Rose's POV
It's strange. I feel like I'm in limbo. I can feel my body; my legs and all but I can't move anything. Also my senses are fine except for my vision. Eyes are closed I think else the Doctor has put me into a very dark room. Have no idea how long I've been lying here. Sometimes it feels like I'm falling through space as if my body has no weight to it at all. I'm a leaf being tossed around by the breeze yet I remain frozen to this immobile body of mine and it's frustrating.
"Rose. Rose can you hear me? Please Rose wake up. It's been three days I need you to wake up so I can check you are alright. Please Rose, I love you." I knew that voice. That was a voice as familiar to me as my mother's; the Doctor, my Doctor. He wanted me to wake up so that's what I would do.
I tried with everything that I could muster to move my fingers or toes or anything. Nothing moved. Again I tried this time focusing my attention on my fingers only.
"Rose? Can you hear me? If you can, please twitch your fingers again." I had moved my fingers. I couldn't contain my joy. I willed myself to move my fingers again. I felt the Doctor grip my hand. I tried to smile but felt nothing move. I would have to settle with my fingers. I felt lips brush against my hand and then ghost over my lips. How I wanted to kiss him back but nothing would move.
"Its good know you are still with me Rose. I'm here when ever you need me. Get some rest now. I love you Rose." I love you too Doctor. I felt myself slipping away. I let myself slip knowing that when I woke up again the Doctor would be there waiting for me.
My eyes blink open and I find myself staring at the familiar white washed ceiling. Groaning I heave myself up to sitting and look around. I was in the lab on the same bed I always used when I was in here. The Doctor's notes are littered around the wall all written in Gallifreyan.
"Rose Tyler. 2 days since the emergency 'regeneration procedure'. Vitals stable. Double heart beat becoming more dominant."
I freeze. I'm reading Gallifreyan? No way! That's awesome.
Looking at the screen next to the bed I see an image of my body showing all the vitals. The double hearts beat just out of sync with each other. Slowly I place a hand to my left side of my chest; one heart. Carefully without moving to fast I shift the hand to the right, I was scared I was just imaging it. It's there; loud and clear. My second heart beating just as much as my old one. Two hearts, I'm a Timelord. Hold on, is that someone humming? It stopped, the humming stopped. I heard my name on the whisper of a wind.
"Doctor?" I replied unsure of what was going on. I heard something clatter to the ground and then footstep running, getting closer and closer. A man filled the doorway; a man who was familiar in every respect from the big hair and brown suit right down to the white converse chuck that covered his feet.
"Rose?" His voice was barely a whisper.
"Doctor, it's me. I'm here." I didn't want to leave the bed because I didn't know how strong I was. He took a step forward.
"Rose?" He asked again. The Doctor was still unsure as to what was going on. I sighed frustrated at his carefulness. I swung my legs over the side of the bed and heaved myself onto my feet. I was so unsteady it was scary. I gripped the edge of the bed for stability.
"Doctor if you don't come over here right now I'm going to collapse. Please help me." I lurched forward when the room spun. The Doctor crossed the room and caught me before I hit the ground.
"Whoa I got you, I got you." I looked up at the Doctor. He smiled. "Hello there."
"Hi." It was all I seemed to be able to say. The Doctor placed me on the bed.
"You know you shouldn't be getting up until you've had more rest."
I smiled up at the Doctor. "You know I don't like to be told what to do."
He chuckled. "I know."
"Am I allowed to ask you questions? I won't strain myself I promise."
"Sure Rose what do you want to ask?" I watched as the Doctor sat down on the edge of my bed. I sat up and leaned against the headrest.
"Well when I woke up I found myself able to read Gallifrey and I swear I heard you humming but you were no where near enough for me to be able to hear you. What's up with that?" The Doctor shifted his position so that he could look at me straight on.
"Well Rose, you're a Timelord now and you get everything that comes with it. You will be able to read and speak Gallifreyan fluently and you now have a telepathic mind." Hello Rose. I froze. The Doctor's mouth was closed but I heard his voice.
"How did you do that?" I whispered.
You can do it too Rose. Just think about me when you talk. Don't say it allowed but inside your mind like when you think to yourself. I hesitated. This was so weird.
I took a deep breath. Doctor?
Hello Rose.
Wow. That's strange. Have you always been able to do this? The Doctor was smiling at me. I had missed him.
Of course Rose. Now listen, it's important that you master this quickly because it could save both yours and my life in the future. I can go into your mind and you can go into mine with just a single thought. Now I'm going to go inside yours. If there something you don't want me to see, just imagine a door and I'll leave it. I closed my eyes to concentrate. I gasped. Memories flashed behind my eyes and there was the Doctor, walking among them as though he were there when they happened. Oh that was something I didn't want the Doctor to see. A door, think of a door.
Oh you could have put up a door there Rose. I winced. The Doctor really didn't need to see that. Taking a deep breath I created more doors in my mind, blocking the Doctor out from every memory.
"Well done Rose." I opened my eyes to find the Doctor smiling at me. I smiled back like a proud daughter who had pleased her father. "That was really well done. You have a good hold on your mind which will come in handy. There is a little way to go yet but it's a great start."
I didn't know what to say. He seemed really happy with me and I didn't want to ruin it by saying anything. After a few moments of silence I wanted to do more. "What now?" I asked.
"Try getting yourself inside my head. I'll let your walk among my memories as I walked in yours." I nodded and closed my eyes. I imagined a small version of me jumping across the space between the Doctor in me and landing inside his head.
"Oh" I did it. I did it Doctor, look I'm in your head! I felt his pride radiating around me.
Feel free to explore Rose. I smiled and moved around his memories. I have no idea how long we stayed like that but it was amazing. I watched myself being dragged by the old Doctor underneath my old work the first time I met him. Then the memories slipped and I found myself watching me leave the TARDIS after the Doctor banished me. I watched him mope around the TARDIS like he was a ghost haunting his own home. I felt his pain and loss every time he thought of me or found something of mine. I opened my eyes returning to my own body. My cheeks were wet. I place my hand to my cheek and found that I had been crying.
"Oh, Doctor I never knew." I whispered as he opened his eyes. They were shinning with unshed tears.
"That's how it was for me Rose when you left. I felt like I was dying and no amount of regeneration would be able to cure that. You took a part of me when you left and I thought I'd never get it back. I thought it would be like when the others left. But I realised that no else has ever made me feel this way. You are the only one Rose." I moved my hand to the Doctor's cheek.
"Well I'm not going anywhere. I'll never leave you Doctor if you promise me the same."
The Doctor smiled as he covered my hand with his. "I promise."
I grinned. "Right now that's settled how about some food. I'm starving." The Doctor grabbed my hand and towed me towards the kitchen.
What did you think? Like? Dislike? I want to know. thanks.
