Who says Ataru-Lum is inevitable?

In fact, it was established early on in the series that Ataru would marry
SHINOBU.

It was a story where Lum accidentally projected the two of them twelve years
into the future, and they met Ataru's future child. It's story #11 in Viz's
Urusei Yatsura "Perfect Collection", titled "We Are the Children".
