Chapter 70 - Numbers

Rose walked into the bedroom wearing her blue robe, and saw the Doctor wincing in pain.

"What did you do?" she asked him.

"Pulled my stitches as I got into the bed. I'm alright. It's not as bad as it was. Oh, Rose. I hate this."

"How much are you shielding me at the moment?"

"A lot." He rubbed his face and sighed as she climbed into the bed with him.

She leaned in and kissed him. "You turned off the music."

He shook his head. "No. I dropped the remote on the floor. Can you get it?"

Rose got it and handed it to him. "Are you alright?"

He uncovered his face and looked at her. "I'm fine. It's not that bad. Come here."

She climbed on top of him and kissed him quickly.

"Are you alright? Really?" Rose asked him.

He shook his head, "I'm fine. Don't worry about me."

He opened her robe and ran his hands up and down her nude body as they continued their snog. She cupped his face and moaned.

'This makes me feel better, Rose. Oh, this vanilla soap. You smell like candy, Rose. I love this.' he moaned.

'I love it when you kiss me. When you touch me.' she told him.

He smiled at her and chuckled. "Hang on a minute. I know what else you love, too."

He turned on the stereo and song started to play.

"What is this? Sounds old." Rose asked.

She smiled as the Doctor started to sing "You Go to My Head" to her along with Billie Holiday. She leaned in and rubbed his nose with her own as he sang. He kissed her when the song allowed him to.

"Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne. This is so you." Rose smiled.

He chuckled as he continued to sing to her. When the song ended, he smiled up at her. "Was that alright? I swear, I've never sang to anyone. I still find it a bit strange."

She kissed him, "You can tell how much I love it. I can't tell you why, I just do. You pick the best songs, too."

He smiled. "I've wanted to dance with you to that song."

"I love that song. I've never heard it before." She told him.

He smiled. "It's one of my favorites. Makes me think of you."

Rose laughed as the next song came on. It was, "How You Like Me Now" by The Heavy. "You listen to this?"

He smiled, "Oh yes! I love this music! Great for shagging! Although, you're going to have to drive tonight, love."

Rose leaned down and kissed him as she pulled him inside of her and began to slide up and down on his shaft. He moaned loudly as he ran his hands up and down her body. She moaned and pressed down on him, driving him deeper inside of her.

"Yes! That! Oh wow!" he exclaimed.

Rose smiled at him, "Do not let me hurt your leg! Tell me if I need to do something diff-"

He shook his head and moaned, "Don't do anything different, Rose!"

Rose smiled as she felt his pleasure. She began to pump him again as he sat up to kiss her. He cupped her face as she ran her hands through his hair.

'How's that leg, Old Man?'

'What leg?' he smiled.

'You can tell me a number if you want to.' Rose teased him.

"Sixty-one!" he told her.

She leaned back and looked surprised. "You are kidding me."

He laughed, "That's how many stitches are in my leg! Ha!"

She smiled, "Daft Time Lord. I knew that number."

"You weren't clear." he teased as he continued to kiss her. Rose continued to give them both the friction both needed.

He moaned loudly, "How are you this good at this?"

She looked him in the eyes and smiled, "Only the best for my Doctor."

He fell back against the pillows and ran his hands through his hair. She drove him deeper inside of her. He called her name as he moaned. She smiled at his pleasure. She ran her hands up her own chest as he watched her. She could tell it he enjoyed watching her. He lay back and smiled as she stroked him slowly, and rubbed her breasts.

"Are you enjoying this?" she asked him. She already knew he was.

'Two! How many hearts I have.' he told her.

'Shut up.'

'Ten! How many toes I have!'

'You're an idiot. I should tell you a number.' Rose teased him as she rode him slowly.

He looked at her seriously. "Oh, I don't think I want to know that. Don't tell me, love."

Rose leaned down and whispered to him, "I won't tell you. But, I will tell you that you are the biggest that I've ever seen."

He covered his face and smiled, "Regeneration is a lottery. I hope I still make you happy in the next body, too."

She put her breasts in his face and he grabbed them immediately and kissed them. 'As long as you are always happy with this one I have.'

He smiled, "Never worry about that, my dear. You are perfect. Made just for me."

Rose pressed down on his waist again, driving him deeply inside of her. He grabbed her sides and held her as he kissed her with renewed passion.

'Seventeen! Seventeen people in this flat normally.' He continued in her head.

'My God! No wonder it feels empty tonight.'

'Twenty-two!'

Rose smiled, 'What is twenty-two?'

He leaned back and looked at her. "What do you think it is?"

She turned her head and looked surprised at him. "It's not."

"It is! How many people were at our wedding! Ha!"

Rose smiled at him as he rubbed his nose against hers and caught her lips.

'Give it up, woman. I'll never tell you that number. I love to tease you.' he told her.

'I really think it's your favorite thing to do.' Rose told him.

She pressed him back down on the pillows as she pushed him deep inside of her and felt him finish. He groaned in satisfaction.

She lay on his chest and kissed his lips.

"Second favorite thing. This is my first." he told her.

She smiled at him, "I love you. Are you going to the hospital tonight?"

"Not until after you go to sleep. I'll come back and we'll wake up together. Will that be alright? Rose, you can tell me if you need me more at night. I know you are used to me being here."

"That will drive you crazy." Rose told him.

"No, what drives me crazy is you not telling me things. How am I supposed to know if you don't tell me?" he told her.

She looked at him curiously, "Where is this coming from? What are you on about?"

"Nothing sweetheart. I didn't mean to sound so cross." He kissed her quickly. "Just know, you can tell me anything. You know that, right?" he asked her seriously.

She looked in his eyes. "I know."

She lay down on his chest. He ran his fingers lightly up and down her back. She quickly fell asleep.

The phone rang. The Doctor woke up and rubbed his face. He had been asleep for 34 minutes. Rose moaned as he reached over to get her purse off of the nightstand. He sat it in the bed and rummaged around to find the ringing phone. Rose raised her head up to see what he was doing.

"I'm sorry, love. Go back to sleep." he told her as she sat up and rubbed his chest instead.

"Oh, please don't let it be Torchwood. You can't go in and Jake isn't back, yet." Rose said as she ran her hand through her hair.

He finally found the phone and answered it. It was a nurse at the hospital.

He spoke. "Yes, this is Doctor Smith. No, it's completely fine. That's the reason I gave you the number."

He sat up in the bed. Rose could feel his shock and anger.

"It's what? Ugh! Put him on oxygen immediately! I'm on my way!" He ended the phone call and jumped out of the bed. He got on his crutches and hurried to the bathroom, complaining the entire way in a strange language.

Rose put on her robe and followed him into the closet.

He sat on a bench and slid on his pants. He hopped over to a drawer and pulled out a t-shirt and socks. He put them on as he continued to complain.

Rose crossed her arms. "What on earth is going on?"

He looked back at her. He motioned for her to come over to him. "Come here a minute. I need some help."

He sat back down on the bench and Rose helped him take off the leg splint. He carefully pulled on some khaki trousers. Then Rose helped him put back on the leg splint.

"Hand me my trainers. Can you put that on that foot?" he asked her.

Rose put his shoe on as he put on his other one. He stood up and put on his jacket and grabbed his crutches and went back into the bedroom.

Rose followed him.

"Okay, what's going on?" She asked him.

"Pete is going to have a heart attack if I don't get this under control. His blood pressure is crazy and he's already sweating like mad! The idiots took him off the medication I had him on. That's all he needs right now!" he told her took his things out of her purse and loaded them into his pockets.

He grabbed the tablet and files that lay on the nightstand as Rose handed him in wallet.

"Right. Sorry. Forgot. Go to sleep, I'll be back before you wake up." he told her as he zapped away.
