Stand right here."

Rose stood between Poltoius and Lewis.

Poltoius looked over at Rose and took her hand. "This will feel... strange if you have never done it before. It is safe, though."

Rose's eyes got huge and she got excited.

They disappeared out of the kitchen.

Jackie tossed her hands up. "When you think life doesn't get any stranger."

XxxxxxxxXxxxxxx

Rose's eyes focused as she found herself in a small room. She was still holding Poltoius' hand. The Doctor was standing behind a control panel directly in front of her. He looked up and a smile overtook his face as he saw her.

Rose let go of Poltoius' hand and she ran to meet him. She jumped into his arms and he spun her around. He sat her down on her feet and looked at her. "I've held my breath for this moment for days. And now that it's finally here, you've taken my breath away."

Neither of them could stop smiling. He kissed her quickly. He grabbed both of her hands and smiled. "You will love this! Trust me."

Rose nodded. He let go of one of her hands as he brought her other hand up to his mouth and kissed it. She hugged him again as he held her with one hand. He smiled and shook Poltoius and Lewis' hands.

"Welcome aboard, gentlemen." the Doctor told them as he continued to hold Rose.

"Welcome home, Doctor." Lewis smiled at him.

Poltoius put his hands on his hips. "Where did Summus find her?"

The Doctor smiled. "It's a good story. Summus will fill you in. Follow me. Summus wanted to see you both as soon as possible."

The Doctor lead them all down the hallway. Rose hugged his arm as they walked. "I've imagined you on a ship for days. Seeing you on one is so odd."

The Doctor chuckled as he looked back at her. "Reminds you of old times, huh?"

Rose shook her head. "Nah, the TARDIS' hallways were a lot different. This looks, more... silver."

The Doctor laughed, "It's a lot newer than my TARDIS was. My TARDIS was older than me!"

Rose laughed as he lead them into the main control room. Summus was standing there. He turned and smiled at The Doctor and Rose. "Rose! Welcome aboard."

"Thank you, Shakes." Rose smiled.

Lewis looked around. "She's completely intact, Summus. Where ever did you find her?"

Shakes smiled, "Oh, that's not all we found. Men! Lewis. Your brother, Lance, has joined the Prime Guard."

Lance walked over and embraced his brother, Lewis. Both of the men were so excited to see one another.

Lance pointed at him as they looked at one another, "This Doctor tells me about a woman you are dating. Really?"

Lewis laughed, "Yes! She's amazing! I can't wait for you to meet her."

Rose looked at the Doctor. "This is great!"

Shakes looked at Poltoius. "We also found Legate."

Poltoius shook his head. "You mean you found his body."

Shakes shook his head, "No. Legate!"

A muscular, young man walked around the corner. "Father, what is this game you are playing?"

Poltoius threw his hands up and ran to embrace his son. "Legate!"

Everyone was crying with happiness. The Doctor looked over at Rose who was wiping tears from her eyes. He leaned over and kissed her head. He took her hand and lead her back into the hallway.

They continued to walk down the hallway. Rose shook her head and laughed. "I can't believe I got to see that. Lewis' brother? Poltoius' son?"

The Doctor looked at her and laughed. "They are great! We played cards on the way home. Don't ask me how much I lost. Summus says they are going to have one hell of a party to welcome the new guard tonight. So, I planned we would go back to London. Plus, we will be out of Pete and Jackie's hair."

The Doctor turned down one corridor, then another hallway and then down another hallway.

He looked over to her as they continued to walk. Rose giggled at him. "All of this looks the same. How do you know where you are going?"

He smiled at her, "Just let that be a mystery, Rose Tyler."

He finally got to a corner and stood in front of a door. He pressed the button beside the door and it slid open. Rose covered her mouth in surprise. "Oh wow. It's like on Star Trek!"

The Doctor rolled his eyes at her. "This is a Royal Cynosure Octantis, Type Seven. They have doors like that."

He held his hand out to invite her into the room. She walked in and the Doctor joined her. The door slid back shut.

He put his hands in his pockets and smiled at her as she looked around. "This is the room were Pete and I stayed on the way back. There is a bedroom over there, and one over on the other side. Summus has offered us use of this ship whenever we need it. This is now, our suite. Genie can sleep over there, and we can sleep over in the other room."

Rose waved her hand at him. "Wait a minute. We can't have Genie on a space ship!"

The Doctor shook his head in surprise. "Why not?"

Rose threw her arms up, "You know-"

Rose stopped talking and looked out the window of the room. She saw the surface of the moon.

She looked back at the Doctor. "Hang on. Are we on the moon?"

The Doctor looked at her as if she just dribbled on her shirt. "Well, I don't want Torchwood knowing I'm back yet. My phone will blow up with this huge ship this close to Earth! Space Traffic Control can't see it on this side. Welcome to the dark side of the moon, Rose. I've had that damn Pink Floyd song stuck in my head since we landed here."

"Won't they see it when the moon spins around towards the Earth?" Rose asked him.

He rolled his eyes at her. "Phhh...they really don't teach astronomy on Earth do they? There's a reason they call this the dark side of the moon, Rose! The moon doesn't rotate like the Earth does. Well...no, that's not true. It just does very slowly. So, Earth only sees one side of the moon. It takes nearly 28 days for it to go completely around."

Rose smiled and shook her head in disbelief. She sat down on the sofa. "Okay, I don't know where to even start."

He put his hands on his hips and looked at her. "I know where we should start. What's different?"

"What do you mean?" Rose asked him.

The Doctor looked at her, up and down. He shook his head and sat down next to her on the sofa. He took her hand and kissed it. "Something is different. You look different. What did you do?"

Rose rolled her eyes at him. "I have no idea what you are on about."

He rubbed his beard. "Fine, have your secrets, woman. I'll figure it out."

She held her hands out. "I didn't do anything! I don't know what you are talking about!"

"Your hair? Different make-up? It's something, Rose Tyler." he insisted.

Rose rubbed his chest and shook her head. "I don't know what you are on about. What sort of shirt is this?"

The looked down at the shirt he was wearing. It was similar to the oxfords that he wore all of the time, but it didn't have a collar. Instead of buttons, it had small latches. It was light blue and he had the sleeves rolled up on it.

"It's a shirt. Don't change the subject." he demanded.

Rose rolled her eyes at him, "You should talk. Genie in space? How much oxygen have you had, dear?"

He looked shocked. "How in the hell do you know that?"

She laughed at him, "Oh, it was just a guess. The look on your face!"

He shook his head and laughed at her. He leaned back on the sofa and rubbed his face. "I only raised it in here for Pete. It helps with his recovery."

Rose laughed, "Right. Sure it does. How high is it?"

He looked at her, "Nah, I turned it down. It was up to... phhhhhh... 30% -"

"30%!?" Rose asked him. "That's what? Three times more than you need?"

He smiled and rubbed the back of his neck, "Something like that. I forget. I was on the other side of the ship for a while last night. There wasn't any oxygen. It was really bad when I first came back and lay down."

Rose laughed at him. "You are so funny." She moved and sat in his lap, facing him. He smiled at her as he wrapped his hands around her bum.

"Did you lock that door? Can I properly welcome you home now?" Rose asked him.

He smiled like a loon. "Door Lock!" he shouted. The door clicked. "Oh, I love being back in space."

Rose unfastened his shirt and ran her hand down his bare chest. "I have about 7 million things to talk to you about."

The Doctor rubbed his face and nodded. "Me too. But I only have 43 minutes before I have to be back."

Rose looked surprised at him. "Back where?"

"Pete was supposed to tell Genie to give me another hour. Did he?"

Rose smiled, "Yes, he did. She's packing now."

Rose unbuttoned his jeans as she leaned down to kiss him. He ran his hands up into her shirt and felt her bare skin on her back.

He moaned under her kisses.

'Oh, Rose. I missed you so much.' he told her.

Rose stood up in front of him and took off her shirt and bra. She tossed them in the floor. He sat on the sofa, rubbing his beard and watched her. "Old Man. Come show me this bedroom."

He stood up and said something in a strange language to her.

Rose laughed at him, "Talking crazy again, love."

He looked surprised at her and shook his head. "What did I say?"

Rose took his hand and lead him over to the small bedroom. She pushed him onto the bed as she took off her shoes, jeans and knickers. She sat back down on his lap and kissed him again. She ran her hands through his hair, suddenly stopping and leaning back to look at his face.

"What? What did I do?" he asked her.

She ran her hand across his head. "I was looking for this cut you told me about."

He rubbed his head. "Yeah, it was here. I got that device to work, finally. It was...ummm... nevermind. I'll tell you later."

He grabbed the back of her head and pulled her back into their kiss. He rolled over and lay her in the pillows. He took off his shirt and tossed it. Rose already had unbuttoned his jeans and he returned to kissing her chest and neck as he kicked off his shoes and took off his jeans and pants.

Rose moaned under his touch. He moved his hand to her furry patch between her legs. She had groomed it and cut the hair short. He moaned as he felt it. 'I love it when you do that.'

She giggled, "It's all ready for you."

He leaned up and smiled at her. "Let me try it out then, love."

He moved down and licked her sensitive opening. He then raised up and smiled. "Hang on a bit! I know what we need!"

Rose looked curiously at him. He jumped out of the bed and chuckled, "Don't move. Less than 10 seconds..."

He stepped just outside of the bedroom door to a part of the wall that was intended. He held the button down and spoke something in a strange language. He was standing with his back to her, so she couldn't see what happened, but he suddenly returned to her carrying something.

"What is that?" Rose asked him as he sat it next to them on the bed. He climbed back on top of her and kissed her. She could taste something tart in his mouth.

He smiled at her. "It's like a fruit. Strawberries are unique to Earth, but this is similar." He fed her a piece of one. She bit it in half and he ate the other side of it.

"That tastes like a pineapple, but like a strawberry. How strange." Rose told him.

He kissed her lips and smiled, "Is it alright? Do you like it?"

She smiled at him. "Yes."

He smiled as he fed her another one. He took the other side of it and rubbed it all around her opening between her legs. She giggled at him as he said, "This is going to make you really tangy."

He rose up and chuckled as he ate the fruit he had just rubbed on her. Rose rolled her eyes, "You have it bad."

He spread her legs and began to lick all around her opening, running his tongue inside of her. She covered her face with her hands and moaned loudly. He took her clit in his teeth and nibbled it gently, then licked it. Rose panted out of control.

'Is this alright?' he asked her in her head.

She couldn't speak. She was so lost in her pleasure. He could sense that she was enjoying it and continued. Rose continued to pant and moan.

He raised up and smiled at her as he fed her another one of the fruits. He ate the other side of it and coughed a bit. He took his stiff member and slipped it inside of her. He rubbed her nose to hers, completely lost in her presence.

"Rose, I've missed you so much. Please, don't ever let me leave you again. I don't think I can survive it." he whispered to her.

Rose smiled at him. "I feel the same way. I was so miserable."

He kissed her quickly and rubbed his nose to hers, "I'm here, sweetheart. I'm not leaving again. I don't think my heart can take it." He kissed her neck and chest.

"Sweetheart, are you alright?" Rose asked him.

He raised up and smiled at her. "Yes. Completely. Everything is fine. I didn't mean to worry you."

He continued to stroke inside of her. Rose held him tightly as both of them moaned.

'Mess my hair up for me Rose. Please. It's been days.'

Rose smiled as she ran her hands through his hair. He moaned at her touch.

He continued to stroke inside of her, 'That dress was beautiful. I loved it, was it new?'

Rose smiled at him, "I got it that morning."

He raised up and whispered, "Stunning. Perfect for you."

Rose giggled, "Thank you."

He continued to kiss her neck as he stroked. "I'm not even going to complain about the heels. You know how I feel about that."

Rose rolled her eyes. "I knew you would be like that."

He smiled at her, "The husband goes out of town and the wife puts on heels. I saw it coming."

He kissed her lips quickly as he put his hand on her cheek and looked at her lips.

Rose smiled at him, "That dress demanded those heels."

He smiled at her, "I suppose it did. I trust you, Rose."

He begin to stroke slowly again and kiss her. She wrapped her legs around his back and moaned.

'I know you have to be high on the oxygen if you are this okay with that.' Rose teased him.

He laughed above her kisses. He rolled over so she could sit on top of him.

"What's the matter?" Rose asked him.

He smiled up at her. "Nothing. I couldn't see you."

Rose smiled down at him as she lifted her body and brought it down giving them the friction they both had craved for days.

He held her hips and bit his lip. "Oh man, how I've missed this."

Rose smiled down at him as she lay back down to kiss him. Rose looked at him seriously. "How much were you shielding me?"

"More than I care to admit. Seriously. Don't let me be apart from you that long. Are you alright?"

Rose shook her head, "I'm better now that you are back. I don't want to even think about when you were not here. "

He smiled at her. "Okay. I'm good with that. Let's not think about it. We're together again, Rose."

She leaned back down and kissed him, running her hands down his body.

'You smell so good. What is that?' Rose asked him in his head.

'Lavender. Quauhtin ships have lavender water in the showers.' He told her.

He smiled up at her, "I helped Summus with something on his ship. I can't believe this ship belongs to Summus. Wow! We can go on a proper honeymoon now, Rose!"

Rose laughed at him. "I don't think I've seen you this happy, ever!"

A voice came over a speaker. "Doctor. Sir. Sorry to bother you."

The Doctor groaned, "Ugh. Damn it." He raised up and pressed a button on the wall. "The Doctor here. What's up?" He kissed Rose quietly.

The voice spoke over the speaker again. "Doctor. Summus wanted to know if you were still onboard. He has been contacted by Jake and we finally have an explanation as to the trouble last-"

The Doctor quickly pressed the button on the wall. "Ahhhh! Tell Summus I'll get a full briefing from Jake when I return within the hour."

"Yes, sir!" the voice said.

Rose still sat on his waist, he was still inside of her. She ran her hands through his hair as he kissed her breasts and ran his hands up her back. "Care to tell me what that was about?"

He shook his head. "No, ma'am. You don't need to know."

She pressed him into her deeply. He groaned, "Oh, this is brilliant torture! What else do you want to know from me?"

Rose pushed him back into the pillows and whispered, "I heard something about you. Something I've never heard before."

He smiled at her, curiously. "Sweetheart, you will hear a lot of strange things about me. Don't believe any of it."

Rose rode him slowly, forcing him to moan again. She leaned down and whispered. "I heard something surprising."

He quickly sat up and cupped her face with his hands, "Don't believe it, Rose. You know what? We need music. Where is my phone at?"

Rose leaned over and got his jeans. She handed them to him. "I'm not even going to try to find it in those huge pockets."

He laughed as he took it and clicked a few things. "Jake has sent me 12 messages already?"

Rose laughed at him, "Welcome home!"

He turned on some music and lay the phone down in the bed next to them. He wrapped his arms around Rose and rolled on top of her.

"Sorry about that, love. Tell me, what did you hear? I'll tell you if it's true." He leaned down and rubbed his nose to hers, kissing her.

"Jack said-" Rose started.

"Oh, the gods! I'm worried now!" he smiled.

Rose smiled at him, "Jack said that if you died, the stars would go out. Is that true?"

The Doctor sighed and dropped his head. "Ugh. That damn man."

Rose put her hand on his cheek and turned his head. He looked down at her. "Is that true?"

He smiled at her. "I'm not planning on dying anytime soon. Don't worry about that, Rose."

Rose rolled her eyes at him. "Deflecting the question. I know you, Old Man."

He laughed at her. "Old Man doesn't want to talk about this right now. But, yes. It's true."

Rose looked surprised at him, "But, why?"

He ran his hand down her chest, playing with her nipples. "It's complicated. Well, and now there are two of me. It might not be true any longer. Don't worry about it, Rose. It's not important."

He looked around for his phone and pressed something. A different song started playing. Rose laughed, "I've missed your crazy music. Who is this, now?"

He smiled as he ran his hand down her cheek and looked in her eyes. "Shawn Lee's Ping Pong Orchestra. Seriously, not kidding. This song is called….ummmm… 'Kiss the Sky.' I love this music."

Rose laughed at him. "Ping Pong Orchestra? Where do you find this stuff?"

He smiled like a loon at her. "You like my crazy music! Don't lie woman."

Rose laughed.

"Who all went to the premiere?" he asked as he ran his hands up and down her body.

Rose smiled at him, "Me, Tony, Jack, Jake, Sam was in the shadows, Lewis and Tony's friend, Steve. And Tony's girlfriend, Pepper."

The Doctor pulled his head back in surprise. "Pepper? That's her name?"

Rose smiled, "It's short for something. I don't know what."

The Doctor looked confused. "Pepper. I've never heard of that name before. Wow. Strange."

Rose ran her hand down across his beard. "She is beautiful. She is ginger."

He smiled, "She's not you. I love you. You are the one I have ached for these past few days."

He ran his hand down her side to her hip.

She giggled at him as she took his length in her hand and stroked him in her hand. He moaned. "Oh, I missed this."

He rubbed her furry patch between her legs, massaging the outside lips then dipping his fingers inside of her. He kissed her neck as he whispered. "There is so much sweet candy there."

The song changed to Mastermind by Delron 3030.

'You listen to the craziest music.' Rose teased him.

He laughed, "Ha!" As he rolled her over in the bed.

Rose smiled as she leaned down to kiss him. She sat up and put him inside of her and drove him deeply inside. He quickly sat up, and cupped her breasts. He licked her lips and kissed her. He whispered, "Lip gloss. I can still taste it, Rose."

She smiled as he continued to kiss her and lick her lips.

'I've never had anyone do this to me. It's so….erotic. I love it.'

'What? Kissing you like this?' he asked her.

'Yes. Oh, I love it.'

He leaned back and smiled at her. "I love that you have had rotten lovers. It makes my job so much easier."

Rose rolled her eyes at him. "You are a mad man."

He laughed at her as he lay back and watched her slide up and down on his member. "Oh wow. We should do the thing!"

Rose pointed at him, "No!"

"These walls are soundproof, Rose. You can shout if you want to." He reasoned. "I can do us both. Two minutes. That's all I can probably stand. What do you say?"

Rose smiled at him. "Two minutes."

He rubbed his face as the song changed to 'Love Can Damage Your Health' by Telepopmusik.

"Let's hope this song isn't a foreshadowing!" he teased.

She rolled her eyes at him. "You and your crazy music. I'm ready. When you're ready."

He smiled and whispered a strange word. Rose felt herself become extremely sensitive in her entire body. Her hair felt as though it was standing on end. She rubbed her breasts and moaned as she rode him. He panted and put his hands on his face. He spoke in a strange language. Rose was lost in her own pleasure. She drove him deep into her and it made her lip quiver. She panted as she rocked back and forth on him.

He grabbed her thighs and called her name. He forced himself to rolled over and put a pillow under her bum. He turned himself to be perpendicular to her and thrust. The difference in the angle made both of them moan loudly.

"Another minute!" Rose moaned.

"Yep!" Was all he could manage as he continued to thrust at the odd angle. Rose covered her face and moaned. "Oh. Keep going. Oh wow. Great angle."

He whispered something as he collapsed and fell out of the bed.

Rose sat up quickly. "Oh my God! Are you alright?"

He lay in the floor laughing. "Too close to the side. Wow! This oxygen thing is a bit worse than I remember. Maybe that beer we were drinking earlier was from Plenitude. Geez."

Rose dropped her head and laughed at him. "You idiot. You are such a klutz!"

He rubbed his face. "Yeah. I really am." He lay on the floor and rubbed his chest. "Oh, that was amazing, Rose. Wow."

Rose wiped tears from her eyes. "Yeah, here, too. I've never….."

He looked at her. "Yeah, it's a strange angle. Not many people think to turn like that."

She rolled over on her stomach and laid her head on her hands as she looked at him lying in the floor. "I suppose you have done this so much you have to do something to keep it interesting."

He looked at her seriously, "So, not telling you that. Don't even try, woman."

She laughed at him. "Still, not going to tell me a number?"

"Nope!" He popped. "Believe me, Rose. It's not something you would want to know. You know, your Dad thought I took him to a Gentleman's Club while we were on Plenitude! That was hilarious! It was a restaurant where these….ummm… species that have clear wings. It makes clothing difficult. I didn't really notice until he said something about it, but the women there wore very little. They were very friendly. And he asked me just what the hell I was playing at."

Rose laughed at him. "Oh, that's great! I love you and Dad was able to spend some time together. Dad on a foreign planet must have been fun. For both of you."

He smiled as he lay in the floor and rubbed his chest. "Yeah, Summus and I gave him a hard time. Made him drink Fuzzys. Did you ever have those when we traveled?"

Rose shook her head. "I don't think so."

He smiled. "Oh, I'm not going to tell you about them then. I'm going to take you to Plenitude when we have to go back in a few months."

"A few months? What?" Rose asked him.

He stood up and rubbed his face. "Oh, the gods. 21% oxygen is kicking my ass." He climbed into the bed with Rose and pulled the duvet over them both.

She sat up and looked at him, "A few months?"

He nodded. "Yes. Pete has to return, but I'm also going to take some of my little machines I'm making and sell to the hospital there. I made that burn machine. I call it 'The Wanderer', after you."

He laughed at her.

She smiled, "You are mad. You did not call it that."

He shook his head, "Nah, I don't. That's a terrible name. I called it 'Burning Love'."

Rose shook her head. "That's worse."

He laughed, "Nah, I didn't call it that either. I honestly haven't named it. Can't figure out how to work your name into it. But, I'll work it out."

"Michelle said that Thomas loves his new job."

"Watch Traffic Control! I'm sure he's in bliss. Spying on people is his favorite thing!" the Doctor smiled.

"That was brilliant. That and Space Traffic Control. Why haven't we done that before?" Rose asked him.

He kissed her hand and looked at her. "On Gallifrey, we had a Space Traffic Control in the Panopticon complex. A Time Lord named Rodan was in charge. He said it was like being a glorified security guard. He had to keep the planetary defenses up at all times. Rasillon had made those, years ago."

"Rasillon. You've mentioned him before. Who is that?" Rose asked him.

"He was like the President. The one in charge of everything. Not like Harriet and Howie, though. He could make rules about how many hearts you would have when you regenerated, how your nanogenes worked in your body, things like that. When I say he was in charge of everything….I mean everything. Even here, his rules still apply."

The Doctor ran his hand on the bed and turned off the music that played quietly. "We should go back. I promised Genie. She's already very anxious for my return." He rubbed Rose's back as he spoke to her.

"Are we going to talk about Genie in space?" Rose asked him.

He looked at her. "Of course we will."

Rose pressed her head into his forehead. "Well..."

He rubbed his beard. "I don't know how I'll do it, but I've got to tell her. She's far too clever for me to keep some of this stuff from her. I want to wait as long as I can, but I worry she will feel that I've lied to her."

Rose rubbed his beard and smiled, "I understand. Are we talking about you telling her about you, or her?"

He shook his head. "I haven't decided. I can't keep it from her forever. Especially, if I want to take you two out into space. I'm sure that will come up."

Rose kissed him on the end of his nose. "I don't think it's a good idea. She's not even five, yet."

He rubbed his head and groaned, "Yes, very true. But she's just too clever. I need to tell her before she figures it out on her own. Or someone else tells her. Summus already worked it out." He rubbed his eyes and sighed.

Rose smiled at him. "How is your sea sickness?"

He rubbed his face and looked curiously at her. "Sea sickness?"

Rose explained, "You said that Plentitude spun slower than Earth."

"Oh! Yeah, I did. The moon almost feels like it is completely still. It spins so slowly. It's helping. When I get back to Earth, I'm going to feel like I'm getting on a merry go round for a bit." He told her.

Rose giggled at him, "I find that so strange."

He laughed and kissed her on the top of the head. "No one has asked me stuff like this, Rose. I'm so glad I told you about that."

Rose curled up on his chest. "I've missed this. I wish we could lay here all day."

"You are exhausted. I can't believe you have put up with me this long. Let's do this. I'll send you back to our flat in London with some of the Quauhtin. You go to bed and sleep. I'll go get Genie and figure out what Jake's problem is, then come home. Alright?"

"Are you taking Genie to Torchwood?" Rose asked him.

"Yeah, it's just a simple thing. Probably will never leave my office. If I know her, she's not going to let me pop in, say hi and leave. She's going to need Daddy to hold her for hours."

Rose rolled over on his chest and smiled. "At some point...I need to talk to you about something. But, not now."

He sighed and lay his head back. "Why do you do this to me? Just tell me now!"

Rose smiled and shook her head. "No, it needs to wait. Trust me."

He smiled and kissed her quickly. "I do trust you, Rose. If it needs to wait, that's alright. Tell me when you are ready."

Rose yawned, "I'm so glad you are back. Gosh, I'm really tired. I really just realized it."

He rubbed her back. "We can lay here for just a few more minutes, then we need to get up. Time is against the Time Lord's wife at the moment."

Rose giggled as he laughed. "Thank you for bringing me up here. This ship is amazing. It was great to have some time with just you."

He continued to rub her back, "Sure, sweetheart. I knew it would be something you would enjoy seeing."

Rose rubbed her face, "And Lewis and Polotius. Wow! I can't imagine how happy they are! Polotius thought his son was dead. Did Lewis know that his brother was alive?"

The Doctor shook his head. "I'm not sure."

Rose lay back on his chest as he continued to rub her back. "Wow. Having a brother you think has died return to you. That would be amazing. I'm so happy for those guys."

Rose could feel the Doctor's pain. She rose up and looked at him. "I felt that. You have a brother?"

He looked at her and rubbed his face. "No. Not anymore."

"But you did. I felt that. Was he older or younger?" Rose asked him.

The Doctor laid his arm on his head and sighed. "How do you get this stuff out of me? I don't tell anyone these things."

"I know you don't want to talk about-"

"Older! Three years older. His name wasn't hidden, but I don't want to speak it. The last of my family. Me, him and Susan. That's all that was left. That's all I want to say."

Rose kissed him. He held her cheek. "I didn't mean to pry. I should have stopped before you-"

"No. It's okay. I wouldn't have told you if I didn't want you to know. That won't blow a hole in the universe."

Rose smiled at him. "Did he look like you?"

He smiled, "Sometimes."

Rose laughed, "Yeah, I guess that's right."
