Dear doctor,

Today marks five months since the last time we've seen each other and I'm trying to be strong, I really am... But sometimes my emotions tend to engulf me and I feel like the longer I hold them in, the worse I'm going to feel. The distance that's between us is all but killing me, but my child, our child is enough to keep me going and writing these letters to keep you posted on every single detail of our lives seems to ease the pain.

Our child kicked me for the first time today and the happiness that consumed me is nothing short of the happiness that I have when I'm with you. She's the only part of you that I have left right now and if even for a single moment, it makes it seem as if you are here with me right now. I'm not sure what she will look like, or even who she will resemble, but regardless she will be a product of our love.

I met someone called the Master today, he seems to be nice and he's also a Time Lord, and I know that you always said that you were the last one of your kind... But now you're not alone.

You have him.

You have us.

It's time for me to sleep my doctor, I shall write to you soon.

I love you.

Rose.

Rose Tyler dropped the journal that she now kept beside her bed, and placed both of her hands on her now growing stomach where her daughter was kicking. It was as if her daughter could all but sense where her thoughts were headed and she was trying to comfort her. She knew that the child growing inside of her wasn't normal, she wasn't normal, and she had no idea what was bound to happen in the next seven months.

But she didn't care.

Rose knew that the only two things in this life that she wholeheartedly wanted was for her daughter to be born safely, and to get back to the only man she would ever love.

Both of these things would happen if she had any say in the matter.

Rose curled up on her bed, which just happened to be in the same room as it was on the Doctor's TARDIS. The Master, whoever he might be, seemed to know what he was doing when it came to things Rose thought only the Doctor knew, so she trusted him.

How could she not? If this man was a so called Time Lord, then he was apart of the Doctor and henceforth was a part of her. She couldn't and wouldn't treat him like he was someone she wasn't familiar with, even if she really wasn't familiar with him. She didn't know him personally, no, but the Doctor would trust him the moment he saw him.

Because he was a Time Lord, and therefore Rose trusted him with her life.

"Rose?" She heard the soft murmuring of his voice, before she actually recognized it was him. "Are you awake?"

Rose closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Yes, Master." She sat up and rubbed her eyes before climbing out of her bed and to the door. "I'm awake."

The master stood there behind her now open door, smiling as if he hadn't a care in the world. "Great! I brought you some tea, the TARDIS sensed that you might be missing a bit of your home so she whipped you up a cup of tea."

Rose laughed, shaking her head. "My mum used to make me tea all the time when I was younger." She took the warm cup from his outstretched hand and sipped it carefully.

It tasted just like home.

A home she was very capable of returning to, but she didn't want to see her mum right now, or Mickey, or anyone else who would try to convince her that getting back to the Doctor was impossible.

But was it impossible? Rose had seen many things and she'd watched the Doctor do the impossible, so she knew that even if it seemed impossible, it was always possible when it came to the mad man in the blue box.

"I'm assuming you like it then?" The master bounced on the ball of his feet as if he was a child, anticipating a present that he'd always wanted.

Rose smiled softly, coming out of her momentary reverie. "I do, thank you." She strolled past the Master and into the console room, giving it a once over as she reminisced on being back with her TARDIS. "The Doctor used to bring me tea that tasted just like this. It makes me... feel as if I'm with him somehow."

The Master looked at her sadly. "I promise you Rose Tyler, no matter what it takes I will find a way to return you and your daughter back to the Doctor."

Rose looked at him, her eyes filling with tears. "I believe you, I just...I don't see how it will ever work."

"Nothing is impossible as long as you set your mind to it." The master told her softly.

Rose nodded, shaking her head. She had just been thinking about that. "I do know, but what if I live the rest of my life looking for him and I never find him?"

The master looked at her curiously. "You seriously don't realize what's happening, do you?"

Rose scrunched her eyebrows up and frowned at him. "Am I supposed to?"

The master walked around the console and turned a few dials, pressed a few buttons and pulled a lever. There was a few momentary seconds of pause before Rose's Sonogram from earlier appeared on the screen on the console and her eyes instantly went to the Master's in confusion.

"Tell me what you see," the master murmured.

"My daughter..." Rose trailed off, eyeing the details of her daughter closely. "What am I looking for Master?"

The Master sighed and clicked another button before an image of Rose's Genetic prototype appeared. "Sometimes I forget you humans don't understand things the way Time Lords do."

Rose looked at him, "why are you showing me this?"

"Rose...you're changing." The Master told her, plain and simple. "You aren't humanly capable of giving birth to a Time Lady. Your body isn't strong enough and the further you get into your pregnancy, the more your body would begin to fail. You wouldn't be able to carry your daughter to full term, you would die before you even made it to your final due date."

Rose sucked in a deep breath as she felt the tears brimming on her cheeks, her eyes were glued to the image of her Genetics and for the first time since she found out she was pregnant, she was afraid. She wasn't afraid for her child, she wasn't even afraid that she'd never see the Doctor again, this time she was afraid for herself.

"I'm...going to die?" She whispered.

"Oi! Who said anything about that?" The Master questioned, astonishment coating his voice.

"But, you said-"

"What I said Rose Tyler, was that you were changing. I said that you weren't humanly capable of carrying a Time Lady. You, my dear, are not human."

"That makes no sense! Of course I'm human!" Rose cried, staring at him.

"You aren't." The Master walked around the console so that he was toe to toe with her. "You're daughter is changing you, she's making it possible for you to deliver her, and she's also giving you all of the qualities of a Time Lady."

Rose stared at him, completely stunned. "I'm... a Time Lady?"

"Now then, Mister Smith, a very good morning to you. How are you today?" A bald man questioned, the patient laying in the hospital bed.

The patient looked up at the bald man, his eyes shining. "Oh, not so bad. Still a bit, you know. Blah."

The bald man turned to Martha Jones, a medical student, and pointed to the patient. "John Smith, admitted yesterday with severe abdominal pains. Jones, why don't you see what you can find? Amaze me."

Martha glanced at John Smith, her eyes lighting up with instant recognition as she'd seen him only a few hours prior. "That wasn't very clever, running around outside, was it?"

John Smith looked at Martha, his eyebrow raised in confusion. "Sorry?"

"On Chancellor Street this morning? You came up to me and took your tie off." Martha told him, in a matter of fact tone. It had been him, that she was almost positive of. Martha knew she wasn't getting her facts wrong, him and the man from the street this morning looked exactly identical.

"Really? What did I do that for?"

"I don't know, you just did."

John Smith shook his head, "not me. I was here, in bed. Ask the nurses."

Martha shook her head, her thoughts running a million miles a minute. She was really confused now. "Well that's weird, cause it looked like you. Have you got a brother?"

"No, not anymore. Just me."

The bald man looked between the two babbling people and sighed. "As time passes and I grow ever more infirm and weary, Miss Jones."

"Sorry, right." Martha looms over Mister Smith and presses her stethoscope to the left side of his chest, then to the right listening to his hearts. Her face lights up in astonishment when she realizes that this man has two hearts.

Martha glances at the man in question and her heart quickens when he winks at her.

"I weep for generations. Are you having problems locating the heart, Miss Jones?" The bald man inquires in annoyance.

"Er, I don't know. Stomach cramps?" Martha replies, unsure of herself.

The bald man glares at her. "That is a symptom, not a diagnosis. And you rather failed basic techniques by not consulting first with the patients chart." He reaches for John Smith's chart and he instantly yanks his hand away as something shocks him.

"That happened to me this morning."

"I had the same thing on the door handle,"

"And me on the lift."

The bald man rolled his eyes at the comments made from other students. "That's only to be expected. There's a thunderstorm moving in and lightning is a form of static electricity, as was first proven by...Anyone?"

John smith looked up, grinning. "Benjamin Franklin."

The bald man looked between Mister Smith and the crew of medical students, Martha Jones included, surrounding him. "Correct."

John smith smiled. "My mate, Ben. That was a day and a half. I got rope burns off that kite, and then I got soaked..."

The bald man raised an eyebrow, "quite."

"And then I got electrocuted."

The bald man shook his head, "moving on. I think perhaps a visit from psychiatric. And next we have..."

Martha exchanges a small smile with John smith and walks away.

"I didn't say you were a Time Lady, I said that you had the qualities of one. This is the first time in Gallifrey history that I've ever seen anything like this."

Rose looked at him, her eyes still brimming with tears. "But that's impossible, I'm just a human."

The Master shook his head and looked her up and down, as if contemplating something. "Rose Tyler, you haven't been, 'just human' for awhile. You're genetic scan shows something much greater then that and I'm afraid that you having a Time Lady child has only triggered that."

Rose looked at him, still confused. "What exactly are you saying?"

"I'm saying... That Bad Wolf is returning Rose, and she is you, you are her."

The Doctor and Martha crouch low from the top floor of the hospital as they look on, watching the Judoon identify who is human and who isn't.

The Doctor grins and points downward. "Oh look down there, you've got a little shop. I like a little shop!"

Martha laughs and rolls her eyes. "Never mind that. What are Judoon?"

"They're like police. Well, police for hire. They're more like interplanetary thugs." The Doctor clarifies.

"And they brought us to the moon?" Martha queries, looking at the Doctor.

"Neutral territory. According to galactic law, they've got no jurisdiction over the Earth and they isolated it. That rain, lightning? That was them, using H2O scoop." The Doctor glances at her briefly before returning his attention the the scene unfolding before them.

"What are you on about, galactic law? Where'd you get that from? If they're police, are we under arrest? Are we trespassing on the moon or something?" Martha questioned confused and wanting answers from this so called Doctor beside her.

"No, but I like that. Good thinking. No, I wish it were that simple. They're making a catalog. That means they're after something non human, which is very bad news for me." The Doctor explained, quickly in that round about way of his.

"Why?" Martha looked at him and after a brief pause, her eyes widened. "Oh, you're kidding me. Don't be ridiculous. Stop looking at me like that."

The Doctor only grinned, "come on then!"

Rose sat on her bed and closed her eyes, trying to take in all of the information the Master had given her, but her mind was racing a million miles a minute. It felt almost impossible that anything he told her could possibly be true.

It couldn't be.

Nothing is impossible.

But in her heart, she knew it was true.

Her daughter had made her into somewhat of a Time Lady, and because she had looked into the heart of the TARDIS, that made her immortal.

The Doctor no longer had to live the rest of his life alone.

Because, she could now live the rest of her life with him.

"Think, think, think! If I was a plasmavore surrounded by police, what would I do? The doctor fidgeted, before his eyes landed on a sign that signified 'MRI'. "Ah. She's as clever as me... Almost."

In the distance, screams were heard and things began to crash. The Doctor glanced around, still trying to form a plan. He always had a plan, what was he supposed to come up with in a situation like this?

"Find the non-human. Execute!" A Judoon spoke monotonously.

The Doctor looked at Martha, his mind calculating. "Martha, stay here. I need time. You've got to hold them up."

Martha looked at this mad man, panicked. What was she supposed to do? "How do I do that?"

The Doctor glanced at her, his hearts beating a million miles a minute at the action that he was about to perform on this human girl. He couldn't fathom doing this with anyone else, he never wanted to kiss another woman when his hearts loved another.

Forgive me Rose Tyler, you will always be the only woman in my hearts.

The Doctor looked at her, his face pale, but he knew that for the sake of all humanity, that he had to do it. "Just forgive me for this. It could save a thousand lives. It means nothing. Honestly, nothing."

And he meant every word that he said.

The Doctor grabbed Martha's face in both of his hands, before pressing his lips firmly to hers.

His hearts were still beating and he closed his eyes, trying to picture her blonde hair, the feel of her arms wrapped around him as they hugged, the sound of her voice as she reminded him that everything was going to be okay, and most of all he tried to imagine that it was her he was kissing in this exact moment.

The Doctor pulls away after a long moment, before disappearing in the distance in a flash, already regretting what he'd just done.

"That was nothing?" Martha whispered, dazed.

The Master stood at the console in the middle of the TARDIS, his thoughts racing for the human in the other room, aboard his ship. It wasn't everyday that he came across an adventure that consisted of finding another Time Lord, and this adventure was one he wanted to see succeed.

He wasn't sure what was in store for him, now that Rose Tyler was aboard his ship, but one thing was for sure.

He definitely wanted to find out.

"Where are you Doctor?" He questioned, as he turned a few dials, the TARDIS whimpering in response.

"Oi! I know we don't get along, but you could at least help me out!"

She only purred in response as a destination appeared on the screen.

The Master grinned, "and off we go!"

The Doctor stood, staring into the night as the days past events flashed by him in an instant. He'd saved Martha and the entire hospital from the Judoon and he'd even gained a companion. Well, for one trip at least. Martha was incredibly brilliant, and he was glad to have her on board, he really was, but something felt off... Maybe it was because he missed her.

Rose Tyler was, and always would be apart of his life. He'd had many companions, all of them he loved and adored, but there was something about this pink and yellow human that he just loved. He couldn't exactly figure out what it was, but it was something about the way she smiled at him, the way she looked at him, and the way she made him feel.

But she was gone.

And he missed her so completely, that he thought it might kill him to even think about her.

But if he didn't think about her, how would he keep the memory of her forever locked into his mind?

He looked up at the moon and closed his eyes, trying to ignore his racing hearts, trying to erase her face from his mind, and trying so hard to forget his pain.

But he couldn't.

He couldn't erase the grin on her face as they helped yet another planet from impeding doom, and they completed yet another adventure. It was hard to forget the momentary happiness that the two of them both felt in moments like those, and it was especially hard to forget the words that Rose would always speak to him.

"You're never alone Doctor, there will always be people who love you." She'd smile in that way that only Rose Tyler could, and both of his hearts would melt all over again.

In those moments, just those few short seconds after another adventure, the Doctor allowed himself to love her.

But those moments had come to an end, and now he was left with nothing but the image of her face, her smile, her everything.

She was no longer nothing but a memory.

When the Doctor opened his eyes, the first thing he noticed was that the streets were covered in words that he hadn't noticed before.

Two words that could make or break the rest of his long existence.

Bad Wolf.
