Yeah, all of canon!Rose's happiness has to happen in our imaginations. I'm glad that Chaosverse!Rose is just flat-out happy for us to see. And I think Mickey's happy, too. Happiness all around!
I think Jackie's relationship with the Doctor evolves slowly, and, before you know it, she's saying nice things about him, like this.
I'm with you, that Bad Wolf Bay scene was the saddest thing I'd ever seen, but it's lost some impact for me. And I also think that the only thing to make that scene sadder is to have kids involved!!
Hahahahaha! The Doctor's inclination is always to be more verbal.
And yeah, I think Rose has gotten this far in her life, really, by always reading between the lines of what the Doctor says. She's gotten this far knowing that he loves her, even if he doesn't say it. She's used to it as a fact of her life.
I'm not usually a fan of keeping secrets like that, although I did want this to be a secret, so I had to have her do it. But I like what you have to say about how much the Doctor doubted his ability to get Rose, and how knowing she was pregnant would have changed that equation for him a bit, not getting through would ever even have been a vague possibility for him, and he would have galvanized to action much sooner than he did. I really like that idea.
