Here it is! Rose/Doctor shippers rejoice! (Sorry if the classic Doctors are OOC. I don't know too much about them. I need to fix that.)
Doctor Who isn't mine.
CHAPTER 14
Rose was awakened by a knock on her door. She opened it and was startled to see an older looking gentleman with long white hair and a very dapper looking suit complete with monocle standing there. "May I come in?" he asked.
She was unsure at first, but then she looked into his eyes. They were very young eyes, which was odd to see on a man who appeared so old. Suddenly, she understood. "Come in, Doctor" she said.
"You know who I am then?" he asked, a pleased smile spreading across his lips. His future selves had chosen well. Not only was she beautiful, but she was clever, too.
"Well, I wasn't sure at first, but your question confirms it. You are the first, aren't you?"
He nodded. "And do you know why I am here?"
For this, Rose was at a complete loss, and she told him as much.
"When I was a boy growing up on Gallifrey, I was taught many things about the harsh realities of life. Time lords know these realities better than humans because we live lives over and over again. The one thing that was drilled into my head at an early age was that everything is fleeting. Even love. You might find complete happiness with someone, settle down and live your life with them, only to have something happen, one or both of you regenerate, and the feeling is lost. That is what happened with my wife. She regenerated for the first time before I did. We were very much in love. We were sure that nothing could separate us. But then, like I said, she regenerated. She regenerated into a man, which shocked my systems immensely. To say that we fell out of love after that was an understatement. We tried to be friendly to each other for the sake of our children and grandchildren, but the whole situation was just awkward. Eventually, we just parted ways. I still wonder what would happen if we'd ever meet again..."
Rose smiled gently. She could see that the Doctor's tendency to ramble began early on.
"But that's beside the point. The point is that I have always believed that there was someone out there who would love me no matter what my face, no matter what I've done, no matter how old I was. I devised a sonic signal that I would pass down through all of my lives when I finally met her. That signal has been passed down to me today."
He paused for a minute, allowing that message to sink in. Rose just gazed up at him. "Doctor?"
"Rose Tyler. I know that you had not met this face of mine before now, but there is something that I must know. Some time in my distant future, you have stolen my hearts, and I love you. Is it possible that you love me too?"
Rose reached up and touched his wrinkled face, and ran her fingers through his thick white hair before looking at him lovingly in the eyes. "You're the Doctor. Of course I love you!"
"Then come with me, then." Like a proper gentleman, he escorted her out of the room and into the console room that was empty of everyone except the many faces of the Doctor. Rose gasped in amazement as one by one, each Doctor greeted her.
Two shook her hand eagerly, pumping it up and down so hard she thought her arm might fall off. "I'm looking forward to meeting you, Sweetheart!"
Three enveloped her in a hug which she gladly returned. "For once, I don't need to reverse the polarity, because everything is turning out the way that I want it to."
Four gave her a peck on the cheek, before he blushed. She complimented him on his extraordinary scarf. He thanked her.
Five's hug picked her up off of the ground. It reminded her quite a bit of a hug Ten gave her. She wisely made no comment about the celery on his lapel.
Six just shook her hand politely. Again, she wisely made no comment about his rather colorful appearance but decided to use it is ammo when teasing his older incarnations.
Seven hugged her and kissed her on the forehead.
Eight, being flirtatious, boldly kissed her on the lips. He was a good kisser.
The War Doctor was very hesitant. "Bad Wolf girl. I knew it was you. I knew it all along!" he said hoarsely, his eyes misty with tears. She embraced him, the incarnation of the Doctor who hated himself. He had done many evil things, and as Bad Wolf, she had been witness to them all. Still, she loved him anyway. He was unwilling to let her go.
When she got to Nine, he held out his hand to her, which she gladly grasped like she had so many times before, fingers interlacing between his. He grinned at her. "Rose Tyler. You're fantastic!"
"And so are you! She said, laughing as she wrapped him in a tight hug. She then drew close to him and initiated the kiss. This time, he didn't hesitate to return it.
Then came Ten. He didn't hesitate at all but quickly grabbed her and drew her into a passionate kiss so deep and long that both of them were left gasping for breath. The other Doctors whooped and hollered. They both blushed. "Is there a lot of that in the future?" The War Doctor asked Nine. "I sure hope so." Nine replied, grinning.
She was so glad that Tentoo was in the room. "I told you that you were still fully the Doctor, and this proves it!" She said as he smiled cheekily and also drew her in for a kiss.
Eleven drew her into a hug and kissed her lightly on her forehead. But Rose wasn't having any of that, and kissed him passionately as well.
"How would you like to be with me forever throughout all of time and space?" Twelve asked after she'd kissed him.
"What do you mean?" she asked, looking around the room.
"I can make you into a time lady." One said.
"The time lines wouldn't change. You'd still have met me in Henricks for example. But you'd become a time lady when you become bad wolf."
"Can't do much about Canary Wharf. That's a fixed point in time." Ten said, sadly. "But I know I'll be with you again."
"Yeah, You can go back to time lord me after... Well, after I'm gone." Tentoo said, not wanting to admit that part.
"And after you do, you'll travel with me!" Eleven said, happily.
"And your future selves would continue on with me: even beyond my face" Twelve added.
"The Doctor and Rose Tyler in the TARDIS, the stuff of legends!" Ten proudly proclaimed.
"You won't get a new face, if that is what you're worried about. You're earth born, so you only have one face. You'll age slowly, and each time you regenerate, you'll just return to the age that you are now" Nine added.
"Will it hurt?" Rose asked.
"Probably" fourteen Doctors answered in unison.
"But only for a minute" Tentoo quickly added.
"Ok! Fantastic! " she grinned at Nine. Then she grinned at Ten and Tentoo. "Allons-y!" Then looking at Eleven she hesitantly added, "uh. Geronimo?" She looked at Twelve, confused at what to do for him. He just grinned at her, so she grinned back.
Everyone laughed. They led her to the center of the room where some of the other Doctors had laid a small mattress and a rather comfy looking pillow. "Lie down, close your eyes, and relax."
She did as she was told. Soon she felt fourteen pairs of hands on her and a strange warming sensation as each Doctor gave her the tiny bit of regeneration energy that he had been saving for this very purpose. There was suddenly a sharp pain in her chest, and she cried out, only then realizing that another heart had formed there. "Two hearts! I have two hearts! This is unbelievable!" she shouted. Then she felt like her body was being stretched and pulled apart like taffy. She cried out again, but soon that pain was also gone, and she found herself surrounded by a warm, tingly sensation that made her feel content and happy all over.
"Open your eyes" Ten whispered.
When she did, she gasped. There in front of her, were four versions of herself! One by one, the Doctors vanished except for Nine, Ten, Tentoo, Eleven, and Twelve, along with four other Roses. A Rose for every Doctor.
"Wait until the others learn about this" Eleven remarked to Nine.
"Yeah, they'll never believe it!" Nine replied.
