The Doctor was examining Cassandra's birth certificate, realizing that he had overlooked something. The birth certificate listed Cassandra as a twin. The first. What was the other ones name and where was he or her?
Cassandra walked into the room, holding Adam in both arms. "Are you going to be done looking at my birth certificate any time soon?"
The Doctor sighed and looked up at her. "I'm done now," he put it aside, "I can see someone's getting fussy."
Adam had been starting to get a little fussy. Cassandra shifted him. "He won't go to sleep. He's supposed to be sleeping."
"Do I have to get him to sleep again?"
"He only sleeps for you. He won't sleep for me." She handed Adam over to the Doctor before he even had a chance to protest.
Adam stopped crying right away.
"You're going to have to learn to put him to sleep yourself."
"When he lets me…." Cassandra picked up her birth certificate with the intent of returning it to her room.
"I want to ask you something about that birth certificate." The Doctor said.
"What's that? Did you finally notice that I have a twin?"
"There were some distractions that kept me from noticing right away, you were having a baby." There was a pause before he spoke again. "Well, are you going to tell me about this?"
"Elyse, her name is Elyse. Before you ask where she is, I don't know. I haven't seen her since just before I had that year long stay in the hospital."
"How much like you is she?"
"Her hair's straight and she has a mole above her lip, but other than that, she looks just like me."
"What kind of a person is she?"
"She hates mom, like I do. I can't blame her. We were moving constantly. I never had the same friend for even a month. And she was also the only one at any of the schools we ever went to that could bully the bullies. She's fearless. I think there was one time that she beat the living daylights out of half of the boys in the neighborhood."
"So, she's…a tom boy?"
"I wouldn't know if she still is. She could have changed since the last time I saw her. If you're wanting to know where she might have gone, you might want to try looking somewhere in New York. She always wanted to go there, but we never did."
Romana came into the room, ending the conversation.
"I'm going to take this back to my room," Cassie said. She stalked off towards her rooms.
"I don't think she likes me." Romana commented.
"She just has some trust issues. She's fine. With the life she had, no on e can blame her."
Adam yawned and put his thumb into his mouth. His curly brown hair was almost a perfect match to his grandfather's.
