DOCTOR: I'm happy to report you have a healthy baby boy.
CORDELIA: Oh, great. But I'm not the mother.
Doctor: Oh, I'm sorry. (turns to Fred) I'm happy to report you have a healthy baby boy.
FRED: Oh. Me neither.
WESLEY: I'm afraid the mother is, ah, no longer in the picture.
DOCTOR: I see. Well, his height and weight are in the ninety percentile. We gave him his vitamin K and his PKU and he's doing very well. We don't seem to have his - what's his name?
ANGEL: (arriving) Connor. His name is Connor.
