Be right back; gonna go cry my eyes out. Brilliant job. In my opinion, I think the Doctor was lying when he said to Amy and Rory that it was his cot; I've got a feeling that he really did have kids once. Hm, we could always ask River. Haha. Brilliant job mate; well done.

Aww I love Amy's 'follow up' question at 0:26 :'(

@AtarahDerek XD With all the uber technology they had, making a cot last for millenia shouldn't be a problem for the Time Lords.

@AtarahDerek She was left on earth to marry some guy she'd fallen in love with, but since the time lords never had any problems with tracking down the Doctor or the Master (and seeing how the latter had to go as far as disguising himself as a human and fleeing to the end of the universe) it's fairly probable that she got dragged into the war.... Which, given her personality, wouldn't waste any time in making her lose it...

@KendrixTermina maybe the doctor and river's babies??

@Alanthos17 it most likely was his cot, his children's and his grandchildren's cot. The Doctor is from the ruling elite of his planet, he was offered the Presidency of his planet at one point in time; that could be why he ran or another reason to protect his family or he found out something which he did not like e.g not getting involved in the lives of other planets.
Aw. Sad, but a nice little connection of the different references to the Doctor's children.
(I always liked that one line from The Empty Child; "Before this war started I was a father and a grandfather... now I'm neither, but I'm still a doctor." "Yeah. I know the feeling.")

You can tell by how uncomfortable the doctor looks and how he pauses and doesn't answer the "have you ever had children" question that yes he was a father and a grandfather (it's canon). He just hasn't been those things in a long time since they are all dead and it obviously really upsets him to think about it so it's easier for him to just not really say anything. Plus it could be his cot and then used again when his kids were born.
