junos first and second  trimester flew by. she woke up with slight morning sickness, but nothing unbearable. as far as other symptoms went, her pregnancy had been going pretty smoothly. minus back pain and sore joints, she barely felt anything.

she'd finally moved out of noel's basement and into a new flat, with the help of none other than graham coxon.
graham and juno had developed quite a strong bond. with damon being in rehab, juno felt pretty alone. minus the help from her brother and noel, she hardly had any other friends.

juno tended to focus too much on her work, and isolated herself from friends. graham noticed how alone juno was during her pregnancy, and decided to help her out until damon got out of rehab. speaking of damon, he was doing better. he had been showing major signs of improvement, and was set to get home that day after being there for longer than expected, which was three and a half months. damon and graham kept this a secret, and were going to surprise juno
when she got back from a doctors appointment.

she was driving back home from the appointment, tapping her thumb on the steering wheel to the best of the led zeppelin II cd playing in her car. as per usual for autumn in london, it was foggy and drizzling with rain. juno despised grey weather. it always reminded her of her childhood, which wasn't a very good one. speaking of london, juno sold her flat in brighton and with the help of damon, bought a beautiful house in clapham commons for them to start fresh and raise their child in.

the house was a beautiful mid century home. it hadn't been renovated since the mid 60's but it was ahead of its time when it was built. it sounds very passé on paper, but the house was stunning. fully tiled bathrooms, colours everywhere, a conversation pit, you name it.

junos corvette pulled into the brick driveway in front of her house, and her very pregnant self stumbled out of the car and hobbled into the house. unbeknown to her, none other than damon albarn was sat on the couch in her living room. graham was also there, but he was watching from afar. when the two men heard the clanging of keys twisting the lock on the front door, they sprung into place. damon sat on the couch, pretending to read the paper as if everything was normal, and graham sat on a stool in the kitchen.

juno walked- or more accurately staggered into the house,not even paying attention to who was sat in the living room. "graham? it's a girl". she called out as she walked right past damon and into the kitchen, a large grin plastered on her face. damon's head whipped around, and to grasp her attention said "a girl, you say"?

juno spun around at the distinct sound of her lovers voice. when she caught sight of damon, her  lips split into a massive smile. "damon"! she exclaimed, trying her hardest to run over to him. damon saw her struggling, and jogged the rest of the distance over to her. he kissed her on the forehead and engulfed her into a hug. the two stayed there in silence for a good few seconds, before juno pulled away slightly, reaching her hand up to caress his cheek.

he looked slightly different than the last time she'd seen him. her hand felt prickly as she admired the stubble he'd accumulated while being gone. his plump lips had gotten more pink, rather than the pale purple tinge they had to them while he was using, and his eyes. god those eyes. they had a glint of cheekiness in them that he'd always had before he started heroin. while he was using, they looked glazed over and lifeless. now, his pale blue eyes were full of life and admiration.

"i've missed you so much my love". she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

"i missed you too". damon replied, leaning down and pecking her on the lips.

"im so much better now juno. i barely crave dope at all anymore. and when i do i know how to cope with it in a healthy way. im ready to be a dad". his smile was genuine.

"im so proud of you. she's going to have an incredible dad". juno replied, motioning to her enlarged stomach.

"god im so excited to meet her"... damon beamed, reaching his hands onto her stomach.

the two began kissing again. what was once sweet and pure, quickly became more passionate. the two forgot graham was there before he piped up. "um.. guys? i'm sorry to ruin this moment but i'm uh.. i'm gonna head out. lovely to see you juno, congratulations on your baby girl".  graham smiled, waving awkwardly as he walked past the two.

juno and damon watched in silence as he walked out, before the front door shut behind him. the two looked back at eachother slowly and stared at each other for a couple of seconds, before bursting out into laughter. juno watched as damon laughed, his gorgeous smile igniting  butterflies in her stomach as they always did. god she was happy he was back.
