Serving as a command officer on Deep Space 9 is demanding work. Serving as an officer while in the final weeks of pregnancy is even harder. Now former resistance fighter Major Kira (Nana Visitor), in the final weeks of carrying a child for the O'Briens, must face an even tougher task. She becomes the primary target of an anonymous angel of death, who seeks vengeance against her and her former partners in the Shakaar resistance cell.

After Odo (René Auberjonois) comes up with a list of suspects, headstrong Kira sets out to settle the matter her way. She steals the list, commandeers a runabout and embarks on a mission to defend her life ... and the life of the unborn child she carries.

Stardate Unknown
It is time. Kira (Nana Visitor), who took on the responsibility of carrying the O'Briens' unborn child when Keiko O'Brien (Rosalind Chao) could no longer safely bring the infant to term, goes into labor. Everyone on DS9 has long anticipated the event. But no one could have imagined an overlapping event that occurs on the station: Changeling-turned-humanoid Odo (René Auberjonois) becomes the parent of a shapeless, infant Changeling.

As new life comes to the station, so, too, do new joys, new responsibilities, new ways of looking at existence. Odo's joy, however, is short-lived. But what he learns from his brief parenting experience will stay with him an entire lifetime.
