Previous chapter has been fixed. I really appreciate the reviews.
He watched Rose sitting at the table. She had told him she was going to start planning Kiam's second birthday but when he went to enter the kitchen she was just staring at the blank piece of paper on the table. Her elbows were on the table and her head was in her hands. He stood there and stared at her not saying a word. He knew something had been wrong the last couple of days but every time he asked her, she gave him his normal reply of, "I'm fine."
He walked into the kitchen and knelt down next to her, he put his hand on her back and she jumped. "Hey, hey, easy it's only me." he said softly. "Rose, what's wrong."
"I'm fine," She said again and picked up the forgotten pen on the table and started to write. "So we should invite Jack, and Ianto, Sarah Jane," She started listening off people and cut off mid sentence when she noticed he hadn't moved. "I'm fine," she said again and smiled at him weakly.
"Rose."
"I'm fine," She slammed her fist down on the table and then started to weep. "I left my mum, my dad, my brother and my friends for you. I came back from another world where I could have grown old with you and you, you barely even look at me."
He tried to gather her in his arms, but she pulled away and stormed out of the kitchen. He followed out of the room. "Rose," he called after her. "Rose, I'm sorry." She continued until she reached her room and slammed the door behind her. He stood outside the door for the longest time, listening to her weep quietly, trying to decide if he should go in or not.
Finally giving up, he walked to the control room and set the Tardis to go to earth. Landing in Cardiff, he got some things together for Kiam and waited. Sure enough, he heard the key in the lock and looked up to see Jack coming on board.
"Doctor," He said happily.
"Captain."
"Long time no see," Jack said.
"Yeah," he said. "Hey I need you to do me a favor and watch Kiam, just for tonight. I have to make things right."
Relieved that Jack didn't ask questions he watched him leave with Kiam and then flicking the lever sent the Tardis to float into space.
He went to the kitchen and even though the Tardis could have provided it he made dinner. Then he went to Rose's room and knocked on the door. "Yes," she called through the door. He stood there, and then knocked again. He heard her sigh and come to the door and open it. "Yes," she said again, her hair was a mess and her eyes were red from crying.
"Rose Tyler, I believe I am late," he offered her his arm and she took it confused.
"Late for what." she asked him.
"Our date." He led her to the kitchen and pulled out her chair she sat down. "Where's Kiam," she asked.
"He's fine, he is with Jack."
He got them dinner and set her's in front of her. She laughed as she saw the chips and he smiled.
They ate and he stood up and looked at his watch. "We're going to be late for the movie." he grabbed her hand and rushed down the hallway into the living area. He sat down on the couch and pulled her down next to him. "Awe we've missed the beginning, I knew I should have taken the short cut through the control room" he joked and she slapped him playfully.
He only half payed attention to the movie. They had seen it over a dozen times being it was her favorite as the movie went on she curled her legs up on the couch and rested her head on his shoulder. He put his arm around her and held her.
The movie ended and he stood up and offered her his arm again and they walked back to her room. "I had a great night." He says. "Though the movie did run a little long." She smiled. "Was that a smile." he asked and she looked away.
"Rose Tyler," he said taking her chin in his hand. "I..." He stuttered and she looked at him expectantly. "I love you." He finishes and then leans into kiss her.

He woke up in his bed, her body wrapped around his. This time though he could remember everything of the night before. He looked at her, her head resting on his chest, and swore to himself he would do better by her. He was still afraid of the day that she would die and leave him but he needed to learn to live with the fear for her.
-DW-
He sent the Tardis back to Cardiff and waited for Jack to return with Kiam. He smiled as Rose entered the room wearing only his button up shirt. Her hair fixed up on her head in a messy ponytail. He pulled her in his arms and started kissing her.
"I could come back," he hears a voice say behind him and turns to see Jack standing there with Kiam.
"Jack," Rose says and rushes to him happily and wrapped him in a hug. He noticed Jack looking at him over her shoulder. He just nodded at him and Jack smiled.

He loved Museums. He was rushing around, holding Kiam and pulling Rose with him as he looked at the various exhibits.
"Wrong. Wrong. Bit right, mostly wrong. I love museums."
"Yeah, great. Can we go to a planet now?" Rose said.
"Rose, this isn't any old asteroid. It's the Delerium Archive, the final resting place of the headless monks. The biggest museum ever."
"You've got a time machine. What do you need museums for?" She asked him and he ignored her.
"Wrong. Very wrong. Ooo, one of mine. Also one of mine."
"Oh, I see. It's how you keep score." She says with a smile.
He stops as he comes across a square box in a case and sees the lettering carved into it.
"Oh great, an old box." She says even more thrilled than before.
"It's from one of the old starliners. A Home Box." He tells her.
"What's a Home Box?"
"Like a black box on a plane, except it homes. Anything happens to the ship, the Home Box flies home with all the flight data."
"So?"
"The writing, the graffiti. Old High Gallifreyan. The lost language of the Time Lords. There were days, there were many days, these words could burn stars and raise up empires, and topple gods."
"What does it say?"
"Hello, sweetie." He hands her Kiam and then making sure no one is looking sonics the glass and picks up the box. An alarms sounds and he looks at Rose with a childlike grin. "Run" he says happily. He grabs her hand and they run back to the Tardis with the Guards on there heels.
