The next Belgian IC train is two hours later but there are other than options that we could get on.
We are actually taxiing to the ICE location ehrenfeld station so hopefully there is a ticket office there.
No ticket office at Ehrenfeld as it is sort of a local suburbian station, where no long distance trains are calling in normal times.
But I think you will be ok - as long as you have one ticket from Cologne to Antwerp, any delay in your itinerary will be covered, you just lose any seat reservation on the subsequent trains.
Just take the next train in Bruxelles-Noord, just not the Thalys (different company!).
To be sure, you may ask the conductor on the ICE about your options.
