Just a quick note: I understand that this chapter is a little slushy. But I think that's what is best about it
-Sara
The Doctor jerked his head up at the sound of this oh so familiar voice.
It was the same one he had been thinking about endlessly for the past couple of months.
The voice that kept his second heart beating.
"Rose!!"
The Doctor felt Roses arms wrap around him, tightly embracing him.
He suddenly realized his eyes were brimming with tears.
He closed his eyes and hugged her close, never wanting to let go.
In the corner of his eye, he could see Martha had raised her eyebrow almost mockingly.
He ignored it, and felt a rush of happiness spread throughout him.
He felt as if he was whole again. The emptiness that had been haunting him for so long now was finally filled.
He wasn't aware of the world around him. He had not even noticed Martha's eyebrow had reached alarmingly high, and she was frowning.
All that mattered to him that moment was Rose.
She was with him. They were together.
He remembered all the happy times they had spent together.
All the words left unsaid.
Everything.
Rose held the Doctor at arms length, once again seeing the heart-warming smirk she had longed to see for so long.
She couldn't take it.
She was filled with a warm feeling.
She smiled, close to tears. She wiped her eyes vigorously, and felt something deep inside her glowing.
Her heart.
The one man she had dreamed of night after night. The one she had thought about every hour of every day.
She looked down and closed her eyes tightly, hoping this wasn't a dream.
It couldn't be.
She then looked up at the Doctor, and was re-assured that it wasn't a dream when she saw that happy look in his eyes.
"Doctor... I-I..."
The Doctor nodded reassuringly.
She could tell by the look in his eyes that he wanted to tell her something.
Just not here.
She was suddenly aware of footsteps walking away from the estate.
Just over the Doctors shoulder, she could see a pretty slim tanned girl in high heels and a brown jacket walking off, her arms crossed firmly across her chest.
The Doctor also looked. He suddenly took Roses hand, and jogged out of the estate, around the corner after the girl.
Rose was a little confused, but she couldn't tear her eyes away from their hands. For so long she had wanted to hold his hand.
She couldn't believe that she was with him.
Re-united once again.
