A/N: A lot of this chapter has been plucked from a story I wrote called Because of You, it was awful so I deleted it and am reworking the idea, this chapter goes to miss kiwi because messaging you made me smile.

It had nearly killed him to do it, but the Doctor knew she'd be safe with them. Once he'd de-materialised, he collapsed into a heap on the floor and cried himself to sleep.

Rose sat on the bench at the park. She sobbed, and although it was early morning, an old lady and her husband were feeding the birds at the lake near by. This made Rose cry more as she saw the love that the two shared. They held hands and just sat there feeding the birds. Somehow though, Rose felt better inside, she accepted that maybe it was time to move on, she'd had an awesome time with the Doctor and now he was gone, it was time to get on with her life. It killed her to think it but Rose got up smiled at the elderly couple who burst out laughing (much to Rose's annoyance) but still smiled back at her and fed the birds some more.

It had been two moths since the Doctor had left her, and Rose had only just moved on. She'd resumed her relationship with Mickey, because he was the only one who understood what she'd done, and what he'd meant to her. In time she'd forgiven her mother and Mickey – reluctantly and still hated them deep down inside for what they'd done. But Mickey had asked her to marry him and she'd said yes, Rose wasn't in love but she was content. Mickey loved her and treated her exceptionally, and Rose was going to live her life like the Doctor didn't exist in some time or space.

"Rose sweetie, it's time to go and get your wedding dress fitted," her mother told her. Rose's dress was strapless white with beads sewed on around the bodice. It looked amazing on her yet it didn't feel right to wear it. Black seemed like a more appropriate colour but her mother had said no. The wedding was in a week and Rose was in a panic trying to get everything organised. Jackie was Rose's only bridesmaid and she was wearing a navy gown with diamantes strung loosely down the back. She too looked amazing.

The big day came and the nerves set in. Rose knew she wasn't doing the right thing but she had no choice.

"Mum, I don't think I can do this," she told Jackie.

"Sweetheart, I know you loved the Doctor, but he did the right thing, he made you stay," Jackie replied, "and besides you look beautiful."

"Okay Mum, I'll be down in a minute," Rose said her eyes shining. "Tears of joy," was her answer.

"Do you, Mickey take Rose to be your lawfully wedded wife, to love and to cherish, in sickness and in health for as long as you may live?" the priest asked.

"I do," came Mickey's response. His eyes never left Rose, she looked stunning and although she smiled there was a certain reluctance as she took her place at the altar next to him.

"And do you Rose, take Mickey to be your lawfully wedded husband, to love and to cherish, in sickness and in health for as long as you may live?"

"I – I - I do," Rose answered stuttering the answer out.

"If there is anyone here who can see why these two should not be wed, speak now, or forever hold you peace."

"I can," came a northern accent. Rose's head whipped around and she saw the Doctor standing there, he was wearing his normal attire, hardly appropriate for a wedding, but the sadness that had been there when he left her was gone.

"You!" Mickey roared. That was it, he knew it, now that the Doctor was back, Rose would disappear again.

"Sir, why should these two not be wed?" the priest asked stunned. He'd never come across anything like this before; normally everyone wanted a wedding to go smoothly.

"Because I don't love Mickey," Rose whispered; and the congregation gasped. I'm sorry, but you knew, I thought you understood that I wasn't ready, you pressured me and I agreed but I was never happy, I thought you knew that. Sorry." She said.

Rose ran down the aisle into the Doctor's welcoming arms and he said," I'm sorry. I truly am. If I'd known you were gonna marry Ricky the Idiot, well, I would've brought my book of insults along. But seriously Rose, I love you, when you left, I thought I was gonna die, suddenly saving planets wasn't enough. Because everyday you were with me, you saved me Rose. Now, I have something to ask you," The Doctor said.

He got down on one knee and pulled a ring case from his jacket. "Rose Tyler, will you marry – " the Doctor said, but he never got a chance, Mickey slogged him.

"You think you can walk in here, ruin my wedding and then try and take my girl? Well I got news for you Doctor! You can't! Rose! Get back up on the altar! NOW!" Mickey roared pulling Rose up who was sitting over the Doctor. He was bruised badly.

"Ow! Mickey! Stop it! I'm not marrying you! Get off me! OW!" Rose screamed trying to pry Mickey's grip.

"Mr. Smith I think you'd better let her go," the priest protested. Jackie had been silent the entire time had recoiled away from the scene.

"Shut it! Now! Marry us!" he spat.

The priest recoiled from his tone and opened up his Bible again.

"You. Stay. Away. From. Rose." The Doctor snarled.

He grabbed her and they ran out of the church hand in hand.

"Rose! Are you all right! I'll kill him. There's no stopping me. I knew he was a git, but hitting a girl. Sick!" The Doctor said protectively covering Rose with his jacket and standing up to face Mickey.

"Not if I kill you first!" Mickey retaliated and went to punch the Doctor again. Luckily, the Doctor caught Mickey's hand and forced him into a police lock. Mickey recoiled and lay on the ground.

"C'mon!" he yelled and whisked Rose into the TARDIS.

"Okay, to repeat what I said earlier: Rose Tyler, will you marry me? Oh and might I add, you look stunning. Absolutely fantastic and that's not considering. You Rose Tyler are a vision of beauty."

"Yes! Yes of course I'll marry you! But you have to promise never to send me away again! Because I hated you for what you did, I nearly killed myself. Doctor you leave me, I die," she exclaimed real tears of joy in her eyes. "And seeing as I'm dressed for the occasion, lets get married today, Mickey won't be allowed back in the church and everything is already set up. Whatdoyasay?"

"For you Rose Tyler, Anything."
