So, without even trying, Rose is fixing mistakes Eleven didn't even know he'd made. And now that Ten and Rose are reunited, anything could happen! Eleven had better hang on, for the memories will start to change drastically from here on out. :)

Again, I do not own Doctor Who.

BOOK I: Fixing the Doctor's Mistake

CHAPTER 7: Wibbly Wobbly, Lovey Dovey Stuff

She was back! Rose had returned to him! He didn't know how but he was just incredibly happy that she was back, and he truly didn't care about the consequences. He didn't think he could be any happier.

Then Jenny woke up, and his hearts were so full of joy that he thought that they'd burst. Suddenly, he had a family again. He tried to remember a time that he had been this happy before, and couldn't think of anything. He had two of the greatest companions he had ever had traveling with him. He also had a beautiful daughter with two hearts who apparently didn't change when she regenerated, but came back to life anyway. Then there was Rose. He had known for awhile that she was not just a companion to him, or at least not in the way that Martha and Donna were. She was in a category all her own. He was in love with her, and it was time that she knew it!

So when his companions offered to show his daughter around the TARDIS, he didn't hesitate, but grabbed Rose and pulled her in for a kiss. She was startled at first, and so didn't respond right away, but she recovered quickly and returned the kiss. It was gentle at first, but it soon deepened into a kiss so heated and passionate that the other three other women would have blushed had they witnessed it. They broke away, breathless, the Doctor having forgotten to engage his respiratory bypass. Thoroughly snogged, they gazed into each other's eyes for a moment.

"Doctor," she breathed.

"Rose," he answered, and dove in for another kiss. When they broke away the second time, he spoke. "I have many questions, but first, there's something I need to say."

"Yes, my Doctor?" She replied, her pink lips, now beautifully swollen.

"I suppose, now's the time for me to say it. Rose Tyler..." His voice trailed off, suddenly unsure if he could say it. She waited patiently.

"I love you!" He finally whispered, finishing that sentence on Bad Wolf Bay.

"Oh, my Doctor," she replied, happily. "I have always loved you!"

He drew her in for another kiss. Explanations, it was decided then, could wait, for the Doctor had one more question to ask her.

"Will you be bonded to me? That is, will you marry me?"

If she thought that she'd been happy before, she had been wrong. This, this is what happiness truly was! "Yes! Oh, yes, yes, yes!" She replied as she pulled him in for yet another passionate kiss.

The new memories, it seemed, were not coming to the Doctor all at once, though what came through were very happy indeed. He had not only confessed his love to Rose, but they were actually engaged! Still, though, he worried. There was still so much that could go wrong.

He was suddenly startled from his thoughts when the TARDIS telephone rang. It was Amy, and she was in a state.

"I'm so mad at you right now!" She cried.

The Doctor sighed. "You've got new memories too?"

"What?! Well, now that you mention it, yeah, I do... But that's not why I called."

"Just spit it out, Amy."

"RORY AND I ARE A WEEK LATE FOR OUR OWN WEDDING!"

What? Oh, of course, the wedding! He had completely forgotten, what with Rose's sudden arrival and all.

"Alright, Amy calm down. We'll get this sorted. Now, what is your family saying? Did you actually miss the wedding, or are they acting like you were there?"

"Well, everyone keeps asking us why we're back from the honeymoon so soon, so I guess we were there."

"There ya go, then. Time machine. Problem solved. I'll pick you two up and drop you off the night before your wedding like it has always been. You get married, go on a fantastic honeymoon, and avoid going places that you and Rory are going now so you don't cross your own time line. Bada Bing, Bada Boom. No wait, that's rubbish, forget I said that."

"Can't you just come and get us now? Neither of us can stand just waiting around for new memories to appear. Can't we still continue to enjoy the present while the past is being rewritten?"

"You have a point," he said, as he hung up the phone and materialized the TARDIS around Rory and Amy who was still clutching her mobile.

"You are unbelievable!" She scolded, rolling her eyes as she hung up her phone. Rory just let out a soft chuckle.

"Come along, Ponds. Ever been to Wales?"

After congratulating the happy couple, Martha went back to work at UNIT. The Doctor than took his remaining companion, daughter, and fiancee on a celebratory trip to the rising twenties, where they got to meet the famous author, Agatha Christe. Of course, because this was the Doctor, the trip was not without it's troubles: though a giant wasp was definitely something new for them.

Rose reveled in being back, and enjoyed every moment; even if she had now developed an unrealistic fear of wasps, bees, hornets, and other bugs that buzz and sting. At least she wasn't alone in that. Donna and Jenny developed the same phobia. But giant, stinging bugs aside, she had had a great time! Though she wondered how much of that had to do with the Doctor introducing her to everyone at the party as his "intended". Donna and Jenny had only been introduced as "the plucky girls who help me do things" ("I'll pluck you!" Donna had retorted). They couldn't introduce Jenny as their daughter without raising more than just a few eyebrows.

It all seemed so surreal. She wasn't just pretending to be engaged to the Doctor as she had done before. They'd even pretended that they were married, if the investigation on hand necessitated it. But this time, their engagement wasn't for show, and that new ring with a TARDIS blue diamond on her left hand was not just a prop. Not only had she found him again after being trapped in that parallel world, but the Doctor told her that he loved her, and then he'd proposed! Then there was the whole Jenny situation: they have a daughter together already. She couldn't really call Jenny a child, though she certainly seemed like one from time to time. Rose found herself struggling not to pinch herself to make sure she wasn't dreaming.

Soon enough, the adventure was over, and Jenny and Donna retired to their beds. But Rose couldn't sleep, not yet. She needed to talk to her fiancee.

"Doctor?" She asked.

"Yes, Sweetheart?" Rose blushed. She still wasn't used to him giving her a pet name, though it was definitely something she wanted to get used to!

"Um, it has occurred to me that I never did tell you how I made it back. And, you really need to know."

"Something wrong?"

"No," she hesitated. "Well, not yet at least."

He waited patiently.

"See, when I used the dimension cannon and first came into this universe, I didn't end up on that planet with the Hath right away. I actually came through at Bad Wolf Bay."

"I knew it!" He exclaimed. "The TARDIS sent an alarm to let me know that something had come through the Void. I went immediately, but there was nothing there but sand and an indentation of..." His eyebrows went up as the realization hit him. "You've met a future version of me, haven't you?"

"Well, I didn't meet him on the beach because I used a teleport to travel to London within seconds of my arrival, but I did meet a future you shortly thereafter, along with some future companions."

"Sorry, but I have to ask, was I..."

"Still rude and not ginger, I'm afraid," she grinned.

"How'd you know..."

"Because one of the first questions you asked me after you regenerated into this you, was whether or not you were ginger!" She teased.

"Fair enough!" He replied.

"Anyway, you told me a few things about my, well our future, really."

"Why would I do that? That's dangerous!"

"Because you saw my running into future you before this you as a chance to change some things, some things that you will regret later."

"Okay. Must've been something major then, if future me is willing to risk a paradox. Either that or he's a bit more reckless than this me."

"I'd be willing to guess that he is more reckless," she laughed, but then she grew serious. "But trust me, it's major. Now I won't tell you what it is, but I assure you that I will do everything I can to prevent this mistake."

"Thank you for looking out for me, then," he sighed. What more could he do at this point? As they continued to talk, he became more and more aware that the paradox had already taken form, and there was nothing he could do about it but hang on for the ride. He just hoped that his future self's world wasn't falling apart in the process.
