Pacing the floor outside Donna’s room, the Doctor debated if he should use his sonic screwdriver to unlock the door.   He didn’t want to impose on her privacy but his inner instincts were screaming at him to go in and see what was going on with Donna.  

Deciding to listen to his instincts he pulled out his screwdriver, unlocking the door he opened it calling out softly, “Donna, I am coming in.” 

Receiving no reply he entered and moved slowly to the side of the bed, sitting gently on the edge he noticed the pill bottle on its side, with all the little tablets scattered on the side table. Reading the label his heart constricted with fear.

Bringing his attention back to Donna he brushed her hair aside exposing her unfocused open eyes to him. Startled at first, because he expected her to be asleep, the Doctor whispered quietly, “How many Donna?”

Donna replied timidly, knowing that he was asking how many pills she had taken, “Just two, no more.”

Releasing the breath he was holding in, a sense of relief flooding through his body. Caressing her cheek he asked, “How long have you been on them?”

Moving her head so her eyes bore into his, “A month after you left, I started them.”

“Why, Donna I thought you were okay.”

Reacting to his statement, rising up from the bed she allowed the anger she was feeling to come forth, “In one day I found out that the man I loved and was going to marry, hated me and was going to feed me to a big spider, I was chased after by robots that wanted to kill me, I saw the spider empress, suffer because of the loss of her children, and finally I met a man that isn’t a man that terrified and excited me at the same time. Now you tell me why the hell, do you think I went on those pills.”

Backing away slightly because of Donna’s ranting the Doctor for the first time was not sure what to say, so he did the smart thing and didn’t say anything at all. 

Laying back onto the bed Donna used her arm to cover her eyes before continuing, “When we started traveling together I kept taking them for a bit, but stopped when my nightmares went away…but something changed…never mind spaceman just let me sleep and I will be better in the morning.” 

Turning over on her side so her back was toward the Doctor she fought back the tears, determined not to cry while he was in the room.

Slowly the Doctor rose from the bed scooping up the small pills and placing  them back into the container, questioning what happened that made her feel that she needed the medicine again. Walking toward her door he was about to leave when he heard a muffled cry from Donna. 

Changing his mind he moved back to her bed, sitting down on it he removed his suit coat and his shoes. Lying down next to her he placed his chest against her back. Wrapping his arms around her waist he pulled her close to him and kissed her hair, “Go ahead and cry Donna, I am right here, I will take care of you I promise.”

Snuggling in his embrace Donna allowed the tears to come, responding to the offer of solace he gave her. As her sobs turned into hiccups, she felt herself succumb to sleep thinking that maybe she should not have doubted his friendship or affection for her.

The Doctor lay silently beside Donna giving her as much support as she wanted with his embrace. Soon he sensed her going to sleep; pulling her closer to him; he loved the way her body molded next to his.   Closing his eyes, he breathed in her scent, and wondered if the thing that changed for her was the same thing that changed for him. 

His feelings for this wonderful, beautiful woman, in his arms had changed from friendship to something more, as they have traveled together. If Donna felt the same way, there were going to be a lot of things discuss in the morning. But for now he would lay next to her and dream of loving the women in his arms and thinking of ways he could show her his love daily.

Oh Doctor! He's the right kind of medicine a girl needs :P

Have you seen the pictures of David Tennant and Catherine Tate for the Shakespheare play they're in? This sort of reminds me of it.

I have seen the publicity photos but none of them on stage. Of course the Doctor is the right medicine for Donna but sometimes he just needs a push in the right direction.
