Chapter 61 - Memory Gaps

The Doctor walked back into his and Rose's bedroom. He ran his hand through his wet hair. He had taken a shower and used the dermal regenerator downstairs. He was grateful for the locker rooms that had just been completed in the bigger on the inside room with the football pitches.

He looked around for Rose. It was quiet. He walked over to the crib to find that Sam was sleeping peacefully. He rubbed his beard as he turned and started to walk towards the bathroom. He nearly walked right into Rose. She caught him and laughed quietly. "Are you still in a daze from last night?"

He looked in her eyes and then crashed his lips into hers. He couldn't explain his confusion, but knew that the only thing that seemed to make any sense is how much he wanted her. He held her tightly as he kissed her. She relaxed in his arms as he ran his hands down to her bum and pushed her closer to him. Rose felt his breath against her neck as he leaned down and kissed her neck and chest. Rose could sense him relax as he opened her robe and looked at her nude body. She had apparently just gotten out of the shower. Her scent was exaggerated and it drove him wild. His lust grew.

She wrapped her arms around his neck as he picked her up and took her over to their bed. He lay her down gently as his lips met hers again. He whispered to her. "This is okay, right?"

She grabbed the back of his head and pulled him back down to her lips. She ran her hands through his wet hair and continued to snog him.

His bracelet lit up. "Sir." Friday said.

"Shhh….." he whispered to Friday. "The baby is sleeping. What is it?" He returned to kissing Rose and running his hands down her nude body.

Friday said, in a quieter voice, "Sir. Tony has arrived."

The Doctor told Friday quietly. "Tell him to have some coffee and I'll be with him in ten minutes."

Rose giggled. "Tell him twelve minutes."

He smiled back at her and whispered, "Yes. Twelve minutes."

The Doctor smiled at her like a loon as he took off his shirt and tossed it across the room. He lay back on her and began to kiss her again. He could feel her lust and excitement. She pulled at the waistband of his shorts. He whispered to her again, "Rose, this is okay right? I'm not hurting you, am I?"

Rose threw her arms out in frustration. She quietly fussed at him. "I'm fine! I'm not hurt. I'm not pregnant. I'm fine. Stop worrying."

His look of surprise turned into relief as he began to kiss her more enthusiasm. He ran his hand down between her legs and rubbed her clit. She pulled her leg up behind his back and began to moan. She became wet very quickly as he ran his fingers around her opening and dipped them inside of her.

He continued to kiss her and whispered, "Don't get loud. You'll wake him up."

She bit her lip. As she pushed his shorts and pants down. She grabbed his stiff member and pulled it inside of her. He thrust inside of her, causing them both moan loudly. They stopped at the sudden bit of loudness and laughed at one another. He started to stroke inside of her as she wrapped her legs around him.

'Slow down. You have twelve minutes.' Rose told him in his head.

He smiled as he met her lips again. 'He's not keeping count. I might take a bit longer. I'm going to take my time and enjoy this.'

She smiled under his kiss. 'I'd love for you to. We have months to make up for.'

He ran his hands down her body as he looked down at her. "You are so beautiful. I've loved you since I first saw you."

He could feel Rose's disbelief at his words. He whispered to her. "Probably even more lovely now. Feel my sincerity."

She smiled as she felt something else from him as well. Goosebumps formed on her. She whispered. "I feel like my body is tingling. Is that coming from you?"

He smiled at her, "You still do that to me. Everytime we touch."

She smiled as she looked into his eyes. "Even with a million voices in your head-"

"You're the only one in the universe at this moment. The only one I see or hear. Nothing else matters. I love you so much." He could feel Rose's happiness grow, and her pleasure as he continued to hit all of right places inside of her, slowly.

Rose smiled up at him, and whispered, "I love you."

He continued to kiss her as he continued to make love to her. His bracelet lit up again. Friday's voice came across quietly. "Sir."

The Doctor ignored him.

"Sir." Friday said again.

The Doctor rose up and growled. "Ugh! What? I'm busy."

"There is an urgent call from Torchwood." Friday said.

He was kissing Rose again, completely lost in her. "Then tell them to leave an urgent message. I'm busy."

"Yes, sir." Friday said.

Rose spoke to him in his head. 'Don't you need to get that?'

'You aren't there yet. I need to get you there.' He panted.

She smiled at his determination. 'Just get yours. We can continue mine later.'

He continued to kiss her neck as she felt his disappointment. He groaned. "Damn it." He rose up and looked in her eyes. "I'm sorry, Rose."

"Don't apologize. I know I have to share you sometimes. Just don't make that a habit." Rose teased him.

He caught her lips again and kissed her. She sucked his bottom lip, then his tongue danced with hers again.

His wrist band lit up again. Friday's voice spoke. "Sir."

The Doctor rose up and Rose could feel his annoyance. "What?!"

Rose quickly put her finger over his lips to quite him, but it was already too late. He had woke Sam up. Sam started to cry in his crib. The Doctor dropped his head. "I'm so sorry, Rose."

He pulled back on his pants and shorts, and walked over to Sam's crib. He picked him up and held him. "Sorry. Daddy didn't mean to wake you up. Everything is alright." He told Sam. Sam stopped crying and looked up at The Doctor.

Rose got up and retied her robe. She held her arms out to take Sam. "Let me have him."

The Doctor was bouncing gently on his feet as he stood. Sam had calmed down. "We're alright. Go get dressed."

Rose smiled at him holding Sam. "See if you can find where you threw your shirt."

He ran his hand through his wet hair and looked around the room. "What is it, Friday?" Then he grumbled under his breath. "Now, that I can't ignore you anymore. Geez."

Rose walked into the bathroom.

Friday began. "Sir. Jake Simmonds has left you a message."

He groaned as he walked over to the table and picked up his phone. He rang Jake. "Sorry I missed you. What is it?"

Jake spoke. "Logan was shipped off to a training facility in Alberta. I'll pop over and get him, but you'll need to sign some papers as per Thomas' orders."

The Doctor couldn't hide his relief. "Oh, shit. Is that all? I thought the world was ending with the way Friday was insisting I answer the call. Geez. Get him and bring the papers to me to sign. If Thomas gives you a hard time with that, explain to him that I was shot last night and I'm at home recovering. If he still gives you a hard time, remind him that I'd be happy to pop over and punch him out again."

Jake laughed, "Taken care of, Doc! Sorry to bother you with it."

The Doctor ended the call and slipped the phone in his pocket. He looked down at Sam and smiled, "People can't think for themselves Sam. I wonder if I should send Jake a message reminding him to breathe."

Sam reached his tiny hand up and put it in The Doctor's mouth. He walked over the bathroom and knocked on the door. "Rose. Can we come in?"

"Sure. I'm just brushing out my hair."

He pushed the door open and walked inside. She stood there, in her robe. She had just brushed her hair out and the light hit it from the windows. It almost glowed. He stood and stared at her. Rose turned towards him and leaned against the cabinet. "Are you still feeling confused? Are you alright?"

He shook his head as he returned to himself. "Sorry, I just. I don't know. Daydreaming or something."

Rose walked over, handed him a shirt, and took Sam from him. "Don't forget Tony is downstairs."

He nodded his head. "Yes. Right. That I remembered. Oh! Rose. I need to talk to you about something very quick. Can you get us packed?"

Rose looked surprised at him. "Packed? What are you talking about?"

He put on his shirt, looked down at Sam and smiled at him. "They need my help back on Plentitude. Someone has an injury similar to Pete's. To make it there by the time they will be arriving, we need to leave this afternoon."

"We're going to Plentitude?" Rose asked him through a laugh.

He nodded his head, "Yeah. That's alright, isn't it?"

"With Genie. And Sam?"

He nodded his head, "Of course. And Tony. Your Dad insisted. Lewis is talking to Arla about it, and Legate will join us as well."

Rose shook her head. "We can't take those children on a ship."

He put his hands on his hips, "Well, why not?"

"What if they get sick?" Rose asked.

"I'd take them to the ship if they got sick here!" He reasoned.

Rose looked surprised. "I just….I really wasn't expecting that."

He smiled at her. "I told you I would take you on a Babymoon. This could be it. A small holiday, with the children. Granted, I'll have to work a bit. But, I think you can help me with that, Agent Tyler. Can I help you pack or what do you need?"

Rose was looking at Sam in complete disbelief. "Just bring the suitcase up here and I'll put whatever in it for all of us."

"Alright." He agreed.

"What about the TARDIS? Someone will have to tend to her while we're gone." Rose remembered.

He rubbed his beard. "Damn. I haven't thought of that."

Rose suggested, "Jake?"

"Nah, he'll shoot her."

"Tony?"

"No way." The Doctor said.

"Jack?"

"Hell no!" The Doctor snapped his fingers. "Pete can do it! I'll go chat with him about it."

The Doctor rubbed his beard. "Hang on. Let me go change into some jeans. I need pockets." He walked into the closet. After a few moments, he walked out and stopped in front of Rose. "Do you need me to take him? Let you get dressed?"

Rose looked down at Sam and smiled. "No. He will need a feed again. I'll get dressed after that."

He rubbed his face. "You sitting up here with just a robe on. Why do you put that image in my head when I have to go downstairs? Rose, there is so much I could do."

Rose giggled at him.

He started to walk out of the bathroom. Rose grabbed his hand to stop him. "How are you? Really?"

He looked curiously at her. "Can you sense that?"

Rose nodded her head. "I think so."

He ran his hand through his hair. "I don't know. I think it's getting a bit better. I'd be happier if I didn't have this gap in my memory from last night. Did I go right to sleep once we got home? What happened exactly?"

Rose patted his chest. "You need to go tend to Tony. We don't have a lot of time. Drink some tea. That helped when you regenerated that time."

He laughed, "I need to heat up the old synapses, huh? That couldn't hurt. I've got a million things to do today. I'll go get the children in a bit. I'll bring that suitcase to you, or I'll send it up. Alright?"

She smiled at him as he leaned down and kissed her quickly. As he walked out of the bathroom, he pointed at her. "Yours. Later. Promise."

"Shooo!" Rose said playfully as she blushed.
