Rose usually woke up alone. Which was okay, because she knew that the Doctor would get restless. Sometimes he would come back just before she woke up. Still in his pjs and hair ruffled in so many angles it looks like a ball of fuzz; but this morning she woke up before him. He was still nuzzled into her neck, arms still around her. Something was off, he was to tense to be sleeping. At least peacefully. She tried to close her eyes again, just allow him to hold her and maybe that'll calm him. Just as she began to fall back asleep, his arms tightened and she felt his chest heave from the dream.
"Rose." He whispered.
He obviously thought she was asleep. She turned around so he could see her. His eyes glistened with tears and he just looked at her. It was heart breaking; all she could think of was wrap her arms around him and tell him 'she was okay.' Or 'I'm still here.'
He rested his head on her shoulder, "I just don't wanna lose you."
"You aren't."
He shook his head slightly, "Rose, Time Lord dreams mean something. Not like humans and their emotions. But ours mean something is going to happen, something that relates to the dream. I think I'm gonna lose you."
At this point she was at the point of breaking down, but she held back her tears, "You're not gonna lose me."
She felt his body shake, she's never seen him like this; breaking down.
"Rose, you're human. I'm sorry, but I am going to lose you. I'll have to continue on without you. Live another life; be broken again."
"Isn't there something we can do?" Rose's voice cracked as she spoke.
He leaned back up to look at her. He gently wiped the tears from her cheeks and chuckled slightly.
"I'm glad to see you cry."
"Why?"
He shook his head, "Because you're starting to hold your emotions up, and it's only gonna hurt you."
"Emotions are stupid." She laughed slightly.
"Tell me about it." He laughed breathlessly.
Rose looked up at him, the golden specks in her eyes shining bright, "Doctor?"
"Hmm?"
"Do you know," She blushed slightly, "If you know- I could, uh. Getpregnantbecauseofyou."
The Doctor furrowed his eyebrows, "What?"
"Could I get pregnant with your child?"
"Why are you asking?"
Blood rushed to Rose's cheeks, "I asked a question first."
"I mean, I guess. There's a possibility, why?"
"I don't wanna leave you alone."
He smiled at her, "Oh my Rose."
"My Doctor."
He sighed and brushed of the hair out of her face, "I don't know what would happen."
"What'd you mean?"
"Like, the symptoms to the pregnancy would be, I could always research."
"Are you saying...." She didn't dare to finish the sentence. He didn't do domestics, why would he settle down now?
"I donno Rose, it's strange."
"How is it strange?"
"Because I this is new to me, all of it. I mean, I had a wife once, but it wasn't an affectionate relationship. It was more to be accepted than be happy." He looked down, "Rose, I've never felt like this before."
She pulled his chin back up and kissed him, "I know. It takes time."
"I have all of it."
She looked away and thought, I only have years of it.
