A/N: This is a bidding incentive fic, written for the September Support Stacie Auction. The Root Beer Bidding Consortium gave me the prompt: Nine/Rose/Jack, faith.


"Doctor! Rose! You okay down there?"

"We're fine. Just bruises."

"I can't move this tree. I'm going for help."

"We'll wait."

"Might be waitin' a long time. Captain Slick was holdin' the BloodStar. Fifty carats of Denebian ruby is a fair temptation."

"Jack wouldn't."

"I'm jus' sayin--"

"You're wrong."

****

"How long?"

"Four hours, twenty minutes."

"He'll be back..."

"Rose, try to sleep."

"He will!"

"Took you long enough, Captain."

"You thought I ran out on you."

"At first, yeah."

"What changed your mind?"

"Rose. She had faith in you... an' I had faith in her. Guess we were both right."
