Part 4

I'm sorry; I'm going with Theta Sigma. Since I found out that it was his 'nickname' in the Academy… and who am I to go against truth? –shifty eyes- right. Theta Sigma it is.

Jack, the Doctor, Rose and Jackie all walked to Jackie's flat, Rose and Jackie eagerly talking about wedding plans.

"What do we do for this?" Rose asked. "What do we do for that? Would it be okay if…"

The Doctor rolled his eyes even as he grinned at Jack. "Women," he said. "Human or not, they're all the same."

Jack grinned back and managed to nod his head before Rose cut in. "And what about men?"

The Doctor grinned at his fiancée tenderly. "Yeah, men too. For instance," he continued, "I didn't plan for a 19 year old London girl to get under my skin." He walked over to Rose and encompassed her with his arms, gently snogging her neck. Rose gave a delighted soft laugh as she swung around and kissed him firmly back, leaving him breathless. "But then," he murmured, "You're no ordinary, simple shop girl. You're the most fantastic, gorgeous, brilliant, loving girl I have ever met."

"How sweet," Jack shot from his corner before Rose could make any reply other than a big snog.

The Doctor and Rose stayed locked together for a few minutes before moving apart and continuing to walk, swinging their joined hands.

"Right, so we need to…" Jackie began.

"I know a minister – if he's alive still," the Doctor suddenly volunteered. Jackie, Jack and Rose both turned to the Doctor as one and looked at him incredulously. "I can't exactly remember what year I met him in…" he admitted sheepishly. "But he's in London," he added brightly.

"Brilliant," Jack stifled a groan as he rolled his eyes.

"I think so," the Doctor agreed.

"Fine, what's his name?"

"Henry Matchett. He's very good at keeping alien technology secret – and he's one of the few chaps that knows that I actually am an alien – or more appropriately, a Time Lord. He would love to join me and Rose in matrimony – and on short notice," the Doctor said with a grin to Rose.

"Sounds good," Rose said immediately before anyone else could respond.

"Fine," Jackie said decidedly. "Henry Matchett it is… but if you're not going to invite any relatives – "

"They're practically all dead, and the rest couldn't make it in time for today," Rose interrupted.

"I'm going to invite Keesha and Shereen."

"Oh, perfect," Rose said sarcastically.

Just then Mickey came running up. "I heard the noise –" He stopped when he saw Jack. "Oh, it's you again," he said dismissively with a slight glare.

Jack decided to be kind and ignore him.

"We need to work on stuff for the wedding – " Jackie was going on, not realizing Mickey had come up to Rose.

"Mum," Rose interrupted; going red, but it was too late.

"Wedding?" Mickey demanded, turning slightly pale.

"Wedding," Jack decided to input, and couldn't help from feeling slightly smug at the look of horror that crossed Mickey's face.

"Who's wedding?" Mickey asked, his voice raising an octave.

"Mine," Rose said quietly, her eyes cast down. She waited patiently for his outburst with a cringe.

"What's this, Rose?" Mickey practically shouted. "I practically comes runnin' fast as I can – and what do you do? You treat me like I'm nuthin', Rose – like I'm dirt!"

"Look in a mirror," Jack volunteered. The Doctor silenced him with a reproving look.

"Listen, Mickey, I was gonna tell ya," Rose began. "But it just came about an' –"

"Now hang on a minute, Rose. Who are you marrying?"

"Think, Rickey the Idiot," the Doctor shot.

Mickey turned to the Doctor. "You - should have guessed."

"You're right; you bloody well should have."

"Doctor, let's go inside…" Rose tugged on her fiancé's arm. The Doctor reluctantly walked away from Mickey along with Rose and wrapped an arm round her. Jackie followed silently, and Jack and Mickey were left alone outside.

"Listen, don't give her a hard time," Jack warned Mickey firmly.

"Or what?" Mickey shot back.

"Sometimes you have to move on. As far as I can see, you two were over from the minute she stepped inside that small blue box." He said nothing else, for he knew Mickey understood and agreed with that statement at least. That being said, Jack turned and followed the others into the flat.

Mickey hesitated slightly before following him. Maybe the Captain was right.

"Right, so we're inviting Shereen and Keesha to the wedding," Rose was saying to Jackie, who nodded firmly.

"We need some of your friends, of course."

"Right. Just don't say Jimmy Stone."

"No problems with that, sweetheart. I'm not letting you go near him again." The response was immediate.

"Invite Rob Delaney and his sister Trisha," a voice came from the doorway. "They're in town."

Rose's head shot up. "Yeah, okay," she said willingly, and then paused. "'S long as my best mate's coming too," she added quietly.

"I'm there," Mickey told her with a shaky smile.

Rose beamed and turned to the Doctor, who did not look exactly happy. "Doctor, we need to find you a best man," she told him slowly.

"Jack," Mickey and the Doctor both responded immediately.

Rose laughed. "Jack?" She turned to her friend who was slouched in a spinning chair.

"Sure," he said absently. "Anything for you two." He paused. "Just when you two have a tot, don't ask me to baby-sit."

The Doctor grinned at Rose mischievously as his eyes sent her tender messages that were clear to Rose because she glanced down and blushed. "We'll see," she mumbled over to the Doctor, whose grin widened.

"Let's find the minister," Jackie suggested next.

"Agreed," Rose nodded as everyone turned to the Doctor expectantly.

"What?" he asked innocently, self-consciously ruffling his hair.
