What happen to Trip's Baby Girl?

Ferengi Prime 5

Lieutenant Commander
Red Shirt
It seems to have been forgotten that Trip was a father before he and T'Pol had a child. I ask: "What happen to Trip's baby girl?" It happen in season one Episode 5: Unexpected. Where he and a Xyrillian female created the first crossbreed in human and in Xyrillian history and no one seems to give a hoot. He goes back to the Xyrillian ship and they transfer the baby girl to a new host and the end. The baby is half human and Trip seem not to care as well as anyone else. It seems this historic event goes by as a footnote... It seems it was an attempt at humor in the episode... You know guy gets pregnant, joke...
 
I believe it's stated in the episode by Phlox that the child is actually not half-human and that the Xyrillian provided all of the genetic material while Trip simply acted as a surrogate for gestation. This is perhaps why Trip had no interest in keeping up with the child's affairs, since it technically wasn't his at all.

You are correct I went digging...

He visits Phlox, who tells him that he is pregnant (though Phlox also states no genetic material is taken from the male involved).

So now we have an immaculate conception. The Xyrillians might start using humans as host to make clones of themselves. They may go to earth and kidnap humans for cloning themselves... The horror... Oh, again no big deal immaculate conception just another day in space...

Taking a quick look at Memory Alpha and Memory Beta she doesn't seem to show up again in any book/short story/comic/video game...

No we don't. The immaculate conception was to do with Mary being born free of original sin.

You're likely thinking of the virgin birth, but it's not really that either. In Unexpected, there is an act of conception performed between two people, after which one of them is pregnant.
 
Probably lived a peaceful and relatively ordinary life on the Xyrillian home world, just like quadrillions of other similar beings across the galaxy. Her only childhood trauma was when the story of her conception was told at family gatherings. Kind of like when your mom tells everyone that story about you biting the dog's nose because your older brother told you it was licorice.
 
The Xyrillian's and the lost baby another lost and forgotten opportunity for future Star Trek series...
 

So now we have an immaculate conception. The Xyrillians might start using humans as host to make cones of themselves. They may go to earth and kidnap humans for coning themselves... The horror... Oh, again no big deal immaculate conception just another day in space...

Waffle or sugar cone?
 
Traffic cone.

Since we're talking about aliens and coning, maybe the Xyrillians are really coneheads in disguise
