A/N: Here is your answer. Sorry I took so long to update. I had no Internet. But here it is. Please enjoy.

Rose stood, shocked. Her mouth was agape and her body was stock-still. Had he really just asked her that question?
The Doctor stared at her, a huge grin on his face. He knew that she loved him just as much as he loved her, but as time went by and she didn't answer, the smile disappeared and a frown took shape instead. His eyes slowly filled with sadness.
"Rose…" The Doctor mumbled, and as Rose finally saw the sadness in his eyes, she broke out of her trance and pulled him to his feat. She smiled brightly at him. The Doctor smiled back just as brightly and Rose pulled him to her for a hug.
"Of course I will marry you, Doctor." Rose said as the Doctor pulled her closer. Rose laughed as he spun her around, tears running down her cheeks.
"You will?" The Doctor asked when he had sat her down again. Rose nodded in reply and the Doctor pulled her closer again and kissed her. Rose linked her hands around his neck as the Doctor's hands went to her waist, holding her to him. The Doctor deepened the kiss as Rose felt herself melt into him. They could have stayed like that, but the sound of their baby's cry broke them apart.
Rose smiled as she went to the console and peered into the basinet, and smiled at her baby boy. John gaggled loudly and the Doctor laughed. Rose looked up at the Doctor, a questioning look on her face. The Doctor smiled gently at her and took her hand.
"He wants his mother to pick him up, though he didn't exactly say mother…" the Doctor said as Rose looked down at John again.
"Hold on, what do you mean that he didn't exactly say 'Mother'?" Rose asked as she looked at the Doctor. The Doctor laughed.
"Sorry, but I can't tell you." The Doctor said as he diverted Rose's hand as it swung to whack him in the arm. But he didn't expect the foot, which had kicked out at him when he had stepped back. The Doctor yelped before he lunged at Rose and pulled her into his arms. Rose laughed as he rained down her with sloppy kisses. She squirmed slightly, but stopped when the Doctor planted a kiss on her lips and Rose melted into him. The Doctor gripped her tighter and pulled away from her lips, only to kiss forehead. Rose smiled as she wound her arms around his waist. The Doctor grinned as he looked down at his fiancée, and love burned through both of his hearts. He knew that if they didn't have a newborn to look after, they would be celebrating right now. In a completely different way then throwing a party for her family. Ah, Jackie. They had to tell Jackie. And sure, she was fine with the fact that she was the grandmother of his baby, but wait until she found out that he was going to be her son-in-law. Now wouldn't that be fun. But the Doctor hoped that Jackie would be at least okay with it, seen as Rose was angry enough with her as it was. The Doctor hugged her closer, as he danced them on the spot. Rose snuggled into the crook of his arm, and the Doctor found that he was finally happy. He had finally found someone that could stay with forever. He would never have to ponder whether she would die before him or not.
Hours later, the Doctor sat alone in his room. Rose hadn't quite moved in with him yet and she was currently busy feeding John, so the Doctor had some time to think. And he was currently panicking. He had absolutely no idea how to plan a wedding, much less be a husband. He knew that in no way was he backing out of this marriage, but that didn't mean that he couldn't panic about it.
"Well John is asleep." Rose said as she walked through the open door with John asleep in her arms. The Doctor looked up and nodded before looking back down at his converse clad feet.
"What's the matter, Doctor?" Rose asked as she sat down next to him, being careful not to upset the baby. The Doctor looked up at Rose, but didn't utter a word. Rose moved John carefully in her arms so that she had a free hand. She reached over and gripped the Doctor's hand in hers.
"Are you nervous about the wedding?" Rose asked as she smiled gently. The Doctor nodded.
"It's okay, there's nothing to worry about." Rose said gently as the Doctor looked at her in horror.
"Nothing to worry about?!" The Doctor exclaimed as he scooted off the bed and went to stand against the wall. "There is so much to worry about. Like how on earth do you plan a bloody wedding? And what do you do after that. I don't know how to be a husband, Rose. I mean, sure, I have explored the universe and I have faced the destruction of my home world and many others, but I don't know how to be a husband. It's what humans do, and Time Lords never really think of those sorts of things. Especially when you are the last of the Time Lords and you can't marry anyone because you live longer than them."
Rose watched the Doctor as he stared down at his feet again and she understood the way he felt. She had reacted the same way when he had asked the question, but she just hadn't yelled it out. She had felt so young, even though she was now a mother and the fact that she had travelled to the furthest reaches of the universe, she was still a lot younger than he was. She was almost twenty-four while the man she loved was nine hundred and two years old. So of course that age had made her feel young. But the fact that she could live every day of forever being his wife, made that small fear disappear completely.
"On Earth, we call this cold feet. But Doctor, I am never going to leave you. I am going to stay with you forever; we have no expiry date. I will always be your's. And hopefully, you will always be mine." Rose said as the Doctor finally looked at her. And love radiated from the depths of his brown eyes, and Rose knew that he no longer questioned whether or not he could do this. Because he knew he could. He wanted to spend the rest of his days loving her. And now that she was a new brand of Time Lord, he could.
Rose got to feet and walked to her Doctor. She looked up into his perfect brown eyes and smiled. She loved him with every part of her being, and just looking into the depths of his eyes, she could see that he loved her with his. Rose slid her arms around his waist and leant her head against his chest. The Doctor wrapped his arms around her shoulders and held her against him. Rose smiled as she felt his lips on her head.
"So, who is going to be your best man?" Rose asked. The Doctor thought about it for a moment.
"Well I was going to go with Mickey, but he doesn't seem too happy with me at the moment. So how about Jack?" The Doctor asked as leant his chin on her hair.
"Sounds alright. But you know that he will be hitting on every person he meets." Rose said as the Doctor laughed. "And we have to at least invite Mickey."
"Sure." The Doctor said. "And you know, it's just a part of Jack's charm, as long as he doesn't hit on you."
Rose laughed.
"I'm serious." The Doctor said in a serious voice. Rose smiled as she pulled away from him.
"You are the only man for me." She said as she reached up and kissed him on the lips.
"John is asleep, right?" The Doctor asked as he looked down at Rose with a mischievous grin. "We have a couple hours?"
Rose laughed again as the Doctor locked their lips together in a heated kiss and backed her towards the bed, removing his brown pin-stripped jacket as he went. Rose fell back onto the bed and looked up at the Doctor, a steamy smile on her face. The Doctor grinned as he pounced onto of her, and buried his face in her shoulder, gently bitting the skin. Rose giggled happily as she wiggled. The Doctor was about to lean up and kiss her as the baby monitor sounded with the cry of John. The Doctor groaned into Rose's shoulder before he rolled off of her so that she could go to John. Rose smiled as she leaned over and kissed him.
"Duty calls." Rose laughed as he grabbed her by the waist and deepened the kiss.
"Later." The Doctor growled as he let her go. Rose smiled as she jumped off of the bed and raced from the room. The Doctor moved so that he was sitting on the edge of the bed and placed his head in his hands. Parenthood.
The Doctor was about to settle back and wait for Rose when he heard her scream. The Doctor jumped up in horror and raced from the room. He followed her scream to John's room. He burst through the door to see Rose by John's basinet. What he didn't expect was to see a dark figure standing behind her, with his arm held tightly around her shoulders. He had a hand clamped over her mouth and Rose was looking at him with terror and shock clear in her eyes.
"Jack?!" The Doctor exclaimed as he looked at the stranger's face. It was an exact copy of Captain Jack, but he seemed darker. A manic grin came across Jack's face.
"Nope." Jack said as he pressed a button on the wristband and he and Rose warped away.
"ROSE!" The Doctor yelled as John started to scream. The Doctor ran to his small son and picked him. The Doctor held him close and buried his nose in his pale hair.
"I will find you." He whispered to thin air as he slid to the ground and cried into John's hair.
I know, dramatic ending. I needed to add a little drama to this story. Don't worry, he will find her. Eventually. Keep reading xx
