       DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Visitor" - REV. 08/08/95 ACT FOUR      41.

					SISKO 
			Do I...
				(smiles) 
			-- have any grandchildren?

					ADULT JAKE
				(smiles) 
			Not yet.

					KORENA 
			We were married in New Orleans, in 
			your father's restaurant.

	This brings a smile to Sisko's face.

					ADULT JAKE 
			He insisted. Just about everyone 
			came. Dax, Kira, O'Brien...

					SISKO
			That must've been something...

	A quiet moment hangs in the air, as heavy as all the 
	years Sisko's missed. Suddenly Jake makes as if to 
	stand.

					ADULT JAKE 
			I'm going to call Starfleet, see 
			what's taking so long.

					SISKO
				(stopping him) 
			Jake. They'll get here as 
			soon as they can. Talk to me. I've 
			missed so much. Let's not waste 
			what little time we have.

	Jake nods, but he can't think of where to begin... so 
	much has happened. Korena sees his distress and 
	reaches to get copies of Jake's two books off a nearby 
	table.

					KORENA 
			I have a feeling you might want to 
			see these... they're Jake's.

	Sisko takes them, smiles with pride. He's pleased, but 
	at the same time he's struck by the years represented 
	in the two volumes, years he missed.

					SISKO 
			You did it. I always knew you 
			would...
