Romana watched the Doctor. She just didn't understand it. Since the Doctor had found that girl a few days ago, the Doctor was untalkative and he was usually gone. She knew that there was a possibility that the girl was his child, but this was ridiculous. She had heard him instruct K-9 to run a DNA test, but she hadn't stayed. When he was there, he was always either asleep or…nervous. It was the only word she could think of.

This time, the Doctor had simply slumped into a chair and fell asleep.

Maybe she could fix the TARDIS' newest glitch so that they could leave…

K-9 whirred, actually startling Romana. "It is time to wake up, Master."

The Doctor was startled from his sleep. "Wha…? Oh…That's right…" The Doctor got up and left.

Romana looked down at the mechanical dog. "Do you mind telling me what's going on?"

"Master instructed me not to tell you."

"Tell me anyway."

"Confusion, you instruct me to tell master's secret, but master had said to keep his secrets."

"Nevermind…I'll just try to get the TARDIS operating again."

The hospital

The Doctor was surprised that he did not see Sarah there. He thought that she might try one last time to get Cassandra to change her mind. When Cassandra had decided to move into the TARDIS the day before, she had strongly protested. Something about taking a baby into the stars and losing Cassandra…

The Doctor was holding baby Adam while he was waiting for Cassandra. The nurse was still preparing her to leave the hospital. The Doctor was starting to get a little impatient, but he knew it had to be soon.

When the Doctor finally returned to the TARDIS, Romana looked at him. "Do you mind telling me what you think you're doing?"

"Your girlfriend's worse than Father Brian's wife." Cassandra said.

The Doctor reached out with one hand and covered her mouth. "She is not my girlfriend, but she does think she's my boss."

"That's not funny, Doctor." Romana glowered.

"I'll tell you later. I have some things to do." He started to lead Cassandra away with Adam.

Romana wasn't sure that she liked that girl. Or maybe she just didn't understand human girls.

A few minutes later, the Doctor returned to the room.

"Were you kissing her baby?"

"What is your problem?"

"I don't have a problem. You seem to like…What was that term…? Bringing in strays?"

"Cassandra is not 'a stray'. She's my daughter, her mother almost completely wrecked her life, and you feel the need to make it clear to her that you hate her."

"I did not do that. I didn't say anything about not liking that girl."

"Well, it's pretty clear that you don't like her. Would you prefer that she went to some place that she doesn't even know?"

"She shouldn't be here. The White Guardian-"

"The White Guardian has no control over who I chose to let stay. I didn't have to let you be here."

"Really?"

"Really. I do not enjoy doing other people's dirty work."

"You say that all the time."

"And it's true."

"Will you stop talking about your time-stuff?" Cassandra had walked into the room with Adam, who was fully awake and a little fussy.

"You could tell me when your about to interrupt my conversations," the Doctor said.

"Then you can teach Adam not to spit-up in my face again."

"You're the one who got pregnant."

"I'm also the one who left Manhattan so that people would stop trying to make me give up my baby, turn him into a spoiled rich boy and who knows what else."

"Are you sure you didn't do anything with your best friend?"

"I never did anything like that with Jeremy. He's my friend and that's all there is to it."

"Did you do drugs with him too?"

"No!"

"You didn't sleep with his the priest?"

"No, he's married and he has kids. Where are you getting this stuff?"

"Where do you think?"

"Either Sarah was mad enough to make me sound like a slut, or you met Jeremy's dad, who is hopefully still in Manhattan."

"Oh, I don't think I met him…"

"Sure…"

"I met your friend and his twin sister."

"Damn it…Take him. He wants you." Cassandra handed him off to the Doctor and left for her rooms.

"I don't think she's very happy with you." Romana said.

"She's just mad because I found out that she's not quite as innocent as she wants to be."
