Chapter 3

Rose sat on the sofa, trying to sort her head out. Her mind was going a mile a minute. All the times she'd wished for him to come back, and now he was here. The Doctor. She'd left as soon as Jessica had said that the Torchwood story made Rose cry. Rose didn't even know Jessica remebered her reaction to that story, she'd told it over a year ago. Rose felt someone sit next to her, and looked to find the Doctor sitting there.

'Which one did you tell her?' Rose asked.

'The one with the Daleks and the Game Station.' answered the Docto.

'That's her favourite.' repleid Rose.

There was a long silence, which Rose eventually broke. 'So what you been doing?'

'Traveling.' answered the Doctor.

'Sounds about right.' said Rose.

'What about you?' he asked.

'Well I was pregnant to begin with.' said Rose 'And then shortly before Jessica turned 1, Torchwood made the device to send us through.Mum and Dad came bak too. Mickey didn't.'

'How come you wanted to come back?' asked the Doctor.

'It just didn't feel like home. It was just the little things. You know like dad being alive and being rich. I missed my old life. All my friends and stuff. So I came back. Since then I've been caring for Jessica and working.' replied Rose.

'Where do you work?' he asked.

'The nursery, where Jessica goes. I wanted to work with children, after she was born.' answered Rose.

'Right.' said the Doctor.

There was a long silence. Rose shifted, wondering what to say. She mentally cursed herself. Around 6 years of wanting him back, and she couldn't think of anything to say.

'Jessica certainly lively.' said the Doctor, chuckling.

'Yeah, she can be quite a handful for me sometimes.' said Rose, chuckling.

'Is there no one around to help?' he asked.

'There's only the people I know from the nursery, and they've all got kids of their own.' answered Rose.

'And the father?' he asked.

Rose gulped nervously. She wanted to tell him, but could she? In the end something made her chicken out.

'He doesn't know about her.' she answered.

'Why?' the Doctor asked, finally looking at her.

'He's not been around.' she answered.

'Jerk.' muttered the Doctor.

Rose couldn't help but grin. She wondered what he would think, if he knew he was calling himself a jerk. Rose was about to ask, if he wanted to stay when a scream emitted from Jessica's bedroom.

The Doctor watched Rose rush to Jessica's bedroom. The Doctor followed quickly, and stopped in the doorway. He watched Rose cuddling her daughter singing. The Doctor felt his heart break as he heard the song, Rose was singing.

Don't worry my darling.

I'll look after you.

I'll be there to help you,

Through anything that goes wrong.

You are my world.

My life.

You are everything to me.

This was the song, he'd made up for Rose. He used to sing it to her when she was upset or scared. Now she was singing it t her daughter. The Doctor watched the scene, tears filling his eyes. This was the thing he couldn't have. A family. His life was to dangerous, for a famly. Loosing Rose before, proved that. He knew, dispite not wanting to, that they'd have to say goodbye again.

'Doctor?' said a voice, snapping him out of his thoughts.

The Doctor looked at Rose. She'd grown since they'd last met. She didn't look that much older, and her hair was still the same length. It could have easily been a year that they'd been separated not 6. He smiled at her, and they walked back into the living room. The flat was another thing that was the same. Their had been a few changes. The main one being that the spare room, was now Jessica's room.

'You O.K?' Rose asked, sitting down.

'Yeah. It's just a surprise to see you again.' answered the Doctor, sitting next to her.

'I never gave up hoping you'd turn up.' whispered Rose.

The Doctor hardly heard heard her. But he could hear the sadness in her face. He reached out and cupped her cheek, turning her head to face him. He looked into her eyes, and she into his.

'I missed you.' he said.

'I missed you too.' said Rose.

The Doctor brushed her cheek with his thumb. Rose lent her head in his head. He fought the urge to kiss her. Saying goodbye again was going to be hard enough. Unfortunately Rose didn't seem to realise this. Before the Doctor could even thing of anything else, Rose's lip were on his. He closed his eyes, acting on his feelings, then he realised what he was doing and pushed Rose away.

'Rose we can't do this.' he said, not bothering to mask his pain.

'But I love you.'said Rose, tears running down her cheek.

'And I love you too.' said the Doctor, holding her hand. 'But you've got a daughter now. And it's too dangerous.'

'Your going to go again. Aren't you?' she asked, closing her eyes.

'I have to.' he replied, wishing it wasn't true.

'Then GO!' shouted Rose, her eyes opening and filled with anger.

'Rose...' he began.

'No, just go.' said Rose, getting to her feet. 'I was stupid to ever think you'd come back for me.'

Before the Doctor could even say a word, Rose had stormed to her room. The Doctor walked over to her door. His hand hovered over the doorknob for a few minutes, before dropping to his side. He sighed, wishing there was another way. He turned and walked out of the flat, and back to the TARDIS.

Rose heard the door close, and quickly got to her feet. She rushed out of her room and looked round the flat. The Doctor had gone. Rose rushed out of the flat and onto the balcony, just in time to see the TARDIS door closed.

'DOCTOR!' she shouted, desperately.

She watched heart-broken as the TARDIS, began to dematerialise. Tears streamed down her face, as she once again saw her love go.

'She's your daughter too.' she whispered, too late for him to hear.

Rose didn't notice the man standing in the shadows, or see his smirk. Niether did she hear his evil chuckle as she closed the door to her flat.

Who is the man in the shadows? Well you can probably guess, but first one to, gets the next chapter dedicated to them.
