"What the hell do you mean Bad Wolf!?" The Doctor yelled jumping to his feet over to Rose before she had time to blink. The fury in his eyes completely masking whatever worry he was feeling.

"Listen, just relax, yeah?" Rose asked taking his hand in hers pulling him to sit next to her. She hadn't liked the way he towered over her.

"Relax? Relax!? Rose Tyler if there is one thing I am not going to do it is relax." The Doctor told her though he didn't pull his hand from hers. He merely tightened his grip pulling out his sonic giving her a quick scan just to be safe.

"Just let me explain." Rose told him gently lowering the sonic that buzzed in her face. The doctor looked apprehensive clearly wanting to keep sonicing her, but he gave the faintest of nods anyways lowering the screwdriver.

"After the other you died I got a little depressed-"

"I'm not going to like where this is headed am I?" The Doctor muttered tightening his grip on her hand.

"Not really, But you still wanna know yeah?" Rose questioned.

"Yeah." He confirmed though he could already feel the guilt welling up, a bit of despair creeping in.

"Well, after you died I got depressed. I didn't think it was worth living in a universe without you in it and I kinda sort of maybe tried to off myself." Rose admitted speaking as quickly as she could.

"What?" The Doctor whispered horrified. "Rose, no! How could you-"

"Shh, I'm alive, everything's fine just let me finish explaining yeah?" Rose hushed him raising her free hand to cup his cheek gently. Her thumb stroking softly against his skin. The Doctor placed the screwdriver on the bed grabbing onto the hand on his cheek closing his eyes, kissing the palm of her hand then placed it back leaning into her touch nodding at her to keep going.

"Well, when I went to...you know, something happened or well, Bad Wolf happened. At first I felt the pain in my chest, warm sticky blood, the normal human reaction to getting stabbed in the heart-"

"Hang on? You stabbed yourself in the heart? Rose Tyler that is a rubbish way to go." The Doctor protested.

"It's where the pain was coming from so I thought it would be as good a spot as any." Rose said defensively.

"No, no it's a terrible spot. No spot is a good spot. I am very worried about your mental health. You should have a check up." The Doctor went to sonic her again, but Rose grabbed it from him.

"Doctor enough. Relax, I'm not gonna do it again. I'm with you now, there'd be no point." Rose told him.

"But how are you still here if you..broke your heart open like that." The Doctor frowned.

"Like I was saying before you so rudely interrupted, I felt pain in my chest and everything but then it felt like my head was on fire and I started to see these wisps of gold then everything just went black. When I came to it was two days later and I was completely healed without a single scratch on me." Rose recalled grimly. Before she could tell him anything else the Doctor pulled Rose to his chest and hugged her as tightly as he possibly could.

"Never ever ever do something like that again."

"Doctor..." Rose trailed off.

"I mean it, I don't know what I'd do if I lost you again. Rose Tyler I-" The Doctor cut himself off those three little words getting stuck in his throat. "You are the most important thing to me in this entire universe do you understand that? You're life matters, you matter to me, more than anything else."

"More than Gallifrey?" The question had been asked sarcastically no real seriousness in the blonde's tone, but The Doctor gave her an answer anyways. He had to be sure that she knew, even if he couldn't say it. He may never be able to say it, but he loved her with both his hearts.

"More than Gallifrey, more than the Tardis, more than the universe and more than the stars themselves." The Doctor listed making Rose go wide eyed.

"But- you can't be serious, I was only kidding." Rose shook her head slightly.

"I know, but you still deserved an answer." The Doctor replied.

"You can't mean that." Rose denied.

"But I do." The Doctor replied earnestly.

"Doctor-" Rose objected obviously about to protest his declaration.

"Don't Doctor me, Rose Tyler. The universe just isn't the same without you in it. I've been driving myself mad missing you. I know I've regenerated, so there's a possibility your feelings for me have changed, but I swear on all of my lives past and future that I truly love you with both my two hearts." The Doctor vowed placing a light kiss on her forehead.

Rose laughed shaking her head. The Doctor frowned. No, she wasn't supposed to laugh at his speech. He was trying to be romantic, profess his love. Why was she laughing? It confused him to no end.

"You-you idiot!" Rose exclaimed through her laughter.

"What? What did I say?" The Doctor questioned a bit upset at her laughing.

"You think I love you any less because you regenerated? Oh you daft old man. I love you no matter what form your in, she will to." Rose smiled.

"She?" The Doctor frowned in confusion.

"Bad Wolf." Rose clarified.

"Nope, still not getting it." The Doctor frowned.

"I'll just let her explain." Rose sighed pulling out a small switchblade from her pocket. Before the doctor could react she dragged it across her hand a hiss of pain leaving her lips.

"Rose!" The Doctor instantly freaked out grabbing her wrist, but he had been too late the damage already done. The Doctor watched Rose in something caught between fascination and horror. A gold light swirled in Roses eyes no iris able to be seen, but then the light died down and he could see her eyes again as they were only glowing a softer golden hue her real eye color hidden just underneath.

"Don't worry Doctor, she's just fine." Bad Wolf soothes wiping the bloodied knife on her jeans before folding it placing it back in the pocket. Then she dragged her pointer finger along the cut Rose had made just moments before, a gold stream of glitter looking energy streaming from her fingertip. The cut sealing up, her skin repairing as if the cut had never been there.

"I took you out of her, you shouldn't exist now." The Doctor frowned.

"Well that's just rude. Is that really how you greet me now adays? Last time I got a quite the kiss." Badwolf teased.

"I never greeted you with a kiss." The Doctor frowned.

"Greetings, goodbyes, it is so very hard keeping them all straight. I always mix those up, but does it really matter? Because that was some kiss Doctor." Bad Wolf smirked.

"That kiss was for Rose! Not you!" The Doctor glared.

"But I am Rose Tyler."

"No, your not. Rose tyler is human, and while you may be in a human body your are anything, but that. Rose Tyler is all pink and yellow, you're golden and wolfy. I could go on and on about the variations, but I want my Rose back right this instant." The Doctor demanded.

"Silly Doctor, your acting as if I'm holding her captive."

"Aren't you? Suppressing her inside of her own mind until she burns?" The Doctor accused.

"If she dies then so do I. I'm a part of her. The part that keeps her living." Bad Wolf told him.

"What does that mean?" The Doctor demanded.

"It means she would be dead without me and you should be a little more grateful." Bad Wolf replied crossing her arms.

"Suppose you're right, and you aren't killing Rose, but keeping her alive as you say you are. The question is why? Why would a being as powerful as yourself choose to keep Rose alive instead of just killing her off and taking the body for your own?"The doctor questioned her. He really didn't trust bad wolf all that much. Bad wolf always meant the end of something.

"Because, that's not how it works Doctor aren't you listening? We're connected, if she dies then so do I. I only exist in her mind, once Rose goes so do I. I create myself yes, but I only exist through her."

"So, you need her to survive?" The Doctor asked.

"We both need each other." Bad Wolf replied.

"Then why aren't you burning her up like last time? Rose is only human, she can't handle that kind of power, no one can. " The Doctor insisted.

"I let you remove the excess energy that she couldn't handle." Bad Wolf replied with a grin.

"The excess!? But the heart of the tardis has a remnant of huon particles those are highly dangerous to humans. Donna survived it, but oh. Oh...Oh!" The Doctor jumped up slamming his palm to his forehead.

"Now, your getting it." Bad Wolf laughed with a nod.

"Of course! That's how you got in! The huon particles in your system. Just like Donna on her wedding day, well almost wedding day, but that still doesn't explain how you got across the dimensions." The Doctor pointed out.

"The cracks, the cracks in the universe Doctor. You sealed them up, remade the universe." Bad Wolf reminded.

"Yes, so? What of it?" The Doctor questioned with a wave of his hand.

"So, we took advantage. Both universes were at risk, the echoes of your tardis's explosion seeped through into other dimensions. The radiation was particularly terrible in the dimension we were stuck in. Rose figured you were going fix it because you always do. So, we had to act fast. Since the two worlds were already dying we waited for the right moment and crossed over using the space canon. Once you reset the universe all the damage that we would have caused crossing over was fixed."

"But that was weeks ago! What the hell were you doing during that time?" The Doctor glared.

"It was a few weeks for you maybe, but for us, minutes. What is it you always say to Rose? Wibbly timey wobbly wimey? No that's not right." Bad wolf shook her head.

"Wibbly wobbly timey wimey." The Doctor corrected.

"Ah that's it!" Bad wolf snapped her fingers. "Any other questions Doctor?"

"How come you never showed yourself sooner? Rose's life has been in danger countless times after facing the daleks."

"In danger yes, but not injured or dying. A wolf protects it's own, Doctor. You ought to remember that." Bad wolf warned.

"I'd like Rose back now." The Doctor told her.

"Only because you asked nicely. I'll see you later, Doctor." Bad wolf smirked. The gold faded from her eyes and Rose was back in control again.

"Did she answer your questions alright?" Rose asked him.

"She explained how you got on the tardis and into our dimension and let me tell you," The Doctor began Rose biting her lip thinking he might scold her for being so reckless yet again, but he was quick to quell her worry. "Your brilliant, Rose Tyler. Absolutely brilliant!" The Doctor grinned hugging her tightly. Rose hugged him back resting her chin on his shoulder.

"Doctor!" Amy's frantic scream echoing through the tardis halls broke apart the tender moment.

"Who was that?" Rose questioned eyes widened as she jerked away from the Doctor's chest.

"My companion, well one of them, I have two, married couple, the ponds, very nice. Cmon, We have to see what the fuss is about." The Doctor grabbed her hand pulling her to the door.

"Hang on, aren't they going to question how I got in here?" Rose asked.

"No, well yes, well we'll deal with that later. The fact of the matter is Rose Tyler I am not letting you out of my sight for the next Millenia." The Doctor told her.

"Only a millenia?" Rose questioned arching a brow as the Doctor led the way hurriedly down the hall Rose's hand clutched tightly in his own.

"You're right a millenia is a little soon. Make that two millenia, a couple centuries, and a day." The Doctor grinned as Rose pulled him out of the room.

"Doctor!" This time it was Rory who screamed his name and Amy let out a terrified shriek. The Doctor sped up down the hall finally reaching the console room.

"Amy! Rory! What's wrong!?" The Doctor questioned bounding down the stairs Rose at his side. The Doctor assessing the couple for any injuries and seeing none as Amy clung to Rory obviously scared.

"Oh my God, Doctor. Over there! " Rose breathed as she caught sight of what had terrified the couple so thoroughly. She pointed to the railing that was opposite Amy and Rory.

"What?" The Doctor breathed out his eyes widened, his mouth dropped open. The only thing keeping him from bolting away was Rose's hand keeping him grounded.

"What's up, Doc? I see you already found Rosie." Captain Jack Harkness grinned as he kneeled on the floor his body smoking slightly. His right arm hung over the gold railing. His telltale coat dirtied slightly, but that was nothing the tardis wouldn't be able to fix later.

"What!?" The Doctor repeated clearly in shock.

And that was ch 3! Tell me what you think in the comments and stay tuned for ch 4!
