Chapter 4 - I see loads of people have been wondering what Jackie's reaction was, so here it is.
"It's yours? What?!" Her head blew up to at least twice its original size.
The Doctor, who'd thought he'd saved the day, regretted saying anything. He could have said 'hi' and she'd have blown over the top.
"And you..." she turned back to Rose, "You let him. Didn't you even think to use a condom?"
"Well..." the Doctor began, then saw her head again and added, "Ma'am. It wouldn't have made a difference; Time-Lords have strong swimmers."
"Not helping!" Rose spoke to him from behind her coffee.
"I am extremely hyperactive. I'm doing the best I can!" To add to the effect of this sentence, his eye twitched randomly.
"Shut up whispering! I..." She stopped her ranting suddenly, and then smiled as the Doctor pulled the sonic screwdriver from beside her head.
"What did you do?" Rose muttered.
The Doctor produced the device, so that Rose could see it wasn't actually a sonic screwdriver. "It's a sonic mood-changer."
Rose snatched it off him and admired it, adding "I'm keeping this!"
The Doctor frowned, then attempted to get it back, but couldn't get there on time because she moved them into her handbag. This playful snatch turned quickly into a tickling fight that involved a feather?
Before this could continue, Rose caught sight of Janet heading back over with coffees and biscuits, so they legged it.
Halfway out, Rose giggled, then gasped as a searing pain shot through her belly.
"What is it?" The Doctor was immediately protective, and picked up his wife.
"The baby? What's happening?" Rose clutched the bump and cried. "Don't let this baby die, Doctor!"
As if on cue, he got a proper hold on her and ran along the street to the Tardis. He found it difficult to open the door with Rose in his arms, but he never set her down once.
"Doctor!" Rose screamed, "Quickly!"
They hared around to get to the sick bay, and when they arrived, Rose was in hysterics.
"If this baby dies, I'm blaming you!" The Doctor knew her mood-swings were still in check when she then kissed him and said, "I love you."
He lay her down on one of the beds and walked to a stool that held sorts of instruments that may help. He spent only a few moments to decide what to do, and headed back over to Rose carrying a pen like device.
"Ok, sweetie, I need you to stay still while I take a look at the baby." He held the pen up to his eye and it let out a ray of light that made the skin covering her womb transparent.
"Is it ok? What happened?" Rose clung to the hand the Doctor gave her and waited, trying to stay patient.
"The baby is causing you to bleed inside, but that can be fixed. The only problem is there's a chance we might lose the baby." The Doctor shook his head, "But right now all the matters is keeping you alive. If I don't do this I might lose both of you."
"But, you want this baby," she started to cry, "I want this baby."
The Doctor shook his head again, and gave her some water and a sleeping pill. Take this. It's something that will calm you down while I operate."
Rose took the pill and swallowed it without the water, frantically trying to get it over with. She laid back.
"Get going!" She nodded as he checked to see if she was ok. "I'm fine!"
The Doctor bit his lip and started. He held a scissor-like object that Rose thought he'd cut her with, but as he opened the blades, she saw that a hole appeared in her skin and
Womb, revealing the tiny foetus. The Doctor put on some thick gloves and began a long procedure. He started by finding out where the problem lay. This took him ten crucial minutes, and when he checked Rose's vitals (that the Tardis automatically took once they entered the room) he found she was starting to waiver.
"Stay awake, Rose. Talk to me." He spoke reassuringly to her while still fixing her inside. "Have you got any names?"
Rose blinked a lot, but managed to stay awake and alive. "I was thinking, for a boy, Darcy. What does it mean?" She began drifting off.
"No, stay with me Rose! It means 'dark'. Any other ideas?"
"What about David or Daniel?"
"David. It means 'beloved one'... I like it. What about for a girl?" He fiddled gently with her innards, desperately trying to keep her alive.
"Kacey?"
"No! It means 'Eagle-Eyed'!" The Doctor could show distain no matter what he was doing.
"Fine. What about Kayla?"
"What is it with you? All the boys' names are 'D's' and all the girls are 'K's'!" He lifted up his head to get a look at her, but saw her nearing death.
He recognised the alarm signalling death on board, and closed up the hole by shutting the scissors. He ripped off the gloves and brushed Rose's face. The CPR he had learnt was for trollds, and he didn't know if it would work with humans, but he gave it a go.
She gasped a breath as she was revived, but was immediately clutching at her painful stomach.
"Fix it, Doctor!"
He was back down there, opening her up and doing all sorts of other things to her organs.
Rose yelled out. The pill he'd given her had worn off, and she could feel his fingers rummaging around her body. Unlike the time he'd gotten her pregnant, this time it was inside her body.
The Doctor was so busy trying to stop the bleeding inside her, that he didn't notice her fainting. The Tardis did.
Rose woke up. She was inside a white room that made it feel like she was standing in air. There was nobody else there.
"Hello," a voice said out of nowhere.
"Who's that?" Rose yelled out, but found her voice was not heard.
"If you wish to communicate, simply think what you want to say, Rose Tyler." The voice was now in her head, ready for her thoughts.
'Ok. Who are you, and how do you know my name?" Rose was getting freaked out by this weird way of 'talking', and she stood rather awkwardly in the middle of wherever she was.
"I am the Tardis. I have been watching you live and breathe. You are the Doctor's one true mate." The voice was now right next to Rose, and when she looked, she saw a cloaked figure.
It had a white light face with no obvious features, but took the obvious form of a humanoid.
"Follow me." She pointed to a small black dot that appeared on the horizon of the room.
Rose opened her mouth. Was she dead?
Oooh! Exciting! I'm just as intreigued as you are... okay, maybe not, but if you don't review there may be death in the future.
