Rose slept soundly that night. Of course the warmth of the Doctor's body beside her helped. The TARDIS itself seemed very content, humming what sounded like a tune as it hovered in the vortex.
When Rose finally awoke some hours later she was pleasantly surprised to find the Doctor hadn't left her to go and 'tinker'. When she turned to look at him she found he was wide awake and probably had been for several hours. Rose wasn't even sure if he'd actually gone to sleep.
"Hello," Rose smiled sleepily.
"Hi," the Doctor replied quietly. "Sleep well?"
"Yup," Rose stretched under the duvet, and sought out the Doctor's hand.
"Maybe we should find somewhere relaxing to visit after this," the Doctor said squeezing her fingers gently.
"Yeah," Rose agreed. "Somewhere I don't have to use much mental energy."
"Ok," the Doctor laughed. "So that'll be Earth then?"
"Oi!" Rose whacked him with a free hand.
The Doctor smiled slightly and pulled Rose closer to him. Rose grinned as the Doctor wrapped his arms round her.
"I love you," Rose whispered.
"Love you too," the Doctor replied gently rubbing her back.
