p class="MsoNormal"Rose style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"I style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanSame thing, style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanHe's so busy taking care of everyone else, he doesn't take care of style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanMy Dad was in that explosion, so he's been at the hospital with him at night, or doing other stuff to keep himself awake."/p
p class="MsoNormal"Jack waved his hand, "I know all about the other stuff married people do that keeps them up at night."span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/p

p class="MsoNormal"She waved her finger at style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"You're not supposed to use your style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShame shame."/p
p class="MsoNormal"He groaned as put the ball on his hip and looked at style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"Did you force me to go to sleep so you could bring me here to talk?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"She laughed, "No!span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanYou are style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanYou did that on your own."/p
p class="MsoNormal"He style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"I style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanIt's been a long few style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanRose keeps trying to get me to style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI've just got too much to style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanWhat do you need?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""I feel like you are avoiding style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanThat's the reason you have stopped style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanWe both know you can't do that very long."span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"He ran his hand through his style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"I can do it a lot longer than you think."/p
p class="MsoNormal""You forget, Rose and I are one in the style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe brought you back, and has gotten used to you being there with style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanIt helps her sleep."/p
p class="MsoNormal"He style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"Got style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI'll start sleeping, or at least being there for her."/p
p class="MsoNormal""I'm trying to keep you from taking her for style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe won't tell you things that I will."/p
p class="MsoNormal"He style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"Why won't she tell me?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""She shouldn't have to!"/p
p class="MsoNormal"He rolled his style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"Women."/p
p class="MsoNormal"Bad Wolf threw her hands style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"Men!"/p
p class="MsoNormal"The Doctor pointed at style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"Okay, enough of style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanWho is behind these damn attacks?span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanWho did this to Pete?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""I told style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanIt's not a style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanIt's an style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanThe idea needs to be style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanSo many people here are so scared of things they don't understand."/p
p class="MsoNormal""But, they won't listen to reason, either!span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanBehind every war is an style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanAnd it's usually both sides who think they are right."/p
p class="MsoNormal"The Bad Wolf shook her style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"You talk about peace, but have started to work out and practice fighting again when no one is style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanHow do you reconcile the two?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"He looked seriously at her, "It is better to be a warrior in a garden, than to be a gardener in a style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI'm not letting them take her style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI'm more determined about that than I've ever been about style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI can't lose her."/p
p class="MsoNormal"She smiled and sat down on a hay style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"She feels the same about style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe wants you happy. Never to be upset or hurt."/p
p class="MsoNormal"He ran his hands through his style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"You have to have good with the style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanSomething I have to figure out how to explain to my style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanShe is more than she seems-"/p
p class="MsoNormal""Oh, you have no idea!span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI can't wait for you to figure that out!"/p
p class="MsoNormal""What?span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanDamn it!span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanWhat?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""Language, Time Lord!span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanMan, you swear worse than I've ever known you to."/p

p class="MsoNormal"She laughed, "Oh, I'm sure you style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanAnd you're welcome, by the way."/p
p class="MsoNormal"The Doctor remembered about style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"Oh!span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanYes!span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanThank style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanAlthough, I have no idea how I'll ever get him back."/p
p class="MsoNormal""Don't worry about style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanHe might not want to return for a style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanWhen the time is right, the solution will show style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanIsn't that how it works?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"He spun the ball in his hands, "I wish it style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI would have already stopped this damn style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanRose would be style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanThis day to day, just waiting for something to happen is terrible."/p
p class="MsoNormal""Life on the slow path is that, Time Lord."span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanshe told him./p
