A/N: Oh this is getting exciting - i had to go have a shower before work and all I could think about was this story... I've got work in an hour so not sure if I'll get a chance to do another chapter - but I'll try
It's time
Rose opened her eyes and looked around her. She was lying on the sofa, Jackie was sleeping on the floor next to her and Mickey was sleeping on one of the office chairs.
Alex entered the room carrying four mugs and gave her a smile, "You're awake"
"How long have I been asleep?"
"Roughly twenty hours, you obviously needed it" he glanced at her tummy, "He's happy"
Rose nodded, "What time is it?"
"Seven in the morning"
Rose sat up alert, "But we've only got an hour!" Alex nodded and went to wake up Jackie and Mickey, "the bombs will be launched soon"
Mickey stared at Alex, "Why didn't you wake me earlier?!"
Alex shrugged; "You needed to rest" he passed everyone a mug of tea and joined Rose on the sofa, "We have a lot to do"
Mickey frowned, "Have you figured out a way to stop the nuclear missiles being launched?"
Alex shook his head, "Its too late for this world, your only hope for survival is to escape"
Mickey stood up, "and where should we go? Last I looked we got no space ship, no teleport device – there is no escape!"
Jackie placed her head in her hands, "We're going to die"
Rose stared at Alex, "You can save us?"
He nodded, "I can get you away from here but you need to prepare, the world you will travel to is not without trouble as you well know Rose"
"I don't understand"
"But you will, once you arrive in the other world everything will become clear"
Mickey shook his head, "You expect us to trust you"
Rose stood up and confronted Mickey, "I trust him, my baby trusts him and so far as I can see we don't really have a choice in the matter" Rose reached out for Mickey's hand, "Trust me Mickey, Alex will save us"
Mickey stared at Alex doubtfully, but shrugged in acceptance, "Ok, for Rose's sake I'll give you the benefit the doubt"
Alex smiled, "Right, we have an hour. Girls pack some food, enough for one day, me and Mickey are going to gather some other stuff be ready in fifty minutes"
Fifty minutes later they gathered in the main room, Mickey carried a backpack and the girls each carried a carrier bag. Alex passed Jackie and Rose a coat each, "You need to wrap up warm" he looked at the Jackie, Rose and Mickey, "Whatever happens you have to stick together, no looking back"
Mickey frowned, "You still haven't told us where we're going"
Alex looked at Rose, Rose smiled "We're going home Mickey"
"The Doctor said it was impossible, that it would cause too much damage"
"At 8:02am there will be a tear in the walls of space, you saw it Rose last night"
Mickey and Jackie stared at Rose, "That's going to happen?"
Alex nodded sadly, "It is happening, we can't stop it but we can use it to get you away from this world"
"But the Master, he has the Doctor!"
Alex took Rose's hands into his, "Calm down, your baby is getting upset. Trust me when I say this the Doctor will be fine he knows what he's doing" he gave Rose a hug and stepped back, "We need to go up to the surface"
Mickey gasped, "Your mad, we go up there we'll be toasted"
"It's the only way"
Mickey stared at Rose, "are you sure about this?"
Rose nodded as Alex approached Mickey, "They'll need you Mickey"
Rose pulled Alex away from Jackie and Mickey and stared at him, "Your not coming?"
He shook his head, "I have to stay"
"But you'll die!"
Alex shrugged, "I'm already dead Rose, the wolf is all that keeps me here. I was one of the members of the research team that looked over the alien wreckage in Kent. The alien's took my mind, but the wolf brought it back"
"Then come with us"
He shook his head, "I have to stay and seal the rift on this side in case the aliens find it and decide to come after you"
Rose closed her eyes sadly and he gathered her into his arms, "Don't worry about me Rose, you concentrate on looking after your baby," he took a step back and smiled, "You will make a wonderful mother"
Rose brushed a tear from her cheek as Alex sighed, "We need to go, we have 7 minutes"
Mickey glanced at Rose, but she ignored him and took her mothers hand, "Its time"
When they got to the surface Alex stepped away from them and smiled, "When the rift opens you won't have much time, don't think, just run through it"
Mickey frowned at Rose, "He's not coming with us?"
Rose shook her head and took Mickey's hand in hers.
"What's happening?" asked Jackie
Alex smiled, "Don't be scared, the wolf will protect you"
Alex closed his eyes and suddenly he was surrounded by a bright light, just as this happened Rose stared into the sky as a missile flew through the air. Jackie screamed. As the missile hit the ground Rose saw the rift open around Alex.
Rose felt something compel her to step forward into the rift and her mother and Mickey were forced to follow her.
Rose heard Alex in her mind before she fell into darkness Goodbye Rose Tyler, have a good life
