I'm so pleased with the feed back everyone has given me thanks so much. I just love reviews
So here is the third chapter just like you asked. Enjoy
Doctor's POV
Sitting down opposite her with a cup of tea in my hands it felt like old times.
I had no idea what she was going to say or how this was going to affect our lives.
What if she had moved on? I would be fine with that. Sure, that would be no problem. I told myself before I landed that I would see what she wanted to do and no more.
Who was I kidding?
I would do anything to have her back in my life permanently. I watched as she lifted the cup to her lips and took a sip. My memory slipped back to the fateful day on New New Earth when Cassandra used Rose's body to kiss me. I could still feel her lips on mine; Rose's lips. I always wanted to know if it was more than just Cassandra fuelling it.
Though unless by some miracle she stays with me then I wouldn't have any idea how much did Rose actually love me? I wanted to be the one to start the talking. Picking the first thing that came to my mind.
"You're looking good Rose." She ignored my comment on her figure and went straight to the point.
"Doctor, I need to know why you came back. Why have you found me again?" I could hardly think. Why had I come back to find her? Could I tell her I loved her more now than ever before? Taking a deep breath I told her the truth.
"Rose, I'm sorry, so sorry that I made you go. It was the worst decision in my entire lifetime. I had to find you, tell you I need you, and tell you I set you apart from anyone in this entire stinking universe. Nothing can compare to you Rose Tyler. Since you left I've been a shell, a lost soul living inside the TARDIS because you took me away when you left. Everything I was left with you. Rose, oh Rose, just your name is perfect. Everything about you is perfect. Tell me you secrets and ask me your questions. I want to know every little detail about you, god that sounds creepy, but it's true. Let's go back to the start, where it all began. From the moment I held your hand and told you to 'run' I knew there was something special about you and if I had my way I would find you again. I tried to ignore you but I kept running in circles back to you. I don't think science could prove what I felt about you. I didn't say that life with me would be easy and it was stupid that I made you leave. I knew nothing would be easy once we started again."
"Nobody said it would be this hard."
"I know and I'm sorry. I truly am Rose. For everything I did. But know this Rose Tyler, I love you with both my hearts and nothing will ever change that. Rose I love you more that I did when I forced you to leave. But the reason I came back was to ask you to come travelling with me again. What do you say? Can we go back to the way things were? "
"Nothing will be the same now." She spoke into her drink in a small voice that I had to lean forward to hear her. I watched as she raised her gaze from her cup to my eyes. She had a look of surprise and wonder. She knew the truth now.
"I didn't know you felt that way Doctor. You never said anything ever. Why not? We could've been together all this time. None of this issue would've started. Why didn't you tell me?"
I looked at Rose who was still confused over my feelings. "I never told you because I was afraid."
"Doctor you aren't afraid of anything. I never seen you flinch at the number of aliens you've defeated."
I shook my head. "I was afraid of losing you Rose. Each time you got caught up in a problem a part of me died; part of me wanted to rip up the universe to save you; part of me froze because I was scared I wouldn't be able to save you. I don't want to lose you again Rose and the only time I really lost you was because of me. I won't let that happen again. I love you Rose Tyler."
"Doctor I want to stay with you for eternity." I looked at her shocked. Was she really saying this or was it my mind making up want I wanted to hear? She continued when I didn't speak. "I want to spend eternity with you Doctor. My entire feeble human lifetime no matter what happens. "
I shook my head again. "But what good is eternity, when you outlive everyone you love?" I asked her.
She gave me a weak smile. "You are the one I love with all my heart and besides I can't live for eternity. Humans have limited life spans."
I caught her gaze and held it strong. "What if I told you I knew a way to make you live forever; as a Timelord."
Rose gasped; just the reaction I was looking for. "You can really do that? All my time with you I've dreamt of becoming a Timelord, or Timelady as I've joked to myself, and you're now saying my dream can come true."
I nodded. "I am Rose."
Rose's POV
I looked at the Doctor stunned. A way to make me a Timelord! My stupid single human heart skipped a beat. Was he being serious? I wait for the joke to start but he said nothing. I opened and closed my mouth. I felt like a fish. What could I say? I wanted to scream and shout at him for leaving me but then again the truth in his eyes told me that he had found a way. My amazing brilliant Doctor had found a way to change a fragile human into a Timelord.
"How… What…Why…?" I stammered finding my lost voice.
He grinned at me. "It's simple really; I don't know why I didn't think of it before. I just take a sample of my blood, fuse it with nano-genes and inject it into your blood stream. Because my blood will be superior to yours the nano-genes will recognize the superior form and change your blood and organs and fuse them into Timelord. I have to say Rose, it's going to hurt; probably more pain then you've ever felt in your life. Growing another heart won't be easy." The Doctor saw me wince. "Whats wrong?"
I shook her head. "Nothing." Silently praying he wouldn't push it.
"Rose…" Bugger.
Taking a deep breath I explained. "Fine, it's the needles. I don't like injections. You should've seen me when mum took me to the doctor's to get my shots. It was a nightmare." The doctor was laughing. "What?" I wasn't shocked at his reaction. It was stupid I knew that but I couldn't help it.
"You're afraid of needles! An army of Daleks or some other alien and you don't flinch but needles?! You are strange indeed Rose Tyler."
"Oh shut up you. Anyway will it work? How long will it take?" I changed the subject quickly.
The Doctor sobered up. "I'm 99.9% sure it will work. And it will probably take a couple of weeks for the process to be complete. But after that you will be a complete Timelady."
"For real?!"
"For real Rose. If that's what you want." The Doctor asked warily.
My eyes widened at his question. "Are you insane!? Of course I want this! When can we start?"
The Doctor smiled again. "If you want, I could start tomorrow. I need to set up the equipment beforehand and organise the nano-genes. You want to stay here tonight?"
I nodded and stood up. The Doctor stood up as well. "Sure but first I will need to talk to mum. She might freak if I just disappear again like last time. She'll think I've thrown myself into the Themes or something." The Doctor winced. I watched the pain and guilt creep up into his eyes. He was blaming himself. Well as much as I wanted to say it wasn't his fault, it was. He was trying to make things better and being mean wouldn't help anyone.
"I bet Jackie's going to slap me again. Since I ruined your life and everything." He gave a half laugh.
I smiled back. "Probably but I'll try and defend you."
The Doctor shook his head. "No need, I deserve it. Mind you; I hope I don't run into Mickey any time soon. He'll probably kill me."
I laughed. "Well, better get it over with then." I moved to leave.
"Rose, wait a second." I turned. The Doctor was coming around the table.
"What?"
The Doctor placed a hand on my arm. "Just this." He leant down and I stayed stock still. I was shocked. I gasped when his lips caught my own. His lips were soft and kind and I couldn't help but respond. My arms snaked around his neck and my hands buried themselves in his big hair as his moved around my waist. Too soon in my opinion the Doctor broke away. He laughs at my pout.
"Come on. We have to face your mother." He grabs and leads me out of the TARDIS. I say nothing. My mind is still on the kiss.
So... what did you think? Just want to know your opinion about the blood and nano genes type thing. Don't know how that idea came to me but there you have it. If you have any other ideas please let me know. I've got another idea but you will have to wait to find out what that is. It comes in in later chapters.
