Work Text:
Rose returns home after an awful day at work. Firstly, she had to train newbies that couldn't make a difference between being discreet and firing at anything to get attention. Secondly, she had a tone of paperwork to do. And last but not least, the Doctor was sick. Which means that he wasn't in his lab at Torchwood during lunch and stayed home all day.
The first thing Rose notices when arrives at the door of her house is the enveloppe on the doorknob. She takes it and enters. She calls the Doctor but he didn't respond... So she decides to open the letter thinking that it will gives her the answers she needs.

Rose don't wastes any more time. She tosses the letter somewhere on the coffee table near her and runs towards their room. When she arrives she can't believes what she's seeing. There he is.. In the middle of the room... On one knee... Holding a box with a ring in it. Rose is about to give her response but the Doctor cuts her before she lets out a sound.
"Rose... I have past 900 years of my life convincing myself that I was destined to travel alone. To witnessed anyone that join me to leave. Then you came in the equation and make my life all wibbly-wobbly. I love you... You are best thing that happen to me. I literally became a new man for you. We promise forever to each other so let's sign a paper that legalize it... Rose Marion Tyler, will you marry me?"
"YES!" she says then jumps in his arms "But you announce it to mum."
"Could we not talk about your mother right now?"
"Depends if you have a better idea..." she says then do her tongue-touched smile.
"I think I might." he replies before kissing her.
