Chapter 4
Reunion
When they appeared in front of the Doctor, Rose and he just stared at each other until Katie collapsed. They rushed to help her and just as they knelt over her she groaned and said. "Way too soon. Not ever doing that again." She started to sit up and the Doctor stopped her. "Just lie still until you have rested for a bit." "I can't we need to go." "Why?" "Because everyone here thinks I am a witch and if we go under the cover of darkness then they might try to … take care of me." The Doctor helped her up at this. "The bigger question is how do we get rose to the TARDIS without people seeing her much?"
"Oh that's simple I'll just go get the TARDIS and then bring it here." Said the Doctor. "Okay hurry Doctor I want to be home already." Rose replied making the Doctor smile at her calling the TARDIS home. He just grinned as he ran off. Rose and Katie sat on the log to wait.
"So are we just taking you home or are you going to travel with us?" Rose asked Katie after a while. "I would love to travel with you but I need to visit home It has been years for me." "I think we can all understand that." They smiled at each other and then waited quietly for the Doctor to show up. After about twenty minutes they heard the sound of the universe.
When the TARDIS was fully materialized they went in and Katie asked, "Where is a room I can crash in for a bit?" The Doctor pointed down a hall way and said, "Two lefts one right another left and third door on your right." "Thanks." The two left in the control room watched her until she disappeared, then turned to look at each other. The Doctor couldn't hold in inside any longer, "I love you Rose Tyler with both my hearts." Then he lowered his head until their lips were almost touching searching her eyes for a sign of whether or not he was accepted, Rose tired of waiting pushed on her tippy toes and made the connection.
When they separated for air the Doctor said "follow me?" "Anywhere." Rose replied her trust completely in her doctor. He led her through the halls and then stopped outside a door to look at Rose, and then he pushed the door open. Inside was a four poster bed with coral struts as the posts. The Doctor shut the door and turned to Rose. She jumped into his arms and their lips met again.
