A/N: Sorry for the wait guys. We hit a road block but we are working to get back on track. Here is my cousin's chapter for you.

Dear Doctor,

Today... today seemed easier, I didn't think of you as much as I usually tend to. My heart feels as if it's no longer in the vacancy of my chest though, it feels as if you've taken it with you and I don't know how, nor do I want to, to find it. The adventures that we had together will forever be memories that I cherish, they gave me you, and you are my reason for living.

I love you my Doctor, and our daughter does to, even if she doesn't know it yet. I will tell her stories, stories of a mad man in a blue box, saving people no matter where he goes. I will tell her of the love that he gives to each and every one of his companions, and most importantly, I will tell her that this compassionate and amazing mad man, is her faher.

I wish you were here, Doctor, so that you could see the blooming of our child inside of my stomach. It is maginificient to see each step in my pregnancy, however abnormal it is, it is still the love that we created. She is the proof that our love will continue to bloom, and I will never take that for granted.

I leave you with my heart Doctor.

For now, I will tell you that I love you, no matter how many galaxies away you are.

Rose

"It's so beautiful here." The doctor murmured in her ear as they both lay side by side on the top of a building in France, 1863. The Tardis had taken the two of them here, only to discover an ailen that had been here for two hundred years, waiting to unleash its destruction. The Doctor of course, has managed to tame it and send it back to it's intergallactic territory. Afterwards, he'd asked Rose on a date, now here they were... on a date.

A date that Rose was sure didn't really mean a date to him, because the Doctor didn't do dates.

He was the Doctor.

Rose laughed, her tongue sticking out between her teeth. "It is, I wish we could stay like this for the rest of our lives." She closed her eyes and let herself get lost in the moment, the moment that belonged to her and the Doctor only. It made time stand still and it made her feel as if she was on top of the world, her and her doctor standing together against time itself.

"Time doesn't pause Rose, we only have the here and now." The Doctor smiled as he turned his head to stare at the pink and yellow human laying beside him.

"Oi! Don't ruin this moment for me Doctor, otherwise I might have to..." Rose opened her eyes and grinned as she looked at the Doctor. "I have an idea!"

The Doctor raised an eyebrow, "and what would that be?"

Rose giggled and stood to her feet, her pink heels clicking against the concrete. "Dance with me." She smiled and held out on her hands to him.

The Doctor laughed and took her hand. "Only once more Rose Tyler, I have two left feet, remember?"

Rose wrapped her arms around his neck as his hands came about her waist. "Maybe I should call Jack then, he could show you a thing or two about dancing..."

"Oi!"

Rose winked at him and laid her head on his shoulder, getting lost in the silence, knowing that dancing with no music was impossibly hard. But Rose enjoyed the silence, she enjoyed the moment with the Doctor, knowing that whatever was between them relationship wise, might have to come to an end, very, very soon.

"Doctor, I-

Rose sat up quickly, the bulge in her stomach making it extremely hard to maneuver and she ended up laying sideways, her hand resting on her stomach. Tears began to stream down her face as she recalled that memory so vividly of her time with the Doctor.

"I need you Doctor... Where are you?" Rose whispered in the silence.

"Where are you?" She repeated, sobs slowly racking her body as her thoughts of the Doctor consumed her emotions, and she let free the tears that she'd been holding onto.

"Just one trip. That's what I said. One trip in the Tardis, and then home. Although I suppose we could stretch the definition. Take one trip into the past, and one into the future! How do you fancy that?" The Doctor grinned at Martha, his eyes twinkling at a chance to show her more of the universe that she had yet to see.

"No complaints from me!" Martha told him, her heart beating faster at seeing the twinkle in his eye.

"How about a different planet?"

"Can we go to yours?" Martha looked at him, hopefully.

"Ah, there's plenty of other places." The Doctor replied, avoiding her prying gaze.

"Come on, though. I mean, planet of the Time Lords. That's got to be worth a look. What's it like?"

The Doctor looked at his questioning companion. "Well, it's beautiful, yeah."

"Is it like, you know, outer space cities, all spires and stuff?"

"I suppose it is."

Martha grinned, her mind was racing with all of the possibilities that could be the steup of the planet of the Time Lords. "Great big temples and cathedrals!"

The Doctor only looked at her and simply said, "yeah."

"Lots of planets in the sky?" Martha continued with her questions, her eyes dancing with excitement.

"The sky's a burnt orange, with the Citadel enclosed in a mighty glass dome, shining under the twin suns. Beyond that, the mountains go on forever. Slopes of deep red grass, capped with snow." The Doctor let his thoughts travel back to a time that he wanted to forget, to a place that only caused him pain to think about.

"Can we go there?" Martha piqued, looking at the Doctor.

"Nah. Where's the fun for me? I don't want to go home. Instead, this is much better. Year five billion and fifty-three, planet New Earth. Second hope of mankind. Fifty thousand light years from our old world, and we're slap bang in the middle of New New York. Although, technically it's the fifteenth New York from the original, so it's New New New New New New New New New New New New New New York. One of the most dazzling cities ever built."

Rose stood with bated breath in front of her mother's house, her heart beating a million miles a minute. It seemed silly that she would be nervous to see her mother, especially since they had spoken on the phone and all was well. Rose couldn't help it though, she wasn't the same Rose Tyler that she had been before.

She was different now, and she only hoped that her mother understood that.

"Rose!" Mickey, her ex boyfriend and longtime friend called from the front porch, the door now hanging wide open. "You're home!"

Rose laughed and a tear formed around the rim of her eye at seeing her best friend. "Mickey!"

Mickey grinned and ran from the porch, his sole intention being to bring Rose into his arms and never let her go. His affections for her had clearly run dry, but he still loved her like a sister with all his heart and soul. "You silly girl! You can't have rung earlier could you? You had to go and make us all worry about you!"

Rose laughed as Mickey reached arms length and she eased herself into his arms, her baby bump making it a awkward hug. "Oi! You haven't aged a day!"

Mickey rolled his eyes. "You've gotten fatter, I see!"

Rose pulled away and hit him in the arm playfully. "Pregnant does not make me fat!"

Mickey just laughed and wrapped his arm around her shoulder as he led her into the Tyler home and Rose felt like she had never left.

"Rose!" Peter, her father but not father, called brightly from the kitchen where he was currently fixing dinner. "I'm so glad you're home! Your mum will be so happy to see you!"

Rose smiled, "oh-

"Pete! How many times have I told you that I hate the smell of anchiovies! Why are you whipping up something with the awful smell of-" Rose laughed as her mother began her constant rant of ongoing complaints. "I need tea! Bring me some tea!"

"Jackie-"

"Bring me some tea, now!" Jackie cried, her voice raising to an all to familiar octave.

"Mum, I can bring you some tea!" Rose called back, still laughing.

There was silence from whatever room Jackie was vacating and in the next instant Rose was met with the familiar face of her mother, blonde hair and all. The only difference, Rose noticed, was that her mother was very much pregnant. "Rose!"

"Mum!" Rose cried, breaking free of Mickey's arm and running, or more wobbling, into her mothers outstretched hands. "I missed you mum, so much!"

Jackie laughed, tears of her own leaking down her cheeks. "I missed you to, my dear sweet girl. Even if it seemed like I didn't, you're my daughter after all, I could never stop loving you. No matter what."

Rose sniffled and pressed her face into her mothers shoulder, embracing the familiar warmth that Jackie radiated. "I love you."

"And I you, my sweetie pie." Jackie pulled away and brushed the tears from Rose's cheeks. "More then you will ever know."

Rose smiled and took her mothers hand in hers, an unspoken thought passing between the two of them. Words of apology and love that a mother held for her daughter and a daughter held for her mother.

"How about a round of tea?" Pete questioned, trying to brighten the emotional atmosphere.

Rose looked at Pete and smiled, "you have no idea how good that sounds. I've missed the tea that my mum makes."

Jackie smiled. "Well then I shall get to brewing!"

And with that, all seemed well in the Tyler household.

Martha looked around at the scenery before her and she frowned, having come to the conclusion that this place they were vacating was terribly familiar. "Well, it looks like the same old Earth to me, on a Wednesday afternoon."

The Doctor looked at her in that way of his, the way that indicated that he was scolding her with his eyes. To Martha, it seemed, the Doctor was the only one that could pull this off. "Hold on, hold on. Let's have a look!" He told her, enthusiastically.

Martha and the Doctor stopped walking and the Doctor pulled out his sonic screwdriver, which he used for just about everything. Except wood, the utensil seemed to dislike wood because it never worked.

The Doctor walked up to a computer monitor that appeared to be broken and used his sonic screwdriver to repair it.

A womans face appeared on the screen and both Martha and the Doctor watched with careful eyes.

"And the driving should be clear and easy, with fifteen extra lanes open for the New New Jersey expressway." Her voice seemed energetic and Martha wanted to hurl, although she didn't know why.

Martha scrunched her eyebrows up when she was met with a picture of flying cars. It was very odd.

"Oh that's more like it. That's the view we had last time. This must be the lower levels, down in the base of the tower. Some sort of under-city." The Doctor stated, his eyes brightening.

Martha shook her head in disappointment. "You've brought me to the slums?"

"Much more interesting. It's all cocktails and glitter up there. This is the real city." The Doctor replied.

Martha rolled her eyes, "you'd enjoy anything."

The Doctor only grinned. "Thats me! Ah, the rain's stopping. Better and better."

Martha tilted her head to the side, recalling a phrase the Doctor had spoken only moments ago. "When you say last time... was that you and Rose?"

The Doctor stiffened and he felt his hearts beating faster and he recalled his favorite pink and yellow human. He could remember every detail about her and he knew that no matter how long he lived, how many galaxies or universes that he saw, he would always remember her.

His hearts refused to forget her.

"Er, yeah. Yeah it was, yeah." The Doctor whispered quietly.

Martha felt her stomach plummet and the hurt that she felt began to pool in her heart. She couldn't believe that the Doctor would take her to the same place that he had taken his previous companion. "You're taking me to the same planets that you took her?" Martha voiced her thoughts, hurt still consuming her.

The Doctor narrowed his eyes at Martha Jones, his hearts hardening at the clear insult she was throwing his way. "What's wrong with that?" He queried.

Martha swallowed her emotions and shook her head. "Nothing. Just... ever heard the word rebound?"

The Doctor opened his mouth to reply, to set her straight, but before he could, a man appeared from the stall in front of them.

"Oh! You should have said. How long have you been there? Happy. You want happy."

Rose closed her eyes, her mother's soothing hands brushing the hair from her face. "I'm at a loss, mum. I just miss him so much."

Jackie Tyler leaned forward and pressed a soft kiss to her daughters forehead. "Love is never easy, my love."

"But it's never this hard either." Rose whispered, her heart aching for her Doctor once more.

Jackie didn't reply, she only held her daughter close, hoping that one day her daughter would fully be happy.

Even if it was with the man she so despised.

The Doctor stared sadly at the familiar face of his friend and his hearts cried for the death that was sure to come. He was incredibly heartbroken that the Face of Boe had waited for him, all this time.

"Doctor." The Face of Boe cried out quietly.

"The Face of Boe!" The Doctor chirped happily, trying to rid himself of the grief that had consumed him only moments before.

"I knew you would come." The Face of Boe stated matter of factly.

Hame, the cat who he and Rose had encountered the last time, looked regretfully at the Doctor. "Back in the old days, I was made his nurse as penance for my sin."

The Doctor ignored her and focused his attention solely on his dying friend. "Old friend, what happened to you?"

The Face of Boe said but one thing. "Failing."

Hame looked at the Doctor sadly. "He protected me from the virus by shrouding me in his smoke. But with no one to maintain it, the City's power died. the under-city would have fallen into the sea."

The Doctor smiled at his old friend. "So he saved them."

Hame nodded. "The Face of Boe wired himself into the mainframe. He's giving his life force just to keep things running.

The Doctor frowned. "But there are planets out there. You could have called for help."

"The last act of the Senate was to declare New Earth unsafe. The automatic quarantine lasts for one hundred years."

The Doctor looked at the two of them with admiration. "So the two of you stayed here, on your own for all these years."

Hame nodded, "we had no choice."

The Doctor shook his head in disagreement. "Yes you did."

The Face of Boe closed his eyes and groaned quietly. "Save them, Doctor. Save them."

Rose rubbed her belly gently as she laid on her bed and imagined what life with the Doctor would be like if they hadn't been separated. It was incomprehensible to her that she could no longer see herself on the Tardis, flying through universes with her one and only madman.

"I can't see you anymore Doctor, you're fading." Rose whispered, tears pooling in her eyes.

"You will see him again, Rose Tyler. I promise you that." The Master told her from her doorway, which she'd only just realized he was standing at.

"How?" She questioned.

"Hope," he answered. "All you need is hope and I promise you that I will find a way to get you back to him. You and your daughter both."

Martha stood stock still as she stared at what appeared to be a face in a glass jar. Her head was still reeling from the days events and now she was trying to comprehend exactly what it was she was seeing.

"It's the Face of Boe. It's alright. Come and say hello. And this is Hame, she's a cat. Don't worry. He's the one who saved you, not me." The Doctor spoke to her, his eyes pleading with her to understand.

"My Lord gave his life to save the city, and now he's dying." Hame, who Martha now knew was the cat, spoke sadly.

The Doctor smiled gently. "No, don't say that. Not old Boe. Plenty of life left."

Martha looked at the Doctor, her eyes full of questions. "Who is he?"

The Doctor looked at the Face of Boe and shook his head. "I don't even know. Legend says the Face of Boe has lived for billions of years. Isn't that right? And you're not about to give up now."

The Face of Boe looked at the Doctor, seriously. "Everything has it's time. You know that, old friend, better then most."

The Doctor nodded, every face of a lost friend, all of the Time Lords and every companion that he ever lost flashing before his eyes. He knew all too well what the Face of Boe meant.

"The legend says more." Hame spoke up.

"Don't. There's no need for that." The Doctor told her, his voice hardening.

"It says that the Face of Boe will speak his final words to a traveller."

The Doctor only nodded. "Yeah, but not yet. Who needs secrets, eh?"

The face of Boe looked at the Doctor, his old friend. "I have seen so much, perhaps too much. I am the last of my kind, as you are the last of yours, Doctor."

The Doctor felt his hearts clench. "That's why we have to survive. Both of us. Don't go."

"I must," the Face of Bose said sadly. "But know this, Time Lord... You are not alone... She is returning, old friend. The one that you seek, the bad wolf, is returning Doctor."

Before the Doctor had a chance to even question what the Face of Boe had just told him, the Face of Boe closed his eyes and took one last breath before he was finally at peace.
