Despite the Doctor's unhappiness at the test that were run, once he was allowed out of the medi-bay he took complete advantage of it. He went to his kitchen for a cup of tea and then to his library to relax. When Jack went looking for him, though, he found him working beneath the console. He grumbled about all humans being stupid apes as he retreated back to the library. Jack eventually retrieved him from the library in order to settle down for the night. They curled up together on the medi-bay bed with blankets from the Doctor's bed covering him. He laid his head on Jack's chest and held him as he drifted off into a deep sleep with the help of the TARDIS. He was still sleeping the next morning when Martha came in to check on him.

"Is he still asleep?" Martha questioned as she approached the bed. Jack lifted the blanket that was covering the Doctor's head to look at his eyes. The Doctor's eyes were closed and his breathing was still slow and even as he slept on peacefully. He nodded putting the blanket down, not ready to wake his sleeping lover. True, they hadn't made love since the night Osiris appeared, making it clear that he wasn't interested in sex by curling into himself each night while fully clothed or laying himself across Jack's chest keeping his body turned so Jack couldn't touch him easily. While Jack loved sex, he could give up sex with the Time Lord in order to stay by his side. He just hoped he didn't have to. "Would you mind waking him while I make a cup of tea? I would like to talk to him about his test results before Ian gets here."

"Alright," Jack agreed. He waited until she was out of the room before waking the Doctor. Moving the blanket down, he gently ran his fingers through the hair behind the Doctor's ear. "It's time to wake up, sweethearts."

"Jack," the Doctor moaned turning his head away from Jack's hand.

"Yes, now come on. I know you don't mind sleeping when Ian is here, but you don't want your tea going cold do you?" Jack questioned.

"No," The Doctor agreed. He forced himself to sit up looking around for his cup of tea. He was slightly irritated when he didn't see any. Martha made up for a moment later when she came in carrying a nice hot cuppa. He took it from her taking a long drink. He stared at her over the rim of his cup as he drank. He could tell that she was analyzing him again. He lowered the cup looking up at her. "Have you determined a reason for my seizures?"

"I have," Martha answered. Her expression was of a medic and not a friend causing him to worry even more. He set the tea cup down on the bedside table before taking Jack's hand tightly in his. His other hand he hung off the bed. Osiris pressed his nose into hand before moving so that he could scratch his head. The Doctor didn't oblige him, moving his hand. He patted the bed and Osiris immediately jumped up next to him.

"And?" He questioned finally his voice low with how nervous he was. He placed one hand on Osiris's back as he leaned further into Jack.

"As you know the drugs that you were taken interrupted the telepathic centers in your mind causing you unable to communicate with the TARDIS. We knew that it was the initial cause of your seizures and that is why we had you taking medication to block you linking with her. Unfortunately, it is also that part of your brain that is causing the seizures to continue. What the test have shown is that your energy is building up slowly in that part of your brain rather than dispersing through it as it should. When it hits it's peak point your body seizes in order to force the energy to the rest of your body. The good news is that there are several medications that you can take that will help the energy to disperse. While the medication may not alleviate the seizures completely, they should no longer happen on an almost weekly basis," Martha explained to him.

"Will he have to take the medication the rest of his life?" Jack questioned as the Doctor sat there quietly absorbing the information.

"At least until he regenerates," Martha answered. Reaching into her pocket, she pulled out a small bottle of pills. The Doctor recognized the bottle as the tablets known as teta. They helped Time Lords with high energy levels disperse the energy around their body. He wasn't sure if they would work the way Martha wanted them to, but he was willing to try. He released Jack's hand in order to take the small bottle of pills from her just looking at them. "If these don't work, there are other options we can try. The TARDIS informed me that this is the best option, though, based on her readings."

The Doctor didn't say anything as he opened the pill bottle taking one out. His hand was shaking as his picked up his cup of tea before placing the pill in his mouth. He spilled the tea on the front of his gown as he tried to take a drink. Jack reached out helping him to balance the cup.

"Are you alright sweethearts?" Jack questioned him softly knowing he wasn't even close to being alright.

"Fine," The Doctor answered softly, resorting back to his usual answer. He had messed up this body permanently by taking the drugs. He felt a tear run down his cheek as Jack took the cup of tea from him. Jack set the tea down before wrapping his arms around the Doctor kissing him on the back of the neck.

"Ian is going to be here within the next fifteen minutes to speak with you. I am going to give you a moment with Jack and I will be back with Ian as soon as he arrives," Martha told them. She wanted to give the Doctor a moment to collect himself if he needed to, but not long enough to hide from the information.

"Do you want a quick shower before Ian get's here?" Jack asked.

"Yeah," The Doctor answered his voice monotone. He leaned forward swinging his legs off of the bed. He didn't stand until Jack took his hand pulling him to his feet. Together they went to the bathroom, where Jack stripped down climbing into the shower with the Doctor. The Doctor didn't assist as Jack washed his hair and body. He then allowed Jack to dress him in trousers and an undershirt before taking him back into the medi-bay. Jack stood in the doorway as the Doctor went in further to find that Ian was already in there sitting in front of a small table. The table had been set up with a chessboard and Ian was finishing placing the pieces for the game.

"Dannyboy," He said letting Ian know that he was in the room. Ian turned from the game, looking over at the Doctor.

"You look like hell," Ian informed him motioning to the chair on the other side of the table. The Doctor smiled grimly at him as he took his seat.

"At least I don't look like an Abzorbaloff," The Doctor told him as he considered his first move. Jack shook his head upon hearing the insults. He turned heading to the kitchen leaving them alone to talk.
