He Who Sins

Chapter Forty Nine: Nothing And No one

Rose jumped back as the alarms rang out in warning

'What is it? What's happening?' she cried out, the Doctor looked around and began to hit buttons on the screen

'I don't know' he muttered as he frantically tapped in codes and read print outs, the alarms flashed red as the bells continued to ring there was nothing Rose could do but stand and watch as the Doctor battled for his children. The Doctor ran over to the incubators and lifted the lids off them

'Doctor!' Rose cried out 'What are you doing?', as he threw one lid to the floor he turned around and winked at her

'Trust me'. He looked down at Lottie and began to un-tape the oxygen tube from her mouth, he carefully tugged on it so it slowly retracted out of her body, soon all that was remaining was the single tube that lead to her stomach. The Doctor nodded bravely and wrapped her tightly in a pink blanket, he picked up his tiny daughter and cradled her in his arms

'Come on sweetheart' he begged, knowing this was their last chance. Just as the Doctor was about to give up hope and as her tiny little face began to turn blue, she let out a cry. It was the loudest scream the Doctor had ever heard and his face lit up as he heard it

'She breathing!' he exclaimed 'She's breathing by herself!' he shouted out to the room grinning. He looked down at Lottie and finally her tiny eyelids flickered open, she squinted at the light and looked up into her father's eyes, they were the exact same shade of chocolaty brown. The Doctor beamed and pressed a kiss to her forehead

'That's my girl' he whispered as he turned and handed her to Rose. Rose cradled her against her chest, watching her tiny daughter as she looked around the room absorbing every detail of it, her tiny fingers reached out in wonder as she stared up at Rose. Rose let out a tiny laugh as she watched her daughter

'She's perfect' she whispered 'just perfect'. The Doctor smiled at her

'One down, one to go' he murmured as he turned to where Lilly lay. He slowly began to removed the tubes from her as well, and he cradled her in his hands as he spent the next sixty seconds of his life watching her – it was the worst wait of his life as her face began to turn blue and she showed no sign of breathing on her own.

'Rose…' the Doctor began with his voice cracking – but he was cut off by a cry that filled the room.

'Hear that?' Rose murmured to Lottie, 'that's your sister!' she exclaimed with a smile on her face. The Doctor beamed as he looked down into Lilly's eyes – they were that perfect shade of brown as well. He grinned and walked over to Rose, they sat down together, both of them enchanted by the beauty of their children

'Their so beautiful' Rose whispered

'Take after their mother' the Doctor murmured as he squeezed her hand. Rose grinned at him and rested her head on his shoulder.

'So it's all over?' she whispered, the Doctor nodded

'It's all over' he promised.

'Good' she whispered. 'So it's just you and me and the girls?' she asked. The Doctor shook his head as Tymon walked into the room

'I told him he could stay with us' he told Rose quietly, Tymon watched worriedly from the doorway as his fate became uncertain once again. Rose smiled and patted the sofa beside her – Tymon can and set next to her. Rose draped her arm over his shoulders

'So you wana come live with us huh?' she asked. Tymon nodded shyly up at her

'Good' she whispered. Tymon grinned at her and at the Doctor

'So I can stay?' he asked softly

'Of course you can' Rose told him. Tymon's face lit up in a smile as he looked at her

'So you wana be my parents? You wana look after me? You wana love me?' he asked in disbelief, almost afraid they would say no. Rose looked at the Doctor and nodded at him

'I'd be proud to call you my son' she told him with the voice of a loving mother. Tymon's face lit up as he settled down with his new family, this was easily the happiest day of his life. It was the happiest day of all their lives – they were a family, and nothing could break them apart. Nothing and no one.
