He woke up early and looked in on Rose, before heading to the kitchen. He put the tea kettle on and took it off as it began to whistle not wanting to wake the house. He was on his third cup of tea when Jackie came into the kitchen.

"Morning." He said to her.

"Morning," She replied and poured herself a cup before sitting down at the table across from him and sipping it. "What happened?" She asked him.

"Pardon,"

"I'm not stupid Doctor, it was more then a misunderstanding."

He sighed and took another drink trying to figure out how to word it so that she wouldn't kill him. He really liked the way he looked at the moment and didn't want to regenerate. "Rose and I participated in a festival that didn't go as planned." Jackie's eyes narrowed. "She's fine, I'm fine." He added quickly.

"Is she pregnant."

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no." He answered turning pale.

"Enough no's there," Rose teased him entering the room and stealing his tea, sat down next to her mom. "I think you've had enough."

He smiled weakly at her while everything in him screamed to run. He reached over and took her hand and gently rubbed the back of it with his thumb. He watched as repulsion in her eyes was slowly changed to annoyance. He let go of her hand and she pulled it away and hid it under the table from him.

"What kind of Festival was it?" Jackie asked suddenly.

"You told her," Rose sounded appalled.

"No, and it was a spring festival. They throw it every year to celebrate the planting and to look forward to a good harvest." He explained. Roses eyes narrowed at him at his explanation.

"So you did know about it."

"I had been there before yes, But I didn't take you there on purpose." It was his turn to plead with her. He loved her and understood that the last few days had been very hard on her, but he knew he couldn't keep doing this. Rose stood up and left the room and a few minutes later he heard the shower start. He looked at Jackie before standing up and leaving the apartment.

He headed down the stairs and to the Tardis. He opened the door and let himself on before heading to the console and set the coordinates. He flicked the lever and sent the Tardis off leaving Rose behind. He needed to clear his head and be alone for awhile. He landed the Tardis on Woman's Wept and walked out to stare at the waves frozen in time. He thought about the last time he was here with Rose. They had raced between the waves laughing. He walked over and gently touched one of the sides feeling the cold beneath his hand.

He thought about the young girl from Satellite 5. If she hadn't been killed in the Dalek attack he had planned to bring her with him. Would Rose still have continued to travel with him after he had regenerated if she had been aboard, he wondered. Would he have had the same feelings for Lynda? He shook his head and instead turned his thoughts to Grace.

He had loved Grace too in his own way. He remembered all the things he had wanted to do to her. He pictured the two of them laying on his bed in the Tardis. Her moaning as he moved inside of her and screaming his name. Feeling guilty about his thoughts he quickly headed back to the Tardis. He had come to Woman's wept to try to clear his head and now he was more confused then ever. He land the Tardis back by the Powell Estate. He didn't even have time to head off when the door flew open and Rose stormed on.

"You left me." She said indignantly.

"I just needed to think." He replied. "I wasn't gone that long was I?"

She shook her head. "Only about an hour." She told him. "Did it help?"

"No," He admitted. He walked over to her and cupped her chin gently in his hand. He saw the confusion and fear pass over her eyes as he leaned in close to her and pressed his lips against hers. She tensed up and did't return the kiss. He lifted his head and stepped back.

"Close the door," he said heading back to the console. He sat down on the pilot seat and watched her as she stood frozen for a minute before turning and closing the door. She headed over to the console and stood by him.

"So where are we going." She asked him, her voice shaky.

"Where do you want to go? All of space and time, it's your choice." He stood up and made sure to brush her hand as he moved to the controls.

"I want to see the stars." She said finally.

"I know just the place." He set the coordinates and came over to stand next to her. He made sure their shoulders touched briefly before standing close to her. She stepped casually aside and he waited a moment following making sure to bump their feet as he moved over. She eyed him suspiciously but if she realized what he was doing she wasn't going to call him on it.

He smiled to himself, if she was going to stay he was going to get her trust and affection back. It was only a matter of time.
