How long do you think it took P/im to switch from "Omg is this what I think it is?" To "HOORAY THERE'S GONNA BE A BABY". I feel like the lil fella couldn't contain his excitement for long
Oh as SOON as he gets A/llan to spill the beans, he basically squeals in delight🤩
(Hope you don’t mind me taking this as an opportunity to tack on a small drabble :’D)
Rewinding a little bit, he'd come to work earlier than usual. He half expected to see at least one other person opening with him, so it was no surprise to see A/llan's scooter parked near the front of the building already. He poked his head into the breakroom to find A/llan slouched over table looking rather.... disheveled.
He hadn’t slept well at ALL, and he was horrendously sick to his stomach. So much so that even when P/im turned on the coffee pot, the smell made him book it to the sink to retch up what little was left in his gullet. P/im initially took this as being some kind of bug, so he decided to clean up around the place. Starting with the bathroom. There was a faint smell of bile in the air.
“Hmm… he must’ve sicked in here already… Poor guy.”
He wiped down EVERYTHING. When he’d satisfied himself with his work he went to take the trash out… but something caught his eye. Normally he would never think to stick his hand into old garbage. But he sheer recognizably of a pregnancy test clouded his judgment.
Needless to say it didn’t take him long to put 2 and 2 together….
And thus the proverbial beans were spilt😌

tentoo/rose for the prompt 'duel'
read on ao3
“Did you ever?”
Rose starts slightly, having almost forgotten that she wasn’t in bed already, her mind slow and hazy. Shifting against the headrest, she yawns. “Did I ever…what?”
The Doctor looks at her, as if to say you know. When she doesn't catch on, he huffs. “With someone else. While I was,” he swallows, “…away.”
“Oh. Well,” Rose says, considering.
“I told you about Martha. And Joan.” He smiles, tight and sheepish. “And Astrid.”
Rose grins. “Feeling jealous?”
“No,” he says, albeit a little stiffly. “Just curious.”
She hums noncommittally, even as an odd flush of happiness goes through her. “You know Michael, yeah? In HR?” She waits for him to nod impatiently. “Well…we went on a couple of dates. Wouldn’t even call them dates, actually. Didn’t really go past that. “ Her cheeks tinge pink. “I’m pretty sure I spent them talking his ears off about you.”
She meets the Doctor’s gaze then, expecting him to say something cheeky. Instead, his eyes darken, and he swears loudly, before moving so suddenly that Rose jumps.
“Sorry, hello, Anderson—was it?” the Doctor demands, leaning forward to tap the cabbie’s shoulder. “Yes, right—mind taking us back? I’ve forgotten to do something.”
“Doctor,” Rose sits up, bewildered. “Wha—”
“I knew it,” he says. “Knew that slimy bastard had eyes on you. He still fancies you, did you know that? Couldn’t keep his eyes off you tonight. It’s indecent, it is, Rose—it’s not right. He knows you’re with me now.”
Rose tries to ignore the shiver of delight that travels up her spine at that. With him. “So he fancies me—so what?”
“So what?” the Doctor snaps. “So…what? So I’m going to show him that, that’s what.” He straightens his collar, pulls back his sleeves, muttering furiously. “...does he think he is? Hovering all day…all those reports…touching your shoulder…And tonight. Bringing you that drink?”
“You’ve been watching him closely, then, have you?”
“It’s not funny, Rose.”
“Going to duel him to win my hand?”
“I just might,” he says, and Rose realises the cab’s pulled up outside the pub they’d left minutes ago. The Doctor yanks the door open, stepping onto the pavement before she can yank him back inside.
“Doctor, wait! “ she laughs incredulously, stumbling as she makes to follow him. She grabs his arm. “What’re you doing?
“Nothing,” he says pleasantly, plastering a wide grin across his face. “Just going to give the gentleman a piece of my mind.” With that he turns to march back into the pub, only for Rose to pull on his arm again, anchoring him to her.
“Doctor, stop!” she says, quite unable to keep the amusement out of her voice. “You can’t just–look. What does it matter? It’s not like he has a chance.” She lifts his wrist, waving it between them. “I’ve won the hand already.”
The Doctor groans, but his lips twitch. “Awful.”
“You love it.”
They stand like that for several seconds, Rose grinning, until he shakes his head in defeat, allowing himself to smile. “I know he hasn’t got a chance,” he admits somewhat gruffly. “Doesn’t mean I’ve got to let him try.”
“Doesn’t mean you can walk in there and deck him either,” Rose reminds him. “You’re in enough trouble with Pete as it is.”
The Doctor makes a noise of irritation. Carefully, Rose tugs him in the direction of the cab again, as if to not spook him. “I like this look on you,” she tells him conversationally, her tongue poking out of her mouth of its own accord. “Green.”
“You would,” he says grumpily, but there’s no real venom in his words.
She remembers suddenly, her first Doctor, and the way he would sulk when she so much as glanced at a “pretty boy”. An unbearable fondness suffuses her chest. “Hey,” she says, slowing to a stop. She leans in, pressing her lips to his jaw, to the slight stubble he’s got going nowadays, lingering for a few seconds before pulling away. “I love you.”
His cheek is warm, his gaze even more so.
“Rose Tyler,” he says quietly. He glances away then, to a street lamp at the corner of the building, and then to the cabbie and then her watch, strangely, before finally flitting back to her.
“What?” she asks him.
“Nothing,” he says, squeezing her palm ever-so-slightly. “Winning hands, indeed.”
