Surprise! Here's that epilogue I promised! Please enjoy!

Jadzia Dax stood at the viewport in her quarters, staring off into space. Many thoughts were running through her mind as she stared at the part of space where the wormhole is, where her dearest and oldest friend was. She smiled softly and turned from the window to sit down; her feet and back weren't too good these days. She became lost in her thoughts again as she remembered back to when her life had changed forever.

----

Dax entered the Bajoran Shrine to pray to the Prophets. She had never done such a thing, and she needed all the help she could get concerning her and Worf being able to conceive a child. She slowly walked towards the Orb, but stopped. There was an eeriness to the room that made Jadzia uncomfortable. She decided to come back later when there were more Bajorans in the shrine. Just as she was about to walk out, she heard the sound of a transporter. She turned around and saw a Cardassian had materialized in the chamber.

Dukat.

However, she noticed something different about him, as he approached the Orb. It was almost like he was possessed…

"…died last year after being attacked by a Pah-wraith…"

She suddenly knew what was going on. She would've been killed by Dukat! She tapped her combadge, "Dax to security, intruder alert."

However, it didn't make a difference. Dukat still deposited the Pah-wraith into the Orb, thus into the Temple. He dematerialized out of the room before security could catch him and all attempts to track the beam failed.

----

Dax didn't know how badly history had been altered from that day, but she knew it wasn't too bad. She lovingly caressed her swollen stomach, knowing she had made the right choice in altering history. She had personally seen the look on Worf's face when she was on the future DS9. He loved her so much and it showed in the Klingon.

The events had played out without much problem. The war had ended peacefully and Sisko had left the linear realm to join the Prophets. It was a sad, yet happy time. Dax had immediately volunteered to help comfort Jake with his loss, and a big loss it was. It was strange, though, since Jake preferred to turn to Dax with his problems rather than his stepmother, Kasidy. Dax figured it had to do with trust, and Dax knew that Jake trusted her more than anybody, besides his father.

"Kira to Dax."

Kira's voice broke Dax out of her thoughts, "Go ahead."

"The new counselor will be arriving shortly. Could you please give her a tour of the station when she arrives?"

"Colonel, are you sure that's wise considering my current state?" Dax asked.

"I know what you're going through right now, but the counselor is a Trill, and I thought maybe it'd be better on her if someone more familiar to her gave her the tour."

Dax felt her mind freeze up. A Trill counselor. It couldn't be…could it?

"Fine. I'm on my way," Dax said, struggling to stand up.

----

Dax walked, more like waddled down the corridor towards the airlock. She saw Colonel Kira standing there, waiting for the new crewmember. Dax walked up next to her and stared at the airlock door.

"Dax, I'm sorry to do this, but her report stated she was shy."

"No, Colonel. It's okay."

Kira nodded as they heard the hiss of the multi-doored airlock opening. Finally, the door to the corridor opened and it revealed a short, black-haired Trill woman. Dax felt her pulse quicken slightly at the sight of the familiar woman.

"Lieutenant Ezri Tigan, reporting for duty," the Trill said, giving Kira her transfer PADD.

"Welcome to Deep Space Nine. I'm Colonel Kira Nerys and this is Lieutenant Commander Jadzia Dax."

Ezri nodded to both of them.

"Dax, could you show Miss Tigan to her quarters then give her a tour of the station?"

"Of course. Right this way," Dax said gesturing for Ezri to follow her.

The two Trill walked down the corridor in silence before Ezri broke it, "So, you are the famous Dax?"

"Yup, that's me."

"It is truly an honor to meet you."

Dax chuckled. "You too. I've heard so much about you."

"Really?"

"Yes. I think you and me are going to be really good friends."
