A/N 2: Wow, seems like forever since I last posted a fic. ^_^
No spoilers for End of Time, but this is my take on what happens after.
“Hello, Spaceman.”
Her voice is gentle and brings a slight lump to his throat when he realizes just how much he has missed that certain term of endearment. It takes him a moment to tear his gaze away from those loving blue eyes of hers and takes a hold of her out stretched hand.
He breathes out her name with a trembling sigh, the time without her has taken its toll on him and with a quick movement he crushes her to him, smiling as her laughter bursts into his ear and her own arms wrap around his thin frame.
“Not quite.” She tells him as she rests her face into his shoulder.
Pulling away from her, his head nods in agreement, “Right, the DoctorDonna.” He swallows past the lump before continuing, “How I have missed you.”
Her hand comes up and touches his cheek lightly, “Me too, I’ve been waiting for you. Of course I knew you would try and delay as long as possible. You always were stubborn.”
The Doctor smiles brightly as he leans into her hand, “We have time now, don’t we?”
“Oh Yes!” She replies as she tightens her hands on his shoulders showing off her own dazzling smile.
He pushes back a strand of red hair from her face before he presses his lips to hers, and he recalls the first time they shared a kiss, noting how this one is filled with love instead of down right surprise and desperation.
“Do you know what I wish?” He whispers once they pull away from one another and he rests his forehead against hers.
“What do you wish, Doctor?”
He takes a deep breath before answering, “I wish that I hadn’t been so afraid.”
The DoctorDonna tilts her head, “It’s alright, perfectly normal. If you recall, I was terrified too.”
He stares into her eyes, remembering those blue eyes of hers and how much fear was behind them when he had killed her.
“Will you ever forgive me?”
She nods as she wraps her arms around his neck, “I already have, my Doctor.”
He bends down to kiss her again, knowing that they will actually get their ‘forever’ after all.
