A couple of hours had passed and Jackie was slowly getting wasted. It didn't really bother anyone; she was quite a cheery drunk. She had shoved Rose out of her seat to sit next to the Doctor and began giving him advice on life as a human. The Doctor sat in silence occasionally nodding his head to make her feel as if she was actually being helpful.

"Oh and another thing never try and convince your kids that The Smurfs are real."

The Doctor snapped out of his gaze and looked at her in confusion.

"What? You tried to convince Tony that The Smurfs are real?" he asked her.

"Oh no, not Tony, me!" Rose exclaimed

They all laughed at the madness of it.

"When was this?" he asked Rose

"Only a couple of years ago" she chuckled.

"Well you've seen so many things out there, I just thought that you might believe it if I told you that The Smurfs were real." She interrupted, taking another sip of her drink.

"You do say some stupid things when you're drunk mother." Rose told her.

Jackie just replied with a cynical smile.

The music had changed now, from the cheesy pop to the motown and other classics. Despite this change, Tony was still happily bopping in his seat while playing with a newly made friend.

"I'll get another round in," Pete announced.

He got up from the table and made his way around the table to Jackie. Pete was less intoxicated than Jackie, but he was still tipsy non the less.

"Come on woman you're coming to help me." He declared, pulling her by the sleeve towards the bar.

"Oh, Mr. Tyler, I love it when you demand." She joked and placed a soft kiss on his lips.

They scurried towards the bar as Rose moved from her seat to the seat she was originally sat in next to the Doctor.

"Hi" she smiled at him as she sat down.

He grinned his signature smile back at her.

"Sorry bout mum, she doesn't drink that often, so when she does it really goes to her head." She apologised, trying to contain a giggle.

"Ah, that's ok. She's quite entertaining." He admitted.

"You're handling you're drink well, you know considering…" she observed.

"I've only had three."

"Yeah, but that's more than you're used to, isn't it?" she asked.

He thought for a moment.

"Yeah, I s'pose it is. Well, we'll see how I feel after this next one."

She chuckle at the thought of a drunken Doctor, and cuddled into his side. She took in his scent, it was so comforting to her, he didn't need any false odours, his innate aroma was powerful, pleasant and pleasing enough. He pulled her in a little closer to him and kissed the top of her.

"You're in my seat" Jackie exclaimed as she returned from the bar.

"No mum, you were in my seat." Rose corrected her.

Jackie simply shrugged and sat down, realising that Rose was actually right.

Pete sat down next to her and let out a big yawn.

"Tired?" the Doctor asked.

Pete nodded in reply.

"Aww, honey. We'll go after this one. I wouldn't mind getting you home." She winked at him.

"Oh, mum!" Rose protested.

"Oh, but it's ok for you to snog the Doctor at every opportunity you get."

Both the Doctor and Rose remained silent, Rose just rolled her eyes then looked away from her mother and focused on the people dancing on the dance floor.

Despite Jackie's promise an hour and two drinks later, they were still sat at the table discussing total rubbish.

"Does it really matter that The Teletubbies are different colours in this universe mum?" Rose asked her.

"Not really sweetheart, it just gets confusing at times."

The Doctor burst out into a fit of laughter. It was then that Rose realised that he was drunk. It had taken six drinks to get him into this state, not bad considering he's never really had a proper drink. Rose decided to confront him on the subject.

"Are you drunk Doctor?" Rose asked him in a jokey tone.

He shook his head vigorously before he answered.

"No. Not me. Never. Well, never say never." He confirmed.

He moved closer to Rose, a mischievous look on his face.

"God you're gorgeous." He told her, nuzzling his nose into her cheek.

Rose blushed as she remembered that her Pete and Jackie were just across the table.

"Thanks" she said, concentrating her gaze on a piece of fluff on her jeans that wasn't actually there.

"Can I have a kiss?" the Doctor whispered to Rose.

Rose felt a little tipsy herself, and she felt more confident in her actions, but she was sober enough to know that grabbing the Doctor and kissing him so hard that his teeth would fall out was not a wise thing to do in front of her mother and the numerous kids running around.

"No" she whispered back.

The Doctor's face fell.

"Why not?"

Rose leant in closer to his ear.

" 'Coz if I start I might not be able to stop."

The grin re-emerged on his face as he chuckled softly onto her neck, causing her desire to increase.

"Excuse me, nature calls." He excused himself, as he slipped away from Rose and around the corner.

As he disappeared from her sight the song changed to a slow love song.

"Oh Pete, can we dance? I love this song." Jackie asked.

He rolled his eyes, but pulled her from her seat to the dance floor. Rose sat on her own throughout the song, she felt a bit daft surrounded by couples and families who were getting up and swaying to the slow beat. Trust the Doctor to disappear at the most inconvenient of times. As the song ended he reappeared.

"Where've you been?" she asked him as he stood next to where she was sat.

"I got talking to this bloke at the bar. He wanted to sell me a goat."

Rose gave him a questioning look but the Doctor just shrugged, he didn't know why he was offered the opportunity to buy a goat.

"Where's Pete and Jackie?" he asked her, even thought he could guess what they were doing.

"Dancing" she replied.

The Doctor had a look of disappointment on his face.

"That was a nice song that was just playing." He stated, looking at Rose intently.

She nodded in agreement but kept quiet.

"Mummy" Tony called to Jackie as she returned from her dance.

"I'm tired," he continued.

She lifted him from his seat and cradled him.

"Come on, let's go home, I didn't realise how late it was." She said, as she got her jacket and headed for the door, Pete not far behind them.

The Doctor felt saddened by the fact that he had missed the opportunity to have his first dance with Rose and he could tell that she felt the same. But he would make it happen, he was determined to now.

The Doctor wrapped his arm around Rose and kept her close to him all the way home. They kept the conversation light, but Rose had to admit that the Doctor was a very funny and suggestive man when he was drunk.

Once back at the Tyler home, Pete took Tony up to his room and put him to bed.

"You two staying tonight?" Jackie asked them.

Rose glanced over towards the Doctor. He was leaning against the wall, staring at a plant pot in front of him; it was obvious that he was in deep thought.

"Yeah best had, I don't think I'll be able to get him home." She smirked.

"Ok, I'll go and set a bed up for you."

She went to go up the stairs but staggered backwards as her spinning head caused her to lose her balance.

"On second thoughts maybe I'll get Pete to do it." she joked.

Both Rose and the Doctor rushed towards her, only to find her laughing at herself.

"Don't worry about that mum, we'll sleep in the TARDIS" Rose told her.

"Oh, brilliant idea Rose." The Doctor piped up.

Jackie nodded at the decision and grabbed Pete's arm as he reached the bottom of the stairs. He helped her up and escorted her off to bed.

"Night" he called as he disappeared out of sight, leaving the Doctor and Rose looking at them in awe.

"Bless 'em," the Doctor said, as he took Rose's hand and lead her towards the TARDIS.

Inside the TARDIS, Rose was taking some time to take in everything that was going on. She had to keep telling herself, I'm here, in the TARDIS, with the Doctor, and it's all mine. She smiled to herself, before looking over to one of the chairs where the Doctor had plonked himself. He was smirking a rather sexy smirk at her. She couldn't help but let out a girlie giggle. He rose from the seat and held out his hand to her.

"Come with me." He told her.

Rose looked at his face, the smirk had gone and there was a hint of eagerness on his face. She moved towards him and gripped his hand, then allowing herself to be lead down the hallway. They stepped into the living room; the Doctor flicked the light on before making his way over to the CD player.

"Why exactly are we in here Doctor?" She asked him.

"You'll see" he relied.

It took him a moment to load the CD, he had sobered up a bit, but his co- ordination was still a bit off. As the music began to play he strolled over to Rose and extended his hand.

"May I have this dance Miss. Tyler?"

Rose looked at his hand then realised what song was playing. It was Bryan Adams' 'Amazed'.

"I love this song," she stated, smiling and taking his hand.

He pulled her towards him and twirled her around. He was reassured by her radiating smile. He gripped her slightly closer to him, as she raised her hands and placed them around his neck, resting her head against his.

They swayed in silence for a while until Rose decided to break the silence.

"So, are you ok? Well, are we ok? She asked nervously.

"I'm ok Rose. I just needed to get my head around it."

"So I'm forgiven?"

He shook his head and chuckled lightly. Taking his hands from her hips to her face he kissed her softly. Rose sank into it, comforted by the passion and adoration that she felt from his soft lips. They remained attached to each other as they rocked for the last part of the song, pulling away only when the music stopped and they were both in need of a full breath.

"Do you have any idea at all how much I love you?" he asked her. His voice was low, serious and desperate.

Rose stuttered a bit, not really knowing what to say. A simple I love you didn't seem enough this time.

"I desperately want you to know how much I love you, I just …can't put it into words." She admitted, looking at the floor.

"Rose, you got me here, everything you went through to get back to me. I think that shows me how much you love me." He assured her.

"Sometimes, I have to look at you, I mean really look at you, 'coz it doesn't feel real, it's like a dream and I'm gonna wake up at any moment." She continued to confess.

"I know" the Doctor agreed.

He dipped his head to kiss her again.

"But it is real" he whispered onto her lips, and kissed her again, this time more forcefully.

It was the early hours of the morning by the time the Doctor and Rose had finished making love and chatting about the past and touched on the subject of their future.

"It's a good job we don't have work tomorrow" the Doctor said sleepily.

"Mm… well I think we'll get a lie in judging by mum's state this evening."

"Yeah" the Doctor laughed.

"Thank you for a lovely evening, Doctor."

"No problem" he replied, as he gave one last kiss goodnight.

Within minutes they were both fast asleep snuggled as close to each other's bodies as they could possible get. It had been a tiring day to say the least.

Rose woke suddenly, the sight of her surroundings was unfamiliar and it took her a few moments to realise where she was. The Doctor, who had been mutely sat watching Rose sleep, reached across and placed his hand on her shoulder.

"It's ok," he whispered, gently stroking her skin.

She turned her head and looked at him, her hair was all messy and her eyes were half closed from the light the TARDIS was generating. She smiled at him as she realised where she was.

"Sorry, I'm not used to waking up in this environment." She chuckled.

The Doctor shuffled closer to her and placed his arm around her.

"That's ok, I did exactly the same thing."

She chuckled at him again, before reaching down to her jeans, which were absurdly flung on the floor, and pulled out her phone to check the time.

"It's only 9.30. How long have you been awake?" she asked him, trying to straighten out her hair.

"Not long, half hour, something like that. What's the plan for today?" he asked her, as she settled back down next to him and placed her head on his shoulder.

"Sleeping" she quickly replied.

The Doctor pulled a disapproving face.

"Oh come on Rose, it's meant to be a lovely day today. Can't we go out and do something?" he whined.

Rose sighed; despite the Doctor now being human he still had plenty of energy, even after a very late night. She thought for a few moments, trying to figure out something they could do that wasn't too energy consuming.

"We could take Tony to the park." She eventually replied.

She knew that Tony would be running around like it was his last day with legs, but so would the Doctor, which meant that all she had to do was make sure that they didn't hurt themselves in the process.

"Yeah, that's a lovely idea Rose." He smiled at her.

"Great, but Doctor?" she asked, her face turning more serious.

"Mmm?"

"Can I at least get another hours kip?"

The Doctor looked down into her pleading eyes and let out a moan of defeat, before cuddling closer to her.

"You have exactly 60 minuets" he joked, smiling into her soft skin.
