Back in Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, there was subplot in the movie about Chekov and Terrell snooping around Khan’s cargo containers. Chekov and Terrell stand near the cargo holds, and Chekov notices something, a face looking at him through a window in the hold.
You see there was suppose to be a child with Khan’s band of outlaws. The message boards noted that there was listed a prop of a painting of Khan, his wife and a baby. This gives us edivnce that Khan was supposed to have a child in the film. I know the scenes below were filmed. Here’s what makes it creepy, the child gets killed with the rest of the Reliant crew when it blows up, where is what’s worst, the child was suppose to claim up to the Genisis device and touch it right before it blows up, very creepy. It would have changed the tone of the movie completely if they kept it in. Here are the scenes the picture of the child is above.
Tentatively they come over to it, looking around -
As Chekov looks at the porthole, a face suddenly looks back! It is the face of a CHILD! The Apparition scares the daylights out of Chekov -- and us. He screams.

CHEKOV

child --
He points. The porthole is empty.
TERRELL
You're crazy -- !
CHEKOV

TERRELL
There's an air-lock.
He points and they go into the airlock.

floor, smiling at them (i.e., the wall) is a BABY.
They wander as they talk, picking up objects that be-
speak a fairly sophisticated ad hoc environment: a
laboratory in one hold; a kitchen; A LARGE SAND TANK
filled with disgusting CETI EELS.
ABRUPTLY A SOUND -- They start: CHILD'S GURGLE.

I told you! I told you I saw a --

Ssssh!
213A INT. RELIANT TRANSPORTER ROOM 213A
There sits the Genesis torpedo: lights start blinking
in response. As we watch, the CHILD we met on Ceti Alpha
walks to the torpedo and smiles at the lights.
