As the man in the brown striped suit leaned against the entrance way to the Medical Bay, as he quietly watches Rose sleep. The Doctor knew the tight barriers around both of his hearts that separates him and Rose from getting way too close, were crumbling down. He knew that he loved her with every fiber of his body, and how dangerously close that he just wanted to take her and never let her go. And yet unhappily he knew, he can't have her with this life he leads, traveling though time and space, even though she was now same as he is but she had a greater destiny ahead of her and it doesn't involved him. He was meant to be alone, nobody to love him or love back except for his ship. He was about to force himself out of the Medical bay when he heard his name called out.

"Doctor" said a familiar voice coming from the medical beds. He turned around and saw Rose awaken as she sat up in bed.

"Rose" he said with such profound emotion that it wounded him inside, quite knowing what he has to do even it means it hurting him inside. He came over to the chair next to her bed and sat down.

Rose sense something in the Doctor had changed by the way he was looking at her. And she had a feeling it wasn't going to be pleasant at all.

Before either could say something, Rose recently noticed that her chest felt heavier all of a sudden as if it was heavier then she used to. It felt like she was carrying bricks inside her.

"What is this new sensation I feel inside my chest?" she said as she put her hand over her right heart. Then she noticed something she never felt before... It felt like another heart beat. She looked up at the Doctor speechless as she looked at him and then down at her chest again.

"I feel two heart beats." she said as she looked up at the Doctor again hoping that he could explain what was happening to her.

"Rose you changed physically and in the next few days, so is your mental health." he said trying his hardest not to show any unsuitable emotion from her.



Then she felt she wasn't alone in her head anymore, she felt something like a buzz feeling in the back of her mind for some reason.

"Why do I have this buzz feeling in the back of my head now, I never felt this before?" she asked as she rubbed her forehead as if she had a bad headache.

"Your body had undergone a major makeover, and now it's starts function the same way as mine does." said the Doctor.

Rose looked at the Doctor in an odd way as if she didn't get in what he had just said to her.

The Doctor knew that the brilliant intelligence of his people will surface in her mind shortly, until then he needed to tell her what happen to her in a way she would be familiar with.

"You know that birthmark behind your head?" he query

"Yeah the one with the strange markings and symbols?" she applied.

"That's the one." he said.

"It seems that your birthmark was a predestined Time Lord Prophesy, and you have just gone though the first segments of your fated prophesy that was had already been laid out for you."

"What?" Rose said having a difficult time consider in what he was telling her.

"And there's more, it said that you will be changed forever as your body will become the same kind of the world that you would be destined to bring back." he said sounded pleased and excited about what happening to her.

"Did you know about what been going on with me? She asked sounded a little uneasy and exhausted at the same time.

"About your destiny? No at first, but we recently found out more about it." he said looking at her.

"What do you mean more about it?" she said sounded alarmed.

The Doctor explained to her about Him, Jack and Donna found this book as they were looking for answers on a different world, he told her what the Prophecy was about, and what it meant to his people, and how they foretold about his world being destroyed, and about her, and sort forth.

"Now I getting more then just a headache." she said as she lay her head back down on the pillow as she couldn't take any more of the information he had told her.

"Get some rest, Rose, we could talk more about it later." he said as he got up from his chair and watched as Rose doze off again.


Later that same night after finishing dinner, Jack had found the Doctor sitting alone in the Tardis library, staring at a built-in fireplace that already have a fire going.

"Huh Doctor?" Jack said trying to get the lonely man attention. And he did as the Doctor turned his head to face him.

"Come in, Jack" said the Doctor as he watched his friend enter and sat in the comfortable chair next to his.

"What can I do for you this evening?" he said giving him his famous smile.

"It's not for me it's for you" said Jack.

"Huh, what do you mean Jack?" puzzled the Doctor.

"Well ever since Rose came back to us today, it seems that your feelings for Rose have changed suddenly, so what's going on?" he said with a stern expression on his face.

The Doctor stayed quiet as he sat back into his chair and watch as the fire burn in the fireplace.

Jack noticed the face expression on the Doctor's face as the Time Lord was either staring at the fire or into nothing.



"OK what's going on with you?" Jack said as he got down to the point of his concern for his friend.

"It's hard to explain right now." spoke the Doctor as the Time Lord brushes through his hair with his right hand.

"What is it to explain? I seen how both of you look at each other."

The Doctor looked at his friend with a sad expression on his face and sighed softly. He suddenly got up from his chair and headed towards the door before turning around to face Jack once again.

"She won't need me anymore after she brings back Gallifrey, she'll be too busy with other things and such, to spend time with me. So I going to stop this thing between her and me before it gets to complicated and hurtful." said the Time Lord before he left a speechless Jack Harkness in the library alone.
