That night, Taryn left the Hub with Ianto, as she wouldn't leave until he left. Owen had left before everyone else, which was not surprising, considering that he thought Taryn would attack him.

Roxanne kept looking at Owen as though there was something he had forgotten.

"What?" he finally asked.

"Lorelei."

"What about her?"

"You forgot her."

"Shit!" Owen shouted. "Ok, don't ever let me forget anything like that again.

Roxanne seemed pleased that he had given her an order of some sort.

Just then, there was a knock at the door. Jack opened the door without waiting for an answer. "You forgot someone." He held out Lorelei in her carrier.

Owen took her away from Jack. "I hadn't noticed until miss smart mouth mentioned it."

"I'm sure she'd appreciated it if you didn't call her names."

Roxanne cocked her head to the side. "But he is my master."

"I am not your master!" Owen said. "Why can't you get that through your head?"

"But…I have to have a master. I am not free." She looked as if she were about to cry.

"It's ok," Jack said. "He's your master."

"What the hell, Jack you can't just-" He was interrupted by Jack yanking him out of the apartment by his arm. Jack shut the door before Owen had a chance to protest.

"She doesn't understand it yet, Owen. You can't just say that you're not her master when in her mind, you are. You're just going to have to pretend. It's too much of a shock for her to be told that she's free right now. She basically thinks you inherited her. Just treat her nicely and eventually try explaining it all to her. Or you could keep her from thinking you own her by marrying her."

"I'm not marrying her, Jack!"

"Then you'll fake being her master for now." Jack started to leave but turned back. "Oh, and don't be surprised if she thinks she needs to…pleasure you."

Owen groaned as Jack disappeared.

When he had the door shut, he heard the sound of the TARDIS materializing in his living room. "Oh no..." he murmured.

The Doctor stuck his head out the TARDIS door. "Oh, good, you're home. I need you to help me with something."

"You need my help?" Owen asked incredulously.

"Yes, I need you to conduct a physical examination of Daisy."

"Why can't you do it?"

"Because I can't! Daisy's power is keeping her from being scanned by the TARDIS equipment and I can't give her a physical examination because I can't touch her. I barely got her back into the TARDIS earlier. I had to have non- Time Lord help. You can touch her right now because you're not a Time Lord."

"If I do it, will it shut you up?"

"If shutting up will shut you up, then yes."

After a long examination, Owen finally told the Doctor his conclusion. "She's managed to get herself knocked up. She's barely far enough to tell from a simple physical examination."

"Oh! Her power is protecting her child until she's healed! I know what can be done now!"

"What happened anyway?"

"She destroyed a time and paradox machine created by a man who was helping the Daleks try to invade Earth. It's a long story best explained later. How long have we been gone?"

"A week."

"Really? I thought it would be two weeks...that's how long it's been for us...Don't tell Jack about this."
