"We could have that Rose that could be us" John murmured.

"But it can't be." Rose whispered.

"Why can't it? Tell me Rose why can't we grow old together?" John shouted.

Rose took a deep breath and stared up at him. "Tell me John in all of those visions of that future. Did you once see me age?"

John opened his mouth and closed it; he then opened it again only to have no words. He was a man that always had words and now he doesn't. It was unnerving. She thought back to what the watch showed him. He aged, very well in his opinion. Donna aged, Martha, Gwen, Ianto, tosh and Owen...they all aged.

But Jack and Rose didn't.

They stayed forever young, not a wrinkle, not a blemish, not even a grey hair...their skin stayed smooth, their hair bright and colourful and their teeth stayed in (well Jack might have had a few knocked out by angry boyfriends/girlfriends)...only their eyes aged. Such old eyes that showed wisdom and pain.

Rose smiled up at him sadly. "I don't age" she said quietly. "But you will, you'll wither and die" a tear fell down her cheek and he swallowed, he knew full well that she was quoting the Doctor. "I tried my hardest to die" she whispered.

"Please don't" he begged her.

"I'm sorry" she said sobbing slightly. "But you got to hear this. I tried all sorts at first. Overdose, shooting myself in the head, jumping off a cliff...but I couldn't seem to die! It wasn't fair! I wanted to die but you wouldn't let me!"

"I...I...I" he really couldn't think of the words to say.

"But then I find my way back to you. Only to find that you done something so completely and utterly stupid! To make yourself human...to not want to change back..." he reached out to cup her face, to apologise and beg for her forgiveness though he had done nothing wrong. She slapped his hands away from her. "How fucking stupid are you Doctor?" she spat out getting up and stepping away from him.

He stood up and stamped on his foot. "I am not the Doctor!" he shouted. "I am John Noble son of Sylvia and Gregory Noble, brother of Donna Noble and god help me I love you!"

"Don't...just don't. It's not fair for me or for you" Rose said quietly. "I strung you along, knowing full well that you had to open the watch soon...and I'm sorry but please open it"

"You didn't string me alone" John protested. He reached out and grabbed hold of her arms firmly. "Tell me you don't love me" he shook her. "Tell me you don't love me and I'll open that goddamn watch!"

"I...I...I don't..." she shook her head as more tears fell. "Don't make me say it...you're the same!"

"We're not!" he hissed.

"You are. The very same, only he's a Time Lord" Rose said firmly, sniffing and trying to wipe her tears up. "I won't say it, you got to open that watch"

"If you won't say it then I won't open the watch" John said just as firmly before leaning down and giving her a bruising hard kiss. "Go on say it!"

She didn't say anything.

He pulled her in for another kiss, his tongue invading her mouth, his hands moving everywhere; he began to fiddle with the clasps of her dress when she pulled away.

"We can't!"

"We can" he said pulling her back to him.

"They'll hear us" Rose argued.

"We'll be quiet"

"Cardiff is about to be destroyed!"

"We'll be quick. Then later we'll go slow" he pestered before leaning down to trails kisses on her neck. "Please..."

"It's been twenty minutes" Donna growled. "How long do they need?"

"Give them sometime; John is rather stubborn when he wants to be" Martha pointed out "besides it gives us sometime to make some plans. We need to think of something to put Father of Mine in once we shoot Jack"

"There are a couple of artefacts in the archives that might be able to do it" Ianto said thoughtfully.

"Oh excellent plan Ianto and just how exactly will we get past the Family?" Owen asked rolling his eyes.

"Well Scooby, you and Shaggy can be the distraction while me and Velma go nick the artefact" Donna said her eyes glinting.

"Not in this lifetime Ginger Spice. I only just got my life back, I am not going to lose it again" Owen drawled.

"Not even for a Scooby Snack" Donna said pulling out a beer from the fridge and waving it temptingly at him.

"Not even if you served me pizza and beer naked" Owen said shaking his head.

"Bastard" Donna muttered as she put the beer back into the fridge and slammed the door shut.

"Love you too Ginger Spice, love you too" Owen said sarcastically before getting off of the sofa he had been lounging on. "God I forgotten what a pain the bladder is" he muttered under his breath as he ran to the bathroom.

Five minutes later when he came out, Tosh sidled up to his side. "We're giving them five more minutes" she murmured. "And if they don't get the watch open by then Donna is going to knock him out with a frying pan and do it herself"

Owen snorted. "Typical" he muttered before glancing sideways to Tosh, she was staring at him with a mixture of awe, disbelieve and...Should he call it love? He wasn't sure. All he did though was wrap an arm round her shoulder and gave her a gruff one armed hug before quickly dropping a kiss on her forehead and moving onwards to talk to Gwen and Ianto

He quickly zipped up his trousers and tugged at his sweaty collar, he couldn't believe what he had done, he had just practically forced Rose into...he looked at from the corner of his eye, she looked flushed, sweaty and her hair was all over the place as she pulled down the skirt of her gown.

"I can't say it" she whispered.

"I know"

"But you can't stay human"

"Yeah..."

"Please open the watch" she said pleadingly.

He looked at her and felt ashamed at whatever emotional trauma he had put her through...he didn't want to be John Noble anymore if it meant he'll do things like that...what type of person forces someone...what type of person hurts someone emotionally...he sighed.

"Ok...I'll open the watch"

He only prayed that the Doctor will able to treat her better than he did.
