"Oh yeah brilliant" the Doctor said sarcastically "I'm just great Rose, fantastic even. I now have ten thousand women fussing over me, just great that is" the Doctor said and the carried on "I don't do domestic Rose I just don't" the Doctor said. "I never have"

"If you don't do domestic then why the hell did you marry me in the first place?" Rose shouted. She looked at him and saw his face soften slightly from the annoyed look that he had a moment before.

"Rose…" he said trying to reach for her but she'd turned around and ran away into the distance.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Jackie Tyler was sitting enjoying the peace and quiet for a little bit, whilst her Lynn took the twins out for a bit before they went to bed.
She couldn't quite believe that they were getting married; she knew that Rose loved the Doctor. It was obvious, but she never thought that this would happen. She could remember when they'd gone to a New Years party just after he'd regenerated, Rose, Mickey and herself had gone to a party that one of her friends were holding….

7:00pm

"Seriously though if you want to come you can" Rose said letting the Doctor place her coat over her shoulders. "I know you weren't invited but…"

"Rose come on we're gonna be late" Jackie said from the door where she and Mickey stood waiting for Rose to come and join them.
"Yeah in a minute Mum" Rose said ignoring her mother completely, instead she was looking at the Doctor "You can come if you want really"

"Rose I'm fine" the Doctor said for what seemed the thousandth time in the last fifteen minutes. "Go and enjoy yourself"
"But…"

"Go on, go see your friends, have a few drinks and have a good time. Stop worrying about me; I'll have plenty to do with fixing this radio of your mothers"

"Are you sure?" Rose asked

"Yes go on" the Doctor said giving her a gentle push toward the door, where she finally joined her mother and Mickey.

"See you later" Rose said smiling at him before closing the door and letting herself be lead to the house they were going to, a mere five minutes away.

9:00 pm

"So anyway here I am, and the next thing I know there's this big space ship overhead" Keisha exclaimed "I mean seriously first it was that alien hoax and those green things, which if you ask me are all students. Then next it's a giant spaceship over London. I'm surprised you didn't see it Shareen" Keisha said sipping her drink.

"Yeah well I was throwing up for half the day. I didn't exactly pay much attention to the sky or what was going on outside" Shareen said

"No you were paying much more attention to the toilet"

"You were throwing up?" Rose asked "Why did go out and…"

"Get pissed yeah well…"

"She has a new boyfriend"

"Oh that explains everything" Rose said laughing

"L is for the way you look at me"…

"Oh I love this song" Shareen exclaimed getting up and avoiding the questions that were bound to come from the giggling girls.

"Come on Rose, go get Mickey and dance" Keisha said getting up.

"Oh he's busy it's alright" Rose said and Keisha nodded before running off to find her own boyfriend.

11:50

Jackie was sitting down at the table in the garden, drinking yet another Vodka and coke, she'd lost count of how many she'd had now. Rose was sitting next to her watching as the others danced until the count down came. She looked at Rose and saw that she was deep in thought. She'd quite often find her like this when she was younger, especially if there was a new boy she fancied. Except Jackie thought, this was more than just a school girl crush. She could tell from the way she looked at him. And even if she was wrong, she still knew that he meant a lot to Rose.

"Oh Rose" Jackie said a little plan of hers coming to mind.

"What… yeah?"

"I've left my coat at home" Jackie said "Could you go back and get it?"

"Mum it's ten to midnight; I'll never be back in time for New Year"

"Well text me… look if I'm gonna go and see the fireworks on the embankment, then I'm gonna need my coat aren't I? So can you please go and get it"

"Alright fine" Rose said getting up and hugging her mother. "I'll get your coat"

"Thanks love" Jackie said smiling at her as she walked back up to the flat ten minutes away.

Rose walked back up to the flat, looking up at the stars as she did so. It was a perfectly clear night, which was good because that way you'd be able to see the fireworks. She went up the stairs and passed what seemed to be a very loud party and down to her flat.

This time last year she'd been a shop assistant, at Henriks. And just like Keisha and Shareen were doing now, and was probably quite drunk. She wasn't travelling around the universe with a man that lived in a blue box.

She walked into the flat and saw the Doctor looking up at the fireworks from their balcony; she walked over to him quietly and joined him.

"2006, its weird how fast time flies" Rose said

"Doesn't it just" the Doctor said not jumping or flinching. As if he'd known she was there. She looked up at him he was wearing his new pinstripe suit, and she was soon coming to like it very much. Just like she was getting to know and like him again.

"Happy new year" He said all of a sudden. "I know this Christmas wasn't exactly… simple… but well I'm still me Rose. I still…" he said but changed his mind with what he was going to say, and just hoped that she wouldn't pick up on anything.

"Yeah, I know. I quite like this new you anyway" Rose said smiling at him and looking up at him "Happy new year"

The Doctor looked back at her; he looked carefully at her features whilst she looked up at the fireworks. She was content just staying here next to him having unconsciously taken his hand. He realised that she'd accepted him for who he was now. And that was when he'd known he'd loved her, the day that she'd done that. And he'd almost told her, he came so close to telling her.

But he didn't he just couldn't tell her. Because he was a time lord, the last of the time lords, and he had to live on alone, live through the curse of the time lords.

Jackie who had followed Rose back up to the flat unseen by Rose smiled to herself, and placed her coat carefully where it would have been. If she hadn't have taken it in the first place.

A small bang from the front door and foot steps brought her out of her thoughts. And when she looked up she saw the Doctor come in. He didn't look as if he was in the best of moods at the minute.

"Are you alright?" Jackie asked looking at him.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine. Have you seen Rose?"

"No she's not come back since you went…" Jackie said but the Doctor interrupted her.
"Right ok thanks; just tell her I'm looking for her" the Doctor said and before she could question him anymore he'd gone out of the front door and what looked to be towards the TARDIS.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

It was never easy falling in love who ever the first couple were, whether it was Adam and Eve is up to you to decide on what you believe. If it was Adam and Eve then they'd have had fights and arguments just like the rest of us. It was part of being human to have a fight, and fall out. And then hopefully make up by the end of the evening. Except Rose Tyler hadn't married a human, she'd married a nine hundred year old alien who travels round the universe in a blue box.

Some people would thing she were mad for marrying an alien, either because they had some form of prejudice against other life forms or because they just couldn't believe it were true that aliens were real. And she could see where they were coming from, before she'd met the Doctor she'd never of believed those things were true. Before she met the Doctor she was just a shop girl, just girl who didn't quite know what she wanted to do with her life. She could have left school gone and done some A-levels like many of her friends but instead she wound up getting a job in a shop.

And then she met the Doctor, he just waltzed into her life and showed her the universe making her forget what had happened with Jimmy Stones. Making her see people differently, making her see the whole world differently. And she was so glad that she did, because if she hadn't then she'd still be stuck in a dead end job.

Instead of being stuck in a dead end job she met the Doctor, this man with a northern accent who took her to the very end of the earth to when everything was just starting. That was the kind of life she never believed possible, yet then on that day she met him she found out so many things were possible. And that was the end of her life on earth, of her life as a shop assistant and not getting very far in life with it.

And he took her all around the universe, planets, stars, cities, towns. She saw people and creatures beyond her imagination. And they grew closer and closer as time went on. And she grew to love him, and just as she'd realised it he changed. She changed his entire self. His entire existence was so different from how it used to be. But she managed to get through that, and she accepted him again. She fell in love with him again.

She knew she'd been wrong to shout at him like that it had been her over reacting. Thinking about it now she probably should have been more sympathetic towards him.

He'd always found this kind of thing difficult even in this form, she didn't quite know why he hated this kind of thing so much but he did. Whenever they had gone back to London to visit Jackie, he'd always stay on the TARDIS once things had gotten too much for him.

She decided then that it was time for her to go and find him. She didn't know where he would have gone, but she'd suspected that he'd have gone back to the TARDIS. She at first went back to the flat, and found her mother there sitting quietly thinking to herself.

"Rose" Jackie said getting up and looking at her. She must have known something was wrong because she got up and came over to her.

"Are you alright love?"
"Yeah Mum I'm fine, listen have you seen the Doctor?"

"He came in a few hours ago looking for you, he looked… well upset about something. Are you sure everything's ok?"

"Yeah… or it will be. I just need to find him that's all. Do you know where he went?"

"I saw him go towards the TARDIS"

"Ok thanks Mum" Rose replied.

"Rose?" Jackie said before she could go out the front door.

"Yes?"

"Are you coming back for tea?"

"Yeah we will" Rose said smiling before grabbing her coat and making her way towards the TARDIS.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

She walked into the TARDIS and felt the TARDIS hum under her fingers. Making her feel a little bit dryer from the rain outside that had soaked her clothes.

"Is he in here?" Rose asked she knew perfectly well that the TARDIS would hear her. Often she felt stupid and told herself she was talking to a machine, but all thoughts of that would quickly go away when she'd hear the TARDIS beep an affirmative.

Which it had just done, and she saw the monitor flicker on and found that the Doctor was lying on the sofa in the library. He was dozing by the looks of it next to the fire, its flames blazing quietly in the gothic features of the fireplace.
"Thanks girl" Rose said and the monitor switched off before making her way to the library.

She walked into the library and found him just as he'd been on the monitor; he always seemed to have a tendency to stay still for significant amount of time.

She crept in and walked quietly up to him before placing a hand on his shoulder, he jumped the moment her hand touched his shoulder.
"Easy, it's only me" Rose said before being brought into a hug.
"Where have you been?" he asked having no intention of moving just yet.

"Just been walking around"

"I'm sorry I lost my temper" he said "I just find domestic things a little hard sometimes. I don't at any minute regret marrying you it's just…"

"It's alright" Rose said placing a finger on his lips. "I know, I'm sorry I ran off"

"Ok" he said nodding reaching up and placing a kiss to her lips. "I love you"
"I know I love you too" she said reaching up and placing another kiss to his lips.

They had found themselves a few minutes later cuddled up together on the sofa, both too content to move, just having random conversations or sitting in silence both lost in their own thoughts.

"There was this time when you came and hugged me. I mean you'd hugged me lots of time before hand but there was something about you, something in the way you looked at me and it was… different. I know how sad you felt then and you always had a lonely look in your eye but this time that look had gone. And you looked happy" Rose said cuddling up to him feeling the familiar double heart beat.

"I don't remember that" he replied kissing his forehead, having listened to Rose about his former self.

"No?"
"Nope don't remember that at all"

"Oh well doesn't matter" Rose said "But you see the funny thing is… I had a dream well sort of and I saw you in the form you are in now and you had a look about you, the same look you used to wear when I first met you. As if everything happy in your life had gone, and it scared me slightly Doctor it made me think." She said burying her head in his chest a little bit more.

"What did it make you think about?" the Doctor replied noticing her grip had tightened on him. She didn't speak for a while and it wasn't until he heard the sniff coming from her direction that he realised there was something wrong.

"Rose?" he said shifting himself and her into a sitting position "What is it, what's wrong?"

"I'm not like you Doctor" Rose replied after a minute "I age and die and one day I'm gonna leave you forever. I don't want to put you through the pain of it all"

"Oh Rose" the Doctor said lifting her chin up so he could meet her eyes. "One day something will happen whether it be of old age or of an accident and you will die. I won't lie because that would be wrong to do otherwise. But that isn't going to happen yet, so lets make the most of the time we have left" the Doctor said kissing her head. "What ever happens to us Rose, I will always love you that will never change"

She looked up at him and she saw the pain of talking about this reflected on his face like she knew it would be on her own.

"I'm not gonna lose you Rose, not now so don't worry" the Doctor said wiping a stray tear off that was still on her cheek.

"No?" Rose asked "But the dream…"

"No" the Doctor replied placing a kiss on her lips.

"But the dream…" Rose started but the Doctor placed a finger on her lips to silence her. "It wasn't…"

"It was just a dream Rose; it doesn't mean that anything is going to happen to you" the Doctor replied. "And even if it did I'd sort it. I promise"

"Ok" Rose said reaching up and kissing him gently resisting the urge to tell him that she knew it wasn't a dream, she wanted to tell him everything, except she didn't want to worry him and ruin the moment. "I love you"

"I love you too" the Doctor replied kissing her back just as gently. "Now how about you go and get a shower, you're still in those wet clothes and then we'll watch a film or something"

"Okay" Rose replied getting up and going out the room towards the showers, placing another kiss to his lips before she did so. "Oh I told Mum we'd be back for tea" she whispered in his ear and laughed when she heard the annoyed groan from his mouth.

"And just for that, you're sitting next to the twins"

AN: There you go another chapter done. You didn't really think they'd split up did you?
Sorry if it takes a while to update, but I have just started college so I don't quite know what the work load is going to be like. So I'm apologising now if it takes a while.

Hope you like it.

As always please leave a review. (You'll get a cookie)

Coming soon:

"There are stories, stories of wanderers that travelled through the stars. Myths, legends, fantasies even. Something that people don't necessarily believe, but there are people that do. They form groups, and worship these travellers… or one traveller in particular"

"What did these travellers do, how did they get around?"

"They went around in a blue box"
