The Doctor's children
The Doctor had various children across their many lives.
Known children[[edit] | [edit source]]
One incarnation of the Doctor had thirteen children with his wife "Patience". Susan Foreman's father was the eldest of these children. (PROSE: Cold Fusion) Even though some accounts claimed that Gallifreyans were sterile after Pythia's Curse, (PROSE: Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible, et. al) the Curator claimed otherwise when he said one of Susan Foreman's parents was a child of the Doctor via natural means. (PROSE: The Day of the Doctor) In some accounts, wherein the Doctor and Susan were shown to be human, this therefore meant that the Doctor's child whom parented Susan was also human. (TV: The Sensorites [+]Loading...["The Sensorites (TV story)"], etc.)
The Twelfth Doctor stated he took the daughter of the President of the High Council away from Gallifrey with him, (TV: Hell Bent) with A Brief History of Time Lords claiming that Susan had been this daughter. Therefore, one of the Doctor's children would have been President at that time. (PROSE: A Brief History of Time Lords)
According to one account, the Doctor's children died along with the Doctor's brother and the rest of the Doctor's family when the Doctor was forced to destroy both the Time Lords and the Daleks to bring an end to the Last Great Time War. (PROSE: Doctor Who: The Encyclopedia [+]Loading...["Doctor Who: The Encyclopedia (2007 reference book)"])
Miranda Dawkins, raised as his adopted daughter by the Eighth Doctor, was the biological future of his own future self "the Emperor". (PROSE: Father Time) Edward Grove considered himself a child of the Eighth Doctor because the time paradox he caused when he rescued Charlotte Pollard gave him life. (AUDIO: The Chimes of Midnight) So did the Sound creature. (AUDIO: Scherzo (audio story))
A new daughter, Jenny, was artificially created from his DNA through a progenation machine. The Doctor was reminded of all the children he had lost "a long time ago" and ultimately accepted her as his family, only for her to seemingly die in his arms. (TV: The Doctor's Daughter)
I know. I'm just. When I look at her now, I can see them. The hole they left, all the pain that filled it. I just don't know if I can face that every day.
The Sapling was a sapling of the Planting who was infused with some of the memories of the Eleventh Doctor and Alice Obiefune as his "progenitors". (COMIC: The Scream, et al)
