And so concludes my story….. for now. Please note that I own nothing, the BBC has that honour.

"There were those that tried to tell me that you were just a memory."

"Oh, Rose. I'm sorry you had to go through all that."

"I knew that you were more than a memory. I knew that someday we would find each other again. I knew that you would know your son. I knew that impossible really meant, 'Not for a really long time'. I never gave up hope, Doctor. I knew we'd be together again."

"Oh, Rose. I really thought that you were gone for good. I thought that we would never see each other again. The TARDIS knew better than I did. You know I don't deserve this." The Doctor said as he held his wife even closer. "I don't deserve being happy like this, Jack, you, friends like Jack Harkness."

"Why don't you deserve to be happy? You deserve it more than most."

"The things I have done, Rose. All the things I've done…"

"Saving people, saving planets. Those are reasons you deserve to be happy. I'm just happy that you are happy with me."

"So am I, Rose. So am I."

He reached out to touch her face and kissed her with a tenderness and a passion them soaring. They made love again and afterwards she fell asleep in his embrace, content and peaceful for the first time since saying goodbye those long months ago.

Their son woke him from his peaceful sleep. He looked at his wife, lost in her own peaceful sleep, eased himself from their entanglement and got up smiling. Pulling on his discarded trousers from the previous night, he shuffled into Jack's nursery, looked at him with awe and lifted him from his cot.

Softly, the Doctor spoke. "Jacksoneventularian Peter Tyler-Sigma, I promise to love you, to be the best dad I can, to take you to places that will amaze and frighten you, to teach you all I know and, above all, love your mother with both my hearts for the rest of my life.

After changing the young one's nappy, the Doctor brought Jack in to see his mother. Rose was stirring and became fully awake when she saw her family. Finally, mother and father, husband and wife, two lovers were at peace with the multiverse.
