The Doctor and Rose had been engaged for a month now and so far they had told just Jackie and Pete. To The Doctor they were the most important people to know, of course they were, but in Rose's eyes there was just one more person who needed to be told. Ben. Rose wanted to tell him since the beginning, she just never had the courage to do it.

It was Saturday and Rose had thrown The Doctor out for the day just so she could invited Ben round for lunch and tell him. Of course The Doctor thought this was a stupid idea and Ben shouldn't know right away because they had agreed they would only tell family, but of course he had learnt now that he should never argue with a pregnant woman, because he would lose badly and she would get upset and start crying, or worse she would throw something heavy at him.

Rose heard a light knock on the door and ran towards it and opened to see Ben smiling at her.

"Hey!" said Ben

"Hey, you alright? Come in"

"Yeah, I'm good thanks and I even got you chocolates!" said Ben whilst he magically produced a box of chocolates from behind his back.

"Awww, thanks Ben, did you find this place ok then?"

Ben scoffed a little at this "Yes, of course I did, why wouldn't I?"

"Well, there was that time we went on the tube and you got lost because you couldn't figure it out" she teased, poking her tongue between her teeth to show she was just messing about.

"Yeah well, the tube is confusing ok?"

"No it's not, it's easy, you'r just simple minded"

"Thanks Rose" said Ben sarcastically.

"You're welcome, now what do you want ta eat?"

Rose put the dishes in to the sink and went back to the sofa with Ben.

"That was amazing!" said Ben

"Thanks, so how are things going with Hannah?"smiled Rose

"They're good, they're really good" said Ben with a genuine smile on his face.

"Good, I'm glad, especially since I got you together, I would feel really bad if it was a terrible relationship, it's be all my fault"

"Nah, it wouldn't, besides things are going great"

"Good then, I'm glad" said Rose, the two of them sat in silence for a minute or so.

"This place is real nice y'know"

"Yeah?"

"Yeah"

"Nicer than the old place?

"Yeah, I mean it's bigger, a lot more room and it's easier to get around."

"I guess it is, The Doctor wanted a bigger place for the baby"

"Yeah well, I can't imagine a baby in the old place, it'd be way too cramped"

"I know, but when I bought it I never really thought of that, I never thought of settling down, having kids" started Rose "Getting married" she said trying to get it in sneakily, hoping it would make things easier.

"What-what? Married?"

"Yeah, married"

"You and him and getting married?!"

"Yeah, Ben don't get mad, please"

"Mad? Why would I be mad? I mean it's-it's great." Said Ben, forcing himself to say it, but Rose could see he really wasn't ok.

"Ben-"she began but he cut her off

"I'm fine, honestly"

"Really?"

"Yeah, I mean it's just weird that's all"

"Weird?"

"Well not weird but – y'know what I mean"

"Yeah, I do"

"When did all this happen then?"

"Erm, well a couple weeks ago" lied Rose not wanting to say a month, he's be mad at her if she told him it was that long ago.

"Right, right"

"Yeah we just wanted to wait a bit until telling people"

"Right, so did he get down on one knee and everything?"

"Sort of. He kinda brought up the idea then proposed properly, down on one knee and everything"

"Sounds perfect"

"It was"

"I'm guessing that's the ring" said Ben whilst pointing at the ring on her left hand.

"Yeah"

"Listen, I'm gonna have ta go"

"Oh, OK then" said Rose looking down at the floor, she knew this would happen, as soon as she would mention it and they would start talking about it he would go, she could he wasn't taking all this very well though.

"Sorry Rose, listen how about I meet you on Wednesday?"

"Yeah, OK"

"I'll meet at the Torchwood Lobby at 1pm?"

"Yep, that'll be fine" said Rose and got up and as she got up she held her head

"What's up?" asked Ben concerned.

"Nothing, I'm fine, headache that's all" she lied, she had been feeling like this for the past couple days, she'd been getting headaches and feeling dizzy, she hadn't told The Doctor of course, he would blow everything way out of proportion.

"Really? You don't look so good" said Ben seeing right through her..

"Wow, thanks for the compliment"

"Sorry"

"It's alright" said Rose as she followed Ben to the door and opened it and walked outside the flat with him "So Wednesday?" she said to try and hide another flash of dizziness.

"Yeah Wednesday" said Ben and turned away to walk down the stairs.

"Ben –"said Rose calling after him.

"Yeah?" asked Ben as he turned around to face her.

Rose was just about to answer when her head suddenly felt fuzzy and dizzy, before she could reply Rose felt her body collapse to the floor and roll down the stairs.

Ben ran down the stairs to Rose's limp body, she was unconscious.

Ben pulled out his phone and dialled 999

"Hell, yeah can I have an ambulance please?" asked Ben panicking about what to do.
