12A CLOSE ON O'BRIEN

	trying to not show his inner tension. As the song

			Make a wish.

	O'Brien blows out the candles. He looks over to Keiko,

	Keiko sets down the cake and steps over to O'Brien, 
	greeting him with a loving kiss on the cheek.

					KEIKO
			Happy birthday, sweetheart.

	O'Brien nods and forces a smile. Keiko takes a drink 
	from Bashir's tray, handing it to her husband.
