Rose got home from visiting Ben at the bar and dropped her keys on the table and hung her bag up as she entered the flat. She walked in to the living room to find no-one there, Rose could hear The Doctor and Jenny playing down the corridor, Rose walked towards the noise and found Jenny throwing bubbles at The Doctor as she had a bath. Rose stood there for a couple of minutes, not making a noise and simply stood there watching them.
"Hey" said The Doctor as he turned around to face Rose and smiled and Rose walked over to the bath and knelt down by him.
"Sorry I'm back so late, I went to see Ben, I just lost track of time, sorry, had lots to talk about"
"It's alright" said The Doctor and turned to Jenny "We've been having fun haven't we?" he said to Jenny who was splashing the water at the two of them.
"Aww, good" said Rose and watched as Jenny splashed about.
"I think it is time for someone to go to bed" said The Doctor and dried Jenny and Rose and The Doctor put her to bed.
The Doctor and Rose walked towards the living room and sat down to watch TV. "Do you want something to eat?" asked The Doctor as they sat down.
"Yeah, I'll go make something" said Rose and got up and walked towards the kitchen and started making some cheese on toast and started eating it.
"So, did you have fun with Ben today?"
"Yeah it was nice" said Rose in between eating "We had a nice chat"
"A chat?"
"Yeah, a chat" said Rose "It was nice"
"Well, that's good then"
"Yeah" said Rose and finished the cheese on toast and put the plate in the sink and washed it quickly and put it away. "Can we talk about something?" asked Rose, trying to approach The Doctor about it.
"Yeah, course, what is it?" asked The Doctor and leaned against the counter, listening to Rose carefully.
"It's about the whole having more babies"
"Yeah?" said The Doctor, edging Rose to continue
"Well, I just don't think this is the right time to have another baby"
"What? Why not?"
"I just don't think it's the right time for us to have a baby right now" explained Rose, watching The Doctor's reaction.
"But why?"
"I just want to wait till Jenny's a bit older and –"began Rose, but cut herself off.
"And what?"
"And, I just, I just don't want to miss more work because I'm pregnant, I cant miss any more work, they're so busy at the minute with case files etc" explained Rose and saw The Doctor sigh as he heard her say it.
"That's what it comes down to isn't it, you not wanting to miss work? It's always work!"
"Well, I'm sorry if I love my job! God, shoot me for loving it!"
"That's not funny Rose"
"It wasn't meant to be funny" said Rose
"Anyway, why do you want to wait though? Why when Jenny's older? Why not now?"
"Because if we wait till Jenny's a bit older, she'll be easier to handle and we won't end up having two small children to deal with"
"Jenny's nearly two, how long do you wanna wait? She's not that difficult at the age she's at, not compared to some kids"
"Just till she's say 4 or 5"
"So you want to wait 2 or 3 years?"
"Yes" whispered Rose looking down at the floor "Just till she's in school" she explained and her mobile began to ring.
"Rose don't answer it" said The Doctor, but of course she completely ignored him and answered it anyway.
"Hello?" said Rose as she answered it, on the other line was Jake.
"Hey Rose, I'm sorry to call you at this time, but could you come over? I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important"
"Jake hey, right now?"
"Oh, look work again, what a surprise" muttered The Doctor to himself.
"Yeah, now, sorry, there's someone here and we're in a lockdown, we need someone, I really am sorry"
"No, no, no, its fine, I'll be right there" said Rose and hung up the phone and turned to The Doctor "I've got to go" she said.
"Now?"
"Yes now, Jake needs my help"
"Fine, fine, you go. Go, go!" said The Doctor waving his hand in the air, symboling her to go "It's always work, that's what you care about now" he said and Rose ran out and quickly got a cab to the Torchwood tower. As soon as she got there she rang Jake to let him know.
"Hey Jake, I'm here now what do I do?" she asked as he answered the phone, Jake gave Rose several instructions to get them out of the lockdown. Rose followed all Jake's steps as he said them, and then there was success. "I've done it!" shouted Rose down the phone "I'll meet you on the 10th floor alright?"
"Yeah, alright, see you in a bit, but Rose, look out, there's still someone in the building"
"Will do" said Rose and set off to meet Jake. Rose quickly tan up the stairs and met Jake and their other co-worker Linda at the 10th floor and went up and hugged him "Hey" said Rose "You alright?"
"Yeah, thanks for coming, let's get out of here" said Jake and the three of them set off to the ground floor, the two of them were chatting as they left, not paying any attention to what was in front of them. Jake and Rose quickly stopped as they heard a gunshot from above, but neither of them registered on who had been hit. It soon became clear as Rose clutched her hand to her shirt, which quickly become covered in blood and she fell to the floor, quickly caught by Jake. Linda went up the stairs to catch the shooter and Jake held Rose in his arms and rang for an ambulance. "Come on Rose, hang on there" whispered Jake as soon as he hung up on the emergency services. Rose tried her hardest to keep her eyes open "Rose!" yelled Jake as she struggled to keep her eyes open and her breathing became shallow. "Hang on, please Rose, just hang on" said Jake, saying it over and over again as if it would make a difference; Jake placed his fingers on Rose's neck to check her pulse. It was slow. Way too slow. Jake just hoped she would make it until the ambulance got there.
