The Doctor paced, running his hands roughly through his thick, brown hair. Every now and again, he would turn and look at the door he was pacing in front of. It was the room in which Rose had disappeared into with a midwife, two hours ago. The Doctor wasn't sure why he was outside of the room, instead of in it. Rose would surely need him, but the Doctor continued to pace, listening to the cries and screams, cringing inside everytime it sounded like Rose was in a lot of pain.

An hour later, and just before the Doctor was about to enter, Rose gave one last cry before the room and hallway filled with the sound of a baby's cry. He gripped the door handle as he heard Rose giggle gently, but stopped as Rose screamed. And this was a horrible scream, and the Doctor started to panic as the room filled with a yellow/orange light that the Doctor was all to familiar with.

The Doctor burst through the door to find the midwife backed against the wall, a small bundle wrapped in blue blankets, held protectively in her arms. The Doctor hardly noticed that the bundle was in actual fact his son, as his eyes turned to Rose. He watched in horror as Rose's back arched as her entire being spurted orange light as her body healed itself, but there was nothing wrong with Rose. She was just a normal, human girl who had just had a Time Lord's baby. But maybe that was it, maybe it was John's genes that had changed his mother. Their beautiful little boy had just saved his mother for both of them. He watched as she continued to glow, no longer screaming but her back was still arched. The Doctor waited for her to change, for her to no longer be Rose. But as the orange glow began to fade, and Rose slowly descended back onto the bed, she stayed the same. Maybe that was how this worked, maybe John's genes had only changed the insides of Rose instead of the outside. The Doctor walked slowly over to the midwife and took his baby from her arms. He looked down at his son, as the midwife ran from the room, and gently brushed back the little blonde hair that adorned his sons head. Just like his mother, and the Doctor just knew that although his eyes would be blue now, they would slowly change into the same colour as his. He walked slowly over to Rose, looking down at John.

"What happened, Doctor?" Rose asked, huffed and confusion in her eyes.

"John regenerated you." The Doctor said as he passed John to his mother.

"But I'm still the same, you change when you regenerate. Why didn't i change?" Rose asked as she smiled down at their baby boy.

The Doctor didn't answer, because he didn't know. And though this was very hard to come by with the Doctor, it was true. He couldn't understand why she had regenerated, and why she hadn't changed with the regeneration. But maybe she had changed, maybe she was Time Lord now. And as soon as Rose and John were safe to leave the hospital, he would find out. Their was a device in the Tardis that determined what a person was, human or other wise. And though it seemed that John was a Time Lord, or Part-Time Lord, the Doctor couldn't wait to find out was Rose was.

They stayed at the hospital for another night, and part of the next day. Rose was happy to take her son and leave, and she was glad she hadn't been visited by her mother and Mickey.

Once back at Tardis, the Doctor took John carefully in his arms and started chatting away to him while Rose quickly entered the Tardis. Once inside, Rose turned and looked at the Doctor and he followed behind, telling John that the Tardis was bigger on the inside.

"What are you doing?" Rose aked, listening as the Doctor answered a question. "Are you talking to him?"

The Doctor looked up and smiled at Rose and looked down at John, "I speak baby, don't i John?" Rose listened as John gurgled happily. The Doctor smiled to himself as he walked slowly over to the Tardis controls and started fiddling around with the controls.

"Where are we going?" Rose asked as she sat down on the jump seat. The Doctor looked over at her slightly, before he shifted his gaze back over to the console screen.

"Oh, just somewhere." The Doctor said as he held John closer. Slowly the Tardis landed, and the Doctor stepped away from the controls and carried John to the Tardis doors.

"Doctor, shouldn't he be resting?" Rose asked from where she still sat. The Doctor looked back over at her.

"Later, but right now he has something more important to do." The Doctor said as he opened the door and left.

"Doctor, where are you going?" Rose called out to him as she jumped to her feet and slowly left the Tardis. The Doctor smiled as he noticed that Rose had followed him, and flicked his fingers, locking the Tardis door. Now she couldn't escape like she had last time. Rose turned and stared at the doors, confused why he had locked them. Turning back, Rose's mouth fell open with horror, as she finally understood where she was. The were standing right in the middle of the courtyard. And Jackie Tyler stood across from them.

"No, Doctor. Open the Tardis." Rose said, anger clear in her voice.

"Rose, if you are what i think you are, and its possible that you are what i think you are-"

"Doctor!" Rose yelled at him, and the Doctor looked back at her, shocked that he had been cut off. He sighed and shook his head, dropping down to sick on the ground and started to talk to John again.

"Rose?" Jackie called out to Rose. "I'm sorry Rose, i'm so sorry if i upset you. I really have nothing against the baby and the Doctor, well not so much with the Doctor. But I'm sure that I'll grow to love him."

Rose looked at her mother for a moment, before the tears started falling down her cheeks and she ran over to her.

"Oh, mum. I'm sorry too. I didn't mean it." Rose cried as she buried her head in her mothers shoulder. The Doctor smiled as Rose and her mother hugged and he clicked his fingers again. Rose turned and looked at the Doctor and smiled.

"She's not always going to be here Rose." The Doctor said outloud and Rose hugged her mother even tighter.

"I love you, Mum."
