Chapter five: Rose gardens and medical bays.

Hi just a quick note, this chapters beginning is based on the day of the moon, but cutting out the impossible astronaut river song/melody pond doctors death rubbish, because that's just stupid.

Oh dear. One trip it was supposed to be... one quick adventure and then off for scans. Just one, run-for-your-life fun trip, and then he could figure out what exactly was happening to Rose. But no, nothing ever went The Doctor's way.

He cursed but thanked the TARDIS for landing them in America 1969. At first it was supposed to be a fun adventure, bringing down these creepy silence and finding this child who had been calling the president about a spaceman going to 'eat her'. And yes it had been quite interesting when The Doctor found out that the spacesuit was some kind of life support system, set on turning this child into some sort of weapon of mass destruction. It had malfunctioned, and the child had run away but the silence were hot on her heels. And then Amy shooting the poor kid, thank rassilion she had missed, but The Doctor didn't blame her. She was frightened, they were all frightened.

But this one stupid adventure wasn't just that, three months it had taken. Three months The Doctor had left Rose, Amy and Rory fending for themselves. Rose even jumped off of a building! Sure The Doctor had caught her, but it was too much unnecessary danger for her first adventure back. He wanted to spend those first few months with her. Yes running tests and finding out what the hell was going on, but also getting to know her again. To find out the new things in her life, to experience them being cute together. Surely he deserved that?

Clearly he didn't because they were a long three months. He didn't see her, speak to her, touch her, or even smell her. He wanted to kiss her so badly the whole time, but no- he was pretending to be a prisoner. Sure as soon as she came into the console room dripping wet the need intensified, but she was dripping wet. And the world needed saving again.

Once they had eradicated the threat of the silence and dropped back to President Nixon's office, the first thing the doctor did was kiss Rose. Lips and tongues and hands collided, and finally he realised why Rory an Amy were always doing it. It was amazing. He hadn't really had much practise in this regeneration. The only time he could recall was when Amy pretty much sexually harassed him on the night before her wedding, but that was different. That was forced, but he seemed to be good at kissing because Rose seemed to enjoy it. With Rose, it was just natural and perfect and everything he had ever wanted in his whole life yet so much more at the same time.

After they broke apart he grabbed her hand, Rory and Amy were off god-knows-where doing god-knows-what- in some other part of the TARDIS, so he had time to show Rose his place. "Where are we going doctor?" she had asked him, batting those gorgeous eyelashes at him.

"To my favourite place in the whole TARDIS" he stated, pulling her down the corridor.

"Your bedroom?" she asked suggestively. Honestly the doctors mind had actually been on other things that doing that with Rose for the first time since they had been separated in America. He blushed and said "okay well my second favourite place"

He finally found the door he was looking for and opened it. Inside was a garden that stretched on for acres and acres. All through the fields, the garden was covered in roses. Pink and red and white and yellow and all sorts of other colours and Rose was shocked.

"It's beautiful" she gasped, with her hand over her mouth

"I made it a few days after our goodbye. Nobody else knows about this room on the TARDIS, this room is mine"

"Oh doctor,"

"I never forgot about you Rose, there wasn't a day when you didn't cross my mind, and I doubt there ever will be."

With that Rose and The Doctor were kissing again. Rose began pulling at the doctors suspenders, pulling them down over his shoulders. "You are aware that we're outside Miss Tyler?" he asked sceptically, but a little bit flirty all the same.

"Well doctor like you said, nobody knows about this room apart from us" she said before displaying that tongue-in-teeth smile that drove him crazy. And without saying anything more The Doctor pulled Rose down into one of the flowerbeds.

A little while later Rose and The Doctor walked into the console room, hand-in-hand beaming. Amy noticed this straight away,

"Where have you two been?" she asked. She saw Rose laugh and the doctor become flushed and shook her head "don't even answer that I don't want to know" she exclaimed. At that point Rory walked in with one of his shit buttons done up wrong "you lot can talk" smirked The Doctor. Amy just rolled her eyes, "come on then, adventure time?"

"Adventure time…" Rory reluctantly agreed

"Most definitely adventure time" smiled Rose

"Well," said The Doctor "I hate to be a party pooper but I much think its infirmary time miss Tyler."

"What?"

"Rose I need to run some tests on you, I got some funny results after bad wolf bay, and I need to check this out. I was planning to do it earlier, just have a quick adventure and then back on the TARDIS, maybe get chips but shenanigans happened, and there was stuff. Ha beautiful word that. Shenanigans." he gazed up at the ceiling. "Anyways, infirmary. Now. Rory, Amy you too."

Rose worriedly followed The Doctor into the infirmary, wondering what could possibly be wrong with her. She felt fine. She sat up on the table, and The Doctor began scanning her with all sorts of devices, and using a 35th century syringe thankfully a time when they had developed them without the needles Rose thought as she felt no pain but saw blood fill the tube as The Doctor took a blood sample. Rory helped him, and Amy stood nearby, watching over.

The Doctor looked at a computer, a confused frown on his face.

"What is it Doctor? Am I okay?" she asked, trying not to be amused that this was beginning to sound like some kind of 1960's hospital sitcom.

"It's, well it's impossible, but you are an impossible woman Rose"

"What do you mean?"

"Your DNA, it's been changing, manipulating. An extra strands been added. It's been doing this since we kissed at bad wolf bay. Rose, you've got a strand of Gallifreyan in you…"

DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNNNNN. OOOO CLIFFHANGER CLIFF-HANGER. I KNOW I KNOW, BURN ME AT THE STAKE, I'M EVIL. SORRY.
