==The Next Day==

/The group smiled, as they looked at Anne, holding the puppy. The puppy was curled up, and sleeping. Anne looked at Dylan/

"We need to think of what to name him" said Anne

"Yeah, but it can wait. We still have to get a lot of things for Chelsea, and Jennifer" said Dylan

/Anne nodded. Chelsea sighed, with happiness/

"I hope that childbirth is a relaxing experience" joked Chelsea

/Chelsea, Jennifer, and Verity all shared a laugh/

==3 Hours Later, with Clementine==

/Clementine was admiring a light-blue jacket. She then took off her old one, and put on the new puffy one. Clementine rose an eyebrow, as she looked in a mirror/

"I guess it'll do" said Clementine, to herself

/Clementine shrugged. She then noticed Aelita, walking towards her. Aelita stopped in front of Clementine, and admired the jacket/

"That jacket looks great on you" complimented Aelita

"Thank you. I kinda like it" said Clementine

/Clementine and Aelita started walking away from the clothes department. They stopped, when they saw Christopher, sulking at the picnic table. Aelita looked at Clementine/

"I'll catch up" said Aelita

/Clementine nodded, and started walking away. Aelita walked to Christopher, and sat down next to him/

"Hi" said Aelita

"Hey..." said Christopher

/Aelita saw that Christopher had a look of deep thought, and sadness/

"What's wrong?" asked Aelita

"I miss my parents... I wish they could've been here to see that Chelsea's pregnant" said Christopher

/Aelita nodded, in agreement/

"I wish my parents were here to see that Jennifer's pregnant... God, I miss them..." said Aelita, to herself

"Yeah, I bet they'd be proud of your brother." said Christopher

"I am too" said Aelita

/Aelita sighed, and looked at Christopher/

"I'm sorry about your parents... But you need to move on. You've got Chelsea, and a baby on the way. And you have us. We're your family now" said Aelita

"I'm grateful for that, but I don't think I can stop missing them..." said Christopher

/Aelita nodded/

"I know Chase doesn't show it... But he really misses our parents. Sometimes... I- I can hear him crying at night, asking what happened to them..." said Aelita

/Christopher rose an eyebrow/

"Wow... I didn't know he missed them that bad" said Christopher

"Chris, I know I shouldn't say this. But I'm about to tell you something. And you can never tell anyone else, unless it's in our group. Do you understand?" asked Aelita

/Christopher nodded/

"What're you telling me?" asked Christopher

"About how me and my brother got separated... I'm telling you, about a world called Lyoko" said Aelita

/Christopher had an intrigued look/

==With Jennifer==

/Jennifer, Verity, and Chelsea were looking at a pair of cribs. Jennifer smiled, as she looked at one, that was painted with the US Military's Universal Camouflage Pattern. Jennifer smirked, and looked at the two girls/

"Never show this crib to Chase. If he sees it, then he won't stop talking about it" said Jennifer

"Heh, got it" said Verity

/Chelsea looked at a crib, that was painted in a bright white. She smiled, when she saw some hand-carved railings/

"I like this one" said Chelsea

"I don't know... it's pretty fancy, but it's sort of flashy" said Verity

/Chelsea smirked/

"In the middle of the apocalypse, you worry about flashiness?" asked Chelsea

"Well... yeah. I do" said Verity

/Chelsea shrugged. Jennifer gasped, when she saw a crib that had Doctor Who themed items on it. Jennifer and Verity both ran to it, and smirked/

"I'm taking this one" said Jennifer

"A Doctor Who crib? Isn't there such a thing as being obsessed, with a TV show?" asked Chelsea

/Verity and Jennifer, both frowned, and looked at Chelsea/

"Wibbly Wobbly..." said Verity

"Timey Wimey..." said Jennifer

/Chelsea groaned, as Jennifer and Verity laughed. Jennifer then looked at a simple, non-painted wooden crib, and smiled/

"You know what? I like that one a lot better" said Jennifer

"Eh, it's your choice. And if the baby doesn't like it, then there's still plenty of choices" said Verity

/Jennifer smiled/

==With Christopher==

/Christopher had a wide eyed look, as Aelita finished telling him about Lyoko. Chris cleared his throat, and looked at Aelita/

"So... you were separated for 10 years, by your dad. Chase was sent 10 years into the future, and to the United States. You got stuck inside of a virtual world for 10 years, until Jeremie found you?" asked Christopher

"Yes. I don't know why it's all 10. I've been trying to find out, until the world ended" said Aelita

/Christopher started chuckling, to himself/

"I can't believe that the FSB was trying to kill you guys... Out of everyone on Earth, you piss off what's basically Russia's version of the CIA" said Christopher

"Yes... And the AI I told you about..." said Aelita

"Xama?" asked Christopher

/Aelita sighed/

"XANA... He's the one who started the apocalypse. We tried to figure out how to stop him, when we were at the CDC, but we couldn't find out anything" said Aelita

/Christopher went wide eyed/

"So that... XANA... thing. He killed my parents? Or at the very least, he got my parents killed?" asked Christopher

"I'm afraid so. I'm sorry, Chris" said Aelita

/Christopher sighed, and nodded, with sadness./

"I need to be alone now" said Christopher

"Of course. If you ever need to talk, then you know where to find me" said Aelita

/Christopher didn't look, as Aelita walked away from him. He then frowned/

"XANA..." said Christopher, to himself
