Chapter 18:

The Bond:

Rose had stayed about half and hour sitting in the shower crying her eyes out until she physically could cry no more. She had eventually got out and decided that she wasn't going to ruin the moment she was blessed with. She decided to put on a brave face and cross that steep bridge when the time was right, or when there was no hiding from it.

Rose had dressed herself in a casual outfit which was gorgeous and completely reflected the bright and lovely weather. She was wearing a skirt which could be described as 'flowy', it ended just above her knees and was made from pure cotton. It was mostly white but it had a large pink stitching that outlined the shape of a rose in the bottom left corner. As for her top, she was wearing a fitted baby pink strap tank top. The pink colour was almost identical to that of the colour of the stitching on her skirt. She wore flat white shoes which had a tiny bow near the front of both shoes.

By the time Rose was satisfied with the combination of garments, they had landed and the Minister was calling Rose's name.

"I'll be there in a minute Minister!" She cried, whilst she quickly ran in front of her mirror and began to sort her hair out. She let her hair down from the pony tail she placed it in and noticed that it was beautifully curled and wavy, and sat very nicely upon her shoulders. Slightly shocked at how lucky she was that she didn't need to artificially curl it or straighten it she quickly ran towards her door and headed to the Minister.

When Rose saw the Minister she couldn't help but drop her jaw and stare in wonder at how fabulous he looked. Rose couldn't help but think how he looked like one of those designer models which looked too perfect to be true. But there he was standing in front of her with a loosely fitted white shirt and a pair of suit trousers. His shirt was not tucked in and both the last and first two buttons were open allowing his shirt to spread out in opposite directions. His trousers where black but were without a single crease. Amazing, she thought,if she had seen anyone wear this outfit she would have thought they were either trying to hard or were unable to pull it off, but the Minister looking absolutely amazing in his clothes.

He turned to look at her once he noticed her presence and he too was stunned with how beautiful she looked. As he analysed her completely from her shoes to her wonderfully applied make up he walked up to her and took her hands and whispered, "You look beautiful, absolutely incredible."

Rose smiled and began to blush slightly when she replied, "Funny you should say that seeing as how I was just about to say how incredibly handsome and gorgeous you look."

They both grinned as he slowly stepped backwards pulling Rose with him.

Both Rose and the Minister were brimming with joy. Rose was to be reunited with her long lost love of her life and the Minister had not only recently found a perfect companion, but found another Time Lord. It was like a dream.

As the Minister and Rose stepped out in to the green meadows hand in hand they began to walk slowly and closely. In fact soon the Minister had rested his hand on Rose's waist and Rose had leant her head against the Minister.

Shortly they came across a little mound and lay down side by side gazing up into the perfectly blue sky.

"Rose?"

"Yes?" Rose replied, still with her eyes gazing up.

"Its perfect isn't it? This whole situation…I find you, and another person of my race, you find the Doctor and were all perfectly healthy and alive."

Rose smiled and slowly began to shut her eyes. "Yea I know…It's too good to be true, I feel like I've been in a dream."

With that they both shut there eyes and began to snuggle close to one another, holding each other as they lay in the peacefully surroundings.

But soon a familiar noise began to ring in the air and Rose's body stiffened with her eyes wide open staring into the Minister's eyes. Rose decided she was not going to think about the painful thoughts she had on board the TARDIS and was going to act like there was nothing wrong, which soon she began to realise was true.

It was only with the faint sound of foot steps and a silhouette that stood directly in front of the Sun when the Minister and Rose turned there heads to look at the man that stood before them. The Minister stood up, and Rose gently sat up into a sitting position. The Minister and Doctor stared at each other, still with some distance between them and suddenly hugged. The sheer joy and happiness that Rose could see upon both their faces was beginning to make tears swell in her eyes. But Rose wasn't the only one who was in the verge of tears. Rose noticed that both the Minister and the Doctor who were still hugging had that shimmering look in their eyes. Soon they broke apart and the Doctor spoke.

"Brother, I thought I'd lost everyone and yet here before me you stand."

Just as the Doctor was about to continue the Minister spoke, "For the greater part of my life I had been searching for you, but there was always this great barrier or distance that stood between you and I, but now we have been reunited and we both know the feeling is far too great to describe."

Both the Minister and Doctor nodded and embraced one more time.

By the end of the speech Rose had risen and was standing further behind the Minister and the Doctor. The Doctor then turned to Rose as the Minister stepped aside. They both stood still and began to grin madly at each other. Rose couldn't help herself as a small sob escaped her mouth, with that the Doctor ran towards Rose and swiftly picked her up, spinning her round and round. Once he placed her down they were still in an embrace. Rose was now crying out loud and the Doctor had streams of tears pouring down his face.

Rose tried to speak but found it impossible to do so as she struggled to find her voice. Slowly they pulled apart, and at the sight of the Doctor crying Rose was completely taken-aback. He was crying for her? The Doctor noticed Rose's slightly confused face and grinned even more, if that was possible.

Slowly the Doctor spoke, "Oh Rose, I can't even begin to describe how I feel right now. It's just…I…you and me…" As the Doctor tried to compose a sentence Rose had noticed the Minister had begun to wander back to where both the TARDIS were parked and she took this private moment between them as an opportunity and lifted her finger and pressed it to the Doctor's lips. The Doctor paused and thought if he couldn't say it he would try showing how he felt first.

Slowly the Doctor leant in towards Rose and pressed his lips firmly against hers. Rose began to push her lips against his and raised her hands into his hair as they began to kiss one another showing their deep feeling towards each other.

Once they parted, only so that they could breathe, the Doctor looked deep into Rose's eyes and whispered, "Rose Tyler I love you."

A sudden burst of tears began to slide down Rose's already moist cheeks and she replied, "I love you too my Doctor." They embraced and stood there as the gentle breeze blew against them. After a few moments the Doctor leant back.

"Rose, I'm going to go speak with the Minister for a while, I'll be back soon." He said as he gentle stroked her cheek with his hand.

"Of course" She whispered back as they reluctantly separated. Rose decided to sit herself down as she looked back to the Doctor who was now walking towards the Minister. Once the Minister and Doctor were within talking distance they both stepped into the Minister's TARDIS. From there on Rose turned her head back and lay on the soft green grass as she began to re think everything that happened recently, mainly the kiss between her and the Doctor. A kiss which symbolised everything they both meant to each other and the strength of the bond between the two.
