The Doctor's POV (Sorry if some characters in this chapter are heavily out of character)

"Do you know where Jenny is, Doctor?" Missy asked.

"Err..." I started as I paced the room, "Well... I assumed that you would know."

"Wow." Ashildr said as she came into the room, "What a parent you are."

"I'm stressed! I'm not a bad parent, I just don't really have time to keep track of everyone!" I said. Clara glared at me, "Look, I'm sure she's fine! She's strong. Sometimes stronger than me..." I assured.

"Oh look, Clara! The Doctor doesn't have time to keep track of his own children!" River said as she exited the TARDIS, she closed the door behind her.

"Hey, River..." Missy started. River raised her eyebrow at Missy, "Shush." She simply said.

"But it's true though, isn't it?" River exclaimed, "How is he going to be able to care for another child when he doesn't even know where or when Jenny is?"

"You mean another two children. Twins." Missy replied.

"Oh trust me... it's one child. One singular Gallifreyan slash Human child. There are no twins!" River explained, "I forced the Tardis to show me the scans."

"Wh-What?" Clara asked in confusion.

"Well I shouldn't be the one to break it to you!" River replied as she left the room towards the kitchen.

"Doctor?" Clara whispered.

"What is River going on about?" Ashildr questioned.

"Clara I'm sorry but... I have already seen the scans." I said.

"Scans? Don't go scanning my daughter without my permission, Doctor!" Missy exclaimed with a serious tone. I raised my eyebrow at her.

"Are you okay, Missy?" I asked in confusion at her sudden 'protectiveness'.

"Yes! Why wouldn't I be?" Missy sat on the sofa, she sighed, "I really feel like setting something on fire..."

"No! No more fires!" I said.

"Two things..." Clara started, "One: why are you protective all of a sudden?" She asked Missy, "And two: What did the scan say exactly?" She asked me with a hint of worry. I gently grabbed her hand and took her into the TARDIS, closing the door behind us with my free hand.

"Clara..." I placed my hands on her shoulders, "Do you want to see the scan or do you want me to tell you?"

"I erm... When did you have the time to see it?" She asked trying not to think about the tragic information she was about to receive. Information that a mother would never want to hear.

I sighed as I pulled her into my arms, "When we were in the Tardis with River... The Tardis signalled that the scan was complete. I quickly read it before I turned it off." She pulled away and went to the opposite side of the console,

"So you lied to me about not seeing the scan?" She questioned.

"Considering that we were under threat by a headless Cyborg! I didn't want you to worry!"

"The Tardis was in on it, I assume?"

I nodded, "She promised me that she wouldn't let you see the scan until I was with you."

"Just. Show me the results." she finally said.

Missy's POV

"Jack! Where have you ran off to?" I asked as I held the phone to my ear.
