A week later saw the gang and children at the Stern's house enjoying a sunny Sunday afternoon out in the garden.

Krystal, Twinkle, Ansel and Zachary were playing Frisbee with Odd whilst Jeremie and Aelita were cooking on the barbeque and watching their toy boys with 'Uncle Odd'.

Ulrich and Yumi were lying down together on the grass occasionally tickling the other.

Sam was with them a couple of minutes earlier but had gotten up and entered the house. She was only noticed by Yumi and Ulrich. Ulrich looked at Yumi and she nodded. She got up and followed Sam. Ulrich watched her leave and sighed. With nothing else to do he got up and joined the game of Frisbee.

Yumi found Sam in the upstairs bathroom on the floor crying. Yumi kneeled down to her and asked her what was wrong.

"Oh Yumi, It's awful. I thought our marriage was supposed to go better! I thought him wanting sex when I got in from work was a good thing but it was worse. I found lipstick all over his chest; I can't say anything to him. Oh Yumi. It was awful I lost the will for sex so I just let him to what he wanted. He was rough and he stuck of perfume. He's having an affair Yumi!"

Yumi stared at her in shock, her hand absently stroking Sam's arm in comfort. Yumi couldn't believe this but then again she could. Both her and Ulrich couldn't believe the change in Odd when they had seen him today but on hearing this it all made sense.

The only question that popped into her mind was the one thing that she could bet on her life that Sam was wondering the same thing – Who?

She felt Sam's reddened eyes on her own and Yumi looked down at her.

"Who is it, Yumi?" She sobbed "Who?"

Once Sam and Yumi had returned, they acted as though nothing had happened. Ulrich could tell something was bothering Yumi and knew it had something to do with Odd due to the icy glares she kept giving him.

Odd, however, couldn't notice an atmosphere change and carried on playing with the children and using sausages from the barbeque to amuse them. Aelita, also oblivious to the atmosphere change joined in.

Once Jeremie was involved; dragged by Aelita, Ulrich pulled Yumi to one side.

"What's happening?"

Yumi looked over at Sam, who was swinging slowly on the swing deep in thought.

Ulrich followed her eyes and looked upon the sight.

"Is Sam ok?"

Yumi still remained silent as her eyes travelled to Odd who was laughing and joking unaware of the trouble he was going to cause for himself.

"Yumi"

Yumi looked at Ulrich as if only noticing that he was there.

"Is Sam ok?" he repeated.

"Yeah if having her husband having an affair is ok then yeah she is dandy" she said sarcastically and angrily.

Ulrich gasped and looked at Odd unable to think of Odd cheating on Sam. Unable to come to terms with the fact that the first couple in the gang to get married were falling apart. Unable to realise what his best friend was capable of.
