A/N: Sorry for the wait. I wanted to post this last night but my daughter has been ill.
Wasn't DW great last night? I wasn't sure about Martha but really enjoyed last night's episode, what my daughter let me watch. Which thankfully was most of it.

Well here the reunion continues...

As Rose left the room, she noticed someone familiar. "JACK" was all that was heard by the occupants of the room as the door closed behind her.

Jack spun the blond haired Londoner as she clung to him. He put her down and placed a chaste kiss on her lips, to Gwen's annoyance.

"The Doctor said to take you to the kitchen." She said as she led them down to the kitchen. It wasn't the kitchen that she had worked in when she was here before she got stranded. This was a small one they used when the cook wasn't here or when they wanted to cook for themselves. "I'm glad to see ya Jack." She said as they took their seats as Rose made them drinks. "But I thought you were dead."

"I was Rose, but that's another story. One I need to talk to The Doctor about."

"Ok. So who are your friends?"

"Gwen and Martha. Gwen is my...Girlfriend, and Martha travels with The Doctor"

"Oh." Rose replied to the admission of Jack that The Doctor wasn't alone anymore.

"I've been travelling with him a while now. It was only supposed to be a single trip, but you probably know how it goes." Martha told Rose.

"I have an idea." Rose whispered.

"It's been difficult." Martha continued. "Everything we do, wherever we are, everything comes down to you." She looked at Rose, who slowly lifted her gaze from her cup to Martha.

"I'm glad he's back, but it probably means i'll never see mum or dad again. And then there's Little Jack. He's only 3."

"Little Jack?" Jack asked.

Rose smiled at him. "My little brother. I have been stranded here nearly 4 years."

"I'm sorry Rose" The Doctor said from the doorway. "It's not quite the five and a half hours."

"Don't be sorry. You're here now and that's what matters." She walked over to him and let him embrace her. "I had 3 years with a dad and a little brother, but i'm ready to give it up for you. I'd give everything up for you"

"I know Rose." He bent down to kiss her, letting all his love for her show in the kiss. This time there was nobody to interrupt them as Jack, Gwen and Martha left the room.

They entered the room The Doctor had been in earlier and sat down. Pete and Jackie watching them as they did so. Jack was just about to ask Jackie if they could put them up for the night, when Mickey came in.

"Hey Jacks, Rose about?"

"She's a bit busy" Jack said from the sofa.

"Oh it's you." Mickey acknowledged him.

"What's that all about?" Gwen asked Jack.

"Well i've only met Rickey here..."

"It's Mickey" Mickey put in across him.

"As I was saying. I've only met him once. He came to the TARDIS to bring Rose her passport. We were parked outside the water tower and caused the invisible lift that we often use to appear. Gwen do you remember a few years ago, when the mayor wanted to build a power station where Cardiff Castle is."

"Yeh, I help with the investigation into the people involved were being mysteriously dying."

"Well, they were all murdered by the mayor. She was an alien that wanted to blowup Earth, to get a lift back home." He looked back at Mickey. "It's nice seeing you again Mickey." He said to Mickey offering his hand.

Mickey took Jack's hand and shook it firmly. "I take it Rose is with Him."

"They're... Urm... Catching up." He said with a knowing smile.

Rose and The Doctor had finally finished their game of tonsil hockey and now sat next to each other at the table, holding hands.

"Rose, Pete told me about your second meeting with the Gelth." He started.

"Oh, so you know about the side effects from the Gamestation?"

"Do you remember what happened there?"

"I did as soon as the breach closed after you said goodbye. I believe that the TARDIS was protecting me, and when my contact with her was permanently broken her protection from that day was gone. I knew that Jack was still alive, but couldn't tell you to go find him. How long has he been with you?"

"Not long. The TARDIS picked him and Gwen up after an incident with the rift." He replied smiling at the memory of their reunion and using Jack's words back at them. "Jack and Gwen were rather busy at that moment and didn't realise they had been brought aboard."

"Like when Jack brought us aboard his Chula Warship, when I was trying to get you to dance with me?"

"Exactly. I even told him they were sweet, like he did to us. The moment was priceless."

Looking nervously at The Doctor she asked a question that had been going through her mind since he had arrived. "Have you come to take me home or to say goodbye properly..."

"Why would you think that?"

"Well you have Martha now. You might not want or need me anymore."

He paused for a moment. He couldn't believe that Rose thought he would come all this way to just say goodbye. He pulled Rose onto his lap, "I've come to take you home. I've missed you and the TARDIS hasn't been the same since. Martha is just a friend that helped me through the loneliness. But she isn't you." To seal this statement he kissed her again.

This time they were interrupted again.

"Can't you put her down?" Jackie mumbled as she entered the kitchen.

The Doctor and Rose stopped their kiss and looked at Jackie, contented smiles on their faces.

"Well at least there is a smile on your face Rose. I've waited a long time to see that. And then your gonna leave." A single tear rolled down Jackie's cheek. "When are you leaving?"

Rose looked at The Doctor, "Tomorrow" He said. "Rose there is an invasion tomorrow. The TARDIS says that you are on the list of the dead, and seeing as you can't die, we will need to leave just after to let history complete it's cycle."

"So i'm supposed to leave tomorrow? Is that why you came today, instead of 4 years ago?" She asked him as she got off his knee and made to leave the room.

"No. I came today because this is the day we landed and it is consequential that you are supposed to not exist on this world as of tomorrow." He could feel the hurt coming out in his voice, He wanted Rose to believe him.

Rose left the room with The Doctor and Jackie following her.

The occupants of the living room turned toward the door as it opened.

"So Doctor, how did you get here?" Mickey asked The Doctor as he sat down with Rose.

"We... Urm... Stole a TARDIS." The people in the room laughed.

"You stole a TARDIS? Who from?" Rose asked as the laughter calmed down.

"Well. It is still my TARDIS, just my Eighth incarnations TARDIS. Jack told me that all I needed was a TARDIS from before the war. Because before the war, dimension travel was easy."

"But how did you get her to trust you?"

"Well I showed her what happened to you." He turned his head from the group and looked Rose straight in the eyes. "When you scattered the words 'Bad Wolf' through time and space, doing so you bonded with the TARDIS all the way back to her creation. So she knew who you were. She found you and brought us to this date. It is really her fault that I am 4 years too late." He buried his head in her neck as she pulled him into a hug.

"Mrs Tyler?" Jack asked Jackie politely, taking the emphasis away from The Doctor and Rose "Can you put us up tonight? The TARDIS is all the the way back in the centre of London."

"Sure, and it's Jackie. You staying too Mick?"

"Yeh." He replied still looking at the love of his life in the arms of another. It didn't matter that he had a life of his own now. Rose was still important to him.

"So Rose," Jackie asked, "How do you know this Captain?"

"Well." She said knowing that Gwen would be listening intently, she didn't miss the look on Gwen's face when Jack had kissed her. "Me and The Doctor, before he regenerated, met Jack in 1941. He tried to con us and nearly turned humans into gas mask zombies but we managed to fix it and he came with us. That's when Mickey met him." She looked at Jack and knew he would appreciate the next bit "He became my brother in everyway other than blood."

There was a look of relief on Gwen's face when she realised that the love she saw between Jack and Rose during their reunion was the love of siblings. Rose smiled at her acceptance. Gwen was now a part of the TARDIS family as long as she wanted to. Their was also a place for Martha.

Looking around at her two families. She knew that tomorrow she would have to say goodbye to one of them. Putting that to the back of her mind, she indulged herself in the idle chitchat that was going on in the room. She was going to enjoy tonight.
