A/N – I'm baaccck! lol. Okay guys. This is the third part of the Aaron and Jackson story. The last fic was Jackson and Aaron decided to move to France with their son, AJ. To Start a new life together. It's been five years since then. And the boys come to to Emmerdale. But is everything funky dory between them? Or has things changed since they left the village? Enjoy!

Jackson and AJ are sitting in the airplaine waiting to go back to England. The builder was nervous going back, he hasn't been back in the Village since he's left. His family mostly visited them. AJ is staring out the window, bored. "How long do we have to wait?" the young boy moaned. "We need to wait till everyone is on the plane" Jackson smiled at his son. He was getting a little bored himself. "Why isn't Daddy Aaron here with us?" AJ asked his father. "I've told you this a million times! He couldn't get the time off work. He will be coming in a few days".

Jackson turned round to face the passenger behind him. He stars into the man's Hazel eyes and smiles. "you okay?" he asks. The tanned skinned man took a deep breathe "I'm a little nervous" he answers in his French accent. The builder couldn't help but laugh. "About the flight or meeting my lot?"

"Both" the French man admitted.

Jackson laughs again and puts his hand on the man. "you will be fine" he smiles.

After the flight, the three of them are standing at the airport, waiting for Hazel and Bob picking them up. But the builders face drops when he sees Chas waiting for them. As soon as AJ sees her, he runs and screams "Grandma" running right into her. The barmaid is thrilled to see her grandson and picks him up and cuddles him. She smiles at Jackson walking towards her and smiles at the man standing next to him.

"You must be Alexander" she smiles and shakes his hand. "It's lovely to meet you"

"It's lovely to meet you too" the French man greets.

"God he's gorgeous!" Chas whispers to Jackson, leaving him a bit embarrassed.

After they arrive in the Village. Chas drops them off at Dale Head. Jackson stares at the house he once shared with his ex-husband. Sadness now on his face. Alexander can see how sad his boyfriend looks.

"Are you sure you want to stay here? I will understand if you-"

"No" Jackson cuts him off "It's fine" the builder puts on a fake smile.

Once they are settled in. Hazel and Bob finally arrive. Alex was very nervous meeting Jackson's mum. Jackson's eyes filled up with tears. He pretty much runs to his mother and gives her a big hug.

Hazel can tell her son is upset. She throws her arms over him and pats him on his back "there there, it's ok, my darling, it's ok" Hazel couldn't help but cry also. They haven't saw one another for over a year. Hazel wasn't aloud to fly with the medication she is on and Jackson has been so busy with his new building company and finances being a little tight to visit until now. He was so happy to see his mum.

Chas offers to AJ for a bit, so Jackson can spend some time with Hazel and talk about some stuff.

"What do you mean you have stopped Chemo?" Jackson shouts.

"Look, it's just coming back. No matter how much Chemo I have, the bloody cancer just keeps coming back, I've had enough. I'm ready Jackson" Hazel stares at her son, her heartbreaking. She didn't want to do this to her son.

"Mum, don't talk like that please!" Jackson sobs.

"It's not working Jackson! I'm coming off Chemo next week then it's a waiting game"

"what? Waiting for you to die?" Jackson snaps.

Jackson can't handle this any more and storms out the house. Bob follows him. Bob explains how he was angry at Hazel at first when she first decided this. But even the doctors have said there's nothing they can do, the cancer isn't responding to the Chemo. Jackson bursts into tears, wishing he was with her through this all.

After Hazel and Bob leave. Alexander makes a brew for the builder. Sitting down next to him, he places the cups on the coffee table and places his hand on Jacksons. The builder stares into the French man's eyes and can't fight the tears. He breaks down in Alexander's arms.

Aaron is packing his suitcase in his flat in France. He lifts some jumpers out of his drawers and notices a picture tucked in between some clothes. He picks up the picture and smiles at what he sees. The picture shows Aaron and Jackson on a beach three years ago. It was AJ'S birthday and decided to to spend the day at the beach. It was a great day. He stars at himself in the picture, glancing at where is wedding ring once was. Aaron jumps at the foot steps behind the bedroom door. He quickly stuffs the picture back where it was and rushes back to his suit case. He stares at the dark skinned man that walks into the room.

"You still packing?" the English man moans.

"I'm nearly done!" Aaron states.

"You sure it's a good idea that I'm coming with you?" the dark eyed man asks.

"Ed, I've told you! It's fine. I've asked her and she doesn't mind. She's actually looking forward to meeting you"

Ed shows a confused look on his face. He couldn't understand why Aaron's ex mother-in-law was looking forward to meeting him.

Ed walks out of the bedroom leaving Aaron with his thoughts. It's only been two days, but he is missing AJ so much! He can't wait to see his son. He was excited to seeing everyone but was anxious to seeing Hazel. He knew what was going with her and that's the reason why he was going back to Emmerdale. She wanted to say Good-bye.
