Disclaimer - I don't own Doctor Who. I only own my OC, Emma Walker.

Emma looked up from her book when there was a knock on her door. Her parents were out, but they didn't usually knock, so she figured they'd forgotten their keys. With a soft sigh, she got up and went to the door. "Dad, did you leave your-" She froze when she saw not her mother or father standing outside, but the Doctor. He smiled, giving her a wave.

"Hello. Can I come in?"

She just stared at him for a moment. "No." Despite her answer, she stepped outside and shut the door behind her. "What are you doing here?" It was at least thirty degrees colder than inside the house and she shivered, wrapping her arms around herself.

"Well, it's been a while." He started to shrug off his jacket, but stopped when she shook her head. He could have sworn her lips nearly twitched into a smile, though. "I've had some time to myself and I gave you some time."

"Yes, you did." She saw a hopeful look on his face and she knew what it meant. He was hoping she forgave him, that she'd travel with him again. She bit her bottom lip. "Doctor, what you did really upset me-"

"I know." He put his hand on her cheek. "I'm so sorry."

"I forgave you about ten minutes after I stepped out of the TARDIS." She leaned into his touch, closing her eyes. "You have to promise that it won't happen again. You can't put children, or anyone for that matter, in danger ever again."

He sighed. "I can't promise that, Emma. It's going to happen no matter what I do. But I promise you, I will never do it purposely again. I'm going to think of every possible option, okay?" A lone snowflake fell into her hair and he brushed it away. "Okay?"

"Okay." She opened her eyes again, only to jump him, wrapping her arms around him and burying her face in his chest. "I've missed you so much." It began to snow around them, but neither of them noticed.

"How long have I been gone? What's the date?" He placed a kiss on the top of her head. "I didn't really aim for a certain one."

"A little over a month." She leaned back to look at him, a small smile on her face. "It's the fourteenth of February."

He blushed and took a step back, clearing his throat. "Valentine's Day. The day of love and chocolate." I love you. "Flowers, too. Did you get any of that?" Tell her, you coward. Tell her that you've loved her for a long time. Just tell her. I love you!

"No." She laughed, giving a shake of her head. Much like him, she was thinking of how she felt about him. He came back on Valentine's Day. Tell him how you feel. You're obviously meant to tell him.

"It's snowing." He looked up. I love you, Emma. I really love you. Emelyne, I'm in love with you. Oh, you idiot! Just say it. "Heavily."

"Yeah, it is." I love you, Doctor.

Please love me, Emma. "Oh, that's it! I love-" He froze at the look on her face. It was confused and expectant. "-tea. I really love tea and it's cold out here. Do you think we could have some before we go back to the TARDIS?" Weakling. "That is, if you're coming with me..."

She forced a grin and slipped her hand into his. You didn't really expect him to love you, did you? "Yes, Doctor, we can have tea before I foolishly travel with you again." With that, she dragged him out of the cold and into her parents' house, both of them thinking those three little words that were easier to feel than to say.

I love you.

A/N - Hmm, I wonder if these two will ever admit it...and happy belated Valentine's Day! At least now that it's over, we can all get really cheap candy ;)
