Jackie had got Rose's call and drove her to the hospital. Jackie hated seeing Rose like this, she knew what it was like first hand and she knew Rose couldn't do this by herself. Jackie constantly tried to get in touch with Pete and at The Doctor, but it kept going to voicemail, so she decided to leave numerous messages, hoping they would get them. Jackie would just keep trying to get in touch with them, she thought she'd leave it a while and she'd ring Ben to let him know what was happening and maybe having someone like Ben here would help Rose.

After telling Ben what was happening Jackie went back to the room where Rose was, she seemed to be Ok, but Jackie could tell she was panicking inside.

"Did you get through to him?" asked Rose sitting up.

Jackie lightly shook her head "Sorry love, no, I'll keep trying sweetheart, I rang Ben though, he's gonna come round now"

"OK" said Rose quietly, all she wanted was The Doctor.

"I'll get him love, I promise" said Jackie, seeing her upset.

Just as that moment Ben came running through the door

"Hey, sorry, I didn't mean to run in like that"

"Its ok" said Rose and gave a light chuckle at him.

Jackie began to walk towards the door "I'll keep trying Rose" she said and left the room

"So where's The Doctor? What's happened?" asked Ben

"He's in Cardiff, Mum's trying to get in touch with him"

"Cardiff? Why?"

"Something to do with Torchwood, he wouldn't have gone if it wasn't serious"

"So what he just left you?"

"He didn't leave me, he was helping Torchwood out" she explained when another contraction hit her and held Ben's hand for support.

"Okay?" asked Ben as it passed

"Yeah, sorry, by the end of this I'm gonna end up breaking your hand" joked Rose.

"Oh its fine, I'm tough, besides The Doctor'll be here soon wont he, then you can start crushing his hand"

"Yeah, I hope so"

"He will be here, I promise"

"He better be"

A few hours later, Rose's contractions were getting a lot more painful and closer together. Jackie had been trying to get in touch with The Doctor and Pete the whole time, she had stopped trying for a few minutes and went to get a cup of tea when her phone rang.

"About bloody time" said Jackie as she answered the phone.

"Jackie? What's happened? What's wrong?" asked The Doctor worriedly on the other line

"Do you not check your voicemail messages? God. It's Rose, she's in labour, you need to get here right now!" demanded Jackie, hoping he would get his skinny arse there quickly

"What?! Are you with her now?"

"No, Ben's with her" she said calmly

"What?! Ben?! Why is Ben with her?" he asked whilst explaining to Pete what was happening, he hated the fact that Ben was with her, he was the one that should be there, he was the one who wanted to be there, he knew he should have never gone to Cardiff.

"Don't be like that again! I've been trying to get in touch with you for the past few hours!"

"Be like what? I'm not being anything! In fact I think I am being very calm considering my fiancé is in labour with our child and another man if with her and I'm not even in the right country!" said The Doctor

"OK, calm down and put Pete on the phone" said Jackie calmly, he could see where The Doctor was coming from.

"Jacks?" said Pete

"Yeah, Pete it's me, you need to get him here right now!"She demanded

"OK, but how quick do we have to be there? How's Rose doing?"

"She's doing ok, but he really does need to here A.S.A.P, her contractions are getting close and painful!"

"OK, we'll get there soon, we'll try and get a car"

"Pete that'll take you hours! You need to get here now!"

"Well, we'll try and get a helicopter or something, but the best we can do for now is a car, but we can drive over the speed limits"

"Ok, well what are you waiting for?! Get in a bleedin' car and get here!"

"Ok, Ok, we've got a car now, we're on our way!" said Pete and hung up the phone.

Jackie sighed in relief and walked back to Rose's room to tell her The Doctor was on his way, all she hoped for now was that he's get there in time.

2 hours later Rose couldn't take much more of the pain, all she wanted was The Doctor here with her.

"Where is he Mum?" asked Rose to Jackie as Ben went to get something to eat.

"I don't know sweetheart, he'll be soon, I promise"

"I hope so, I need Mum" she said desperately as tears came down he face, just then the midwife came in to examine Rose.

"Hi Rose, how are you doing?"

"Y'know, been better"

"I bet, let's have a look then" said the midwife and examined her "Wow, you're 9cm, almost there, I'll come and check on you in about half an hour or so, then we can take you to the delivery room if you're there." She said and left the room.

"No, Mum, where is he?"

"I'll check and see where they are sweetheart" she said and began to call The Doctor and Pete, after one ring The Doctor answered straight away.

"Jackie? What is it? What's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong exactly, you just need to get here within the next half hour"

"Why the next half hour?"

"Rose is ready to deliver in the next half hour or so, she's 9cm, you need to get here NOW!"

"What?! OK, we're about 40 minutes away though, we'll get there Jackie, I promise, tell Rose I will be there!"

"OK, I'll tell her" said Jackie "Oh and Doctor?"

"Yeah?"

"She needs you"

"I know, and I am going to get there, no matter what" he said and hung up and told Pete everything.

"He's nearly here sweetheart" said Jackie stroking Rose's head.

"Thank god" said Rose in relief and Jackie just hoped he would be here in time.

Half an hour later the midwife came in to see whether Rose was ready to deliver.

"Well, it looks as if you're ready, in a few minutes you're going to become a Mum" said the midwife

"No" said Rose and turned to Jackie scared "No, I can't, not without him Mum, I need him"

"I know sweetheart, I know, he'll be in the next minute, you know what he's like" she said and looked at Rose, who was terrified.

Meanwhile, The Doctor and Pete pulled up outside the hospital, as soon as the car had just stopped, The Doctor ran outside and in to the hospital and looked for wherever he had to go

"Where is it? Where is it?" he whispered to himself and ran down a corridor hoping to find her somewhere, all he wanted was to help her. He just hoped he would get there in time, he couldn't stand the thought of Ben being with her, when she as giving birth to his baby. He needed to get there in time, but was he too late?

Oooooohh, will he get there in time?
