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 don't own anything! Everything belongs to BBC!
Anything in Italics is thoughts, unless if it's the first line of the chapter.

Once Donna and Martha had heard that Rose was a Time Lord just like the Doctor, they were happy for him. He would be able to have someone by his side forever. That is if Rose and the Doctor didn't kill each by getting on their nerves. But as soon as they heard that she was the Princess of Gallifrey, their hearts droppped. There was no way that she would be able to travel with him if he returned her to Gallifrey.
They knew exactly what the Doctor would do. He would go back to Gallifrey and bring back their rightful princess. Even if it tore both of his hearts apart, he would always do the right thing. At this point, for everything that he had done for them, they wish that he would just take Rose, get her healthy and run, and not go to Gallifrey.
"I knew she was special, but not this special." Jack said with all smiles.
"Oi, she is my daughter. She is always special, you got that?." Jackie smacked the American on the back of the head.
"Yes, ma'am."
Mickey, oh poor Mickey, he was quiet as anything. He could not believe anything that was happening at the moment. Everything was moving so fast. Learning that Rose was adopted to her being a princess of the annoying Doctor's world. As much as he loved Martha, he still had a small piece for Rose in his heart.
"Look, this is what you need to know, once Rose is awake and a bit better, I have every intension of returning to Gallifrey and bringing Rose back. In order to do this, I am going to need your help."
"Help for what?" Mickey asked intrigued that the Doctor needed help.
"As soon as I step out of the TARDIS and onto Gallifrey, I will be arrested."
"Arrested? What for, Doctor?" Martha asked surprised at the revelation.
"Not over my dead body." The red-headed woman mumbled loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Donna, please don't. This needs to happen in order for them to help, Rose." The Doctor ran a hand through his hair, making it a bigger mess. "In order to finish the war, I had to do something that I am not proud of, something completely illegal on Gallifrey, but I did it anyways. It saved hundreds of thousands of lives, but I still had to suffer the consequences. If I had been anyone else, I would have been executed for doing it, but because I had stopped the war, the Elders bannished me from Gallifrey instead. Never to return unless they deemed it so."
"What did you do, Doctor?" Jackie asked become slightly concern for the man.
"I rather not talk about it and it's better that you don't know about it. But as soon as I step out on Gallifrey, I want you to let them do what they are going to. I need you to stand by Rose and make sure she is taken care of. Jackie, Mickey, I want the two of you to be her 'guards' if you will. Don't let anything happen to her. Jackie, I want you to carry Rose's letter and demand to speak with the Royal Family. Do anything that you can until you do. Martha, Donna, I want you, along with Jackie, to keep close to Rose. I don't want her alone. Do you think you can do that for me?"
"What about you?" Donna asked knowing that everyone else was thinking it.
"Don't worry about me. Worry about Rose. If everything goes according to plan, Rose will rescue me once she is better."
"You have a plan? I think this is the first time you make it as you go." Jack smirked at the Doctor who gave me no response.
Everyone understood what the Doctor was asking and quickly agreed with his plan. It did make a lot of sense. They were going to protect Rose, who, in turn, would protect the Doctor.
"Now, it has been a long day, I will let you guys go to bed. Your room are still there." The Doctor told them as they disbursed to their room. "Jackie, I will show you where you will be staying." Jackie followed him towards a room.
"Is this?" Jackie was unable to finish her sentence when she saw the room.
"Ya, it's Rose's room. I thought that you would like this better. Make you feel closer to home."
"Thank you, Doctor. I don't know what to say." Jackie told him as she gave him a surprised hug. "But where will Rose stay?"
"Your welcome. Now, this is going to sound strange, but if you need anything, just ask for it out loud and the TARDIS will let me know."
"Ok, Doctor. Thank you and good night." Jackie told him as she stepped in the room. It took her a few seconds to realized that the Doctor had never answered her question. When she stepped out again, she couldn't see him anywere. 'Oh, that man. I will deal with him in the morning.'
Once everyone was settled in for the night, the Doctor had gone to the infirmary and saw that she was still sleeping. He knew that she was sleeping soundly, but he made a split decision that could entirely end his life, especially when Jackie found out about it, but he picked Rose gently in his arms and carried her into his own room.
After tucking her in and making sure she was comfortabe, he walked out of the room and into the library that he and Rose enjoyed so much. He wanted to stay in the room so much and be beside Rose, but he didn't want to scare her once she woke up.
"Hey Old Girl, can you let me know when she wakes up?" He asked his home for help. He felt a nudge in the back of his mind letting him now that the TARDIS would help him.
It was very early next morning, everyone was still asleep, but the Doctor, who only needing a minimum amount of sleep, was up and about. Standing at the console, he gently set the TARDIS into the vortex. She needed a bit of energy and this was the best place right now, well except maybe for Cardiff, but he didn't want to risk the chance of something bad happening. The vortex it was.
He had been sitting in the kitchen once they were in the vortex, just thinking about everything that was going to happen. He had been so deep in thought that he hadn't realized that he wasn't alone anymore when Donna placed a cup of tea in front of him.
"Technically, it's 10:45. I'm sure the rest will be here soon." As soon as the words were out of her mouth, his 'crew' was coming in the kitchen looking for breakfast. Everyone except Jack.
"Where is Rose? I can't find her anywhere." He came in a few minutes later in a bit of a panic. He had gone to the infirmary to see Rose, but she wasn't there.
"Um...she is safe. She is still sleeping. I moved...um...into my room last night after you guys went to bed."
"What?!" Jackie screeched at the information, ready to slap the Doctor definitely into a next regeneration.
"Wait, Jackie, before you do anything." The Doctor held his hands in front of him, hoping for a slight form of protection from the almost crazed woman. "The gurneys aren't that comfortable. I moved her there while I spent my night in the library. Beside I have a connection with the TARDIS, she will let me know me when Rose start waking up."
Jackie gave him a croacked look before walking away from him. He was safe for now. He hadn't regenerated and still alive, so the outcome wasn't too bad.
"Jackie, before Rose wakes up and I speak with her, does she know she is adopted?"
"Yes, Doctor, she is aware. I had been badly hurt in a car accident and needed blood. Rose wanted to donate hers but she wasn't a match. I had to tell then why she wasn't. She actually took it well."
"Thank you -" He was interrupted by the nudge in the back of his mind coming from the TARDIS. As per his request, it was letting him know that Rose was in the process of waking up. "I will be back. Rose is waking up. I would like to speak with her first before anything else is said."
"Sure thing, Doc. Just let us know when it's safe." Jack said as he slapped the Doctor on his back.
The Doctor just shock his head at his American friend as he walked away. Sometimes he enjoyed having Jack around, but sometimes, he wished he could just throw him out of the TARDIS. Right now was one of the moment where he wanted to throw him out.
He had been able to make it to his room with a few minutes to spare before Rose fully woke up. He was glad that he had been able to see sleep peacefully. It was about time that things started coming around for her.
"Where am I?"
"You are in my room. I don't believe that the infirmary's gurney is comfortable as this bed."
"Your room? The infirmary? What is going on, Doctor?"
"How about I explain everything to you over lunch? Do you think you can eat?"
"Actually, I am starving."
"Well, allons-y." The Doctor told her with a smile on his face. "Now, let's get you up and into the kitchen." He held her hands as she stood up and wrapped a blanket around her shoulders.
They both made it in the kitchen to see that it was empty of occupants. He was pleased at this. He didn't want to deal with people when he explained everything to Rose.
"What is the last thing you remember, Rose?" The Doctor asked her as he went about to prepare her a light lunch.
"Well, I remember waking up in my room at Mum's place with practically everyone there. I was sick then and still sick now, but I am feeling better than I did before."
"That is great to here. Now, you eat this while I have a few times that I need to explain and update you on." The Doctor told her as he placed a hot soup and tea in front of her. "Well, I am going to rip off the hypothetical band-aid here. I know you are adopted. Jackie told us."
"She is still my mum, you know."
"Yes, yes, I know and I am not questioning that. She told us that you were adopted because while you were sick at home, Martha checked you over and found that…Now, I want you to remain calm, but she found that you had two heart beats."
"Two hearts?" Rose questioned herself, not aware that the Doctor was paying attention to her.
"Yes, Rose, two hearts, and because of that, Jackie told us that you were adopted. I don't know if you know the whole story or not, but she showed us the items that were with you when they found you."
"The whole story?"
"I will assume that you don't know the truth about your adoption." The Doctor was a bit flustered at this revelation. He would need to explain even more now. "Can I show you everything instead?"
"How can you show me?" Rose asked as she finished her meal.
"Let me connect with your mind. It will be easier and you will be able to see everything I saw since you got sick. It won't hurt a bit." He moved from his chair and sat down once more, but this time, beside her.
"Ok, I trust you, Doctor." Rose did trust the man in front of her. She trusted him with her life.
The Doctor smiled at her words and gently placed his fingers on her temple causing her shaking hands to wrap around his wrists. He rested his forehead against her and closed his eyes. Not to bombard Rose with the images, he started sending them slowly to her, to make sure that she understood the images as she received them. He knew that she would see everything.
Rose could not believe that the Doctor was able to enter her mind like that. It felt fantastic. The images were coming and were slowly revealing everything that had happen in the last couple of days to her.
She saw from when the Doctor initially came into her room looking for her all the way to when he brought her to his room for the night and kissed her forehead, and everything in-between. The looking out after her, staying her by her bedside, finding out she was from Gallifrey as well and that she was the princess of that planet, the discussion about him returning to Gallifrey for her sake and that he might be put on trial for returning without approval. Everything that the Doctor had done, he had made sure that she was aware of it.
"Oh, Doctor." Rose whispered as he released the connection from her mind but kept his hands on her head. "Is that you truly believe?"
"I did a blood test, Rose. It didn't lie, you are from Gallifrey and the letter that was found with you clearly states that you the Princess and that you were sent away during the war for protection, but they should have sent for you once I was banished. I don't know what happened there unfortunately."
"If you bring me back, they will hurt you."
"Don't worry about me, Rose. I think that once you are back on Gallifrey, the medical staff will be able to make you better. That is all I want right now." The Doctor told her this as he looked her in the eyes and kissed her forehead. "Let me deal with Gallifrey once we get there. I have a plan and everyone agrees to it."
"Do you think we will be there soon?"
"Right now, we are in the vortex letting the TARDIS get more energy. I just need to set the location for Gallifrey and we will be there shortly."
"Can we wait a bit? I don't want to go right away."
"Ok. Take all the time you need, but don't wait too long."
"Thank you, Doctor." Rose smiled at him and gave him a quick kiss on the lips.
As they looked at each other, he placed a hand on the back of her neck and gently pulled her to him where he kissed again, but this time, with a bit more passion.
"Oh! Don't let me interrupt you." Jack exclaimed as he entered the kitchen. "Actually, never mind let me interrupt you and join in."
"Shut up, Jack." The Doctor growled at the American while Rose giggled. It was good to hear that sound again coming out of the pink and yellow human, er, Time Lord in front of him.
"Doctor, let me enjoy today. Tomorrow, we can...we can go to Gallifrey."
"Don't worry about it Rose. Right now, it's all about you. We need you to get better. Once everything is done, we are going to get back in the TARDIS and we will go anywhere you want."
"Can Jack come too?"
"Yes, Jack can come too, even though I am about to kick him out." More laughter rang out of the kitchen.
I put out this chapter for you guys now cause the rest of my week is going to be busy and won't be able to update until the weekend is practically over. Next chapter, though, they will be heading out to Gallifrey and things will get nasty.
Hope you enjoy it. Don't forget to review! It's better than cookies for me!
