"Dana!" K'Lara screamed when she saw the doctor fall to the floor. She tried to get out of bed, but she was still too weak from giving birth. She then cried for Lataro. "Jon! Get in here!"
Lataro burst into the hut and instantly saw Nori lying motionless on the floor. He went to her and checked for a pulse. He found one, but it was very faint. He then went to K'Lara.
"I'm going to get Stephen. I'll be right back."
"I want to see my baby," K'Lara whispered before he moved. "Please."
Jon smiled and went over to the crib. He picked up the baby and set it K'Lara's arms. He saw the tears in her eyes and he brushed a lock of hair from her face.
"I'll be right back. Dana needs help."
K'Lara nodded and Lataro left the hut in search of Captain Maruu. K'Lara looked at Nori then at the baby. She felt a strange sense of relief and pain at both having the baby and watching her friend faint before her eyes, and she was powerless to do anything about it.
"What is happening here, little one?" K'Lara asked her baby. "One person is dying while another is barely starting. It all seems strange, but in this career anything is possible."
The baby cooed and she looked at him. She smiled as his eyes blazed with an intense light. He was part-Klingon, part-Telian, and part-Human. A strange mixture of races all living harmoniously in one tiny body. She could see the faint ridges on his forehead and he had Lataro's eyes.
"What to call you?" she whispered to him as she stared deep into his eyes. She then smiled, "How about T'Lan Alexander Lataro?"
The baby cooed again and K'Lara couldn't help but cry. Cry for the baby she was given and cry for her friend Dana.
