Dee Plume sat (as usual) nestled in Noel's arms contently, chewing on her blue biro in thought.
"What rhymes with orange?" she asked, tapping her pen on Noel's chest to gain his attention.
"Hmm?" he looked down at her, trying not to laugh.
"I don't know. What rhymes with orange?"
She frowned, poking him in the stomach and concealing a grin.
"I meant it! I'm writing lyrics for our next album. Oh bugger it! I can't think at the moment."
Noel grinned, laughed and leant down, kissing her on the nose. She sighed, laying down the pen on the arm of the chair.
"I give up. I'll do it later," she leant back again, snuggling into Noels arms and resting her head on his chest.
"Dee…what's going on?" Noel asked warily, stroking her hair. She sat up, shifting around slightly to meet Noel's gaze.
"Noel…I'm…I'm pregnant."
He stared at her, disbelief apparent in his eyes.
"What? N…no…you can't be!"
"I am…I'm sorry…I'm pregnant…" she reiterated, lowering her eyes to the floor.
"How did this happen?" he asked lamely, his voice rising in pitch. Dee surveyed Noel carefully, a small smile tracing her lips.
"Well Noel…when a girl and a boy like each other very much…"
"I know HOW it happens I mean how did this-damn..." he sighed, looking down worriedly, "I thought we were careful?"
Dee looked up to meet his gaze again.
"Since when have we been safe about it?" she asked, almost shrilly.
"I thought you we're on the pill?" he whispered, denying every other aspect of the situation. Dee sighed, looking up at him through her fringe apologetically.
"How long?"
"Bout a month…"
Noel bit his lip again, "I'm gonna be a dad…" he stated, staring into space in worry, "I…I can't…be a dad…I'm not ready…what if I suck?" he asked pathetically, pleading for Dee to burst out laughing and tell him that she was joking. The laugh never came and he shook his head disbelievingly, lifting himself off the chair. Dee watched him walk from the room tearfully, leaning back into the still warm chair, holding herself protectively.
Julian walked into Noel's room with a sigh, gazing down at his best friend. Noel looked up, his eyeliner making long tear streaks down his face.
"I just saw Dee," Julian began softly, sitting next to him. Noel looked at the floor.
"I can't do it Ju. What if I make a mess of things? I'm not ready to be a dad yet!"
Julian watched his best friend, raising an eyebrow.
"How do you know what you'll turn out like?" he asked, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"I don't but-"
"Well then you can't say that you 'might make a mess of things'. Yeah. You might. I felt like that when Julia told me she was going to have a baby. And now the kids are best things that have ever happened to me. I could have run. But I didn't. It's the choices that you make at this stage that mean the most. If you run, Dee would still have the baby, though you probably wouldn't see it. Whereas if you stayed, then you may well have the best, most life changing thing in the world!"
Noel sighed, wiped his eyes and looked up at Julian.
"Thanks Ju," he smiled, pulling his friend into a hug.
"S'ok. Besides. You're a big kid yourself! You'll make a great dad!" he grinned, ruffling Noels hair and hugging him back.
"Uhuh. Thanks Ju." he frowned, shaking his head. Then burst out laughing.
"I'm gonna go tell Dee that I want her to have this kid…and I'm gonna be the best dad ever!" he grinned, bouncing out of the room and leaving a laughing Julian behind to clean up the eyeliner stained pillow.
