A/N2: The song 'Call Me Maybe' inspired this story. Also sorry I haven't updated my other story 'Trying Not To Love You' but my muse is currently on holiday with it.
The Doctor spent most of his Saturday doing one of two things; he was either marking papers or thinking about Donna.
When seven arrived, the Doctor knocked nervously on Donna’s door and waited. When Donna answered the door the Doctor was gobsmacked. She was dressed in a dark green dress that clung to her in all the right places, and made him blush and swallow hard.
Smiling at her, the Doctor stuttered, “Wow....umm....uhhh....Donna, you look beautiful.”
Donna blushed and smiled shyly before she said, “Thanks. So, we going to go or are you just going to stare at me?”
Blushing, the Doctor held out his arm for her and they made their way to a local restaurant. Once they were seated, the Doctor ordered wine and they made small talk.
“So, Donna, I have been wondering for some time about how you ended up with Rose as a flatmate?” he asked somewhat nervously.
Donna could tell he was nervous that he might upset her but she didn’t mind answering. “Well, you see Rose’s mum, Jackie, knows my mum. She’s called Sylvia. Anyway, I had moved out of home and everything was going great. I was about to ask Martha to move in, when I got a call from mum asking if I could do her and Jackie a favour, and I stupidly said ‘sure’. Well, next thing you know Rose is on my doorstep,” she concluded.
“Oh,” was all he could say. The Doctor couldn’t help but be even more impressed with Donna.
The conversation was halted as dinner arrived, and that’s where things ended, because Donna got a phone call.
Smiling at the Doctor apologetically as her phone started to vibrate, she answered in a slightly annoyed voice, “Hello, Yes, I’m Donna Noble. Yes, I know Rose Tyler; what’s wrong?”
The Doctor couldn’t hear what was being said, but when Donna turned pale he knew it had to be something bad. He waited for Donna to hang up before asking what was wrong.
“Donna, what happened? What’s wrong?” he asked in a bit of a panic.
Looking at him she came out of her shocked stated to answer, “Martha and Rose were in an accident, I have to go.” Before the Doctor could say or ask anything Donna took off, getting up the Doctor threw down some notes on the table to pay for dinner and went after her.
Donna couldn’t believe Rose! How could she be so stupid and endanger Martha like this? Donna tried to flag down a cab but they seemed to all have customers. She spun around in fright when she felt a hand on her shoulder only to see John looking at her in concern. Unable to fight the tears anymore, Donna threw herself at John and sobbed.
When the Doctor caught up to Donna she was trying to flag down a cab unsuccessfully. He put his hand on her shoulder, accidentally causing her to turn around in fright. The Doctor was concerned by this, and it became worse when she broke down in tears and threw herself at him. The Doctor just hugged Donna tightly and waited for her to tell him what had happened.
When Donna had calmed down enough she realised that she was hearing two heartbeats from within John’s chest. She tensed a little bit as normally anything this unusual would have freaked her out a little or possibly made her curious; but she was too upset at that moment to deal with it, so she filed it away for a later date. Realising she was still hugging John; she stepped back in embarrassment and looked at him, knowing he would want to know what had happened.
When Donna had finished sobbing she unexpectedly tensed for a second, confusing the Doctor. He hoped she hadn’t detected his double heartbeat, as doing so would probably frighten her or at least make her ask awkward questions. Fortunately she did neither. He breathed a sigh of relief and was glad the accident had distracted her.
When she pulled back he smiled at her embarrassment and then decided it was ok to ask what happened.
“Donna, what happened?” he asked.
“Martha went to pick up Rose and take her home. Only apparently Rose didn’t want to go home! She wanted to come to find us; in fact she insisted, and Martha told her ‘no’. Then Rose thought she could just jerk the steering wheel away from Martha and out of her hands; causing them to swerve and smash right into a tree.”
The Doctor was shocked and heard Donna sob in a breath; so he wrapped her in another hug and smiled when she returned it.
Looking at Donna, the Doctor asked, “Do you want me to come with you to the hospital?”
Smiling slightly, Donna replied, “Yes, I would like that.”
As the Doctor turned to try and flag down a cab, he felt Donna tug on his hand softly. Turning to her he felt her thumb stroke his cheek before she kissed him softly on the lips.
When she pulled away and looked at him, the Doctor had the biggest grin on his face, causing Donna to blush again and look away.
Turning back, the Doctor managed to flag down a cab and they made their way to the hospital. Even though he was worried about Martha, and even Rose, a little part of the Doctor’s brain happily noted that Donna tasted as good as she smelt.
