    [About the baby being named "Sean", which in Bajoran means "swamp"]
    But it would suck growing up surrounded by people who think your name sounds kinda gross. I knew a kid named Dung in college and believe me, he wasn't exactly thrilled about his name (which was perfectly fine in his own culture). In any case, the O'Brien's gave their baby a good traditional Japanese name... Kirayoshi.
Kira has finally gone into labor, but Odo is uninterested, dealing with his own "baby." The former Changeling has purchased an ailing infant Changeling from Quark, and, after Bashir treats the creature, begins the task of trying to teach his "child" to shapeshift from its natural state of goo. He is clearly displeased when Dr. Mora, the Bajoran scientist who "raised" Odo, arrives on the station to help. To Odo's horror and disgust, Mora insists on probing and measuring the creature, and the two clash over how to teach the infant.
