She fell asleep again.

We were talking; she said she could sleep too.

Now her head falls on my shoulder and her legs loll against mine.

She's not wearing any shoes, I notice, and her socks are striped.

I slip an arm around her shoulder and another under her legs.

I pick her up and she huddles closer.

I carry her through the halls of the TARDIS, carefully.

Tucking her into her bunk, she stirs and says, 'Doctor?'

'Shh, go back to sleep.'

'Doctor… stay?

'I've got something I need to do first, I'll come back."

And she falls asleep.


This is the end of my odd two-shot drabble. The first part (in case you didn't figure this out) was Rose's POV and this part was The Doctor's POV. Please review! I don't own Doctor Who. ~Jedi Annie Scrambler
