Hi again, this is yet another new Doctor who fanfiction from me, this idea occurred to me whilst I was writing the first part of Daleks in Manhattan. This piece is a companion piece for 'Series three with Rose' as it deals with what happened to Jackie after the void was closed and she was separated from her daughter forever.

This is in the first person, so let me know if I've done alright or not as the case may be, and no flames, they just bore me.

My name is Jackie Tyler and this is the story of how I died…

I lived in London for 39, alright 40 years, I met a wonderful man, we got married and had a beautiful baby girl, we called her Rose. Her father died when she was six months old and I raised her alone in our flat in the Powell Estate. We lived a relatively normal life until Rose turned 19... She went to work one day and she lost her job when the shop she was working in was blown up. She disappeared for a year… When she came back, she was with an older man, maybe 40 or 45 at the most. He was Northern and he had big ears and a big nose, he always wore a leather jacket.

Rose left with this man, or alien as I had discovered when I saw his ship, it is called the Tardis. They went away and came back a few times, but one time, Rose came back to the Estate on her own. She opened up the time ship and went back to where ever she had been with the Doctor to save him.

Then came Christmas… I heard the Tardis arriving and when out to meet it. The Doctor was not there, or so I thought, the Doctor had changed his face. He was younger now, no much older than Rose by the looks of him, he spent the whole of Christmas Eve unconscious, while he was sleeping an invasion began. I saved him with my tea and he woke up in time to save the Earth.

Rose went away with him again, I didn't know when I would next see them. They came back a few weeks later to investigate a near by school and the two of them had stayed with me, when they had finished they went off again and surprisingly Mickey went off with them. A few weeks later, the Tardis materialised in my living room and Rose exited sobbing, glad that I was alive, the only thing the Doctor had said was that they had been far away, they left again the next morning and then a month later I called them back cause this man called Elton was investigating them.

Then came the ghosts One day they just appeared, the Doctor of course was nowhere to be seen. Then they turned up with absolutely no idea what was going on.

Then came TORCHWOOD, the Doctor figured out where the ghosts were coming from and went to stop them. He accidentally took me in the Tardis with him and then it turned out to be a good thing for Rose, she was supposed to stay in the Tardis, but Rose being Rose left the safety of the Tardis and found something, then the Ghosts changed…

Then there was a war between us and the Daleks and the Cybermen. The Doctor found a way out, although he would have to send Rose away. He sent her with me to a parallel universe where Pete was still alive and I was dead, Mickey was there and everything was alright there now… but the Doctor should have known that Rose wouldn't stay away, she went back to our universe and I knew that I would never see her again. "Take me back" I went to push the button that would take me back to my daughter, but Pete took it from me.

"You can't use this, the Doctor said it would shatter this universe"

"I don't care I've got to go back" I tried the button, but it wouldn't work. I knew then that that was it, I was stuck there… Pete took me home and got me settled in and a few months later we renewed our wedding vows and then a few months later I found out I was pregnant.

Then came the dreams…. I dreamt that Rose was calling to me, I told Pete and Mickey and Jake, I knew that they would listen to me cause they met the Doctor, they knew what he could do, so the next morning we packed up and got into Pete's old jeep and drove, following the voice just like the dream said. The voice led us to Norway to a deserted beach. I got out of the jeep and saw my daughter standing alone near the sea, I walked over to her and stopped a few inches in front of her.

"Where are you?" I asked

"In the Tardis"

I looked at my daughter and said "You look like a ghost"

Rose turned to someone I couldn't see, presumably the Doctor and said "She can't see me properly" suddenly Rose was more solid and I reached out to touch her she smiled sadly at me and said "I'm still an image, no touch" she paused again as I lowered my hand to my side. "Where did the gap come out then?"

"Dalig Ulv Stranden"

"Dalek?" she asked sounding shocked

I tried not to laugh when I answered "Dalig" whilst shaking my head.

I looked at my daughter and I mean really looked at her, even though she had yet to say it I knew that this would be the last time I saw her, she looked different "Are you happy?" I had to ask.

"Yeah" she answered with a smile on her face "I'm very happy, there's three of us now. Me, the Doctor and the baby"

"You're not?" I asked knowing that I was wrong

Rose was smiling for real now "Yeah, I am, I'm two months gone"

I was livid, that Doctor had gotten my little girl pregnant "I'm gonna kill him" I said "DOCTOR" I knew that he was in the room with Rose and could hear every word that we were saying, well at least every word Rose was saying.

The man in question came up behind Rose and wrapped his arms lovingly around Rose's waist as she said "No, mum you won't" I was confused.

"Why not?" I asked knowing that they weren't telling me something.

"Maybe, I should have told her this bit first" Rose said whilst looking up at the Doctor, who simply shrugged his shoulders.

"We're married" Rose said, I was completely shocked, I had expected them to tell me that they were together, but I wasn't expecting that "We've been married since a few months before the Doctor regenerated" Now I was even more shocked, she had married her first Doctor. Now I know why they had kept their marriage a secret, Rose knew that I had hated the first Doctor and she was saving him from another of my slaps

"Oh…" was all that I could come up with in answer to that. I looked at the Doctor, he was looking at me with amusement all over his face, although I didn't say anything to him about it. Instead I said "I'm happy for you, both of you" after telling her that I asked the question that I could tell they were both dreading "Will I ever see you again?"

Rose didn't answer me this time, the Doctor did. I noticed that Rose was trying not to cry, so I already knew what the answer was and I smiled through my own tears which were beginning to fall, as my son in law, (now that's weird, the Doctor being my son in law) tightened his arms around Rose in a small, but very welcome gesture of comfort "You can't. I'm sorry" I started to cry quietly, I knew that they could see the tears streaming down my face. I was upset that I would never see my little girl again, and I was even more upset by the fact that in seven months time, for them at least I would be a grandmother and I would never get to see my grandchild. The Doctor, the sensitive person that he is ruined the moment by saying "You're dead, officially, back home. So many people died that day and you went missing…"

I nodded at him and turned my attention to the jeep and motioned to Mickey to come and join me. He came over quickly and when he stopped beside me he reached out to touch Rose and she said "I'm sorry" he put his hand down as he understood what she meant. He then noticed the way that the Doctor was holding Rose and I thought that he would be jealous, I was prepared to slap him if he upset Rose more than she already was. "It's fine" he said and I was shocked "It's always been you and him and it always will be." he smiled at them and then Rose told him what she told me, only in a better order this time "We're married, Mickey and I'm pregnant" I could tell that Mickey was shocked, he was silent and he smiled at them, which indicated that he was happy for them. When Rose spoke next I knew that it was time for us to say goodbye, probably forever. "I love you mum" she said "and you too Mickey. Tell dad that I love him and tell Jake thank you." I watched as she turned herself away from us and hid her face in her husband's chest as they disappeared from view. My shoulders began to shake and I turned to Mickey and began to cry, I don't know how long I cried for all I know is that when I pulled back from Mickey, my husband was there, he pulled me into his arms as I continued to cry

"Did you tell her?" he asked when I had stopped crying

"No" I answered

"Why not?"

"I ran out of time and she told me that she was pregnant too."

"That's good isn't it"

"Yeah, but now they're out there travelling through time and space and now they've got no ties to Earth. I don't want to think of all the danger that they'll get themselves and our grandchild into."

"They're sensible people, they won't let anyone or anything harm their son or daughter."

"You're right" I answered "Rose says that she loves you, by the way"

"I love her too, I'm sure that she knows that."

We went back to the car where I was greeted by a hug from Mickey and even Jake whom I passed Rose's message along to "Jake, Rose says thank you for helping"

"She's very welcome" Jake answered.

We got back into the car and drove back to London and five months later, I gave birth to a baby boy and I called him Tony.

Although I'm dead in the world that I was born in, I'm very much alive in a parallel one, I just wish that I could see my daughter again some day. As Rose once told me that the Doctor had told her, never say never ever, as when the Doctor is involved, the impossible is actually possible.

What do you think, this is my first attempt at writing a story in the first person, I'm alright at it when it's myself that I'm writing about, let me know what you think, there will be another chapter that will be from Mickey Smith's point of view.
