Better With Two (The Bad Wolf Stories)

Chapter 7

By: Dame Rose Tyler

I know, I can here the complaints and exclamations of "about time" in the background. I just haven't really had the "Muse" until recently. So I went though and re-read what I wrote so I can have at least some form of sense in this story. I also hope to try and update some of the others ones. So, if this chapter is a little short I'm sorry it will take me a bit to get re acquainted with this story. Now then. Here it is!

Dame Rose Tyler

Rose smiled at Jege as she reached his Tardis, her bag hanging from her shoulder.

"You know, it is so nice to have access to trans-dimensional bags. Makes things like packing for a trip so much easier and the bag is so light."

Jege laughed and waved her into the Tardis.

"The council says we can visit for awhile, they figure its time someone from our planet take up resident there on a regular basis, so I volunteered."

Rose smiled, "You'll like it, promise."

Jege nodded and started the demilitarization process. Rose of course smiled as she watched him fly around the console. It was weird when she thought of how long it had actually been since she had seen her mother. Of course for them, if Jege proved to be a better driver then the Doctor it had only been a few days.

Once Rose felt the bump of the Tardis landing, she ran to the door. Thrusting it open she was greeted by her mother, a bone crushing hug and happy tears. Pete and Micky were there smiling in the background. They waved at Jege before claiming Rose into their own hugs.

Mickey was of course the first one to ask the question they all really wanted to ask.

"So, how long has it been for you?"

Rose smiled and winked.

"A lady never tells her age."

Jege doubled over in laughter.

"She was right about you Mickey. Told me you where going to be the first to ask."

Rose sighed and punched Jege in the arm. Jege reached up and rubbed his arm, the smile never leaving his face. If mickey didn't know any better he would have figured this man was this universes version of the captain.

"Well, you didn't have to tell 'him' I said it now did you?"

Rose turned her glare from Jege, "If you must know mickey its been about two-hundred or so years."

Before Mickey could ask more Rose raised her hand and continued.

"And no, I'm not giving you the exact number. Just live with the disappointment."

Mickey grunted and walked back towards Pete's house. Jackie decided it was time to catch up with her daughter. Walking up to Rose she placed her arms around her shoulders and steered her towards the house.

"Welcome home dear, now tell me all about this school and things I've heard."

Rose smiled and reached into her bag pulling out a book.

"Here ya go, did you one better, Pictures!" Rose smiled as she handed it to her mother.

Who took it with glee and pulled Rose towards the house talking animatedly about the pictures.

Rose put her bag down by the door and walked around the house, stopping when she reached the door to her room. Jege glanced at her from the hall in front of the guest room.

"You gonna make it there Rose?"

Rose sighed,turning she smiled at Jege, "Of course, because in the end its all worth it."

Disappearing into her room, Rose made to get ready for dinner, in which her mother had insisted on fixing her. It was a small quite dinner and Rose was glad it was over. Of course she loved her mother, but after two-hundred and sixty-five years, she was ready to go home.

Jege smiled at her,urging her though the Time-lord bond to tell them her news. Rose sighed and nodded.

"I am to be granted a Tardis."

The conversations around her stopped as they all turned to look at her. Pete of course just smiled.

"So, I take it that means you can get back to the Doctor?" Rose nodded to Pete before turning to face her mother.

"That also means I can come and visit with you too. They granted me a trans-dimensional Tardis."

Jackie smiled,"So you can still visit?"

Rose nodded and gripped her moms hand.

"The thing is, I can't visit you frequently in my own time line. I'll visit frequently in yours though."

Jackie's smiled faltered before she realized what Rose was saying. She wanted to make sure she could visit as long as she lived.

"I understand sweetie. You take your time and visit me when ever you want."

From that point the conversation became light, and laughter rang though Pete's house. After several hours they all retired to their rooms. Tomorrow Rose and Jege would meet with Torchwood to explain why Jege was going to be making extended visits.

Sorry, like I said its going to be a short update. I actually only stopped because I have to get my kids ready for school. This chapter I guess is mostly for my own benefit and proves as a recap for those of you who still read it.
