What do you need? Gingerale? Gingersnaps? Uh uh uh, that pink stuff that humans drink?

Water please...just water don't let the TARDIS make me tea again.

[For a moment, the Doctor has no idea where he keeps the water.]

Water? Right, water. I have water, where is the water? [He slaps his forehead.] Thick, thick, think,

[He goes to the large fridge, pulls out a bottle of water and runs back to Jack.]

Water. I have water. For you. Water.

[Jack accepts the bottle and sips from it still looking a bit pale. He pats the floor of the TARDIS.]

Sorry sweetheart...didn't mean to mess up the floor.

Maybe we should, I dunno, get a house or something more stationary? Would that help? I mean, if we're going to do domestic we should do it all the way. Some place out in the countryside with lots of room, a place a family should live. The TARDIS is really no place for a child to grow up in, not until he's older anyway. I still get lost in the old girl. I think she'd take care of a Tot, but it's not the safest place in the universe. Well, it is, but you know what I mean. Are you sure you don't want something else to settle your stomach? What was it like for you last time? Weird cravings, anything I should know about?

[Jack smiles warmly and he struggles to his feet using the console to boost himself up.]

We'll need to settle in a few months when I get too big to move very fast. Right now as long we're careful I'll be fine.

As for changes I don't really do the weird food cravings thing, I am going to be in a lot of pain in the first few months as my body changes to carry the baby better . I'll be sensitive to touch and I'll get sick easily.

Sick, sensitive, no cravings, got it. Does anything help with the sick part? Anything at all?

Fruit juice helped the last time. I can't drink tea...my body isn't designed to handle it. And water with sugar helps too.

Okay, we'll stock up on those then, I'll make sure we always have some on hand. [He was already going completely overboard in his mind.] I want you to be as comfortable as possible.

You want to spoil me rotten you mean? Can't say I don't mind that at all.

Spoil you, take care of you, make sure you have everything you could possible desire. You're carrying my child, of course I'm going to do all those things.

[Jack grins.]

We're having a little half Time Lord....us parents.

We're insane, saddling a child with us for parents. I hope he or she appreciates how truly awesome we really are. Eventually. One day. In the future.

I'm sure they will once they get past "my dads are completely dumb," teenager stage.......Time Lords hopefully aren't as bad as human teens.

Time Lords are considered children for a few hundred years, and teens for a few hundred more. This will be interesting. [The Doctor has a daft grin on his face.]

[Jack mock groans and rolls his eyes.]

I'm doomed.

[The Doctor slaps him on the shoulder.] You'll get to be a dad for a very, very, very long time.

[Jack can't help himself teasing]

Yes to, two teenagers at the same time.

Oi! Did you just call me a teenager? Or are you planning on more than one child?

Caught that huh?

[Jack is laughing now.]

Which did I catch? Are you planning on being the breeding stock to repopulate the universe with Time Lords. In a few hundred years, we'd be ready to take over the universe!

But it was the teenager thing, wasn't it?

Yep....totally the teenager thing.

[Jack is laughing harder now.]

Gotta admit, I was rather hoping to take over the universe in about 500 years, but I'm content to act like a teenager. [He grins, loving the sound of Jack's laugh. He makes a mental note to make him laugh more often.]
