Kisses and Angels Chapter 4

"So let me get this straight," said Doctor Bashir to Kira. "You want me to marry you and Dukat in a Bajoran wedding ceremony?"

"Exactly, Doctor. Just the three of us in my quarters for a couple of hours."

"Fine. When?"

"In two hours."

Julian nodded. He had a felling this was going to be difficult.

TWO HOURS LATER

Kira's Quarters

Julian rang the chime on the door to Kira's quarters. After a minute he heard, "Come," and walked in. The quarters where lit by three candles. Kira was pouring some liquid into a bowl and Dukat was sitting on the bed looking like he was a bit freaked out by this. Kira turned around and walked over to Julian. She handed him a piece of a paper. "What is this?" he asked.

"It's what you have to say while Dukat and I drink from the bowl."

"Oh. How long is this going to take?"

"However long it takes to say the words."

"Oh. Do we start now?"

Kira nodded and got the bowl. She took the first drink. Julian started speaking, "Boray pree hadokee. Tolata impara boresh. Preeya Dukat, Preeya Nerys, Abrem varo atel."

Kira put the bowl down and kissed Dukat gently. Julian was a bit surprised that either of them even went through with the ceremony.

"Um... May I leave now?" asked Julian.

"Yes, Doctor, you can leave," answered Kira.

After Julian left Marielle promptly started crying. "Guess I need to feed her," said Kira.

"I'll get the bottle," said Dukat.

Kira sat down on her side of the bed with her daughter in her arms. Dukat came back from the other room with the bottle and sat down beside Kira. Giving her the bottle he said, "I love you, Nerys,"

Kira smiled. "I love you to, Dukat."
