"Where is your family?" Anna asked.

"Coming," Rose said as the TARDIS door opened and three people entered. "Lets do this."

"I can knock you into a normal state of sleep. It will be painless and waste much less time," Anna said. She held up her left hand and placed it on Rose's forehead. Not a second later, her eyes closed and her body went limp, falling into the arms of James, who dragged her to one of the rooms branching off from the main one(unintentionally picking the one that had been hers in the alternate reality).

"And this," the Doctor explained as they intered the room. "Is your room."

Roses eyes grew wide. "Its huge. It's almost the size of the whole loft!"

"Well, what did you expect. Your mother's been living in that thing for years. ITs tiny, don't know how she has room for her stuff and yours, let alone all the odds and ends of your fathers."

"What was all that about?" Martha asked, once it appeared that he was finished messing with the machine.

Before he could answer, an expression of pure pain crossed his face as he clutched his chest and fell to the ground.

"You are proof," the Cyberman said.

"Of what?" the Doctor asked.

"That emotions destroy you."

--

"Doctor?" Rose called out in her dream world. But her voice seemed to be silent, never reaching past her lips.

She searched around. It was a crowded room. A dance floor in Old England. Dozens of women in dresses three times te size of their bodies, Rose herself wearing a similar gown. She had been here before. Twice in reality, dozens of times in a dream. And every time the Doctor was standing in the doorway, watching her. But he wasn't there.

Rose ran over to the door, holding her dress off the ground.

"DOCTOR," she shouted down the hallways outside the ballroom. Nothing. She turned back to the crowded room in a panic.

She closed her eyes and thought about another hot spot in her dream world.

The factory. Where she and the Doctor had first met, when we're being chased by maniquens. He was always standing at the end of the long hallway. But he wasn't there either.

She called out his name a few times, just to be sure, before changing locations once more.

She was standing in the street. The same street that the Doctor would park the Tardis every time they returned. Exactly the same distance from her mothers loft and Mickeys shop, so that they could both her the chime of the TARDIS and come running to greet her.

But there was once again, no sign of the doctor.

'Where was he?' she asked herself.

Thats when she noticed a slip of paper floating toward the ground. She reached down to pick it up. She imediatly recognized the Doctors neat handwriting.

Rose Tyler,

I've sat by watching for almost four months now. Just watching, making sure you're going to be okay. I can't do it anymore. You don't know what its like, falling in love with someone you know is going to die generations before you yourself are even close to dying. You don't know how it feels wishing that forever, could just once actually mean forever. And I do. I wish ever second of my life that when you said that you would always choose me, that always would mean forever. But it can't. Because I'm a Time Lord and your a Human. And every day that I stand here watching you, it gets harder to forget you. Harder to forget the pain. You've changed me Rose. In so many ways, you've changed me. I never used to dance in the rain, or cook Thanksgiving dinner(probably never will again though). And Rose Tyler, if there is one thing I know about Time Lords, they don't cry. And I cried. I cried like a little girl whose puppy ran away from home. Everyday Rose, everyday, you make me feel a little more human.

Love always,

The Doctor

'So that was it,' she thought to herself. 'He just up and leaves. How dare he?'

--

"Well?" Anna asked as Rose sat up.

She shook her head. "He's gone."

"What do you mean 'Gone?'" Jackie asked.

"I mean, that since the day that I last saw him on Bad Wolf Bay, he has been in every dream. Every single one. just standing there watching me. And now he's gone," Rose exclaimed. She absently stuck a hand into her coat pocket. It was a moment before she realized what she was feeling. She pulled out the slip of paper.

"This is what he left me in the dream. He left it sitting were he normally is," she said.

Jackie snatched the paper from her hands to read it, while Anna and James tried to figure out a way to reach him.

"We cou... no that will never work," Anna.

"How 'bout-- nevermind," James said. And this is how it went on for ten minutes.

Until...

"What about me?" Rose asked.

"What?" Anna, James, Jackie, Pete and Mickey asked in unison.

"The Doctor can come to me in my dreams, why can't I do the same to him?"

James and Anna looked at each other for a moment.

"Well?" Rose asked after almost a minute of staring had passed.

"It takes a considerable amount of telepathic abilitys to acomplish," James started.

"I can accidentally appear in anyones dreams, as long as they are in this universe, but no matter how hard I try, I would never be able to connect with someone in another dimension, and that is the ability I was born with. Though ocationally I pop into The Doctors dreams...Well, I call them dreams, but they're really memories, thats how I knew about you sticking your head into the TARDIS," Anna explained. "I don't know how he manages to do it every night, I get drained just connecting with him for five minutes one night."

"And you have no telepathic abilitys to speak of," Pete pointed out.

"But the TARDIS," Rose began. "Doesn't the Tardis have telepatic powers, you know, to communicate with their occupants?"

Anna nodded, seeing her point.

"And mightn't I be able to tap into the babys powers?"

"What baby?" Jackie asked, suprised.

"Assuming that it has any Time Lord powers." James said. "But I'd say its worth the shot. What've we got to loose?"

"What baby?" Pete asked.

"We have to try," Rose said.

"WHAT BABY?" Jackie and Pete asked loudly and in unison.

"I'm pregnant," Rose said bluntly. "We'll talk about it later. Anna, do your thing."

Anna nodded and placed her hand on Roses forhead, causing her eyes to close and her head to fall back into the pillow behind her.
