Chapter 26 - Lollipops

The Doctor returned to the football game and played with the rest of everyone for a while. Genie ended up joining the game briefly. The Doctor guarded her from the other players who were playfully threatening her as she moved the ball to the goal. She kicked it in easily and the team cheered for her as her Daddy lifted her up on his shoulders and ran around the field.

Pete laughed at them. He walked to the edge of the pitch and motioned for The Doctor to bring her to him. "Come over here with your Grandfather, Genie. Your Daddy is a mad man."

Genie was still laughing as Pete held her. "Hi there, Michelle!"

Michelle had just arrived, "Hello there, Miss Genie. How are you today?"

Genie smiled, "Fantastic! Did you see the goal I scored?"

Michelle nodded her head. "I did! Well done!"

The Doctor kissed Genie's cheek quickly, "We're going to turn her into a footballer!"

Genie looked at him and shook her head. "No you're not, Daddy."

They all laughed at her. Michelle handed the Doctor a manila envelope. "As you requested."

He took it, "Brilliant! Thank you!"

She smiled, "Boys been good?"

The Doctor rolled his eyes at her. "Your boys are always good. That's never in question. I think they had a good time."

Genie smiled, "They are nice! I like them!"

Michelle looked proudly. "Well, I know everything is alright, then."

The Doctor smiled. "That designer is due here in a bit. I better go make sure Rose is ready for them. Excuse me."

He walked into the house and flipped off his shoes again in the kitchen. He walked upstairs and quietly slipped into the bedroom where Rose slept. He quickly jumped into the shower and washed himself off. Then he got out of the shower, he put on his pants and jeans. He was standing in the bathroom, shaping his beard when he heard Rose in his head.

'You smell so good. I can smell you all the way out here.' She told him.

"It's not too strong is it?" he asked her.

'No. It's very nice.' Rose told him.

He wiped his face off and put on aftershave. He ran his hand through his wet hair and walked into the bedroom. He sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at Rose. He couldn't help the smile that spread across his face.

Rose smiled at him and opened her eyes. "Hey."

He smiled back at her and whispered through a smile. "You are so beautiful. I could watch you sleep all day."

Rose smiled as she rubbed her face. "What time is it?"

"You've been asleep for an hour and forty-eight minutes." He told her.

She rolled her eyes back, "That's just weird."

He looked surprised, "What is?"

"No one tells someone the time, exactly."

"Oh. Right. That's true. Okay, you've been asleep nearly two hours. Better?"

She sat up and nodded her head. "Yes. That's better."

"See. Time Lord is learning. Strange little things like that." He told her.

"You never did that before. I would have remembered it. You've only done that since you have been here."

He rubbed his beard and smiled. "I bet it's the TARDIS'. She was translating so much. Now, I have to do it all on my own. I didn't realize how much she was in my head."

Rose kissed him quickly. "Now, I'm all in your head. Scary."

He laughed quietly at her.

She looked at him, "You're all clean. Is football over?"

He nodded his head. "For me it is! I'm done. I don't think I can run one more meter. I felt as if I was carrying the entire pitch on my skin. Oh, I was gross. I can tell you are feeling better."

Rose ran her hand across his bare chest. "You are so tan. I've never seen you this dark."

He smiled as he looked down at his chest. "Yeah, I think I've only been this dark once before. It wasn't this body, either. I was on a planet where I walked around in the nude." He teased her.

"Phhh…..I doubt that. You won't even walk around in the nude around me." Rose complained.

He blushed and ran his hand through his hair. "You first."

Rose giggled as she sat up and kissed him. "Thank you for saving me earlier. I didn't want to bother you."

He held her. "Sweetheart, I know you've been blocking me sensing so much of this. Don't worry about me. I'm here for you."

Rose shook her head. "Oh, my gosh I was so sick. And when you were gone… it was terrible. I knew you would be upset if you knew."

He nodded his head, "Yeah, you're probably right. But, I'm home now. Don't block me from this. I would have never had annoyed you so much when I first got home had I known."

Rose pointed at him, "See, and that's what I didn't want. You didn't annoy me. I don't want you to think I'm this little, fragile woman for the next few months. I can already see it. You dropping everything and running because I'm sick."

He rubbed his face. "You make a good point."

"I'm just pregnant. I'm not dying. Is this because of the joining?"

He looked at her. "I don't know. Maybe."

She looked seriously at him. "I'm fine. For now, not even sick."

He chuckled at her as he rubbed her back. "Do you remember when we stayed here before our cruise?"

Rose smiled, "And you kept moaning so loud?"

"And you thought we would have to explain stuff to Jackie?"

Rose laughed, "That was so great."

He cupped her face with his hands and kissed her. "We have a few minutes. How are you feeling?"

Rose bit her lip and ran her hands through his hair. "I feel perfectly fine."

He smiled slowly at her. "People wait their entire lives and never hear such beautiful words."

They both crashed their lips into one another's and kissed. Rose lay back down on the bed, pulling him on top of her. She pulled off her pajama bottoms and knickers quickly, tossing them to the side. He leaned up, not taking his lips off of hers to take off his jeans and pants. He kicked them to the floor and climbed back on top of her. He ran his hand up her shirt, cupping her breast.

He kissed her neck and chin. He was already panting with enthusiasm. His muffled voice spoke, "Woman, you've been driving me crazy up here. Sending me …. suggestions."

Rose giggled at him.

He looked in her face. "You know how hard it is to play with that in your head? You are a mean woman."

"How many goals did you score?" Rose asked him as he ran his hand down between her legs and dipped a couple of fingers inside of her. He stroked inside of her.

He whispered, "I'm about to score another one in here."

Rose bit her bottom lip, "Go ahead and shoot that penalty shot then."

"Ohhhh…. That's so hot. Talking dirty football to me." He crashed his lips back into hers as he slipped himself inside of her and thrust deeply.

There was a knock at the door.

Rose moaned and whispered, "Please tell me you locked that door."

Jackie's voice was on the other side, "Rose. The designer is here. Why is this door locked?"

The Doctor continued to thrust slowly, making Rose's eyes roll back in her head. He kissed her neck.

Rose collected herself and shouted back. "I'm just getting changed, mum."

The Doctor shook his head and whispered, "Don't ever change, Rose. You are perfect just the way you are."

Rose had to bite his shoulder to keep from shouting. He was thrusting faster and deeper.

Jackie's voice continued, "They are still playing football outside. If that Doctor comes up here before he's hosed off in the yard, I'm going to kill him."

The Doctor stopped and looked annoyed. Rose giggled at the look on his face and put her finger over his lips.

"Okay, mum! He's still downstairs. I've not seen him." Rose told her mum.

He returned to kissing Rose and whispered, "Do you want me to go downstairs?"

Rose rolled her eyes and whispered, "You can turn anything into something dirty."

He put both of his hands on her face and began to snog her again as he started to thrust again. Jackie started yelling again.

"How long do you think you will be?" Jackie asked.

The Doctor laughed in disbelief. "Is she serious?"

Rose put her hand on his face. "I'm afraid so."

He laughed and whispered. "Please let me yell back at her. Please, Rose."

Rose looked serious. "Don't you dare!"

He smiled, "We're married. Does she think we don't do this?"

Rose looked serious at him, "Do you really want to have the discussion with her?!"

He laughed quietly as he caught her lips, "Tell her sixteen minutes. She can have you then."

"Sixteen minutes, mum!" Rose yelled back.

"Sixteen minutes? That's sounds crazy!" Jackie complained.

Rose realized what she had said, "Oh, you did that on purpose!" She quietly fussed at the Doctor.

He smiled like a loon. "Oh, I really did! Ha! Now you are as strange as me!"

"I don't think anyone is as strange as you." Rose told him.

He smiled as he kissed her and continued to stroke. "Yeah, but you like my strangeness."

Rose asked him, "Can I ask you a question and you won't laugh at me?"

He stroked slower and looked at her. "Of course. What's on your mind?" He kissed the end of her nose.

"Us. Making love. Is it alright?" Rose asked.

"Yes, it's perfectly safe. The motions often make the baby go to sleep. It's alright." He told her.

She smiled, "I imagined it was, but wanted the option of a professional." She felt him finish inside of her.

He kissed her neck and told her quietly, "In a few months, well. A few weeks probably, you will start to hear something you can't really explain in your head. Gallifreyan children telepathically link to their mums while they are still being carried. Don't think something is wrong if you feel that. It's normal. But, the baby might be more human as well. So, don't feel as if something is wrong if you don't feel that. It's all normal."

Rose rolled her eyes, "So, bottom line. Just don't worry. Whatever happens is normal."

He sat up and laughed. "Right! Ah, now you have nine minutes to get ready. What can I do to help you?"

Rose shook her head and laughed at him. "Just, lay here and stay out of the way. I'll rush around."

He lay back in the bed dramatically. "Ugh! Alright! I hate this sharing you with the world. Being married to famous Rose Tyler has its drawbacks for sure!"

As she walked away from him, he turned his head and got a good look at her bare bum. He rubbed his beard. She turned and saw him watching her. She bent down and picked up her clothes, slowly. He cleared his throat. "Granted, it has its advantages, too."

Rose walked into the bathroom and rinsed herself off in the shower. By the time she stepped out, the Doctor met her with a towel and helped dry her off. He was wearing his jeans again. He wrapped the towel around her and kissed her quickly.

He rubbed his face as he put on a white oxford. He sat on the cabinet and watched Rose put on her make-up.

"I got you something. It's these sweets that are supposed to help with the nausea. They have ginger in them."

She smiled at him. "Do they work?"

He shrugged his shoulders. "I have no idea. Makes sense why it would. Chinese fishermen eat ginger to keep from getting sea sick. It's the same sort of thing. I could get you some ginger, too."

Rose made a face, "Oh, that just sounds gross. Let me try this first."

He groaned as he stood up. "Ugh! I miss my TARDIS. I could have an all day shag fest and then have you back in time for this fitting. I hate having to share you."

Rose smiled at him. "You could use that Vortex Manipulator of Jack's."

He bit his bottom lip. "Nah. It's not been run in yet. Too many things we have to be here for to mess that up now. Ugh. We'll just have to wait. Damn it!"

Rose giggled, "I don't know how you even got in here without mum seeing you."

"Ha! I snuck in! Under the Jackie radar!"

Rose smiled at him, "She's going to kick your ass."

He laughed at her. "She threatens that all of the time. Lewis wants to know when to expect you downstairs. The designer is here. What should I tell him?"

Rose put her hair up. "Tell him five minutes. I just have to put something on."

Rose turned and saw him watching her change clothes. "You are beautiful. Have I told you that today?"

She walked back over to face him. She wrapped her hands around the back of his neck. "You can kiss me if you promise you won't make me untidy. I need to go downstairs."

He smiled at her. "My brain has shorted out. I don't know how well this will work."

She giggled at him as she pulled him in and snogged him. He held her face and kissed her. She patted his chest after a few moments. He stopped kissing her and leaned back. He cleared his throat. "Right, then. Hmmmm…. Oh, let's blow all of this off and go get a hotel for the rest of the night. To hell with all of this."

Rose laughed at him, "I feel the same way."

He rubbed his face. "Oh, I don't know if you do. Woman, I'm …ugh."

Rose giggled at him as she walked into the bedroom and put a lollipop in her mouth. He leaned against the doorway and rubbed his face with both of his hands.

Rose looked back at him. "We're going back home tonight. We'll get Genie to bed early, then I'm all yours."

He nodded his head and bit his lip. "Tonight. Okay. I can wait. Tonight, Rose. Oh, it's bad."

Rose giggled at him. "I can tell. I'm sorry I have to go deal with this, right now. Hopefully these sweets work. Get what you need out of my purse. Should I just leave it up here?"

He walked over to her. "I'll put it all in my pockets. Don't worry about it. Go on downstairs. I'll go down in a bit."

Rose took his hand and looked up at him. "I'm sorry. I hate you feeling like this."

He smiled, "I'm fine, sweetheart. Don't worry about me."

Rose smiled at him. "We just made love. I bet you could go all day, all of the time."

He tossed his hands up, "Well, do you blame me!? Have you seen you?!"

Rose laughed at him. "Kiss me. Will that make it a bit better?"

He smiled as he leaned in and gave her a proper snog. When she leaned her head back to look at him, his eyes were still closed. He pressed his lips together. "Tonight. Yes. I have self control. I can wait. Ugh!" He pointed at her. "No more dirty images for the afternoon! You are killing me!"
