As most probably know I have had an extreme case of writer's block that I am slowly coming out of and when I say slowly…well it's slow, so I'm sorry I haven't updates honestly. A lot of you have PM'd me and I took so long coming through on it and I am truly, truly sorry and I'll try and do my best to make this story worth the waiting. Thanks to shadowxwolf, starry-eyed-torchwood-lover, perfect pirate captain, All star ellie, Kazz the 13th, starlite1, stun-gunned, and poketheveil for the wonderful reviews and support. Here is the next part :D

Chapter 6

"I watched it happen. I watched it crumble and fall. I stood on the highest building in Cardiff and felt it collapse underneath me. I didn't try to run, I couldn't run. My heart was still stuck in this place even long after they invaded. We put up a good fight, but… it was the events of earlier that was real reason for all of this."

The girl moved her hand over the thin air. The air became like water as Jack watched an image ripple and unfold. He didn't know what she was or if she was even human, but she possessed power. If human, psychic. If alien, then…well there was a pretty long list.

Jack looked at the images unfolding in front of him. It was unfamiliar, but as it cleared he could see a shade of blue and a blonde exiting from it. He recognized the person immediately.

"Doctor?" Rose whispered as she exited the TARDIS.

He had told her to stay inside, but what of that scream? Honestly, did he just expect her to leave him on his own when he yelled out like that?

"Doctor?" she called as she fully exited the TARDIS.

They were in an open field of some kind. Just ahead she could spy a small empire aligned by miniature houses. The men must have been home or doing something else entirely. Up ahead were columns like those of the Greeks. A planet full of men and they couldn't come up with something more original, Rose thought.

Rose began to walk. She exited the field calling for the Doctor although glancing around every now and then to make sure there was no one following her or that she wasn't noticed.

"Doctor," Rose grumbled starting to get really scared and…hungry.

What she wouldn't give for some chips right about now. Chips and a nice, sweet, ice cold soda. But she needed to focus now.

Suddenly alarms seemed to blare from all around. Rose did the only other thing besides run when she was in a situation like this and hid behind a shack of some kind. Men in togas, she had to stifle a giggle, but nonetheless men in toga's passed her carrying spears.

"Intruder. Intruder," they called.

As they disappeared from view Rose emerged and looked around. She was becoming worried now. Did they know about her being on their planet? What about the Doctor? Where was he?

She turned and right from behind she felt a hand land on her shoulder. She screamed and he screamed at the exact time. The guards were coming in their direction after hearing the noise.

"Oh now you've done it," the Doctor grumbled as he took her hand and they started at a full paced run for the field where the TARDIS lay.

"Didn't I tell you to stay in the TARDIS? But no. Nobody ever listens. Life or death situation and what do they all do, they completely tune me out," the Doctor talked as they ran.

"I heard you scream," she said in between breaths.

"No, you heard a scream. I on the other hand never scream."

"Then what was that just now?"

"That was a yell of release of anger because you did not listen to me and stay in the TARDIS," he excused.

"Whatever you say Doctor. Oh and by the way, you scream like a girl," Rose grinned as they were now in the field and inches from the TARDIS.

The men were right on top of them. Rose whipped out her key prepared to enter the TARDIS when guards came out of nowhere and blocked their path each pointing spears at them.

Rose was close enough to realize that these weren't ordinary spears. They had a sort of rainbow glow to them. Even though the style was old fashioned, apparently the technology was not.

"Hands above your head," one scowled.

Rose and the Doctor slowly raised their hands and looked from one to the other. Not so lightly the guards cuffed them and dragged them off.

"Where are you taking us?" the Doctor demanded.

"The Emperor Slitzer III of the Gipsies Empire."

"Doctor, what are we going to do?" Rose whispered.

"Quiet! You disgrace our kind with your womanhood," a guard spat.

"Yeah, well I've got two words for you," Rose said angrily. She really wasn't in the mood for this and she was fully prepared to scream at the next person who spoke to her, "Your mother…"

"Harsh," the Doctor looked at her.

"Well these men are royally pissing me off," she spoke with malice.

"Rose, this is so not the time to get into one of your moods. Our lives may depend on this," the Doctor whispered urgently.

"Well, I'll try not to, but…"Rose suppressed a growl from escaping her throat, "What'd you find out so far?"

"Apparently Gipsies never threatened Jipsies. But Jipsies supposedly doesn't believe that and are preparing for a full out war and they supposedly have a secret weapon," the Doctor whispered as they gradually neared the court.

"You don't mean… She's back with Jack though…surely."

"I'm sure Gwen is fine, but what I want to know is why her? She's a psychic yes, but that can't be the only reason. My guess is though, there is a third counterpart in all of this mess, causing it. There was never a Jipsies/Gipsies war in the history books. No this is deliberate."

The doors to the court opened and the imprisoned Rose and Doctor were led inside. The guards forced them to their knees as they stared upon the Emperor who would sentence them. The Doctor didn't care about himself at the moment. The glare the Emperor was sending Rose was enough to send shivers down his spine and invoke fear.

"What happened?" Jack persisted, but the girl was quiet as if she were seeing the event from behind the dark shades.

She spoke slowly, "They found out she was pregnant with a Time Child."

"Let her go! Let her go!" the Doctor struggled against his cuffs as he tried to reach for the sonic screwdriver.

"Doctor! Doctor!"Rose cried frantically as she tried to struggle against the guards.

The Doctor had been forgiven, but Rose had been sentenced to be beheaded. The bastard men cheered as she was led up the stairs to her impending doom.

"She's done nothing. She is innocent. It's my fault. I brought her here, take me and let her go," the Doctor yelled at the Emperor.

"She is a woman, a trickster. The only good she is in life is to have children and create more men, but other than that she is useless," the Emperor declared, "You are a man. She has obviously put you under her heretical spell. This is why we do not associate with women."

"No!"Rose protested as they tried to tie her hands down and put her head on the chopping block. One of the guards held a device that scanned her.

"I demand you release her on the terms of the Niclikian Amendment Article 38 B," the Doctor tried.

"Denied."

"Then I demand you release her before you get on the really bad side of a Time Lord," the Doctor was furious now.

The Emperor stared at him, "Time Lord?"

"My Lord, the woman," said the guard holding the device.

"What about her?" the Emperor commanded as he took his attention off of the Doctor.

The guard moved forward and showed the results of the scan to the Emperor who held a blank expression and then his frown turned into a small, almost evil smile.

"According to the laws of the Gipsies Constitution Article 54, the woman will be spared her life," the Emperor announced.

The Doctor let out a deep breath as Rose was let go. She ran to him and he immediately pulled her into his embrace. They weren't going to kill her, but…he then went into a deep state of thought as he tried to remember what Article 54 of the Gipsies Constitution was.

"Article 54 states," the Emperor started as though he read the Doctor's mind, "that a pregnant woman may be spared her life until she has given birth to the child."

Rose lost all feeling in her legs as the Emperor's words rang in her ears and was grateful that the Doctor was holding her. She was too scared to look at him so she just held him tighter. What was going through his head right now?

"Well, that explains the mood swings, "the Doctor managed though he too was very surprised.

The couple was taken to a cell silent the entire time. Rose sat on the dirty floor while the Doctor looked around. Both were in deep contemplation. The room was dark and dingy. There was a hay stack that was meant for sleeping, a puddle of water and it smelt.

"You'd think that they would at least, give me a challenge. This lock will take mere seconds to unlock," the Doctor said distractedly.

"Doctor-"Rose breathed.

"-Come midnight tonight you and I will be on the TARDIS safe and sound. We'll have to check with Jack to make sure everything's all right of course," he babbled.

"Doctor-"

"-You'd think for such an advanced race they'd update on living quarters-"

"-Doctor, look at me."

The Doctor kept his back to her. Her eyes were pleading as she sat cross legged. She was confused and happy and upset and she had never been more scared in her entire life.

"I-We just found out I was pregnant," she started her voice breaking slightly, "And you can't even look at me. Am I that hideous to you that you can't turn to me and face the subject? Doctor, I know you're scared. How the hell do you think I feel, but I need to know what we are going to do about it?"

"I don't know!" the Doctor yelled.

Being pregnant was bad enough, but what scared her more was what the Doctor would decide. Would he send her home and never return? Would he make her give it up? No, he would never ask her to do that, but did he want to keep it at all?

"I mean the thought never even occurred to me that it was physically possible for you to get-get-to be-"

"-pregnant," Rose finished for him.

"Yes, and because of it you're in a lot more danger than ever before. The minute the emperor heard the word Time Lord and baby he was practically jumping out of his seat. A time child is a very powerful and vulnerable being and the fact that your-your-"

"-pregnant-"

"-with one does not help the situation."

"Doctor, I don't care about what the rest of the universe thinks or plans for this child. I want to know what you think. Do you want to father this child? Will you be there for school plays, birthdays, first dates and all the domestic stuff you can't stand or will you be travelling the universe while we stay behind?"

"Rose, what are you talking about? Of course I'm going to father the child. It's not like I haven't done it before. Secondly, Time lords do not need schooling. They look into the time vortex and that is the education part. Thirdly, if I travel the universe you're coming with me even if I have to drag onto this ship kicking and screaming. But that's not the point. The point is-"

The Doctor was cut off by Rose's lips. She threw her arms around his neck, happy and relieved. He smiled into this kiss knowing that was exactly what she wanted to hear and knew that, that was what she was obsessing over. She released him and he wore a flustered expression on his face as he always did when Rose Tyler made him extremely happy or impressed him in some way.

"-the point is," he continued as though the interruption was nothing and she grinned, "We are going to be in extreme danger if we have this child."

"And that's so different to now, how?"

"Because it means I'll have an extra life to watch out for."

"We'll our child be able to regenerate. It'll be half human after all."

"Yes, it will, maybe. Possibly, but it doesn't mean it's not painful," the Doctor whined.

"Do you think it'll be a boy or a girl?" Rose asked.

"Just as long as it's healthy," a voice said.

Rose turned, she could have sworn she heard someone so familiar say it.

"Well, doesn't matter, but we can discuss that later. Right now we…Rose?"

"Gwen?" Rose asked.

"Gwen?" the Doctor asked Rose.

"She communicated with me."

"Let me hear," the Doctor said as he took her head in his hands, closing his eyes and began to open a telepathic connection, "I might be able to strengthen it."

"Gwen got through to the Doctor and Rose then?" Jack asked, some tension he felt being relieved.

"Yes, but things were not as they seem, Jack," the girl answered.

"Doctor, Rose. Can you hear me?" Gwen asked using every bit of power she could muster just to communicate with them.

"Gwen, where are you?" the Doctor asked, Rose being able to hear the conversation considering it was her mind they were communicating through.

"Is Rose with you? Is she alright?"

"Tell her I'm alright and ask how she is?" Rose told the Doctor.

"Rose, this isn't a telephone line."

"No, but it's my head that's getting the headache from this telepathic communicating your using, so shut up and tell her," Rose snapped.

"All form of happy thoughts about living with one pregnant Rose Tyler are now gone," the Doctor muttered and Rose glared.

"Rose is fine and she asks how you are?" the Doctor communicated back to Gwen.

"Oh, just dandy," Gwen answered sarcastically, "I've only just been kidnapped by Jipsies."

"She's the weapon?" Rose asked, 'But I thought you said…"

"And I wasn't wrong about that. There has to be something else, "the Doctor spoke to Rose and then back to Gwen's faded voice in Rose's mind, "Gwen, listen, do you have any idea as to why they kidnapped you?"

"Well it certainly wasn't for my looks," she answered.

"She just had a Jack Harkness moment," Rose sounded and smiled.

"Rose, please. I'm trying to focus on the voice inside your head," the Doctor said.

Rose stuck her tongue between her teeth and continued to listen.

"Have you heard from Jack," Gwen asked in all seriousness.

"No, why what happened?"

"Something took him. It's all wrong, Doctor. I can feel it," Gwen said in despair, "But there is something else."

"What, what is it?" Rose asked in her mind.

"She can't hear your mind thoughts, Rose," the Doctor spoke.

"What, so you can communicate to her through my head, but I can't talk back."

"The only reason I'm using your head to communicate with Gwen is because she contacted your brain first. Do you have any idea how much easier it would be if she contacted me," the Doctor stated, "Other than that, no because you didn't train your mind to form a semi-psychic ability."

"Then what exactly do you call pheromones."

"That's different."

"Why? Because it's more pleasurable for you."

"Rose," his voice was warning, "Not while I'm on the 'mind' with Gwen?"

"On the mind?"

"You know the expression on the phone? Same concept. Now stop distracting me," he told her, "Now, Gwen what were you just about to say?"

"Are you two done? I heard every word by the way even Rose's thought," Gwen said.

"Ha!" Rose smiled while the Doctor did his best to ignore her

"Yes, but go on, what is it?" he asked.

Gwen was silent as the Doctor and Rose listened intently waiting to hear and then the most unexpected words to ever form from Gwen's mouth came tumbling out, "I'm pregnant."
