Rose breathed in sharply. She spun around and stared, gob smacked, at the doctor.

"Oh my God," She managed to whisper.

The doctor smiled. "Hi Rose," He said. Only two words, but they were enough to make Rose's heart skip a beat.

"I'm dreaming," she said, "Pinch me."

"Never," Said the doctor, now grinning. He opened his arms and Rose fell into them. He could feel her wet tears on his shoulder and he hugged her tighter. He ran his fingers through her hair and joined in with her crying, their tears mingled. The Doctor placed kisses all around Roses face and caught her lips in a long passionate kiss. They stayed like that for a while, every so often pulling back for a deep breath.

After a few minutes Rose pulled back and placed a hand to the doctor's face. "You're really back?" She whispered, slowly caressing his cheek. The doctor felt his whole body tingle. He had her again and this time he wasn't going to lose her.

She was waiting for his answer so he said, "Yes," and pressed his lips against hers. She let out a small moan and pulled him closer. She ran her hands up and down his back. The doctor pressed Rose against the wall and caressed Rose's face. Suddenly the Doctor pulled back. Rose opened her eyes and stared at him.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

He looked at her and smiled sadly. "What's going to happen?" he asked.

"What do you mean?" Rose asked, really confused. "Do you want to sit down? We can go to my bedroom if you want."

The Doctor nodded, "Sure," he muttered. The walked past the bathroom door and into Rose's room. The Doctor sat down on Rose's big soft bed and Rose shut the door. She came and sat beside him. The doctor took Rose's hands and held them in his own, rubbing them softly.

"So what's wrong?" She asked.

The Doctor looked at the floor, unable to look Rose in the eyes. "It's just, what's going to happen after this. I mean, I come here and we make out and then what?"

"I don't know," Rose said, suddenly thinking about all those things. "I guess I just wasn't thinking about that."

The doctor looked up and caught Rose's glance in his. Their eyes locked and it felt to both of them, like they were the only beings in the world. "But we need to," The doctor said, still not breaking the connection. "Rose, will you come with me?"

This time is was Rose who was unable to look at her companion. She looked at a photo hanging on the wall of her and her mum on Christmas day. Her mum was drunk and had a bright pink party hat on, and Rose was trying to hold her up. They were both grinning madly. Could she leave that all?

"Would I have to go forever?" Rose asked breaking the silence that had surrounded them both for what felt like ages.

"Most probably," The doctor answered, "It was complete luck that there was a hole in the vortex so that I was able to come and see you. There is practically no chance you would ever come back here."

Rose nodded to show she understood. "Is the hole going to close soon?" she asked.

"Yep," The doctor said simply, "In few hours. I'm not trying to rush you but you have to make a decision soon."

Rose turned to look at him, a bright smile on her face. "You can stay with us!" She cried, "You can look after this world!"

The doctor shook his head sadly, "No, I'm sorry. This isn't my universe, the other universe is and I have to look after it."

"This isn't my universe either but I've managed fine!"

"It's not the same."

Rose let out a big sigh, "I guess."

"So?" The doctor asked, urging her on.

"I've made up my mind. I'm sure it's the right decision."

The doctor waited patiently as Rose got up enough courage to say, "I have to stay here." She watched the doctor's face drop. She hated herself for making him look like that.

"Right," He said, "That was what I was dreading you would say." He smiled, trying to cover his sadness but failing terribly. "Well, I guess there's no point me staying. I better go." He stood up and faced Rose. She stood up as well. Their bodies were pressed next to each other and Rose inhaled his all too familiar smell. "Goodbye." He said and placed a gentle kiss on Rose's soft lips.

He walked out of Rose's room and down the stairs. He was in such a hurry to leave that he banged into Charles. "I'm sorry sir. Can I help you with anything?"

"Do you know where Jackie and Pete are?" he asked the solemn butler.

"They're in the kitchen. Would you like me to take you there?"

"I'm fine thanks," He tried to grin but only managed a half smile.

He hurried over to the kitchen door and walked in. Jackie and Pete were sat on a small table in the far corner. The turned when they heard the door open.

"Doctor!" Pete cried. He stood up and walked over to him.

"I just came to say goodbye and thank you for you're kindness."

"You're leaving?" Jackie asked and stood up. She walked over and joined her husband. "Why?"

"Rose decided that she would rather stay here with you two and Jack than come with me. Anyway I need to leave soon otherwise the hole in the vortex will close up."

"Oh."

"Thank you." The Doctor turned to leave.

"Wait." Jackie said. The doctor turned back to face her. "We'll come and say goodbye."

The walked out to the TARDIS. The Doctor took one last look at the house and stepped inside the TARDIS. He wave to Jackie and Pete who had their arms around each other. "Goodbye," He cried and shut the door.

In the background he could hear a distant "Wait! Wait!" He opened the door and sure enough, there was Rose standing nest to her parents, a big blue bag in one hand. "Let me come with you!" She cried. The Doctor grinned. Rose dropped her bag and started to run towards him, the doctor did the same. They met in the middle in a deep embrace.

"I love you," Rose whispered.

"I love you too," The doctor said into Rose's hair.


"I'm so glad you changed your mind." The doctor said stroking Rose's cheek.

Rose smiled. She had never been happier. Her head was resting on the doctor's bare chest and their naked bodies were entwined under the covers of her new double bed on the TARDIS.
