Chapter 8

Forget the Words, but Not the Song

Paris was swallowed by the night, but dimly lit with the lights of the city. As the Doctor and Rose exited the Opera house they looked up at the sky.

"So how does their story end? Christine and Erik's?" Rose nudged the Doctor.

The Doctor looked at Rose to give her a warm smile. "Well, in order for them to escape an angry mob they go to New York all the way in America. There they start a new life of love and music. They have one son named after Christine's father, and then I'm not sure what happened after that."

"End with a bang?" Rose questioned the Doctor.

"It always does." They giggled with each other as they walked away from the Opera house. The closer they got to the TARDIS, the more the Doctor thought about Christine's words. What did she mean by jealous? I don't get jealous. The Doctor looked at Rose. Then again. Seeing her in another man's arms does drive me mad.

"Watcha thinking, Doctor?" Rose tightened her grip on the Doctors hand. She leaned in closer to his shoulder.

"Just what Christine told me."

"Something about jealousy, yeah?" Rose looked forward in confusion, then back to the Doctor. "But you don't get jealous Doctor. Your a time lord with advanced feelings."

"Not all the time." He looked at Rose.

Just around the corner was the TARDIS, and that's when the Doctor's pace quickened. Dragging Rose quickly behind him, but she started dragging her feet.

"What do you mean, not all the time?" She let go of the Doctor's hand.

The Doctor took a deep breathe and looked at Rose. He took couple steps closer and grabbed her hand once again. He started rubbing his fingers over the back of her hand.

"The first time I met you I grabbed this hand, and I was sorry that I even let go." Rose quickly looked into the Doctor's eyes to see him blushing.

"When we were on Satellite 1, I saved you life like I did in the opera's dungeon. I took the time vortex out of your head by kissing you. It was the only thing I could think of, Rose."

Rose started looking at the Doctor in confusion. He put his hand upon her cheek and felt her cheeks becoming warmer and warmer beneath his palm.

"When the TARDIS placed the time vortex in your head, she also placed in my lullaby. The exact song my mother would sing every night to me in my cradle on Galifrey. And when I heard you sing it, I could hear my mother again. As if she were alive and well, singing me to sleep."

The Doctor stepped closer to Rose, feeling the presence of her body close to his.

"When Erik took you away from me, I felt lost. I felt angry. I had to get you back." He paused, looking deeper into Rose's eyes. "That's why Christine told me to get hung up in jealousy. She could see that when I didn't have you, and someone else did, my hearts would break."

Rose's eyes started to tear up, but the Doctor would wipe them away. "Erik saw you as dark and pure as a black rose, but do you want to know what I see you as?"

Rose shook her head with a faint smile upon her face.

"Your as warm and bright as my hearts, and that's where you are Rose. Your in my hearts." And with that said the Doctor leaned in closer to Rose and kissed her on the lips. It was warm and comforting.

Rose wrapped her hands around the Doctors back to pull him in closer as the Doctor grabbed her waist. It felt like the stars were falling around them, colliding and crashing all at once. The Doctor could feel tears falling from Rose's face, so he separated from her. She was smiling at him.

"You don't know how long I waited for you to do that again. I will always be there for you Doctor, I wouldn't even think of leaving you. Not for one second. You are my life Doctor, and you always will be."

Their lips crashed together again, and the Doctor picked her up by her waist and spun her around like in the movies. When they separated Rose started to laugh. The Doctor placed her back down on the ground.

"Doctor, I love you." Rose said as she hugged the Doctor. She could hear the Doctor's cute giggle beneath her as he began stroking her hair. He placed at gentle kiss to the top of her head and started to lead her to the TARDIS.

"I do believe it's time we head home." The Doctor said as he placed the key into the TARDIS's lock. The doors opened and welcomed the two back home with a warm hum. I'm home. Rose thought to herself.

The next morning Rose arose from the TARDIS's corridors to enter the consul room to see the Doctor staring at the consul. Rose coughed to herself, and the Doctor turned his head to look at her with a warm cheeky smile. He ran over to her and hugged her, while placing a gentle kiss upon her forehead.

"So what have you been up too?" Rose directed her attention the the consul. She however wanted to stay in the hug for as long as possible, but then the Doctor broke away to run back to his consul.

"Umm, at the moment we are having problems leaving the 19th century. Seems that the time storm mess up some of the time rotars, but soon enough we will be off and whizzing about once again." He said with a smile.

Rose laughed, but then her attention was drawn to something sticking out of the TARDIS flooring.

"Doctor, what's this sticking out the floor? Some tube?" She said as she stepped closer to the tube.

The Doctor noticed what Rose was addressing and immediately ran toward her.

"Rose, that's an amnesia filter! It's one of my defensive systems I have in the TARDIS in case anyone were to stumble in on accident."

"What does it do?"

"It makes you forget anything that has happened in the past twenty four hours. Just stay away from it Rose."

The Doctor quickly started to shove it back into the grates in the flooring of the TARDIS flooring with no caution, and in a panic. Suddenly the cloister bell went off. A murky green steam started rising from the grates.

The Doctor ran away from the steam to look at his desktop. The Doctor accidentally set it off by plunging it back into the grates carelessly. The Doctor placed his hands over his face and started rapidly looking around for Rose. He had to get her out of there, otherwise she would forget what has happened in the past twenty four hours.

Forget the Opera, Christine, the Viscount, Erik, and The Doctor telling Rose his feelings for her. The Doctor couldn't let this happen to her. Not now, not ever! He ran around his consul to see Rose on the floor unconscious. The Doctor picked up Rose and started carrying her to her bedroom.

Please don't let her forget me. Don't take my angel away from me.

The Doctor gently placed Rose onto her bed and sat with her. About twelve minutes ago the amnesia gas went off inside the TARDIS by mistake. Hopefully all it did was stun Rose. The worst it could do is to take away her memory of the past twenty four hours. She would forget the Doctor telling her that she was his world. The only thing that mattered to him.

When the Doctor found Rose's bedroom, The TARDIS alerted him that the amnesia gas shut off because it ran out. Good, why would I need it in the first place?

The Doctor ran his fingers against Rose's cheek to see her gently breathing. He leaned in closer to her ear and started to sing.

"Say you'll share with me, one love, one lifetime. Lead me, save me, from my solitude. Say you need me with you here, beside you. Anywhere you go let me go too, Rose, that's all I ask of you."

The Doctor kissed Rose on her lips. A single tear fell from the Doctor's eyes. He could feel his hearts shattering all over again. Then Rose opened her eyes to see the Doctor hanging over her.

"Doctor?"

"Rose?" The Doctor could see she was fine. It was a miracle!

"Doctor, do you mind telling me why you are in my bedroom watching me sleep?"

No! She forgot. She can't have forgotten!

"Quick Rose, tell me. Do you know who Christine Daae is?"

"Isn't that a name from a book?"

"Do you know where we went yesterday?"

"We were on that planet falling into the black hole. What's wrong Doctor?"

The Doctor held his breath and looked longingly into Rose's eyes. Hoping for her to be playing a joke on him. A sick twisted joke.

"No, it's okay. Just making sure no trauma after what happened. You know with you almost falling into a black hole and all." The Doctor was holding back tears.

"Alright then, let me just get ready and we can go were ever you want to go this time, kay?"

The Doctor smiled. At least she will still stay with me. Travel with me. That's all I asked of her the first day we met.

Rose watched as the Doctor left her room. She fell back down onto her bed with a thud. Questions were running through her head. Why was he in here, why did he ask me those questions, is he okay?

But the strongest thing lingering in her head was a song with the Doctor's voice. Rose looked up back at her door, and felt a tear run down her face. Why am I crying? She imagined the Doctor in her room singing to her. Rose closed her eyes and saw the Doctor singing into her ear as a single tear fell from his eye.

Love me, that's all I ask of you.
