A/N: Reference to Drugs. Swearing. Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly. Lisa Armstrong (Ant's wife). Ali/Alison (Ant and Dec's PR). Simon Cowell, Stephen Mulhern.

Ant and Lisa travelled home in silence, she had nothing more to say to him and Ant was thinking of what he should have said to Dec.

"Did you mean what you said… are you going to leave me?"

Lisa pulled the car over "No, of course not. I was just mad at you and… I shouldn't of said that I'm sorry, but you have to sort yourself out or I really am gone."

With an eager nod from Ant, they continued the drive home.

A week had passed and no one had heard anything about Dec. Ant had stopped taking cocaine and he and Lisa were getting along better, things weren't perfect, but that would take time.

Auditions had been postponed for now and would resume if Dec was released or when they knew he wouldn't be coming back.

As Ant always did on a Saturday morning, he turned on BBC news, there was something that partially caught his attention in Susana Reid's opening.

"And today's breaking news, Popular TV presenter Declan Donnelly from the Geordie duo Ant and Dec had been arrested and is heading to court today. He was spotted earlier this morning being taken into court, it is not yet known what he has been charged with, we'll bring you the latest as this story updates."

Ant was sat in shock, he knew Dec being arrested was bad, but he thought the police could keep quiet about it. Lisa came in and read the bulletin, she sat next to Ant and put a hand on his leg.

"We need to take a trip, come on." She got the car keys and they both got into the black mini. People knew Ant's car and so they were more likely to be left alone in Lisa's car.

When they arrived at the court there were many news reporters around but none of them noticed the mini, thankfully.

Lisa parked it around the corner and went up to a back entrance, while Ant was getting some sunglasses, a scalf and a hat out the glove compartment as a disguise from the cameras.

The door operator wouldn't let Lisa in, her ID only made her out to be a make-up artist on popular ITV shows, and with her not changing her last name when she married Ant, there was no give away as to who she was.

Ant arrived next to her, moved his disguise for the operator to see and then they both advanced inside.

They decided the best point of call would be to go to the reception desk, when they arrived they were shocked to see Ali already stood there.

"Ali! What are you doing here!"

"What do you think! Thanks for telling me he had been arrested, It's always good to find out watching the news isn't it! I've had James Grant himself on the phone all day wanting to know why one of his clients has been arrested and he wasn't informed!"

"Crap, sorry I forgot about ringing... Dec normally does that, and well he hasn't been here to do it. How's James Grant coping?"

"Not good. He's very angry, you have a meeting with him tomorrow to tell him what's gone on… tread carefully Ant or he'll drop you both"

"Ok, thanks. Now do you know were we can find Dec?"

After talking to reception, they were lead to a small room to speak with Dec without his lawyer, there was an hour before the trial.

The door opened and two of the biggest men you will ever see walked in, they stood apart to let Dec walk in, once inside, they stepped out again, closed the door and stood against it.

"Not quite like the entourage we are used to ehh?" Ant gestured, trying to lift the obviously awkward mood.

He was shot down by disgusted looks from both women, but not from Dec.

"It's good to see you… why are you here? How did you know?"

"We're here just to be with you, it's all over the news, James Grant is a bit pissed."

"The news! This was meant to be a private hearing! Who leaked it?"

"Not a clue, we saw it and got here straight away, Ali did the same. None of us were even told that you were having a hearing."

"I only found out this morning, they've been trying to get me one as early as possible and a slot opened up this morning so I'm here." There was an obvious tension between the boys, but they were both trying not to show it.

"Declan… is this goodbye?" Ali Questioned "If you plead guilty today, is this the last we will see of you?"

He took hold of her hand "I hope not, but I have to do this. Ant has a wife and a baby coming soon to look after, what do I have?" The room fell silent.

"I HAVE A WHAT!" Ant turned to face Lisa "Are we pregnant?" She just started at Dec "And you told him before you told me! At the police station you were going to walk out on me, and you never thought to tell me that you are pregnant with my child!"

"Can we talk about this in private" She sheepishly stood up whilst shooting a disgusted look at Dec. She gestured to the door "Ant, now"

They both walked out the door, asked one of the guards if there was a room they could talk in and they were then directed to the closest empty room.

It was not a pleasant room to be in, it was dark and gloomy, everything was grey. The room had one small square table in the centre of the room, with two chairs opposite each other and there was a small camera flashing in the corner.

The couple took their seats opposite each other, Ant was the first to speak.

"So why do we need to go in a separate room to discuss this? Is Dec the father of the baby.. is that why he knew first"

"How could you even say that! You think I'm unfaithful to you, and with your best mate and my practical brother!"

And just shrugged his shoulders and looked at the floor like a 5 year old.

"The circumstances it happened in are something I am sure you wouldn't want Dec and Ali to know about."

"Circumstances… so the baby is mine isn't it?"

"Yes of course it is! It's just… the night it happened… I doubt you remember it… you had just got back from a night out with Stephen, you were worse than I'd ever seen you, I was asleep in bed and you came up… I heard you falling up the stairs and woke up, I helped you up the stairs and into bed."

"Lisa, please don't tell me that I …"

"I don't know what to tell you Ant"

"No, please don't say this…" He looked at her right in the eye "Did I assault you?"

She broke the gaze and fidgeted with her hands "it just happened… you were so aggressive, but it wasn't non-consentual, it's just not the ideal way to conceive our first child."

Ant put his head in his hands and sat there for a few minutes.

"Please say something Ant"

He got up and walked to her side. "I am so sorry, I never wanted this to happen like this. No wonder you hate me!"

"Ant, I don't hate you! You weren't you then… you've been clean for a week and I know how hard it's been, but we are going to do this together."

"I could of lost everything, I could of lost Dec, you and the baby… all to some drugs"

"But you haven't and you won't, But you have to stay clean, and we have to trust each other again."

"Baby I am so sorry… I don't even know what to say to you."

"Action speak louder than words, now let's get back in there and support Dec today."

They both stood up and headed to the door, Ant grabbed Lisa's arm and turned her around.

"What did you tell Dec? I don't want him to think I'm a monster."

"Don't worry, I just told him I was pregnant. I had to tell him, and I'm sorry he knew first but I thought I would never see him again and he had to know"

"Is that why he's pleading guilty… to let me be a father?"

Lisa said nothing, but just smiled.
