Second chapter! And of course I took a few liberties with Mrs. Watsons' name. I don't think it's mentioned anywhere (but if it is, please correct me).
"Hello, Mrs. Watson. I'm-"
"Rose Tyler, yes. You set up a little boy for adoption."
"Yes. This is my son, John. John Mickey Tyler."
Rose nudged John, her three-year-old son, to the other woman in front of them. "His father is with our daughter in the park. He hates goodbyes."
"Can't blame him." The other woman said sympathetically. She smiled at the little boy, holding out her hand. "Hi Jonny, I'm Helen."
"Go on," Rose whispered to her son. "Go to Miss Helen." John shook his head. Rose bent over and hugged the little boy. "I love you," she whispered.
"Mommy," John whimpered, clinging to his mother's business blouse. "Mama,"
"I don't know about this, Miss Tyler. Maybe I shouldn't take him." Helen Watson frowned. "He seems very attached to you." Rose smiled sadly. "He's only three; give 'im a few years, and you'll be 'Mummy'."
Mrs. Watson smiled at John. "You wanna come in?" She asked, keeping her voice soft. "I made biscuits." She coaxed. Looking up at his mother first, John went inside. Rose followed him with her eyes until he rounded the corner.
"I think it'd be best if I left now." Rose whispered. "I don't want things to be more complicated for you."
"Here's my number." Rose took a crisp, white business card from Mrs. Watson. "In case you want to check up on him."
Rose smiled. "Thank you. And good luck with John. I honestly hope he'll be one of the family from now on."
"Goodbye, Miss Tyler. Maybe I'll see you around."
"Bye. Try not to mention me or his father to him. It'll make it easier, I promise."
Rose turned around and left her son behind. She wiped away the tears, seeing her Doctor sitting on a bench as Elizabeth, their little girl, fed the pigeons quietly. "That was quick." He commented, noting a little redness in Rose's eyes. "Yeah," she muttered. "Nice and easy. Doctor, what do we do with Elizabeth? We can't keep her, you know that. Where do we take her?"
"I've been looking, but I'm not sure if we can get there."
"If it's possible, let's get there."
"It's basically in a different universe. Even if we could get there, we'd never see her again."
Rose held her daughter and stared into her big green eyes. "As long as she's safe," Rose said quietly. "If she's safe, then...then I- I'm fine."
The Doctor hugged Rose. "I'm sorry Rose. I'm sorry this ever happened."
"Don't say that." Rose said. "Don't you dare apologize for giving me two little miracles, and the best four years of my life. I knew I wouldn't be able to keep them- I planned on it. I'm sorry I won't be able to see them grow up, but I am not sorry for having them at all."
"Let's get back to the TARDIS then." The Doctor muttered. "And get this little girl to her family."
"I hate goodbyes," Rose snuffled.
Don't we all.
Me: Evil Panda here. I'm not sure if I should keep Nicole (Camelot) and Elizabeth (Tulip) out, but they're pretty funny, so I guess they'll be staying. What can I say, they're practically family. Also, visitors ("guest speakers" if you will) will be in underline text. Just so you know.
Tulip: Hey guys! Man, EP, that was actually a pretty sad chapter. I hope not all of them are like this.
Camelot: Oh, you should see what she has in for future chapters!
Me: Camelot, you're not supposed to go looking through my stuff! That was private!
Camelot: Hey, you were sleeping. Not my fault your iPod wasn't locked.
Tulip: Cammie (because it's a long name, EP locks her iPod every night. How could you have gotten onto it?
Camelot: *grins* I have my ways. to readers Don't forget to review!
