Sorry for the late upload, I've been super busy but will try and keep on top of them now! :) xx
"Rose?" Henry whispered as he entered her bedroom whilst she slept, the Doctor following behind him. "Rose, darling?" He said again as he got closer to her, causing her to open her eyes. "The Doctor is here" he said as he helped her sit up. "If you wouldn't mind waiting outside, sir" the Doctor directed at Henry, unsure of his name. Rose looked up at him, silently pleading for him to insist on staying, but heard Emilia begin to cry. "Please can you go and check on her…? Don't tell her the Doctor is here" Rose looked at him. "Of course" Henry nodded as he left the room.

"Mrs Wilson, have you noticed any changes with your periods?" The Doctor frowned. "No" Rose shook her head "my periods never really went back to normal after I had my daughter. Sometimes they're every month but then I'd go 5 or 6 months without one… why?" Rose asked confused but answering her own question. "I'm pregnant, aren't I?" Rose looked at him, praying the answer would be no, unsure how Henry would feel. "Yes…" the Doctor replied. "Would you like me to ask your husband to come in?" He offered. "No, it's OK. I'll tell him when he's settled Emilia… how far along am I?" She asked, not even noticing that Henry had been referred to as her husband. "Around 4 months" the Doctor smiled as he closed his briefcase. "Thank you" Rose swallowed. "I'll be back in around 2 months to see how you're getting along" he said. "Thank you…" Rose repeated and watched as the Doctor left the room.
Upon hearing the front door close, Henry left Emilia's room and headed back to Rose's. "What did he say?" Henry asked concerned, but Rose avoided the question "is Emilia OK?" She asked. "She's fine, her bear had ended up on the floor when she was asleep, she couldn't find it… what did the Doctor say, Rose?" Henry said firmly. "You might want to sit down" Rose sighed, watching as Henry sat at the foot of the bed. "Rose, you're scaring me, what is it? Is it cancer? Incurable? Please tell me…" Henry said, nothing but fear and concern in his voice. "God, no, no it's nothing like that. I'm just… I'm pregnant" Rose sighed. "What?!" Henry asked surprised. "Really?!" He continued, trying to hide the small smile appearing on his face. "Yes" Rose nodded a little. "I'm so sorry, I know this isn't what you signed up for, not yet anyway, we should have been more careful, I'm sorry" She repeated, holding back tears. "Sorry? What do you mean you're sorry. Are you not pleased?" Henry asked. "Well, I guess, but I don't know if this is what you want…" Rose replied "god Rose, I want nothing more! A baby! A baby together! The 4 of us? I couldn't be happier if I tried!" He said as he pulled her in to a hug. "Thank God" Rose sighed quietly as she rested her head on his shoulder.

10pm
The 2 of them lay awake in bed together, both unable to fall asleep after the news they had just received.
"Rose?" Henry said "hmm?" She replied. "Please can you tell me about Emilia's Dad? What happened, who he was?" He asked. "Erm-" Rose replied, thinking she would be unable to tell him, but after pausing for a few moments, took a deep breath. "A few years ago, I was on the Titanic" she started "what?!" He asked surprised "and I was engaged… he was an awful person, so awful that I climbed off the back of the ship and considered jumping… until- until a man stopped me. He was called Jack. He was one of the kindest people I've ever met, and he saved me… we planned to get off the ship together when it docked, but he didn't make it. We slept together when we were onboard, and that's when I fell pregnant with Emilia…" Rose said, finally making eye contact with Henry. "Why didn't you tell me?" He asked "I've never spoken about it or him until now. I never felt ready. He was from here, that's why I moved here, well- that, and because I didn't think my ex fiancé would find me here. Jack left here in 1907, did you know him?" she asked. Henry shook his head a little "I won't have done, I didn't get here until 1910" Henry nodded a little "I'm so sorry you went through that Rose… and I'm so sorry you felt like you couldn't talk to me about it" he sighed gently as he stroked her cheek. "It's not that I felt like I couldn't talk to you about it. I knew I could talk to you about it, I just wasn't ready, I'm the one who should be sorry" she sighed a little. "Don't you ever apologise" he replied. "I hate to ask… and I'm sorry if it comes across like I'm implying anything here, that's not my intention at all, but… How do you know Emilia is his? If you were with someone else at the time?" Henry asked carefully, worried he would have offended her, but needing to know for his own peace of mind. "I never slept with Cal, only Jack. You and him are the only ones I've ever slept with, and all it takes is one look at Emilia to know she's Jack… the blonde hair, blue eyes, her smile is almost identical to his…" Rose smiled gently and ever so slightly. "That's how I know" she looked at him. He leant forward and kissed her forehead before changing the subject, being concerned that she was going to become upset speaking about Jack. "Don't freak out when I ask you this…" he started "ask me what?" Rose frowned confused. "Will you marry me?" "What?!" She replied shocked. "Rose, we're going to have a baby together… I want to be here for everything, every milestone. I love you so much. I was going to ask if I could move in anyway, seen as I spend all my time here" he chuckled but continued. "I love you, I love Emilia, and I know I'll love this baby" he said seriously. "What do you say?" He asked with a slightly raised eyebrow. "Yes" Rose nodded as her eyes filled with tears. He leant forward and kissed her before running his hands through her hair.
