"That will not be enough," Roxanne said with a small shake of her head. "They won't listen to her. It would have to be from either the queen or the first in line for the crown."

Owen looked at Norandi for confirmation. She nodded her head. "It could only be from my oldest aunt or my next aunt. It can only be from one of them."

"Don't you people have kings too?"

"Kings have no authority on my home planet," Norandi said with a frown. "Do kings have authority on Earth?"

"When there is a king, yes."

"I am sorry. I did not know."

"Don't apologize," Owen said, turning away. "I would have thought your mother would have come out here by now."

"She's busy," Jack said as he came into the room from somewhere within the Hub.

"What's she doing?"

"Delivering babies."

"And you didn't tell me?!" Owen shouted. "Isn't she going to need help?"

"Sam's with her."

Owen groaned and went into the infirmary anyway. He then came out, realizing she wasn't in there.

"She's in Corinthia's room," Jack said, referring to the blonde Trian surrogate that Li'hana had brought with her and Norandi.

Owen headed towards the area in a huff. Norandi and Roxanne both looked at Jack and then to Lorelei in her carrier.

"I'm not watching her. Just hope she doesn't wake up."

Norandi looked down at the baby. "I will not change her."

"I think you will. Someone will show you if you don't know how to do it."

Norandi frowned in disgust.

"You'll do it," Jack said. "I'm not doing it. Like I said, just hope she doesn't wake up."

"I wish I had my maidservant. She would do it. Maidservants do such work."

"Your maidservant isn't here. You're going to learn to live like a normal person. That includes changing dirty diapers."

Norandi turned her nose in disgust. "I was trained for combat and stealth, not infant care."

"Don't you argue with me anymore. You're going to do it."

Jack went into his office. Crystal got up and followed him.

"Dad, I need you to help me."

"What is it?"

"I need you to get the baby to stop kicking my bladder."

"I don't think that's going to help much. That's what babies do in there."

"I changed my clothes three times already. The baby just won't stop kicking! I can't get her to stop. I talked to her earlier and she just kicked harder."

"You're going to have to learn this on your own sooner or later. I can't keep doing this." Jack rubbed Crystal's stomach and started to talk to the baby about the Doctor.

"I can't believe she likes to hear about Slitheens. They're gross. Even the Futurekind was better."

"Would you rather hear about the Futurekind?" he asked the baby. The baby kicked. "Nope, baby doesn't want to hear about it. The baby wants to hear about Margaret Blaine."

"Then the baby's weird. I've heard the Slitheen story so many times."

"Oh, that could change later. You liked to hear about them."

A baby was thrust into Owen's arms the moment he came into the room. The human looking baby cried, waving its tiny little arms around. "I suppose you're too busy to take care of it yourself?" he asked Sam.

"Yeah, I'm pretty busy. She's popping those babies out like spiders eggs hatching."

Li'hana put another baby into Sam's hands.

"See what I mean?"

"Yeah, I'd say so. I think Jack's going to have to hire more people."

Sam gave him a kick with a foot to get him to move towards the infirmary. "Marcie's daughter's supposed to start as soon as she's back from Bavaria."

"Bavaria!"

"I guess she goes there at least once a year. Move your ass! I have work to do!"

"You're not the only one!" Owen shouted as they headed for the infirmary."
