Please review! It'll inspire me more!

Ulrich sighed as he heard Kaiser crying. He hadn't had the best of nights. To cheer Sam up, Yumi decided to let her sleep over. And when they slept over they always slept in the same bed. So it resulted that Ulrich had to sleep on the couch.

With another sigh Ulrich got up and went upstairs and into Kaiser's room to find Yumi already there.

"Thought you would be away with the fairies" Ulrich told her.

She laughed quietly.

Ulrich looked down into her arms at his son.

Yumi was watching him and smiled, though her smile soon came to a frown when she thought of the break up of Odd and Sam.

They were so loved up only a few months ago and how quickly it had all gone downhill for them scared her. Scared her of how quickly love was lost, scared that it might happen to her and Ulrich.

Unknown to her Ulrich was now watching her.

"Its not going to happen" He told her pulling her towards him carefully because of Kaiser.

Yumi smiled at him. Amazed at how he could read her mind.

"Promise?"

"With all of my heart" He comforted her.

An hour later saw the Stern house very busy indeed.

Sam was crying in the kitchen with Yumi. Yumi was busy cooking breakfast for the whole family and Sam. Ulrich was attempting to dress Kaiser though he was fussing and crying because of Sam crying. Krystal was trying to get attention from someone to no avail.

Ding Dong

"IF THAT IS ODD I'LL KILL HIM" Sam screamed causing Kaiser to restart his kicking and screaming.

"Sam, don't scream again!" Ulrich yelled losing his temper with her.

Yumi rushed to the door afraid to see Odd standing there. To her relief she saw Aelita and Jeremie with Ansel and Zachary.

"Oh God, yeah you were coming round today weren't you?" Yumi said smacking herself in the forehead.

"Anything wrong Yumi?" Aelita asked worried for her friend's sanity.

"Anything but, Come on in"

They walked in the house to hear Ulrich yelling at Sam who had started crying and screaming again, and to Krystal leaping at their feet begging for attention.

"What's happened?" Jeremie asked.

Four hours later saw Ulrich and Jeremie kicked out of the house as the girls were having a night together, which meant no males.

"Nice, bloody nice" Ulrich swore. "Last night I was sleeping on the couch and now I'm slung out of my own home. I'll kill him, I really will"

"Kill who?" Jeremie asked as they got into his car.

"That mother-"

"Ulrich, watch it! If you're talking about Odd…"

"I am!"

Jeremie gave up and just started the engine.

Inside the Stern's house, the girls were all in hysterics after putting the children to bed. They were having a pillow fight in their underwear. Popcorn was littered around the floor and the furniture was everywhere.

Girl therapy really did involve mess.

On the way to Jeremie and Aelita's, Ulrich noticed something in the gutter.

"Jeremie stop the car!"

Ulrich rushed out to the person. It was Odd.

He looked a mess. His clothes were torn and dirty. His hair was filthy and wet. And his face was white. His eyes had no shine in them.

Jeremie joined Ulrich at staring at him.

Ulrich knelt down to him and started to pull him up. As Ulrich touched him, he moved his hand away straight away. It was like touching ice.

He repeated the movement and got him up. He dragged Odd to the car and put the car blanket over him.

"Get him to the hospital Jeremie."

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"Home, to fetch the girls. He looks like he's going to die"

Ten minutes later, the door opened, just as the girls were opening champagne.

"Ulrich! What are you doing here?" Yumi asked as the other two girls started to cover up.

"I need to talk to you"

Yumi didn't question him as he was looking angry. She just followed him into the kitchen.

He explained what had happened to her. He hadn't noticed the two dressed girls in the doorway listening.

Yumi started crying. Ulrich pulled her to him.

"We have to go the hospital" Sam's voice cracked as she spoke. Ulrich and Yumi looked up and saw them in the doorway. Sam was crying.

"Lets go then" Aelita said.

"Let me get dressed first" Yumi muttered as she wiped her tears away.

Jeremie was at Odd's bedside when the four came through.

"Where are the children?" he asked.

"We left them there" Yumi replied sarcastically.

Jeremie glared at her.

"They're with your parents, okay?" she snapped.

Ulrich gripped her shoulders and whispered into her ear.

"I'm sorry Jeremie"

He nodded. "It's okay Yumes"

They all looked at Sam who was staring at Odd on the bed.

He had slipped into a state of unconsciousness. The doctors had informed Jeremie that he had had an awful amount to drink and was having to flush it out of his system. They thought that these blackouts were due to this. The doctors weren't striking out a mini stroke though at this point.

Once Jeremie informed the group of this, they all looked at Sam. Though he had told them that this mini stroke wouldn't have any lasting damage, everyone, including her, knew she was to blame.

They watched her walk to the window of his private room.

"I need him" she cried with a single tear falling.
