Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I own nothing. *sniffs slightly* If I did Rose would still be here.
Ro proceeded to pull a beautiful gold pocket watch on a delicate chain out from under her jacket.
"H-have you…...Have you ever opened it?" The Doctor asked, not quite daring to believe that it could be true. That she could...That she could be-. NO. He would not allow himself to think that, to start to hope, 'til it was confirmed.
All the while Ro was looking down at her necklace wondering how on earth this man thought her necklace was important. After all no one else had even really noticed it before.
Ro cut him off of his thinking by asking him, "Why do ya want to know anyway? It's just an old watch."
"Oh, but its so much more. More than you could think. Now think back. When did first get it? Who gave it to you? Your parents? Maybe a relative? Think back! Who gave you that watch- Oh! I never did get your name! Well then, I'm the Doctor but you already knew that as you already said it a-"
"It's Ro." She said sticking her hand out before his rambling could go any farther.
"Hmmmm...Ro." He said, rolling his tongue as he said the R, "Lovley name. Reminds me of someone I used to know…"
As the Doctor said this Ro saw a quick but deep flash of pain and loss flit across his face before it was once again replaced by manic energy.
"Right! Now about the watch. Why don't you open it. Take a quick peek! See what's inside?"
She replied by giving him a placating look and saying sarcastically, "If it means so much to you….."
"Oh, it does," The Doctor said, completely ignoring her sarcasm.
Ro then took the watch a pushed the button to open it, thinking to herself, 'This doctor is completely crazy.'
The Doctor then watched as a golden light spilled from the watch and engulfed Ro. It was gorgeous and only added to the incredibility of the moment. When it finally died down Ro looked up with love and tears spilling from her eyes as she gave an extremely familiar smile and said with an even more familiar cockney accent, "My Doctor," in the happiest of voices.
It took a moment for the Doctor to find his voice and when he did it came out a bit wobbly and cracked but still full of love. And he only said one word. The most important word, he thought.
"Rose."
