AN: The final chapter! I hope everyone enjoyed the story!

The TARDIS materialized in a large open square that was surrounded by tall white stone buildings. The street was shimmering gray stone and several people were walking around calmly. One or two of the soft blue humanoid beings glanced at the TARDIS, but didn't bother with it. A small noseless creature that strongly resembled a cocker spaniel rushed into the square barking, but sounding more like the notes on an organ. A moment later, the door of the TARDIS swung open and Rose Tyler stepped out with a smile. Stepping out after her, the Doctor shut the TARDIS door and claimed her hand. Grinning, he proudly told her, "Welcome to Barcelona." Looking around, Rose smiled and waved to some of the onlookers. Then her eyes landed on the small cocker spaniel like creature. Scooping it up, she cooed to it softly as the Doctor grinned and mocked rolled his eyes.

"So when can we expect Hope?" Rose asked him suddenly as she cradled the creature which was happily curling up against her arms and chest. Blinking, the Doctor recovered from his surprise and shrugged,
"I don't know Rose," he grinned, "That would take all of the fun out of it." Smirking, Rose set the dog back on the ground and ignoring the soft huffing sound it made. Stepping up in front of the Doctor, she raised an eyebrow and reached up, running a finger over his tie.
"Doctor," she flirted, "You sound excited by that." Smirking, Rose added, "Are you turning into a regular bloke." Trying to sound serious and stern, the Doctor responded,
"Don't be silly Miss Tyler. It is an established fact of the laws of time that if a creature with any level of reasoning ability learns of their future they-"

He was cut off by one Miss Rose Tyler pulling on the tie that she had her fingers wrapped around and pressing her lips to his. At the soft pressure of her lips and the reminder that she was indeed back in the right universe, the Doctor decided that a lecture on the laws of time probably weren't the most important thing at the moment.

On a roof top above them, Hope couldn't quite help the smile that appeared on her face. Her job was officially over. Her mother was back where she belonged, Donna was back where she belonged and she had a date with Jack that Friday night. Life for her didn't get much better than that. The sound of a TARDIS materializing behind her made her turn and smile as the familiar public police box appeared. The Doctor stepped out a moment later and grinned at her. Smiling in return, Hope went to her father and hugged him tightly, "Where's Mum?" Hope asked as she glanced into the empty control room. Releasing his daughter, the Doctor glanced into the control room and chuckled, "She'll be along in a moment. She's on the phone with your sister." Looking toward the edge of the white building, the Doctor walked forward and looked down at the square below. Smiling, he watched the younger Rose scoop up the small dog again and remembered the way she had begged to keep it.

The Doctor rubbed the back of his neck as he felt the rush of another mind. Looking around the square, he frowned as he identified it as Hope. He raised his line of sight and spotted three figures on top of one of the nearby buildings. The suns behind them, made it impossible to be certain of their forms, but he knew who they were and smiled. "Doctor?" Turning back to Rose, he gave her a grin and grabbed her hand, letting her lead him off into the capitol of Barcelona.
