The Doctor frowned at Rose for a moment then glanced around at the other inhabitants.
"C'mon," the Doctor said quietly, taking her hand and slipping out of the console room. No one noticed them heading down the corridor towards the infirmary where the Doctor began to scan Rose.
He was even more confused when the readings came back. He doubled checked and triple checked the prognosis but it still came back the same.
"Rose," the Doctor said coming over to her. "The baby's fine. You're fine."
"Then why can't I..?" Rose paused. "When I had Jack I knew he was there, it was a bit like the TARDIS voice in the back of my head. I always knew what he was doing, but now…"
The Doctor took Rose's hand gently.
"You're probably just stressed," he whispered. "But don't panic."
Rose nodded, running a hand through her hair.
"What are you gonna do with Mum and Mickey?" She asked. The Doctor shrugged.
"They'll have to stay here until I can deal with Torchwood," he replied.
"I?" Rose raised an eyebrow. "We."
"Rose," the Doctor knew he was going to have trouble now. "You're pregnant with a child that's growing ten times the rate it should be with your mother and Mickey on board. I can't risk Torchwood getting their hands on any of you, ok?"
Rose folded her arms.
"And I can't risk Torchwood getting their hands on you," she said firmly. "We've been through this before; I'm not letting you go alone."
The Doctor was going to argue back but they'd only end up going round in circles. He shrugged it off and stood up. Rose followed and the pair of them wandered back to the console room.
Charlie watched Jack talking animatedly Mickey and felt a pang of jealousy. It was obvious that Jack would pick to stay on the TARDIS once they'd sorted Torchwood out and Charlie wasn't sure he could cope with that.
He wouldn't beg Jack to stay if he really wanted to leave but at the same time he wouldn't be bale to say goodbye. He'd just slip away and confine himself to his flat. This had happened before.
Charlie had first gone out with a boy when he was seventeen and it had gone well, until things had turned nasty. Marc had got a bit over protective and started worrying about Charlie going off with someone else. This had resulted in Marc keeping Charlie in their flat twenty four seven, never being allowed out for anything.
When Marc had left him Charlie had became agoraphobic, never going out even though he could now. His mother was never around to help him, spending all her time working at Torchwood. Five months down the line however when Charlie had to leave his flat because Yvonne needed him for an experiment he met Jack.
It took another few months for Charlie to bag himself a job that didn't require him to come in very often, but did mean that he would be working with Jack a lot. The first time they kissed was a little too much for Charlie and Jack made it his mission to help his new found friend.
Charlie sighed, leaning against the rails in the console room and watching Jack, Mickey and Jackie laughing about something. Baby Jack wandered over and put his arms out expectantly. Charlie smiled slightly and bent down to pick him up.
"Why are you sad?" Jack asked as the Doctor and Rose sidled back into the room and started setting the coordinates on the console. Charlie was slightly surprised that a two year old could see what his boyfriend couldn't.
"I'm sad because…" Charlie paused, wondering how best to explain. "Because I don't think my best friend wants to be friends anymore."
Jack glanced across t his namesake before looking back at Charlie.
"Why doesn't he want to be friends?" Jack frowned.
"Because I can't give him what he wants," Charlie replied sighing again. Jack leant against Charlie sucking his thumb, saying no more on the subject.
"Right, listen up people," The Doctor said leaving Rose for a moment to steer the TARDIS whilst he spoke to everyone. "We've got to sort out Torchwood, so I'm gonna need you, Jackie to look after Jack for us-"
"But I don't need looking after!" Jack joked nudging Mickey. The Doctor gave him a withering look before continuing.
"Jack, Charlie and Mickey, we'll need you to be on call in case we need a distraction and whatever you, DON'T WANDER OFF," he finished knowing that those words would probably be forgotten later and he'd end up having to save one or more of his companions.
Jack, Mickey, Charlie and Jackie looked at him and nodded. The Doctor glanced at Rose as the TARDIS landed and she smiled faintly, holding out her hand to him. He took it and the pair of them walked to the doors and opened them stepping out into the store cupboard they'd landed in.
"Be careful," Jackie said as they went and Rose gave her the thumbs up before closing the door behind her.
"Whatever you do, do not get split up from me," the Doctor whispered as he checked that the coast was clear. "If Yvonne gets hold of you again she won't be as kind as she was last time and if she finds out you're pregnant again then we'll probably never see each other again."
Rose was startled by how brutally honest the Doctor was but at the same time she didn't need telling twice how important it was not to be caught.
They wandered as quietly as possible down the corridor, darting into rooms whenever anyone came down the corridor. Their main objective was to reach Yvonne's office and override the security systems to destroy all the files. Of course they weren't counting on the fact that Yvonne was already waiting for them.
