I am overwhelmed by the response this story has gotten. Thank you to all my readers and I appreciate the continued reviews.
Rose stared at him stunned for several minutes before wrapping her arms around him again, pulling him into a deep kiss. She kissed him passionately for several moments before finally pulling back and then hitting him.
"Ow, what was that for," He asked rubbing his arm.
"You stupid, stupid man. Do you realize what you have done?"
"I do."
"The other universe needs the Doctor."
"And they have him for a short time. He may not be able to regenerate and he may be a little more reckless but he will learn and Donna will help him." He told her and wrapped her in a hug. She relaxed her head against him. "Besides I don't want to have that lonely life anymore. I would rather spend one life here with you then have a thousand being lonely."
"But what about the stars." She asked her voice muffled against his chest.
"I have a piece of the Tardis and with Donna's idea, I could have a new Tardis grown in," He paused for a moment. "About five years. Blimey that is a long time."
"I am sure Dad can give you a job at Torchwood and you'll have to get a mortgage." She sang to him pulling away laughing.
"Well you two, I sorted it out while you have been standing here doing nothing. You're dad is sending a dirigible down." Jackie said. "I suppose you need somewhere to stay two being he just left us here again."
"Mom that's the Doctor."
"Don't be stupid."
"It's true. We switched clothes." He said happily as Jackie stared at him in disbelief.

That night as he lay in bed staring at the ceiling, he regretted his hasty decision to stay behind. He was restless and without the Tardis he was also stuck. Rose had gone to her room and had left him alone in the guest room. She had barely spoke to him since they had stood on the beach and she realized who he was. He heard his door open and he looked over to see Rose standing in the doorway. His eyes grew wide as he saw from the light shining in from the hallway she was wearing a short little black dress that he was pretty sure was see through. She closed the door behind her and crawled up onto his bed as she approached, he could smell the whiskey on her.
"I've missed you," She whispered softly and then nibbled on his earlobe.
"Rose," He said warningly. "Stop it."
"Didn't you miss me," She whined and moved to kiss his neck.
"Of course I did, but that isn't the point." He groaned as she ran her hand across his stomach. She moved her hand lower and he felt her hand on his groin but he grabbed her wrist and pulled it back up. "Rose I haven't been able to earn back your trust, since you have been gone. I am not going to lose it all again by taking advantage of you."
"You wouldn't be taking advantage of me if I want it." She giggled.
"You're drunk," He replied.
"No, I'm not," she whined and tried to kiss him but he turned his head away. She slapped his chest hard making him wince. "Fine, I guess it is only fun for you when people are watching and I'm not willing." She stood up and started to leave the room but he was still holding her wrist.
"Let go of me," She hissed at him.
"No, come here." He said softly.
"You lost your chance."
"I know but come here," He gently pulled her back onto the bed and tucked her under the blankets before he laid back down on top of them. He gently pushed her so she turned and faced away from him and he cuddled up behind her and pressed his body to hers.
She sighed and closed her eyes and within a few moments she was asleep. Not wanting to be there when she woke up, and have her assume the worse again, he dislodged himself from her and headed down to the kitchen. He saw an almost empty bottle of whiskey sitting on the counter and wondered how much of that she had drank tonight. He had a brief flashback of her stumbling into the control room to yell at him after everything had gone wrong. He held the bottle in his hands and considered taking a drink himself, before pouring it down the drain and throwing the bottle away.
