Chapter 12

The stranger continued to creep up on Rose, once he was close enough he reached out and covered her eyes with his hands.

"Guess Who?"

Rose turned around and was shocked to see that her wish had come true, standing right in front of her was The Doctor, her Doctor, her one true love and he was here on her birthday.

"Hello stranger" he said as Rose thrust herself into his arms and held on for dear life afraid to let go in case he faded away.

"How did you get back" Rose said as tears began to slide down her face

"Sshhh" he said pushing a finger to her lips, " that doesn't matter know I will explain everything later" the Doctor said his own eyes welling up with tears, she looked at her mum who was also crying,

"Happy Birthday Rose" Jackie said to her daughter

"Was this my surprise mum? Did you know he was coming?"

Jackie didn't say anything she just nodded, all the guests were looking at one another as if too say what's all the fuss about? That was of course because they didn't know just how far the Doctor had travelled to be with Rose.

Rose grabbed the Doctor by the hand and led him upstairs. As soon as they reached Rose's bedroom they sat down on the bed and lay in each others arms, neither one of them could believe that they were together again.

"I just can't believe you're here, this is the best birthday ever!" Rose was so overwhelmed, she couldn't hold her tears back any longer, tears of happiness started to roll down her cheeks, when The Doctor noticed Rose was crying; by placing a finger under her chin, he gently brought up her head to look at him and wiped away the tears with his thumb, Rose smiled and leant her head into his palm and softly pressed her lips against it, then she beckoned the Doctor to come close

"hey let me whisper something in your ear, come here"

The doctor leant forward and Rose slowly whispered into his ear

" I love you so much, I am so glad you are here" he moved back away from Rose and grinned, then he leant forward and kissed Rose on the lips, once, twice, three times then saying "I love you too" he wrapped his arms around Rose's shoulder's kissed her passionately once more then said

"I think we better go downstairs, this is meant to be your birthday party, you need to introduce me to your little sister and one there's one more thing I need to show you."

"You being here is enough for me, I thought I was never going to see you again, yet here you are standing before me, there is nothing that can possibly make this day any better than it already is"

With that they walked hand in hand down the stairs to join in with the party they were together once again.
