Yumi returned tothe dark bedroom and looked over at the clock, it read 6:05am.
Carefully and quietly removing clothes from the wardrobe, Yumi ran over what she had eaten last night to cause her to be sick.
Suddenly, that familiar lump returned in her throat and she dashed to the bathroom.
Ulrich awoke and looked over to see clothes dumped on the floor, no Yumi in bed and the bedroom door wide open. Ulrich ventured out of their bedroom and saw the bathroom light on, he slowly opened the door and watched as Yumi began to be sick in the toilet. Ulrich's eyes lit up as he reached a conclusion of the reason she was being sick.
After Yumi flushed the toilet, washed her face and had a drink of water, he hugged her from behind whispering into her ear the words:
"We did it!"
Yumi fathomed out what he meant and once she had figured it out smiled and mentally cursed herself for not realising herself what this meant.
"I've got to go and check at the doctor's first Ulrich before we can be sure that I am" she warned. He nodded but smiled all the same at the thought of Yumi being pregnant again.
Krystal came bounding out of school happily with Twinkle and they skipped to meet their dads in the playground.
Upon seeing Krystal, Ulrich smiled and reminded Odd to come round to their house tonight.
"Why is Uncle Odd coming round tonight Daddy?" she asked once they were inside the car
"Me and mommy will tell you together" he smiled, his mind still upon the news he had heard earlier.
"Mommy, why is Uncle Odd coming round tonight?" Krystal asked once inside the house.
She smiled and looked at Ulrich.
"Honey, we've got something to tell you" Yumi spoke calmly.
Ulrich wrapped his arms around Yumi and waited for her to tell their daughter.
"You're going to have a brother or sister like Twinkle!" Yumi grinned.
Once Krystal had realised what her mother had said she smiled and jumped up and down in excitement. She hugged her mother and then her father. She then went upstairs to change but all the way she was chanting the words: 'I'm going to have a little brother or sister!" at the top of your voice.
When the gang had found out the news, they had all smiled and toasted the baby to be and congratulated Yumi and Ulrich.
Twinkle had warned Krystal of the sleepless nights she would receive from the baby but Krystal had merely shrugged.
After the gang left, Ulrich rang his parents to tell them of the pregnancy. They were delighted and wished them luck through the pregnancy.
Yumi had already written a letter and took it to the post office to be sent to Japan as soon as they knew she was pregnant informing her mother.
After settling Krystal into bed, Yumi sat down with Ulrich who wrapped his arms around her. He also did something that he used to do in England during Yumi being pregnant with Krystal, he placed a hand over Yumi's stomach and smiled own at her stomach. They smiled at one another. They had done it!
