"I'm what!" She shrieked.

Jeremie winced. "I told you you weren't going to like it."

"But-but-"

"Aelita. Calm down."

"I am calm!"

He looked at her.

"Ok, so I'm not calm." She said. She sat down on the edge of the platform. "How could I get pregnant?"

"You really don't know?" He asked, startled. How could she not know something like that?

"No." She said. "I have no idea."

"It doesn't matter." He said finally. He took one of ther hands and helped her up. "Let's get out of here."

"Ok."

They stepped into the wall.

"There you two are!" Yumi greeted them as they exited.

"We've been looking all over for you." Ulrich said.

"You should have checked here first." Jermie said.

"Yeah. Ok, listen." Yumi said. "Sissi, Milly and Hope are on Lyoko-"

"Lyoko? How did they get to Lyoko?" Aelita asked.

"We don't know." Ulrich said. "But there's an activated tower in the polar region."

"Last I heard, they were going to see if Hope could deactivate it." Yumi put it.

"Ok then." Jeremie said. "What about Odd and timiya?"

"They went to see if Caramela can help us." Ulrich said.

"Can we get out of here?" Aelita asked suddenly. "I don't like this place."

"Sure." Jeremie said. "Which way is the tower?"

"That way." Ulrich said, pointing

Yumi nodded.

"Let's go."

They began to run.

"What was that?" Milly asked.

"I have no idea." Sissi said. "Hope?"

"Yes?"

"What was that?" Sissi repeated, too stunned to be annoyed.

"Oh, that." Hope said standing up and shrugging. "That's just something at sometimes happens."

Sissi frowned but let it go.

"The activated tower is in the polar region." Milly said.

They entered the tower.

Odd, Timiya, and Caramela exited the tower in the swamp where Jeremi and Aelita had been.

Just then Jeremie, Aelita, Yumi and Ulrich ran into view.

"Hey!" Odd called.

"Hello, Odd." Yumi said as they stopped. "Timiya, Caramela."

"Looks like you go yourselves unlost." Odd said to Yumi and Ulrich.

"Is that even a word?" Timiya asked.

Odd chose to ignore her. "And you two are unparalyzed."

"That's not a word either!"

Before anyone could respond, Caramela cut in. "I believe you needed my assistance."

"Yeah." Yumi said. "Can you get us to Lyoko without breaking the time barrier?"

"The barrier has moved." Caramel said after a while. "It has expanded to cover your Lyoko."

"Oh?"

"It's still explanding." Caramela said slowly. "It will continue to expand until it covers your Earth as well." She paused. "It shouldn't expand." She said the last worriedly.

"Could this be Xana's attack?"

"It doesn't seem harmful." Aelita said.

"No, wait." Timiya said. "It means Milly and I'll be missed sooner."

"Yeah, and?" Odd asked.

"No, I get it." Ulrich said. "More missing people. Eventually, someone will find the factory."

"Let's just deactivate the tower."

Caramela nodded. They closed teir eyes.

And opened them on Lyoko.

"Ok, where's the tower?" Ulrich asked.

"In the polar region, according to Sissi." Yumi said. "Anyone know where there's a passage tower?"

"That way." Aelita said, pointing.

Hope stood in front of the tower. She put her hands against the sides and turned to look at Sissi.

"How does this work, again?" She asked.

"I don't know." Sissi admitted. "I've never been in an activated tower." She sighed. "Supposedly, there's an interface. The code is Lyoko."

Hope nodded and stepped into the tower. The platform began to light up. She followed the light to the center of the platform.

They entered the passage tower and slid into the datastrea.

Hope floated upward, becomeing slightly disoriented. She landed on the platform and put her hand on the interface.

Sissi and Milly exchaged glances. They looked up at the flickering red glose.

Her name appeared on the screen.

HOPE.

Then the interface flickered and a new screen appeared.

Identity confirmed. Access denied.

"Denied? What do you mean denied?"

Another screen popped up, filled iwht a long computer code.

She sighed and closed the interface. Then she dropped into the datastream.

The other arrived at the tower.

Sissi frowned. "Ok, Hope is in the tower." She said. "Carameal, what are you doing here?"

"Helping you."

Hope stepped out of the tower.

"What happened?" Aelita asked. "Why didn't you deactivate the tower?"

"It wouldn't let me. Access denied."

"Access denied?"

"Yeah. It gave me a computer code. Maybe one of you can make something of this." She pused. Then she repeated the code she'd seen.

"That's not any of us." Aelita said.

"I didn't htink it was." Hope said. "So, who is it?"

"I don't know. But I'm going to find out. "Aelita said. She stepped into the tower.

After a while, she stepped back out.

"Well?"

She sighed. "The interface wouldn't identify me. However, I managed to slow Xana down for about a week."

"What good'll that do?" Ulrihch asked. "We don't know who the person who can deactivate it is. Or where."

"Don't worry." Aelita said. "He'll be arriving in about a week."

"How do you know that?" Yumi asked.

"Because that's how long the Okoyl/Lyoko gestation period is." She said, shrugging.

"You mean-?" Jeremie asked.

"Yeah."

"Are you certain?"

"Yeah."

Odd cleared his throat. "Excuse me, Mr. And Mrs. Einstein, would one of you please tell the rest of us what you're going on about?"

"Sure." Aelita said. "I'm going to have a baby."

About half of their jaws dropped.

Finally, Yumi smiled. "Well. . .congratulations."

"Thanks." She said. "Well, while we wait, we might as well go get more of the program. And someone should probably go to earth to get the one we just sent."

"I'll go." Milly said.

"No." Aelita said. "It can't be anyone who's been on Earth before. That way no one will recognize them if they get caught."

"But that only leaves you, and Hope, and Caramela."

"Not me." She said. "Just in case."

"Ok, so. . .Hope or Caramela."

"I'll go." Hope said. "I'd like to see your Earth."

"I can materialize you frome here." Aelita said. "As soon as you get there, get the program from one of the other scanners. Go into the elevator, go up two levels and put on the headset next to the computer."

Hope stumbled out of the scanner and took a breath.

"Wow. Ok." She said. She picked up the program. "This must be the program."

She stepped into the elevator.

She stepped out of the elevator and glanced around.

"Computer." She said, pointing, and walked over. She crawled up into the chair. "Headset." She picked it up and put it ton. "Aelita?"

"Hope?" Yumi asked. "Can you hear me?"

"I can hear you Yumi." She said. "Tell me how to read this computer."
