I don't get it!!

[milieva]

Where are people getting this suicide idea from? I mean, yeah, Nine has his suicidal moments, but he's not going to haul off and kill himself because he thinks he may have gotten Rose pregnant. It's not even definite that he did, so why would he kill himself? Or even do himself harm for that matter?

Would someone kindly explain this to me, because I am confused. *headdesk*

I think he explains the herbs to Rose soon. Maybe. But I think Jack my figure it out sooner, because I think he recognizes the smell. I'm not sure though.



Random preview of Part 6

The opening music of Strictly Come Dancing blared from the television. Jack pounced on the remote control and turned the volume down.

“Oh, that actor you like’s going to be on this year,” Jackie said as she walked out of the kitchen with a plate of food and a glass of water for Rose. “You know, the one with the hair. He’s in the movie with what’s-her-name.”

“Really, Mum?” Rose laughed. “That one?”

“Oh, shush, you,” Jackie scolded. “You know who I mean.”

“Hair?” Jack asked with an ornery grin. “I thought you were more interested in ears.”

Rose grabbed the decorative pillow and tossed it at his head, but he caught it and just kept going on, asking her about noses, blue eyes, jumpers, and small blue boxes. If she’d had more pillows she’d have pummeled him with them, and if they’d been on the TARDIS she might have thrown her food at him.

The more she reacted, the more Jack prodded. Laughing as she launched herself at him.

Suicide over possible preg??? Not quite gloomy depressive sort maybe but come on this man watched his whole planet die at his hand. Not thinking that preg would do him. As to preview, adorable can so see those two doing just that, Jack so has the bratty older brother streak, loving to tease in a kind hearted way.

[milieva]

I know. This is at least what I am getting out of some comments. I mean, he's not if a great place but he'll live. He doesn't even know for sure yet, so why would he start taking it, if that were the case.

Jack is ornery, and makes a great older brother figure. I can see him and Rose verbally sparing over random things like that. This is only part of the scene at that.

I assumed it's something to make sure that their current predicament doesn't reoccur, since he said that he wished he had gotten it before they visited the planet. Birth control, maybe? Can't wait to find out!

[milieva]

Thank you. I'm glad you picked that detail up. There was a reason he commented having wished he had it before Felton.

And Hello. Nice to see you aren't just going to lurk.

[kilodalton]

Hee thanks =) I didn't even have an LJ account til like a week ago. There are so many fics and groups on here that I like though, my Bookmarks folder was getting swamped so I figured best suck it up and make an account XD

[milieva]

Well, welcome to LJ. It's not a bad place to hang around. I've been here for years, and don't plan to leave, since I can always find communities for any new fandoms I might come across.

I noticed that you had picked me up as well as my fic comm, so I wondered if you would lurk, or actually comment. It's always nice to see who is reading and what they think, so I was hoping for the latter.

My concern was that the herbs were an abortifacient, given Rose's dream. That reminded me of an old hospital drama where a woman had a dream like that, and she needed an operation that would be safer for her if she wasn't pregnant. Her husband wanted her to abort, and the times were such that the doctor wouldn't do the surgery without her husband's consent. I don't remember the name of the program, and I didn't see all of it.

[milieva]

Rose's dream was awful in more ways than the fact that she dreamed the Doctor came back and took her baby from her, but it doesn't have any bearing on reality, just her fears.

I figured there would be a few who would assume it was an abortifacient. Which is understandable given the Doctor's initial reaction to the idea. There is one flaw in that idea: he is the only one taking it, and refuses to let Rose so much as taste it.

Doesn't sound like a happy drama.

Suicide? I thought the herbs were some kind of contraceptive lol

[milieva]

This is why I am sitting here wonder what's going on in people heads. I thought I made contraceptive a nearly obvious option. :)

Example of what comments I mean: "...very worried over what guilt ridden Nine is slipping into his own tea."

[jiji-bean.livejournal.com]

Hmmm.

Anyway, I love that preview. Oh Jack *giggles* Btw, sorry I missed you, got home late.

Okay, sleep now.

[milieva]

No worries. I went to bed early. I was tired. I have six pages of semi action that don't fit together yet.

Oh Jack...

To me, it was the fact that he wouldn't let Rose have so much as a taste of it while it was hot because of the fact of her possibly being pregnant and the part that it was only dangerous when hot. I figured it was some kind of spermicide/contraceptive, but I've been around fanfiction long enough to where you never precisely know where and author is going to take a particular story, so there was that niggling doubt. Glad of the reassurance against suicide and will happily wait for the full story of the tea.
