According to some accounts, the first child of Leela and Andred was also the first child naturally conceived and born on Gallifrey for millennia, (PROSE: Jealous, Possessive, Lungbarrow) since the Pythia's Curse which had originally forced the Great Houses to develop the looms. (PROSE: Lungbarrow)
Biography
Upon the child's conception, K9 Mark I delivered the news of Leela's pregnancy to K9 Mark II, whom was still trapped in E-Space with Mistress Romana. According to Mark I, Andred wasn't happy with the news and had been "going around disconsolately, muttering, and shaking his head".
Upon hearing this news, Mark II told Romana of the pregnancy, and she remarked that "such an advent would be very big news on her homeworld". She also admitted to Mark II that she felt that the whole thing was a "bit common", with "an asylum-seeking off-worlder moving in, marrying one of the guards and proceeding to GIVE BIRTH ALL OVER THE PLACE". (PROSE: Jealous, Possessive)
Noting with a twinkle in his eye that the son of a Time Lord father and a human mother would have an "unusual pedigree", the Seventh Doctor, upon learning that Leela was expecting, advised her to name the child after him. (PROSE: Lungbarrow)
Behind the scenes
- Marc Platt intended the ending of Lungbarrow to imply that Leela and Andred's child would eventually travel back to the Dark Times and become the Other, thus reconciling the idea of the Doctor being half-human with that of his being the loom-born reincarnation of the Other.[1]
- The Faction Paradox character of Intrepid may have been intended to be an older version of Leela and Andred's child, being highlighted as half-human without their parentage or birth name ever being clarified.
