Questions & Answers

The Doctor had laid there, just listening to Rose breathing as she slept. He had just drifted off, as he felt Rose grip his chest. Obviously she was dreaming. But what about?

Now he was sat at the small dining table, drinking what he was ashamed to admit in public; a very nice Jackie Tyler cup of tea.

Jackie was sat across from him, and he was aware of her constant staring. He broke.

"What is it Jackie?"

Jackie seemed to be oblivious to the Doctors' frustration.

"Nothing" She replied.

"You've been staring at me for the last ten minutes."

Jackie thought for a moment before telling him her thoughts.

"Why did you come back? Its been over ten years, she was just beginning to get her life back on track. After the torment your so called duplicate had caused her!"

Just at that moment Rose had entered the living room, where The Doctor and Jackie were sat. They both looked up at her, neither daring to say anything. After all, they had both learnt over time, not to wind up a sleepy Rose.

"Talking about me?" Rose asked, eyes barely open.

"NO!" They both answered simutaniously.

Rose shook her head and sat down beside The Doctor. Taking his hand in hers. She let her head fall onto his shoulder. Not that he cared, he rather enjoyed the feeling. He alllowed his head to rest on hers.

Jackie looked on, half of her wanted to give in to her anger with the Doctor, whilst her other side couldn't understand why Rose had forgiven him so easily.

Finaly her conscience had got the better of her, and she left the happily united couple to their own devices. Only whilst she absconded to get ready. Then she'd be back!

The Doctor and Rose didn't move from the sofa. Instead, the Doctor wrapped his arms around Rose, moving them both so that they were laid together.

"I've missed you" Rose whispered into his ear.

He smiled softly at her.

"I've missed you more"

They both grinned like two mad hatters.

The Doctor captured her lips in his, pulling her body closer into his.

"Doctor" She asked as she came up for air "Why's it taken ten years?"

The Doctor looked thoughtful for a few minutes. There were so many excuses he could give her, yet he knew honesty is the best policy.

"Well it depends in which manner. If your asking why it's taken ten years to find you. It was an accident, if i knew before i would have come straight away."

Rose stared at him, hoping he would say what she wanted him to. He didn't seem to catch on.

"What 'bout the kiss Doctor?"

This caught the Doctor dumb founded.
