Although it ends so sadly, I love to think of them together back before Rose got pregnant. I imagine things to be so sweet and fresh and loving between them. It was almost perfect, and Rose just cannot picture herself with another. I imagine it like that too, whenever you mention it you paint it like everything was perfect and lovely :)
This idea was proposed by salimali very early in the writing of this story. It was a stroke of genius. It's funny actually, just as I was about to read the story I thought to myself, I wonder if the phones the Doctor left Kira and Rose will get used soon. I must be psychic :D
Rose doesn’t mean to be so callous here. She just doesn’t feel ready to tell him that she was lonely and missing him. I think she has the right to see if he would really come, maybe she could have been a bit clearer on the phone, but she does need to know that she can trust him again.
I think he does have a right to his anger here. I can see his point, Rose was a bit unclear on the phone but surely he must understand how Rose is feeling...
She keeps pushing him away, but she’s always a little vague about it. She never comes right out and tells him that he needs to leave and she never wants to see him again. She doesn’t know what she wants from him. I think that's what leads the Doctor on a lot, that Rose isn't clear about what she wants with him...
I think Rose is a little surprised by his anger. She expects him to let her get away with things because of what he did. And while he does this sometimes, he knows they need to get themselves on equal footing if they are to have a lasting relationship. I was a little surprised by his anger too, he has been very sweet to her about everything to try and get her to forgive him.
I was torn about this. Doesn’t Rose have a right to take as long as she needs, to be fickle with him? Wasn’t what he did to her so much worse? At the same time, I still felt it was unfair for her to keep hurting him like this. I dunno, really. I thought you wrote both sides of the argument excellently so that readers could understand how both Rose and the Doctor were feeling.
