I'VE BEEN LAYING HINTS FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND I WANT TO KNOW IF YOU CAUGHT ON ALSO THE NEW CHAPTER FOR THE OTHER WAY AROUND IS ON ITS WAY, SORRY FOR THE DELAY IN THAT. LOVE YA. (Still not on the turn xoxoxox)

A few weeks after the news of The Doctor and Rose's apparent new forever, they were both in a happy place in their lives. Rose had just hit seven months pregnant and was a little annoyed at having to waddle around everywhere. Saving the world had gone from 'occasionally' to not at all, and any danger had been set back to after baby was born. The Doctor and Rose unfortunately, still hadn't agreed on a name.

"Do you know what we should do?" Rose asked one day, as they sat in the console room, debating where to go next. They had spent a few days confined inside the TARDIS, and although the TARDIS was ever growing and ever adding new rooms- The Doctor and Rose were not very good at staying in the same place for very long. The Doctor leaned back on the console, facing Rose who was sitting on the jump seat.

"What should we do, Rose Tyler?" he asked, her name rolling of his tongue effortlessly. Rose almost visibly shivered. She loved the way he said her name.

"We should go and see Jack at torchwood, I mean he did look after you- so we should go and say thanks."

The Doctor considered for a moment, and then decided that it was a generally good idea, as Jack had really been there for him. Also The Doctor wanted to check out the untranslatable message that Jack had received through the void that worried him. He hadn't gotten the chance to listen to it, what with Rose collapsing and what not, but it felt strange to him. Almost familiar.

"Okay then Rosie Posie, let's go and visit Jack." He said with a smile, turning round and flipping a leaver. Rose noticed how rides had been a lot smoother since she had fallen pregnant, so she smiled up at the ceiling, her way of telling the TARDIS thank you. She hadn't mastered proper contact with the TARDIS like The Doctor had, but she could feel the TARDIS' mental presence slowly making itself known in her head. The doctor said that possibly by the time Baby was born she would be able to communicate with the TARDIS a lot clearer. At the time Rose had pouted in annoyance at not being able to sooner, but The Doctor just chuckled, kissed her head and told her that these things take time.

The TARDIS landed with a soft tap to the ground, and Rose knew that they were at torchwood. "She's been a smooth ride recently, I must be getting even better at flying her than before" The doctor mused to himself, and Rose just smiled discreetly to herself. She could let the doctor have this one for his ego. They stepped outside and noticed that it was now autumn, and summer had passed just as quickly as it came. The Doctor screwed up his nose, "So much for British summertime," He said sarcastically before turning to Rose with his hands in his pockets "Come on then, time sense practice, what date is it?"

Rose screwed her face up in thought, and closed her eyes trying to feel time around her. It was a strange sensation, being able to feel time but she kind of liked it. She finally relaxed her face, and opened her eyes. "September twelfth, about half three?" she said, half asking.

"Close," The Doctor said, wincing "September Tenth, and about hmm," he sniffed the air "Three o'clock"

Rose sighed, and The Doctor took one hand out of his pocket and wove his fingers through hers. "Hey don't worry, you're just starting out. You'll get better, trust me I'm The Doctor." He smiled, kissing her hand before setting off walking towards the torchwood entrance, their hands interlocked swinging between them.

oOo

When they got into torchwood, they were greeted with a grin and a kiss for both of them from Jack "Doc, Rose good to see you." He said.

"Jack, I missed ya." Rose said, giving him a hug.

"Missed you too Rosie, glad to see you're all okay now. Looking big too."

"I know, I know he's growing fast." Rose said beaming

"Thought of a name yet?"

The doctor groaned "Not yet, we still can't decide."

Jack just laughed "Hey, I know you two and I know you'll find a name that you love. As soon as you see the little guys face, you'll know his name."

Rose smiled, and felt a warm spot inside of her. Jack always knew what to say.

"So any particular reason you came over? Knowing you doc, it wasn't just for a friendly chat."

"Well," The Doctor said, rubbing his neck "Mostly the chat and to say, thanks for- for looking after me for a little while." Jack smirked "Yeah, shut up. Also I thought if you still had it, I could take a look at that audio recording?"

"The one from the parallel universe?"

"That's the one."

Rose rolled her eyes, "well I'll leave you boys to play with your toys, I'm going to go and help the girls over at alien identification." And with that she was off, hands in the pockets of her hoodie. The Doctor and Jack watched her be greeted by Gwen and Tosh who smiled and gave her a hug, and gestured to her stomach and Jack rolled his eyes. "That's girl code for 'I'm going to go and drink tea and gossip" he said, laughing

"You don't know how right you are," The Doctor mumbled "anyway this recording."

OoO

The Doctor was shocked. Visibly shocked. He suddenly found himself unable to speak, move, walk or talk but his eyes and ears were fixed on the recording in front of him. Jack was eyeing him oddly, and then he found the strength from somewhere to utter the words "Play it again." Jack complied suspiciously, and pressed the button to play it again. He noticed The Doctor's sharp intake of breath.

"What is it Doc? Why won't it translate for me?"

The doctor gulped "It's Gallifreyan, Jack. It's a help cry"

"There are timelords in other universes?

"Nope he was from here…"

"He?"

"Yeah he. More than any other 'He' Jack. Oh God."

"Who is it Doc? Do you know them?"

"I know them better than anyone. Better than Rose."

"Doc who is it?"

"It's my brother."

Jack looked at the doctor, who was standing upright in a ridged position, his face stoic. "Rose!" he called. Rose would know what to do.

OoO

"It's really him?" Rose asked astonished, as the doctor speed walked back to the TARDIS, the audio in hand with Jack and Rose not far behind.

"Oh yeah, it all makes sense now!" The Doctor said, screwing his face up at how idiotic he'd been "a parallel universe. A dammed parallel universe! How could I not have guessed" he kicked a nearby shop window.

"Hey doctor," Rose said soothingly "It's okay doctor. You wouldn't have known" she tried to lightly grab his arm. He shrugged out of her grasp.

"It's all my fault," he said angrily "how could I have been such an idiot!"

"alright doc, no need to take it out on Rosie okay?"

"Jack I haven't seen my brother since the day he disappeared almost nine hundred years ago. I don't know how long he could've been in this parallel universe for! Centuries… I don't know Jack! All I know is that I am going to find him. And pry that he forgives me."

Jack was confused "why would he blame you for him being…taken?"

"not for that Jack. For the time war."

And with that The Doctor was off in a sprint towards the TARDIS leaving jack and Rose strolling behind. Rose knew that he blamed himself for the time war, and wanted to get to his brother as soon as possible to help him but she knew that he wouldn't leave her here, so she didn't bother to quicken her pace.

"What's with him? I mean I know he's finally found his brother and all, by the way since when did The Doctor even have a brother?"

"Since always, but he disappeared when he was eighteen and The Doctor about sixteen. He's never known what happened to him since so this is big for him. Also-being in a parallel world, he wouldn't know what happened to Gallifrey and The Doctor blames himself for that."

"Oh crap, I hope he doesn't do something he regrets."

"Me neither Jack, me neither…"

oOo

Once they were in the TARDIS, The Doctor was still in the same mood that Rose new all too well. He wouldn't listen to reason, let alone her or Jack. He was rushing around the console in psycho babble about how he could possible enter the parallel world.

"Now this parallel world isn't going to be like Pete's world, it's closer and therefore easier to get through as we will be going through the other side of the void than before. But it's not going to be easy. Rose, come here" he said, beckoning Rose over.

Rose walked towards him, and suddenly found herself in what appeared to be an invisible enclosed space. She put her fingers against the glass and banged on it, nothing happened. She could still see and hear The Doctor quietly.

"Can you hear me?" he asked

She nodded.

"Good, this is a little force field I've been working on, it'll keep you and baby safe during the ride, because its not going to be a smooth one."

"Okay," she mouthed. And then gasped slightly as she felt a slight nudge in her mind, she could feel love, and apology and realised quickly that it was from The Doctor.

"I love you too," she mouthed and he smiled, quickly inputting the co-ordinates and babbling to Jack about how to help him. And suddenly with a lurch they were off and Rose felt surprisingly still. She could see Jack and The Doctor flying about as she stood completely still as it nothing was happening before. She could feel the TARDIS spinning slightly but her feet stayed firmly planted on the floor although Jack and The Doctor tumbled about. It was an odd sensation. She could feel Baby tensing up in his mind so she gave him a reassuring nudge that everything was going to be okay, and felt him relax.

After around ten minuets Jack and The Doctor stood up, and Rose felt the walls dissolve around her. She immediately ran to The Doctor, who hugged her tightly. "are you okay?" he asked, placing a hand on her stomach.

"Yeah I'm fine, it just felt a bit weird with the spinning. Are you okay? It looked pretty rough out there"

The Doctor shrugged "Yeah I'm fine, a few cuts and bruises, and I think Jack died."

With that Jack sat up from where he had been laying on the floor, "I'm okay, knocked my head pretty hard on the railing and, well died. Sorry about the blood on the floor."

"I'm just glad you're okay too," Rose said, giving him a hug.

"Hey, I'm always okay-literally" he said with a chuckle, giving her a light squeeze.

"So we're here then?" Rose asked

"Yep," The Doctor said "the co-ordinates led us here, let's have a look."

Dun dun dunnnnnnnnnn cliffhanger much. Well kindof. But yeah, reviews please xoxoxo
