Hiya guys, umm... I know that I said once a week, but I'm gonna update now as it's far too much of a temptation and I think that I owe you guys an update or two so here we go with Fathe's day

Rose blamed herself, which was why she was now sitting in her room crying. The Doctor was sitting in the control room also blaming himself

Flash back

The Doctor and Rose were in the control room in the Tardis and Rose was telling him about her father "... Could we go and see my dad when he was still alive?" she asked hoping that he would say yes.

"Where's this come from all of a sudden?"

"All right, if we can't, if it goes against the laws of time or something, then never mind, just leave it."

"No, I can do anything." the Doctor said "I'm just more worried about you."

'What did he mean by that?' Rose thought "I want to see him." she said out loud

"Your wish is my command." he said "But, be careful what you wish for."

The Doctor started the Tardis.

--

First of all, he took her to her mum and dad's wedding "I, Peter Akan Tyler, take you, Jacqueline..."

"Just carry on."Jackie said "It's good enough for Lady Di"

The Doctor laughed, Rose looked at her father, "I thought he'd be taller."

--

Rose asked the Doctor to take her back to the day that her father died, so that she could be there to hold his hand. "Novemeber 7th?"

"1987."

--

The Tardis landed on a street corner and Rose and the Doctor stepped out of it. "It's so weird." she said "The day my father died. I thought it'd be all sort of grim and stormy. It's just an ordinary day."

"The past is another country." said the Doctor "1987 is just the Isle of Wight." he looked down at her "You sure about this?"

"Yeah."

--

They went to the place where her father died. "This is it. Jordan Road." Rose said "He was late. He'd been to get a wedding present, a vase. Mum always said 'That stupid vase." a car came around the corner "He got out his car...and crossed the road. Oh, God, this is it." The Doctor took her hand, and she hid her face as the car hit her father.

"Go to him." the Doctor encouraged, hating to see her hurt "Quick."

Rose ran away and the Doctor followed her, they stopped and they sat down against the wall "It's too late now." she said "By the time the ambulance got there, he was dead. He can't die on his own." Rose said, with tears streaming down her face "Can I try again?"

The Doctor knew that he couldn't deny her anything, so he took her back

--

They stood behind their previous selves, to avoid being seen, but Rose decided that she was going to save her father. she saved him and he took them to the flat. The Doctor took the Tardis key from her and left.

--

He went back to the Tardis, but it was only and ordinary sized police box "Rose!" he ran back towards the church.

--

He spotted her at the church and shouted "Rose!" she turned and smiled "Get in the church!" she turned and looked up and saw the most hideous creature she had ever seen appear from nowhere. She screamed, the Doctor pushed her out of harm's way and said "Get in the church!" they watched as two people were eaten by the creatures and then the Doctor shouted "In." he made sure that everyone was inside the chruch and then he shut the doors.

"They can't get in. Old windows and doors. Okay." he said "The older something is the sronger it is. What else?" he paused "Go and check the other doors. Move!"

Jackie ran after him "What's happening? What are they?" she asked "What are they?"

The Doctor turned to face her and said "There's been an accident in time. A wound in time. They're like bacteria, taking advantage."

"What do you mean? Time?" asked Jackie "Wha are you jabbering on about time?"

"Oh, I might have known you'd argue. Jack, I'm sick of you complaining."

"How do you know my name?" Jackie asked "I've never met you in my life."

"You never will unless I sort this out. If you don't mind I've waited a long time to say this, Jackie Tyler, do as I say. Go and check the doors."

"Yes, Sir."

The Doctor grinned "I should have done that ages ago.

--

The Doctor went into the back of the church and checked the windows and found Rose's father "There's smoke coming up from the city." said Pete "But no sirens. I don't think it's just us. I think these things are all over the place. Maybe the whole world." The Doctor watched as the car that was supposed to have killed the man standing next to him appeared and then disappeared.

"Was that a car?"

"It's not important. Don't worry about it.

--

The Doctor was sitting with baby Rose when Rose came back from speaking to her father. "Rose, you're not going to bring about the end of the world, are you? Are you?" he asked, the baby just looked at him. Rose came up beside him "Jackie gave her to me to look after. How times change."

"I'd better be careful, I think I just imprinted myself on Mickey like a mother chicken."

Rose tried to touch the baby "No." said the Doctor "Don't touch the baby, you're both the same person, that's a paradox. We don't want a paradox happening, not with these things outside. Anything new, any disturbance in time, makes them stronger. A paradox might let them in."

"I can't do anything right, can I?

"Since you asked, no. So don't touch the baby." he said, looking for her to fight back.

He wasn't disappointed "I'm not stupid."

"You could have fooled me." he said, then he stopped "Alright... I'm sorry. I wasn't really gonna leave you on your own."

"I know."

"Between you and me, I haven't got a plan. No idea. No way out."

"You'll think of something."

"The entire Earth's been sterilised. This and other places like it, are all that's left of the human race. We might hold out for a while, but nothing can stop those creatures. They'll get through in the end. The walls aren't that old and there's nothing I can do to stop them. There used to be laws stopping this kind of thing from happening. My people would have stopped this. but they're all gone. And now I'm going the same way."

"If I'd realised..."

"Just... tell me you're sorry."

"I am... I'm sorry." the Doctor touched her cheek with his hand and smiled, then he stood up and hugged her. Rose pulled back "Have you got something hot?" she reached into his coat and pulled out the Tardis key, it was red hot and glowing, she dropped it on the floor. "It's the Tardis key". The Doctor removed his leather jacket and used it to hold the key.

--

Pete handed baby Rose to Rose, the Doctor wasn't quick enough to stop him and on of the reapers got in "Everyone, behind me!"

"I'm the oldest thing in here." the reaper, took the Doctor

"Doctor!" Rose screamed as she watched the reaper kill the Doctor, she knew then at that moment how she felt about him and now she could never tell him. The reaper took the Tardis too and the key fell to the floor, stone cold. Rose ran to the front and picked up the key "It's cold. The key's cold." Rose said "Oh, my God, he's dead." Pete tried to comfort her, but she pulled away. "This is all my fault. Both of you. All of you." Pete hugged her "The whole world."

--

Pete went to the window and saw the car that the Doctor had seen earlier that day and he knew what he had to do. He grabbed his jacket and walked back into the church hall and stopped in front of his daughter "The Doctor really cared about you." he told her "He didn't want you to go through it again. Not if there was another way. Now there isn't"

"What are you talking about?"

"The car that should have killed me, love. It's here. The Doctor worked it out way back but he...tried to protect me. Still. He's not in charge anymore. I am."

"But you can't."

"Who am I, love?" he said as he placed his hand on her cheek.

"My daddy."

Jackie came over to them, confusion written on her face "Jackie, look at her. She's ours."

Rose tried to smile at her mum, but failed "Of course." Jackie said as she hugged the grown up version of their baby girl. When she let go she turned to Pete.

"I'm meant to be dead, Jackie. You're gonna get rid of me at last."

"Don't say that."

"For once in your life, trust me." Pete said "It's got to be done. You've got to survive, 'cause you've got to bring up our daughter" he kissed her, then turned to Rose.

"I never read you those bedtime tories, I never took you on those picnics. I was never there for you."

"You would have been." said Rose as she started to cry again

"But I can do this for you. I can be a proper dad to you now"

"But it's not fair."

"I've had all these extra hours. No one else in the world has ever had that. And on top of that, I get to see you. And you're beautiful. How lucky am I, eh? So, come on. Do as your dad says." Rose picked up the vase and handed it to her father "You gonna be there for me, love?" Rose nodded "Thanks for saving me." he hugged her and her mother at the same time then he left the church.

--

The reapers disappeared when Pete was hit by the car and the Doctor appeared beside Rose, he placed a hand on her shoulder, she looked at him "Go to him. Quick." Rose ran from the church to where her father was lying on the road with the man who had hit him standing waiting for the ambulance to come. Rose dropped to the floor beside him and held his hand as he breathed his last. Rose kissed her father's forehead then stood up. The Doctor was standing on the other side of the car waiting for her, she walked round the other side and took his hand and they walked back to the Tardis

End Flash back

And that was how they came to blame themselves. Rose blamed herself for what happened to the Doctor, even though he was down the corridor in the control room, she also blamed herself for her father's death, cause, she'd saved him, and in the end, he'd died to save her. The Doctor blamed himself for the whole thing, if he hadn't taken her back the second time, then it wouldn't have happened.

He decided that now would be as good a time as any to talk to her, so he got up and walked out of the control room and headed to Rose's room.

Once there he knocked on the door he heard a muffled come in and he entered the room to find a pile of blankets on the bed that was obviously Rose. He sat down on the bed and pulled back the covers. "I'm sorry Rose." he said sincerely.

"It was my fault."

"No, it wasn't, you were just being human." he told her "I should never have taken you back that second time. I'm to blame."

Rose looked at him and said "Why don't we agree that we both did something wrong and leave it at that?"

"OK" he said "Rose..."

"What?"

"I need to tell you something..."

"I need to tell you something too." she said

"After the dream I had the other night, I kept wondering why I worry for you so much and I figured it out." he started "The Dalek was right...I love you, Rose."

"I love you too." she said as she reached up to kiss him. When they broke the kiss, she smiled at him and moved over to let him in "Stay with me." she said "I need to have you close, so that I know you're really alive."

The Doctor shrugged off his leather jacket and put it on the chair by her bed and pulled off his shoes and socks and got into her bed and wrapped his arms around her. The two of them fell asleep, for once without nightmares plaguing them.

well, there you go, the next installment might be up tonight, haven't decided yet, but it's 1645 on Thursday 25 th September and I'm in my mum's shop and I was supposed to close 15 minutes ago, so I'd better go now
