"it's yours.." The Doctor sat on the couch and watched as Rory assessed Rose's current condition , "what happened?" Clara asked as soon as she got the chance. Rose gave her questioning look , "for you to do that to yourself" Clara pointed at her arm that now had a bandage on it. Rose didn't really have an answer but she made it simple "I just..had a bit of a..umm-sometimes things from the past- haunt me and I can't control myself." she made up her mind on what to say. "why Didn't you tell me , you know- bout traveling with the doctor and stuff?" Clara brought up the topic both Rose and The Doctor had been dreading to answer. Rose looked at Rory who shrugged and replied "well-someone had to tell her.." Rose looked back at Clara and glanced at the Doctor, "cause you probably would've thought I was crazy she said softly.
It was afternoon now and Clara had helped Rose clean up the bathroom well Rory and The Doctor went to buy a new mirror. The two men strode down the busy street and past the café Rose and Rory had once sat with each other. Rory didn't feel like talking much , and The doctor had a lot more on his mind then what the average person could tell. He couldn't understand how the baby could be his , and why would Rose lie that she was raped again? Did she not know how over done that was? He brushed it off though because it was the only reasonable explanation especially if she'd had to explain she was pregnant to Rory. "but how's it mine?" the doctor mumbled and shook his head , Rory turned his head to give him a look of interest , "what's yours?" he eyed the doctor. The Doctor wanted to go bang his head into a wall un-till he regenerated , "nothing Rory-its none of your business" The Doctor shot –even though it most definitely was Rory's business "sorry was just curious" Rory rolled his eyes as they entered the furniture shop to pick out a new mirror.
Clara watched as Rose carefully threw the rest of the broken glass into a plastic bag and then put it in the garbage bin , to Clara it seemed as if Rose was used to picking up broken things and cleaning up. She wondered how Rose had felt , being in the parallel world –alone and then having a duplicate doctor who had a different face but a face Rose had known, beat her and hurt her. Clara felt guilt even though she knew as well as Rose no one could have done anything Clara still wished she had been there for Rose. It had been 6 years since she had last seen her, and she thought she was dead when she was really being yelled at and told lies , Clara was still mourning her death at the time and she didn't even know the pain her friend had been going through. Clara wiped a rolling tear from her cheek before Rose could notice and sat up off the back of the couch. Rose turned around to the friendly face who had done so much for her and she lied to her when she really could have told her the truth. Rose knew Clara understood though, she walked over to Clara and opened her arms after Clara and the two hugged each other tight. "I'm sorry.." Rose exhaled "for what?" Clara said her voice muffled into Roses shoulder "for lying , for not telling you anything and then not looking for you when I returned and being to focused on other people when I should've been thinking of you...your my best friend –it's not fair to you that I ran off with a stranger and didn't once think about what I was doing" Rose couldn't say anything else as the sadness took over and she closed her eyes letting the tears fall. Clara just stared at the wall thinking, "it's okay , I know –I did the same thing , It's alright now , because your back and I'm back and were right here right now ,reunited... best friends again. We each lived an adventure and we still are and you know what? It's perfectly fine that you ran off with a stranger, because you deserved that adventure and he gave you the stars" she sobbed and squeezed Rose tighter trying to finish her sentence.
"he's mad Rose insane he's amazing though ,and anyone would've been stupid enough to give up the option of travelling with him is crazy , because he truly is brilliant and I understand that you did what you did to be by his side , fighting enemies and exploring. You and I we both deserved this journey and I'm glad I could share it with you, and so .. if you ever get another chance-promise me Rose , promise?" she assured Rose was following "I promise" Rose replied still holding the brunette " promise me that.. that if you ever-ever get another chance to go see the stars and explore space and time , that , you'll take the opportunity no matter what the cause.." Clara finished with cried out eyes. Rose held her back at arm's length and the two made eye contact "promise.." Rose smiled , and she would keep that promise.
Rory and The Doctor emerged with a cardboard box containing a mirror that The doctor had picked out for Rose, and wouldn't leave the store without it, he had even threatened to give Rory a famous Tyler slap which luckily got him to agree to the mirror. The Doctor was filled with joy , he grinned like a toddler madly excited to give someone a gift trying extremely hard not give away what it was. Rory was trying hard to hold back a laugh at the mad smile The Doctor was shining the whole time after he had agreed to letting him buy the mirror , Rory would never admit it but he felt a warmth grow on him , he missed traveling in the TARDIS and the smile the Doctor made when he discovered something completely obvious and even though the doctor was doing this for Rose he wasn't jealous. He walked on with the raggedy man taking turns holding the skinny box dodging people in the busy street as it started to empty and turned into early evening. "hey-" Rory grabbed The Doctors attention as they walked in the cool breeze "yes Rory" The Doctor spun around like a five year old to face him "sorry , that I lashed out at you the other day" Rory tried to apologize ,"it's fine" The Doctor said in return "no really-" Rory wanted him to know but the Doctor knew and The Doctor didn't want Rory to apologize "it's fine!-really Rory!" The doctor exclaimed as his voice hitched , Rory didn't deserve to say sorry , not after what The doctor found out about Rose's baby and- his..they finally reached the flat and hurried up stairs and opened the door Rose and Clara sleeping on the couch well frozen played on the T.V. Rory chuckled "well she finally has someone to share her Disney love with." The Doctor just stood and smiled , 2 of his companions he'd never expected to be friends looked like little children one arm draped over the other having fallen asleep watching a princess movie , "hey" Rory whispered and nodded his head towards the bathroom and The Doctor followed down the hall "lets surprise them and set it up" Rory explained.
Later that evening Clara and Rose worked to cook dinner well The Doctor and Rory finished cleaning and setting up the bathroom , they all sat down together and ate chatting about the good parts of the day ignoring all the conversations the four of them had had earlier. The Doctor finished quickly and rinsed his dishes and yelled as he ran out the door "BrB!" Rose dropped her fork and Rory closed his eyes in embarrassment well Clara just sat stunned. The Doctor fled Down the stairs in hope that the TARDIS would let him in this one time , it was important. He exited the building and rushed through the alley way towards the wooden blue box. He grinned as he slowed down skidding to a halt in front of the box nervous for what she would do. He slowly reached for the handle and grabbed a hold of it but when he went to push...the door stayed firm , didn't budge , The Doctors hearts sunk , he couldn't get what he needed anywhere else , he banged the door once with his fist hard and slid down leaning his back against the blue door. He didn't want to move or go back upstairs, what point was there? Only a couple minutes later did he hear distant footsteps, he didn't think much of them until he saw the familiar black flats that Rose wore. His eyes followed them up to her face, her eyebrows furrowed "what's wrong?" she asked him as she floated down to his level and kneeled beside him. The Doctor breathed and held his head down "I need to get something from inside the TARDIS" , "what do you need?" Rose requested awaiting his answer "it's a surprise" he informed her "oh" she giggled "well why won't she let you in?" she sent another question his way "because , she thinks I'll fly off and never return.." The Doctor dropped his faded smiled and frowned. Rose looked around worried and then sat herself down beside him against the TARDIS "well-would you?" she catechized , the doctor wouldn't lie to Rose "well I want to , but for one , Clara's upstairs and two , I still have some discussing to do with you" he made a half smile and then fell back as the TARDIS door swung open , Rose stifled a laugh which turned into a snort. The doctor threw his hands up "yes!" he yelled and jumped up, running down the TARDIS hallway in search of something , in all the huff he hadn't noticed Rose follow him in.
Rose felt like the room was spinning as she looked every which way, it was completely different! Changed into a silver looking room with Gallifreyan written on panels above the console, along with two staircases on each side and different choices of hallways leading to who knows where. Rose couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in her as she realized, it was changed ...everything was completely changed she wondered if anything from her past on the TARDIS was left, she wanted to know if this is what it looked like when the Doctor had met the ponds or if it was all Clara had ever gotten to see. She didn't want to be upset but she was, this use to be home once upon a time and no it was not the same old home she had grown to love, instead it felt empty she could feel a tear slide down the side of her face and she rubbed it away grumbling at herself "no don't do that" she scolded herself , she was shocked to look up and see The doctor hiding the object he needed and watching her. "Rose" his voice was deep, "I'm fine" Rose shot before he could go on "no." The Doctor stared at her knowing that she wasn't okay, he didn't expect her to walk right in but then again why wouldn't she, the TARDIS was practically her sister. Rose could feel something tugging at the back of her mind almost-like.. humming-music! It was the TARDIS , gently humming was what the TARDIS was doing and strangely enough it calmed Rose , the music of the TARDIS was the only thing familiar but it felt better to listen then to see.
Before Rose knew it she was caught in a pair of arms that belonged to the doctor her eyes snapped open and the words spilled out "what the hell just happened!" "you fainted!" the doctor explained and grabbed under her knees to carry her like a princess , holding his surprise in his hand where she couldn't see. "weird.." she scrunched her face , "did anything else happen before that?" the doctor said cautiously , Rose thought about it for a second as the music faded in her mind "no-you can put me down also" she said a bit sheepishly , The Doctor just grinned and carried her out of the TARDIS , he closed his eyes to speak to the TARDIS quickly before he returned upstairs "thank you."
Clara was laughing at something Rory said when The Doctor walked in with a dizzy Rose all though she didn't tell him that , "umm-" Rory said confused "I fainted..and he refused to let me walk" Rose rolled her eyes in good humor "okay!, I'll be right back" The doctor announced and ran off to the bath room with his surprise still in hand , fortunately Rose hadn't seen and he assumed Clara hadn't either considering she rushed over to Rose to squeal about something, Rory had followed the doctor and stood in the door way watching as the Doctor pulled out a round orb shape "umm-doctor what is that?" Rory pointed at the blue ball like object. The Doctor pressed a button on the side which allowed it to open slowly and reveal a gold light "what the.." Rory eyes went huge , he recognised the light – he had seen it before. "time energy" The Doctor grinned and Rory watched in horror and amazement as the Time energy went directly to the mirror with the Red rim and dissolved into the glass "what did you-" Rory tried to talk but the doctor just pressed a finger to his lips so Rory shut-up and watched. The gold light swam in the in the reflection of the mirror and formed roses and wolves in movements like finger circles , then a picture of Rose and Clara appeared in the corner hugging , in the bottom right directly across from Rose and Clara was the TARDIS with Rose and Rory sitting outside of it in the bottom left was Rory and Rose kissing by the lamp post , Rory thought it was amazing "you see the TARDIS sees all , the past ,and the future, so now the time energy is taking images from past , and present ,and placing them on the mirror but in a cartoon way" The Doctor explained pointing and moving his hands in different directions "she is taking important moments from Rose's memory and building images on the mirror" Rory watched as in the last corner a picture formed of Rose and The Doctor sitting on the couch , the doctor cupping her cheek and kissing her. "doctor" Rory's voice raised and The Doctor winced at the sound because he knew what Rory was going to bring up , "I thought that it took memories from past and present?" "it does" The doctor made a nervous laugh. "I'm gonna kill you" Rory stated "I know" The Doctor gulped and started down the hall yelling "Rose!" "Rose –he's threatening to kill me!" "great" Rose said to Clara who laughed and Rose continued to get up as Rory came galloping into the living room and glared at her "you let him kiss you!" , Rose wasn't excepting that remark "calm down" she raised her hands and began to slowly pace herself walking towards him "that was this morning wasn't it?" he spat , The room went silent and the doctor stood away from the wall and walked closer to Rory and Rose "I was tired it was a stupid thing" The Doctor brushed it away "you said –important moments though!" Rory argued. Rose's heart sunk, that moment wasn't important to the doctor ? in the midst of Rory getting angry Rose said one word "what.." her voice cracked The Doctor looked at her and realized what he had said "no-Rose!" but she had already walked away and slammed the bathroom door.
"great.." Rory threw his arms up in the air and walked away to his and Rose's room and slammed the door identical to Rose "Clara wait here" he whipped around and back making sure she was on the couch Clara rolled her eyes "this is his problem –not mine " she repeated to herself.
Rose dabbed the tears from her eyes not having looked at the mirror yet she turned and faced the wall , out of the corner of her eye she could see a razor blade and the temptation grew , "no" she kept telling herself , the duplicates words crawled into her mind "do it-do it Rose!" the real Doctors voice stopped it though "please –Rose! Listen , it is! Please let me in-please" Rose thought back to the night before when he begged to love her and she thought it over more then five times , "is it important?" she asked , she waited patiently "yes" The Doctor sounded defeated , Rose slowly turned the handle still not having looked at the mirror the doctor pushed himself in shutting the door behind him and looked Rose over making sure she hadn't done anything to herself again. "have you looked?" were the first words to come out of his mouth "what do you mean?" Rose tilted her head and crossed her arms "the mirror" the doctor nodded his head to the mirror behind her "no" she looked down. The Doctor grabbed her waist and turned around slowly as she kept her head down , he placed his head on her shoulder and whispered "look-please" Rose slowly lifted her head up , her face brightened as she examined the mirror and the cartoon like pictures and the words Badwolf written at the top , her eyes stopped on the picture of her kissing the doctor "that's important to me" The Doctor broke her concentration , she smiled a bit. This was wrong. "how is it mine Rose?" he brought up the topic she didn't want to have to explain "I was working with torchwood six months ago and decided to use my vortex manipulator , and ..I found you and you know the rest." Rose exhaled and looked away from the Doctor. The memory came flooding back to him , he understood she had cheated in a way."Rose" he kissed her ear. This was so wrong. He didn't know how he couldn't remember that night with Rose but some memories were hidden on purpose the only thing was is that he loved that memory, the doctor placed a hand on her stomach and looked at the reflection in the mirror he slowly followed up Rose's pink shirt and made eye contact with her, "it's a girl" Rose said firmly. He could feel her heart pounding his did the same he waited un-till their hearts were in sync and turned her around and picked her up to sit on the edge of the sink. This was very wrong. "Rose Tyler" he smiled like a maniac , Rose rapped her legs around him and cupped his face with her hands staring into his green eyes , he was different but so very the same and during that moment he was nothing like the duplicate he was her doctor and she was finally his-his Rose.
"what do you want to name her' Rose surprised him with the question but he instantly answered "Donna Ozwin Tyler" He grinned , Rose said nothing just nodded in agreement. "I love you" The Doctor said with no hesitation this time and he most certainly meant it , Rose crushed her lips against his to kiss him and wouldn't let go.
The Doctor pushed her shirt up a bit with one hand and kissed her back , he didn't want to stop this moment it felt to real , to good , to natural.
He kissed her un-till she wanted to stop and he understood how humans could last so long when kissing , he loved her to much. "doctor" she sighed between there lips and smiled holding on not letting go for a moment , she didn't even hear the engagement ring slide off her finger and drop to the floor.
This was so very wrong.
And Rose Tyler loved it.
