Doesn't follow the show's story line, so no Doomsday! Jack is with them; also they have met Martha and Donna and they will be around. Gallifrey still exists and the Doctor is not the last of his kind.

"I know what it is. I have seen it all my life. It's Gallifreyan."
"What?" Jack exclaimed as soon as the Doctor revealed the writing. "Are you sure?"
"What is it?" Jackie asked looking at everyone in the room.
"Jackie, do you think you could show me where you 'found' Rose?" The Doctor asked the Mother as he placed the blanket and letter on the night table.
"I could, but I rather not leave her alone."
"I'm on it, Jackie." Martha told everyone as she grabbed her cell phone and walked out of the room.
"What does the letter say?" Mickey finally pipped up. They had almost forgotten about him.
"I rather see the location before reading the letter. It will make more sense to me once I do." The Doctor told Mickey.
"I got someone we all know to come watch Rose for the time being." Martha told every as she came back into the room. "I got someone we trust. I called Donna."
"Donna Noble?" Doctor asked making sure that it was the same Donna.
"Yes, that Donna." Martha confirmed with a smile in which the Doctor smiled his thanks. "She should be here soon. She said she was leaving right away."
As soon as Donna was at the apartment, the rest of the group got into Mickey's car and drove off to the location where Jackie and Pete had found Rose.
"It should around here." Jackie told the group as they stepped out of the car. As she walked the somewhat familiar path, the Doctor and Jack were on her right, while Martha and Mickey were on the left. "I can bring you to the location, but I can't promise you anything will still be there."
"That's fine, Jackie. I just want to see the location. There might be something there." The Doctor told her as he kept looking for anything that would stick out to him. Nothing so far.
"Is it far?" They had been walking for a while when the comment finally pipped up.
"Oh, shut up, Mickey. If you didn't want to come, you could have stayed behind. This is serious. We are looking for something that will help Rose." The Doctor told Mickey with irritation. This is the last thing that he needed right now.
"Sorry." Mickey mumbled his apology to the group.
"It should be around here." Jackie pointed to the area where they had found Rose all those years ago.
The Doctor and Jack had started searching the location that Jackie had pointed them in. They only had to search for a bit before they hit jackpot.
"Hey, Doc. It's here." Jack yelled to his friend. "Man, reminds me of Superman, but with a hot chick."
For once there was no comment to tell Jack to shut up. The Doctor rushed over to Jack and had indeed found the pod that Jackie had mentioned during the trip up. Soon, the rest of the group came to stand behind him and were a bit surprised to see that it was still there after all this time.
They all watch the Doctor slowly stretch out his hand to touch the pod. He recognized it right away. It was indeed from Gallifrey. From all the information he had gotten from Jackie and a bit from Martha, he was starting to believe that Rose was from Gallifrey. Now, he really needed to read that letter; and where had he left it? Right beside Rose back in London.
"Do you got everything you needed, Doctor?"
"Yes, Jackie. I have everything that I need. I just want to read that letter now."
"Let's go back. We have been gone a while. I am sure Donna is bored by now." Jackie told everyone as they made their way back to the car.
On their way home, Martha had called Donna to let her know that they were on their way back. They got the news that Rose was up at the moment, eating, but still had a fever and body aches.
When they stepped in the Tyler home, they found Donna reading a book while Rose slept. Without a word, the Doctor and Donna switched place while the rest when into the living room. Jackie was preparing tea for everyone. They were giving the Doctor time alone to read the letter that was found.
The Doctor hadn't read any letter from Gallifrey in a while. Sure, the TARDIS controls were in Gallifrey but for him, this was different. It could and would revealed the truth about Rose. He wasn't sure if he was ready to find everything out but in order to help Rose, he had no choice. He opened and started reading it.
He knew that life, at the moment, was changing forever. It revealed things that he wasn't aware that had happened during the war when he was still allowed on Gallifrey. She had been sent away for her protection, to protect the line. He was perplexed that no one had came for her. The letter revealed that they would come for her, but nothing had happened yet. She was still on Earth, but at least she was safe.
He knew that he would have to take her to the TARDIS to make sure that Rose was truly from Gallifrey, a blood test would reveal the truth at a hundred percent. Once it showed that she was like him, he would make a plea with the Elders for permission to go back home in order to bring back Rose where she truly belong. If Rose wished it so. The decision that he would have to make could be dire.
"So will anyone tell me what is going?" Donna asked everyone as she wrapped her hands around her cup. "How come Rose is this sick?"
"Well, yesterday, the Doctor went to get Rose and he found her this sick. For once, he was so confused that he didn't know what to do. I mean instead of taking her to the infirmary in the TARDIS, he took her here, to Jackie." Jack told the red-head. "No offence, Jackie."
"None taken. I am quite glad that he brought Rose home. It's horrible that she is sick, but at least, I can take care of my little girl." Jackie gave a small smile to the American.
"Has he mentioned anything about what is wrong with her?" Donna asked again. She wanted to know exactly what is going on.
"We know a few things, but at the moment, I think the Doctor is about to figure everything out. He better figure things out soon, I mean, he wouldn't event let me take her to the hospital." Martha explained a bit of it.
"He wouldn't send her to the hospital? What is wrong with him?"
"Here is where it gets very interesting, Donna. When I checked her over, she had a fever around 107 degrees and at that temperature, one is normally in a coma by that point. Yet, Rose is just sleeping most of the time, but the real shocking part is that she has two heart beats." Martha revealed the earlier discovery to Donna.
"What? Two hear beats? Is she like the Doctor? A Time Lord?"
"We don't know everything, but we know that Rose is adopted and apparently found with items from Gallifrey, so we, I believe, that Rose is from the Doctor's home world." Martha had pretty much taking over the conversation with Donna. The rest seemed to be okay with this. "Rose was found with a letter in a writing that the Doctor recognized as his People's. He is reading it at the moment. He said that he wanted to read that before telling us anything."
"Do you honestly think that he will be able to help her?"
"It's the Doctor. He can do anything."
Everyone was quiet for a few moments before the Doctor stepped out of the Rose's room in the dining room where everyone was sitting at the table. Everyone was quiet for a moment not sure what to do. The look that the Doctor had was a very somber. Donna got up and grabbed him into a hug which he took comfort in.
"I know I said I would tell you everything once I read the letter, but before that, I would like to administer just one more test. I just want to know that I am right before saying anything because if I am, and I am, it will change some lives forever." The Doctor revealed once he was out of Donna's arms.
"What do you need to do, Doctor?" Jackie told him and no one dared go against the mother.
"I need to take Rose to the infirmary in the TARDIS. I have everything that I need to do there."
"Well, Doc, let's go." Jack said with determination which caused the rest to get up, showing their willingness to help him out.
Jack and the Doctor went to Rose's room and got her ready while the rest stayed a bit behind, letting both men do what was needed. The Doctor pulled all the blankets back off Rose and wrapped her up in his Gallifreyan blanket. Knowing that at the moment, he was the only one with the key, Jack would have to carry Rose to the TARDIS. Without a word between the two men, just eye contact, Jack gently picked up Rose and once more, followed the Doctor as he lead him to the TARDIS.
When the group saw the Doctor and Jack carrying Rose stepped out into the hall, they got up and followed them. The Doctor walked out of the apartment with Jack followed him and the rest. Jackie was the last one out of the apartment. Knowing her, she had to lock the apartment up. Even thought the ship was nearby, you could never be too careful.
As soon as the Doctor was in the TARDIS, he and Jack went directly to the infirmary while the rest stayed in the console room.
"Where do you want me to put her?"
"Just on the gurney, Jack. Keep her in the blanket. I can take care of the rest." The Doctor told Jack. It was a polite way of telling him to get lost.
As soon as Jack had left, the Doctor started right away to run his test on Rose. It was a simple blood, it would give him a DNA test result. After grabbing his equipment, he went to Rose and grabbed her hand.
"This won't hurt too much, Rose." The Doctor whispered as he started on collected the blood sample. She was still sleeping and never moved once she was placed on the bed.
As soon as he had it, he went about to one of the many machines he had and went about to get the results. It would be an excruciating hour of work but the machine would do the work for him. Now, all he had to do was wait for the result.
While waiting for the result, he checked on Rose's temperature. While she was in the apartment, her fever was close to 107, but maybe being in the TARDIS, would be help her recover a bit faster. The thermometer beeped a few minutes later and indicated that Rose's fever was 102 degree. It had gone down a whole 5 degrees just by being in his beloved ship. He sat down beside Rose. She had been sleeping more and more now. With the results, he would be able to help Rose. His Rose.
'Wait?! His Rose?' He was surprised at his own thought. This was the first time that he had acknowledged the fact that he wanted Rose. 'Once she is better, I will take her wherever she wants to go and I will tell her.'
While waiting for the results, he kept thinking about everything that could happen if she accepted him. Jackie would slap him into his next regeneration. Rose may be adopted but she was still her daughter. He had been so deep in thoughts that he had not realizes how quickly time had gone by. His thoughts were interrupted when the machine doing Rose's blood analysis started beeping, indicating that it was done.
He looked at it, slowly let go of Rose's hand and walked to the result. Grabbing it, he read it over with great precision. It revealed everything that he already knew. He was right and now it was time to reveal what he already knew to the rest of the waiting group.
Walking over back to Rose, he gently laid a kiss on her cheek as he laid a hot cloth on her forehead. The Doctor walked out of the infirmary and into the console room where everyone was still gathered. He was surprised that they hadn't move to other location but at the same time, he knew the TARDIS had probably prevented them from going any further. He hadn't said a word when he entered the room, but all eyes were on him. They wanted the result as well.
"Jackie, I want you to understand that by Rose in the TARDIS, it is helping with her fever. It has gone down to 102 degrees since we have been on board, so I am going to keep here." Jackie nodded her head in agreement. "Now this is the information that you have all been wanting to know. When Martha checked Rose over, she discovered that she had two heart beats, meaning, obviously, two hearts. Then Jackie showed up the blanket and letter which are both from Gallifrey, and then later on, the pod she and Pete found her in. That as well is from Gallifrey."
"So what you are saying is that Rose is from Gallifrey. Your world." Mickey blurred out of no where which caused Donna to tell him to shut up and be smacked by Jackie on the back of the head.
"Yes, Mickey, what I am saying is that Rose is indeed a Child of Gallifrey. She is a Time Lord." The Doctor confirmed what everybody had been able to figure out on their own.
"Is that what the letter said? That she is a Time Lord?" Jackie asked the man who her daughter had been travelling with for a few years now.
"No. It revealed more." The Doctor explained as he took a seat by the console. "Rose is not just any Time Lord. She comes from a very important family. A family that the people of Gallifrey will protect at all cost. She is a princess."
"A princess? Oh wow. Is she a princess to an important part of your world, Doctor?"
"She isn't just any princess, Jackie. She is my princess. Rose Tyler is Her Royal Highness, Princess of Gallifrey."
