*3 Weeks Later*
Noel was sat picking at his lip when Julian walked in and saw him. Gary Numan was playing some depressing song in the background, This Is Love or You Walk In My Soul or something, Julian couldnt tell it was too quiet.
"Hey." He made it sound like a question. "You okay?"
Noel shook his head honestly, he knew he could tell Julian just about anything.
"You wanna talk about it?"
"Dee had a miscarriage." He blurted out.
Julian's face fell instantly. "Wh- I didnt even know she was-"
"We weren't gonna tell anyone until we were sure. It was only a couple of weeks so..."
"What happened?"
Noel shrugged.
"I am so sorry."
Noel nodded. "It's okay." Noel blinked and a tear fell from his eye, but Julian pretended not to notice it, because it is noble to pretend you do not notice someone crying if they are trying to hide it, so they will not be embarrassed. "She needs to spend a couple of days recovering."
"How are you holding up?"
Noel shrugged again. "I dunno. The more I think about it, the more I realise I didnt really want a baby. Not yet anyway, not now. I started thinking that maybe this was just God giving me what I wanted.. Or punishing me. Or both.."
"Why dont you go home? Be with Dee. I can tell Paul you got pig sick and had to leave."
Noel shook his head. "I'll be fine. I just need a couple of hours to feel like crap."
"I understand. You take as long as you need Prince Charming."
Noel looked up and smiled, his head moved closer to Julian's and they shared a kiss. The friendly kiss became a romantic one, and the romance soon turned into violent lust until Noel was fumbling with Julian's Howard Moon corduroys.
"Wait. Stop." Julian said into Noel's mouth. It killed him to have to stop it. "I really dont think we should do this. Not in the state you're in."
"Please." Noel whispered, his bulging hard on, prodding Julian's thigh. "That other week, when we... I cant stop thinking about it Julian. This is meant to happen."
"I just... I dont wanna feel like I'm taking advantage of you."
Noel grinned. "I dont mind."

"You're home early." Dee called, hearing Noel walk through the door.
He walked into the living room, where she was sat watching Kath and Kim, curled up under a duvet on the sofa surrounded by soggy tissues and various empty mugs.
"Oh Dee." He sympathised.
"I'm okay. I just need to be sad for a little while."
"How are you feeling?"
"Crampy.. Groggy. Exactly how she said I'd feel."
Noel leant forward and kissed her forehead.
She glared at him. "You stink!" She hissed.
Noel was taken aback. "Of what?!"
"Sex! Who did you sleep with?!"
Noel swallowed his fear. "I didnt sleep with anybody!"
"I cant fucking believe you! This is just what you're like! Wait til I'm really low then go and shag someone else!"
"Dee I swear to God-"
"Who was it this time?"
"Whaddya mean this time?!" Noel's voice was starting to go high pitched, as it often did when he shouted.
"You know perfectly well what!" She threw back the duvet and got up.
"Dee stop! You're s'posed to be recooperating."
"DONT patronise me you vicious little pig!" She stormed upstairs, slamming her feet heavily on the wood.
Noel sighed. "I'll go back to work then shall I? Dont you want me here?"
"Do what you fucking want Noel, I've had enough of you!"
"What's that supposed to mean?!"
"IT MEANS FUCK OFF!"
