EPILOGUE:

Rose sat at a table in the Tardis kitchen wearing a dressing gown. On the table sat several open jars and a bunch of bananas. Rose grinned as she peeled on of the banana's and proceeded to dunk it in one of jars. She groaned as she tasted the banana and began to dip it in another jar.

The Doctor walked in wearing pj's and a thoroughly put out look on his face,

"Hey, I woke up and found you were gone," he frowned as Rose dipped the banana into a jar of marmite, "You're not going to eat that" and his eyes opened in surprise as Rose proceeded to take a bite, "Yuck that's not right"

Rose smiled, "You don't know what your missing," Rose chucked him a banana, "grab a chair"

He stared at the banana in his hands, "I'm not sure I could face eating a banana again after seeing you dipping it in marmite"

Rose raised an eyebrow as the Doctor peeled the banana, "But you will, you love banana's" Rose took her banana and dipped it in a jar of mayonnaise, the Doctor placed his banana on the kitchen table appetite suddenly gone.

"You're looking a bit green Theta" and he stared appalled as she took a bite of mayonnaise coated banana.

The Doctor reached out to Rose's spare hand and looked into her eyes, "You are ok aren't you, nothing I should worry about?"

Rose sighed and stared into his worried face, "I'm fine Theta, other than a few cravings I'm right as rain" she continued to watch his face waiting for him to realize her condition.

"I'm always craving banana's but I wouldn't…" and he stared at the open jars.

Rose giggled and covered her finger in strawberry jam before placing it against his lips, she watched with pleasure as he proceeded to suck her finger slowly.

"I think Theta, we should retire to our room"

The Doctor smiled, "Lets go"

Rose quickly picked up the strawberry jam.

"What's that for?" asked the Doctor as they entered their room,

Rose winked, "You'll see"


The Doctor held Rose's hand as she slept, he always did this, always trying to keep her as close as possible. He smiled as Rose turned towards him in her sleep whispering his name. He placed a kiss against Rose's forehead and she snuggled against him.

It had been over a year since they had been locked up together, and since that day he hadn't let Rose leave his side.

He loved her and each day he loved her a little more than before. He had never felt so happy, so loved and he'd almost forgotten how it was without her.

When Donna and Jack had returned to let them out of the holding cells he had planned to shout of them for being so stupid, instead he had found himself hugging Jack in thanks.

Now Jack and Donna were together exploring the universe in Rose's Tardis.

He giggled knowing that Jack had his hands full with Donna but he was happy for them.

"What you laughing about?" Rose opened her eyes and gave him a sleepy smile.

"Just thinking about Jack and Donna"

Rose smirked, "Donna won't know what hit her"

"I was thinking more about Jack having to deal with Donna"

Rose sighed, "Couldn't think of a more suited couple"

"I can think of one" and he ran his fingers over Rose's lips. Her eyes opened and her lips parted.

"Rose, thank you"

She arched an eyebrow in his direction, "What have I done?"

"You've made an old man extremely happy"

Rose jabbed a finger in his stomach, "You're not old"

"900 years is old enough"

Rose sighed, "I wish we'd met sooner"

"I don't think you'd have fancied me in my previous forms"

"You mean you weren't always so handsome?"

He shook his head, "I never met a woman I wanted to impress so much as you"

"so, you're saying you deliberately regenerated into this form to impress me?"

The Doctor nodded, "and it worked you couldn't keep your eyes off me"

"You know what Theta?

"What?"

"You are amazing"

"It has been said before"

Rose took a pillow and hit him with it, the Doctor chuckled "what did I do?"

"That's for being too smart for your own good"

He grinned and took the pillow from Rose's hands and chucked it on the floor before reaching out and gathering her in his arms. "I love you Rose Tyler,"

"So you keep saying"

"And I will keep saying it every day of our lives, cause I really do"

"I love you too"


Later on Rose watched as the Doctor climbed under the Tardis console She loved to watch him, loved to see how well his suit clung to him like a second skin, she loved the way he muttered to no one in particular and she loved his smile. She loved him and she never grew tired of telling him.

"What thoughts are going through that head of yours Rose?"

"This and that"

The Doctor walked towards Rose and wrapped his arms around her, "This and that sounds exciting do you want to tell me more" and he placed a kiss against her nose.

Rose sighed, "I was just thinking which room we should use for nursery"

The Doctor smiled, then opened his mouth and stared at her.

"I thought you'd have guessed by now considering the strange cravings I've been having lately"

The Doctor stared at Rose, "Your pregnant! I didn't know, I don't know much about pregnancy, there were no pregnant women on Gallifrey" he paused and placed his hand against Rose's abdomen a look of wonder in his eyes, "a baby"

Rose nodded as a tear fell down a cheek, "Yes a baby, our baby"

The Doctor grinned and kissed her slowly, she sighed as he released her, "You know what this means Rose?"

She grinned as he flashed the familiar wide smile which seemed to light up his whole face.

"We won't be the last of our kind!" The Doctor wrapped his arms around her, face excited pondering the future, "There will be another Timelord"

"It also means your going to be a father"

"and you a mother"

Rose nodded, "all domestic"

The Doctor raised an eyebrow, and grinned, "very domestic"

"Think you can do 'domestic'?"

"As long as you're with me I can do anything"


Six months later the Tardis cloister bell went off. The Doctor and Rose ran towards the console as the Tardis' engines started up

"What's happening Theta?"

The Doctor frowned at the view screen, "I don't know Rose, something is happening in the Kasterborous system"

"Isn't that…"

The Doctor frowned and nodded, "where Gallifrey once stood"

Rose placed a hand against the Doctor's back.

The sound of the Tardis rematerializing had the Doctor quickly check the view screen so he knew where he was. The Doctor stared at the data on the screen unable to believe the words.

"Theta, What's wrong?"

The Doctor ran towards the Tardis doors and flung them open as Rose ran after him.

"Theta!"

Theta paused and stared out at the planet below him. Rose gasped and took his hand in his as they stood on a mountain and gazed at the trees of silver and the two suns shining overhead.

"But it's not possible" Rose stuttered, "Gallifrey was destroyed in the Timewar"

The Doctor grinned staring at the new planet below him before turning to stare at Rose.

"I'm beginning to think anything is possible" and the Doctor placed a hand against Rose's swollen belly

Rose sighed, "Is this really Gallifrey"

The Doctor shook his head, "No Gallifrey was destroyed, this planet is relatively young"

"But how?"

"For the first time Rose I don't care how, all that matters is that we're here" and he pulled Rose into his arms.

"So this is a new Gallifrey"

The Doctor nodded holding Rose tight, "A new Gallifrey for my new family" and he placed a kiss against Roses head.


The Guardians of space and time smiled pleased with themselves everything had gone according to plan and now what was once wrong, was put right
