The Doctor stood outside the Rainforest café, him and Sophie had gone their many times together, they loved it when they were young, the whole nostalgia of it.
He stood outside swinging his arms lightly just to keep him distracted, the butterflies in the Doctor's stomach were insane, and what if she didn't show? What if he got it completely wrong? Was she even… amid thought she saw her running toward him, her dark and short height hadn't changed, the doctor laughed he had gotten taller since his last regeneration.
Before they even had time to say hello their arms were around each other, both of their eyes were streaming as they stared at each other. The Doctor stared into her eyes and then down at her lips, she did the same and they laughed hysterically about the inside joke.
When the Master was young in his mid-teens he liked a girl and so the Doctor and Sophie had given him amazing advice that if you look into their eyes and then at their lips it would make people want to kiss each other but when the Master tried to do it on her she laughed at him accidently and since then the joke had been a long running thing.
The day was spent hugging, making little sexual comments about each other, but most importantly discussing Rose and Jack. From what Sophie heard she could kinda tell that Jack and her had a thing but she couldn't be sure until she saw them later that night.
By 6 that evening the four of them were sitting at a table in the TARDIS, Sophie sat opposite the doctor and Rose sat opposite Jack, every now and then Rose would put her hand on the Doctor's knee mostly he would try and ignore but other his chest filled with affection and he held her hand, a stern look from Sophie stopped him touching her over dinner again.
When their plates were cleared the tension kicked in, suddenly there was no food to comment on and silence filled the air completely. It was then that Sophie said, "Anyone in the mood for a film?" No one particularly wanted to watch a film but no one was comfortable enough to say no so the team headed for the living room.
As Rose entered the room she could feel herself almost burst into tears, it had been that sofa where they first did the do and since then life for the pair had gone downhill, Rose was going to explain herself tonight, Jack had been prepping her all day.
The Doctor and Rose sat beside each other on the sofa, they weren't even close to touching. She exchanged a look with Jack and both of them knew it was go time.
"Hey uh Sophie why don't we give them 5 minutes to themselves… I think Rose needs to tell the Doc something," Jack stammered over his words.
"Um… okay?" Sophie said unsurely as she left the room.
The Doctor could practically feel the bad news drop of him like a bomb, he heard Rose get up, and he saw her pace around the news trying to figure out how to tell him she had been sleeping with Jack.
Rose sat down on the coffee table facing the Doctor and took his hands, The Doctor knew her strategy, she was going to guilt trip him, the Doctor was afraid it might actually work. Rose stared him in the eyes, she was pale and her palms were clammy, for a brief second he felt bad for her.
Rose opened her mouth, ready to form the sentence, "Doctor…" she trailed off, the way he was staring at her was off putting but that wasn't a good enough excuse, not really so she dug down deep for something inside her that could make her tell him. About to form the D that would start her sentence she had a flash of what the future could hold based off the way he had been acting, being kicked from the TARDIS, never seeing the Doctor again… she needed to just fucking tell him, "Doctor, I'm pregnant,"
The words were out in the open, the Doctor's hearts stopped and he could only process one thought,
Please be Jack's
He staring at her, he hadn't yet said anything his brain was too muddled and his ears were ringing and his body was sweating and he was pretty sure he was holding her hands so tight they should have broken by now but she kept looking at him, her eyes were so desperate that the look alone was so disarming he wouldn't be able to speak for a few seconds.
His voice box felt clogged but somehow he got out the words, "Is it Jack's?"
Rose looked startled, she smiled and shook her head, "is that what you thought was going on? Oh my God honey no it's yours, I love you, I would never ever cheat on you, Okay? And you just sat for months like you didn't suspect anything oh my god no wonder you've been acting strange," Rose's eyes were brimming with tears as she pulled him into a hug, his arms surrounded her and the suddenly she didn't feel so scared.
The Doctor buried his head into Rose's neck, he did his best to not cry, he couldn't he shouldn't he was going to be a father, right? Wrong. That baby was part time lord, a human couldn't carry, and even if Rose didn't age she was still a human.
'It's not Jack's, shit' The Doctor thought desperately to himself.
The Doctor couldn't keep it in, he began to sob, how could he have been so stupid? Why the fuck didn't he use protection every single time? How the hell could he have done this to her?
