Leontyne Geisslerin woke up in terrible pain. The Master stood next to the bed she was in, looking down at her.
"Now, I will forgive your betrayal if you promise not to betray me to the Doctor ever again," he said. "Are we clear?"
"Yes, we're clear…" Leontyne only wanted the pain to end.
The Master then held up a needle and syringe, "this is the antidote to the snake toxin. If I give this to you, it seals our deal. Now, are you telling me the truth or would you rather go the rest of your days in pain?"
"I'm telling you the truth…" she breathed. "I won't contact the Doctor like that again, I promise."
The Master looked at her for a moment. "Good," he said finally.
Leontyne screamed as the felt the needle go into her hip.
"I didn't tell you this would hurt?"
Sometime later
Romana walked into the console room, where the Doctor was brooding over a book, not really reading it. "Doctor?"
The Doctor looked to her, "oh, you're going to speak to me now? Yesterday, you just suddenly go all mad at me. And you used some choice words that my daughters taught you."
"I'm sorry," Romana said. "I didn't really know what I was saying."
"Hmm-mmm…" the Doctor replied as if Romana weren't really there. "Then what was going on?"
Romana took one deep breath, "I…I'm…"
The Doctor looked at her in shock at her inability to get the words out, "Romana?"
She had lowered her head, but lifted it at the sound of the Doctor's voice. "I'm…I'm…pregnant…" she said slowly.
The Doctor didn't reply, but his eyes went very wide.
"Doctor? Are you alright?" Romana just didn't understand it; she thought he'd have something to say.
The Doctor got up, dropping the book. He walked straight past Romana and disappeared.
Cassie was coming into the room with Adam in her arms, "you told him didn't you?"
"Of course I did!"
"I did offer to tell him for you."
"I wanted to tell him myself," Romana replied.
"Well, you did a real bang-up job at that."
