There are arcs in DS9. It came at the same period when shows with story arcs were first being made*, but it was still largely episodic.
*I would say, outside soaps, Babylon 5 was the first main TV show to have an arc or series of related arcs as its narrative core.

But it has been speculated that the character "Trelane", I think it was, was a member of the Q.
Doesn't wash Trelane had a mammy and a daddy. Outside of Amanda Q, Q's don't.
In Voyager, Q had a child. He wanted to have one with Janeway, but she refused.
