A/N: This chapter was so much fun to write. I loved writing Rose and Jenny. This chapter took a different turn than what I was expecting but I really loved it and I hope you guys will enjoy it. This chapter is also a little longer, okay a lot longer, than my normal chapters but me nor my beta could find a good place to split it, it flowed so well. Thanks to everyone who has favorited, followed and reviewed this story. This story has grown far more than I had imagined. Seriously I love all of you! You guys are amazing.

Rose answered all of Jenny's questions except the ones about the parallel world and Jenny got frustrated with her about it. But Rose still wasn't able to face it yet. To many things, bad things, had happened there.
Which was why Rose was now pacing Torchwood. Being forced to remember was causing Rose's feet to itch. She wanted to run and get away but she couldn't do that anymore, not with Jenny and her team.
Rose sighed and glanced at the clock 7 am. Everyone would be getting up soon so Rose went and took a shower and changed clothes. She might as well look like she had gotten some sleep.
Jack was the first one up and as always meet Rose in her office with a cuppa.
"So how did last night go?" Jack asked as he slouched in the chair across from Rose's desk.
"Good. She is so curious and so full of life and adventure. So innocent and naive. She reminds me a lot of me when I first met the Doctor but she has more of the Doctor's brains." Rose smiled.
"It's good to see you so happy Rose. How soon till you leave?" Jack asked.
Rose shrugged. "Not sure."
Jack nodded.
"Well until then, you are on desk duty. I already took your manipulator and Jenny's. River explained to me what happened. I can't let you leave when there is someone out there with chemicals that can kill you in minutes Rose." Jack said as he stood up and crossed his arms. He waited for the argument that was sure to come but Rose just looked down at her desk in defeat and nodded.
"I figured as much and believe it or not I agree with you. Jenny is here now and despite what you all may think, I don't want to die, not anymore anyways. Jack, I don't even know what it was but it shouldn't have happened like that. I shouldn't have been easily taken out like that. It scares me." Rose spoke low and kept her eyes on the desk.
Jack was her closest and longest living friend but admitting she was scared took a lot for her to admit.
Jack got up and wrapped his arms around Rose. "I know. We will figure it out as soon as you get back to the Doctor. Come on let's go on one more trip, just you and me, a nice vacation planet, maybe Barcelona."
Rose looked up at him and narrowed her eyes a bit. "We have to be sure we come back within the hour. I don't need Jenny, thinking I left her." Rose said. "I am assuming you are driving, since someone hijacked my transport." Rose said as she stood up.
Jack laughed. "Of course sweetie." ******************************************************************************
Jack and Rose came back from Barcelona three days later for them anyways, for the others they were only gone for a couple of hours.
Almost as soon as they came back, there was news of a couple of weevils wreaking havoc on Cardiff.
Jenny had begged and begged to go but Rose told her it was too soon. Which lead to their first fight.
Jack had watched in amusement as the two most stubborn girls on the planet went head to head.
He, unfortunately, had to be the one to make the finally say and he sided with Rose. Jenny may had been born a soldier but she still needed training and she still had a lot to learn.
It wasn't till 3 weeks later that they had let Jenny go out in the field with them, she had trained hard with Rose day and night, and she had been a fast learner.
Rose watched as Jenny talked down her first alien and she practically shined with pride as the alien took Jenny's hand and walked to the car with her.
"Any idea what it is?" Jack asked once they were back at Torchwood.
Rose shrugged. "All I know is he is touch telepathic and he is very confused. Coming through the rift really messed with his mind."
Jack nodded. "What should we do? Do you think if he told you were he was from you could take him home?"
Rose nodded. "Yeah but that would require two things."
Jack raised an eyebrow in question.
"One, you have to give my manipulator back, just for this trip, and second i have to help straighten his mind."
Jack scrunched his forehead. "Can you do that? I know you are telepathic but are you strong enough to do that?"
Rose stood up and started to pace Jack's office. "I believe so yes. It will take some time to convince him to let me first and second it might take 10 minutes or it might take days, I'm not sure."
Jack nodded and stood up. "Let's get started then. Do you have an idea to get him to trust you?"
Rose turned and smiled her tongue and teeth grin. "Yep. Jenny has already befriended him and she is telepathic as well. Not as strong as me and she doesn't know how to use it. I haven't taught her yet. She knows she is telepathic, I told her when she got here, and I taught how to shield her mind but I can talk her through the small things it won't take long, most of it should come naturally after a couple of tries." Rose said.
Jack nodded and stepped around Rose to the door.
"Let's go then." Rose followed behind him and the walked up stairs to the hub where Jenny and the alien sat on the couch.
The man wasn't big, he stood only to Rose's chest and was as skinny as her. He wore black and grey robes with a purple collar and sash. He had a small, blue star in the center of his forehead and he was completely bald. He reminded Rose a lot of a monk.
Rose and Jack stepped forward slowly and watched as Jenny try to explain who they were.
"Jenny, remember what i told you about you being a telepathic?" Rose asked softly. Jenny nodded. "I need you to speak to him like that. I'll talk you through it, and we can practice together first. I need to fix his mind and the only way I can do that is if he trust me. He already trust you and considers you a friend."
Jenny's eyes lit up in excitement and she nodded her head rapidly.
Rose smiled and slowly walked closer.
"Okay, you're going to need to have him let go of you while we do this. I don't want to overwhelm him when we lower your shields." Rose sat beside them on the couch and waited patiently while Jenny tried to explain what was happening.
After a few minutes the man nodded. Jenny shifted to face Rose.
"Will it hurt?" Jenny asked as fear crept into her voice.
"No." Rose said softly. "You are naturally telepathic, born with it and both parents are telepathic so most of it should come natural after a few minutes but if it doesn't you are just going to have to be patient. I didn't have anyone to guide me and I'm not a born telepathic so it took me a couple of years before I understood it, but it should be much easier for you."
Jenny nodded and straightened her shoulders. "I trust you Mum."
Rose smiled brightly and leaned forward placing her fingers, gently on Jenny's temples.
"Okay, slowly let down your shields and remember if you don't want me to see something just imagine a door." Rose waited till Jenny's shields were down before continuing.
"Alright now, think of a place you feel safest. This is going to be your center point, basically it's going to be your control room. Got it?"
Jenny nodded.
"Alright, feel that nudge or knock?" Rose asked softly.
"Yes. Is that you? It seems so beautiful and familiar." Jenny said with awe.
Rose gave a smile laugh. "Yes, that's me. It should feel familiar, our bond has been there since you were born but until you learned how to control your mind and how to work it, I've kept it closed off."
Jenny's lip stuck out in a small pout. "Why didn't you teach me sooner? We could have had this all this time. Do you not want the bond? Did you not want me?"
Rose winced at the accusations and the panic she could feel raising in Jenny. Instead of answering out loud Rose projected her thoughts into Jenny's mind.
Jenny gasped as her mind filled with all of her Mums love for her, the surprise of finding out it could be possible to have her, the love and shock of seeing her for the first time, the pride in Jenny as she learned and most of all the desire to be Jenny's Mum.
I wanted to be your mum since i was given the choice. The only thing that held be back was the Doctor now knowing i would be a part of you. I blocked the bond because despite your age, you are still a child and still have so much to learn. I didn't want to overwhelm you.
Tears flowed freely down Jenny's face and the thought of hugging Rose crossed Jenny's mind.
No. If you move and it breaks the connection, it could hurt you. Now, push your thoughts to me, softly. Think of it like a ball that you're pushing. Too hard and it could break something, to light and it won't move. Go on give it a try. Rose spoke encouragingly to Jenny as she contrasted on her thought.
Hello. Rose winced slightly at the force but push the pride she felt towards Jenny.
Not bad. But try a little lighter this time.
Hello Mum. Rose beamed with pride.
That good. Now we will practice a bit more with shielding and hiding thoughts before you are done okay?
This is easy.
Rose laughed. We will see.
It was an hour later before they were completely done and Rose suggested they wait till tomorrow to try and fix the aliens mind.
"Can I try to talk to him tonight though?" Jenny asked excitedly.
"Sure but remember easy and gently. Send calming reassurances." Rose smiled as Jenny nodded excitedly and went to find where the man had gotten off to.
"She is just like you." Martha said from behind Rose. Rose nodded before turning around, a grim look on her face.
"I know and that is what worries me so much." Rose whispered before walking away.
Jack stepped up beside Martha and they watched as Rose left Torchwood.
"She knows she isn't supposed to leave by herself right?" Martha asked
Jack sighed and tugged at his hair. "She knows but right now i think she just needs to think. She loves Jenny and wouldn't trade her for the world but it's like you said Jenny is so much like Rose and the Doctor that it hurts her. I don't know how much Rose has told you about the other universe but she had to make some tough choices and sometimes those choice got people killed. She is worried Jenny will become one of her victims because Jenny is so willing to believe and do what we say but at the same time that girl is extremely stubborn just like Rose." Jack walked towards the door. "I'm going to follow Rose just to make sure she is safe."
Martha nodded and pulled out her phone. Donna needed to know Jenny lived though she knew the Doctor couldn't know.
Rose returned to Torchwood laughing with Jack at her side, an hour later. Jenny had gone to bed shortly after they left, she was exhausted just like Rose knew she would have been. It had taken Rose a long time to adjust to being telepathic and during the time she was learning how to use it, she would be worn out more than she had been with the Torchwood physical training.
Rose stayed up for a while checking the camera feeds and rift activity but eventually she started to make her way to bed. It had been a few days since she had slept and as badly as she needed it, she was not looking forward to the nightmares that would be sure to plague her night.
As Rose started down the hallway, she was stopped by the alien.
"Hello." Rose said quietly with a small wave.
The man didn't respond instead he grabbed Rose's hand tightly in his and knocked softly at her mental shields.
Rose gasped and had to fight herself not to push him away from her. She responded to his knocks by opening the door in her shields just enough for them to communicate.
I saw you help the one that looks like you. Can you do the same for me? The man spoke with such desperation that Rose felt her heart sink. He must be so confused and lost. He randomly appeared in another city on another planet, with his mind a jumbled mess.
Yes. If you will let me. Rose spoke softly and kneeled down so she could match the man's height.
The man eagerly nodded his head.
Right. Then let's get start. We should probably sit down. I'm not sure how long it will take. Rose guided them into her office and faced the two chairs, which normally sat on opposite walls, towards each other. She softly pressed her index fingers to his temples and slowly entered.
It wasn't long before she learned his name and the place where he was from. It took her less than 20 minutes to straighten Hedrick's mind.
Both Hedrick and Rose gasped when she pulled away and Rose swayed when she stood to grab two bottles of water from her desk drawer.
Rose plopped back down into her chair and gulped down half her water bottle.
Hedrick drank his slower and reached for Rose's hand.
Thank you. You must rest though.
Rose nodded but when she went to stand, she swayed again and fell into her chair.
Hedrick put his hand back on Rose's.
Shall I get help? Perhaps the one that looks most like you.
Rose could only nod as her vision blurred. She was totally exhausted, it had been a stupid idea to do that without at least a couple hours of sleep.
"MUM!" Jenny yelled as she entered the room and dropped to her knees beside Rose. Rose opened her eyes and tried to give her a smile to reassure her she was fine.
"What's wrong? What do you need?" Jenny asked frantically as she tried to dab the sweat that had pooled on Rose forehead.
"'m fine just exhausted. I help Hedrick." Rose whispered with a tight smile. Hedrick stood behind Rose with his hands folded together and his eyes scrunched in concern.
"Can you walk if I help you?" Jenny asked as she stood. Rose nodded but as Jenny helped her stand Rose touched Hedrick's hand.
I'm fine. Just tired. We will take you home when I wake. Hedrick's face visibly relaxed and he nodded then walked to the room he had been given.
After Jenny helped Rose to bed, Rose fell asleep in seconds but Jenny hesitated to leave. She knew physically her Mum was fine but Jenny knew about the nightmares sometimes she would catch glimpses, on the rare occasions Rose fell asleep before her, through their bond. She hadn't told anyone because she knew what they would say and she knew it would only add to her Mum's guilt.
Jenny stood in between the door and the bed contemplating what to do but Rose whimpered after a few minutes and Jenny made up her mind. She crawled into her bed beside Rose and gently pressed her index fingers to her temples, sending Rose calming thoughts. Rose stilled and fell back into a deep, restfully sleep and Jenny followed soon after.
Rose woke up 6 hours later, feeling fully rested and was surprised to still see Jenny sitting in a chair reading.
"Morning. What are you doing in here?" Rose asked as she sat up stretching as she did.
"I was worried so I stayed the night in here. I woke up about 3 hours ago." Jenny said smiling.
Rose looked at Jenny and smiled. "What do you say about a trip to craylona."
Jenny jumped from her chair, the book hitting the ground with a soft thud and looked at Rose hopefully. "Really? I can go with you to take Hedrick home?"
Rose nodded as her tongue in tooth smile fell into place.
Jenny squealed and dived towards the bed tackling Rose in a tight hug.
Rose laughed and hugged her daughter back just as tight.
"But, you have to listen to what I tell you. I know you can take care of yourself but if I tell you to leave, you leave and don't come back, no matter what." Rose said harshly as she pulled back looking her daughter in the eyes.
"But-" Jenny started. Rose shook her head.
"No. If you want to come with us then you have to promise me." Rose was gripping Jenny's shoulders tight enough to leave bruises.
"I don't want to lose you Mum. You can't ask me to do that. That's not fair." Jenny said pushing off her Mum's hands. Jenny got up from the bed and stood there with her arms cross.
Rose got off of the bed on the opposite side and moved around to stand in front of Jenny.
"I can't lose you and neither can your Dad. If something happens to me, you will at least have each other but if something happens to both of us, your Dad won't know how to go on and there will be no one there to hold his hand. I am not asking you to do this just for my sake Jenny." Rose said her voice gaining a small growl. Jenny's eyes widen in realization.
"Dad doesn't even know you are back Mum. If something happens to you how are we supposed to explain things? He needs you just as much as he needs me. I can help you." Jenny pleaded as she stepped closer to Rose.
Rose narrowed her eyes just a bit and another small growl left her lips. "Jenny I will not let you get yourself killed for me. I will send you home to your father before I let that happen. I have done just fine on my own."
Jenny shook her head and throw her arms up in defeat. "Fine. I will just go ask Jack's opinion on your condition to me traveling with you."
A small, smile spread across Rose's face as she crossed her arms and she stepped to the side. "Go ahead."
Jenny's step faltered as she saw the look of victory on her Mum's face but she straighten her back and held her head up as she walked out the door. There was no way Jack would agree, he often talked about how Rose shouldn't be left alone.
Jenny walked into Jack's office without knocking and startled Jack from a nap when the door bang harshly into the wall.
"Mum has a condition to me traveling with her to take Hedrick home, well it's really a condition to me traveling with her at all." Jenny said huffing.
"You come barging in here, scaring me half to death over a rule your Mum has made?" Jack said as he calmed his racing heart. "I forget how young you really are."
Jenny glared at him. "She wants me to promise that if she tells me to leave, I will stay away and not come back for her."
Jack's eyes lit up in humor. "And you think I am going to take your side." Jack said as he nodded his head in understanding. "Why are you so against her wanting to protect you?"
"Dad needs her, I need her. If I am there, I can help her and she will have a better chance of surviving but if she sends me away how am I supposed to make sure she comes home? I just got my Mum, I don't want to lose her again." Jenny said as tears started to spill over.
"Jenny, you are not Rose's Mum. You are not her protector. Rose will do everything she can to make it home in one piece, especially now. I agree with your mum on this one. If she says it's too dangerous for you then you should trust her. Your mum loves you a lot and she would give anything to make sure you are safe Jenny. Your mum has a better chance of surviving if she knows you are safe. So for now you should listen to her. But I also agree with you about you and the Doctor needing her. Do you remember when you first arrived, how shocked the rest of us were that she was laughing and smiling?" Jack asked softly as he leaned forward, his arms crossed and resting on his desk.
Jenny nodded. "You and Martha told me how rare it was. Said that mum hadn't been happy in a long time."
"Right, you helped heal your mum. Before you I wouldn't be able to say this without absolute certainty. Rose wants to live and she will come home at the end of the day. She has a lot to live for now. So follow her rules, besides she knows what she is doing and don't think that there aren't going to be rules with your dad because trust me there will be." Jack said sternly.
Jenny sighed in defeat and her shoulders slumped.
"Thank you Jack." Rose said softly from the doorway. She had walked up early into the conversation but decided to sit back, so she leaned against the doorframe her arms and ankles crossed as she wanted for Jack to finish.
"Welcome Rosie. I meant what I said though." Jack said pointing a finger at Rose.
Rose gave a nod in response and smiled reassuringly. "Alright Sweetheart. You ready to go take Hedrick home?"
Jenny's eyes lit back up as she practically vibrated in her spot. "YES!"
Rose laughed and walked over to Jack's desk. "Transport please." Rose said as she held her hand out waiting patiently.
"No trouble and straight there and back. No side trips." Jack said cocking one eyebrow up.
"Yes Mum." Rose groaned with a smile. Jenny laughed from behind them.
"I'm going to go get Hedrick." Jenny said as she bounced from the room.
"She is so stubborn." Rose said sighing as she took the vortex manipulator from Jack and adjusted it onto her wrist.
"She reminds me of you. Honestly you wouldn't/didn't listen to the Doctor's rules did you really believe she would?" Jack chuckled as he leaned back in the chair and kicked his feet up onto the desk.
Rose rolled her eyes at Jack. "I was kinda hoping she would the first time at least."
"She is yours and the Doctor's daughter." Jack said with a huff and rolled his eyes.
"MUM! LET'S GO!" Jenny yelled from the hub. Rose laughed but walked towards the door, she paused just before walking out and looked at Jack.
"If I have to send her back, she will come here first. I need you to contact the Doctor for her and send her to him but I need you to promise me you will remove the memories of me. I don't want either of them to hurt. The Doctor believes I am living my life in the other universe, alive and happy. Let him continue to think that and let her believe the same. I don't want either one of them to feel guilty." Rose said softly.
Jack looked up at her in alarm. "Rose. You can't be serious. You are her mum, she should know that you were there."
"Just promise me. This is what I want, my will if you want." Rose eyes were pleading with Jack.
"I can't Rose. I..what happens when she questions you or when she feels like she missed out? How are the Doctor or I supposed to explain things? I won't and can't make that promise. You just make sure you come home." Jack said standing up and walking to Rose.
Rose sighed and nodded. "See you later."
Hours later and they were running for their lives. Hedrick's home had been attacked and his daughter had been taken to be sold in a slave trade. Hedrick had explained that his wife had died a few months before he had disappeared and that left his daughter extremely vulnerable. There was group that would round up women and selling them as slaves just to make a hefty profit. Rose couldn't just leave without helping Hedrick find his daughter, so Jenny offered to go undercover and Rose had reluctantly agreed after not finding a way around it.
It had taken Jenny only 3 hours before she had been taken and another 3 hours for Rose to rescue her. They had managed to free all the girls including Hedrick's daughter but before they had left Rose discovered a room full of experiments with alien tech this planet shouldn't have.
Rose growled and stormed towards the office area in the building with Jenny following close behind. Jenny was in shock, she had only been there for a short time and she had seen so many horrific things. Rose had tried to calm her down but Jenny refused to acknowledge it and everytime Rose had said anything about sending her home, Jenny would scream and latch onto Rose arm tightly.
Rose slammed the door opened and watched as the man behind the desk drop his com in shock.
"I am assuming you were the one that released all my girls?" The man said darkly after composing himself.
Rose gave a manic smile. "I sure did and as much as I would like to end you, I am here to offer you a chance. Not sure I should but see I met this man once, fantastic, really he is and he taught me that everyone deserves a chance no matter how evil. You have been pretty bad mister, you have alien tech that is so very far from home, that you have no business having. I was just going to free the girls, and make sure your little operation was dismantled but then I found this room filled with all this, brilliant, dangerous and so far away from home tech. Chemicals you shouldn't have and science so beyond your little reach. Science was never my best subject, never got my A levels, but see accidents happen, mix the wrong chemicals or wire an inactive explosive wrong and you get a big bang. Though I never did get my A levels, I am still pretty brilliant, learned from the best, that man I was telling you about, like I said brilliant he is, and I sorta gained his love for making things explode. After a few tweaks on one of the machines you have and mixing a couple of chemicals you probably shouldn't mix, I created a bomb. It set to go off in about 3 minutes. Now my offer, run, run as fast as you possible can cause the big bad wolf is here to blow your house down."
The man gapped at her, the young girl had seen so innocent but as she ended her long speech, her eyes had harden and flecks of gold pass through them and the man shrank back into his chair.
"You wouldn't do that." The man stuttered.
Rose turned towards Jenny, gripped her hand tightly and slowly backed them towards the door. "Two minutes now. We really got to run. Fun meeting you." Rose smiled one more manic smile before turning out the door dragging Jenny with her.
They barely made it outside before Jenny had tripped. Rose didn't hesitate and threw herself over her daughter, protecting her from the heat of the blast and silently cursed under her breath, stupid man should have listened. Once the heat died down, Rose pulled Jenny up and dragged her towards the alleyway where Rose's bag was hidden.
Rose didn't want to carry it in fear of it being lost again so she and Jenny had hid it behind a trash can. Rose opened it quickly and pulled out her vortex manipulator typing the coordinates as she adjusted it back on her wrist then slammed their hands down on it, never seeing Donna Noble standing there staring at them.
Rose and Jenny groaned as they appeared back in the hub. Both of them bent over at the waist and hands on their knees.
"Seriously Mum for someone so brilliant, you would think you would come up with a way to make that thing nicer to travel with." Jenny muttered as she straighten up.
"Two people puts a damper on it. Sorry." Rose said as she rubbed Jenny's back apologetic. "Are you okay?"
Jenny nodded. "Yeah I just. I knew the universe wasn't full of good people but seeing those girls getting treated like and the horrible conditions, it shocked me and I got angry." Jenny said her eyes clouding a bit as she remembered the sights, looks, smells and the blood all the blood.
Rose nodded in agreement. "It doesn't get easier either but you learn how to deal with it. Now why don't you go get a shower and I catch up with Jack and the rest of the team."
Jenny nodded and eagerly bounded down the stairs.
Rose headed off in the opposite direction and walked towards Jack's office.
"Hello Jack." Rose said as she opened the door. Jack beamed his face splitting grin at her.
"You manage to get the landing right and come back in once piece. Amazing." Jack laughed as he held his hand out expectantly.
Rose rolled her eyes but undid the strap for her manipulator and tossed it to him.
"Seriously? I am a better driver then the Doctor." Rose said with a smile.
"Though I thought I said no trouble just to drop him off. But you are covered in dirt and soot and you smell like a sewer. Wanna explain?" Jack smiled letting Rose know that he wasn't mad.
"Hedrick had a daughter that was sold into a slave trade shortly after he disappeared. Jenny and I helped free her along with the other girls but there was a few secret experiments going on with tech they shouldn't have and I have picked up the Doctor's love for explosions." Rose said with a shrug.
Jack nodded. "You need to shower. Seriously Rosie, you stink."
Rose laughed but walked out the office and headed to her room.
A couple of days later Rose was sitting in her office finishing up some paperwork. It was, unfortunately apart of her desk duty and she hated every minute of it but things were quiet and Jenny wasn't around to keep her entertained.
River had come around the day they had come back from dropping Hedrick off and said she needed Jenny's help, Jenny of course had jumped eagerly at the chance to travel with River again. Rose had hesitated at first but knew her daughter would be fine. River would never risk Jenny's life and would follow by Rose's rules, the same rules that Jenny hated but now understood.
Rose groaned and hit her head on her desk as Jack opened the door. "How much longer am I stuck sitting behind a desk?" Rose mumbled without lifting her head.
Jack gave a soft, half hearted chuckle that had Rose lifting her head.
Rose quickly sobered at the harden look on Jack's face. "What is it? What's wrong?"
"Look outside, we have a problem." Jack said. Rose frowned at him but turned towards her computer and tapped quickly till she brought up the camera feed of the outside of the tower.
"What? But it's only 10 am. How? What?" Rose asked as she switched from feed to feed. She stopped and let out a long growl both mentally and out loud. Jack winched at the sound and stepped around the desk.
"What is it?" He asked as he moved.
"Daleks." Rose said as her top lip curled up in disgust.
Jack went to respond but paused as he caught sight of Rose's face. Her skin had paled and her eyes grew darker and the golden that was always present in them grew brighter. A howl sounded through his mind and Jack grabbed Rose's shoulder, spinning her to face him.
"Calm down Rosie." He said softly forcing his own angry and panic down till the golden subsided just a bit.
"They are outside of the Nobles home." Rose said her voice calmer than before. They had installed a camera near the Nobles home shortly after Donna became a full time companion. The families of the companions need protection just as much as the companions. The Doctor wasn't always able to prevent harm to them and they had learned that the hard way with Martha's family.
"We need to find the Doctor. Even with both of us, there is no way we can stop this." Jack said as he pulled Rose up. Rose nodded and slung her black leather jacket on and snatched up her bag. They ran to the hub and Jack went to the main computer while Rose went to the computer she had built, specifically to track the Doctor.
River and Jenny appeared in the hub then. Jenny rushed straight over to Rose and wrapping a hug around her, crying softly into her shoulder.
Rose looked up at River in question but wrapped her arms around Jenny. "What happened?" Jenny cried even harder so Rose turned to River.
"We were in a wrong timeline. The timeline was created around Donna Noble. She didn't turn left, causing her to never meet you or the Doctor, which caused both of you to die. Jenny witnessed them taking your bodies away." River said softly. "She knew it wasn't real but it was still tough."
Rose nodded her eyes narrowed. "Donna Noble seems to be getting into a lot of parallel worlds. You told me awhile back that she had one created around her when she met you."
River raised her eyebrows in confusion. "Did I?"
Rose eyes widen and a small smirk appeared on her face. "Spoilers."
River laughed. "I can see why everyone hates that word now." Rose laughed with her but an alarm sounding on her computer pulled her attention towards it.
Rose let go of Jenny, gently handing her off to River, before watching as several screens appeared. Jack rushed over and pushed Rose out of view as, Harriet, Sarah Jane, Martha (When did Martha go home?) appeared on the screen.
River answered Rose's silent question. "She went to Unit to help them with some project right after you guys got back from Hedrick's. Did you not notice she was gone sweetie?" River whispered smirking at Rose's guilty look. "Oh Sweetie. You are worse than himself sometimes."
Rose swatted River's arm before listening as they all discussed getting in contact with the Doctor. Jack had given Rose her bag back when he had walked into her office earlier and Rose typed coordinates in as she heard Harriet telling everyone her death would be worth it to find the Doctor.
"Right, yeah not happening, Jack give Jenny her manipulator back, I am going to save Harriet, someone contact the noble family, make sure they are alright. Martha Jones, I don't know why and frankly don't care to know why you thought it would be a good idea to work with Unit to make such a thing but you don't under any circumstances use it. I will be there in a few. Sarah Jane, lovely as ever, we have to have tea sometime when the world isn't ending. Bye." Rose said as she stepped into view of the camera she gave a wave and disappeared using her vortex manipulator.
Rose appeared behind Harriet and without any warning to the older lady, she wrapped her arms around her and they disappeared again, appearing in Sarah Jane's living room. Harriet spun around to face Rose, who was smiling a big grin.
"Sorry, not much time to talk. But yes I am alive, no I don't know where the Doctor is but we will find him, and please stay here and look after Luke. Sarah Jane would love you for it." Rose said as she ran up the stairs towards the attic. Harriet just nodded and stared wide eyed and mouth opened at Rose.
Sarah and Luke spun around when Rose entered and Sarah jumped up to wrap the girl in a hug. "Oh I thought you were dead. I saw your name on the list after the Cybermen and Daleks."
Rose laughed but pushed Sarah Jane's arms gently from around her. "Yes, well long story. I meant what I said about going for tea later. Harriet is down stairs, she is going to look after Luke. We need to go get Martha and find the Doctor."
Sarah nodded and rushed to hug Luke and kissed him goodbye before holding Rose hand and disappearing.
Martha jumped as Rose and Sarah landed in front of her and her mum.
Rose gave Martha a stern look before stepping away from Sarah Jane who moved to Martha's Mum side.
"What were you thinking?" Rose asked harshly. Martha swallowed hard and flinched at Rose's toned. She hadn't heard that tone directed at her in sometime and she forgot how truly frightening it was.
"The Doctor isn't always here and we needed a self-destruct button just in case someone wanted to use Earth. I don't want to destroy the Earth and everyone on it any more than anyone else but I will if it means saving the universe." Martha said trying to keep the fear out of her voice.
Rose's glare hardened and Martha took a step back. "Even if the Doctor was late or weren't here. I am and so is River and so is Jenny and so is Jack. We can protect the universe, without needing to sacrifice Earth and a billions of lives. Do you know how many fix points the use of that thing will destroy. The universe would be destroyed anyways at the size of the paradox." Rose was growling now and Martha looked down in shame. Sarah stepped forward and placed a calming hand on Rose.
"Martha had good intent but you can fuss later Rose. We need to get aboard the Daleks ship." Sarah said redirecting the focus.
"You two need to get aboard the ship. I can't be there. If the Daleks see me they won't hesitate to kill us. I will be no help. The Doctor is here now, the subnetwork worked, I can feel him and the Tardis. Go I will be at Torchwood, waiting with my team and hopefully my daughter if she hasn't decided to go chasing after her dad." Rose muttered before stepping away. Rose nodded to all of them and disappeared.
She reappeared in the hub and saw Owen, Gwen and River frozen in a time freeze and a Dalek standing on the platform. Rose growled and tugged sharply on her connection to the Tardis, pulling some of her energy and watched as the Dalek dissolved into gold dust before she collapsed onto the ground.
She woke up a short time later to River frantically pressing a cold cloth to her forehead. Rose swatted her away and sat up.
"What were you thinking?" River asked smacking Rose on her arm. "That could have killed you."
Rose nodded. "Yeah well. The bloody pepper pot needed to die." Rose stood up.
"So what happened?" She asked with a smile.
"The Doctor saved the day as usually. Your daughter decided to go check on the Nobles shortly after you left and she went to find her dad. I couldn't stop her, trust me I tried. The Earth is now back in its proper place and I believe I heard the Tardis land a short time ago. So Jack should be returning as well, bloody idiot went chasing after Jenny." River said rolling her eyes.
Rose nodded. "I swear they both are going to cause me to lose my mind."
River smiled brightly. "I need to get back to my husband. See you sweetie."
Rose hugged her tightly. "See you Melody." Rose rarely used that name and when she did it was usually when she was feeling rather happy. River's smile got wider and she disappeared just as the lift lowered into the room.
Rose turned around and her mouth dropped to the floor in shock, as Mickey Smith stood there with Martha, smiling away at her. "Hey Babe. Miss me?" Mickey asked cheerfully.
A/N: So what did you guys think? Like my little twist? Anyways, The library and Turn left episodes will be written as a series of one-shots (Thank you, my awesome beta for that idea.). I just could not find a place that either episode fit with the flow of this chapter. But I do promise to write them. Not sure when they will be up but it will be soon. Let me know what you guys think and review. Seriously, Im a review junkie.
Thanks again to the ones that have reviewed the past two chapters and as promised here are the responses.
Chapter 19 reviews:
Tscheby: I am just as excited to have the review coming up. Honestly I have been so giddy :). I really enjoy writing the past Doctor's and I hope I did the 9th justice. I loved him and felt like we did not get enough time with him. Hope you enjoyed these two chapters. So sorry for the late response.
Dreamcatcher56: I just couldn't help but add the Krop Tor reference. I loved that episode and the Doctor's declaration of belief in Rose and I totally could believe the Tardis would do that, other than just taking him to where he needs to go, I believe she is just a little too cheeky to let him get away with stuff. I have said this so many times to my fellow Whovian friends I love River but really dislike her relationship with the Doctor. Yes they are cute and she is fantastic but I just can't ship them. I've often thought that River and Rose would get along well if they met and have enjoyed the stories I have read where they are practically sisters. I am super happy you are enjoying my take on her. Thank you again for your amazing comments. Hope you enjoy these next chapters. Sorry again for the late response for this chapter.
Godric'sGrl01: Thank you! I enjoyed writing her part, it was lot of fun. Reunion is soon, so even more relationship development, very excited for that. Thanks for your awesome comments. Hope you enjoy these next chapters. Sorry for the late response for this chapter.

Dreamcatcher56: Thanks! I fought with how to get Rose to help with creating Jenny and it just wasn't Rose to just do it cause of the journal, she would need some reassurance and someone to push her and who better than River? I am glad you enjoyed it! Hope you enjoyed this chapter as well! Thanks again :)
Tscheby: Thanks! You are more than welcome. I love writing and this story has been a ton of fun even through the difficult parts. Hope you enjoyed this chapter. :)
KM Rune: I am glad you are enjoying it and happy to see someone new! Hope you stick around for the rest and please don't be shy to review. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. :)
Thanks guys! You guys are fantastic!
