I will be with you forever-a TenRose fanfic

Part 5- It's the Doctor!

Vanessa and I are drawing pictures on the kitchen table when I hear the screech of the tardis landing. I figure it is just my imagination but then Vanessa says "mummy, what's dat?" So I walk to the window and peer out of the curtains, searching in vain for a blue police box. I see nothing. I turn around and say to Nessa "nothing sweetie. Can I see your picture?"
"Not yet mummy." "Alright sweetie."

A few minutes later I hear a knock at the door. I walk over and open the door. The Doctor is standing outside with the biggest smile on his face. I feel so many emotions at once, joy, anger, sadness, joy again, confusion... My eyes go wide. "D-doctor." I stutter. "Wha-how-who-?" I whisper. He immediately wraps his arms around me. I breathe in the scent of him, something I haven't smelled in a long time... He puts one hand behind my head and whispers through my hair "I told you I'd come back. I'll always come back."

Nessa crawls up to me and tugs on my skirt. "Who dat?" She asks, looking up at me with big eyes. I lift her up and say "Doctor, this is Vanessa, our daughter. Nessa, this is your daddy." Vanessa repeats "dada" a few times, and laughs. The doctor is staring at her with wide eyes, yet I can tell he loves her more than life itself. He reaches out and touches her hand. She grabs it and giggles. "Dada" she says. "Dada."

I invite the doctor in for tea and we talk quietly while Vanessa finishes her drawing. "How did you get here?" I ask. "Well, I basically made some modifications to the tardis but it burned up entering your universe so I need to fix that, but I told you I would never give up on you." "And you waited TWO YEARS?!" I hiss. "There were Daleks, and modifications take time, Rose!" Whispers the doctor. "I thought you would be happy I was here!" "Well I could have used you sooner, a phone call maybe, something? I raised our daughter by myself!" "Rose, I can't just jump between universes whenever I please!" "Of course you can, you're the doctor! You're a time lord! And I have no idea how to raise a human/time lord baby! I need you!" I will myself not to cry. I'm done crying. He's done so much to me... yet I still need him, as much as I wish I didn't. "You're being ridiculous!" Says the doctor angrily.

"Fine, doctor, leave. I don't need you, and most importantly, I don't love you anymore." I regret those words as soon as I say them. I can see him being shattered into a million tiny pieces as his brain repeats my words, each one a blow to his heart. He storms out the door and I run after him, calling "Doctor, wait!" I catch up to him and touch him lightly on his shoulder. He whirls around, the most angry I've ever seen him, with tears trickling down his cheeks, and yells "If you don't love me, fine, I'll just leave." I begin to explain but he cuts me off. "Don't, Rose, just, just don't." He walks away, wiping the tears off his cheeks, back to the tardis and slams the door shut. Of course he can't leave, the tardis is broken!

I run up to the tardis door and knock frantically. I shout "Doctor, let me in!" Yet no response. I figure I should come back later. I walk sullenly back to my apartment, tears stinging my eyes and dripping down my cheeks.
