During the Xindi mission, Guitierrez became romantically involved with Sergeant Nelson Kemper. She didn't use contraception during their liasons because she had been told that she was unable to concieve a child. Nevertheless, Seven weeks after begining her relationship with Kemper, she found herself pregnant.

She kept this information to herself, fearing the reprecussions to both her career and Kemper's, and briefly considered having the pregancy terminated.. Guitierrez went on a recon mission with Corporal Hideaki Chang and Ensign Travis Mayweather that turned into a mission to destroy a Xindi refueling and mining depot. During the mission, Private Colin Eby sacrificed his life for Guitierrez and her unborn baby.

After this, Guitierrez decided to keep the baby, which was a girl. Guitierrez and Kemper were apparently among the few who were "in the loop" concerning the details of the faked death of Commander Charles Tucker III in 2161. Apparently, Tucker helped to raise Guitierrez's daughter and remained close to the family for many years. (ENT novel Last Full Measure)
