Three weeks later, out of four people, only two knew The doctor and Rose's secret, "we should tell them" Rose said out loud , laying next the half awake Time Lord on her bed. He mumbled in response, and Rose just rolled herself off the bed. They hadn't done anything, they would just comfort each other most nights and tell each other stories-the doctor mostly told her about his adventures since she couldn't handle the mental impact that her stories had when she told them. Rose guided herself into the bath room and looked herself over in the mirror, her hair was a bit tangled but other than that she looked fine, Rose grabbed a red towel and placed it on the sink counter and hopped into the shower.

When the doctor awoke he could hear the running shower water and where Rose had been on the bed was cold and empty, he remembered her saying something about "we should tell them" but he hadn't really been awake. He rarely slept, but the past couple of weeks had gotten to him, they decided to all take a break the other day and just have a day in the TARDIS, the doctor had simply agreed so he could spend time with Rose. Amy and Rose had been getting along well, and it made the doctor quite happy, because he knew one day-they would have to tell Amy and Rory what was going on. The doctor had tried to stop himself, but how could he? And surely his friends would understand, Rose was so special to him, and he almost let her go again. He pushed himself up on his elbows and looked around the room, the covers were pushed to the end of the bed and his previous regenerations trench coat was hung on the bed post, he heard the click of the bathroom door knob and watched as Rose walked out in just a towel, her hair still damp, and then she disappeared into the walk in closet. He realized the stupid grin on his face and then quickly whipped it off and got up off the bed to fix the covers well Rose changed.

Rose emerged from the closet to be greeted by the doctor and a clean room, she smiled in thanks and wrapped her arms around him "good morning" he spoke as he hugged her back, her hair smelled like strawberries and he didn't want her to let go as the smell drifted away. "Do you want to go somewhere today?" Rose raised an eye brow with a smirk and the doctor nodded his head grabbing her hand and pulling her out of the room down the hall way to the console room, Rose had grabbed the trench coat on the way out. "Where to?" he asked as Rose stood next to him at the console, "you tell me" Rose pushed the decision towards him, the doctor stood up properly, pushing Rose against the console holding her hips firmly, and grinning at her "no you pick" he argued childishly as his face came closer to hers and he could see the gold that swam around in her eyes. Rose giggled and looked into his eyes, the age that filled them was still there, but the green was brighter and happier since she had first met the new him. She closed her eyes as his lips touched her hers, every time he kissed her sparks flew in her mind, she was her and he was him, it was the real them together, holding on to each other. Rose couldn't help giggling between their lips as he lifted her up sitting her on the edge of the console, "God I missed you" he whispered pushing harder to kiss her. He could feel Rose's teeth graze his lips "My wolf" he growled lowly , his hands pushing the side of her shirt up "My doctor" Rose sighed, but the sound of a dish smashing interrupted them and the doctor spun around to find a frozen ginger standing there with her mouth open gaping at when she had just seen and heard.

Rose stared at Amy wide eyed, this was not how she wanted to tell Amy about her and the doctor, Amy stared back and forth between the doctor and Rose and finally closed her mouth choking a bit as she took a breath. "Hello, Amy" the doctor said nervously rubbing the back of his neck, Rose looked down and quickly fixed her attire, and hopped off the side of the console. The three stared at each other until Rose spoke up with a shaky voice "so..." Rose looked down at her feet afraid to make eye contact with anyone, Amy mad a grumbling noise as she cleared her throat "Anything you two wanna tell me?" Amy crossed her arms waiting, the doctor let his head hang low like a child afraid his mother was going to send him to the time out corner. Rose looked up for a split second but Amy managed to catch her and Rose was forced to make eye contact with the red head, Rose let her body sag a bit wishing she could become so small that she would disappear. Amy looked at her waiting for an answer still, and Rose had to do something because this was partially her fault, and her and the doctor both knew he was married.

"We-we...we were going to tell you, not like this obviously-I umm..." Rose trailed off looking at the doctor who was looking around the room trying to act like he wasn't listening. "How long has this been going on" Amy questioned as she furrowed her eye brows creating a crease on her forehead, "three weeks" Rose replied simply. Amy didn't do anything though; she just looked to the doctor "since I told you to talk to her then?" Amy watched the doctor as he pretended to just notice she was talking to him, "oh-umm...yea" he answered, Amy took a deep breath "you understand the consequences of this, don't you?" she looked to the blonde and back at the child like man. Rose nodded her head and the doctor repeated the movement, "You know what you have to do then?" Amy raised an eye brow and the doctor's voice hitched as he spoke "yes..." Amy sighed and turned around "you two-choose a place to go and –don't do anything weird" Amy directed and walked away to her room to fetch Rory.

The two time lords landed the TARDIS on a planet called Arcadia which the doctor recalled Rory had been wanting to visit, Amy and Rory entered the console room a few moments later and Rose could see Amy staring at her, but not really angry just naturally-like she had already known. The group stepped out on the to the planet's surface which was cold and filled with jewels, Rose looked around at the shiny glass like structures that seemed to glow against each other, "this planet is safe right?" Rory was the first to talk, "perfectly safe" The doctor answered him. Amy whispered something to Rory and let go of his hand walking towards Rose whose back was facing her. Rory distracted the doctor and Amy grabbed Rose's hand startling the blonde and pulling her along with her refusing to let go. "I'm sorry" Rose apologized not really sure what for though, "no-you don't have to apologize, I had a feeling this would happen, I know who and what you are to him, I know that you both shared feelings for each other once upon a time, and you still do but Rose-please, please think about what you are getting yourself into, just think about it" Amy paused. "Your my best friend, in even a few weeks I've never met someone like you, your different and special-to all of us, none of us want to lose you-so please think about what you're doing okay?" Amy finished "Okay" Rose assured Amy "I will" and hugged her.

"Your my best friend too" Rose told Amy looking at the ground over her shoulder. The ground began to shake and Rose and Amy pushed back staring at each other "did you feel that?" they both asked at the same time, their eyes still wide we confusion. The ground shook harder and faster and a hole started to crack open underneath them "Run!" Rose yelled but as Rose began to run away Amy started falling just clutching on to the side of the shiny ground "Rose" Amy screamed in fear, Rose turned around and her face became pale immediately Running back to Amy. Rose kneeled down reaching for Amy's hand that was turning pure white as she struggled to hold on, Rose missed as she swiped her arm down and the wall of dirt began to creak, "hold on!" Rose yelled swiping for Amy's hand missing again, tears started to fall down her cheeks "come on" she gritted her teeth talking to herself. Rose laid herself on her stomach and reached her arm down a bit farther "just leave, go get the doctor and Rory out of here!" Amy yelled "are you kidding-don't pull that with me, we have to try and get you out, if anything I'm not leaving you behind. Now you're going to have to use your other hand to grip onto something, can you do that?" Rose directed Amy, sniffling as tears burned her eyes, she couldn't let Amy die.

"Amy said you had something to tell me, and she looked a bit nervous about it so spit it out" Rory blurted out, the doctor stood back, of course she would make him tell Rory, Rose already had to explain to Amy what had been going on. "I umm-me and..." he blew out air as he began to feel nauseous, "what is it" Rory urged him to go on, taping his foot impatiently. He already knew what the doctor was going to say but he wanted to hear it- for real, he had known for the past couple weeks but the anger that was building up inside him made him furious, he trusted this man, and he broke it. "Me and Rose...we umm, we were-are kind of together" The doctor looked down, his face red with embarrassment, "You broke my trust" Rory stated, the doctor looked up his eyes wild if anything Rory probably didn't understand what Rose meant to him and how hard it would be, but the doctor didn't think about that. "You know-Rose is important, she saved me-fixed me, and we had feelings for each other, and it turns out she can still accept me and I still love her! You said you trust me, I know and I tried! But Rory...I will always Love her" The doctor asserted. "Who is this Rose? That you proclaim you love?" A familiar voice spoke from behind the two men, as they both turned around they asked her name unison "River?"

"Come on!" Rose urged Amy to hold on, the ground shaking lightly, "I'm trying!" Amy cried, Rose counted "three-two, one!" she swatted for Amy's hand one more time and their palms came in contact Rose quickly grasped Amy's hand tightly and began to pull her up. "Come on!" Rose grinded her teeth pulling, but the ground started to shake violently causing Amy to gasp and their hands slipped, Rose grabbed on again holding tighter but then she realized they were falling, both of them were falling into the earth. Rose held onto Amy's hand. her palm was sweaty but neither of them let go, Rose reached for Amy's shoulder pulling her close so both of them were huddled together falling to what they thought were their death. Rose gasped as she was caught in a web of arms, Rose looked around, the room was spinning but then she caught a face that she thought she knew, the face was connected to the arms that scooped her of the net of arms and carried her away to a table.

"Jack?" she asked, the face looked down and became clearer "hello Rosie" he grinned, Rose smiled back a bit relieved that there was someone she knew but at the same time confused to why he was on this planet. As he rested her tired body on the cold surface she questioned him "why are you here, s'this your team?" she nodded at the people behind him who were assessing Amy, "no there not my team, Rose who are you with?" Jack questioned back "the newest doctor-I think, he wears a bowtie, and a tweed jacket" Rose described. "Rose you need to listen to me, I'm from 2012 I met that doctor in 2005, he came to me about you and that you were in a parallel world, and you came back I take it he didn't send you away in the end?" Jack whispered so the others couldn't here, Rose looked at him bemused send me away? Since when was he thinking of doing that? "no I guess he didn't and yes after I came back he sent me to the parallel world with the metacrisis but he died for me and somehow I ended up back here-I think by the power of Bad Wolf" Rose explained. "The master" Jack assumed, "how'd you know that" Rose sat up staring at him, "we caught a signal from the parallel world, the walls were breaking again and somehow the parallel master got through, there use to be a Master here but he's gone, and we got a signal again the other day...it was something about the Bad Wolf" Jack looked down playing with his fingers. "Did you come looking for me?" Rose stitched her eyebrows and frowned, "no-we were looking for him-the master, and the last trace of him was from here" Jack assured her, "but Rose, now that your here, we need you-it's up to you...but we could use your help" Jack informed Rose.

Amy was yelling and hitting people on the other side of the room marching through and past them to get to Rose, "Rose" she exhaled as she ran up to her, "Amy- it's okay, this is my friend Jack-are you alright?" Rose asked Amy just to make sure. "I'm fine, nice to meet you I guess, Jack" "hello" Jack greeted Amy. "Don't" Rose commented "your turning into him are you?" Jack raised an eye brow, "she's married" Rose shot back, "I'll leave you to explain things to the red head here then" Jack said and then stood up walking away to go discuss something with the other people, Rose went on explaining to Amy what Jack had told her, but she left out the part about maybe going along with them.

"Hello, sweetie" River spoke up, "care to explain you conversation to me?" River looked between her father and husband, "Rory would" the doctor spoke before Rory could push him forward, Rory rolled his eyes. "The doctor is in love with someone else..." he walked forward towards his daughter showing something like an apologetic and unimpressed look. River's expression didn't change she just stood with a small suppressed grin, the doctor didn't move back or forwards he didn't know what to do or where to go, then his mind thought to Rose and Amy, where had they wandered off to?

River thought to herself, she should've known, he has two hearts of course he had feelings for someone else, she could feel jealousy surge inside of her but she wouldn't let it show, "where's Amy?" River spoke up as she came to the realization that her mother wasn't there."That's what I was thinking" The doctor agreed and started towards a forest of sparkling trees that were made out of crystals. River followed with her father at her side, she could see him glance at her every so often as if he was surprised she didn't have some outburst at what she heard, she didn't acknowledge the fact again either as she was the one who changed the subject and got the doctor out of the situation. The doctor was looking up through the beaded trees, it was dim in the forest and the only light provided was from the gems that shone on the ground, "why are you here River?" the doctor asked but didn't look back at her as he led them through the trees. "I'm with a team, I was chosen to help them" she asserted, "where are-ahhh!" the doctor was in mid sentence as he walked right into the hole that Amy and Rose had fallen in, River looked down at the falling man "down there!" she yelled, she looked at her father "we have to jump" she sated and grabbed his hand. "Wait what?" Rory's eyes went wide as River pulled him with her and then they were falling after the doctor.

"Everyone- net!" Jack called as yelling was heard from the hole that Rose and Amy had fallen through, Amy and Rose got up and helped form the net with their arms awaiting whoever was falling down the hole. Rose noticed the figure as he landed "doctor!" she sighed with relief as someone carried him out of the net of limbs and placed him on the ground, "there's more" he stated as two other people fell into the net of arms "River!" Jack smiled as the curly haired women was carried and put on a table, finally Rory was carried away to another table and Amy quickly ran after him. The doctor stood up and Rose rushed over hugging him "oh thank god your alright" he huffed hugging the blonde, "one second Rose" the doctor pushed her back and walked over to Jack and the curly haired women that Rose recognized for some reason-from the picture she had seen in the doctors room. Rose followed and noticed the women was now eyeing her, "you know each other?" the doctor looked between Jack and River, both of them nodded "about a year-she's a good partner" Jack flashed the doctor a smile, "I assume your Rose?" River looked at Rose forcing a smile "yea, and umm...I guess you're River?" Rose responded and River shook her head. River shook Rose's hand and then whispered in Rose's ear "it's all right, I know –about you two, but I want to talk to you" River stalked away, Rose looked at the doctor nervously but didn't say anything.

Rose followed after River a few minutes later as the doctor and Jack chatted, she found river in a separate hallway that had seven doors, "Look-I know I should've known better, we both should have but-" Rose was stopped "It's fine, I should have known, but what I don't understand is who are you?" "My name is Rose-Rose Tyler, I'm the Bad Wolf, and a time lady, I was born human-and umm...I met the doctor in 2005 I fell in love with him-I got trapped in a parallel world though.

I escaped, helped him but then a metacrisis version of him was created and he sent me away- he thought he was giving me the best chance but he wasn't and the metacrisis died at the hands of the parallel master for me and I was sent to the TARDIS somehow, and have been there for a few weeks. I'm not sure why he didn't tell you about me but I guess you are his wife" Rose looked at her feet, "it would've hurt too much" River replied "pardon?" Rose asked furrowing her eyebrows, "to tell me about you-It would have hurt too much, that's why he didn't" River explained. "Your calm" Rose commented, "why shouldn't I be" River asked, "I dunno just the fact that me and the doctor..." Rose trailed off, "its fine Rose really-I should have known. Your important to him, to have you back is a miracle, it truly is" River gave her a small smile and walked back to the larger room.

Rose had thought about what Jack said earlier and finally decided if she was going to help or not, she made her way through the crowd of people and found Jack "I'll do it" she agreed, Jack gave her a soft smile and squeezed her, "we have to leave in half an hour Rosie" he confirmed and walked away. Rose looked to the doctor who was talking to his wife, she could see shame and nervousness on his face she made her way to Rory and Amy, and greeted Rory who didn't look to friendly, Amy hit him lightly and eyed him. "Thank you" was the first thing Rose said to Amy "you're welcome?" Amy replied confused, "And to you Rory" Rose smiled at him, he just nodded at her and she walked away "what's going on Rose?" Amy stopped her; "nothing, I have to speak to the doctor quickly" she lied and rushed off. The doctor didn't understand why Rose had come over and hugged him so tightly but he returned the action and kissed her cheek. "I-I love you" Rose said into his chest, "why do you choose now to say that?" the doctor quizzed her, "no reason" Rose lied again as she held back tears and kissed him gently and made her way to Jack.

River came up to the doctor, "I have to leave with the rest of the group, you should all head back to the TARDIS" River announced and glanced at the doctor then to her mother and father and walked to the group that had started huddling together. The doctor made his way to Rory and Amy and told them they had to leave, "I'll grab Rose" Amy volunteered and looked around for the blonde, the room began to clear as the groups walked into hole's in the walls that she assumed led to ships. She noticed the blonde standing next to Jack as she pressed her foot on the ledge into a cave like entrance "doctor" Amy grabbed his attention and he found what she was looking at, his Rose was leaving. Rory, Amy and the doctor bolted to Rose "what are you doing?" the doctor yelled and Rose turned around with Jack at her side, "I-I have to leave" Rose asserted, "No!" the doctor complained, "please no!" he begged, "doctor, I have to-I have to help, they found something and the Bad Wolf is a part of it-I have to go" Rose tried to explain.

"What are you talking about, Rose! When I said think about It, I meant to think about what you were doing and if you should-I didn't mean get up and leave!" Amy fought "I know! And it's not because of you, I'm sorry, but it is for the best" Rose had to yell as the ships that were taking off made loud whirring noises."Please-please stay, you're my best friend! You can't leave!" Amy tried to convince Rose to come back with them, she could feel hot tears sting her eyes as they slid down her cheeks, Amy ran to Rose "please!" she cried, Rose stepped forward and hugged Amy before turning around and stepping onto the platform "Rose no!" the doctor yelled with a clenched jaw. "I love you" she mouthed before a glass sealed over the entrance and they were rising up and away , Rose threw herself against Jack crying into his chest, "It's okay Rosie, you made the right choice though, the universe needs you right now" Jack rubbed her back as they hovered away.

The doctor sat on the floor of Rose's room next to Amy, The doctor threw a pillow at the wall "it's unfair!-it's unfair!-it's. Not. Fair!" "Stop it" Amy grinded her teeth, "excuse me?" the doctor glared at her, "I said stop, you don't have the right to be upset" Amy muttered "I think I do" the doctor argued "you don't!" Amy whipped her head to face him, tears had stained her cheeks. "You don't have the right to be upset, you let yourself cheat on River-If anyone deserves to be upset it's my daughter!" Amy scolded. "That was Rose! I finally had her back! I was helping her-fixing her! Just like she did for me, and I loved her-I didn't even get to tell her!" the doctor sobbed. "Yea? Well guess what-you may be my raggedy man-but Rose was also my best friend too! You have to let people go! So I'm sorry it's so hard for you to let someone go that you pushed away and sent away so many times-I'm not the one who waited years to show her I loved her or tell her, so it's your own fault she's gone and you can only blame yourself!" Amy screamed at him and then moved over to sit on Rose's bed. "River may deserve better than me, and I don't deserve her, but all I want is Rose, I had her-you don't know what it is like to be born alone! And think the person you loved so very dearly was gone forever! I had her, in my arms, she was here! The room was in pin drop silence until Amy got up and walked towards the door

"Maybe she's gone because you don't deserve her" Amy sniffed and left.

One week later

Nobody had spoken to each to each other, the doctor didn't leave Rose's room, he didn't sleep, and he didn't eat, Amy refused to even let Rory comfort her. They were all laying in bed when the TARDIS phone started ringing, which was not normal, the doctor bolted out of the room followed by Amy and Rory. He picked up the phone only to be greeted by a voice he didn't want to hear "hello, doc-tor, turn on your screen" the man chuckled, the doctor pressed a few buttons and the monitor screen flicker on and there was the master and his Rose.

"I thought you were dead!"the doctor said, hearts pounding, "I'm from the other world, and this lovely women here is going to help me make you suffer, through the power of Bad Wolf, thank you, so very much for letting her leave to find me she was the last in my collection" the parallel master laughed wickedly, "whatever you do-" Rose spoke up, "don't come for me...please" she cried. The screen went blank and the doctor and Amy could only stand staring, Rose was in the Master's clutches, she was in trouble, her nightmares were coming true, and it was their fault, they let her leave.
