A/N I can't believe it, that last episode was so sad, my heart was bursting out of chest in the last scene, and SHE SAID IT! But he didn't, but we all know that he loves her! And who the hell is that bride woman, she already irritates me!

ok just to clear a few things up…..in the last chapter it mentioned a second TARDIS, that one was from before the Doctor sent Rose away and the other one was the present time Doctor and has the three years older Rose.

Ok and the Doctor that was just standing there in front of Rose was the Doctor from the past time line and the one that took Rose away was the one from the present time line. I hope that it wasn't too confusing, I hate time thingies and the whole different time line but if you have any quires I will try and explain it.

I'M SO SORRY, I let you all down. Sorry for the slow update, had a few problems, and I had to take a break, so here is the 10th chapter! Will update faster from now on!

Oh and 1 more thing, thank you Spacemonkey for the offer to be my beta, if the offer still stands, then it would be very much appreciated. If the offer is still on the table then email me and I will email you the next chapter!

Ok that was a little to much form me!

Enjoy the tenth chapter!

The Body is a Fragile Thing

xxx

The Body is a fragile thing. So many things must work together in order for it to keep going. But after a while something happens that causes things to work out of balance with each other, causes things to shut down. It is like a machine that every once and a while it needs to be updated and repaired.

Panic set in and the world became a blur behind the tears that were burning his eyes. All the read outs said the same thing, she was dead, you were too late to save her and now she is dead.

His world began to fall apart, the dam broke through and he sank down, rocking backwards and forwards.

He could feel the TARDIS trying to talk to him, she didn't know what was going on and was worried about Rose.

Theta? Theta, what is the matter, what's happened. Please tell me!

She was getting no reply; she became angry and started to groan loudly making the walls around him vibrate in anger.

Tell me now, what has happened she calmed slightly as he pulled him self together.

She's dead.

What? Who's dead, Theta what the hell are you going on about.

You lied to me, you said that all was not as it seemed and you said that she wouldn't die, you promised me and you made me go back and now she is dead! He was incredibly angry, yet the TARDIS was furious that he was blaming her for what had happened she knew that Rose shouldn't be dead. She shook the interior and rocked the ship around, causing him to be thrown around, incredibly Rose stayed on the bed.

How dare you! You will mot blame this on me! I know that she should not be dead, I did not lie to you, there is something blocking my knowledge but it tells me that Rose should not be dead!

Well I'm sorry to disappoint you but she is dead, she is lying here, her heart isn't beating, she is dead. There is nothing that we can do about it!

Theta stop shouting for a minute and look at Rose.

He whipped his head around and stopped short looking at the still figure on the bed. Looking closely he noticed that she wasn't as pale anymore, she seemed to be gold, no that couldn't be right, gold? She was gold, no wait a minute she was glowing gold. What the hell was happening, why the hell she was glowing?

Old girl why is she glowing, what the hell is happening?

It is the Bad Wolf, it is changing her.

Into what?

A Time Lady.

WHAT! You can't be serious, how is this happening.

Some of the Time Vortex remained within her and is now twisting and turning and changing her DNA.

How do I stop it?

You can't, it must run it course, if you stop it she will die.

Will she change?

No, just her mind and she will have two hearts. But there is another added bonus, she will have 3 regenerations to match your own, since there was no other Time Lords, you were the blue print for her DNA.

How long will it take, and will she be injured?

Have patience, and wait.

He sat there waiting for a long time; the glowing was the only light source in medical bay, the light was making his eyes hurt. He sat there looking at her still from and monitoring any changes that occurred.

So far her body temperature had dropped to the normal temperature of a Time Lady; she had started to develop her second heart, the brain waves that were being emitted were different. Yet she was still showing no physical signs of life, no heart beat and no rise and fall of her fragile form.

He was angry and worried, not at Rose, she couldn't have known that this was going to happen. No, he was angry at him self, he had been so high on the fact that all the Dalek were dead and that Rose and himself were alive that he hadn't bothered to check that something may have remained of the Time Vortex. He was angry that this was happening, angry with the whole situation.

He started to think of everything, the pros and the cons of Rose becoming a Time lady.

Ok Con's

she will no longer be human

She might hate me, and leave me.

She will have to watch everyone that she loves grow old and die.

And the last, yet the most important. Jackie will slap me, hard!

Ok now the Pro's

She will be alive, definite bonus.

She will live for a very long time.

She will be with me until we both die.

I will no longer be lonely.

I won't be the last of his kind.

The Pro's seem to out way the Con's, even though most of the Pro's are in my favor.

He didn't think that the list that he had made was all that helpful to the situation. In fact it just seemed to add to the never ending problem.

One new problem was Jackie. Yes he had begun to like her this time round, but she was already pissed at him, and then add the fact that her only child was now a alien, well that was just the icing on a very big cake of problems.

Now all he had to do was wait and see what Rose thought about everything.

He had fallen asleep waiting for Rose to wake up.

The first thing that he registered was all the noise going on around him.

The TARDIS was humming, making happy little sounds for some ungodly reason. The medical bay was also alive with noises. All the machines were beeping and humming, brought to life. And then there was another sound less obvious but to his ears the loudest in the room, the breathing of Rose Tyler.

He quickly leapt from his position on the worn chair in the med bay, and made his way towards the sleeping form on the central bed.

Lying there was Rose Tyler, her skin pale, yet not deathly so, her lips red and parted as she breathed in and out. Her chest rising and falling almost rhythmically with each breath, her body, relaxed as she dreamt.

He took out his sonic screwdriver and scanned Rose's sleeping form, checking that every thing was as it should be due to the circumstances. Everything checked out to be perfectly fine, she was a picture of health.

She had started to stir, her eyes scrunching up against some unseen pain, her face turning into a frown as she started to moan. Her eyes started to flutter open, trying to adjust to the small amount of light in the room to get a better focus on the person in front of her.

She opened and closed her mouth a few time, moistening it, trying to get some moisture in her dry mouth and parched throat. Her eyes feel onto the Doctor, wide with astonishment that he was standing there.

"Doctor?" her voice horse from little use, and dehydration.

"Hey, how you feeling?" he used a hushed loving voice.

She blinked still trying to focus on everything, but mostly her thoughts.

"'m alright, just tired" she said sleepily.

"Well why don't you get some sleep then and after that we need to have a little talk, ok?" he said quietly as he caressed her face and smoothed out her hair.

"Guess. Stay with me please?" she asked tentatively

"Always" he declared

Satisfied with the answer Rose rolled her head to once again it was centre of the pillow and closed her eyes. Soon her body was relaxed and her face the echo of her dreams. The Doctor slowly got on the bed with her bringing her into his embrace. Her head feel onto his chest and her arms wrapped around just above his waist. His arms wrapped around her sleeping from, his chin rested on her head as she buried her head in his neck, soon the Doctor was fast asleep, comforted that the woman that he loved was alive.
