Disclaimer: nah, still don't :(

ok, so no-one's read it :/ YET! I might add! but, in case you did and you just didn't review (meany!) here is chapter two... (and also just because I'm enjoying it immensley!)

Chapter two

Ruth walked through the pod doors, an hour earlier than she would have done normally, to find Harry sat at his desks with his head in his hands. She walked into his office to find out what was wrong.

"Harry? Are you ok?" She asked, standing in the doorway

He looked up at the sound of her voice and smiled slightly-although she knew he didn't mean it. "Not really Ruth. Things are pretty bad"

"What now?"

"Wait for the others"

"Oh." She said quietly. He had always told her everything, and always first-even if she shouldn't know. He must have realised this, because he carried on

"I would tell you Ruth, you know that. The Home Secretary wants to make an announcement." She relaxed at this, but could see that he was still tense. She wasn't sure what to do, so she just went with what came naturally,

"Do you need a hug?" She asked with a small smile on her face, and he looked up and answered whithout hesitating,

"Yes." He nodded, "Yes Ruth I do." She walked over to him, and pulled him up to her, wrapping her arms around him. He, in turn wound his arms around her waist- and for the first time in ages they felt truly happy and contented; all worries forgotten. When they heard the pod doors opening, she pulled back slightly and kissed his cheek, whispering in his ear "Whatever happens today, just remember that I love you" this shocked him into silence because he still wasn't quite concentrating when everyone finally got there. 15 minutes later, the team were all in Harry's office looking puzzled and tired-it would seem Ruth wasn't the only one who had a sleepless night.

"Now I know yesterday was hard for all of us" Harry started calming down, and trying not to smile like some sort of crazy love-sick teenager "I know that it was the first day you were told about the truths of this universe, the first day that it was confirmed to you what UNIT does. Unfortunately today, the Home Secretary had more new news for you, more rumours to confirm" Most of the team looked at each other quizzically, but not Ruth who knew what was going to happen.

And sure enough, the Home Secretary came bursting through the pod doors and made his way dramatically to Harry's office. He faced the team, and answered the questions plainly written across their faces

"I am here to tell you that as a consequence of the Earth yet again being landed on by creatures from another planet," there were worried looks from some of the team, who were still adjusting to the news from yesterday "we have had to resort to measures we don't normally rely on. I know that some of you will be aware of this man, even if you do doubt his existence. I have to tell you, that for the interests of this country-you will be working alongside the Doctor" There were a few gasps at this, and then a chorus of questions,

"He exists?"

"He's coming here?"

"We get to work with him?"

But Ruth, ever sensible and aware of his existence asked (after everyone had calmed down slightly) "When is he supposed to be here"

"Well that's our only problem. We haven't actually made contact yet. We have the number that you supposedly dial. Harry, do the honours." The Home Secretary passed Harry a piece of paper with some numbers on it. Harry looked unsure, but one glance at Ruth, who winked reassuringly, made him feel better. He dialled at put it on speaker. After a bit someone answered

"Hello?" the person said,

"Is that the Doctor?" the H.S asked

"Yes, who is this, and how did you manage to get a phone here?"

"My name is William Towers, I'm Britain's Home Secretary and we were told this is how we contact you"

"Home Sec… ah. I see, you need my help."

"Yes. Yes we do-it's an international emergency"

"Sorry I'm busy." Everyone exchanged glances

"What?" Towers managed to ask eventually

"I said I'm busy right now. Might get there soon enough, ok?" This was the final straw for Ruth, who burst out saying,

"BUSY? You're busy? You've been busy for seven years now! Would you just get your lazy, good for nothing, 900 year old ass down here!"

There was a shocked silence from everyone on the grid, and Ruth would have looked sheepish, if it weren't for the fact she was simply having a go at her best friend. The sudden burst of laughter from the speaker phone brought them all back to reality.

"The only person who would say that! Ha ha! Of course I'll be there. Give me two minutes Mr Home Secretary Sir. Ha ha! Yep I'll be there alright" He gave another bark of laughter before hanging up.

Everyone turned to look at Ruth. Who simply stared back. "What? You either ask nicely and say please, or make sure there is someone with you who he actually listens to." She told them, as if it were the most obvious thing ever.

"And he does? Listen to you, I mean" Harry asked

"Oh yes." Ruth said "Always has, always will"

So that's it for chapter two! I'm bound to get carried away with the whole Doctor/Ruth situation, so I know there won't anything with like aliens or whatever-just because I'm not smart enough to figure that out! ;)

What I can promise is there will be more Ruth/Harry for people who like that. Aaaand…more laughable moments. I think. Maybe one more chapter? Let me know your thoughts. Xx
