AN: Hey guys, new chapter, thanks for the reviews. This ones kinda' short, but never mind.

The Doctor woke to find Rose still asleep and using his chest as a pillow. He was relieved to be awake again. Even though the darkness hadn't been as bad as last time, it was still bad. He had needed to rest though, and the little voice of reason was telling him that the sedative had been the best way.

Rose stirred, distracting the Doctor. He looked down at her, she still wasn't awake. Carefully he moved his arm to circle her sleeping form, his fingers tracing circles on her arm in an unconscious imitation of her earlier actions.

Jack entered the room, the relief on his face when he saw the Doctor was evident. "Oh good, you're awake"

"State the obvious" came the reply, accompanied by a quick grin.

"Awake and in your usual morning mood, getting back to normal then." Jack said, letting the Doctor's sarcasm slip by just this once.

"Kind of normal anyway" a brief shadow pass across the Doctor's face as he said this, which did not escape Jack's notice. The shadow disappeared when the Doctor looked down at the still sleeping Rose. Jack only smiled yet again, they were definitely in love.

Rose stirred again, this time waking up to find both the Doctor and Jack looking down at her. "What?" she demanded, still half asleep. Suddenly she seemed to remember what had happened the previous night and looked up at the Doctor. "Oh, you're awake"

"So glad I'm not the only one who states the obvious" laughed Jack.

"She's still half asleep, what's your excuse?" demanded the Doctor.

"He's just daft" came the slightly less sleepy input from Rose.

"Hey, what is it, 'pick on Jack day' or something?" the ex-time agent threw up his hands in mock anger and began to back away towards the door.

"Love ya' really Captain" Rose called after him as he turned to leave.

"Yeah right, sure ya' do" came the still mock angry reply. "Anyway, it's breakfast time and I'm starving. You two coming?"

"In a sec" Rose turned to face the Doctor. "How are you feeling anyway?"

"OK, ta"

"Good, well I'm gonna' get dressed" she stood up and stretched, not noticing the Doctor's eyes pass quickly over her body.

When she had gone, the Doctor sat for a while, contemplating what had passed between him and Rose. There was something there; it had been communicated through their different caresses. Also, the way he had just looked at her, OK, so when human males did that it just meant their eyes were open. But he wasn't human.

He shrugged off the thought and got out of bed.

Jack had used his newfound cooking skills to produce bacon sandwiches. He had been fascinated by cooking and everything to do with it, having come from a time where there was no need for humans to do their own cooking. He now took any chance he could get to make food.

As they finished breakfast, Rose threw a glance at Jack. He nodded and sat forwards in his chair. "So, Doctor, what was going on last night?"

The Doctor drew in a deep breath and let it out slowly, as though gathering his thoughts. Finally, he seemed to be ready, Rose noted that he had his serious face on, with no trace of the normal grin.

"The dreams I've been having for a few nights, it's to do with those."

"But if it's only dreams…" Rose couldn't stop herself from interrupting.

The Doctor waved his hand in am impatient gesture. "That's the thing though, their not only dreams. It's a connection with another mind." Seeing that both Rose and Jack looked confused, the Doctor carried on. "Oh yeah, I forgot, silly me, you humans wouldn't know. Ok, well Time Lords are telepathic. So, as well as communicating with other Time Lords, it allowed us to have mind links with each other."

"But there are no other Time Lords" it was Jack who interrupted this time.

"Yeah, thanks for reminding me Captain. But you don't understand this link isn't with a Time Lord"

"Then who?"

The Doctor sat back in his seat before replying. "Last time I saw her, her name was Bria."
