Chapter Three- Mental Connection

(Rose POV)

We were cuddled up together on the large couch in the media room the T.V. was on but we couldn't care less. We had done this so many times before but it had been so long and things were so different now. The Doctor currently had his face buried in my hair and I had my head resting against his chest. The I.V. had finished about an hour ago and I was already feeling much better. I focused on the small warm feeling in the back of my mind, my child, I could feel their love and happiness.

So the new voice he's the one you tell stories about? I heard the thought that wasn't mine in my mind.

Yes he is that's your dad. I sent the thought to the warm spot in my mind.

You said he was lost though.

He was, but we found him and we will never be apart again. I love you baby boy. I felt his mind relaxing and I let out a long, happy sigh.

"What?" the Doctor asked kissing my head. I smile at the feeling I missed so much and thought I would never feel again.

"The baby he was asking me questions, it's so amazing that I can hear him in my mind." I answered looking at him.

"What did he want to know?"

"He asked if you were really his dad the one I told him stories about, he was confused because I told him you were lost. I told him not anymore that we found you and we aren't leaving, ever." I wrapped my arm around him and snuggled closer.

"What about your family Rose, you know if you stay with me you can't see them again I will have to close whatever gaps were made from you crossing between the universes." He looked down at me and I could see the fear that I would choose to go back to my family rather than stay with him and have our own family. I smiled at him.

"We all leave home in the end Doctor and it's my time. We understood you would close the gaps for good once I found you. I already said goodbye to them they know I'm not coming back and I know they aren't coming here. Sure I'll miss them, but Doctor I don't want to do this without you; no I can't do this without you. I want to be here with you and I already promised you forever so here I am." I feel the small sadness at not being able to see my mum again, but I know it's worth it, I get to be with the one man I love, forever.

"Marry me," he says like he meant to think it not say it out loud my eyes go wide and my heart skips a beat.

"What Doctor?" I ask making sure I heard him right.

"I said marry me Rose Tyler, I know it's sudden, but we have been together for over two years. I don't have anyone and now you can't see your family because of me. I know it's not in the right order but we are going to have a family soon," he said placing his hand on my bump. "Please marry me, be mine, forever Rose, I love you."

"I don't want you to feel obligated to do that just because this happened," I said placing my hand over his then looking up into his dark brown eyes.

"I in no way feel obligated Rose, I love you, I want to be with you. You have always made me so happy even though I don't deserve to be. All I want is to be with you and that will never change Rose Tyler." He said a small smile coming to his lips but in his eyes I can see all the sadness and hatred he has towards himself.

"You so deserve to be happy Doctor," I said reaching my hand up and stroking his cheek, "there is one slight problem though." One of his eyebrows quirked at this statement.

"And what would that be Rose?" he asked curiously.

"Well I'm dead back home and also you don't really exist as a legal citizen either." I looked at him waiting for his answer.

"Oh Rose I didn't expect it to be a legal marriage but still a real marriage. There is a ceremony we did on Gallifrey, we called it a binding ceremony. Basically you completely bind yourself to that person forever you can never be with anyone else."

"How exactly does that work not ever being able to be with anyone else; it's just ceremonial."

"It's more than that we will form a telepathic connection once it's formed it can't be undone. We will be able to feel the others emotions, see memories we decide to share with each other, have our own private conversations when other people are around."

"Ok so how is that telepathic connection formed exactly?" I asked and quirked an eyebrow at him.

"It's formed by, um, prolonged physical contact," he replied blushing slightly. "See I can show you an image by doing this," he put his fingers to my temples and an image of me smiling at him, leaning on the TARDIS console came into my mind.

"Oh, wow that's different," I said leaning back. He just smiled at me. "So if we did that it would always be like that even when we aren't touching?"

"Welll," he drawled, "only what you want me to see or I want you to see but we can feel emotions and things. Also if you wander off I'll be able to find you," he smirked at me.

"Ok if you want to and you're sure."

"Brilliant, allonsy Rose," he grabbed my hand and pulled me to my feet and I followed him out of the media room. We were walking for a bit through the halls of the infinite ship until we came to a stop out of the TARDIS library.

"Why are we at the library Doctor?" I asked him raising one eyebrow.

"I just have to get the binding cloth," then he pulled me through the doors and straight to a shelf with different Gallifreyan items he grabbed a small brown box with gold circular Gallifreyan writing on it. He grabbed my hand again and pulled me back out of the library and back down the hallway toward the console room. We stopped outside of a door to a room I was very familiar with when he turned around and looked at me.

"Do you really want to do this Rose?" he asked me looking afraid I might say no.

"Of course I do Doctor, I love you," I smiled and rubbed his arm. "So what all does this include."

"Well there are two parts to it one you would do in front of family and friends and the other that you do in private to form the telepathic connection." I smiled at him.

"Well let's get on with it then." With that he opened the door and pulled me into his bedroom. The familiar dark wood furniture and large bed with a navy duvet never felt more comforting to me. He turned toward me and opened the box revealing a long strip of cloth, it looked like deep red satin with gold circular Gallifreyan writing on it. He reached in and pulled it out of the box.

"Give me your right hand," he said and I reached my right hand toward him he grabbed it in his and wrapped the red cloth around it three times as he started speaking in what I guessed was Gallifreyan; he handed me the other end of the cloth and held out his right hand to me continuing to speak in Gallifreyan as I did the same with the ribbon he did to my hand when I was done I looked up at him and he reached up with his left hand and grabbed my chin with his thumb and index finger then leaned down and kissed me passionately I felt him drop the ribbon and he released my chin and took it out of my hand.

He reached down and grabbed the hem of my blue t-shirt and began pulling it off. He only stopped kissing me long enough to pull the shirt over my head. I reached out and unbuttoned his blue suit jacket and pushed it off his shoulders, it fell to the floor and I grabbed his dark purple tie and undid the knot pulling it off and letting it crumple on the floor at our feet. I reached up and began undoing the buttons of his oxford, he reached around me and unclasped my bra and pulled it down my arms as I reached the last button on his shirt. He tossed it to the side and I grabbed his wrist and undid the buttons on both of his cuffs then pushed it to the floor on top of his jacket. He grabbed my shoulders and began leading me backwards toward the bed, kissing me the whole time his tongue invading my mouth, I kicked my black trainers off as we walked and reached down pushing my jeans off my hips and down my legs letting them drop down around my ankles and stepping out of them. We stopped at the edge of the bed and I reached down and undid the button on his trousers and let them drop to the floor now he was only wearing his pants and I am only in my pair of simple black knickers. He broke away from our kiss and grabbed my hand bringing them up between us he laced our fingers together then held out one end of the ribbon I had no idea he was still holding. Together we tied the ribbon around our clasped hands. He lead me down onto the bed and followed kneeling between my legs and awkwardly leaning over me careful not to crush my round stomach and kissed me sweetly. He broke away and sat up with his free hand he grabbed my knickers and pulled them down my legs then did the same with his boxers. He then leaned back over me and resumed kissing me before bringing his hand up and placing his fingers to my temples I could see his memories and I could feel that he could see mine; both our lives played out for each other as we made love.

I rolled over and rested my head on my now husbands bare chest and looked up to see him smiling down at me I could feel his happiness through our connection in my mind. I smiled back sleepily then said, "I love you husband, goodnight."

"Goodnight my beautiful Rose, I love you too," he replied and kissed my forehead before I drifted off to sleep.
