Martha went to the kitchen to find that there wasn't anything to make a milkshake with. Not that it really surprised her. What did surprise her, however, was beside a few bananas and a container that looked like baby food, she couldn't find anything else edible in the kitchen. She couldn't even find the ingredients to make tea, which the Doctor had always had before. Reaching into her pocket, she pulled out a small notepad that she always kept on hand. She made a list of items that she would need for tea, milkshakes and just meals in general for the Time Lord and his two kids. Putting the list in her pocket, she then headed to the girl's room to grab a few extra nappies for Ajessa. She returned to the Doctor with the food and nappies laying them down on the end table.

"I am going to go to the hub for a moment. I shouldn't be that long but I am leaving extra nappies for Ajessa. Can you think of anything else that you might need?" Martha questioned.

"A glass of water," The Doctor responded. Martha nodded before going back to the kitchen. She dug through the cupboards until she found a pitcher for water, then filled it in the sink. Grabbing two glasses she returned to the medi-bay and sat them down beside the food. The Doctor picked up the pitcher pouring himself a glass.

"I will be right back," Martha promised him as he offered the glass to Cerys first. Hurrying out of the TARDIS she made her way to the hub. She planned on only being there long enough to pass the list on to Ianto to go shopping and then to make the Doctor a milkshake and a gather the items he needed for tea. Giving the list to Ianto went smoothly enough and he agreed to head out immediately for the food. It was when she was in the kitchen, though, that she got delayed. Jack wandered in smelling strongly of whiskey. He leaned against the doorframe staring at her.

"I have called a meeting for first thing tomorrow morning so that we can discuss what we are going to do about the Doctor," Jack informed her. Martha paused in her search for ice cream as she turned to look at him.

"What do you mean, what we are going to do? He came here for our help and that's what we are going to do," Martha told Jack firmly. She pulled the ice cream out slamming the freezer behind her.

"What if he didn't come here for help?" Jack questioned her softly. He had a lot of time to think about the Doctor's arrival, since finding out and while he wanted to help his friend he couldn't help but wonder if it was some sort of a trick or trap. He loved the Doctor, but he had chosen that monster for a companion and lover. Because of that, he didn't feel as if he could trust the Doctor completely, at least not yet. Not without proof that he was sorry for abandoning his companions.

"What do you mean?" Marth asked. Grabbing a fresh banana off the table, she began to peel it in order to chop it into small pieces for the milkshake.

"What if he came here on the Master's orders in order to hurt us? It hurts me to say it because I love him too, but what if this is all a trap?" Jack wondered out loud.

"You haven't actually talked to him yet, Jack. He is terrified. I have never seen him like this before and I am worried about him. He told me that he ran because the Master punched him in the stomach. He came to us because he trust us to help him," Martha explained to Jack. Jack took the knife from her and began to chop the banana for her while she got out the blender and added ice cream.

"I want to believe him, Martha. I really do, but I can't. Because of that, while he has my permission to stay parked on the rift, I am going to ban him from entering the hub. At least until we have proven that he isn't working for the Master," Jack told her. He didn't want the Master to have an inside layout of the hub or access to any of the information that they held that might allow them to get the upper hand on him. "If he betrays us and we find he is working for the Master still, then he will be charged in accordance with the Master."

"If he is working for the Master, I would argue that he has Stockholm syndrome," Martha responded. She couldn't believe they were discussing the Doctor betraying them, but she could see Jack's side of the argument. Even if she didn't like it. "He can't be charged for the same crimes as the Master when we both know he tried to stop what happened aboard the Valiant."

"I agree and that is why I would get UNIT involved. Besides the Brigadier he has no close friends there and therefore can be given a fair trial. While I would argue to have the Master sentenced to death for his crimes, I would fight to have the Doctor placed in treatment to get the help that he needs," Jack told her. He knew that sentencing the Doctor to prison would be a death sentence in and of itself for the Time Lord who loved to run. Instead, he would see about getting him placed in psychiatric care until which time it was deemed that he was fit to run again. Of course, that would mean the girls would need someone to look after them and while he currently hated the idea, he was the best one for the job. Gallifreyan's had long lives without regenerating and he was the only one who could be there for them as long as they needed.

"The Master would just regenerate if we tried to kill him," Martha responded.

"I know how to make sure he stays dead," Jack answered grimly. One of the last times he saw the Doctor aboard the Valiant he had told Jack the best way to kill a Time Lord was to put a bullet through each heart and their head before they could regenerate. At the time, Jack didn't understand why the Doctor had provided him with the information when he had made it clear that he didn't want the Master dead. It was only as the Doctor walked away with his tormentor that Jack understood. The Doctor wasn't telling Jack so that he could kill the Master but so that he could kill the Doctor himself if it ever became necessary. Jack didn't know under what circumstances he could ever kill the man that he loved and he hoped that he never found out. Sighing loudly, he crossed his arms and leaned against the counter. "I know this doesn't sound fair or right but we have to be ready for anything. I hope that he really is here just for help."

"He is and if you would just come talk to him for a moment, you would see how scared and worried he actually is," Martha informed Jack. The conversation went quiet a moment while she blended the ice cream and bananas along with honey and peanut butter. Trying it she found it sickeningly sweet but knew that the Doctor would love it. She poured it into a large glass, then picked up the bag with the tea supplies that she had collected. "I need to get back out to him before he tries something stupid like getting out of bed again. You can guarantee, though, that I am going to be at your meeting tomorrow and once again arguing on the Doctor's behalf."

"I would expect nothing less," Jack told her with a small smile. Martha headed to the door of the hub but noticed that Jack wasn't behind her.

"Are you coming?" She questioned before heading outside.

"Yeah," Jack answered, then followed after her. He wasn't sure what he was going to say when he saw the Doctor, but he needed to speak to his old friend. Stepping out of the hub, he was surprised to see that it was sunny out as he followed Martha across the plas. For some reason, he was thinking that it was overcast out or at least he hoped it was to match his mood. Reaching the TARDIS they went inside and straight to the medi-bay.

The Doctor was sitting on the bed with his knees up and Ajeesa leaning against him. He was spooning the baby food into her mouth and she was making a mess as she tried to eat it. Cerys, on the other hand, was snacking happily on the banana but she stopped eating it as Jack entered to stare at him. Jack wasn't offended as he knew that she could see time bouncing off of him in a strange way that the Doctor couldn't explain. The Doctor looked up as they entered and while a small smile crossed his face upon seeing Jack, his eyes lit up as they settled on the milkshake. It had been so long since he had one that he thought he might cry if the milkshake was for Martha.

"Is that for me?" He asked hopefully.

"Yep," Martha answered handing it to him. He latched on to the straw that was in it immediately taking a long drink of the sickeningly sweet concoction. Perhaps it was the fact that it had been over three years since his last milkshake or the fact he was pregnant, but he didn't think he had ever tasted a better one. He moaned his happiness as he drained part of the glass in one large gulp. "I take it you like it." He nodded happily as he took another large drink. It was only then that he took notice of two sets of little eyes that were watching him. He wanted to be greedy and finish the milkshake himself, but he instead offered Cerys a drink. With Cerys drinking his milkshake he finally turned his attention to Jack.

"I'm sorry that I left you behind. I should have let you come with us," He said at last.

"That makes twice now, Doc," Jack told him sternly.

"It won't happen again," The Doctor promised. He moved Ajessa off his legs handing her to Martha to clean up before opening his arms to Jack for a hug. Jack leaned down holding him loosely as the Doctor held him back tightly. Jack adjusted his grip so that he wasn't pressing on any bruises as he hugged the Doctor closer. He could feel the lithe man trembling in his arms and knew Martha was right. The Doctor was terrified. He just hoped he wasn't going to make a mistake by helping him.
