Another update for you, mainly cos I didn't manage to upload yesterday, so you get 2 today. Aren't I nice? Hey? Hey?

Thanks again to everyone for the reviews. I am basking in review glow... :-D

Disclaimer: I own nothing. I am a nobody. However I am working on that...both parts, seriously, how cool would it be to own Doctor Who?

You know, he really was a genius. The one and only Master of the Universe. Or universes. Or was it universai? Not that it mattered. All that mattered was that he had come up with the most brilliant, foolproof, amazingly fantastic rescue plan that there ever had been in the history of plans.

So excited, he told Jackie, who looked at him like he was mad. And then she went and pointed out the tiniest, stupidest more insignificant flaw.

'Doctor, I thought we were going for discreet'.

So he looked back over his plans, and scrutinised them very carefully. Ok, so getting the entire British Army to storm the building wasn't maybe the best idea he'd had in a while. In fact, now that he thought about it, it really was quite rubbish. Throwing the piece of paper containing the details of the 'plan' over his shoulder, he turned and looked at his small oddly assembled rescue team.

'Jackie, Pete, you stay here. Jack, with me.' And they ran off to rescue Rose, sensibly before Jackie Tyler even managed to open her mouth to protest. They both needed their hearing for this.

The Doctor and Jack stood outside the tall Torchwood building in Canary Wharf, and stared up at it.

'Any plan? At all?' Jack asked, his tone light.

'Nope. Wingin' it.' Jack glanced over at the Doctor.

'Doctor, this is Rose we're talking about. Are you sure?'

The Doctor turned to look at him, raw emotion visible in his eyes, and Jack saw beneath the fake cavalier act.

'I know Jack. Believe me, I know. I won't mess this up for anything.' And then the grin was back.

'So what are we waiting for?'

Rose woke to a feeling she wasn't expecting. She was warm and comfortable, and pain free. What was wrong with this picture? Ahh, yes. She had been expecting pain, of some sort or another. But there was none.

Which made her wonder how long she's been asleep for. Suddenly worried, her head shot up and she looked down her body. Nope. Bump still the same size. More importantly, the bump was still there. So what had happened? It made no sense.

Unless, of course, the woman had actually been telling the truth when she'd said they meant her or the baby no harm. But still, she didn't believe that. So something else must have happened. She didn't feel drowsy or numb or strange, which ruled out painkillers, and it hurt when she pinched herself, so not dreaming.

Hmmm. Strange.

Rose absently rubbed the red patch of skin where she'd pinched herself as she gazed around the room. It was sparse. Very sparse. And she knew she'd probably go mad (madder) from boredom soon if something didn't happen to occupy her time.

And with that thought, the door opened. Rose shrugged, and got to her feet, silently following the same men who had fetched her yesterday. Or what she thought was yesterday. She still wasn't entirely sure about that.

Maybe she'd find out what happened.

Rose lay on the bed in the lab thinking. She remembered this from yest...the time she was last in here. She turned her head, and gazed silently at the same woman who had approached her before. This time, there was no needle in her hand. Pulling up a chair, the woman sat down and looked at Rose, unblinking, expressionless. Then she spoke.

'You, Rose Tyler, are a quite remarkable person.' Rose blinked. Definitely not what she expected to hear. She stayed silent, waiting for her to continue.

'To travel with a Time Lord, the last of the Time Lords, is an amazing thing in itself, but to be pregnant with a Gallifreyan baby is exceptional. They are an extraordinary race, even before they are born. For example, did you know they protect the mother from the womb?' Rose looked blank.

'Oh yes. We couldn't even get near you yesterday after we put you to sleep. In fact when we tried everyone in the room, it seems, was transported outside by a gold light. We found some of our team several hours later climbing out of the Thames a few miles down river.'

A flicker of amusement crossed Rose's face, although she knew it wasn't the baby who had done that, though she was sure it would've done if Bad Wolf hadn't got there first.

'So, Rose. We understand this may be because the baby felt threatened, and I wanted to reassure you we mean you both no harm.' The woman reached out to place a hand on her arm, but found herself flung across the room as Rose's eyes flashed gold.

This was an interesting development, Rose thought, slightly bemused as she looked down at her arm. She broke her silence.

'Evidently she doesn't believe you.' She commented as the woman struggled to her feet, holding her head. Her face contorted into an expression of deep anger.

'We will have that baby, Miss Tyler. Mark my words.' Rose stared her down coolly.

'Not if her father or I have anything to say about it.' She said, one eyebrow raised. Her voice was calm, a lot calmer that she felt. Inside, she was awash with fear, they wouldn't...would they?

Her only comfort was the knowledge that he was coming. She knew that more than anything else. He was coming. But would he be in time?

Please hurry Doctor.

The receptionist looked up, startled by the sudden loud noise. She stopped dead when she saw the two men standing in the doorway. Both were men she recognised, and both were men on the 'deadly targets' list. She fumbled for the panic button, but was frozen in her tracks when the Doctor held up a hand.

'I wouldn't if I were you, there's a good girl. Now, where's Rose Tyler?'

The receptionist shook as she typed the request into her computer.

'Top floor. Cell 1'. She stammered. The Doctor winked at her, then he and Captain Jack strode off to the stairs.

'By the way.' He called over his shoulder. 'I'd appreciate if you told no one we're here please. Element of surprise and all that.' He looked over to Jack, and nodded. Jack turned a threw a device onto the floor of the reception. The receptionist stood, fear radiating from her.

Then there was a flash, and she shook her head. What had she been doing? Ah yes. Arranging visiting times. And she turned back to the computer.

Jack peered around the corner, and grinned smugly. He looked at the Doctor.

'See? Told you memory flashes would come in useful.' The Doctor shook his head, and motioned for Jack to follow him.

'Alright wonderboy. We're here for Rose, not your ego.'

Jack just grinned.
