Kayla winced for the umpteenth time as the Doctor applied some cleaning thing on her cheek, "Hold still." He commanded gently, but the brunet couldn't help herself and winced again.

"It hurts!" She complained in a whining tone.

The Doctor gave her a motherly look, "But now it won't scar, or be there." He pointed out. Pouting, Kayla crossed her arms as the Doctor finished applying the cleaning thing, "Done." He said finally.

"Thanks." Kayla grumbled.

Rolling his eyes, the Time Lord helped her down from her chair and held onto her hand, just staring at her, "You're perfect." He said suddenly.

"Are you trying to get a kiss?" She teased.

The Doctor smirked, "Do I need to beg for them?"

The brunet giggled, "Do you want to?"

Shaking his head, the Doctor pulled Kayla closer to him and kissed her tightly.

When they pulled apart, the Doctor had an odd look in his eyes, "You know…" he started, "Rose and Mickey are asleep, we can go somewhere."

So the Doctor had surprised his girlfriend by taking her to somewhere called Akhaten.

"They're very generous, this lot." The Time Lord told Kayla, they were walking along and holding hands, "Oh and don't buy anything." He added as a warning.

Kayla smiled at him, slightly looking up due to their height, "Why not?" She inquired.

The Time Lord just gestured to a stall next to them, "Find out." He offered.

With a roll of her eyes, she walked straight over to the stall and pointed at, of all things, a bowtie, "Can I have that?"

The man in the stall looked at her, "Alright. What do you have?"

"Uh, some spare change-" She started.

"Well, actually Kayla, the currency isn't money, it's things you cherish. Like a ring or some sort of jewelry." The Doctor interrupted.

Kayla gave him a glare, "What?" She nearly yelled. Turning back to the man in the stall, who looked rather annoyed, she gave him a small smile, "Sorry, my idiot boyfriend didn't tell me…never mind." Putting her hand in her pocket, she fished around for a second and came up with a small Vortex Manipulator, "It's an engagement present from my ex. Is it enough?"

The man nodded, "Enough and," he swallowed roughly, "more." He added as an afterthought.

So the two left with not just the bowtie but a statue of a dog and a small piccolo. While Kayla played with her bowtie, the Doctor played idly with her fingers, choosing not to mention that he had slipped her ring off. He, once in a blue moon, had very good plans. And it helped that if she didn't except than he would be very, very angry.

"What do we do now?" Kayla asked with a smile.

The Doctor shrugged, "If we had come later we could have seen the big show but all we can do is eat the food, and that would require buying them." They both gave each other identical looks and then started to laugh.

"Back to the TARDIS then?" Kayla suggested.

"Back to the TARDIS." The Doctor agreed.

Instead of going into the Time Vortex, the Doctor had taken them to another spot. London during the Blitz.

"Really Doctor, I don't really like this place." Kayla protested lightly as she followed the Time Lord through an empty night club. Of course it was empty because it was 10 IN THE MORNING!

Instead of reassuring his girlfriend, the Doctor carefully climbed up on the stage, "This is where I first met you. Where I first saw you." Kayla nodded, "And I am so glad I did." Hopping down from the stage, he knelt in front of her, "Will you marry me?" He asked, pulling her ring from earlier.

Kayla stared at him for a few seconds, "What? Isn't there some special Gallifreyan thing."

The Doctor stared up at her, "Well, yeah, but you're from Earth and I love Earth so why not go the humany way before Gallifreyan. Besides, I want you to get used to being my Bonded."

"Oh…why are you still kneeling?"

The Doctor's face fell, "Is that a no?"

Kayla let out a chocked laugh, "Of course not! Yes Doctor, of course yes!" Before the Doctor got up, the Time Lord slid the ring onto her finger and smiled up at her.

"I love you." He whispered into her ear.

Kayla smiled, "I love you too, she whispered back right before they kissed.

Captain Jack Harkness, leader of Torchwood Three, read through the private thoughts of Reinette Poisson. Of course Kayla had become her, 'mother,' she had a way with kids after all. That's what made her daughter dying hurt even more. Kayla loved kids, but to have her own child die...it was a wonder that she hadn't killed herself.

Sighing, he ran his hands through his hair. Why couldn't the Doctor and Kayla travel through time not upsetting everyone? And why did his daughter have a ring? He wasn't big on traditions, but had she really forgotten him and got engaged, possibly married, to the Doctor?

"Jack, I'm locking up!" Suzie called from the front, but Jack grunted in reply.

Rose Tyler woke up in her boyfriend's arms. That wasn't a first for her, nor was it a first to scramble out of bed and want to take a shower. Sure, she liked Mickey, but liking and loving someone was completely different.

Once her shower was done, Rose paused by the kitchen only to hear no Doctor or Kayla poking around. Figuring they were in the console room, she walked their only to see the two laughing, occasionally kissing, and, mostly on the Doctor's part, playing with Kayla's left hand. Peering very closely from around her corner, she could faintly see a ring on Kayla's ring finger.

With a gasp, she leaned heavily against the wall. Despite knowing she shouldn't feel anything but happiness for the two, the blond couldn't help the white hot jealousy and anger she was feeling. She had been there with the Doctor longer. She had met the Doctor first. She had left everything and everyone for him. And to repay her, he gave his hearts, his love, to a slightly leggy brunet that had just waltzed in and stolen everything.

It wasn't fair!

Storming off, she went back to her room and slammed the door.

I love Thief's and Other Thief's love. And Earth engagement! Oh how romantic! But stupid Idiot and Flower are yelling so much. Still…poor Flower. She'll never learn that Thief will never love her. At least she'll be gone…I think. But still, Other Thief and her…Lola? Oh I don't know, what's the girl's name? That'll be hard.

OMG the Doctor and Kayla are engaged! D'aww
