Authors Note: Well everybody, this is it. The end of the road. I hope you like it and please review.

"Doctor?" Rose called out. "Doctor where are you?"

She was on the TARDIS still, though it seemed to be her TARDIS, seeing that several parts looked like they had been fixed with duct tape and Elmers Glue(the cure to everything except hunger, according to the Doctor. Though not quite as useful as the sonic screwdriver in the departent of opening doors.)

Thats when he came through the TARDIS door. Closely followed by a young woman.

'Martha,' Rose imediatly though. Then seconds later she realised something. 'How did I know that?' she asked herself.

"What are you doing in my head?" a familer voice asked. "And how did you get there?"

"Long story," she replied. Suddenly he was standing in front of her. She looked to her left to where he had been having a conversation with Martha. He was still there. Though, he had stopped moving and was in an almost catatonic state. Martha was waving a hand in front of his face, trying to get him to snap back into reality.

"We're in my subconsious mind, I'm not actually here," he explained, sensing her confusion.

"Oh," she said.

"What are you doing here?" he asked.

"You don't want me here?" Rose asked.

"Rose," he said, telling her what she already knew. That he did. More than anything.

"You can always stay," the Doctor told her, before he set the TARDIS to travel to its next location. "You can stay here on you little planet and forget about me."

It was one of the many times they had returned to her world, her time.

"Is that what you want?" she asked him. "You want me to leave and your just to polite to say it?"

"Rose," he said, showing her that it wasn't what he wanted.

"We think we can get back here," Rose began.

"Who is we?"

"Mum, Pete, Mickey, two of the workers at Torchwood," she lied.

"You're lying," he said. "I don't know what your lying about, but I know your lying."

"Okay, they don't work at Torchwood, but they don't want me to tell you who they are."

"Ever though that might be beacuse they are decieving you?" he said. "Who are they?"

Rose sighed. "Their names are Merianna Scott and James Bryan."

The Doctors eyes grew wider as she said the names.

"Dreamer and Seeker," he said. "They're dead."

"They thought the same about you. Have a TARDIS of their own. Newer model of a phone booth."

"They think they can hop universes with a TARDIS and two Time Lords? It'll never work. They can't possibly have enough power."

"They do. As long as you help. Our minds need to stay linked, though with both of us consious, to pull their TARDIS toward yours."

"Your pregnant," he said, completly skipping topics.

"Yes, I know," Rose said, growning slightly impatient. "Can we get back to the matter at hand?"

"No Rose, we can't!" he shouted, turning away from her and bangin his head on the wall of the TARDIS, his eyes jammed shut in an attempt to stop the tears.

"What?" she asked, slightly hurt. Had he moved on? Did he not want her back because he had Martha?

"What if it doesn't work?" he asked, turning back to face her, tears threatening to break free. "What if I let myself think that this is going to work, and it doesn't. Then I'll have to lose you all over again. I don't think I can handle it." A single tear rushed down the side of his face. "I can feel my heart break, every time someone says something that reminds me of you."

It was snowing. Well, not really snowing. It was Sycorax ash falling to the ground after Torchwood blew up their ship.

"All those planets... creatures and horizons... I haven't seem them yet! Not with these eyes..." the Doctor said. He held out his hand to Rose.

"That hand of yours still gives me the creeps," she said smiling and pointing at it.

Her grins back at her and wiggles his fingers.

She reached out and took his hand. And from that moment, he knew he couldn't be without her. Ever.

Rose reached her hand out to wipe the tear away, but he batted her hand away. Or tried to. His hand passed straight through hers, which was enough to make her drop her hand back to her side.

"Just break the link and go back to your happy life with.. whoever it is, Mickey maybe," he indicated to her stomach. "and forget me."

"Is that what you want?" she asked, her own eyes filling up with unshead tears. "You want the love of your life and your unborn child to leave you alone here? This is the last chance we have, and If you want me to leave, I will."

"What?" he asked, realizing what she had said.

"I'll leave, if its what you really want. But you'll never see me again. Not ever."

"No. Before that. What did you say?"

"This child, is not Mickeys, its yours."

The Doctors face fell from anger and sadness to an expression unreadable by Rose. Even his emotions in her head made no sence.

"Are we going to do this or not?" she asked him.

"You don't get it," he said. "I'm scared. I've battled Daleks and Cybermen and Sycorax and every other imaginable(and quite a few of the unimaginable) evil alien creatures in the universe. I'm a Time Lord for cryin' out loud. None of that scares me, not in the slightest. And I'm terrified. Not of man eating aliens. Of losing you. I don't know what I'll do if I have to go through that again. I don't think I can."

"Then we'll just have to make sure this works," Rose replied, holding out her hand.

He was hesatant for a moment, but then decided...

"Good luck Rose Tyler," he wished her before placing his palm in hers.

"Good luck Doctor," Rose smiled back at him before the surroundings changed.

--

The last thing she heard before waking from her dream state was the Doctor.

"Say hello to everyone for me."

"Did it work?" Anna asked as Rose sat up.

"Yes. He says hello."

"And you're still connected with him?" James asked as they went back into the main room.

"Barely. I can still feel him, but its faint. Like he's not all there."

"I'd say thats normal. You're quite far away and awake. If anything about this seemed remotely normal, I'd say its that."

"Rose--" Jackie started.

"Later, mum." she replied.

"Okay Rose, put your hand here," James said, pointing to a pannel. Rose recognized it as the pannel she had opened and absorbed the time vortex from.

"Its to connect you with the TARDIS. Lead her to the Doctor," James explained.

"Whose the father?" Jackie asked, apperently thinking that later ment twenty seconds leter. "Does he know?"

"LATER, mum!"

--

He had tried pulling her toward him with everything he had.

--

She pushed herself toward him as hard as possible.

But she could barely feel him. She could feel the heart of the TARDIS traveling through time and space. And she cound feel his faint pull.

But in the end is wasn't enough.

"He gone," Rose whimpered, clutching her chest as she fell to the ground. She had never felt so empty. She had thought the feeling of him being so faint she could barely feel it was bad. This was worse.

"I can't feel him at all."

--

"Doctor!" Martha exclaimed. "Whats happening?"

"She's gone," he said, not caring that she had no idea what was going on. He was now in an almost catatonic state, just staring at the wall behind her, a single tear running down his face. "It didn't work."

Suddenly there was a sound from outside.

Martha looked toward the doors, suprised to hear the sounds of a TARDIS.

"Doctor?" she asked him.

His eyes widened upon hearing the sound. Then a smile began to form. He jumped up and ran for the door, Martha not far behind him.

Just outside the blue police box TARDIS, was a red phonebooth TARDIS.

"YES!" he exclaimed, opening the door.

--

It was over. He was gone. She would never see him again. All because she wasn't strong enough to hold on to him.

Suddenly the TARDIS doors opened and a rush of emotion hit Rose like a bulldozer. Love, happiness, confusion, exstasy, hope.

Rose looked up to see the grinning figure of the Doctor standing in the doorway. Her face lit up like Chrismastime and she jumped up and ran into his arms.

"It worked!" she exclaimed, pulling away from the hug to kiss him.

"Rose Tyler," he said. "Before anything can interupt me, I lo--"

He was cut off by a loud explosion that shook the Earth beneath them.

The group looked out the still open TARDIS doors to see a large dragon-like creature reaking havok on the city.

The Doctor turned back to Rose. "Rose Tyler, I love you."

She laughed at his timing. "I love you, too." And she kissed him again.
