The next morning, the Doctor and Jack were standing in the infirmary, looking at all of the babies. Jack was holding Pearl, who was sleeping contentedly.
"I can't believe she had ten full-term sized babies in there," Jack said.
"The second one is a Klingon," the Doctor said. "The next four are Vulcans. The fifth is a non-mutated Li'hlfa. The sixth is a Trakenite. The seventh is a pure Li'hlfa, not to be mistaken with a non-mutated Li'hlfa."
"What is the difference anyway?"
"The Li'hlfa that you and Rose saw on Trian were mutated. Over ninety percent of their population are mutated. Five and a half percent are non-mutated, carrying the gene that causes the mutation. The rest have absolutely no traces of the mutation in their DNA."
"Oh, I see."
The Doctor continued talking about the babies. "The eight and the ninth are Shi'ar hybrids. And the last one is a Time Lord, which surprises even me."
Jack looked at the Doctor curiously. "That means you're not the only one left, again."
The Doctor nodded. "It does. It's yet to be seen if it's a clone though. If it is, we'll find out."
Roxanne, who had just woken up and was watching them spoke, "it is not a clone."
Both men looked at her. "Are you sure?" Jack asked.
She nodded her head. "I should know whether a child I am carrying is a clone or not. It is not what you call a clone. It cannot be a clone because I would be able to tell."
"There we go," the Doctor said. "Now, we know. The Li'hlfa probably stole someone's DNA to make the baby, like they do with at least half of the babies they create for experimentation."
"These babies were made for experimentation?" Jack asked in disgust. "How am I not surprised?"
Roxanne watched them again until Samantha came into the room.
"Jack, I'm going to work now," Samantha said.
"Why don't you wait a minute and I'll take you to work?"
"I think I'd rather walk to work today. It's not like an alien can abduct another one of my children, since I can't have any."
Jack looked at the Doctor apologetically and the Doctor nodded his head in understanding. Pearl began to wake up and the Doctor automatically snatched her away.
"Now, I get to see you," the Doctor said, grinning widely. "You're mine now."
Jack laughed. "I wouldn't want Sophie to hear you say that. I have to get her from the hospital today anyway. I'll drive Sam to work and I guess you can look after Pearl if you want. She sort of draws a lot of attention from all the nurses."
"We'll have a lot of fun," the Doctor told him. "She can be in the TARDIS with me for a while."
"Don't take her anywhere!"
"I'm not going to!" the Doctor told him, sticking out his tongue.
Roxanne continued to watch them.
"Ianto will probably be here before I get back," Jack told the Doctor before leaving. "And since today's Saturday, I don't have to send Crystal off to school. "I'm sure you can find plenty of fun things for her to do in the TARDIS."
"Oh, she enjoyed the library yesterday. She had a lot of fun in there, until the baby started kicking, that is."
When Jack returned from taking Sam to the hospital and picking Sophie up, he found that all of his crew had already came in, even Owen, who Jack had told to take a day off.
"I thought you would take the day off," Jack said in surprise.
"Yeah, well there's patients I have to take care of," Owen said in a tone that implied Jack was stupid for telling him to take the day off.
"The Rift opened while you were gone," Tosh said. "There seems to be more activity lately."
"Did anything or anyone come through," Jack asked, looking away from Owen to look at her.
"Actually, yes. Pearl got hungry and because she didn't get a bottle right that minute she started to cry and opened the Rift, so now we have a not so pleasant guest. He's already hit on Daisy."
"No, no…" Jack murmured. "Please don't say it…"
"It's Captain Hart," Tosh said, apparently not happy with the idea either. "Don't worry, we sent Pearl, Daisy and Crystal into the TARDIS with the Doctor while we put John in a cell. The Doctor already seems to have a low opinion of him."
