A/N: Here's the happy ending! Woo! Everyone smiiiiile!


If she let go of the Doctor now she'd spend the rest of her life in emotional turmoil and pain for the loss of the man she loved – yet if she let go of the lever, she and the Doctor would spent an eternity together with no means of escape…in Hell.

Tears staining her cheeks, she looked up at Jackie, Mickey, Pete and Jake in turn, her body in agony but her face pumped full of misery.

"I'm sorry," she mouthed.

Mickey's eyes widened, and he rapidly shook his head at her. He reached to his neck and thoughtfully stroked the giant yellow disc still hung around his neck.

Before he even knew what he was doing he was taking it off from around his neck, fighting the pull of the void and he got as near to the ground as possible. With a hard, firm motion, he slid it across the floor to Rose.

She caught it in her teeth of all things, using the very last remnants of energy still tucked away inside to pull the Doctor up towards her, linking her legs in his to keep him stationary beneath her. She quickly put the yellow disc around their necks as she pressed a soft kiss to his lips, letting go of the lever altogether.

They both flew backwards together towards the void, the Daleks and Cybermen coming now only one at a time. She reached up to the disc still hung around their necks, whacking the button with the flat of her palm.

She managed to look up for the last time at the company that was clustered in the Lever Room. She couldn't even utter a word as the teleport took hold, and suddenly the group were staring at nothing.

They'd teleported, but they hadn't stopped moving. They were both still flying through the air, Rose's lips pressed to his as they both hit the wall with immense force, instantly knocking Rose out as they both reeled back and hit the floor, Rose's limp body half on and half off the Doctor's.

There was silence in the room.

And then Jackie Tyler stepped forward, lifting the disc from around her neck and dropping it loosely onto the floor, stepping warily forwards towards the pair and falling to her knees by their heads.

The Doctor was still bleeding, the crimson coloured substance pooling out around his head from his wound.

Jackie Tyler gulped, truly having no idea how to handle a medical emergency like this. She got onto his feet once more, jogging back towards Yvonne's office, searching for any kind of way out.

The phone was there, but she couldn't call the ambulance. If they found out what the Doctor truly was they'd absolutely freak out. She'd turned him in once before and she would not make that mistake again – especially seeing how much her daughter loved him. She may have not agreed with it but whatever made Rose happy made her happy.

There was a list of numbers by the phone, so she wagered her bets on another Torchwood base, 'Torchwood Cardiff'. They could help…she hoped.

"Hello? Captain Jack Harkness, Torchwood Cardiff speakin'."

Toshiko watched him from the other side of the desk, on of which was cluttered a ton of paper and used mugs of coffee, the mark of a Torchwood boss.

"Where's Yvonne?"

Tosh decided to take a seat, sensing this was going to take a while to complete. But the next words Jack spoke over the phone made her sit up, alarmed.

"Yvonne's dead?! Who are you?"

Pause, as Tosh waited with baited breath.

"Jackie Tyler? Is that as in…Rose Tyler?"

Tosh could easily see the amount of panic Jack was experiencing, perhaps even more than he first heard the Cybermen and Daleks trundling around above their heads on the over ground.

"Rose is there? Put her on!"

It was interesting to hear one side of the conversation and guess the other Tosh found, but at the amount of terror Jack seemed to be experiencing she couldn't possibly imagine the other side of it.

"Is the Doctor there?!"

Tosh watched as Jack suddenly leapt to his feet, white with worry.

"Is he conscious?"

Her eyes nearly bulged out their sockets. Someone was hurt.

"Stem the blood flow and keep 'em both warm," he was saying, "don't let anyone in that room, I'm comin'." He hung up, and quickly dived for his coat hanging from the stand.

"Where're you going?" Tosh asked, rising to her feet as Jack sped out the door.

"London!" he called back.

At the sight of his two helpless best friends strewn out useless on the Torchwood Lever Room floor Jack became understandably unnerved, especially at the apparent facelift of one of them.

He jogged over to them both, only just about registering Jackie Tyler's presence in his vision, holding a large spotted handkerchief stained red to the back of the Doctor's head. It was actually the first time he'd ever seen Rose's mother but this was no time for a polite introductory chat.

"Are they gonna be okay?" Jackie was asking anxiously, completely ignorant to the puzzlement of how a man whom had been in Cardiff two minutes ago had suddenly burst through the door in Torchwood: London.

"The Doc's tough," Jack replied reassuringly, bending down next to Rose's unconscious body and checking her over. "Rose seems to have just got a little stunned, she's okay, infact…here she comes."

Jack and Jackie both watched carefully as Rose's eyes flickered beneath their lids, a small groan issuing from her lips.

Jack waited for the moment.

"Ja…Jack?!" she stuttered, genuinely shocked. "What?!" She tried to sit up but her full consciousness had not yet returned, she already felt herself falling before she flung her arms out around Jack's neck to steady herself. She pulled him into a tight hug, glad to see him once more after so long.

Suddenly she drew back, alarmed.

"The Doctor!" she gasped, looking next to her at the man in question unconscious on the floor. She drew up; kneeling over him and putting her arm over his chest protectively as her other hand pushed back his hair from his forehead. She didn't care anymore; she loved him to death, end of. She kissed his cheek, feeling her mum and Jack staring down at her from above but neither stepping forward to make an argument against her.

She let a single tear fall down her cheek, not even looking up at Jack as she spoke:

"He'll be okay, won't he Jack?"

Jack nodded, trying not to think of the millions of complications that could come with the immense hit to the head.

"We have to get out of here," Jack suddenly started up, dropping down next to her and resting a hand on her shoulder. "It'll be swarming with the authorities in ten minutes. D'you know where the TARDIS is?"

She nodded, pulling herself up as Jack slipped his arms underneath the Doctor, lifting his limp body to carry him.

"Lead the way Rose," Jack nodded with his head towards the Lever Room door.

He could hear voices talking and laughing from a distance, though whether they were in his head or voices from the real world he didn't know. All he knew was that his head hurt badly and he could hardly remember a thing of what caused it. He forced his heavy eyes open, immediately coming face to face with an immaculate white ceiling directly above him.

"Oh, look who finally decided to join in," said Rose's voice from beside him, and the Doctor forced his head to turn to look at her, wincing and raising a hand to the back of a bandaged head as he leant back on the pillows, confusion apparent.

"Welcome back," said a deep American voice from his left, one which pleasantly startled him. He turned to see the handsome features of Captain Jack Harkness staring back at him, grinning widely.

The confused expression got even more prominent. "What ha-" he started quickly, but then stopped himself as pain shot through his head, taking it a little more slowly. "…What happened?"

"What d'you remember sweetheart?" Jackie questioned, hands cupping his right one consolingly. He strained his memory to the maximum, closing his eyes as he visioned what had happened.

"The Lever Room…in Torchwood…" he muttered, still holding his head with his free hand. "The lever…started lowering…so I pushed it back up. But the pull from the void got too strong, I couldn't hold on…" He opened his eyes briefly to look at Rose, alarmed to find she was crying. He instantly shut his mouth, but she noticed this and gestured for him to carry on.

He took a breath. "I saw you screaming Rose, then it was just blackness. I knew I was in Hell and all I could hear was your voice ringing in my mind."

"Then?" Jack prompted.

"Then there was this speck of white light in the distance, and I knew I was being sucked towards it. I passed through and I remember…just being happy to be alive, back in existence. But then something was killing me, smashing in my skull and I couldn't fight the blackness and the pain…I knew I couldn't pass out but…I had no choice."

"Then Jackie and Rose brought you back to this world through the discs," Jack filled in for the benefit of the weeping Rose. "Jackie phoned me and I took the teleport from Cardiff, came and found you and we all came back to the TARDIS."

"Teleport?" Jackie suddenly asked, confused and slightly amazed. "You…you came by teleport?"

"Couldn't waste any time," Jack answered with a grin. "It's still half in development but I had to take the risk. Latest technology."

"Thanks," the Doctor said with a smile at Jack, before they both met in a rather distinguished manly hug.

"It was my pleasure Doctor," Jack replied with a smiled, drawing back before gesturing at Rose. The Doctor looked at her, touching her gently on the arm as she cried into her mother. She looked up, eyes red and puffy.

"Hey," he said gently, tilting his head slightly as she tried desperately to wipe her tears back. She needed no invitation to fall onto him, burying her head in his shoulder and wrapping her arms around him. He returned the action, closing his eyes as she climbed onto the bed next to him.

"For God's sake, kiss 'er already," came Jackie's voice from the side, and the Doctor grinned to himself, manoeuvring his head and giving her a peck on the cheek.

"Properly!" Jack said, and Rose drew back a little, her and the Doctors' noses touching as they stayed in each other's embrace.

Rose ventured forward first, tongue slipping in his mouth as they properly kissed for the first time where the both of them were conscious and not being possessed by strange trampoline women from the future.

The Doctor was enjoying it, but knew he shouldn't be. He shouldn't even be doing it. But he heard Jack and Jackie cheer them on and it just increased his sex drive even further. Why was Jackie so eager? Why was he doing this?

The Doctor finally drew away, breathing deeply as she stared at him in complete amazement, smiling.

"Do that again?" she asked instantly.

To his complete and total astonishment, the Doctor found himself grinning at what had just happened. He heard alarm bells ringing inside his mind as he reached up once more to her face, caressing her cheek gently to brush away her hair from her tear tracks.

He looked down at himself, suddenly realising he infact, seemed to be shirtless.

"I see you took the liberty of undressing me," he said to Rose, eyes sparkling. His grin slowly turned to a frown at her reply of a shake of the head, and the glance over at Jack. The Doctor's eyes followed the path to meet Jack's, who gave a small smile and a wave.

The Doctor closed his eyes and groaned loudly to himself, seeking the remedy of another kiss from Rose.

"Is this it then?" Rose asked as they parted, ignorant to Jack and Jackie still sat next to them. "Is this a first step?"

"Are you ready?" the Doctor questioned her question.

After a moment's pause, she nodded. "Ready as I'll ever be."

"We can't go back if we do this Rose," he reminded her gently. "You have to be sure."

She paused to consider his words for only a moment, before nodding once more, this time with more confidence. "I'm ready."

"Then Rose Tyler, I love you."

"I love you too, Doctor."

They reached out to each other once more with lips parted, ready to kiss for what must have been the hundredth time in the space of one minute, before Jackie's voice suddenly interrupted the moment.

"Alright, don't overdo it! Everyone, out! My patient needs rest!"

They stopped midway; laughing out loud as Rose withdrew back onto her feet. Jackie shooed her and Jack out as the Doctor slid down once more, eyes closing to his own personally made mind-state of ecstasy.

"Thank you Jackie," he whispered as he felt her presence beside him.

"There are rules to 'avin' my daughter y'know," she suddenly started from a distance. "One, no sex without protec…"

But he was already asleep.

Two days later and the Doctor was bouncing around the console once more with a huge, award-worthy grin in place. He was in his element, flicking switches and pulling levers. Rose watched him, laughing as he joked and rambled on and on about seemingly nothing at all to do with anything in the least bit important.

They'd said a fond farewell to Jackie but ten minutes ago, taking off into the stars with a willing Jack resuming his original companion status onboard the TARDIS. The Doctor and Rose were both willing to have him with them on their adventures. Jack had explained, with the Doctor slight inputs of explanations of his journey from Satellite Five to the year 2006, but purposely neglected to mention his Cardiff Torchwood base.

The far door of the console room opened to reveal the very man in question, strutting straight up to Rose and giving her a quick, yet enthralling kiss on the lips.

"I kissed your girl Doc, watcha gonna do?" he provoked the Doctor, sporting a grin, who just threw him back another.

"Take all your hair gel."

The Jack immediate jumped away from Rose as if she were on fire, hands in the air in surrender. "Fine! She's yours!"

Rose laughed again, getting onto her feet and jogging over to the Doctor, slipping her arms around his waist and kissing the back of his neck. "Where to then sir?"

"How 'bout…" He paused to consider. "…Shakespeare? Y'know, I'd love to see Shakespeare…"

And they were off, three friends flying into the infinite plains of the Cosmos to explore eternity together.

The Doctor, Rose Tyler and Captain Jack Harkness: the unbreakable trinity.

The End!

A/N: You will probably notice in the coming weeks if you read anything else I write that I have a tendency to do Jack, Ten, and Rose. It's my dream team! Even though there's no chance of that no, they deserve to be together! Tell you what else I was thinking of doing: Jark Harkness' Dream Adventure. I'll say no more. It's not slash, because the Doctor isn't gay! He's as straight as a ruler. No questions asked.

Anyway. Toodles :D Ty for reading, would love you to say what you thought :D

I will update Ramble ASAP, I've hit a wall with it...a rather large wall. A rather large, thick wall.
