Don't own any of the characters in this fic, they all belong to ITV.
Hi guys its me again, I'm not quite ready to give up on these two. Especially now Aaron may have a new man. Although I am happy for him I just don't want Jackson to be forgotten about. It will always be Aarson in my eyes and Aared just sounds so wrong. Let me know what you think and if you would like me to continue. I will carry on writing about Aaron and Jackson for as long as you keep wanting to read about them.
I will also finish my other fic and will try to continue with confusion. I'm just not finding the love for that one at the minuet. I have completely lost where I wanted that one to go. But when I find it again I will continue. In the meantime I hope you enjoy.
Jackson was beginning to realise the good things in life. The bonuses of divorce. He settled himself in the garden with a nice glass of wine. He was just starting to enjoy his weekends without the children. In the beginning when him and Adam first divorced he found it hard, it was weird not having a house full of laughter on a weekend but as the months went on it was getting easier, he didn't feel as lost. He blamed Adams new job as the result of their marriage ending. He was entertaining more than he was a husband and father. His new job was all about entertaining the investors at dinner instead of having dinner with his family. From Monday through till Friday he became this business man, with no responsibilities other than his job, he would go days without seeing him or the kids as he could be out from as early as 6am till gone midnight. The commitment he made to Jackson some 15 years ago now no longer existed, he was committed to one thing and one thing alone. His job.
They stared to become like strangers to one another and the longer Adam stayed in his job the more Jackson started to resent him, whenever Adam was at home it was like he was invading his space. Jackson had become so used to being on his own. The only real common ground that they shared was the children. For so many years Adam had been his est friend as well as his lover, someone who he always turned to if he needed something or when he needed someone.
In the first few days and maybe even weeks he felt lost, he wasn't sure who he was any more and when the kids went for the firs weekend he couldn't figure out what he was supposed to do for them two days, he didn't know how to fill his time.
He didn't have much of a social life, having two children pretty much put a stop to that and his friends didn't have much time on a weekend as they were either at work or had children of their own.
It took him the best part of a year to finally find himself again and that was more down to the fact that he had moved away from the big city and found a nice little number in a village called Emmerdale. This new him was in fact the old him, the Jackson before marriage and children. This was the real him.
The following day after they had moved into their new home he woke up, he decided to make himself a coffee and then climbed back into bed. The unpacking could wait an hour or so, he was just guna lay there and enjoy the silence that the village brought. He liked it, he was so used to being woken up by busy traffic that the silence was a novelty.
He and the kids spent the day unpacking after they had all managed to make there way out of bed. Kieran was miserable, he didn't want to spend the day indoors. It was a beautiful day outside and he wanted to explore the country side. There was a knock on the door and then it was flung open. A small plump woman walked in, dish in hand.
'I'm Pearl, I live just up the way there. I've brought you a home made apple pie.' she said as she placed them down on the kitchen side. 'I see you are a builder.'
Jackson didn't know where to put himself, he just stood there open mouthed.
'I saw it on the side of your van sweetheart' she said when she didn't get a reply from him.
He struggled to hide the fact that he was a little shocked at this white haired lady who had quite happily made he self at home.
'erm, yeah...yeah I am' he said plastering a smile on is face.
'I have just the job for you' she said a while after they had eaten the pie and made small talk. Again Jackson didn't know where to put himself. She certainly wasn't backwards in coming forwards.
'The garage next-door my love. Aaron the owner was just saying the other day he could do with a builder as he wants to make a few changes to it.'
Jackson just nodded, he had seen the garage and had wondered who had owned it.
'I'm sure he will have already have someone in mind pearl'
'don't worry about that, I will put a word in for you, I know him very well!'
even though Jackson was a little wary of this bundle of life that currently sat in his kitchen he was also grateful, he really did need to get back to work. Due to the sale of the old house and then them buying Dale Head and moving in he had been out of work for a couple of months now. Although he was stable enough to not have to work, he like to keep busy. He loved his job and had no intentions of stopping any time soon.
