A/N- Sorry it's taken so long for these chapters to go up. I kept changing things, and was never really happy with how their first meeting would go! Also, I'm in the holidays, so I've been trying really hard to fit writing into my busy schedule! Please excuse my writing, I'm NOT a romance writer, but I'll try my best! I would love to thank you all for the wonderful reviews! They really, really help to get me motivated to write more!
OO
It seemed like forever, that Rose and the Doctor stood in that empty park, not ever wanting to let go. If someone had been walking along that gravel path, and spotted those two people, they would instantly have known that they must be in love. The man had wrapped his arms very securely and protectively around the young blonde woman, as she silently buried her head into his chest, trying to get ever closer. One would think that they would never let go…
OO
Rose's heart was barely contained inside her chest. She could never remember a time when the emotions that she was feeling now, were racing this hard inside her. Rose let herself melt into the Doctor's arms, feeling his warmth and the gentle, rhythmic beating of his two hearts. She felt like she had awaken from a terrible nightmare, one in which the Doctor was gone, and she had only just woken up to find him smiling over her, and reminding her that it was after all, just a dream. She never realised just how much she loved him, how much she wanted to be with him…forever…
OO
The Doctor gently rested his head on top of Rose's. He felt her head bury further into his chest and he smiled. Oh how he had wanted this; how he had dreamt of this. Ever since that fateful day in Bad Wolf Bay, he had missed her, so very badly. The void that Rose had so wonderfully filled had emptied, leaving him in two. Martha and Donna had helped him regain his old spark, but nothing compared to what Rose could do. She helped him through so much pain and loss of the Time War… She had opened his eyes to what love could truly mean…
OO
Rose gently lifted her head, and looked into the Doctor's loving brown eyes.
"I still love you." She whispered.
The Doctor felt all of his emotions start screaming. How he had longed to reply to those words…
"Now that's it's not the last chance for me to say it…Rose Tyler, I love you too."
And with that, the Doctor pulled Rose into the most passionate kiss he had ever given.
OO
"So, Doctor, you never said, how did you get to this world? I thought you sealed all the cracks?" Rose asked.
The Doctor and Rose were walking along a busy footpath in central London, slowly making their way to the Tyler mansion. The Doctor gave Rose a cheeky grin.
"You made me." He looked straight at Rose.
She was shocked for a second, before getting the hint.
"Us humans you mean." She smiled.
He nodded, grinned, and set off in another one of his seemingly endless, exaggerated stories…
"Well, I was in the year 7000 and…"
OO
"Hello everyone, I'm home!"
Rose and the Doctor made their way through the front hall, hearing the sounds of scraping chairs and a rather loud television filtering through the door from opposite rooms.
"Sweetie! Are you OK? Mickey phoned and said you'd gone running off somewhere in the middle of a…" Jackie Tyler's voice rang throughout the house.
Jackie came rushing through the door from the kitchen. She stopped dead when she noticed who Rose had brought with her. The cup Jackie was holding fell to the floor with a crash.
"Mum… are you OK…?" Rose took a couple of worried steps towards her mother, fearing what she would do to the Doctor.
"You!"
SMACK
"Ouch! What was that for?" The Doctor put his hand to his stinging face where Jackie had slapped him.
"That's for breaking my daughter's heart! And this…"
Jackie pulled him into a huge bear hug. The Doctor swore he could feel bones snapping. He looked over to where Rose was standing. She was barely concealing a giggle beneath her hands.
"This is for coming back!" Jackie beamed at him.
"Hey, Jacks, who is it?" Pete Tyler poked his head around the doorframe.
"Pete! From Pete's world!" The Doctor beamed.
"Doctor?" Pete blinked in surprise.
"How'd you…"
"I think its time we had some tea? Don't you think?" Rose interrupted, motioning for Jackie and the Doctor to follow her into the kitchen.
The Doctor smiled broadly and followed Rose's lead, ignoring Pete's surprised looks.
Once they had settled around the kitchen table, all eyes turned to the Doctor.
"You'd better tell them Doctor." Rose nudged him.
"Oh, do you all want to know how I got here, why it took so long, what I've been doing these past two years, what I ate for lunch, and…"
"Just the first three Doctor." Jackie interrupted. The Doctor gave Rose a sideways glance had grinned.
"Well…"
