I am so sorry. Don't come after me.
"If you stay with me, you'll never be a mother." He said desperatly trying to force all the emotions out of his voice. She laid down on the soft bed and sighed. "You still want to stay wit me?" He asked fearing her answer.
"I already told you. I will always love you and I don't want to be without you for a single second, if that means I don't get to be a mother, I'm fine with it. Being with you is more than enough." He smiled and laid down next to her but she felt that his content about her love was not the only thing he felt... he also felt guilty for keepng her from being a mother.
"You don't have to feel guilty..." she began. He looked at her in disbelief.
"I literally killed our baby." He said. "How am I supposed to not feel guilty about that? One more Time Lord doesn't matter? Just another one I killed? just one in a million? Of all things I did, this was the worst. I have never felt so much guilt before."
"I didn't mean it like that... you should feel guilty for that... but shouldn't feel guilty about me deciding that you are more important than having kids... cause that's exactly what you did when you took our child." She said.
They just laid there holding hands and being glad to be together until they both fell asleep, still fully dressed.
63 years later
The Doctor sat at Rose's bedside... he hadn't aged a day. Though his eyes had gotton older. There was less pain in them, less guilt. A single tear ran down his cheek.
"Hey... don't cry" Rose said. Her voice was shaky. They both felt this was the end; the end of her long life. She was 87.
"How can I not cry?" He asked and hand running through her once so golden hair. "You're still so beautiful." he whispered and she smiled.
"Doctor, I love you and I want to thank you for my wonderful life." His hand found hers.
"I once promised your mother... just about a day before I asked you to marry me... that I'd be the last one you'd ever see... and that I would smile, but don't think I can. I don't feel like I'm ever going to smile again. How could I smile at a world without my lovely Rose?" He looked down on their hands. Her skin was wrinkled but still so smooth.
"You have to promise me; you have to promise that you'll be happy again. I don't ask you to forget me or to fall in love again; I just ask you to not be lonely forever; find a new companion... make someone else have a wonderful life."
"I'll never be lonely... I'll be sad; I'll miss you but if I should ever be lonely, I'll remember; I'll wrap myself up in wonderful memories... of you saying that you love me, of you kissing me, of you touching me. I'll rember every second we spent together and I'll be okay." She smiled.
"Do you think you'll fall in love again?" She asked. It felt surreal to ask someone you were married to for over 60 years if he'd love again... another woman. A part of her head revolted against the thaught, wanted him to say no and that he would always just love her but there was also the part that wanted him to be happy and find love again. He smiled at the predicament in her toughts.
"I don't know... I thought I'd never fall in love again when I lost my previous wife... but there's one thing I do know... I'll never love anyone as much as I love you and I will always love you with both my hearts. " He bent down and whispered something into her ear. His name.
And his name was the last word Rose Tyler ever heard. The Doctor's sad smile and a tear on his cheek was the last thing she'd ever see.
In loving memory of Rose Marion Tyler.
Loving and loved wife.
The woman who stropped running to love.
Shall she never be forgotten.
