Rose woke up with a smile on her face, it was her birthday today and she wasn't going to let anything or anyone spoil it. She knew she was going to enjoy this day because it was her first birthday with her dad and Poppy, all of them together as a family. She jumped out of bed, got ready then with a grin across her face she went downstairs.
"Morning birthday girl' Jackie said walking over to Rose and giving her a hug " I've got a surprise for you later"
Rose didn't say anything but the smile on her face spread into a huge grin!
"Ooh what is it? What is it?"
"There's no use im not gonna spill you'll have to wait and see, now come an open your presents there waiting for you in the lounge"
Rose was itching to know what her surprise was, she had opened all her presents and she was happy with all of them. She knew her mum had arranged for a few of her work friends to come over as well as some of Poppy's friends and their mums.
She was up in her room sorting out her presents when she suddenly remembered that the Doctor still hadn't called. There must be a good reason he wasn't that sort of a person, he cared, he wouldn't be so inconsiderate, after all he loved Rose.
She put on her new outfit; a strapless ¾ length dress (a lot like the one she wore when they went to the 50's), this dress was a beautiful rich pink with small embroidered roses on the bottom on the right hand side, she then put on a shawl which had a brooch on it, around her shoulders, she did her make-up, curled her hair, slipped on her shoes and put on her new necklace from Poppy. She walked down the stairs to show her family and was greeted with
"Awww Rose you look beautiful, that colour really suits you!" as she twirled around to show everyone her new outfit she walked over to the table and started helping unwrap the sandwiches and snacks.
It wasn't long before everyone started to arrive and soon the room was filled with her work mates and her mum's friends. Rose was having a great time, everyone kept commenting on how pretty she looked. Suddenly the lights went out and everyone started to sing Happy Birthday, her mum came towards her carrying her cake,
"Blow out the candles and make a wish sweetie"
Everyone was so busy they didn't see the mysterious stranger walk in and creep up on Rose, everyone that is apart from Jackie, who saw them clearly and simply broadened her smile and winked.
