Rose lingered in bed, trying to preserve her dream in her memories. It was such a John thing to do to program dream sequences into the TARDIS. The future had become less predictable with his dulled time senses, so he had always wanted to be prepared for anything.

Eventually, Rose sighed heavily and reluctantly got out of bed. After she was dressed and with her cuppa in hand, she wandered around the flat, removing any photos of the Doctor in leather. If Jason was coming home with her to finish his recuperation, she didn't want to risk him finding the photos.

After she was sure she had collected all the photos, she carried the armload down to the basement, along with the heart of Jason's TARDIS. No better place to hide things than inside the TARDIS, she mused.

The TARDIS hummed a happy welcome to Rose as she approached and walked through the doors. "Hello, gorgeous," Rose greeted. She set the pile of photos down on the jump seat. "Thanks for the tip on Manchester. Want to hear about my trip?"

The TARDIS let out a sound like tinkling chimes and Rose smiled. She placed her hand on the console and sent her memories of the week in Manchester to the ship. The lights dimmed when her story reached the scene at the botanical gardens. Rose ended the replay there and stroked the ship reassuredly. "Don't worry. Jason will be fine. He's recovering and will likely come back here to finish healing." The lights flickered happily. "But remember, we can't go messing with his head until he remembers who he is. As long as he thinks he's a human named Jason Tempest, we have to leave him alone, got it?"

The TARDIS hummed her agreement, albeit with some disappointment.

"I'll do the best I can to help him remember who he is, don't you worry, yeah? I want the Time Lord around just as much as you do." The TARDIS grumbled. "Okay, maybe more than you do," Rose smiled.

Rose picked up the pile of photographs and headed down the corridor, leaving the TARDIS heart on the console. She found her way into the library and placed the photos on an empty shelf in a dark corner. She paused to stare at them one more time before checking her watch and heading out the TARDIS and out of her flat to go see Jason.

Rose could hear Jason's booming voice as soon as she stepped off the lift. It sounded like he was giving someone a hard time. When she entered his room, there was a nurse at his bedside trying to convince Jason to lay down and relax. Neither person had noticed Rose's entry into the room.

"Dr. Tempest, I understand that you want to get up and move around, but you can't go wandering around Torchwood without authorization and an escort," the nurse attempted to explain.

"I don't need an escort; I'm not going to do anythin'."

"It's okay, Joan," Rose spoke up, startling the young nurse and causing Jason to grin widely. "I'll escort Jason around."

Joan nodded in agreement and brought a wheelchair into the room.

"Rose," Jason whined, "I don't need to be pushed around in a wheelchair. I'm not that bad off."

"Just humor them, yeah?" Rose pleaded. "Once we get out of the lift on another floor, then you can get out of the chair and have a walk around. Okay?"

"Fine," Jason agreed begrudgingly.

Jason got out of bed and walked over to the chair, not noticing that his hospital gown was open at the back, giving Rose an unobstructed view of his gorgeous bum. Rose couldn't stifle her giggle fast enough.

"Oi! What's so funny?" Jason asked.

"Well, if you're planning on walking around, might want to at least put on some pants unless you want all of Torchwood admiring that delicious bum."

Jason's ears turned pink, "well, can't have that, can we? Only one Torchwood employee I want ogling my bum."

"Who would that be? Dr. Sullivan?" Rose teased.

"Cheeky minx," Jason replied, as he got out of the chair and dug around the bag Jack had left with some of his clothes. Jason put on pants and a pair of pajama bottoms before getting back into the chair.

Rose and Jason took the lift to the floor with Rose's office on it. As soon as the lift doors closed behind them, Jason grabbed the wheels to stop Rose from pushing the chair any further. He stood up to his full height, stretching his body as if he was a bear emerging from hibernation. Rose parked the chair off to the side and took Jason's hand, leading him down the hall to the offices. Jake was just coming down the hall when he saw the couple approach.

"Well, look who's up and about," Jake said, grinning. "Glad to see you're recovering." Jake held out a hand for Jason to shake.

"Takes more than a bullet to keep me down," Jason smiled.

"Jason was getting a bit restless downstairs, so I offered to take him on a little tour of Torchwood," Rose explained.

"Great idea! Although, stay out of the cafeteria today. It's fishy Friday."

"Fishy Friday? Do they serve fish today?" Jason asked.

"Nobody knows what it is they're serving – that's why it's fishy," Jake laughed.

Rose just shook her head at the pun. "Don't worry, Jason. I can go out and pick us up something later."

Rose and Jason agreed to visit Jake again later, next time Jason needed to escape the medical wing. They stopped at her office briefly before heading back to the lifts. Rose made sure to bring the wheelchair along, mostly in case they ran into any of the medical staff, not because Jason needed it.

They headed to Pete's office next. Ianto made them both a cup of coffee while they visited with Pete. Pete was pleased to see Jason doing so well and thanked him profusely for protecting Rose from Max's bullet. He made Jason promise to come to the mansion for dinner when he was feeling up to it.

After a few more floors, Jason began to feel a bit weak, so Rose ushered him back to his hospital room. He went reluctantly, only after Rose offered to get him a banana milkshake from the diner down the street. After he was settled in his bed, Rose headed to the diner to pick up lunch for them both and an extra-large banana milkshake. They enjoyed their food and chatted about other areas of Torchwood they could explore later. They turned on the telly and snuggled together in the hospital bed to watch an old sci-fi movie. Jason fell asleep not longer after the princess was captured by the evil empire. Rose snuggled closer to Jason, enjoying the rhythmic sounds of his double hearts and calm breathing while she watched the remainder of the movie.

After his nap, Rose took Jason on an abbreviated tour of the labs and guest suites for visiting aliens. Jason had wanted to explore the labs more, but was still a bit tired from the morning tour and stayed obediently in the wheelchair. For dinner, Rose ordered pizza, with enough extra for the night guards at the front desk. Jason tried to convince Rose to go home and sleep again, but she refused, saying that she'd slept long enough the night before and she wanted to stay with Jason and keep him from wandering off. Jason feigned offense at her accusation that he might wander off.
