Jackie Tyler nearly beat the living shit out of the Doctor. Rose wondered if the medical bay was going to be necessary.
The Doctor and Rose had materialized in the Tyler living room. Mickey and Josie were watching Izzy for the afternoon, so this was the perfect time for Jackie to learn of the event that would, again, change her life forever.
It was later that the Doctor realized that bringing the TARDIS in the living room, where the mother lion resided, was walking into pure danger. As soon as Rose opened the doors, Jackie leaped into the TARDIS on a kill mission for the Doctor.
It took Pete, Rose and a very confused butler to pull Jackie off of the bruised up Doctor.
"You bloody piece of shit! How dare you come back into our lives after making us go through the fucking hell you let my daughter go through!"
A couple of hours later, the four of them were in the dining room. Jackie was still coming to terms with what was happening. Of course, she knew, but she didn't want to believe. Or want it to happen. But deep down, she knew Rose would never be happy unless she was with the Doctor.
Seeing Mickey was a different experience. He was a bit calmer. He also announced that he had finally popped the question to Josie. Everyone was more than happy for the new engaged couple.
"What about you two?" Mickey asked, knowing the atmosphere it would cause. "You're going to go off again and what about us? Thought last time was the last we'd see of you."
The Doctor shifted, uncomfortable under the attention.
"Truth is, I made a lot of sacrifices to come here. Sacrifices I can't make again to come back."
The room got very quiet.
Until a little four-year-old spoke her mind.
"I think you and Rosie make a cute couple. Take care of her, Doctor. She's my only sister."
Rose and her mum started crying after hearing that.
There were more tears and pictures taken within the next seven hours. They had to be gone by then.
Rose privately said good bye to each of her family individually. This would be the last time.
Early in the wee hours, they were off. Rose made sure to keep a smile on her face. Then she went to her old room on the TARDIS while the Doctor took them home.
