I'm sorry, I thought I had posted this chapter a long time ago but it was a mix up. So here it is! I don't own Code Lyoko.

Forever Lost: Chapter Twelve:

"Hey Yumi," Ulrich said with a smile.

"Um…uh…" she stuttered.

"Mommy!" Journey winded.

"Oh yeah," Yumi said coming back to reality, "Sorry sweetheart," She unlocked the door, fumbling with the things in her hands. Once she got the door open Journey raced inside.

"Joe, here, can you take this inside for mommy?" Yumi asked.

"Okay" he said happily taking the bags inside. Once they were inside Yumi shut the door, took a deep breath and turned to face Ulrich.

"Hi" she said lightly waving her hand.

"So How you doin'?" he asked awkwardly.

"I thought you were in New York?" Yumi said getting to the point.

"I was and now I'm not" he answered.

"Oh." Yumi said shifting her weight from one foot to the other, "Well what brings you here?"

"Just thought, since I'm in town that I should pay you a visit you know," he said not looking in her eyes, "since it's been 5 years and all."

""Yeah 5 years," Yumi said sounding annoyed, "Yep 5 long years." Ulrich, catching on to this, said,

"What's wrong?"

"What's wrong!" Yumi laughed, "What's wrong? That's a funny question."

"I don't see why" he said confused.

"Really? 'Cause I do. I think its real funny," she said laughing a little. Ulrich just stared at her not knowing what to say.

"Yep I thought that it was real funny how you left the country without a word to me!" Yumi said with a straight face, "Left me here to raise your kids basically all by myself!"

"Whoa, no one said that your kids are mine." Ulrich said pulling back some.

"Here we go again," Yumi stated with a sigh, "Ulrich there's no doubt in mind that Journey and Joe are your. Why can't you just except that!"

"Because I have no proof that they're mine!" he exclaimed, "And I would appreciate if you would stop pushin' these kids on me."

"I'm not tryna push them on you. I just thought that you would want to know that you got kids whether you like it or not! So why can't you take my word for it?" she stated.

"Because you were cheatin' on me at the time! There's no tellin' who you slept wit!" he yelled.

"Keep it down!" Yumi hissed, "I'm tellin' you that I didn't sleep with anyone but you the whole 2 years we were together and you know that!"

"No I don't. I was told that you were wit other guys, foolin' around wit them."

"That's right you were told that I was cheatin' on you. But did you actually see me with some other guy intimately?" she asked leaning on the wall.

"Yes and I told you who I saw you wit. You said he was some Jonathan or something" he answered.

"Yeah, John, and I told you that he was my brother. Did I not?" she asked.

"Yeah, but I highly doubt that that was your brother. I mean you're Japanese and he looked nothing like an oriental!" he exclaimed.

"That's 'cause he's not oriental" Yumi stated calmly.

"There! That's all the proof in the world to know that those kids can't possible be mine!" Ulrich yelled raising his hands in the air, "See that proves that he's not brother."

"Oh my God! I would never sleep with John that's disgusting!" Yumi exclaimed.

"Hey you didn't not me."

"Look, to prove to you that John is my brother and that that day was just me hangin' wit my brother I'll tell you the truth."

"The truth?" Ulrich said.

"Yes. The truth is John is my foster brother," she confessed, "And he has mental retardation that's why I was huggin' on him like that."

"Foster brother?" Ulrich raised an eyebrow in disbelief, "You have a foster brother?"

"Yes 3, John, Charles, and De'von, as a matter of fact." Yumi pointed out.

"You really expect me to believe that?"

"Yes, I mean, don't you remember? The picnic where you beat my dad at that game 6 years ago?" Yumi asked.

"Oh, that family reunion thing" He said remembering.

"It wasn't a family reunion, it was the Annual Foster Care Picnic, Ulrich!" she exclaimed.

"Foster care?" Ulrich stated, "You never said you were in foster care."

"You never asked," she said calmly.

"Well I guess I was wrong," he regretted sheepishly.

"Ya think. That's why you shouldn't jump to conclusions just 'cause yo friends say something stupid like that."

"I guess so," he said walking closer to her, "Forgive me?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"'Cause you went to New York with out tellin' me whether we were talkin' or not and 'cause you were gone for five years leavin' me alone to raise Journey and Joe by myself," she answered starting to get pissed again.

"Who?"

"The twins, Journey and Johan."

"Oh the two lil' guys who were standin' here."

"Yeah, yo kids."

"Oh. So- "He was cut off by Johan opening the door.

"Mommy, Journey's sick" he said staring at the two adults in the hall.

"What's wrong with her?" Yumi asked switching to "Mother mode".

"She throw up," he answered.

"Oh no," Yumi said under her breath as she walked past her son and into apartment.

"Journey!" she called out. She then heard muffled cries in the bathroom. When she walked in the room, she saw Journey bent over the toilet crying. Apparently she had vomited because there was some on her face and left hand. Yumi went into the utility closet and grabbed a face towel. She walked back in the bathroom, wet the towel and cleaned off Journey's face and hands. She washed the towel out and flushed the toilet.

"It's okay, sweetie" Yumi said softly to the crying girl.

"Mommy, m-my tum-my hur-hurts re-really bad" Journey said still crying.

"I know go lay down, okay,"

"Okay," she said and walked to the bedroom she and her brother shared.

"Who are you?" asked Johan looking to Ulrich.

"That's a hard question, kid," Ulrich said feeling uncomfortable and not know what to say.

"You tall."

"And you're short."

"What's your name?" Johan asked.

"Ulrich."

"Do you know my mommy?"

"Yeah I know her very well" Ulrich answered with a sly smile on his face.

"Do you know me?" Johan asked pointing at himself.

"No I don't. What's your name?" he asked kneeling down to Joe's eye level.

"Johan."

"Really?"

"Yep."

"And how old are you, Johan?"

"I'm 5 years old."

"Wow you're old! " Ulrich stated playfully.

"Nuh-uh! How old are you?"

"29"

"You old!" Johan laughed. Ulrich studied Johan's features. He was the spitting image of himself only 2x smaller. His personality, from what he saw, was just like Yumi's: nice, warm and loving.

"Are you gonna come in?" Johan asked making Ulrich come back to reality.

"I don't know" he said standing to his full height.

"Come on!" Johan said grabbing Ulrich's hand, "You can watch Rugrats wit me and my sister."

"Uh, I'm not to sure about that."

"Please?" Johan pleaded looking up at the man. Ulrich sighed.

"Why not."

"Yeah!" Johan exclaimed. Ulrich let the little boy drag him in the apartment and into the living room where, he sat on couch and let the Rugrats catch his attention.

Well here's chapter 12. I'm not really sure what to do next so if anyone has any ideas tell me. But in the mean time I hope you enjoyed this chapter and will review. Unto we meet again, good day.
