It had been three weeks since Rose's surgery; things were starting to look up within the Tyler-Smith household. Rose was recovering, slowly but surely, The Doctor had taken time off from the University to ensure Rose was well looked after, not doing anything she shouldn't be doing. Together they managed to pull through the difficulties they faced, tea time was always tough, Rose had to constantly live off soup for a week or so whilst her throat healed.

Even know their children were only young, they could all see something was wrong with their Mummy, especially Jenny, who was only eight years old, but like every child that age, she picked up on everything.

Rose often thought about telling Jenny what was wrong with her, but no matter how many times she argued with it in her head, she knew Jenny was too young to understand the full meaning and understanding of what was wrong with her Mummy. Rose often sat there and wondered, what would happen if she died? She'd learnt to come to terms that death could be a risk, it was a risk every day in her line of work, why was now any different? She was going to fight, fight until end with everything she had.

Rose was shook from her thoughts as she felt The Doctor slouch himself on to the couch, sitting next to her and relaxing.

"Out like a light, all three of them. That walk in the park tired them out thankfully." He let out a sigh of relief, resting his head against the back of the sofa and watched Rose sigh slightly. She wished she could say she knew they were worn out from all the running and playing, but due to the surgery on her neck, it meant she wasn't allowed out in the sun for long periods. "You okay?" He asked gently, it seemed to be the only thing he was asking Rose at the moment. Most of the time it was all he wanted to know, panicking slightly in case she wasn't.

"Yeah," Rose answered shortly, nodding gently.

"Sure...did you put that cream on your-"The Doctor had started to ask, before Rose cut him off.

"Yes, I put it on, fully moisturised." Rose sighed gently, "Just like every morning and every night, now will you please stop fussing?"

"Sorry, I'm just checking..." The Doctor whispered under his breath, he knew rose was capable of doing things, and maintaining guidelines instructed by her surgeon and doctor, he knew she could, but he felt like he needed to check wither, to just feel as though he was looking after her properly instead of watching her struggle on her own.

The Doctor pulled Rose into his arms, avoiding her operated side, kissing her forehead gently, even after all the years they'd been together, he still found the love he felt for Rose overwhelming, seeing her suffer like this made his hear t clench. Especially knowing how much it hurt her, not being able to carry one of twins when they're tired from walking, not being able to go for walks with them, he could see how much it pained her.

"I love you." He whispered gently in to her ear as he pulled Rose closer to him.

"Really?" Rose looked up at The Doctor, it always amazed her when he said it.

"Of course I do, Rose no matter what, I will always love you, I love you more every day, never ever doubt that."

"You just said never ever." Rose whispered, a grin beginning to form on her face as the warm memories of 2012 reformed in her mind.

"Indeed I did, but in this case, I think its okay, I love you, always and forever, that's our deal, right? Never doubt my love for you, not ever."

"It's just..." Rose paused for a moment, the feeling of doubt was all that filled her at the moment, "I just feel so useless though, being stuck inside most of the time, not being able to spend it with you or the kids...I wish I could...I just...I just feel useless, and helpless. I just worry you don't love me, or –" The doctor stopped her as he sensed where her mini speech was going and gently placed his finger on her lips.

"Shh. I don't want to hear that you think I could ever stop loving you, because i never could. You're my life Rose, you are everything."

"Don't say that," Rose whispered, shaking her head gently, but The Doctor just looked at her, confusion filling his face as he began to frown, "Don't say I'm everything, because when I'm gone-"

"You aren't going anywhere." The Doctor replied firmly, his body tensing at the thought of her dying, "You hear me? Nowhere. You are going to beat this, you're strong."

"One of us has to face up to reality, Doctor," Rose looked up to face him, his face was emotionless and empty, she could tell he was fighting with his emotions, and fighting against the different possibilities, "That is the reality, and you know it, it is a possibility, if it spreads then..." She trailed off track, he knew what she meant without her having to say it out loud.

"We've said this time and time again, it's a tiny possibility, one that we aren't going to even consider or face unless it happens, and it won't, it just won't."

"Okay," Rose nodded, she knew this was where the conversation was going to end, it always did end this way, "Okay, I'm sorry. Sorry." She apologised, resting her head against her Husband's chest.

"S'alright," he whispered into her hair, sitting it silence for a few minutes, before rose broke the silence.

"You'vebeen amazing y'know? Everything you've done."

"Rose..." he smiled at her, "How can you call me amazing, you're the one who's managed to stay calm, and...you're being amazing, just..." He stuttered as he struggled to find the words, everything Rose was going through The Doctor found amazing, it always amazed him how strong she was, how she could take on everything.

"You have!" Rose insisted, "You've been juggling an ill wife, three young children, and my mother! That's amazing; you are an amazing husband and a wonderful father. And don't you dare try and deny it!"

"I try my best rose," The Doctor smirked and grinned, "What else can I do? I love you all, more than I ever thought possible."

"I know," Rose nodded, "I love you, the children adore you...and I think even mums come round to you." She joked, they both knew Jackie loved The Doctor as a son-in-law, it was obvious, especially over the past few weeks and months, Jackie had been there for The Doctor whenever he needed a hand with the kids, or on the end of the phone if he ever needed to talk.

"No there's a scary thought," The Doctor joked and took her hand in his remember, "Just remember, we're in this together."

"Together."
