"Just." John stuttered entering the ship Rita standing behind him. The ship rocked and he lurched against the switches pressing them.

"Just stop the bombardment. That's all I'm asking. I'll do anything you want, just, just stop." He begged.

"Say please." Baines snapped.

"Please."

"Wait a minute." Jenny interrupted deeply sniffing the air. "Still human. Both of them now." She snapped her eyes at Rita.

"Now I can't, I can't pretend to understand, not for a second, but I want you to know I'm innocent in all this, she is just an innocent as I am." He looked over at the brunette. "He made me John Smith. It's not like I had any control over it." He then tripped backwards running his hand over more switches.

"He didn't just make himself human. He made himself an idiot." Jenny cackled.

"Same thing, isn't it?"

"I don't care about this Doctor and your family. I just want you to go. So I've made my choice. You can have him. Just take it, please! Take him away." John shakily handed the watch over. Baines then grabbed him by the lapels after grabbing the watch.

"Don't think that saved your life." He pushed him away causing him to stumble backwards hitting the wall as well as the brunette.

"Family of Mine, now we shall have the lives of a Time Lord." Baines breathed opening the watch. The family then sniffed deeply looking at the pair. "It's empty!" He hissed angrily.

"Where's it gone?"

"You tell me." He threw the watch over and the Doctor caught it without looking while he looked over at Rita grinned.

"Oh, I think the explanation might be you've been fooled by a simple olfactory misdirection." He said in his normal voice standing up before holding out a hand helping the Time Lady to stand up. "Little bit like ventriloquism of the nose. It's an elementary trick in certain parts of the galaxy." He explained then looked at the controls. "But it has got to be said, I don't like the looks of that hydroconometer, Stone?"

"Yeah." She nodded. "You are quite right, I don't like the look of it either." Rita leant over looking at it.

"It seems to be indicating you've got energy feedback all the way through the retrostabilisers feeding back into the primary heat converters." The Doctor nodded. "Oh. Because if there's one thing you shouldn't have done, you shouldn't have let me press all those buttons."

"Never let a a prisoner near buttons, especially if that prisoner is the Doctor." Rita waved a finger at them. "But, in fairness, I believe he will give you a word of advice. One single three letter word." She looked at the Doctor raising a brow. He then grabbed her hand before coldly looking at the family.

"Run."

The Doctor and Rita ran out of the ship as the alarms started to blare. They heard Baines screaming behind them running in the same direction as them. "Get out! Get out!"

----------------------------------------------------------------

"I tried to warn them." Rita sighed after explaining to Martha what she and the Doctor had done to the family. "I needed to give them the choice, to walk away and die in peace hurting no one or we would give them their wish of living forever.

"After everything they did?" Martha looked at her in slight shock.

"The Doctor always gives one chance. I never gave them a chance." She replied leaning against the TARDIS beside Martha on a hill near where the village stood in her normal clothes. They saw the Doctor slowly walking up in the rain alone. Both girls sighed knowing that she declined the offer.

"Right then." He said walking up to them. "Molto bene!"

Martha looked at him hugging her arms on the cold. "How was she?"

"Time we moved on." He muttered.

"If you want, I could go and-"

He then cut her off repeating his last words. "Time we moved on."

"Er, I meant to say, back there, last night. I would have said anything to get you to change."

"Oh yeah, of course, you would. Yeah." He nodded.

"I mean, I wasn't really-"

"Oh, no, no." He shook his head.

"Good."

"Fine."

"So here we are then."

"Here we are Martha." Rita chuckled. "Told you we would back soon didn't I?" She grinned.

"I never said." He looked between them. "Thanks for looking after me. Both of you." The Doctor then walked closer opening his arms and hugging them both.

"Doctor. Martha. Stone." Latimer walked up to them.

"Tim Timothy Timber." The Doctor beamed.

"I forgot how much you opened your mouth." Rita laughed. The Doctor rolled his eyes at her then turned to the boy.

"I just wanted to say goodbye. And thank you. Because I've seen the future and I now know what must be done. It's coming, isn't it? The biggest war ever."

"Tim you don't have to, your a clever boy."

"You don't have to fight," Martha added.

"I think we do." He protested.

"But you could get hurt."

"Well, so could you, travelling around with him," he nodded to the Doctor. "but it's not going to stop you. Either of you." His eyes looked over to the brunette.

"Tim, I'd be honoured if you'd take this." The Doctor handed the fob watch to him.

He held it up then looked at them. "I can't hear anything."

"It's just a watch now that he's not in there." Rita nodded patting the Doctors arm.

"But keep it with you, for good luck." The Doctor added.

"Look after yourself." Martha went over hugged him and kissed his cheek. The Doctor held open the door, Rita and then Martha headed inside.

"You'll like this bit." The Doctor grinned walking into the TARDIS himself as it dematerialised.

"That's it then." Rita sighed plopping herself into the jump seat.

"It is indeed." The Doctor chuckled sitting beside her.

"I'm going to go sleep, it's been a long night," Martha muttered quickly heading towards her room. Rita shrugged looking back at her friend then turned as the Doctor sighed. She noticed he was staring at her, she didn't know why and it made her slightly uneasy.

"Are you okay Doctor?" She asked from the jumpseat seeing the look in his eye showing that he was very much deep in though. He slowly nodded before walking over, reaching into his coat pocket bringing out a crumpled piece of paper and handing it to her without saying a word, sitting next to her on the jump seat. She frowned taking it from his hand when he held it out to her.

"Was everything you said... true?" He blurted out breaking the silence as she un-crumpled the paper revealing a drawing similar to the one 'John Smith' drew. This one however held much more detail as well as the Time Lady mid laugh in her usual clothes of her current body as well as being drawn in pencil.

"What do you mean?" She asked looking at him. "I'm assuming you drew this?" She raised a brow and he slowly nodded.

"Everything you said, everything Martha said, did you mean it?"

"Mean what?" She asked. "Doctor your slightly scaring me." She looked at him warily

"Stone." He looked into her eyes, both his hearts pounding in his chest. "Did you mean it when you said you loved me?" Her eyes snapped up to his, her mouth suddenly became very dry and she felt like her voice was trapped.

"I... why does this matter?"

"What if it was true... for me?" He looked at her seriously.

"Doctor this isn't the time for one of your jokes, seriously you're scaring me."

"But I'm not." He protested taking her hand in his. "Stone..." he took in a sharp breath. Was this it? Was he finally stepping over the hurdle after knowing her for centuries, his feelings going back and forward. "I love you." He brought his hand up to her cheek softly pulling her closer placing his other hand on the back of her neck letting her lips connect with his in a slow tender kiss. His hearts pounded in his chest when her soft lips met his for the first time in a couple of months, the first time she was sure. Quite possibly the first and last. But he didn't care because at least he had tried. Tried to show her. To love her. It was all he could do. "I don't know why you think I don't love you, Stone." he murmured after they parted. His breath hitting her lips with how close they were to hers. The Time Lords sharing each breath they took.

"You never said anything." She muttered taken back by his previous words and actions her eyes drifting to the floor. "After the whole burn with me incident, I waited two weeks." She swallowed cringing at how impatient she sounded. "You didn't mention it... and I thought that you regretted it, that you thought it was a mistake, so I never said anything because I didn't want to hurt our friendship." She sighed looking up into his soft, warm and welcoming brown eyes. "Doctor we have been friends for centuries. I can't risk hurting that because of my actions."

"Oh Stone." He lent his forehead against hers wrapping an arm around her waist. "When I looked into your eyes they showed fear, fear of admitting it to even yourself, I didn't say anything because I didn't want to push you. I wanted you to figure it out on your own terms and not mine."

"But I still don't understand." She moved her head from his looking down at the crumpled paper in her hand. "When did you draw this?"

"When we came back to the TARDIS after sorting out the family, Matron gave me the page of a drawing of you that she found folded up in the book, it triggered some... memories and one of them you said about getting your friend to draw you, so you could then compare. It doesn't take a genius to know you were talking about me... So I drew you before coming back, it's a ruff drawing and no where near by best work..."

"I love it." She cut him off sighed happily closing her eyes then opening them looking into his shaking her head. "I love you." She swallowed suddenly becoming very nervous, seeing him frozen. "Theta?" She telepathically questioned slightly scared that he wasn't replying before she saw him blink once, twice and then dart his eyes down to her lips. 

"I love you too." The Stone softly smiled and slowly leant forward tenderly kissing him again. Closing his eyes he accepted her kiss smiling into it. She placed her arms around his neck. She then pulled away to tease him while smirking.

"Cheeky." He chuckled.

"Oh, I'm the cheeky one?" She raised a brow shaking her head and smirking.

He didn't reply closing the gap between them again kissing her once more. She smiled into the kiss running a hand through his hair as they both deepened it.

"Stone" he spoke into her mind while kissing her. "Please tell me if I'm dreamingbecause nothing like this has even happened between us before."

"Definitely not dreaming Doctor." 

"Okay." She lightly pulled away a hand coming up to rest on his cheek as she smiled giving him the strength to continue knowing he was going to speak. "What does this now means for us?"

Shifting her eyes to gaze at the ground while she thought the Doctor forced her to look back up at him. A finger gently pulling her chin up her eyes meeting his. "Well." She teasingly dragged out the word like he had done multiple times before earning a light chuckle from him, the only sound to escape his lips as she continued to telepathically speak to him. "We could.." she paused yet again seeing him practically begging her to continue with his eyes. "Oh, what do humans call it. It's on the tip of my tongue." She sighed staring into his eyes.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." He chuckled again letting his forehead rest against hers

"Oh, I know..." she grinned. "boyfriend and girlfriend. " She then gave him an uncertain look now worrying about his reply. The Stone looked down again when he didn't answer her. The Doctor noticed this, got up and gently placed a finger under her chin forcing her to look up at him.

"For you, I'll try anything." The Doctor grinned at her widely before kissing the brunette deeply slightly pushing her against the jump seat with him hovering over her using the jump seat to keep himself up. She smiled into the kiss happier that she was sharing this moment with him than anyone in the entire universe.

----------------------------------------------------------------

After Martha had woken up the Doctor agreed after Rita and Martha badgered him on to go and see Timothy after the war, they knew it lived and wanted to say thank you and goodbye.

"You knew he was a war hero didn't you?" The Doctor smirked looked at Rita as she walked with him and Martha to stand on the opposite side of the street to the quiet war memorial.

"I do my research." She winked placing a poppy on her shirt before handing one to Martha. They stood watching and Rita sighed seeing the Doctor struggling to pin his on. Rolling her eyes she took the poppy from his hand pinning it to the lapel of his suit before smiling, linking her arm with his and watching Timothy paying their respects. They nodded at the older man who sat in a wheelchair as he smiled at them a tear running down his cheek. Nodding their heads again the three silently left heading back to the TARDIS.
