Big finale! for all the revewers! :) KISSIS OLIVE! To continue with this story go back and search for "Life as a superhero" I intend to write a few more chapters in that story :)
Rose said goodbye to the Doctor after giving him a sweet kiss on his lips and left the house. She was going to meet Julian from work. She was wearing a lovely short flowered dress, the Doctor tried to make her put jeans and a t-shirt saying that if she went to meet him in that dress he would get the wrong idea but Rose told him to stop worrying and that she wouldn't be out for more than "a few" hours.
When the Doctor was left by his own, he changed into his usual brown suit and turned the TV. What was he supposed to do now that he was along in the house? He didn't care doing domestic with Rose but he was on his own now, and that was the difference.
What do men when they are not with the woman they love? Was Rose expecting him to make dinner or something? No, of course not. He had promised to think of a way to have both lives united as one. But how? Saving the universe, travelling just for fun and having a domestic life down on Earth was something rather impossible for them. They were not giving up the travelling and the running and he was not going to make her choose between the life she could have with him in the TARDIS and the life she had re-created on Earth.
After a few hours of watching the telly, the Doctor changed the channel and saw that there was a superhero special on BBC 1. First Superman, then Batman and the Avengers together with other well-known superheros.
"We are kind of a superhero team...me and Rose, Rose and me..." He thought "After all we save planets and people and civilizations, and we come home once in a while to visit her mum and I have an alter ego you could say, John Smith me after all?"
And that was when the idea popped inside his head for the first time. They could live a life as superheros, or kind of. Saving the world but living on Earth, and they had a time machine which came very handy now and then. Yeah, they could do that. Rose would like it wouldn't she? He would have to ask her first of course, but he thought it was a great idea.
He had to prepare something, a little speech to look more confident of this idea of his. He went to Rose's, no sorry, their bedroom searching a shit of paper and a pencil to write with. He opened the drawer of the table next to her side of the bed and found nothing on it. Then he opened the other table and didn't find what he was searching for. Where else could he find a shit of paper to write on? The closet maybe? He went to the closet and opened it and while he was searching for paper and a pencil a few magazines fall from the bookcase.
The Doctor, confused, picked them up to put them in the place they belonged when he realised they were wedding magazines and other domestic ones.
Suddenly he began to feel guilt inside for not realising what she really wanted. A married life, but, did she wanted this with him or where this magazines from a previous owner of her heart? He feared that they may be from a previous relationship and he was confused. He decided to do something he would have never imaging doing. He was going to ask Jackie for some advice, after all it was her daughter he was dating.
He walked to Kackie's place which it wasn't far from Rose's blue house and when he arrived Jackie recived him with a grinn on her face.
"So haw is my alien the heart-breaker?" She joked but saw the Doctor didn't when he stared at her with a serious look.
"Just kidding"
"Oh, right.." He faked a smile.
"Everything alright? What's happend? Where's Rose! I thought you two had well, made up for the time wasted?"
"What do you mean? Jackie I would never..." But he was cut by Jackie laughing.
"It's okey, you know? I don't know why she's still with you if you hadn't jumped to her yet!"
"We don't need that to be happy, mind?"
"You sure you don't want that?" She grined.
"Well, I've never said..Oh stop it Jackie I'm not here to talk about my intimate relations with your daugther who, right now, by the way, she's with another man"
"What do you mean with "another guy" ? " Jackie asked confussed.
"Julian, she works with him. He called her to hang out, something from work she said, it's okay, I trust and believe in her"
"Oh! Julian that lovely young, blonde hair guy. Yeah I remember him, what a sexy eyes! and his.."
"Not helping you know!" He raised his voice starting to regret letting Rose go to that date, appointment.
"Yeah, sorry" She said "Then what's brought you here?"
"I need you to tell me if Rose was with someone while I wasn't around"
"What? Why?"
"Jackie, please, I need to know!"
"But why? Doctor, Rose loves you and that's what matters"
"I found wedding magazines hidden in her closet" He said with a serious tone.
"Oh...I see" She stopped and thought, then replied "Doctor, Rose is not like the other girls you've met right? She is special and surely not an avridge woman, but she is still a human, she needs some domestic in her life, and love, and shopping, marrige and a family. She was raised around that stuff"
"I guess you are right. And I don't care, really, I would love to marry Rose" Jackie looked at him surprised at the confession "I would love to, really. But what if she bought those magazines when she was in love with someone else, someone who is not...me"
"She didn't tell you then" Jackie sighted.
"What? Haven't told me what?" asked the Doctor.
"You left her here on Earth Doctor, I don't care if it was or not your intention.."
"It wasn't" He cut her off coldly.
"Fine. But she needed help, she needed love. Rose met Julian from work, the same Julian who is with her now, and they..well they had something, she told me with him she could almost forget about her sadness, and that's what she wanted to do and what I wanted for her, and I'm sure you would have want that for her too. "
"Then the magazines where from her past relationship with him. And they are together now probably.."
"You don't know. You can't be sure of that, but I tell you what. You can be sure that she loves you Doctor, more than anything, more than anyone and more than him"
Suddenly, and by everyone's surprise, the door was opened by a lovely blonde hair girl in a lovely short flowered dress. She ran to the Doctor's arms and he retunred the hug. After a few minutes she broke the embrace and look at his eyes full of sadness now.
"I saw the magazines. I went back home and saw the magazines in the floor, I can explain" She begged.
"Then please do Rose because I don't understand! Julian, your ex-boyfriend? Or shall I say fiancé?"
"No, Doctor, let me explain"
"Go on then" He raised his voice. Jackie went out of the room living the two of them along.
"Julian and I were together, we were a cupple yes, and after a year he proposed to me and...and I accepted it" She broke to tears and the continued "Those magazines you found in the closet where my ... where ideas for the dress"
"Right" He took a deep breath "Why are you with me then? He's waiting for you Rose, I don't want to ruin..."
"No! No, you don't understand. I-I was afraid that I would never be good enough for someone so..I just had a great time with him. All those dates we had and when he kissed me I felt worth it. I regret everything I did, but I never knew that you were coming back for me, and that you had lost your memory. I thought you just droped me back on Earth because you got tired of me. And I had a crush on him and was going to marry him"
"Why have you gone out with him?"
"I wanted to explain everything to him. It's not easy you know? Now I've broken his heart and I don't know if he is ever going to talk to me again. But I love you"
Those words made the Doctor's heart stop. Literally stop. That was all he needed to hear, that she loved him. That after everything they've been through she still loved him.
"Am I the only one then? Am I still your man?" He asked with a smile of relief.
"Yes you are honey" And she ran to his arms and kissed him.
The Doctor and Rose went back to the TARDIS blue house and went straight to bed, not because they were tired but because they wanted to be close and cuddling and kissing, and talking.
"We could live both lives you know? The TARDIS life and the human life" He started.
"What are you talking about? How would we deal with both of them?" Rose wondered.
"Easy, we live here on Earth, you go to work everyday, I could..I dunno, be a teacher or something, I love kids" He smiled and continued "And ocassionaly we could fly away with the TARDIS and because it is a time machine too we wouldn't be late for anything"
"I like that" She smiled in his chest and felt his temperature rising.
"Doctor, in all the time I spent with Julian we've never had.." She admitted.
"You can't be serious" He said surprised.
"Why?!"
"With a girl like you who wouldn't want that?" He said cheekily.
"I told him I was waiting for marrige but honestly I was waiting for you" said she.
"Really?" He said while he made a move to end up on top of her "Glad to hear that" He whispered in her ear.
"So are you going to give me what I've been waiting?" She asked breathing heavily.
"I don't know..don't you want to wait after we are marride?" He asked hoping this was what she really wanted.
"Are you sure? Because I don't need..."
"Shut up, of course you do" And he proceeded to kiss her passionately and end up with all the waiting for once of all.
Hey there, hope you liked it :) I did! haha
