A few months after the proposal, and after Ulrich's falling out with his father, He and Yumi got married. The wedding took place on the school grounds at the park, all of their friends, Ulrich's mother, and Yumi's family, who, like Ulrich's father, were against the marriage at first, showed up. During the reception, Ulrich went up to his mother.

"Hey, Mom." Ulrich said

"Oh, Ulrich." His mother, Ilsa, said. "I didn't know you wanted to see me again."

"Don't worry, it's only Dad that I'm angry with." Ulrich said "You don't mind me marrying Yumi, do you? Even though it's not what Dad wants."

"Ulrich, you do what you feel is right, and I'll support it." Ilsa said "You know your father loves you very much. Even if you don't think so."

"I wish I could believe that." Ulrich said "He never even said he liked me. The only time he was happy with me was when he sent me to Kadic to become a soccer star like him and his father."

"That's not true." She said "Promise you'll visit and make amends soon. Please, Ulrich?"

"Alright, I promise." Ulrich said "Soon."

"Come on, Ulrich." He heard Odd, his best man, say. "All the food's gonna be gone if we don't hurry up."

"Two years after graduation and still all you think about is food." Ulrich said as he left and joined his friend.

The next couple years went by smoothly for Ulrich and Yumi. Jeremie and Aelita got married the year after and they rebuilt the Hermitage building where Aelita had grown up with her father when they moved to France and set it up as a permanent home. Odd had formed a rock band with Sissi Delmas, his new girlfriend, her pen pal Brynja Heringsdötir, and her boyfriend, Thomas Jolivet. The band, ODR, became a huge success. Aelita, or DJ Aelita Stones as she was now known as, became a permanent member of the Subdigitals and eventually pursued a solo career, where she first became famous for her remixes of songs by Odd's band.

In 2013, however, Yumi had been brought with good news: She was expecting a child. Ulrich couldn't have been more happy, Odd especially was exited by this news

"Alright!" He shouted "I'm going to be an uncle!"

"No, you're not." Ulrich said flatly

"Well, I'm like a brother to you, aren't I?" Odd said

"Well, yes. I can't argue with that." Ulrich said

"Hey, Ulrich." Yumi said "If the baby's a boy, what should his name be?"

"You just found out you were pregnant and you already want to talk about names?" Ulrich asked "Well, how about Calvin, after my commanding officer."

"Oh, by the way, Ulrich." Odd said "Lieutenant Calvin called the other day."

"Really?" Ulrich asked "What did he want?"

"He just wanted to say that he's doing fine. It's still hard for him to move around because of the leg. But other than that, just fine."

"Good to know." Ulrich said "Tell him I said 'Hi'. Anyways Yumi, what if it's a girl?"

"How about Rumiko?" Yumi asked

"Like the manga artist?" Ulrich asked

"Yes." Yumi said

"Okay, Calvin or Rumiko then."

On February 12th, 2014, Yumi had given birth to her first child.

"Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Stern." The doctor said holding the small infant "It's a girl."

"Rumiko it is then." Ulrich said holding his newborn daughter. Ulrich then got out his phone.

"What are you doing?" Yumi asked

"Taking a picture of our child." Ulrich asked "I want our friends and family to see our new child."

Ulrich then took the picture and sent it to everyone he knew, including his mother. When Ilsa got the picture, she gave it to her husband Johannes to look at.

"Johannes." She said to him as he was eating dinner.

"Yes, dear?" Johannes asked

"Come look at our new granddaughter." She said giving him the phone with the picture on it. Johannes looked at it, and he just broke down and cried. Ilsa then left the room and stared out the window.

"Oh, Ulrich." She said to herself "If only you knew how much your father misses you."

Well that wraps up this set of past stories. There will be a few more coming soon, including the conclusions of Post Lyoko and The Stern Chronicles. Carthage Revealed won't be finished until the near end because it ties into the end already when Julien… well, I'm not going to spoil it. But keep an eye out, because next chapter will be focused on the current story.
