The Doctor was leaning against the counter in the kitchen, holding a bottle of baby-formula in one hand whilst balancing Alex in with his free arm. The little green alien looked at him curiously with his big, black eyes. The Doctor looked back at him. Just at that moment, Rose walked in.

"Have you still not fed him?" Rose asked in annoyance. She had left the Doctor in the same position fifteen minutes ago.

"He just keeps staring at me!" he said, defensively. "How am I meant to feed him if he's going to keep looking at me like that?"

Rose sighed. "Give 'im here," she said, moving towards the Doctor. She took baby Alex from his arms and placed him in her own. She then took the bottle from the Doctor and proceeded to sit down on a chair at the kitchen table. She lowered the bottle to Alex's mouth and he began to suck hungrily at it.

"You see?" Rose said, as Alex fed happily. "It's a very easy thing to do."

"Easy for you," the Doctor told her. "You're a woman."

Rose gave him a look. "That has nothing to do with it. You should be the one wanting to feed him and burp him and change him. He is your son…" a look of wonder came across Rose's face. "…Doctor?"

"Hmm?"

"Since you…'gave birth'… to him…does that make him part Time-Lord?"

"No," said the Doctor, "but it would make him part-Gallifreyan…oh." He understood now. Another Gallifreyan alive. Another of his race…

"There, all done!" Rose said, as she put Alex over her shoulder to burp him.

"Rose! I need to do some tests on Alex!" the Doctor said, quickly.

"What?" Rose asked, astounded. "Why? Is he sick? Does he look sick?" Rose brought Alex level with her face and checked him closely. "Does he look pale to you?"

"I don't know, Rose, he's green," he replied. "But still, I want to run some tests to see if he is part-Gallifreyan, or just 100 alien." The Doctor walked over to Rose, carefully took Alex from her, and started to walk out the door towards the med lab. Rose got out of her chair and followed closely behind.

Twenty minutes later, Alex was under a scanner in the white-washed medical lab. The Doctor had already done blood tests, reflex tests, looked closely at Alex's eyes and was now being subjected to what Rose could only assume was an x-ray.

"There!" the Doctor exclaimed when the green light of the scanner appeared. "That's all the tests done!" He picked Alex up from the table and passed him to Rose. He then moved to the computer which was deciphering the blood tests. "Okay…okay…almost done…" he pressed a few buttons and a picture came up on the screen. "Aha! It's…"

"It's what, Doctor?" Rose said, carrying Alex over to where the Doctor was glued to a picture of what looked like a virtual ball of string.

"It's impossible," he said, tapping a few more keys. The 'ball of string' expanded out in to a long strand.

"What is that?" Rose asked, nodding to the picture.

"It's a strand of Alex's DNA," the Doctor told her. "And it's just…impossible…it can't be right…"

"Why not?" Rose asked, curious about what the Doctor found impossible.

The Doctor stood up straight and took Alex from Rose's arms. He held Alex in front on himself and studied him for a moment. "It's the DNA of a Gallifreyan."

"But," Rose said, "you knew it was going to be part-you anyway because you did-"

"He's not just part me, he's all me," the Doctor said, not taking his eyes of Alex who was gazing at him with a sort of innocent wonder. "The complete genetic make-up of his DNA is Gallifreyan. Nothing else. Zip. Nadda."

Rose felt her mouth drop open in amazement. "How?"

"I have no idea," the Doctor said, quickly handed Alex back to her as he ran over to the scanner. "I just want to make sure though…Yes!" he exclaimed when the x-ray of Alex appeared. "Rose, come here!" he said, beckoning her over.

"You see that tiny black dot beside the heart?" he asked her. Rose nodded. "That's his second heart, ready to form when he regenerates. He's got his own little binary vascular system!" The Doctor started to pace the room in his excitement.

"But I thought that all Time Lords had two hearts from birth," Rose said as she watched him walk back and forth.

"The second heart doesn't come until a Time Lord regenerates," he told her. "And you didn't have to be a Time Lord to regenerate. 'Time Lord' was just the name given to those who traveled through and manipulated time."

"So…is Alex a Time Lord?" Rose asked him, looking down at the baby.

"Yup!" the Doctor said happily, taking Alex off Rose and studying him again. "And he has so much to learn! He'll be able to talk properly within a year. Oh! And I'll need to teach him the laws of Time and Space. I want him to be able to speak Gallifreyan too, you know…keep the old traditions alive and such…" the Doctor continued rambling as he walked out the med lab door. Rose watched him go and rolled her eyes.

One hour later…

Rose walked in to the control room to find the Doctor at the consol, with little Alex in his arms. The Doctor was pointing at various part of the consol and, from what Rose could see, Alex was paying very close attention.

"Doctor? What are you doing?" she asked, walking over to them.

"I'm teaching Alex how to fly the TARDIS!" the Doctor replied, happily.

"What?!" Rose exclaimed. "You can't teach a baby how to fly a machine! What if he presses a wrong button and we all blow up?"

"Rose, Rose, Rose," the Doctor said, shaking his head. "Alex is much more intelligent than other children, he'll be fine. Oh," he added, looking up at the ceiling, "and please don't call the TARDIS a machine. She's much better than that."

"Oh, right," Rose said, as she looked up at the roof. "I'm sorry," she said. The TARDIS hummed happily.

"So, what do you want?" the Doctor said.

"I was wondering," Rose said, looking at Alex. "Alex is completely Gallifreyan, yes?"

"Yup, 100," the Doctor said, cheerfully.

"Then," Rose continued, "…why is he green?"

"Some mistake that the aliens made," he told her, turning back to the console. "My guess is that they intended to create a child who would be half-alien, and half what they thought was human. Of course, my biological make-up over-ran their plan, created a child that was completely Gallifreyan but still looked like an alien. They realized they made a mistake and dumped me off again."

"Huh…" Rose said as another question hit her. "But since Alex is Gallifreyan, you'll never know what those aliens really were, because you have no DNA to research them with."

"Rose, I know what they were," the Doctor told her in exasperation. "They were aliens."

"But you're an alien too! The word has many meanings!"

"No," he said, now understanding what she meant. "The species of those aliens, is called 'alien'. They never had a proper name for themselves until they landed in earth in the 20th century. A human saw them, shouted 'Alien!' and so they took that as the name of their species," the Doctor looked up as he remembered their history. "Not an intelligent bunch…they still kept that name when they realized that every being that was not human was referred to as 'alien'."

Rose stared at the Doctor for a moment. "Okay…" she said. "I'm going to lie down for a while…"

"Rightio," the Doctor said as she left the control room. As Rose was walking down the corridor she could hear him saying, "Now, see that big grey button? That's a disrospector-timetorrer…it's best to not touch that one…"
