30   CONTINUED:

					KEIKO
			We await you with love...

	Shakaar taps the gong...

					SHAKAAR
			And welcome you into the world....

	As the rhythm continues without words, O'Brien comes 
	around from the head of the table, but Shakaar blocks 
	his path.

					SHAKAAR
				(quiet)
			Why don't you stay there?

					O'BRIEN
			I can't see from here.

					SHAKAAR
			Exactly.

	O'Brien realizes Shakaar doesn't want him to see Kira's 
	nakedness.

					O'BRIEN
			Look, it's my baby.

	Y'Pora scolds them --

					Y'PORA
			Shh.

	But they keep at it --

					SHAKAAR
			I think it would make Nerys
			uncomfortable.

					O'BRIEN
			She's been living in my home for
			the last five months.

					KEIKO
			Ouiet.

					SHAKAAR
			What's that supposed to mean?

	O'Brien tries to move around him, but Shakaar won't let 
	him.

					O'BRIEN
			I missed Molly's birth, I'm not
			about to miss this one.
