Odd was once again staring down at the baby scan proudly. Proud to think that he and Sam had created another life. Proud to think that he was going to be a Dad and he was glad that he Sam was the mother of his child.

'Gee, I guess Ulrich thought all this, 'cept with Yumi of course! I think I really understand what Ulrich was going through now. 'coz if anything happened to my child I don't think I would be able to cope. I always knew Ulrich was brave but this brave...

"Odd they're here" Sam yelled him from the kitchen.

"Hey guys" Odd said happily walking into the kitchen.

Aelita noticed his happiness and smiled.

"You're happy" Aelita said still smiling.

Odd just nodded.

"Wanna play on the playstation Ulrich?" Odd said thinking of something to do before they were booked to go and eat.

"Err, sure"

"Big kids!" Yumi said noticing the silence that had arisen and was confused by it.

"Yeah, totally!" Sam said awkwardly.

Yumi even more confused.

"So what was Odd so happy about?" Yumi said trying once more to make conversation.

She saw Sam give Aelita a look and then Aelita give Jeremie the same look.

"OK guys, is there something wrong?" Yumi said getting angry

"No, what made you think that?" Sam too quickly.

Yumi, before getting too angry, walked into the living room to Ulrich and Odd who were too busy with the game to notice her.

She was about to sit down when she noticed something on the floor next to her. The scan.

She picked it up and looked down and it. She knew why Odd was so happy now and why they didn't want to tell her.

Looking at the scan properly she could see the baby's head. A tear dropped down her cheek when she remembered looking at her first scan on holiday before she knew that her baby had died. Ulrich had wrapped an arm around her saying 'I told you the baby would be alright, didn't I?"

Another tear dropped down Yumi's cheek at the thought of being told that her baby had died.

Yumi let out a sob which caused Ulrich and Odd to know her presence was their. They both turned round and saw Yumi with tears in her eyes and cheeks.

Odd looked confused until he saw the scan in her hands. Ulrich who had also seen the scan had pulled her into a hug, slowly taking the scan away from her and placing it on the stool beside them, and pulled her onto the sofa.

Yumi had started at cry fully into Ulrich's chest.

"Odd can you call us a taxi, we walked here, please" Ulrich whispered. Odd went into the kitchen to where his mobile was.

Ulrich knew that there was nothing he could say to comfort Yumi so he just let her cry onto him and wished that the taxi would be here soon.

Odd came in telling him that the taxi would be there in 10 minutes.

"Thanks" Ulrich again whispered.

Odd must have told Jeremie, Aelita and Sam to stay in the kitchen as they didn't come into the living room the entire time.

Odd had whispered 'sorry' to Ulrich once or twice but Ulrich couldn't answer him or it would have made Yumi even more saddened as well as guilty. He knew she was feeling guilty because she didn't move her head once from his chest to see what was happening around her.

There was a beep from outside letting them know the taxi was here.

"Thanks Odd" Ulrich said as he picked Yumi up knowing she didn't want to see her friends in the kitchen.

Yumi put her face in Ulrich's chest as new tears found their way to Yumi's eyes.

Everyone in the kitchen said goodbye and sorry to Ulrich and Yumi.

Yumi got herself into the taxi but cuddled up to Ulrich saying sorry over and over again and each time Ulrich saying don't be silly.

"It just brought back the memories from the hospital"

Ulrich moved her closer to him.

"I thought it was getting better, Ulrich" Yumi said wiping her make-up and tear stained eyes.

"and it is, today was just a rougher day" Ulrich said sighing "We'll get through it and I think we've already proven that we can and we will"

Yumi nodded and was glad when she saw her flat.

Yumi had decided to have a relaxing bath so Ulrich decided to ring Odd to say what he wanted to say but couldn't.

"Hullo?

"Hey, Odd, it's Ulrich"

"Oh, how's Yumi now?"

"She's better, much better"

"Good, look I'm sorry for leaving that around when I knew you guys were coming it was-"

"Odd, don't be stupid. Our sadness shouldn't stop your happiness. When Yumi saw that scan she remembered the hospital and that's why she cried not because she saw the scan it's because she remembered, so don't you dare feel guilty. I want to say sorry for ruining today for you-"

"Oh no you don't, it wasn't yours or Yumi's fault, things happen, ok?"

"Ok well I best go"

"Yeah me too, bye"

"Bye" Ulrich hung up and sighed.

He knew that Yumi would be feeling guilty for spoiling their day but like Odd said, it wasn't her fault. She got upset. she couldn't help it.

Yumi walked into the living room with just Ulrich's long t-shirt and knickers on.

She cuddled up to Ulrich.

"I should phone Odd to apologize"

"He doesn't want to hear it, Yumi, it wasn't your fault"

"But it was if I hadn't cried-"

"Yumi you couldn't help it. You got upset"

"Have you already phoned him?"

"Yeah"

Yumi looked at Ulrich and then nodded.

"I've had enough" Yumi sighed.

"Of what?" Ulrich said with a bit of worry

"Of life. It doesn't seem to like us-"

"If it didn't like us, then why did it make me the happiest man alive when we married? If it didn't like us, then why have we got such great friends that help us? If it didn't like us, then why are we still together?"

Yumi was speechless at this

"Yumi, they don't say life is like a rollercoaster for nothing."

Yumi nodded and cuddled into Ulrich more and smiled a little smile. Ulrich has been with her through all the good and bad stuff that has happened to her and them.

Her parents arguing-bad

Aelita being materialized-good

And now was their current situation. They were happy married but was going through a bad time due to the loss of their baby. But as long as Ulrich was there with her she felt like she could over come what ever life threw at her.
