"We should go move in." John said as they walked out their home.

"I'm not excited about all of the dust that'll be there when we get back."

"Well we both know that I'll probably be the one that'll clean it all up." She nodded in agreement grinning as they walked into their Tardis. "Well, let's go to January then." He pulled a switch and the Tardis lurched forward.

Merely seconds after walking into the Tardis from when it was a sunny summer day, where the birds had been chirping and children had been playing in the street, they walked out into the snow. It was night time and the wind was blowing. She walked out first glancing up at the falling snow. He took his coat off and put it over her noticing her shaking. "Do you know what this reminds me of?" She asked as he walked next to her and grabbed her hand.

"Hmmmm what's that?" He started to swing their hands back and forth unconsciously as she looked back at him.

"It reminds of when you just regenerated and I didn't know if you still wanted me to travel with you and you didn't know if I still wanted to travel with you."

"Yeah, it does remind me of that you're right but we have a better adventure in front of us than New New York."

"We do?" She looked at her husband; she loved him more than anything. He was the person she wanted to stay with forever. If the time lord Doctor had made her choose, to go with him and leave John behind or to stay with John she knew what she would have chosen. She would've chosen John.

"We have our lives in front of us. Our lives together, forever," he ran up the stairs dragging her behind him, "in this house we get to have our family." She smiled at him enormously, at this moment she wasn't sure if she could ever be happier.

"You see this pathway Rose? Our son will learn how to ride his bike on this. And the grass underneath this snow, our daughter will take her first steps on that grass. And this gnome Rose do you see this gnome? Your husband will smash this gnome because he hates it," she laughed as he pulled the door open and picked her up and carried her across the threshold.

He didn't set her down as he continued to walk through the house. "Do you see that window? Our son will break his first window with a ball through that. And Oooooh look at this carpet! Your cat, and I do mean your cat, will pee on that very carpet."

He sat her down softly and then ran up the stairs after grabbing her hand again. "Rose do you see this bedroom?" He said pointing to one of the guest rooms, "our daughter will sleep her first night out of the hospital here, and I'll sit in a chair right here," he walked into the room pointing at a random spot on the ground, "and watch her sleep because I'll be too scared to leave her alone."

He turned around and then ran across it the other guest room that in their other house had been his office. "And in this room Rose we'll read books to our son, books about animals and spaceships and cowboys and aliens oh so many books about spaceships and aliens.

"Oh and down here is whe—" Rose stopped him by putting her hand over his mouth, her smile enormous.

"Doctor, thank you."

"Thank you? For what?" He asked after she moved her hand off of his mouth.

"For this," she said gesturing around her, "for everything, for you," she kissed him softly and then hugged him and decided to not let go.

"Rose Marion Tyler Smith I'm the thankful one." And he bent down and picked her up and carried her from their empty house back to their Tardis.


He walked into the Tardis after saying goodbye to the Ponds. He went to leave so that he could find Clara, but something stopped him. He needed to know how they turned out, if everything would be okay for them.

He ran into the wardrobe grabbing something he could spy on them in. He grabbed a baseball cap, t-shirt, jeans, and a pair of trainers. He stopped for a moment when he chose the trainers chuckling to himself, his past regeneration would've approved of these.

He changed and then ran back into the main room of the Tardis grabbing a jacket before he left. He started to set the coordinates, he hit a switch and pulled a lever and the police box shook.

He opened the door, he was on Ponds street. It had been five years since he had dropped them off. He walked back into the Tardis and flipped a switch making it invisible; his disguise wouldn't be of much use if they saw the police box.

He stepped out and started to walk up the opposite side of the street. He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw their house, barely able to believe who was knocking on their door.
