Hello lovelies! That's right, I'm back, and so soon too! Anyways, this is the last chapter. If you want, I'll write the next story in the rewrite. That story will of course be Voyage of the Damned. Anyways, enjoy!
The Jones family is back home and together. The Doctor watches from outside as he leans against the TARDIS. The Rose sticks her head out of the doorway to watch. Francine looks out at the Doctor before he goes back inside. The TARDIS is back to normal. The canister containing his hand rests on the floor by the console. He reclines on the jump seat and puts his feet up on the console as he waits for Martha. The Rose walks over to him and nudges him until he scoots over before sitting down beside him. She reaches out to clasp his hand.
Martha enters the TARDIS and the Doctor peers around the central column. The Rose looks up when Martha enters and grins at her friend. Her smile fades when she realizes something isn't right with Martha.
"Right then!" The Doctor exclaims, getting up. "Off we go! The open road! There is a burst of starfire right now over the coast of Meta Sigmafolio. Oh, the sky is like oil on water. Fancy a look? Or…back in time. We could…I don't know, Charles II? Henry VIII? I know! What about Agatha Christie? I'd love to meet Agatha Christie! I bet she's brilliant!" He realizes Martha isn't smiling and immediately sobers. "Okay." He tells her, understanding. The Rose gets off of the jump seat and walks over to stand beside him.
"I just can't." Martha says. The Doctor looks down and grasps the Rose's hand.
"Yeah." He mumbles. The Rose moves her thumb across the back of his hand to comfort him.
"Spent all these years training to be a doctor. Now I've got people to look after. They saw half the planet slaughtered and they're devastated. I can't leave them." Martha explains.
"Of course not." The Doctor says. Then he smiles, but it doesn't quite reach his eyes. "Thank you." He hugs her. "Martha Jones, you saved the world." He says before stepping back. The Rose stays back and smiles at them.
"Yes, I did. I spent a lot of time with you thinking I was second best." The Rose cringed when she said that, but knew Martha didn't mean it harshly, not anymore. "But you know what? I am good. You gonna be all right?" Martha asks, still protective of the daft alien.
"Yeah, I've got the Rose. We'll be fine." He says, smiling and holding the Rose's hand.
"Right, then." She hugs the Rose, gives them both a kiss on the cheek, then walks out. She starts off then turns and goes back inside the TARDIS. "'Cause here's the thing. It's like my mate Ashley, she fancied this bloke Austin. But he never looked at her twice. He liked her sure, but he was still hung up on this other girl, Kirsten."
"Is this going anywhere?" The Doctor asked, quite rudely.
"Shut up and let her talk." The Rose scolded. Martha smiled at her.
"Thanks. Anyways, when Kirsten came back, Ashley was devastated. But I told her that she had to move on. Austin was happier, and Ashely couldn't just stay hung up on him forever. I told her to get out. And this is me, getting out." Martha says. She reaches into her pocket and tosses her mobile to the Rose. "Keep that.'Cause I'm not having you disappear. If that rings, when that rings, you better come running. Got it?" Martha asks them. The Rose smiles and nods.
"Got it." The Doctor replies. Martha gives them both a small smile.
"I'll see you again. And you'd better still be together." Martha threatens before walking out of the TARDIS.
The Doctor starts up the TARDIS and the Rose helps him.
"I'm much better at this now that I've bot my memories back. At least I won't be flying us into any black holes this time." The Rose jokes. Once they're in orbit around a small moon the Doctor steps away from the console and wraps his arms around the Rose.
"Rose." He breathes, nuzzling her neck. The Rose smiles and leans into his embrace. She smiles and reaches up a hand to play with his hair.
"Doctor, I love you. No matter what. As Rose Tyler, Bad Wolf, Mala Lupus, Rho Psi, and the Rose. And I always will. You were the first one I saw when I got my memories back, and I want you to be the last person I see before I regenerate. I love you so much, sometimes it hurts." The Rose whispered the her Doctor. She felt him smile against her neck, then he lifted his head and looked her dead in the eyes.
"Rose, I've loved you since I first saw you. When we went to the Schism, I knew that I would never love anyone more. I truly regret that my parents decided to marry me off to my wife. I wish Susan had been our granddaughter and that you and been there when I stole the TARDIS. After Gallifrey burned and I thought you died, I thought I would never love anyone ever again. But then I met this amazing pink and yellow human, and I loved her. It was crazy, I knew we would never grow old, and that she probably couldn't love someone with so much blood on his hands, but she did. And I regenerated and she still loved me. And I lost her, and it felt like loosing you all over again. But you're back, and it turns out that you're the same person, and that's fantastic. Because there are no two people I love more, even though you're the same." The Doctor confessed. The Rose beamed at him.
"Doctor, shut up and kiss me." She told him before bringing him down and crashing their lips together. It was a bit messy at first, but they both soon found their rhythm. They pulled apart, panting and just gazed at each other.
"You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that." The Rose told him softly.
