He Who Sins
Chapter Seven: A Few Home Truths
The Doctor was sprawled across the bed, his arm lazily hung over Roses' waist as they slept soundly. Rose rolled over and felt his arm on her, she smiled to herself and snuggled close to him – she never thought she'd be here, that one day she'd finally lay in the Doctors arms. Rose smiled to herself and released a happy sigh, the Doctor opened eye
'What do you look so smug about? He asked grinning, Rose just laughed happily in return. The Doctor rolled over and pulled her close so that her head was resting on his chest at an angle so he could still gaze into her eyes. He had one hand wrapped around her waist and the other tightly squeezed hers. Rose grinned at him
'I love you' she whispered, the Doctor grinned
'Tell me again' he asked
'I love you' she repeated
'And again'
'I love you!' Rose laughed
'And again'
Rose grinned at him
'How many times do you need to hear it?'
'I think I'm going to need to hear it every day for the rest of my life' he told her softly. Rose smiled lovingly at him and reached up to press soft kisses to his face.
'I love you' she tenderly whispered before kissing him again.
Marilee felt the pendant begin to burn again
'It's almost time boy' she called out, when Tymon reached her she was the restless fear in his eyes, she gently placed her hand on his
'Sometime we need to learn to detach ourselves from our emotions for the greater good' she murmured .Tymon nodded silently and sat on the floor beside the table as he watched the crystal slowly begin to un-cloud.
The Doctor came up from behind Rose and wrapped his hands around her stomach so that his head rested on her shoulder
'So my sweet' he murmured 'where would you like to go today?'
She lent her head back onto his shoulder
'Home' she mumbled, the Doctor raised his eyebrow in question
'It's mum's birthday' she quickly explained
'Ah' the Doctor replied,
'What?' Rose asked turning in his arms so she now face him
'Nothing' he lied, Rose grinned at him
'I know what the "Ah" means' she laughed, the Doctor raised his eyebrow
'You're scared of her!' she exclaimed
'What do you expect!' he answered 'She always slaps me!' he wined. Rose laughed and kissed his cheek
'Aw! Don't worry I'll protect you' she said with a grin before poking him in the ribs
'Oi!' he replied
'What?'
'Don't patronise me!'
'Then don't be such a wimp!' she laughed. The Doctor shook his head
'That's it' he told her, Rose raised an eyebrow
'No one calls me a wimp and gets away with it' he warned her with a sparkle in his eyes before he swept her into his arms and began to tickle her. Rose's laughter filled the Tardis warming every corner of it
'Stop…stop…stop it!' Rose tried to say in between giggles, the doctor sat on he waist grinning at her
'Then apologise' he said, Rose stuck her tongue out
'Never!'
'Well then!' the Doctor replied as he began to tickle her once more, Roses' squeals filled the Tardis
'Okay! I'm sorry!' she finally cracked. The Doctor removed his hands from her ribs
'Really?' he asked, Rose grinned at him
'Yes, really'
'Good' he replied and then moved to get off of her, instead Rose wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down so that his lips met hers. The were soon rolling on the floor of the control panel losing themselves in each others kisses.
'Mmm…Doctor…' Rose murmured from underneath one of his kisses
'Hmm' he replied as he kissed her softly again
'My mum…' she muttered. The Doctor pulled his mouth away from hers
'Talk about ruining the moment!' he moaned. Rose laughed
'Do you want her to slap you again?' Rose asked, the Doctors eyes widened and his hand went to his cheek as he remembered past slaps, he quickly shook his head
'Then you'd better get me home on time' she replied with a laugh. The Doctor raised his eyebrow and slowly stood, helping her up in the process
'I s'pose' he muttered as he walked over to the control panel. Rose laughed and straightened her dress as the Doctor hit button on the control panel, soon they were in flight and had landed on the Powell estate. Rose walked up to the Doctor and squeezed his hand
'It will be alright' she softly told him, he smiled down at her and out his arm around her shoulders pulling her closer
'It will be now' he replied as he stole one more kiss before walking out of the Tardis.
Marliee stroked the crystal as her pendant burned
'As a moth gnaws a garment so doth envy consume a man' she murmured with a smile as she watched the scenes before her unfold through the crystal. Her plan was going to work – she knew that much.
Rose opened the front door to the flat, her hand tightly locked with the Doctors, she had practically had to drag him up the stairs but they were here now.
'Mum?' Rose called out as she entered the flat pulling the Doctor behind her.
'Rose? Sweetheart, is that you?' the familiar voice of Jackie called out, Rose grinned when she saw her mum come around the corner wearing jeans and a sweater, her blonde hair was pulled back off her face
'Oh come here!' she squealed as she threw her arms around Roses' neck
'Sweet heart you look beautiful!' she praised her daughter as she held her
'I thought I'd never see you again!' she exclaimed
'Why?' Rose asked in disbelief
'You don't call, you don't write, you don't visit' she moaned as she released Rose and turned to the Doctor
'And you!' she glared at him 'You never bring her back! Not even for my birthday!'
The Doctor's mouth dropped as Jackie's hand collided with his face – this was his second Tyler slap in twenty four hours and he wasn't happy
'What was that for!' he moaned tenderly touching his cheek 'I brought her back!'
'Two hours late! My birthday was two hours ago!'
'What!' the Doctor exclaimed in disbelief. Rose grinned and pressed a kiss to the hand print on the Doctors cheek, Jackie raised an eyebrow at her before Mickey walked out of the living room.
'Hey Mic's' she called out as she wrapped her arms around his neck as he placed her kiss on his cheek. The Doctor felt his heart blacken as his soul turned dark, he glared at Mickey
Marilee smiled to Tymon,
'Watch and learn my boy, see the mistakes that humans so piteously make' she murmured 'they give into their emotions too easily…' she mused before smiling 'but this just makes our job easier'
