Chapter 2

Rose was lying on her bed just looking up at the ceiling imagining she was staring into space for real, she had been for ages now, she was trying so hard to think about him, but every time she closed her eyes, there he was, his smile the smile that made her melt inside. It had done form the very first moment she had seen it. Even though the smile was there the most she occasionally saw the face that showed such worry and sorrow the face he had shown when she was being sucked into the void. That was the time when she saw the loneliness and sadness in his eyes mostly because he was loosing Rose and it was his fault she was going to die, but also because losing Rose would mean that he would be on his own again. That was the worst thing, knowing that he was totally alone. At least she had her family, but The Doctor had no one, 2 hearts but no family, not any more. Rose had her Mum, Dad and Mickey, and soon enough she would have a baby sister too. She was due in just over two months and everybody was so excited. At this moment in her life it was just about the only thing Rose had to look forward to. She had work but working for Torchwood just reminded her of all the things she had seen when she was with The Doctor and all the things she was missing out on, all the monster and aliens she had left to meet but now she never would. But she hated Torchwood because it was their fault that Rose and The Doctor got separated in the first place, if they hadn't been trying to capture anything that was alien then they never would have let those Cybermen through who were pretending to be 'ghosts', they would never have had the sphere which enabled the daleks to return to earth, they would never had captured The Doctor, Rose and Jackie in The TARDIS when they came to investigated the ghosts and then if all that had not had happened then Rose would not have been forced to choose between her family and The Doctor and she would not have been separated from the man / alien she loved. Except it wasn't this Torchwood it was the Torchwood on the other earth, the real earth, the earth she had grew up on. Knowing that made her working there just bearable enough for her to be there 9am till 4pm, 4 days a week, at least now she had money to go shopping with, she would be using this months pay to buy a present for her mum and the baby, her mum deserves a treat, after all she was the one who had been there for Rose all her life.

At that moment Rose looked up to see her mum standing in the doorway, cup of tea in one hand the other on her stomach, she smiled at Rose then walked off singing to herself, this was the happiest Rose had seen her mum for ages.

In the corner of her room, in her bag Rose's phone bleeped

" I'll put it on charge later, not as if I have any friends who will ring me anyway is it, there all back on the other earth, the real earth." With that Rose rolled over closed her eyes and tried to forget everything.
