Disclsimer: I don't own anything! If I would I wouldn't be here
Thanks for reading... I'm sorry for the Cliffhangers in the last Chapters ;)
He remained silent for a while his thumb stroking the back of her hand. His thoughts racing then he smiled.
"That's a difficult question; every marriage is different. Some are just because of reproducing. Usually time lords are much less emotional than human - than most species actually. True love is very rare; so is marriage because of love. But if it happens, if we find someone who completes us, we form a bond. A bond much more powerful than a promise. A bond of minds. It means feeling what the other feels; hearing what the other thinks; sending the other thoughts. It's almost unbreakable - and if you break it, it hurts." he explained.
"So what did you ask me for?" She asked. He rolled on his side and propped himself up on his ellbow - letting go of her hand. His other hand ran over her arm. She closed her eyes, shivering under his soft touch.
"Rose, I love you. I think that's exactly what this is... true love. I would be honered to bond my mind with yours but I would never ask you to..." Her eyes flew open "I couldn't because once you're connected to someone, there's no going back." She retraced the lines of his face.
"I never felt this strong for anybody and I don't think it will go away. This..." she ran over his arm. "This is true love; this is forever. Doctor, ask me." She said. "You put that diamond ring on my finger. In human culture this means you, too, are sure that you will always love me. Ask me." He smiled.
"Rose Tyler, will you bond your beautiful, brilliant mind with mine?"
"Yes, I will." Her hand moved up to his neck and she pulled him down into a passionate kiss interrupted by her yawning. He chuckled pulled the covers over their bodies and laid down next to her spooning her. She cuddled into his chest and fell asleep. He kept watching her; the peaceful epression on her face; the slow rise and fall of her chest. Why was he so fascinated by her? Well, the better question would be: Why is noone else? The human boys are only attracted by her beauty, her wonderful body; they never saw how brilliant she was, how smart. Well, Mickey did; at least a bit. He saw that she was brave and loyal but still he never saw just how incredibly bright Rose was. His pretty pink and yellow human. His lovely Rose. Soon he, too, drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
Suddenly he felt a movement next to him. His eyes flew open to see Rose sitting up straight. He put a hand on her back.
"you alright?" he asked. She laid down on his chest.
"Just a nightmare..." She said and closed her eyes. He placed an arm around her shoulders.
"Tell me about it." as she didn't move he added "I want to take your fear away." She still didn't move. He rolled over and pinned her down - he propped himself up on his ellbows so she wouldn't feel his weight. "Rose, just tell me." She avoided his eyes.
"I was alone." She said and then looked at him. "You weren't there. You'd left me alone." He kissed her.
"I will always be with you. I will never leave you. I promise, my beautiful fiancé." She smiled as he used that word. Out of his mouth it sounded like an oath. More beautiful than any other world; even more beautiful than when he yelled her name in pleasure. He rolled over dragging her on his chest. He hugged her tight and began to hum... or sing. She could make out words but didn't understand what he was singing. She drifted off again. He watched her the rest of the night. Not moving from her side in case she'd wake up again.
When she opened her eyes again she had to blink. Then she smiled as she discovered that she was still lying on the Doctor's chest. She rolled over to look at his face. She was lost in thought staring up at the ceiling. She loved that look on his face. Peaceful and happy. He had the same expression when he was flying the TARDIS. Maybe he was thinking about his home. He always looked so sad when he talked about his kind. After all those years it still hurt him every day. Lost in her own thoughts she brushed a strand of his hair out of his face. He looked at her.
"Hello, love." he said and smiled.
"Good morning... is it still morning?" she asked.
"Well, depends on how you define morning... it's 1:04 pm." Her eyes widened.
"Really?! Blimey... we should get up." she said but his arms around her waist stopped her. He grinned.
"Or..." he kissed her, his tongue running over her bottom lip. She giggled but pushed him away.
"No...not now." He pouted but released her. She got up - now sitting on his hips. His hands moved up her thighs to her waist. "Doctor..." she said warnignly.
"You're just too beautiful." He grinned as his hand moved to her bum and he squeezed.
"No, really..." her protest was slowly fading as he arched his hips up. His hard length against her soft skin. She grinned and moved down. She took him into his mouth. He moaned as her tongue licked his tip. Her lips slowly inched up. He was growing even harder. Her hands went up his thighs as she moved up and down along his length. He growled and arched her hips into her mouth forcing her to swallow another inch. She looked up. He was nearly there.
"God..." he cried out as she got even faster. "Don't stop!" He grunted and came. She swallowed around him, licking along his length one final time as she sat up again.
"You'll get more of that later." she promised and stood up. His head tilted back into the cusions. Blimey, she was controlling him like some horny, human teenager. Well, he was at least horny. He sighed and got up following her into the bathroom.
They left the TARDIS about half an hour later. He seized her left hand entwinging his fingers with hers.
"How did you tell our mother?" he asked.
"She already knew." He laughed.
"I know..." she stopped walking.
"What?" she exclaimed.
"Yeah we kind of talked about how I should ask you." He grinned.
"You WHAT?!" she looked shocked. He stepped closer.
"The one day when she interrupted us... she told me she knew and that I mustn't hurt you." He stroke her cheek with his free hand.
"Let's go..." she said.
Minutes later they knocked on the door of Jackie's flat. The door opened and Jackie slapped the Doctor.
"Ouch! What was that for?!" he shouted.
"You worried my little girl!" Jackie explained.
"You were the one who said she'd surely say yes!" He exclaimed and hugged Jackie. Then Jackie hugged Rose.
"Now let me see that diamond ring!" she said. Rose let go off his hand giving hers to Jackie.
"Actually, it's not a diamond..." he said and Rose and Jackie looked not knowing what to think. He surpressed a chuckle and contiued "It's much more valuable. It's a white point star. I found it on a bazaar on the rings of Akhaten. They pay with objects precious to you because of memories. Apparently once a time lord paid with this ring - a desperate time lord because that's not just a wedding ring. That's the royal wedding ring - and they passed it on not knowing its value. The metal is compressed dust from the last Gallifreyan moon. The first one to be destroyed in the Time War. This ring is the only part of that moon left. White point stars are rare... they had been even before the Time War-"
"So you literally got me the moon and the stars?" she interrupted his speech. He laughed.
"You could put it like that..." she smiled and grabbed his lapels pulling him down to kiss him. Her tongue ran over his bottom lip. His hands flew to her waist pulling her closer. Jackie coughed to remind them of her presence. He blushed and let go off her grabbing her hand again.
"How about a nice cup of tea?" Jackie suggested and stepped aside to let them enter.
They sat in Jackie's living room for the rest of the day - talking about why they didn't tell Jackie, when Jackie found it out and what had happened in the past 18 days.
"Rose? Was it really that bad?" He asked as they laid in her bed together. He thought about what Jackie had said how Rose was only sitting on the sofa either lost in thought or crying.
"It's not your fault." Rose said. "You didn't do anything wrong... I was the one who wasn't sure."
"But I could've explained..." he started
"I could've asked." She interrupted him "How should you have known what I worried about?" She ran a hand over his arm down to his hand and entangled their fingers.
"But I could've..." he searched his mind for a possibilty.
"Exactly, you can't even think of anything. You did nothing wrong... I just wasn't quite ready. Now stop blaming yourself. I'm ready now; I love you; I'm fine, more than fine. Everything's perfect." She smiled. He wrapped his free arm around her shoulders. He remained silent just staring at the ceiling.
The next morning Rose was woken by the Doctor. He sat on her bed.
"Rose...don't worry... but your mother tripped..." She bolted up. "She said I should wake you. I'm going to get her to the hospital... I think her ankle's broken."
They arrived at the hospital five minutes later. They were at the Royal Hope Hospital. The Doctor talked to a nurse at the reception while Rose waited with Jackie. He came back.
"You're going to be examined in a room... but it's going to take a while." They left - the Doctor half carrying Jackie - to go to the examine room. He noticed there was an unusual high voltage... he got a little electric shock when he opened to room. Just like when you walk over a carpet in socks. But there was something else bothering him...
"Rose, Jackie. I'll be off to search for the restrooms..." He said Rose concerned about her mother didn't really listen and nodded. He left and just as he was walking through a corridor with glas walls he noticed what had bothered him before. This wasn't normal rain... this rain was going up. An H2O scoop.
same story line as Smith and Jones (only that the Doctor is no patient but meets Martha when she's calming down patients - he's impressed by how calm she is)
"Martha, forgive me for this... it could save a thousand lives. Believe me it means nothing" he kisses her and ran away. Rose was standing on the corner of the hallway close enough to see them but she couldn't hear them. She was searching him since they had been scooped onto the moon. She felt the sudden urge to slap that girl but instead followed him. She was trying to push down her anger. They were in danger. There were space rhinos and soon they would run out of oxygen. He was heading for the MRI. She was stopped by some Rhinos who scanned her head - the thing kind of looked like his sonic screwdriver.
"Human. With non-human traces." the Rhino said. "Initiate full scan." Rose looked around confused. Then she saw her. The girl that had kissed her Doctor. The Rhino let go off her cataloguing her as human. She felt her anger rise again but then remembered that the Doctor had been in a hurry... and that couldn't be good.
"Okay what's going on here?" she asked the girl. "And who are you?"
"I'm Dr. Martha Jones... I'm an intern in this hospital and there is a Plasma-whatever disguising as a human and those Rhino-things - I think Judoon - are trying to find it...I think it's in the MRI room." Rose would have laughed if she hadn't been furious. She knew excatly how confusing it was to have your first adventure with the Doctor.
"Then let's hurry up." She said.
The Doctor just fell to the ground as they entered.
"NO!" she screamed. Both she and Martha tried to reach him but the Judoon hold them back. Rose continued fighting. Then she noticed an old woman standing there - and a strange man covered in leather.
Rose didn't notice much of the things going on. She was completly focused on the unconscious Doctor. She only looked up as the Judoon blew up the leather thing and the old woman who turned out to be the searched alien. The Judoon let go off her and she knelt down next to the Doctor.
"Wake up!" she almost shouted. "Come on! You promised! You promised you'd never leave me alone!"
"Move aside..." Martha said trying to push her away. Okay, that was enough. Rose turned tears running down her cheeks.
"move aside?! You know him for like what? half an hour?! And you're telling me to move aside?!" she shouted
"I'm a doctor...now move aside." She knelt down next to him and started to revive him. Rose could only think of one thing to say.
"He's got two hearts..." she said and the fell silent. Matha shook her head. They both began to feel dizzy, when the Doctor woke up.
"She's done something to the scan" Martha whispered and faded. Rose faded soon afterwards.
When Rose woke up she was in his arms. She first cuddled into them but then remembered what was going on.
"Let me go." she said coldly. He looked down
"What?" he asked.
"Oh, you've heard me. Take your hands off me!" she said. He put her down.
"Rose, what..." she didn't let him finish.
"Oh you know exactly what this is about." She crossed her arms. Suddenly Martha turned up. Rose laughed darkly.
"I just wanted to thank you..." The Doctor continued to stare at Rose and just nodded. She rose one eyebrow.
"Just tell me..." he begged. She shook her head.
"You kissed her, Idiot!" She shouted. Martha blushed. The Doctor's mouth formed an 'o'. He ran through his hair. Looking from the furious Rose to the confused Marha.
"I don't have any clue what's going on..." Martha said.
"Noone asked you." Rose hissed. Martha took a step back and looked offended
"Martha. This is Rose, my fiancé" He explained. Martha's jaw dropped. He smiled. Rose cleared her throat.
"I'm still waiting." she said.
"It was a genetic transfer... it was the only thing that came to my mind that could hold back the Judoon." he explained.
"And why should I believe that?" She asked. The Doctor looked hurt.
"I promised, Rose. I promised that I would never love somebody else. It really was nothing!" He brushed her hair off her face. "Just look at your hand. Whenever you doubt me, look at your hand."
"It's a ring. You could give that ring to anybody." She said.
"Rose, I told you where it is from. It's from Gallifrey it's the last white point star and it's probably the most valuable thing in this universe." He grabbed her hand an took the ring and showed her the inside. There were strange signs engraved in the silver metal.
"What's that supposed to be?" She asked. The Doctor smiled.
"It's Gallifreyan. The first circles... that means Rose. The rest are time coordinates. The exact second we met." Now it was her mouth who formend and 'oh' "We met 861 days, 7 hours, 19 minutes and 23 seconds ago. The first time we kissed was 131 days 1 hour, 48 minutes and 5 seconds ago. I remember every single second and I loved them all. Do you understand now that a simple kiss could never change anything I feel for you?" She smiled.
"Maybe...you've not really convinced me." He looked a little surprised. She rolled her eyes "Kiss me already, idiot!" He bend down and kissed her.
Martha who still stood next to them looked away. She felt envy rise inside her chest. How could that be? She only knew him for about an hour and she didn't even know what species he was. Still there was no way of not noticing a clear difference between the two kisses. This was passioate and it felt like invading their privacy only to watch them. She heard them breathe heavily and turned her head back. His mouth was against her ear he was whispering something. She couldn't understand what but judging on Rose's reaction it was only meant for her. Rose's hand entangled with his - even this was different from when he held her hand when they ran form that leather slob thing. She cleared her throat.
"I wanted to thank you." She repeated her words from before. "for saving us all." He smiled.
"That's what I live for." he gave Rose a look that almost screamed 'for that and you.'
"And Rose..." Martha said. She looked up surprised. "I'm sorry, maybe I should've said this earlier but he did tell me that it meant nothing before he kissed me."
