Right here's the filler chapter as promised, I thought that I would put it up before I went to bed, now this chapter is going to explain a bit about what's happening to Rose, with the dizzy spells and the feinting
The Doctor, Rose and Martha entered the Tardis and the later said "I meant what I said out there, Doctor" she said "I know what that means, even though I don't know much about them, and I've got to know, why didn't you two want me to get involved with the Daleks?"
"We're in deep enough with them as it is" answered Rose, just like she had done mere hours before in the theatre when she and the Doctor were trying to get her to go back to Hooverville. She looked at the Doctor, she could see him debating with himself internally probably trying to decide if he should tell Martha about the Daleks so she decided to help him "Doctor, it couldn't hurt to tell her, at least then she would know why we hate them so much, and I think you should tell the entire story so that she understands how bad they really are, I think you scared her last night with your willingness to sacrifice yourself."
"Alright, but lets find somewhere more comfortable to do it then" he led the two of them through the ship until he found a garden, which the Tardis had moved closer to the control room, as the Doctor had forgotten where it was, as the last time he had entered it was the day he proposed to Rose, and that was a lifetime ago, quite literally and now he couldn't remember where it had been located "Remember this room Rose?""Yeah" she turned to Martha "He proposed in this room, right over the other side though, I think the Tardis changed the layout of the room, so that he didn't tell that particular tale there, so sit down and tell us, cause even I don't know the entire story"
The Doctor took a deep breath and started to speak "I was in my fourth life when I took Sarah Jane Smith, remember her?" he asked Rose
"Yes, I remember being a right bitch towards her, but we got along in the end, and at first it was for you cause I knew that you wanted us to get along, but now I really like her"
"We can go and see her if you like"
"I'd like that yeah, but let's wait until the baby's born to do that, OK?"
"Right, lets get on with this" he said and the two women looked at him expectantly and both took his hands to help him start "OK, as I was saying" he said as he squeezed their hands in thanks "I took Sarah Jane to Skaro, I had thought that that particular planet was pretty safe, but then I met Davros and he showed me the Daleks, I was there at the beginning, the details are a bit fuzzy after that, but I saw the first people ever to be killed by the Daleks, after that I contemplated going back in time and stopping Davros from ever creating them, but I couldn't do that, especially not back then." he paused and Martha let go of his hand after giving it one last reassuring squeeze and he continued "Eventually the Time War began, it was hell, well you know what happened to finish it, but anyway, the Daleks left Skaro and began to go all over the universe, they mastered space travel really quickly, there are races out there that were almost decimated because of the Daleks, my people tried to stop them, President Romana even tried to negotiate with the Daleks, but in the end the only thing that we could do was destroy them, I was given that responsibility, I think Romana knew that what she was asking me to do would destroy Gallifrey but I did it anyway because it really was the final resort." he took a deep breath
"After the Time War ended I went to Earth tracking the Nestene Consciousness which was when I met Rose, after that I thought that the universe would be back to the way that it was, but it wasn't, on our fourth trip, I think it was, we went to Utah, North America in 2012 cause I was following a distress signal. The signal took us to a museum, but it wasn't just any museum, it contained alien artefacts and life forms, the vast majority of the artefacts were weapons that didn't work and almost all the specimens were dead, but one was still alive, it was a Dalek The Dalek was badly damaged from the Time War, it must have fallen through space as well as time, as that Dalek should have landed far into your future, the fifty first century to be exact, I was a completely different man back then and I tried to kill the Dalek in it's cell, but the owner of the museum stopped me, he discovered the I was an alien and tortured me, the Dalek got loose because, Rose had felt sorry for it and tried to comfort it as it died, but it used her genetic material to make itself strong again and it went on a rampage and killed everyone it the museum, in the end Rose's humanity came through and it couldn't kill her, or Mr Vanstattan, in the end I let it out of where it had been trapped, cause it was holding Rose hostage, that was the moment that I realised that I loved her, I just didn't tell her until after we had been to see Rose's Dad on the day that he died, you know why Rose is so scared of them and why I'm scared of them, but you don't know what happened next, just before we got married, we met a man called Captain Jack Harkness and then we went to Cardiff and met up with Rose's ex to pick up her passport, sorted out a problem and then went a few places and then we went to Kyoto in 1330 and we'd escaped, we were together and we were laughing and suddenly we were transported out of the ship and into different game shows, Jack was on a fashion programme where they literally change your appearance and it's worse than your time's makeover shows, Rose ended up in a future version of the Weakest Link, there was a robot Anne Robinson there, just like Jack had a Trinny and Suzanna robot with him. I ended up in Big Brother and I got out first and took one of the contestants with me, Jack got out on his own and he found me trying frantically to find Rose, I was worried about her, if you were killed when you were voted off Big Brother, then what was she in." he paused again
"Just as I found her, she lost on the Weakest Link and she was coming towards me and next thing there was a pile of dust on the floor where she had been and Jack, Lynda and I were arrested, but we escaped and went to the top floor and found the Tardis, Jack discovered that the disintegrator beam was in face a secondary transmat beam, so we followed the signal to find Rose, I wasn't prepared for what I found when we opened communications, Rose was surrounded by a lot of Daleks, there were over half a million Daleks, Jack and I took the Tardis and saved Rose from the Daleks and then I started to create a delta wave, only I knew that it wouldn't be influenced to kill only the Daleks in time, it would kill the entire human race, so I sent Rose home, but she came back, minutes later, she had taken the entire Time Vortex into her head, she destroyed the Daleks, brought Jack back from the dead so that he could help rebuild the Earth, but the power was killing her, so I took it into my self and put it into the Tardis again and then we went home, Rose ended the Time War in the year 200,100 and I thought that I had seen the last of the Daleks, but we hadn't."
"What happened?" asked Martha
"We went back to visit my mum and she told us about the Ghosts" said Rose, this time Rose was the one that needed comfort, the Doctor let go of her hand and wrapped his arms around her and held her "One of the Ghost shifts had started just after we arrived home and Mum had really scarred the Doctor for life, I gave mum a hug as I came in and while we were hugging, the Doctor tried to sneak past her as the last time she had seen him, she had hugged him, mum let go of me and grabbed him said 'oh no you don't' kissed him twice, then hugged him and kissed him again, sorry honey, but your face was absolutely priceless. Then mum told us that my granddad was coming over, I told the Doctor that mum had gone mad and he said 'tell me something I don't know' if mum had heard you, you would have been slapped"
"I know" said the Doctor "That's why I said it under my breath"
"Anyway there was a reason that I wanted to go home, I had had enough of the secrecy, I wanted to tell my mum about our marriage, I mean she didn't like the Doctor before, but she liked him then and I wanted her to know and I also wanted to tell the Doctor that I was pregnant, but of course that idea was dead in the water when the Doctor wanted to investigate the ghosts, we found out that they were the Cybermen from the parallel world that we had visited when my friend Mickey travelled with us, he stayed there to get rid of the threat from the Cybermen and well, I knew that they were from that world when Mickey appeared in the room that I was in, in TORCHWOOD, there was a void ship in there and it opened and four Daleks came out of it with a Dalek shaped thing, they called it the Chameleon arch, but in actual fact it was a Time Lord prison ship and it contained millions of Daleks, Mickey tripped and accidentally let them out, in the end the Doctor tried to send me to the parallel world, I went through and then came back, and the two of us sucked the Daleks and Cybermen into the void-"
"What's the void?" asked Martha
"It's what you would call Hell, there's nothing there, nothing at all, it's the gap in reality that keeps all the different universes apart, there's a universe that didn't have either one of us, we only exist in one reality it seems, the universe that we were talking about had everyone but the two of us, I think that this universe is the only one that Rose exists in, but, anyway that's not what we're talking about."
"And we trapped the Daleks and Cybermen in Hell and that's what Dalek Sec meant about escaping our slaughter, basically being trapped in the void would be a living death, as you would just exist, but you wouldn't be able to do anything. It is literally Hell, but I'd prefer the Daleks to be there than loose in the universe, they are the most deadly things in the universe, I'd prefer them gone, so that my child can grow up in a Dalek free universe and have a father, cause the Daleks are determined to kill the Doctor, you saw what happened earlier, in Hooverville, they were going to kill him. There's only one Dalek left in the universe and the next time we meet will be the last cause next time we'll get him"
"Yeah, we will, but I have a feeling it will be after the baby's born" he turned to Rose, "I saw you get dizzy earlier on and I promised you that if it happened again I would check you over. Martha, did that happen again after I left?"
"No, she got a bit dizzy in the lift though, she said it was probably the height that caused that one, she said the last time she felt like that was when she was hanging from a barrage balloon in 1941, what does that mean?"
"Oh, that was when she met Jack, we'll tell you about that later"
"What happened to him? I mean why didn't you go and pick him up?"
"He's in the 21st century, he's got stuff to do there now, he should be fixing Torchwood."
"Oh, can we go see him?"
"Let's wait until the baby's born"
"OK, I want to see him, but not yet"
"Come on, let's go"
The Doctor took Rose to the infirmary and Martha followed in case he needed her help and also so that she could learn how to use his alien medical instruments in case they ended up injured when they got to the infirmary Martha sat in a chair and the Doctor made Rose sit on one of the beds "Lie down, sweetheart"
Rose did as he asked, he got out a needle and went to put it in her arm and she said "Honey, I can sit up for this"
"No, cause there's other stuff I've got to do so just stay there"
"OK" she watched with a grimace as he put the needle in her arm, when he began to draw out the blood sample he needed she feinted "I knew that would happen"
"Has she ever done that before?" asked Martha
"Not at the sight of blood, what just happened is either the feinting stage of her pregnancy or it's the effect of the Time Vortex, wanna help me test the blood sample?" he added mischievously. The two of them set up the equipment needed to test the blood sample.
While they were doing this, Rose woke up, she never said anything to alert either her husband or her friend that she was awake, she just lay there and watched them work. She could see that the Doctor was in his element, explaining medical stuff to someone who wants to learn to use them and not to her whenever she needed to use them. After a half an hour the glasses came off and he turned to face her with a confused look, that turned to a smile when he saw that she was awake "What happened?"
"You feinted"
"So that's why you told me to lie down then?"
"Yep" he said popping the p as usual
"So what's the verdict?"
"Your DNA is changing, that's all that we know." said Martha after agreeing with the Doctor that she would tell her, cause she was good at explaining things to patients and at this moment that was exactly what Rose was. "Ok," she said, seeing Rose's confused look "Normally human cells replicate and they die every time one cell dies two new ones are made, eventually, because the cells are clones they eventually degrade, which causes aging, like recording on the same video tape over and over again, eventually the picture and sound quality degrade, it's exactly like that. Now in your case this isn't happening, every time a cell replicates, it does so perfectly, which has slowed down the aging process, but we need to wait to find out what the Time Vortex has done to your DNA and whatever is happening is happening slowly, your DNA sample that we got from the blood changed once in the whole time that it was tested and we'll wait a couple of weeks before we test it again, I want to know what's going on just as much as the Doctor does although I think that you want to know much more than the two of us because of the baby, whatever's happening to you is just happening to you as we compared that blood sample to one from before you became pregnant, your baby is safe don't worry, although as your DNA changes, so does the baby's, but it won't hurt the baby as you're what 4 months along now, the baby itself is still developing so changes in the maternal DNA will translate to the baby, understand?"
"Yeah, now I think I want a cup of tea, what about you two?"
"Love one" said the Doctor "Martha?"
"Yeah"
"Ok then, kitchen, come on" said the Doctor, he helped Rose off the bed and then led the way to the kitchen. Once there the Doctor set about making a cup of tea and Rose and Martha sat at the table.
"So" said Martha breaking the silence that had set in the moment they had entered the kitchen. "You know how I met the Doctor, so how did you meet him?"
"Like you it was at work" answered Rose "I was working at Hendricks's department store, this was the day that it was blown up. I was just about to leave when the security guard stopped me and sent me down to the basement to give the money for the lottery syndicate to the chief electrician, I couldn't find him, I searched everywhere. I ended up locked in a room full of shop window dummies that came to life, I was seconds from death when this man grabbed my hand and told me to run, we ran out of the shop he introduced himself to me as the Doctor and I told him my name and then followed his instruction to run for my life, when I got across the street the shop blew up. The next day he turned up at my flat called me a bone head and after saving me from a plastic arm, he swanned off. I followed him and he told me some stuff about himself and then he told me to go home, which I didn't do, in fact I went to Mickey's and researched him, spoke to a guy called Clive and then I went to lunch with Mickey, what I didn't realise was Mickey was plastic, so I met the Doctor again and that was when I discovered the Tardis, I had a similar reaction to yours, I went outside and walked around the Tardis, although I was in danger, but he still laughed at the expression on my face, we went across London to the eye and then we found the Nestene consciousness and I saved the world and the Doctor as well as getting Mickey out of where he was being kept and then the Doctor took the two of us into the Tardis and back to the alleyway that the Tardis had been earlier and then he asked me to travel with him and I said no."
"You said No?" asked Martha, "what made you change your mind?"
"He told me that he could travel in time as well"
Martha smiled at her and the Doctor set the freshly made cups of tea on the table and they drank whilst taking about the adventures that they had had together and eventually Martha decided to go to bed and the Doctor and Rose spent the rest of the night in the most earth like living room watching movies as neither of them were tired, when the second movie had finished the Doctor went to the control room to 'fix' the Tardis and Rose followed and sat on the captain's chair and watched him work.
Right that's this chapter, then next will be the start of the Lazarus Experiments. Remember I want you're suggestions for places for them to visit after the Lazarus Experiment.
