Chapter two- Coming Home

A few months later

"She wasted years of her life chasing after him because while he was around she never looked at anyone else. I always said to her time and time again, get out. So this is me getting out." Martha said to me then she pulled her phone out of her pocket and tossed it to me, "Keep that 'cause I'm not having you disappear. If that rings; when that rings, you better come running you got it?"

"Got it," I replied watching as she turned and walked to the doors. She walked out and closed the door behind her and I just stood there for about a minute. Then the doors opened back up and she poked her head in.

"Doctor there is some girl out here asking if you're in here she's blonde, says her name's Rose," My head shot up immediately and my hearts skipped a beat I looked to her with my eyes wide in anticipation. "I guess that's my cue to let her past me then, okay see ya."

She walked away leaving the door open and shining blonde hair and light brown eyes walked through the door to the TARDIS. My heart skipped a beat as Rose Tyler paused leaning against the now closed door staring at me in waiting, worry and joy on her face. I begin to look her over, she was wearing a light blue t-shirt that was stretched tightly over her protruding stomach and my jaw dropped. She smiled nervously.

"Hi, Doctor," she said quietly.

"Rose," I breathed, "how are you here, and what is that?" I asked walking toward her and gesturing toward her very pregnant stomach.

"At Torchwood in the other universe, we built this thing, we are calling it the dimension cannon. So I could come back," she paused. "I mean, so we can come back," she corrected herself rubbing her hand on her stomach and smiling. "And this would be your son," she looked at me with an expectant look trying to gauge my reaction.

"M-m-m-my son?" I stammered out placing my hand over hers on her swollen middle. "But how, when I talked to you, you said you weren't; you said that your mum was. How is this possible, we shouldn't even be compatible," I looked at her and saw a hint of what looked like hurt in her eye. "Not that I'm not happy, I'm ecstatic, it's just a lot to take in. How far along are you? More importantly, why would you go through a dimension cannon while pregnant? That was not smart at all it could have hurt him."

"Earth to oncoming babble," she smirked. "Ok so let's see I'll try to answer them in order, yes your son, and how? Doctor do I really need to explain the birds and the bees to you; and I lied I know what I said but I didn't want to worry you cause I wasn't sure I could get back to you. How it's possible, well the doctors at Torchwood suspect it's because I still have time energy inside me from when I looked in the heart of the TARDIS. I'm about seven months along. Last don't worry about the dimension cannon, they did so many tests on it before I was even allowed to go. I'm here though, we're here Doctor, I made it back to you." She smiled at me with her signature tongue in teeth smile and I couldn't help return it with a face splitting grin of my own. I grabbed her around her waist and pulled her as close as I could get her with her large stomach between us and crashed my lips into hers. She brought her arms up and wrapped them around my neck and I turned us and walked us toward the console. We stood on the platform and snogged, really properly snogged for I don't even care how long it could have been days for all I cared when I finally broke away and turned toward the console breathless. I flipped the lever to send us into the vortex and the TARDIS jolted forward, quickly I stepped over and flipped the small switch for the stabilizers. I looked over at my beautiful Rose, my pink and yellow girl and smiled.

"We should go to the medbay and get you checked out, make sure the dimension jump didn't affect the baby." I said reaching for her hand and pulling her towards the hallway.

"I'm sure he's fine Doctor, they checked on him before I was allowed to jump today and everything was perfect. Well what we guess is perfect since none of us really know about Time Lord pregnancies."

"Well there is no harm in making sure your jump didn't hurt him." I said as we turned into the open archway of the medbay. I lead her to a hard examination table and got her sat down before turning and saying, "Full body scan Rose Tyler." Then I got to work grabbing the ultrasound machine and the gel not because I needed to look the scan would tell me everything without me having to do a manual ultrasound; I simply wanted to see my child and hear his heartbeats. I looked at the monitor that was showing the full body scan results, "Well everything looks good your amniotic fluid levels are perfect although you are extremely dehydrated but that's to be expected from a jump like that." I rummaged in the cupboard and grabbed an I.V. bag of saline and hung it from a rolling I.V. stand and left it for the time being. I walked over and grabbed a rolling stool and wheeled it over to her then sat down. "Okay lay back and lift your shirt." I told her.

"Didn't you get everything you needed from the scan?" she asked puzzled as she laid back and lifted her light blue t-shirt.

"Yes, I did but I just want to see my son and hear his hearts beat." I smiled at her as I spread the lubrication gel across her stomach with the wand I then turned toward the screen and hit a button and the sound of my child's double heartbeat came to life in the silent room, I looked at the screen and saw the outline of a small face and hands. Reaching over I froze the image and hit the button to print it out. Tears came to my eyes as I unfroze the image again and moved the wand to look at the rest of my child.

"Doctor are you alright?" I heard Rose ask me from the exam bed. I sniffed and turned my head towards her wiping the tears from my eyes. She had herself propped up on her elbows looking at me with her eyes full of concern.

"Oh yes I'm absolutely alright, I'm brilliant, I'm gonna be a dad again," I said and turned back to the screen, "and I am most definitely having a son." I stared at the image moving about on the screen now.

"Yes the baby is most definitely a boy, he gets that from his father," she said winking at me then giving me a flirty smile.

"Oh Rose Tyler how I have missed you." I got up and wiped the gel from her stomach with a paper towel then pulled the I.V. stand toward us. She gave me a puzzled look, "you're too dehydrated this is the best way to get your fluid level back up, don't worry you can get up and walk around that's why I gave you a rolling one." I said reaching my hand out and cleaning her elbow with an alcohol swab, I grabbed a small plastic package with a butterfly needle inside and opened it I then inserted it into her arm making sure it was in a vein before connecting the saline I.V. to it. "So Rose are you hungry?" I asked looking at her.

"Doctor I'm pregnant, I'm always hungry." I smirked at her and reached for her hand she got up and grabbed the I.V. stand with her other hand and I lead her into the kitchen of the TARDIS. I began fixing us both something to eat as she sat at the table watching me. After about five minutes she finally spoke. "So Doctor on the beach before you disappeared, you started a sentence are you going to tell me how it was going to end." I turned and looked at her.

"Only if you promise me you aren't going to leave me again," I said staring at her like she was going to disappear into thin air.

"I promise Doctor, why else would I have come back if it wasn't for the forever I promised you and you know," she said gesturing toward her stomach at the last part.

"Okay," I said abandoning the tray I had been lining out a bag of frozen chips on and walking over to her. I pulled her from her chair and onto her feet, I wrapped my arms around her and rested my forehead against hers. "Rose Tyler," I said looking into her eyes, "I love you." She turned her face up and pressed her lips against mine for only a few seconds before pulling away.

"I love you too," she said and smiled her signature smile I grinned back at her and turned back to the counter. "So Doctor when would you say I will be full term because the doctors at Torchwood said it was slower that a normal pregnancy, but they could never figure out how long it would be until full term."

"I would say it would be between ten and eleven months a normal Gallifreyan pregnancy lasts about twelve months, but since you're human and how far the baby has developed my best guess is between ten and eleven months." At this she groaned in annoyance.

"So I have to wait four more months for this baby to come out of me?" she asked sounding irritated. I put the tray of chips in the oven and turned to grab a loaf of bread from a cupboard.

"Are you not happy about having a child with me?" I asked turning toward her.

"No Doctor it's not that just, it's been a long seven months," she smiled weakly at me. I turned back putting the sandwiches on a pan on the stove. "So where does that leave us?" she asked suddenly and I brought my brow down into a frown.

"Well what do you mean by that Rose?" I asked after a minute, not turning around and checking to see if the sandwiches were browned yet.

"I mean are we just two people having a baby together or are we more," I nearly dropped the spatula at her thinking we are just two people having a child. I quickly flipped the second sandwich and turned towards her.

"Rose why would you think that I wouldn't want more, you wouldn't be pregnant in the first place if I didn't want more. I thought we already were, we have just been apart for six months." I said crouching in front of her. She lifted her eyes up and looked into mine and gave a soft smile.

"Okay Doctor, you're sure you don't just feel obligated because of this," she ran her hand over her swollen midsection. I planted a chaste kiss on her lips as I stood.

"Did I not just tell you that I love you Rose Tyler?" I said turning back to the stove and grabbing two plates out of the cupboard and putting one sandwich on each plate.

"I guess you did," she replied as I set a sandwich down in front of her. "What is this?" she asked.

"Grilled cheese," I said biting into my own, "there are chips in the oven as well should be done in a couple of minutes."

"You know I couldn't eat chips for the whole second month just the smell of them made me run to the loo," she said around a mouthful of food. "Of course now they're all I crave," she giggled and I smiled at her. The timer rang and I quickly got up and walked to the oven, grabbing an oven mitt and pulling the large tray out and setting it on top of the stove. I turned and grabbed Rose's plate and piled a large amount of chips on it then set it back in front of her. I grabbed my own plate and put the rest on mine then sat back down next to her.

"So how long before you left did you know, because you've been gone six months and your seven months along now?"

"I realized the day that everything happened that I missed my period. I was going to tell you that night that I had missed it, even though I wasn't sure if I was or even if it was possible." I laughed at that.

"Yeah neither of us was really worried about it even being possible, I guess that's a mistake on my part," I put down the chip I had in my hand and reached over and cupped her face. "I'm so glad you're here now. I have missed you too much, it hasn't been the same without you. Rose you brought happiness into my life that I thought I would never have again and when you were gone, when I thought I would never see you again all I felt was darkness and sadness." I looked into her eyes and she leaned in and pressed her lips against mine in a passionate kiss pouring all of the feelings of the past six months into that kiss. I stroked her cheekbone with my thumb and she brought her hands up and tangled her fingers in my hair, I let a moan escape my throat and suddenly our tongues were tangled together. After a few minutes I finally found the strength to pull away from her only giving her one more quick kiss before sitting back in my chair and staring at her.

"You can't just do that to me Doctor, all these hormones are driving me insane." She sighed and I smirked.

"Yes I know," I said with a chuckle and a wink. "So have you talked to him yet?" I asked without thinking.

"What do you mean talked to him?" She asked, her eyebrows coming together in the middle. "I have spoken to him out loud, told him stories so he will know my voice."

"Time Lords are telepathic Rose, you have a mental connection with him. If you concentrate you should be able to feel it like a warm spot in the back of your mind and you can send thoughts to him and if you pay attention you'll be able to feel his response." I said looking at her. Her eyes went wide.

"You're serious?" she asked and I nodded, "okay let me see if I can do it." She closed her eyes in concentration thirty seconds later her eyes snapped open. "Oh my god that's amazing, I can hear him, oh wow," she said and a single tear rolled down her cheek. I reached up and wiped it away with my thumb and smiled at her.

"You can hear him?" she nodded, "what did he say?" I wondered.

"He wants to know who this new voice is, he wanted to know who you were. I told him it was his dad, the man I told him all about and he's so happy. I can feel so much love, it's so incredible." She leaned forward and stroked my cheek, "thank you."
