Summary:

As the Doctor regenerates, Rose and Jackie try to help him as much as they can. Written for Whumptober 2023, day 2. Prompt used: thermometer.

“‘ow’s ‘e doing?” Rose asked, sitting down next to the Doctor, across from her mum.

“‘e’s a good temperature,” her mum replied. “Was running a fever before.”

“Let me check.”

Rose brushed his hair out the way — her Doctor didn’t have long enough hair to brush away, she tried to not think — and put her hand on his head. He felt like a normal temperature, but hadn’t he told her that Time Lords ran colder than humans?

“Mum, can you look after ‘im? I need to get something from the TARDIS.”

“What d’you think I’ve been doing?” Mum elbowed Rose gently. “Course I’ll keep an eye on him.”

Rose jogged lightly towards the TARDIS and stepped inside. The Doctor wasn’t organised at the best of times, and having narrowly escaped death was not the best of times. She rifled through a few of the immediately available boxes, before finding a thermometer underneath a shelf. She supposed the sonic screwdriver did all the work that other tools used to do for him.

Rose left the TARDIS, trying not to think about if it’d be the last time she set foot there, then she jogged back into her house, and went back to the guest room where the Doctor was.

“‘e still alright?”

“I didn’t kill ‘im in the five minutes you’ve been gone, if that’s what you mean.”

Rose scoffed, then pulled the thermometer out of her pocket.

“Do I just put it in his mouth?” she asked.

“Might want to rinse it, first. Who knows what’s been on it.”

“It was just on the floor, Mum.”

“It’s a time machine , you don’t know what’s been on that floor.”

“Fine, I’ll wash it.”

Rose rinsed it off in the bathroom. It was sort of… dusty, from sitting under a shelf for who knows how long.

“I’ve rinsed it, now do I put it in his mouth or what?”

“Underneath the tongue, I think.”

Rose maneuvered the thermometer and her mum checked the reading.

“It’s thirty-seven, that’s good.”

Rose shook her head. “That’s a fever for Time Lords.”

“It is?”

“Yeah, their average body temperature is lower than ours. Why’d you have ‘im in all these blankets?”

“If I don’t then he’s shiverin’ ‘imself half to death!”

Rose looked at the sleeping form of the Doctor, then turned away.

“I just…” she started, looking down at her hands. “I don’t know how to help ‘im, Mum.”

Rose turned to see her mum looking at her, with that sad expression on her face.

“‘e’s gone through so much ,” Rose continued. “And ‘e’s done so much for me, and I can’t do anythin’ for ‘im. I can’t help ‘im when ‘e’s sick, tryn’ to save ‘im only makes ‘im end up like this. ‘e’s so alone , and ‘e’s been through so much to help me, and I just wanna help.”

Her mum took Rose’s hands in hers, and looked her in the eye.

“Now, I don’t know your Doctor very well, but if ‘e’s as alone as you say ‘e is, then you’re ‘elpin’ ‘im just by bein’ there. Same way you ‘elp me and Mickey.”

Rose sniffed, then nodded. “Thanks, Mum.”

Her mum smiled, then let go of her hands. “Alrigh’, you should get some rest, Rose. Just come back from travellin’, and I’ve got the Doctor handled.”

“Wake me up if anythin’ happens?”

“Course I will. Now go, get some sleep!”

“Alright, Mum!”

As soon as Rose hit the pillow, she was fast asleep.

besties im gonna keel over and die

my english teacher was lowkey shaming us during class today because ‘we dont do the work that she gives us over the weekend’ and ‘this is only the third time she’s given us work over the weekend’ and she said a lot more but i basically disassociated during a good portion of it.

it was about an essay she wanted us to write this weekend, which i was hella busy this weekend with both additional online school work and mothers day and all that.

so idk it just sat wrong with me. so i just sent her an email like “hey sorry if this is in any way disrespectful but like i was doing all this stuff, yet i still stayed up really late to work on notes for this thing, and you still yelled at us...”

yall im so scared shes gonna get mad. can she get mad at that? idk i apologized like four times in that email but like,,, i just know shes gonna respond back like, “how dare you make me seem like im this big bad teacher im just trying to help you guys...”

i be shiverin and shakin in my boots rn

"Is there anything you can't stand about Arthur?"

“C-coldest feet you’ve ever met! Make ‘im wear two pair of socks to bed and I still wake up feelin’ like I’m in bed with blocks of ice! Worse is when he puts them against my thighs in his sleep to warm ‘em. Never woke up shiverin’ so fast.”
