According to one account, '''[[Leela]] and [[Andred]]'s first child''', half-[[human]] and half-[[Time Lord]], was the first child conceived naturally on [[Gallifrey]] since the [[Pythia's Curse]] which had originally forced the [[Great House]]s to develop the [[loom]]s.

According to some accounts, the '''child''' of [[Leela]] and [[Andred (The Invasion of Time)|Andred]] was also the first child naturally conceived and born on [[Gallifrey]] for millennia, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Lungbarrow (novel)}}, {{cs|Gallifrey: A Rough Guide (short story)}}, {{cs|Jealous, Possessive (short story)}}) since the [[Pythia's Curse]] which had originally forced the [[Great House]]s to develop the [[loom]]s. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Lungbarrow (novel)}}, {{cs|Gallifrey: A Rough Guide (short story)}})


Noting with a twinkle in his eye that the son of a Time Lord father and a human mother would make for "[[The Doctor's species|interesting parentage]]", the [[Seventh Doctor]], upon learning that Leela was expecting, advised her to name the child [[The Doctor's name|after him]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|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 [[Romana II|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 [[the Homeworld|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]]: {{cs|Jealous, Possessive (short story)}})
 
When the [[Seventh Doctor]] learned that Leela was expecting, he looked into her eyes for a long moment, as if recognising something there. Noting that the son of a Time Lord father and human mother would have an "[[The Doctor's species|unusual pedigree]]", he asked her to name the child [[The Doctor's name|after him]]. Leela looked startled, then nodded. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Lungbarrow (novel)}})
 
The event of the child's birth was included in a [[tour]] run by a time travelling [[tour operator (Gallifrey: A Rough Guide)|tour operator]], thoughout the history of [[Gallifrey]] after its [[destruction]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Gallifrey: A Rough Guide (short story)}})

*[[Marc Platt]] intended the ending of ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|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.<ref>"The Fall of the House of Gold Usher", [[DWM 305]]</ref>
* [[Marc Platt]] intended the ending of ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'' to imply that Leela and Andred's child would eventually travel back to the [[Dark Times]] and become [[the Other]], who ultimately dissolves himself in the [[Loom]] network to be rewoven as the [[First Doctor]], explaining how he can be "half-human on [his] mother's side" but also Loom-born.<ref>[[DWM 305]], "The Fall of the House of Gold Usher"</ref>
* The ''[[Faction Paradox (series)|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.
* The ''[[Faction Paradox (series)|Faction Paradox]]'' character [[Intrepid]] may have been intended to be an older version of Leela and Andred's child. Intrepid is said to be half-human, half-[[Time Lord|Homeworlder]], but their parentage and birth name are never given.
