Odd and Sam had gone round Ulrich's and Yumi's every day since the incident with the scan and even though they appreciated it, Ulrich and Yumi was getting fed-up of their ever constant presence in the house. Each morning they tended to come just after 9am and leave at the latest they could.

"They must feel really guilty you know" Ulrich sighed sipping coffee and waiting to hear the bell ring signalling their arrival.

"I know but I'm getting tired of it, they shouldn't feel guilty anyway. I wish I'd never picked up at that scan now" Yumi said sitting next to Ulrich and looking around her. "And I'm getting tired of this place!"

"I know, I am too, but we have to wait to get jobs to afford a house or apartment and for that we need to know if we passed our exams and we have yet to get the results" Ulrich said pulling her into a hug

"Yeah and I'm getting tired of waiting for the mail to come to see if our results are their too!" Yumi sighed. "I'm just getting tired of life"

Ulrich looked at her worryingly

Yumi just shook her head knowing what Ulrich was thinking

"I'm not depressed or anything like that but I just want something big and happy to happen in our lives, the last thing that was big and happy was our wedding"

Ulrich stayed silent not knowing what to say and slightly blaming himself for her unhappiness.

"Look Yumi, I'm sorry-"

"Ulrich it isn't your fault, you've only ever been there for me and loved me and done everything possible for me, that's what makes me thankful when I think of all the things I'm fed-up with, 'coz I've got you" Yumi said placing her hand on his leg.

Ding-dong

They both sighed but Ulrich grabbed her hand, putting his finger on his mouth, letting her know to stay silent

After about 15 minutes of knocking and phone-calling, they heard them saying 'must have gone out and forgot to tell us'

Yumi smiled at him.

"I really can't stand another day of them being sympathetic to us through guilt and plus we're going out"

"Really? Where?" Yumi asked

"Yeah shopping!" Ulrich said knowing Yumi

"What for?" Yumi said getting suspicious

"Well since the Christmas party is in 5 days, I thought we could both do with a nice outfit" Ulrich said waiting to see the smile appear on Yumi's face.

He loved it when he was right. The smile that appeared on Yumi's face lit the room up.

But it faded slightly:

"Money-"She started

"Got my money three days ago but haven't spent a bit of it"

Yumi's full smile returned and she grabbed the keys off the counter, grabbed their jackets, and lastly pulled Ulrich off his seat and out of the door!

Ulrich smiled as he saw Yumi's mind racing onto what sort of outfit she wanted to get.

If going out to but an outfit made her this happy he could only imagine what sort of happiness he would see when they shopped for a new place.

But he knew that whatever they lived in, Yumi would love him and they made him the happiest guy in the world.
