A.N. Here it is, my third installment of my fanfiction. I realize that so far so good for keeping a good updating pace. Maybe I just doubt myself, but I know that I will get busier, a lot busier and I really want to get a Christmas chapter in around Christmas (hopefully before). Like I said, I write a lot of this at school and type it when I have time. I need to build up my characters, don't I? I hope you all enjoy.

Disclaimer: I don't own Jack, Martha, the Doctor, Ianto, Gwen, and Mickey. I wish I did, but I only own Halyn and Charles.

While Halyn and her father weren't at all happy with her having to stay there, Charles complied and got her some clothes in the meantime with Gwen. Meanwhile, the Doctor had Martha put Halyn through all sorts of tests, mathematical, scientific, physical, etc. until Martha refused to put the girl through anymore tests. And while Martha was doing that, the Doctor ran about madly as he continuously tried to figure out what she was. He already knew what was going on, Halyn was growing another heart because of a lot of changes in her DNA, he just didn't know what species she was, and that was important. Later, he was planning on seeing if he could talk to the father alone, he had a feeling that he knew more that he was letting on.

Halyn was drawing with the pens and paper that Ianto had gotten her. It was actually pretty boring right now, considering the circumstances and where she was. But she was also confined to the conference room, again, and Gwen and her father still weren't back yet. To be honest, she really didn't believe what was going on, to think that she was an alien, HA! It was nuts! Plenty of humans have grown "extra" organs. She just happened to be one of them. She continued doodling. It's a circle, she though anyway. Added some lines here, some shapes there and done. She pushed it over and left it, and began to draw her sneaker. Why? Because it was something to do and she needed some practice.

Shortly after, Martha came in and asked her why her shoe was on the table and Halyn replied that she was sketching it. Martha looked over on the table and found the circle doodle. She asked, "Halyn, did you draw this?" showing the picture.

"Yeah, you can keep it if you want." Halyn replied, not bothering to lift her head. Martha examined the drawing more closely. It had tiny little details that made it look as if it was almost Celtic. She asked Halyn whether she had seen it before or just made it up. Halyn replied that she thought she had seen it before. So Martha decided to show it to the Doctor.

He was a little surprised, and took a good hard look and asked, "Where did you get this?" And Martha told him that Halyn drew it. He immediately went to the conference room where he found her sketching the sneaker and asked, "Did you draw this?"

Halyn looked up and said, "Yes, I did. Why?"

He avoided the question and asked, "Do you know what this is?"

She pushed her reddish hair out of her face and replied, "No, not really. Why should I?"

The Doctor shook his head in disbelief. "Why, because it's the Eye of Harmony." Halyn merely blinked. She had a feeling that he was losing it. She decided to get back to her sketching, if she ignored him, maybe he would go away. And he did, going to get Jack and Martha.

"Jack, do you know what this is?" Jack said that he didn't. "It's the Eye of Harmony. Young Time Lords are brought there when they're eight to look into the Time Vortex. The fact that she drew it is no coincident. Martha was right. How could this have happened?" And with that, the Doctor was off on a ramble about how it couldn't have, shouldn't have happened.

"So does this mean-" Jack started to ask, but the Doctor cut him off saying, "In every way, it shouldn't, but it does."

"Oh." Jack went over to Martha and told her. She was ecstatic at the news, though she was also worried at how the Doctor was going to take it. Jack turned to see through the conference room's windows and said to himself, "So that's what a Time Lady looks like, if that's what you call them."

It wasn't long after that when Charles and Gwen came back. He started for the room, but Jack pulled him over to the side. He informed him about what was going on and to prepare him for the Doctor, who just so happened to want to speak with him privately. After a bit, they ended up in jack's office. The Doctor started in, "Do you know what your daughter is?"

And Charles replied, "My adopted daughter of course."

The Doctor tried again, "Have you ever met her mother?"

"Yes, I knew her for five years." It was more than the Doctor was hoping for.

"How did you know her? Why do you happen to have her daughter now?"

"I met her while I was working in Hetton. We became friends for awhile and she had Halyn. But she couldn't really take care of her. I decided to take care of her. That's it."

Jack looked at the Doctor as he replied angrily, "What are you not telling us? Neither of them is human and you know it."

Charles took a deep breath and said, "Her mother was found and brought in to the Institute. They did various experiments, one including Halyn's existence. They tried artificially inseminating her with human sperm. The "product" of that was going to be used to better themselves. But as you can see, Halyn just so happens to be here and not there."

Jack asked, "Who were they? Who did this?" He wanted to teach them a lesson of trying to breed aliens for their own good.

"I believe it was called Torchwood Institute Four, located in Hetton, in 1992. But they didn't know exactly what they were doing and didn't know that they had succeeded. And her mother, well, let's just say she wasn't very pleased about it. In her escape, we met, and the Institute was completely destroyed. I don't know what happened to the people, but I'm willing to bet that they faired no better than the Institute."

Jack quietly said to himself, "So that ends the mystery of the fourth Torchwood Institute."

The Doctor asked calmly, "What happened to her after?"

"Well, after giving birth to Halyn a year later on November 2, in 1993, she pretty much couldn't deal with taking care of a baby, so I did. I lost contact with her about eleven years ago. Later, I adopted Halyn, and with the exception of her operation, she's been fine ever since."

Jack thought the Doctor was done, but he went on to say, "What happened during the pregnancy? Halyn is a pureblooded Time Lord and you said it was human sperm?"

"During her escape, right during conception, she was shot and changed form." Charles answered.

The Doctor slowly nodded. It actually made sense. "The regeneration process created entirely new Time Lord sperm cells and impregnated her. No sign whatsoever out of the ordinary?" Charles shook his head. The Doctor figured not. "Does Halyn know?"

A sad look came upon the father as he said, "No, she doesn't yet. I brought her to England to better explain it to her later, but know I guess I have no choice to but to do it now." And he slowly made his way up to the conference room to explain it.

Jack pulled the Doctor off to the side after Charles left and asked, "Do you think she was on Gallifrey during the time War?"

And he replied, "She must have been a rogue, or else I would have heard of this; the council would have never let anything like this happen. But it doesn't matter; she's gone like the rest of them." When they got up to the conference room, it wasn't a pretty sight. Halyn had gone along a while for the ride, for only a few minute, than it became extremely ridiculous to her. She starting asking questions, pointing out flaws, just anything to get him to stop talking and take it back. It was the wrong place, the wrong time. But he wouldn't stop what she needed to hear. So she fought it, fought her father, and most of all, fought the Doctor.

"Halyn, I know this is the wrong place and the wrong time to have told you, especially with what's going on right now, but you needed to know." He said to her. All she could think of was that No, she didn't. She just stopped talking and turned around in her seat, back facing him. A sigh and, "You'll have to accept it sooner or later."

The Doctor and Jack stayed down and informed Martha, who then informed the rest of the team about what they had learned. They were all quite shocked, even if they didn't show it, and were very excited to have found the only other alien of an extinct race. Well, they didn't get all the details, they weren't needed, yet. And as for Halyn and her father, their priority was helping Halyn get through the transition in a safe manner.

Jack had assembled himself, the Doctor, Charles, Halyn, and the rest of the team up in the conference room. Charles had brought out a bunch of papers and gave them to the Doctor, saying, "This is all the information on her operation and leading to it."

The Doctor took them and examined them. After a quick minute, he said, "These look like the beginning of the hibernation of her Time Lord self, and essentially turning her into the shadow of a human. That could have been done a variety of ways, from rift exposure to it just being as simple as having been around humans even before she was out of her mother's stomach, causing her body to adapt. And it looks like that adaption caused her second heart to attack up to the point of removal, along with other things, like the partial hibernation of the brain and senses, which explains why I couldn't, and still can't, sense her. And now with the re-growth of the second heart, soon everything will awaken and the transition will be complete."

Charles was about to speak when Halyn timidly asked, "Is there anyway to stop it and maybe reverse it?" It became silent in the room. Jack looked at the Doctor, who looked rather depressed from the question. Martha looked shocked as well, once having a crush on him and would have given everything for that.

The Doctor seemed to think forever before he spoken after what seemed like forever, "I don't think so, no. It's extraordinary that it had happened in the first place. And it would have awakened eventually anyways. I'm sorry, but it can't be reversed or stopped." Halyn remained silent. It became clear how difficult it was going to be.

Nobody spoke for a long time and the meeting was adjourned. The Doctor was looking very sorrowful about what he said. And as for Halyn, she wasn't looking much better.

A.N. I know I said I wanted to have a Christmas chapter (hopefully chapter five) out by Christmas, but with the recent snow storms (stupid global warming) and everything else, I haven't had the time to work on it. Ugh, eighteen inches of sticking snow is a pain in the butt to shovel, especially at ten o'clock at night while it's still snowing. And Christmas, it's almost here! And it's coming too fast!
