The Doctor's point of view
"How long have we got?" She asked
"About two minutes."
"I can't think of what to say!"
"You've still got Mister Mickey, then?" I looked over at him, with one half of me wishing that she'd move on and be happy with him, the other half, wishing so hard that she was here with me.
"There's gonna be five of us now. Me, Mum, Dad, Mickey and ... the baby." She hung her head, tears splashing down onto the sand.
"You're not?" I looked at her, and let a little smile creep onto my face, but it faded away as I realized, even if she was pregnant, and it was with my child, there'd be no way to ever see her again without destroying both universes. No matter how much I wanted to be with her, it would be impossible without slaughtering billions of innocent lives in my selfishness. An image burned into my mind, of me, and her, and a child, sitting in a nursery in the Tardis. The ceiling was painted with galaxies and burning constellations, and on the wall, above the crib, was a name, written in Gallifreyan. The sparkling gold name shone brightly against the Tardis blue walls. As I looked down at the child in Rose's arms, the image shrunk away, and I was left with a projection of the girl I love, instead of the real thing.
"No. It's mum. She's three months gone. More Tylers on the way." She laughed, but it was so sad, and so unlike her bright and bubbly giggle.
"And what about you?"
"Yeah, I'm back working in the shop."
"Oh, good for you." I chuckled to myself, thinking of how we met.
"Shut up. No, I'm not. There's still a Torchwood on this planet. It's open for business. I think I know a thing or two about aliens." I was so proud of her. Even though we weren't together, she was still doing what she did best, saving people, like she did me.
"Rose Tyler, Defender of the Earth. You're dead, officially, back home. So many people died that day and you've gone missing. You're on a list of the dead. Here you are, living a life day after day. The one adventure I can never have." I was crying now, trying to restrain the tears, and hold them back for her. I wanted to show her that I'd be okay, and that I wouldn't be alone, even though I knew that was far from the truth
"Am I ever going to see you again?"
"You can't." She let out a massive sob, and all I wanted to do was take her in my arms, and never let her go.
"What're you going to do?"
"Oh, I've got the Tardis. Same old life, last of the Time Lords." I grinned, but she could read me to well. She could see all of the emotions that I was trying so hard to bury, I wanted to be strong for her.
"On your own?" I couldn't bear the thought leaving her. Although she wouldn't be alone, she wouldn't be with me.
"I... I love you."She covered her face with her hands, trying to shield the view of the tears violently streaming down her face.
"Quite right, too." She looked at me, with her light brown eyes. " And I suppose, if it's one last chance to say it, Rose Tyler, I..." She was gone.
"I-love you......" I choked out, but she was gone
"BRING HER BACK!!" I raced around the console, trying to re-establish the link. I ran my fingers through my hair, and pulled at it, trying to pull an idea from my brain. I flicked various leavers and turned dials, trying to bring her back so I could tell her just how much I loved her. I ran to the doors, wiping the tears from my eyes, and flung them open. The burning, dying star was gone. All that remained was darkness. I slammed the doors shut, and then opened them again, praying that it was only my mind playing tricks on me, and that I could say goodbye properly. The darkness remained, and I closed the doors, and walked back to the console. So many different emotions burned in my veins at that moment, but the main one, was anger. I picked up the coat rack and threw it against the wall. A loud crash wrung through the air as I picked up the mallet from the floor. I walked over to the walls, and smashed the glass covering on several lights. I carried on, in a blitz of striking and hearing the smash, the glass laying in shattered shards on the floor. My hand was bleeding but I didn't care. My anger turned everything numb, and I felt no pain. I threw the mallet across the console room, watching as several more lights shattered. I collapsed in a heap on the floor, the glass cutting through my clothes and scratching at my skin.
