Jack has no idea about how any of it works. Or if he does, he won't tell me.
It's tempting, but...to spend six months with you and Teresa? Six months without Arthur? I don't know which would hurt more.
But it's not about what makes a real family, it's about how free I am to have one with you and Teresa. Not because of you two, because of Arthur I can't be any more a part of our childrens' lives than I have been. It wouldn't be fair on them if suddenly Arthur should find out and I'd have to abandon them altogether...and I won't keep on deceiving him. He'd know something was wrong, even if he didn't know what.
...It may be too early yet for a good solution to this.
As for you still learning who you are and what you can do, I think that's wonderful for them. You're going to be a real inspiration for them, with a better idea of the possibilities of life than any other Ood has had before. I can't think of a better role model.

Oh, darling...
You're right, it's a terrible idea.
And I'd love it too.
If only I could.
