Sam had to stay in the hospital over the next few days as well as the baby.
The baby, now named, Twinkle, had amazed the doctors being very strong and not needing most medication that most premature babies do need.
4 days after the birth of Twinkle. Sam and her baby were allowed home.
Odd had proudly collected them and took them home.
The gang came round the following afternoon to see the baby.
"Oh, she's so precious" Aelita whispered with Twinkle in her arms.
Twinkle was awake and looking up and the pink-haired girl in wonder.
Aelita carefully passed Twinkle to Jeremie who looked down at Twinkle and smiled.
He looked up at Odd and saw the sweetest smile on his face.
Jeremie looked at Ulrich who was sitting in the corner with Yumi discussing quietly their exams which they still hadn't found out.
Ulrich sensed someone looking at him and looked over at the rest of the gang and sure enough Jeremie was staring at him with Twinkle in his arms.
Jeremie wasn't sure what to do. He didn't want to upset Ulrich or Yumi but he didn't know if he was meant to pass Twinkle to them.
Ulrich looked at Yumi who nodded.
Yumi stood and walked over to Jeremie and took Twinkle from him gently and slowly.
Ulrich watched Yumi carefully not knowing what to expect.
Yumi turned round to look at Ulrich. Yumi had a tear in her eye but she beckoned Ulrich to her.
Ulrich got up and looked at Yumi with a baby in her arms, he felt a lump rise in his throat at the thought that if his child hadn't of died, this would be a regular sight.
Yumi looked at Ulrich and could tell he was thinking.
Silence seemed to echo through the room. Yumi, now with frequent tears rolling down her cheek, passed Twinkle to her husband.
Ulrich looked down at her tiny face. She was looking at him taking in every detail of his face.
A single tear dropped down Ulrich's face.
"She looks like you, Sam" Ulrich said wanting to break the tension.
Sam smiled "Except her eyes"
"Yeah, her father's eyes" Ulrich breathed.
Odd looked up at Ulrich with an admired look on his face.
Odd felt more respect to Ulrich than he ever had. He felt sure that if the same thing had happened to him, he wouldn't have been able to cope.
Yumi was staring at Ulrich and she felt a last tear drop fall of her cheek.
Ulrich passed Twinkle back over to Sam and looked at Yumi, who smiled at him.
"Well we should be off see if our mail has come with those dreaded results" Yumi whispered holding Ulrich's hand
"OK bye"
After Ulrich and Yumi had left, Sam put Twinkle to bed, when she returned everyone was talking about Ulrich and Yumi.
"They have to be the bravest people I know" Odd said wrapping an arm around Sam.
"They are" Sam said "Because they have each other"
