I just can't leave yo with a cliffhanger like that, that would be so mean

He turned around to face the Daleks.

"Doctor! You will be exterminated!" one of them said. He let go off Rose's hand and stepped forward.

"What are you doing here?! Daleks never had colonies on dust planets like this!" He said.

"We escaped from the war before the time lock was created. We hid from time at the end of the universe" it explained.

"How many are you? And why are you still hiding?" He asked. DOCTOR! Rose screamed in his mind and he spun around just to see her being teleported up to a dalek ship.

"BRING HER BACK, NOW!" He shouted whirling around facing the Daleks. "Please, I'll do anything; just bring her back."

"You will be taken hostage to our leader." The Dalek said.

"I will follow you, if you let her go!" He answered.

"The girl will be exterminated." his hearts sank.

"Why?!" He shouted desperately trying to think of a way to save her.

"We hid but we saw. We watched our brothers and the girl killed our emperor." There was no way of convincing them into letting her go. In their eyes it was just to kill Rose for the things she did after she had looked into the heart of the TARDIS. But how could he save her? What could he do?

"Where is your leader? Is he on the same ship as Rose is now?" He asked. They didn't react. "Tell me!" He shouted.

"You will be taken to our leader." The Doctor and the group of Daleks were teleported onto a ship. He looked around. There were about twenty Daleks. He looked around again. And there she was guarded by two Daleks. She was crying her face buried in her hands not noticing him. He hurried over to her and pressed her to his chest. It's gonna be alright... I'm here.

"What do you want from us?!" He shouted at the leader of the small group.

"You will be exterminated! It will be my honour to exterminate the last Time Lord. I will be the hero of my race!"

"Your race is dead! I killed them; all of them"

"They will be avenged!" The leader screamed.

"Then go ahead! Kill me! I've lived too long; I've seen too much. Kill me!" He shouted. Doctor... she whispered in his mind what are you doing.

"A psycic link?!" the Dalek leader asked.

"Yes. I have bonded my mind with hers a week ago. She is my wife and I will not let you harm her. I'd rather die than see her hurt!" he said.

"A week... it's already been a week?" Rose asked, looking up worried, counting the days.

"Yes, we married eight days ago..." He said. "Why is it so important-" he couldn't speak further.

"So shall we kill you first and you let her suffer the incredible pain of breaking a psycic bond our she dies first and you will first suffer and then we kill you again and again letting you suffer regeneration until you beg to die." the leader said.

"You're mad. You're all mad. You are so disgusted by yourself for running away that you lost your mind... Why do I always meet mad Daleks?! Your consciens is not gonna be cleared by killing me; no matter how many times!" He said.

"Doctor..." that was Rose's voice. He looked down. She was worried but there was something in her emotions he didn't understand.
What is it? He asked.

"We married eight days ago..." she said. She sounded as if that was enough for him to understand what was wrong. He didn't.

"And..." he asked.

"Didn't you notice anything..." she began. He shook his head. "I'm constantly exhausted, I get hungry every time I smell anything that only reminds me of food, I'm dizzy almost every morning... and that time on that yellow planet when I vomited the whole morning..."

"Rose, I still don't understand." he said. She shook her head in disbelief.

"Doctor you're a genius but sometimes...you're just daft. I'm late." she said. "I've never been late before; in my life." She said and the scales fell from his eyes.

The only thing he was able to do before the feelings overwhelmed him was shut his mind from her. He was happy and hopeful maybe it wouldn't be like him but also worried and scared. He was angry with himself that they hadn't been more careful... how many times had he slept with her woithout using any birth control. It was a miracle it hadn't happened before...she wouldn't survive a pregnancy with a Gallifreyan child. He couldn't lose her... he wouldn't survive it... again he put her in fatal danger. He felt a tear roll over his cheek and wiped it away quickly, pulling himself together and remeberring the Daleks around them. He straightened up and took a deep breath.

"In the name of Gallifrey and the Shadow proclamation, I command you: Let us go! Even Daleks have honour and it's against the honour of all warriors to kill a pregnant woman. Now let us go!" he shouted.

"I see. We don't need to kill you! You are capable of destroying yourself!" They teleported them back down on the dusty planet. The Doctor didn't say anything his mind still shut. He grabbed her hand and pulled her into the TARDIS.

"Doctor, what did they mean?" She asked. He ignored her question.

"Don't move" he said every emotion wiped from his voice. He scanned her and waited a few minutes both of them silent until the monitor showed the results. pregnant. Life form: Gallifreyan. He rested his hands on the console and his head tilted forward against the monitor.

"Doctor? What did they mean by-" he interrupted her.

"by me being capable of destroying myself?!" He asked his voice slowly growing louder. "This." He pointed at the monitor. "They scanned you. They saw it was a gallifreyan child. They knew."

"Why would a child destroy you?" He asked.

"It will not destroy me. It will destroy you. There is a reason time lords didn't mate with other species. We can't because no other species would survive a gallifreyan pregnancy. Especially not humans. You would almost lose your mind because of all the hormones your body isn't used to. The child would take away every energy you have. You couldn't even walk. You would nearly die by only getting up" his voice faded away but he swallowed the lump forming in his throat and continued. "You would have to have a c-section and you wouldn't recover from that surgery. It would kill you and I could do nothing about it. " His eyes filled with tears and he leaned his head against the monitor again. Then he felt her hand on his and he looked up. She smiled.

"It'll be okay...you will have a part of me..." he put a finger on her lips.

"Don't. Don't talk like that. Rose, I will do anything to save you from this. I will do anything to get that baby out of you before it kills you." she took a few steps back and placed a hand on her stomach.

"No." she said. "No, you won't. I will have this baby because it's yours. I will not let you do this. I want this baby."

"Rose...please. It's impossible for you to survive it! I couldn't live with myself"

"And you think I could live with myself if I just killed this child, our child? You think I could even look at you, if you take that away from me?" she shouted and left the console room.

"Rose..." she ignored him. He collapsed on the ground his head on his knees.

What should he do? If he let her carry this child she'd die but was her life worth him loosing her love, her faith? Yes. Her life was worth more than this universe. Her life was everything he had. He had to protect it; no matter the cost. He promised Jackie he'd always bring her back save. His head tilted back now leaning against the console. He carefully thought trough what he was about to do and then got up flying the TARDIS to earth - 30th century. The advanced medicine would be abe to perform an abortion on a gallifreyan baby.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Rose shouted coming back to the console room. She must have felt the TARDIS moving. He didn't answer. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" she repeated. He looked at her, tears rolling down his face.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." He said and in one fast movement her hugged her and injected serum into her neck. "I'm going to save you... your life is all I have." He said and she passed out. He carefully let go off her. He couldn't stop the tears from flowing. He knew this would be the last time she was in the TARDIS. She would never forgive him for this but what else should he do? He couldn't let her die... and there was no chance of her surviving this pregnancy.

As they arrived her carried her to a hospital and showed them his psycic paper - god knows what was written there. They put her onto a bed and hurried of into surgery. He followed them and watched the surgery.

After the surgery - which was surprisingly easy - they brought her to waking station but he told them to just heal the stiches and not wake her up. It was amazng how advanced their medicine was. He was sure she'd be fascinated. He stiches healed in minutes. He brought her back to the TARDIS and flew them to the Powell Estate. Again he was crying. How should he tell Jackie about that?

"I'm so sorry." He whispered and then carried her up the staircase. Jackie was shocked as she opened the door.

"What happened?!" she shrieked.

"She's just sleeping... she'll be alright but she probably doesn't want to see me; never again." Jackie looked confused.

"Okay, what have you done?" She asked. "What could be so bad for her to be mad at you for more than five seconds?"

"This is a long story... can I come in?" He asked. Jackie nodded. They sat down on the kitched table after he had put her to sleep in her old bed.

"Okay, we were on many different planets and the last planet we visited was Delta. Far away at the edge of the known universe... and there were Daleks and they threatened to kill us. I said that I wouldn't let her get killed after just one week of marriage. She didn't notice our wedding was already one week ago so she didn't bother that she hadn't got her... period." Jackie gasped.

"No..." she said. He nodded.

"But there is more when we were back in the TARDIS... I scanned her and she was right. She was pregnant and the child was gallifreyan... but a gallifreyan pregnancy would kill her... it would kill any human. She wouldn't listen she was willing to die for the sake of my child."

"You promised..." Jackie started.

"I promised to protect her life under any cost and I did. I sedated her and took her to a 30th century hospital..." tears started rolling down his cheeks again "And they performed and abortion... then I cane back here." He buried his face in his hands.

"You protected my child..."

"And I killed mine." He said coldy - his voice still shaken from the tears. "I don't regret saving her; I never would but I did kill my child. I'll leave before she wakes up-" Jackie shook her head.

"Don't... I'm sure you can at least try to talk to her." she said. Right as she said that they heard Rose getting up. He got up. Rose entered the kitchen

"You!" she shouted. "Who do you think you are?!" She grabbed his lapels. But instead of shouting at him she started to sob. "Why did you do that?!" She leaned against his chest her sobs growing more desperate one of her hands moving down to her stomach.

"I'm so sorry... I had to save you live. I couldn't've let you die. I couldn't have watched you die." he said wrapping his arms around her. "the rest of eternity, remember?" He asked resting his chin oh the top of her head. They stood in the kitchen like this for about half an hour her sobs getting quieter until she was just silently crying into his chest. Her hand remaining on her stomach. He thought she'd throw him out the moment she saw him. Suddenly she cleared her throat and stragthened up.

"Go." she said. His hearts sank.

"Rose... please." He began

"Doctor, I love you and I will always love you; don't doubt that. I'm grateful for you saving my life again but I hate how you did it and I just can't look at you right now. It hurts too much... I need time." She said; those words again I need time like when he proposed.

How much? he asked in her mind nnot capable of finding his voice.

"I'll call you." he shook his head slowly.

"Please..." he began.

"I'll call you." she repeated. The tone of her voice making clear that she wouldn't change her mind.

Please send reviews (and don't kill me for hurting them again. I'm sorry!)
