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]]: | When the [[Seventh Doctor]] learned that Leela was expecting, he looked into her eyes for a long moment, as if recognising something there.
