He Who Sins

Chapter Fourteen: A Tiny Truth

The Doctor was woken for the fifth time in the night by the sound of Rose scrambling out of bed clutching her stomach and running towards the bathroom. It had gotten to the point where Rose lay sprawled across the bed, her head hanging off the edge barely reaching the bucket. The Doctor watched her for a moment longer then decided he'd had enough

'Right that's it' he declared as he rolled out of the vast double bed and walked around to the other side where Rose lay. He scooped her up in his arms and held her against his chest

'Doctor?' Rose asked wearily 'Where are we going?'

'We are going to sort this out once and for all' he told her as he began to carry her out of the room. Roses' head lolled against the Doctors' shoulder as he carried her, her eyelids slowly fluttered shut as her hands rested tenderly on her stomach. The Doctor carried her into the medical room and carefully placed her down on the bed, Rose breathed softly as she felt her stomach moving, and she heaved as she tried to fight the automatic urge to vomit.

'Rose, I'm gunna pump your stomach' the Doctor murmured, Roses' eyes widened as the Doctor began to fumble through cupboards looking for the appropriate apparatus. Rose's mouth opened but the words couldn't escape as she weakly clutched her stomach and watched him, the Doctor didn't notice the deadly silence that came over Rose as he said those words. He turned around to see her still staring at him in total shock; he smiled at her and dropped everything so he could hold her hand

'It will all be alright, I promise. It will stop the vomiting' he told her softly. Rose squeezed his hand and shut her eyes

'It won't hurt, I promise' he told her with a soft smile. Rose opened her eyes and smiled bravely

'Go on then' she murmured as she gulped. The Doctor pressed a soft kiss to her mouth and squeezed her hand

'I love you, you know' he murmured.

'Good' she whispered as she kissed him back. When they finally parted the Doctor grinned at her as he stroked her hair,

'You go to sleep, I'm going to run some tests and then pump your stomach – hopefully you shouldn't feel a thing'

Rose looked around the room worriedly before slowly nodded. She locked her fingers with the Doctors and smiled at him

'See you soon' she murmured, he nodded in reply and kissed her forehead as she slowly drifted into sleep still clutching his hand.

Marilee sat in her chair and watched as Tymon plucked up the courage to confront her, he'd been pacing the floor all day and Marilee knew something was brewing – and she couldn't wait to find out what. She longed to see the true power within Tymon and she knew that in one moment, sooner or later, he would break and reveal the truth within himself – all he needed was the essence of his being for the pendant to begin to work, and once it worked there was nothing that could stop them.

'Two weeks' Tymon murmured softly.

'Pardon?' Marilee asked as her long fingers began to fiddle with her pendant as she watched Tymon excitedly.

'Two weeks' he said louder, his golden eyes now swirled with anger as he stared at Marilee. She could see the fear that laced his eyes but she could also see the determination

'Two weeks since this began – you are tearing them apart! Have you not had enough?' he asked angrily. Marilee smiled to herself

'My boy, this is just the beginning' she told him wisely. He shook his head

'No more – there has to be no more' he warned.

'Or what?' she asked curiously as her eyes glinted.

'Or I won't do it' he said darkly. Marilee froze – this was the first time she had believed the anger that ran through him as pure and true as the moon.

'Is that so?' Marilee asked softly.

'Yes' he replied firmly, his eyes fearing her but his mouth betraying him. 'I won't do it – not for you, not for Devadeva, not if you continue to hurt them like this!' he warned her. Marilee laughed softly, her laughter rising through the air and escaping through every crack so that it haunted Tymon.

'Stop it!' he yelled angrily. 'Stop it!' he shouted as she continued to laugh, it was in this moment of pure rage at wisps of gold swum around his pendant before it began to burn against his chest. He fell to his knees

'What's happening?' he wheezed as he watched the gold around him.

'The future – the future is happening my boy' Marilee praised as she stood over Tymon watching the transformation.

The Doctor held the tube up that he was preparing to slide into Rose's throat, as he gently moved her head back to open her mouth a warning alarm went off on the computer that Rose was attached to by various wires.

'What?' the Doctor moaned as he turned to face the screen, he left one hand gently against Rose's cheek.

'Warning treatment unacceptable' he read from the screen as he shook his head.

'Tardis!' he shouted out 'What do you mean?'. The screen just continued to flash with the same message and the Doctor shook his head ignoring it. He picked up the tube again but this time alarm bells went off as well causing the Doctor to jump back and drop the tube. He sighed to himself

'Sorry Rose' he murmured as he moved over to the screen and began to hit random buttons.

'Treatment unsuitable' he read from the screen. 'What do you mean?' he asked agitated. He began to hit buttons trying to remove the warning from the screen so he could continue with the treatment

'Treatment unsuitable' he read again from the screen 'I'll show you what's bloody unsuitable' he muttered under his breath. The message on the screen changed

'Process denied – must scan first' he read out thoughtfully. He sighed to himself and let a half smile play over his face as he realised how protective of Rose the Tardis was.

'Thanks old girl' he murmured as he picked up the ultrasound tools so he could check for internal bleeding. He gently rolled Rose's top up so her bare stomach showed, he spread the cool gel over her and watched as tiny goosebumps appeared in reaction. He smiled to himself and hit the ultrasound button on the screen

'Just to prove nothing's wrong' he muttered to the Tardis – in truth he was glad for the reassurance. He began to move the scanner gently up and down her stomach checking for bleeding, he frowned suddenly

'What?' he mumbled to himself as he held the scanner in one spot as he carefully studied the screen, after a moment it hit him what it was. He dropped the scanner and jumped back as it hit the floor

'Oh God' he muttered.
