After the Doctor asked him to excuse them, Richard had gone away to the bar to have a drink to calm his nerves while he waited for the doctors to finish their jobs.
Richard had remained at the bar for a while because Doctor Ford had decided to take his time by also making sure that Henry and Heidi Ford were well acquainted with Lisa even though everyone had tried to explain to him that he wasn't dying and this wasn't exactly the time to be making introductions.
He stared at the copy of their marriage licence which had been the only thing his mother had left behind before she left for another country.
It was quite funny that only a piece of paper meant and dictated so much.
Just one piece of paper meant they were now family, how weird.
He was still thinking about it when he heard footsteps and turned around to find Doctor Ford approaching him along with his two children.
