You're What?: Chapter Six

Chapter 5:  http://amberfocus.livejournal.com/72863.html
A/N:  Okay, this chapter may make you a wee bit irritated with the Doctor's behavior.  He's going to get a major revelation in the next chapter, though, so just hang with the git behavior a little while longer.  And hope Rose is willing to forgive him. 

Dissemble

 

The Doctor frowned as he entered the infirmary and saw Jack caressing Rose’s foot. The other man’s familiarity with the woman was grating and annoying and all he wanted to do was knock his hand away, possibly knock the man to the floor then pull Rose out of the machine and show Jack just who the woman belonged to. He pulled himself together sharply. If he was going to send Rose away to live with Jack he was going to have to accept that his place as Rose’s lover was about to be usurped and there was nothing he could do to change it as it was an event that would be of his own making.

Chapter 6:  http://amberfocus.livejournal.com/74602.html

Future Intended

 

At first Rose had fought the Doctor tooth and nail when he’d laid out his plans to teach her and Jack all they’d need to know to make it through the pregnancy and the childhood of her son so he could leave them behind on Earth.  She’d recognized his cruel words for what they were: a desperate attempt on his part to drive her away.  She called him on it with a fury he’d never seen in her before.  When that hadn’t worked she’d done everything in her power to make him change his mind, from crying to begging to pleading to trying to seduce him.  The last was nearly his downfall.

 

Even having calm and rational conversations with him had gotten her nowhere.  He’d stood firm in his resolve, unwilling to have his mind changed for anything, though he never said anything deliberately hurtful to her again because he couldn’t bear to break her like that again.  Four weeks had passed before she finally came to him with quiet acceptance.  “Okay,” she told him all warmth gone from her eyes, her expression completely flat.  “Teach me what I need to know.”
