A Time Lord And Lady
Rose frowned as did Jack, as they took in the person standing in front of them, who they presumed was the Doctor.
He was slightly taller. His hair was longer messy and a lighter shade of brown. Gone were the blue eyes Rose had loved so much. In there place was a set of warm and heart melting brown ones.
He had a light smattering of freckles on his undeniably younger face, paired with smaller ears and a slightly smaller mouth and nose.
He was less broad shouldered and he appeared to be thinner then his pervious self had been. The ever present black leather jacket and jumper and jeans were now too large for the smaller frame of his new body.
In short he was what his previous self would have considered to be a pretty boy. When he grinned he revealed perfect straight and white teeth.
Rose hesitantly stepped forwards. Jack followed her uncertainly. She asked "Is that really you Doctor? Are you really the Doctor, the same man?"
The Doctor spoke "I am and I am not Rose." They noticed he spoke in a similar accent to Rose's new accent.
He added "I have a new body, a new accent and my voice sounds different and I have a different personality.
Some of my pervious personality traits have most likely changed. Certain quirks are not the same, but some still are. But I still remember everything my previous self had."
He added "I am yet to discover was has changed and what hasn't changed. It is apart of the regeneration process, I discover everything new and old as I go along."
He finished "the outside packaging is different, but what is on the inside is still as it was. I still have two hearts. I still love Jack, and I am still in love with you Rose, that has not changed in the least."
He asked "what exactly do I look like, am I ginger?" Jack snorted while Rose did not know weather to laugh or cry.
Jack came up from behind and wrapped his arms around her, noticing how overwhelmed she was.
He sighed as he felt her hearts beat through her back. He froze when he felt a second heart beat. He said uncertainty "is the gaining of two hearts apart of the new life the TARDIS gave Rose?"
Rose frowned and asked "what do you mean two hearts, I don't have two hearts? Last time I checked humans did not have two hearts, Time Lord's yes, human's no."
The Doctor cleared his throat "ah, but Rose, your no longer human, that is what bothers me. You gave up your humanity to save me, and you succeeded.
If it had not been for you I would be dead completely, and would have not regenerated. And Jack would have remained dead as well."
He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. He looked clearly remorseful.
"You should have never looked into the TARDIS it was far too dangerous. If the TARDIS had not changed your genetic biology, then you would have been dead."
He added "I would be willing to bet, if I was to take you to the medical bay right now, and scanned you, then the results would more then likely reveal you to be a Time Lady."
The Doctor suddenly stumbled and grabbed hold of the TARDIS console. Without thinking Rose grabbed hold of the Doctor in concern.
She frowned when the Doctor breathed out deeply and a golden mist floated from his mouth.
Jack said "alright you two, let get you both down to the medical bay. I want to know if you two are going to be ok."
The Doctor added "yeah I need to do some tests on all three of us before either I or Rose go and pass out. I grantee you before along we will both pass out. It is apart of the regeneration process.
I've done this nine times I'm number ten; my previous self obviously was number nine. This is Rose's first time it will be more difficult for her then for me."
Rose asked puzzled and more then a little nervous "you mean in order to save me the TARDIS turned me Gallifreyan?"
The Doctor nodded "well, that's the general gist of it. You've regenerated Rose. Not to the drastic degree that I just have, because the TARDIS made you like this, but I was born a Gallifreyan."
The Doctor suddenly doubled over and yelled "AAAHHH" if it had not been for Rose he would have hit the floor.
More of the golden mist left his mouth. The Doctor said with a slight edge of panic to his voice "we better get up to the medical bay before I completely past out."
He added "I'll be no good to anyone for unknown amounts of time once I pass out and the after effects of the regeneration take over me."
He finished "oh and Rose, word of advice, you already passed out once already, I had to carry you in here.
It won't be the last time either; at least until you get over the regeneration and your immune system stabilizes."
So the three friends made their way up to the medical bay. The TARDIS arranged it so the corridors were not like the usual maze that was considered normal on the TARDIS.
She knew that two of the three friends were at risk of passing out at any given moment. Jack just hopped neither of his friends passed out before they reached the medical bay.
