Once More, With Feeling -- Rose/10

[A Moment In Subtext]

Doctor Who
Once More, With Feeling
By. A Moment In Subtext

It should happen like this:
The Tardis lands two months after the confrontation at Bad Wolf Bay. There's laughing and crying and hugging, and Jackie slaps him for telling Rose it was impossible. They don't go back to the other universe, because, hey, brand new universe to explore right here.
It should happen like this:
After the celebration dies down, and after they've travelled a bit, they come back to visit Jackie, and they stay for quite a while, helping her with her baby. Rose is delighted to be a big sister, and the Doctor almost doesn't mind being the honorary uncle. Or the godfather.
It should happen like this:
They get married on an alien planet, under an alien sky, by an alien minister, using alien customs, and it isn't recognized as a marriage back on Earth, so they don't bother to tell Jackie. She slaps him again when she finds out Rose is pregnant.
It should happen like this:
Their daughter and Jackie's son become best friends, and that doesn't change even though one is off travelling the universe. Jackie doesn't approve of not having the girl in school, but she does seem to be learning. They called her Fred, because the Doctor asked, and Rose, though she didn't understand why, agreed. The Doctor laughed when he explained the significance.
It should happen like this:
Rose uses the chameleon arch to make herself Gallifreyan so she can travel the universe with the Doctor forever. It works and eventually Fred leaves home and marries Mickey and Jake's adopted son, Nancy, whose name is in no way a shoutout to the wayside school books.
It should happen like this:
One day, many regenerations later, and travelling alone again, though visiting several groups of grandchildren and great grandchildren, there will be a catastrophe. And they will save the universe, but die in the process, and they will be honoured as heroes and remembered forever.
It happens like this:
After five years of waiting for the Doctor to prove himself wrong, Rose gets married to Mickey. They have a son, and a daughter by the time the Doctor gets back. Things are awkward for a while, then Rose leaves the children and Mickey to try to explore this new universe. But its a dangerous world out there, and they get injured, both physically and emotionally, every time they go out. Eventually, they retire to Earth, where Rose has her hands full trying to regain her position as mother and elder sister. The Doctor tries to stay out of the way. Running away again, they get married on an alien planet, under an alien sky, and then they get arrested for public lewdness, and the minster gets arrested for not actually being a minister. By the time they get out of the prison, Rose has another child. They dump the child with Mickey and Jake, who raise her with their son. The girls name is Fred, and when Rose learns why the Doctor chose that name, she hits him, hard. Rose uses the chameleon arch to make herself Gallifreyan, but it doesn't work right. She loses her memory, and most of her regenerations in the effort. Fred marries her half brother, Jackie's son, and their deformed baby is stillborn. She is shunned by the rest of the family, and runs back to Rose and the Doctor, who grudgingly allow her to stay with them. One day, many regenerations later, after Rose has died, and its just the Doctor and Fred, there is a catastrophe, and the Doctor decides, why the hell should he fix it? And, for once, the universe ends.
