A/N:  I'm not sure how many chapters this is going to be at the moment.  At least three, probably closer to six.  I'm notoriously bad at sticking to a chapter count when I put one down.  Here's a link to the first story in the series:  http://amberfocus.livejournal.com/36302.html.  All stories are now linked to the following story in the series.

Chapter One: Something’s Got to Give

A/N:  Yeah, it kind of morphed into five chapters and it's possible it'll go to six chapters.  Mickey had some things he needed to say.  Recognizable dialog is from the episode The Girl in the Fireplace.

                                                                       Chapter Four: Return

“If he was gonna find a way back he’d have done it by now,” Mickey says eying her sitting stubbornly in front of him. She has come onto the command deck of the space ship the same way she’s done every morning since the Doctor and the time window disappeared into 18th century France and taken up residence, her back against the hull where she’d last seen him.

 

                                                                     Chapter One: Cracked

Rose has spent too much time hoping that having Mickey on board the ship is going to be okay but she still resents his presence there every bit as much as she thought she would when the Doctor invited him on board. How is she supposed to work on fixing her relationship with the Doctor with Mickey constantly underfoot and hovering like he is? She knows she’s being unfair to her ex. He has been so worried about her since finding out she is pregnant, been so worried when her relationship with the Doctor had almost broken. Mickey Smith is a good man. He’s just not the man Rose wants to see right now.
