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.

So sorry for the delay of the chapter. Hope this makes up for it.

Jack had quickly disappear from the kitchen after he had interrupted Rose and the Doctor. He didn't want the Oncoming Storm after him. As he ran away, Rose's laughter could easily be heard throughout the TARDIS. As the rest of the gang heard it, the sound made everyone smile. It was a sound they were all glad to hear.

After her lunch with the Doctor, he had brought them to the library so she could relax, read books if she wanted and hang out with people as well. He had settled her into what was 'their' couch and made sure she was wrapped up in a gallifreyan blanket.

"Gallifrey?" Rose asked as soon as she realized where it came from.

"Ya, just trying to surround you with things from Gallifrey so when we get there, you will know a bit."

"Thank you, Doctor." Rose was touched by his action. "Do you think you could teach me more?"

"What would you like to know?" He asked as he sat down beside her, resting her legs on his lap.

"Well, maybe, you could start with you?"

"Me?"

"Ya. Start with you and go from there." Rose gave him one of her charming smiles, hoping he would agree with her.

"I'm not that interesting, Rose."

"Please?" Rose asked and placed her hands in a begging motion, trying not to laugh at the same time. "I mean, aren't I your Princess and I'm still sick you know."

"Oh, you want to play that way? I see what you are trying to do."

"I'm not doing anything, except wanting to learn about Gallifrey."

"Like I believe that. Fine, I will start with me." The Doctor told her as he began telling his story.

"What do you think will happen once we get to Gallifrey?" Jackie asked the remaining group as they sat at the kitchen table.

"Except the Doctor being arrested? I have no idea." Jack look around the table, at the unsure faces of the three woman.

"Do you think we are going to be arrested as well?" Donna sat down with her cup of tea.

"I don't think so. I mean, the Doctor made up a plan for us to be around Rose at all time, once he is taken. I know his plans are usually crazy, but they due tend to work."

"Do you think the Doctor will let us know more before getting there?" Martha was sitting beside Jackie and Donna.

"I think so, but right now, he is with Rose teaching her things about Gallifrey, in the library." Jack mentioned to them what he knew about the two missing occupants.

"So that is why it is so quiet right now. Now we know how to shut him up." Jackie piped up and caused the group to laugh.

"If it was only that simple. I think he will be talking with Rose all day."

"Jack, if he is talking to Rose and not pestering me, that is perfectly fine by me." Jackie told the American while grinning at him.

"Well, do you have a point, Ms. Tyler."

While Rose and the Doctor were in the library talking about their home world, Martha, Jackie and Donna had discovered that the TARDIS had a swimming pool which gladly provided them with swim suits. They quickly changed and jumped in in the warm water. The fact that the water was warm made the experience even better.

Jack was oh so happy when he had found out the workout gym. He could spend a few hours in there on any given day without a care in the world. He had found his 'sanctuary' in the TARDIS. Mickey had decided to join Jack in the gym. Ever since he had gotten back on the TARDIS, he had been very quiet.

All the crew were doing their things and gathered together when the need for food became to great. They all met up once more in the kitchen for their meal. Everyone except for Rose and the Doctor.

"I will go see what is keeping them up. I know they are aliens but they still need to eat." Jackie told them as she started walking away from the room. "If Rose gets worst because he forgets to feed her, I will slap him into oblivion." The last comment got the other three member to run after her. Should it happen, they wanted to see this 'slap'.

Needless to say, when they got to the library, what they saw, was not what they were expecting. They were expecting to see the Doctor in a flown blown conversation with Rose either bored out of her mind or completely interested in the conversation. What they actually found was both of them napping on the couch. Apparently during their conversation, Rose had moved from one end of the couch to the Doctor's side and had fallen asleep on his lap.

"Should we wake them up?" Martha whispered to Jackie.

"Not just yet." Jackie pulled out her mobile and took a picture of the sleeping duo. "Now, we can."

"May I have the honours?" Jack grinned as he looked around.

"Do it properly. Rose is still sick." The mother disciplined Jack which wiped off the smirk on his face.

Knowing that Jackie could easily do damage to him and him being immortal, he was still afraid of the woman. He gently woke up Rose by nudging her shoulders, but tickled the Doctor's nose. Rose giggled at the Doctor's situation, but still felt safe in her current position.

Being woken up by the sudden itched, the Doctor was just about to jump and swat at whatever was tickling him, but realized that Rose was still on him. He was thankful that he hadn't jumped at the end of it or she would be on the ground, and if that happen, he would have to deal with Jackie. Personally, he rather face an army of Daleks than an angry Jackie any day.

"Come on, we need to eat." Jackie told everyone and ushered them to the table.

The group had spent the rest of the day lounging around the TARDIS and getting ready for their arrival at Gallifrey. After breakfast, the Doctor had gone over his plan again to the group and had involved Rose in the discussion so she would know what to do.

"Please, Doctor, do we have to do it that way? Do you have to be arrested?"

"Yes, Rose, it had to be this way. I will be arrested one way or another as soon as I step on Gallifrey." The Doctor told her as everyone then whispered words in her ear. As soon as the words were in Rose's ear, she jumped into his arms and hugged him. "Everything will be fine, Rose. Don't worry."

"How long does it take to get to Gallifrey, if we were to leave now?" Donna asked the question that nobody wanted to know.

"It would take a few minutes once the coordinates are set in place."

"I think we should leave first thing in the morning after breakfast." Rose pipped up, making the decision for everyone.

"Rose, are you sure?" Jackie asked her daughter, worried at the sudden decision.

"Yes, Mum. Like the Doctor told us, the medical people there will be able to help me. Once I'm healed and everything is going according to plan, we will get the Doctor out and everyone will go back home, while we continue travelling."

Everyone reflected on Rose's words and knew she was right. They had to go with the Doctor's plan. He had a tendency of making up plans on the fly, but he always came through with them and saved the day. Even with the most craziest of plans. It always worked out in the end. This time, the plan would take a bit longer to be put in play, but it would should work out, just like the rest.

"Ok, tomorrow is going to be a hectic day. Why don't we all go to bed, rise early and have a final breakfast together." Jackie told everyone with motherly instinct. They would need a good night sleep, especially for what tomorrow would convey. Jackie kissed her daughter's forehead good night and left for her room. Donna and Martha followed the only mother on the TARDIS.

Jack pulled up Rose to her feet and pulled her into a hug. He held her fiercely, knowing that she had more courage than he did. He decided that at that moment, he would make sure that he followed the Doctor's plan and protect Rose for all he was worth, and that was a lot, since he couldn't die. He walked out of the room once he let her go. The Doctor and Rose were the only left in the room once Jack had left.

"Thank you for going with this plan, Rose."

"You usually have the most craziest ideas, but they always work so why I should doubt you. I have always trusted you and always will. We will see this plan through like every other thing you have come up with."

The Doctor was rendered somewhat speechless by Rose's tiny message. Her small message touched his hearts in a way that hadn't in a while. Well, technically not that true, since Rose had been changing him bit by bit, for the better, since she had first started travelling with him.

"Thank you, Rose." The Doctor slipped a hand in her hair, cupped the back of her head and brought her lips to his in a small but heartfelt kiss. "You don't know how much it means to me to hear you said that. I promise you I won't let you down."

"Come on, let's go to bed. Like mum said, tomorrow is going to be a crazy day." Rose tugged him up from his seat.

"Where are you taking me? My room is in the other direction." Rose enquired as soon as the Doctor, still holding her hand, lead them in the other direction, towards his bedroom.

"To bed, just like you said."

"My bed is the other way, Doctor."

"After what is going to happen tomorrow, I don't want to let you go." He told her as he brought her to his room, wrapping his arms around her, deciding that he would stay with her, holding her, until the very night morning.

The next morning, breakfast had been a very quiet one. They all ate in silence knowing of everything that was going to happen that morning. No one wanted to say anything, but the silence was become very awkward, so awkward that it starting to drive Donna insane.

"Ok, it's not like no one is going to die. The Doctor is only going to be arrested and once Rose is all better, she will release the Doctor from the cell and bamm, we will be on our way home."

"It might not go that simple, Donna." Jackie pointed it out.

"We just have to be positive and follow the Doctor's plan. It sure sounds crazy, just like he is." A protest could be heard coming from the Doctor. "But they usually work, so it should be alright." While the Doctor was grumbling about Donna's crazy comment, Jack was laughing at him. "Really, Jack? Is it necessary to laugh?"

"Ok, ok, the situation is bad, but look at him. He looks like a child with the way he is pouting." The American pointed it out and everyone was able to see what he was speaking about.

"Well, I'm gonna go get dress and when we are already, we can go to Gallifrey." Rose told everyone, still wrapped up in the Doctor's blue blanket. "I will see you at the console soon." And she was out the door.

"Well, you heard the woman, let's get a move on." Mickey pipped up finally after being so quiet for so long. Everyone got up and went to their room to get ready for their big day.

By the time the group got to the console, the Doctor was already there, moving around it, getting it somewhat ready for the trip to Gallifrey, while Rose was still missing from the room, from everyone.

"Isn't Rose with you?"

"No, Doc, I think she is still in her room." Jack told him as he leaned against on the pillars, arms folded over his chest.

"Ok, I will go get her, then set the coordinates for Gallifrey." He told everyone and then walked out of the console room towards his Princess' room.

The Doctor made the very familiar path to Rose's room only to find out that she wasn't there. He didn't stay there long before making his way to his own room. That is exactly where he found her, in his room, dressed but still wrapped up on his blanket, sitting on his bed.

"Hey there, Princess." The Doctor told the girl as he leaned against the door frame.

"Doctor."

"Are you ok, Rose?"

"I'm still sick, but overall, I'm doing okay for what is about to happen." Without a word, the Doctor walked to his bed and sat down, pulling her to his lap.

"I know I have said so many times and the plan seems insane, but everything is going to be okay. I will make sure that you are safe. I won't let anything happen to you, Rose."

"I know, Doctor, that is why I trust you." Rose told him and hugged him to her, before pulling back and giving him a slow, but passionate kiss. "I love you, Doctor."

"Theta, please. My childhood nickname is Theta. I would love it if you would call me by that name when we are alone."

"I love you, Theta." Rose repeated to him using his nickname.

"I love you too, Rose." He kissed her once more. "Now, how about we go to the console room and put this plan in action?"

"I rather we didn't, but we don't have much of a choice." Rose got off his lap and they made their way to the room.

The TARDIS had shorten the trip from his room to the console and they were there before they knew it. Rose sat down on Captain's chair while the Doctor finally set the coordinates to his home. The home he hadn't seen in such a long time. The ship hesitated in taking the coordinates that would result in her Thief' getting hurt, but took them.

The trip was a bit bumpy, a lot lest crazy than usual, but it took its time. The Doctor had the coordinates for Gallifrey in general and had decided to let the TARDIS land them wherever it thought best. After a few minutes of flight, the ship finally settled and then dinged a couple of times notifying the occupants it was 'parked'.

"I am going to go out first, but I want you guys to do what I asked of you. Everything will be fine. Don't worry too much about me and keep Rose safe." The Doctor told everyone and they, once more, agreed with him. "Princess, I promise I won't let you down. I am here at your service." He bowed before her as a sign of respect. "Anything you need of me." He kissed the back of her hand before standing up.

The moment was ruined when there heard shouting and loud knocking coming from outside the TARDIS.

"It's time." The Doctor made sure the blanket was wrapped around Rose before walking towards the door. "You got the letter and the blanket, Jackie?" To which the woman showed him that she had them on her person.

Once he was satisfied, he opened the door of the TARDIS to the armed officer that were waiting for him.

Well, I hope you like it. I am sorry it took so long. The next chapter should be up soon.
