[IC] Live to fight another day(me and AreYouMyMummy)

[Magic223]

The Doctor had only just been released from hospital. He was feeling very drained. He knew there was still alot that he wanted to do. He needed to check on the TARDIS. He had been sick in hospital for two weeks.
He was still quite unwell. He curled up in his bed. His tea was on the nightstand by the bed. He knew Rose had been really worried about him. He was coughing badly and he moaned a bit.

He was feeling quite useless being in bed. He sits up and looked around. He still wanted to get up. He knew that he had to make sure that the TARDIS was all in working order, He wanted to go somewhere as well.
The Doctor didn't seem to be thinking about his weakened immune system. He just wanted to explore the universe. He still had a bad headache as well. It had been weeks since he had been well enough to travel. He still wasn't quite well enough.

"Rose." He called. His eyes looked towards the door to his bedroom. He didn't want to rest. It was boring. Not getting an answer , He figured she hadn't heard him and was further in the TARDIS.
He tried to get up. The Doctor staggered and leaned on the wall.
He held his head, he knew that he had been servely ill. Rose had been afraid to die, as much as he hadn't wanted to go to hospital Rose had basically made him. He hadn't been able to keep down any food and had a very high fever. He still wasn't hungry.
The Doctor was sure he would have up and down moments. He had vomited soon as he got back to the TARDIS earlier that day. He was determined to not let it bother him.

[AreYouMyMummy]

Rose paced around the console room, waiting for the tea to boil. She wrung her hands in worry. What was she going to do? She couldn't bear it if the Doctor died. She herself hadn't slept for days and she barely left his bedside.
"Rose," She heard a voice calling out to her. The Doctor needed her. Picking up the tea and setting it on a tray, she rushed to find his room. She always had trouble finding all the rooms on the TARDIS. It's like they kept rearranging themselves. When she finally found his room, she struggled to open the door, awkwardly balancing the tray while she fiddled with the handle. When she finally managed to get the door open, she nearly broke into tears at the sight. "Doctor," She set the tray down on a chair and tried to help the man back into his bed. "You shouldn't be standing," She quavered. "You know you're sick."

[Magic223]

"Rose," The Doctor sighed "I've been sick for weeks, I'm bored of staying in bed." He was looking at her, He wanted to go and check on the TARDIS. He coughed and lay back on his bed. He could see she was worried.
"You are worrying too much, "
He smiled a bit seeing her close to tears.

"I'm not dying Rose," The Doctor coughed. He was sure she would be worried no matter what he said. His eyes were dull. But he did still want to travel "I need to check on the TARDIS and we need to move,"
He was sweating from a fever and was looking at her.

[AreYouMyMummy]

Rose looked at the Doctor and sighed shakily. "We can't travel with you like this. Y-you've got to stay in bed." she pleaded, kneeling down by the bed. She knew the Doctor was tired of staying in bed, but she just couldn't. She couldn't let him go. She knew could die. "I-I can't see you die," she choked.

[Magic223]

The Doctor sits up and hugged Rose. " I won't die Rose." He was leaned back against his pillows. He was sure he woud be alright. He sighed a bit. He was sure he would go crazy if he had to spend any longer in his bed.
He wasn't sure he could convince Rose to let him do anything.
The time lord knew she loved him.
The Doctor curled up in his blankets, He was rather tired despite all he was saying. He was paler and much more thinner. He knew he had always been thin as well in this incarnation. He rubbed his aching head.
"Well unless you count dying of boredom." He coughed. He had a bucket by his bed.

[AreYouMyMummy]

Rose gave a tentative laugh. She examined the Doctor, weighing her options. The past weeks had been exhausting, for both the Doctor and her. How does one take care of a sick Time Lord, anyway? What was wrong with him? She breathed in carefully, then let it out. "All right," She breathed. "but please be careful." She got up from where she was kneeling and held out a hand for the Doctor to take.

[Magic223]

The Doctor was looking at her " I feel vile.... oh... that word doesn't even do it." he was still feeling awful. He knew why Rose was worried "Yup... I'll be careful." He just wanted to do something other than sleep and waste his day. He had been so ill, he almost didn't even remember what it was like to have fun.
He groaned as pain shot through his middle. He cried. But he was trying to not let it stop him, The tears were falling down his face. He was still sure boredom was going to drive him crazy. He took his bucket and threw up.
He breathed deeply. "Ok maybe bath....... I feel gross." He looked a mess too. He needed to get to the console at some point. The TARDIS seemed to humm in concern, not wanting him to overdo it.

[AreYouMyMummy]

Rose looked on with unease as the Doctor retched into his bucket. This wasn't a good idea.

She waited in the console room as the Doctor took a bath, worrying. "What should I do?" She distressed. She looked at the TARDIS control panel, looking at all the buttons and switches. She still didn't know what they all did.

[Magic223]

The Doctor slowly made his way to the bathroom and ran a bath. His legs were all shaky. He knew that he needed to get up and move around. He felt stiff and useless. He knew all attempts to eat was failing.
He needed food, he just wasn't hungry and couldn't stomach it.
The Time lord knew that Rose was very worried. He relaxes in the tub and gets out when hes done washing up. He gets a towel and gets changed into his suit. He slowly makes his way to the console room.

[AreYouMyMummy]

Rose looked up to see the Doctor walking or rather hobbling into the console room. "Careful," She murmured, rushing over to support the Doctor on his way to the console.

[Magic223]

The Doctor walked over to the console. He smiled and looked at the console. He was glad to be back in his ship. "Oh hey... I am fine." He was telling the TARDIS, He stroked the console. He coughed, he would often talk to his ship.
He looked at Rose "Thanks," He rasped. He started flicking controls.
He was sure that he would need to sleep at some point today. While flying the TARDIS, he fell asleep. The ship luckily switched to auto pilot.

[AreYouMyMummy]

When Rose noticed the Doctor starting to fall asleep, she eased him over to a chair and sat him down. She sat beside him for a while, stroking his head.

[Magic223]

The Doctor seemed to vunerable while asleep, He mumbled in his sleep and hugged one of Rose's arms. He looked so drainned. He was coughing and groaning. His hearts seemed to be beating more normally then they had when he was in hospital.
He slept for awhile and barely moved, He was tired and weak.
The TARDIS hummed softly, The Doctor had put in some alien planet, but instead the TARDIS had ingored that and was taking them somewhere safe.

[AreYouMyMummy]

Rose frowned slightly, brushing back the Doctor's hair frown his forehead. "Ah," She cried softly. It nearly burnt her. How? She gazed perturbed at the Doctor. He looked so tired, so worn. It was nearly pitiful. She sniffed, wiping back the tears that threatened to spill.

[Magic223]

"Rose...," He mumbled in his sleep. The Doctor was breathing deeply. He started to have bad dreams. The TARDIS landed this time barely jolting them. The time lord merely moaned and curled up.
His body was weak and he needed to rest, even if he didn't want to.
The Doctor awoke gasping from his bad dream, he had tears.

[AreYouMyMummy]

Rose started when the Doctor woke up. "Shh, shh.. It's okay," Tears streamed down her face as she stroked his head. He was sweating. Rose breathed shakily. "It'll be okay. I don't know how, but it will. I will find a way. I will try.. to, to fix you." Her voice cracked, but she tried her hardest to not break down in front of the Doctor. He couldn't know how much it hurt her to see him this way. She wouldn't let him see.

[Magic223]

"I'll be fine... alien illness sometimes can last awhile if they are bad ones, " The Doctor was looking at Rose. He didn't want her to cry. He tried to comfort her "I promise I won't leave you." He smiled softly.
He blinked a bit and looked at the desintion on console. "Hah? I don't remeber chosing there." He knew it must have been the TARDIS. He coughed and goes to get a glass of water , He sits by Rose again.

[AreYouMyMummy]

Rose smiled wearily, running her hands through her hair, as the Doctor sat down beside her. "Where are we, then?" She asked, looking at the Doctor, eyebrows creased.

[Magic223]

"Somewhere totally safe and boring." he rolled his eyes "Somewhere the TARDIS hopes I can stay out of trouble." He grinned. He was more likely to look for trouble, even if he had to walk. He though still considered moving the ship.
The Doctor sneezed and grabbed his tissues.
He was still shivering a lot.

[AreYouMyMummy]

Rose looked down into her lap, brow furrowed. It was bad enough that they always ran into trouble, but the Doctor always seemed to go off looking for it. And right now, that was definitely not a good idea. Rose stood up. "I want to see where we are." She stated. "Care to come with me?"
