It was a bit strange, having to call an ex-boyfriend. No matter how good of terms they may have been on, still was strange. However, her department of UNIT that she joined years ago after coming to the parallel world needed Mickey Smith’s help. A small smile curled on her lips, briefly pleased with how much her ex has developed into a stronger man.

She picks up the phone and dials his number while biting her lower lip.

“Rose? Please tell me you’re actually callin’ me in this time. I’m tired of being on the sidelines. Give me something to do, anythin’ to do.” Probably not the best way to start a phone call with his former girlfriend, but Mickey was desperate to be useful. He had been since they’d gotten the Cybermen sorted away.

Rose smiled sadly, knowing Mickey had been shoved aside quite a bit in his department. Perhaps it was good that this case up, then. Rose quickly snapped back in thought to the call.

“Righ’..remember how we dealt with the Cybermen? Well it turns out, they left a err-- ‘lasting legacy’. However, it’s not what you expect,” she began, looking at the small creature with a cautious glance then resuming back to her call. “You’re never going to believe it but there are Cyberdogs. Not quite a threat yet, bit complicated but somehow we have a puppy. He’s like -- bit of a mix of a real dog and a metal one,” she attempts to explain. Rose scratches at her hair nervously.

“We’re supposed to keep an eye on it since we know the technology. He’s been acting like a puppy so far.. Anyways, we need your help and we can’t killing him yet. Not a viable option.”

He was pacing. Waiting for UNIT to call him in was always the worst part of working with them. He dropped onto a bench, arms crossed. His luck they’d call him saying that they’d finished the job without him. Again. “Why would they even ask for my help if they don’t need it?”

He pouts at her words. “No,” he says stubbornly, “it’s not alright. And I’m sure all of Torchwood doesn’t love us! I love you, more then all of them. So, I compromise we tell them the shower is cancelled and I could take off this dress of yours and we could really celebrate.”

However, her touches are light and delicate and it soothes his nerves and soon he’s leaning into her touch, kissing her cheek.

Then she turns around and he holds her hands, kissing her nose and then she’s talking and telling him about her surprise. His eyes widened and his smile grows rapidly until he’s wrapping her in his arms. “That’s brilliant! That’s such a clever idea! You’re so clever. It doesn’t even matter what gender it is I will love either completely because it’s our baby Rose, you and I made it. Remember? We mad a baby, and now we’re figuring out what gender it is.”

He keeps rambling and he doesn’t even realize when he leaves her embrace as is pacing and jumping around the room frantically. He finally stops and kisses her and laughs. “I love you,” he says with a grin, not even hesitating the slightest.

The shower resumes then and the Doctor is fidgety the whole time. He’s jumping and staring at the cake and mumbling to himself with the biggest grin. It’s finally time for the cake and the Doctor walks over to it and grabs the knife, about to cut in the cake when he realizes something. He calls Rose over and puts both their hands on the knife. “Better with two,” he murmurs in her ear. “Together.” And then their cutting into the cake.

The shower went well. Rose attempted to enjoy her time with her friends and mum. Her eyes would occasionally flick to the Doctor. He was not so good with gatherings like this. However, he seemed to being well enough for her, She smiled and returned to her activities.

When it came time, she had found him to come cut the cake. Her belly flipped with nervousness. This was making the baby situation all the more real. As she steps aside to allow him to cut it, he calls her over and steps closer. His hand rests of hers on the knife and she grins. She looks up at him, love shining in her eyes and tears on the brink of her tear ducts. "Together," she confirms softly.

Rose gently guides his hand over the cake. With gentleness, they cut through the slice. She takes a deep breath as her eyes fall upon a pink center. Rose looks at the Doctor, tears now streaming from her eyes. "It's a girl...we're having a girl," she rasps.

She wraps her arms around his neck and weeps into his neck. They were tears mixed with happiness and relief. She nuzzles into him, for now ignoring the others who were chatting happily and eating the cake.

"Oh right," he says at the mention of the baby shower. He groaned. He didn’t really care for the shower, Rose decided to have one. And he didn’t want to say no when she was already mood swingy and morning sicknessey. Besides, it’s the least he could do for her who’s actually holding a child inside of her. At the last heated kiss, he somewhat regrets agreeing to this party as he holds her there to snog her, trying to get her to lay back down when she slides out of bed. He groans again, watching her bare form walk (waddle away).

“You’re so sexy,” he says from the bed, eyes at her bum. She tells him to brush his hair and then closes the door. He sits there for a moment, naked in bed, before the knock jousts him. He gets up and tells Jackie he’s just getting changed and lets her in. He puts on his clothes for the shower before going back out. He forgot to brush his hair and when Jackie sees, her face reddens and she opens her mouth to say something. “Yes! We shagged! We do that often Jackie.”

“I don’t need to know that!” She screeched, hitting his chest. “Keep you and my daughters shagging unmentioned at this shower, and this is my house! You’re lucky we’re having the shower here. Don’t shag on my bed sheets!” she says while wagging a finger. He nods, tying his shoes. He helps Jackie set up, them arguing like they do about the sign and the chairs and anything else for another hour until he decides to check on Rose.

He knocks on the door, noticing Pete and Tony walking in and he waves. He hated this to be honest. He didn’t want this shower, he just wanted to be with Rose and their wee one in there. What’s even the point of a baby shower? Couldn’t they just celebrate the pregnancy on their own. People began arriving slowly, some people Ros head invited, some Jackie had. He knocks on the door, already feeling himself sinking into one of his moods where he’s stubborn and rude and ignorant. So human.

“Rose?” He says impatiently from the other side of the door. “People are starting to arrive. I’m just gonna sit at our table.” He opens the door. He comes up behind her and zips up her dress, he sighed, trying to calm down with a sad, angry look on his face. He tries nuzzling her neck to calm down. “You look beautiful,” he tries, him just wearing a cardigan with a tie, he looked nice. “I don’t like this baby shower,” he mumbles grumpily, intertwining their fingers.

Rose had stepped out of the shower when she heard the Doctor answer the door for her mum. She snickered, knowing very well that the Doctor did not brush his hair. With a content hum, she begins to brush her long, blonde hair and looks at herself in the mirror. Her eyes fell to her naked, bulged belly and she could not help but smile. Sometimes she was still in such awe that she was having a baby. A baby with the Doctor. She caresses the baby bump and trances off for a moment.

Rose is broken from her trance by shrieking from her mum. She rolls her eyes as she hears something about signs and 'stupid part-alien'. Those two will probably always fight like two year olds. This probably meant she was going to be dealing with a grumpy Doctor. With a sigh, she slips on a casual coral dress and begins to do her make-up.

A few minutes later, she hears the Doctor enter and stand behind her. She emits a thankful hum as he zips up her dress and tilts back to give him a quick kiss. Rose continues with her mascara, eyeing the grumpy Doctor from the mirror. So, her suspicions were correct.

Rose laughs softly and shakes her head. She places down her mascara and turns to look at him. She gently squeezes  his shoulder. "Hey, it's gonna be alrigh'. They are here because they love us, Doctor. They can be excited for us too, okay?" she tries to coach. She lovingly caresses his jaw with the back of her hand.

"Now, I was going to wait to surprise you..but I think this may help. I have told my doctor that we wan to keep the gender a secret. Well, I let her tell mum and so she baked us a cake," she explains and is suddenly beaming. "I want you to cut the cake! If it's blue inside it's going to be a boy and if it's pink, we're going to have a girl!"

Rose's eyes were practically dancing in excitement with his. She gabs his hand and kisses his palm. "So, whaddya say? Can we try to have some fun, hm?" she says with a little pout.

Sorry We Are Apart [@humanywumanymetacrisis]

Both of them find their release and he sighs, slipping away from her and laying down next to her. “Hello,” he murmurs, kissing her slowly and tenderly. “I love you more,” he teases, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. He runs his hand over her abdomen, their baby growing there. “You’re going to be the best mother in the world,” he mumbles, kissing her. He pulls her closer, more and more kisses as he cups her face.

“Love you so much,” he says against her lips. He finds that he is not in any mood to get up and he just pulls more blankets on them, snuggling her.

“Rose,” he says, already sounding like a child on the verge to beg for something, “Roooooseee,” he pokes her cheek. “Can we stay in bed today? Please I’m so comfy and I just wanna be here with you,” he gives her the Oncoming Pout and puppy dog eyes, the two tools he knew she would never fail to resist and she could never deny.

Rose hums and returns his kisses, eyes closed. She revels in the warmth and her afterglow, not wanting to move. "Love you too," she murmurs sleepily. At his whining, her eyes peek open and she gives a little smile. Her hand reaches over to caress his cheek.

"I know, love. We have the baby shower though and that will be fun. yeah? Then we can snuggle all night, promise," she offers gently. Rose plants a long, but chaste kiss on his lips as if to seal the deal. She nuzzles his nose and rests her cheek on his shoulder with a content sigh.

Just a few moments of silence later, a knock is heard from their front door. Rose sighs and kisses the Doctor's chest, "That's probably mum. Can you go answer the door for me and help her set up? I need to put y dress on."

With a final kiss, a quick but heated one with her lips pressed firmly to his (and somewhat makes her regret her decision of having a party) she gets up and begins to waddle off into the bathroom. At the door way she pauses and spins back to look at the Doctor.

" -- Oh, and brush your hair. ,Mum's gonna make awkward shagging comments," she teases before finally closing the door to the bathroom and starting her quick shower.
