Decision Time
The group stood around the Skid in its dry dock. Bored. Other than Aelita and Jeremy, the group really had nothing to do. Odd decided to fly around on his overboard for fun while Ulrich and Yumi talked.
"So..." she said, "What did my dad say to you last night?"
"Hmm?" Ulrich asked.
"Well, when he got back, my mom asked him what he said to you, and he said, 'I only asked him a few questions and laid down a few ground rules. Other than that, I think our Yumi made a wonderful choice.'"
"Oh." Ulrich said.
"So? What did he say?" Yumi said.
"Nothing special. Set a curfew. Warned me about making you unhappy. Threatened my legs if I did anything 'inappropriate' with you." he said as if it were nothing, "You know, usual stuff."
"Oh." Yumi said, a little resigned. Ulrich raised his eyebrows.
"What's wrong?" he asked. She placed her left hand over her stomach and looked down. "Oh." Ulrich said.
"I don't know how I'm going to tell them." she said softly, "I can't keep it a secret longer than three months...if I'm lucky." she slid down the wall she was leaning against to sit on the floor. Ulrich slid and sat down beside her.
"The best thing you could do," he said slowly, looking right at her, "is tell your parents right away. Don't wait." She looked up and into his eyes as if he had gone crazy.
"What?" She asked, "But, my family is a little traditional in that if I tell them that I'm having a bastard child they'd-"
"Your kid won't be fatherless." Ulrich said, cupping her cheek in his hand. "I'll be there with you." She looked at him in awed wonder for a moment. She was deeply touched that he cared for her that much.
"But that might be worse." she said, looking down again, "If my dad thinks that you got me pregnant then he'd...he'd probably.."
"Well, there is a another option." Jeremie said, his omnipotent voice coming from nowhere. The two felt like idiots; they had forgotten that he could hear everything they said.
"What is it?" Ulrich asked.
"Yumi, just tell your dad exactly what happened...minus anything that might involve Lyoko. Say that you thought you saw Ulrich kissing another girl, got insanely jealous, wanted payback against Ulrich so you went out with William who tricked you into sleeping with him."
"But then my dad will want to kill William." Yumi said.
"And then we have two choices. One, tell him that William moved away a week later, a week before you found out your were pregnant, or..."
"Or what?" Ulrich asked.
"Or we virtualize Yumi's dad and let him take care of William himself." Jeremie said. Everyone was quiet for a few seconds before they all burst out laughing. That was what Jeremie had wanted; to make everyone laugh. After a while it died down.
"So, what do you want to do?" Ulrich asked seriously.
