Chapter 17 – Doctor Who: The Wedding (Uncut) Part Three

"C'mon, pose for the camera!" Jack said as he took Jackie's camera out of her grasp and held it up childishly to snap the Doctor and Rose in a picture. Rose beamed, and the Doctor's already jaw splitting grin widened impossibly further as he wrapped a possessive arm around Rose. Jack snapped the picture and threw Jackie back the camera with another captivating flash of pearl white teeth.

"Jack, that's my mum!" Rose warned him almost in hysterics. Jack smoothed back his hair, pulling his collar up a little.

"That explains why she's so feisty!"

The Doctor tried his best to block their conversation out.

"Mummy! Daddy!" yelled a sudden voice from below and the Doctor looked around just in time to see Rory speeding towards them, in his tow four people Rose found impossible to believe were there.

"Shareen! Keisha! Trish! Paris!" Rose exclaimed as the Doctor dropped to Rory's height just in time to nearly be knocked over by the boy running and grasping him into a hug.

"Rose darlin'! You look so pretty!" Shareen gave her a friendly hug. "By the way, your little boy is so sweet!"

"Yeah Doc, what's his name?" Jack asked already smiling at the three new girls in turned. They all giggled.

"Rory," the Doctor answered, shooting Jack a glare. He rolled his eyes, dropping to his knees and ruffling the boy's hair. Rory drew away from his father, glaring at Jack as he patted his hair back down again. "And Rory, this is Jack. Your…" he paused for a moment, "…uncle."

"Hey I'm promoted!" Jack grinned. "I'm insulted he wasn't named Jack by the way Doctor."

"I couldn't bear the memories," the Doctor answered absently, picking Rory up and holding him to his chest. Rory wrapped his arms around his father's neck and held on tight.

"Daddy I love you," he said, obviously vouching for the cute vote. He got it.

"He's so cute!" one of the girls said in a high-pitched voice, looking over at the boy in his dad's arms. The others also turned to stare at the two, 'aww'ing and 'coo'ing accordingly.

"I don't remember you 'avin' a baby boy Rose," Paris added as an afterthought, and suddenly Rose was put in an extremely uncomfortable position.

"He's very mature for his age," the Doctor cut in quickly to save her. "He's a year old but people think he's more."

"Oooo!" the girls chorused together, before attentions turned from Rory to the Doctor. A couple licked their lips. The Doctor warily backed away.

"John!" said a very welcoming voice suddenly from the side, and the Doctor turned to see Sarah-Jane standing smiling at him, a brown-haired teenage boy standing beside her.

"Hello Sarah-Jane," he said with a return smile, strategically moving over to her and leaving the four immature girls in the dangerous company of Jack.

"So ladies…"

Rose rolled her eyes, turning away from the sight before her to watch the Doctor and Sarah-Jane settle down on a bench just across the green, Rory in the Doctor's lap whilst Sarah-Jane was accompanied by…was that a teenage boy?

She smiled to herself, holding up her left hand with the ring on and looking down at it with a large amount of pride. She'd have to ask the Doctor about it. He always seemed to surpass himself now for her and sometimes she felt like she wasn't good enough for him.

Still, she always tried her best. Her best was all she could be and she'd just have to hope that was enough for her now husband. It felt so weird to say that, even though they'd made love a countless number of times now. But now they were married, they were officially a recognised couple. Rose Sigma-Tyler, now that was a name.

She looked back over to the Doctor still chatting with Sarah-Jane; glad he was hers. She made her way through the crowd to the two on the bench, sketching a little half wave to them both. The Doctor shot her a grin.

"And this is my lovely wife, Rose Sigma-Tyler," he beamed to Sarah-Jane.

"You look very pretty Rose," Sarah-Jane said with a return smile to the permanent one Rose had on her face.

"Thank you," she said happily, looking over at the teenage boy sat next to Sarah-Jane, unusually quiet, Sarah-Jane thought. "Who's this then?"

"He's my adopted son, Luke," Sarah-Jane explained, "he was an experiment of the Bane Mother's when Bubble Shock started to control people's minds."

Rose rolled her eyes with a huge smile. It made sense that Sarah-Jane would only have a son in something to do with an invasion. Rose carefully got down onto her knees infront of Rory, brushing back his hair in a motherly way. Rory reached out with two tiny hands, resting them on his mother's womb.

"Little mummy," he declared proudly. "Auntie Sarah-Jane I'm gonna have a little sister!"

"Having a little sister is a big responsibility you know."

"I know, daddy said I gotta protect her from evil stuff!" Rory yelled, taking his hands off of Rose's womb and formed one of his hands into a gun, shooting off into the distant with a yelled 'bang'. Seconds later there was a cry of surprise and Jack was staggering towards them, hand on his chest.

"You shot me!" he moaned, the Doctor noticing he seemed to have lost the four girls somewhere along the way. Rory giggled as Jack got onto his knees beside Rose, giving her a friendly squeeze of a hug.

"Hey Rosie!"

Rose growled, "how many times Jack? Call me that again and I'll castrate you with a pair of eyebrow tweezers."

Jack waggled his eyebrows seductively. "I'll look forward to it."

"Mum, surely castration is impossible to perform with a pair of eyebrow tweezers?" Luke proposed suddenly from nowhere, and all heads were suddenly turned towards him. "The force of the metal would be very little on…"

"Luke!" Sarah-Jane interrupted, "what did I tell you about stating the facts in general conversation?"

Luke winced. "I am sorry mum. I am now feeling guilt. Is this good or bad?" Sarah-Jane chose to ignore him as she guided him onto his feet, her following.

"I'd better go now, K9's already in the car."

"Aww," Jack started as he got onto his feet. "Not gonna come to the reception? I already spiked the drinks." He winked.

"No thanks, must get back to saving the Universe," she joked, turning to leave – but not before the Doctor had got up from the bench and given her a hug. Then Rory appeared with his puppy dog eyes, staring up at her pleadingly, arms spread out. He got one too.

Rose was next in line, Sarah being careful of her womb as they embraced. Just as she drew back Jack appeared, smiling and holding his arms out. He also got one.

"I'm Cap'n Jack Harkness, by the way."

"I'm Sarah-Jane Smith."

"Doctor!" suddenly came a shrill voice from the other side of the green, and the Doctor turned to see Jackie Tyler waddling speedily towards him with half of the neighbourhood in tow, camera in hand. "Photo!"

"Curtain call," the Doctor announced to the others, waving goodbye to Sarah-Jane as Jackie grabbed his shirt and dragged him back towards the front of the church. Rose turned to Sarah-Jane one last time.

"I'll see you again soon, yeah?"

She nodded. "Remember, if you ever need me, I'm always here."

Rose smiled. "I'll remember that."

"Rose!"

Rose turned as Jack scooped up Rory, the group of them rushing back to the group gathered around the church front.

"Now Doctor I want you to stand there…" Jackie obviously was trying to make the impression she was a professional photographer as she guided the Doctor to stand infront of the church steps. "Rose sweetheart! Over here!"

Minutes later Jackie Tyler stood back to admire her handiwork: the Doctor and Rose in the middle, Jack kneeling down infront of them with Rory perched on his shoulders. Howard stood behind the Doctor and Rose, their left. Jackie bustled Shareen to take the picture, since a professional photographer had been something Jackie had neglected in her preparation and her digital camera was good enough anyway, she reasoned.

Jackie scuttled back over to the group, taking her place on the Doctor's right. She took a quick glance around at them all, almost shrieking as she saw the mud all over Rory's trousers.

"Rory sweetheart what've you been doin'?!" she shrieked and the Doctor groaned, getting impatient. Howard also rolled his eyes and quietly produced a secreted apple from his pocket, taking a few well-deserved bites. It was at that precise moment Mickey's phone decided to vibrate against his hip, and he took it out and checked for a new text message.

Whilst Jackie tried to confront Rory the Doctor turned to Rose, gently taking her in his arms and placing a kiss on her lips. She smiled, kissing back and wrapping her arms around his neck. Shareen caught this from behind the camera.

"Aww how cute!" she said with a girlish giggle, finger pressing down on the button to take it. She caught the Doctor and Rose well in mid movement (Currently investigating the interior of each other's mouth) but not so well for the others. Howard was still munching inconspicuously on an apple, Mickey was in the process of sending of a text message, Jackie's face was morphed into an expression of annoyance at the Doctor's son as he beamed broadly at the camera, yanking harshly on Jack's hair – the owner of which currently had his mouth open to cry out pain.

"Yep," Jack noted but a few minutes later as he, Rose, Rory and the Doctor headed back to the TARDIS to take a rest before the reception later that day, him staring at a copy of the photo in his hand. "Best wedding photo ever."
