Aaron was sat on the sofa reading a newspaper, it had been seven years since he had come clean to Robert about the abuse that he had suffered through when he was a child. Robert had been his rock throughout the whole revelation about the abuse, he had been a shoulder for Aaron to cry on from telling him, to Chas saying that it was all his fault when Gordon broke off their relationship, right through to the court hearing and every moment afterwards. Robert had been there to comfort him after every nightmare that plagued his dreams; Aaron had suffered through many bad dreams since that day that Gordon had come back to the village all those years ago. Since being together Robert had always been there to wake Aaron up from all of his bad dreams that caused him to scream, kick and thrash around in bed. He often wondered what he would of done if Robert had not been there to console him when he finally revealed what he had gone through as a child to when he was a young teenager. However he was now married to the love of his life and they had a child who they had adopted. Aaron was very happy, more than he had ever been before, he now had everything that he had ever wanted. At last he could put the past behind him and look forward to the future with Robert and their child.
"Daddy, can I have some money for the cinema? I'm going out with some of my mates. I will be back by 5pm" she asked.
Aaron looked up and saw his daughter stood by the coffee table, her dark brown hair hung past her shoulders and her deep blue eyes would melt the heart of even the toughest person alive; even Cain's personality would change completely when he was with her or talking about her. Cain was very proud of his grandniece and he was very proud of Aaron. The young girl was wearing a grey hoodie, dark blue jeans and her white trainers "Sure princess" Aaron stood up and opened his wallet "Promise me that you will be home by 5pm".
"I promise. Do you need me to get anything from the shop?" she smiled.
"Can you get some teabags and some bread? Here, this should cover everything" Aaron handed his daughter a twenty pound note.
"Sure. Can you tell daddy that I will be back for dinner?" she put the twenty pound in her purse.
"And just where do think you're going, madam?" Robert asked when he walked into the room and saw that his daughter was going out.
"Just to the cinema with my mates to see a horror film, daddy said that it was ok. I'll be back at 5pm." she looked at Robert and then back at Aaron.
"Horror movies still scare the living day lights out of your dad. So much that he still needs to hold my hand when we watch them" Aaron laughed "I normally end up with a bruised hand before the end of the film".
"I still get nightmares from watching Childs play. But be careful Alyssa, there a lot of weirdos out there" Robert smiled at his daughter.
"Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself" she smiled and hugged Aaron "Love you daddy".
Aaron smiled and hugged his daughter "I love you too princess".
"Oi! Don't forget about your other cool dad" Robert laughed.
Alyssa then walked over and hugged Robert "And I love you daddy".
Robert hugged her back "Love you too Al" Robert kissed his daughter on the top of her head.
"Right, I have to go. See ya later." She waved to her dads as she walked out of the front door and picked up her bike and she cycled her friend's house.
"When did she become so independent?" Robert asked as he walked over to the sofa to sit with his husband.
"What do you expect? We adopted her when she was seven, and she has us as dads. And we've had our fair share of drama's and fights since being together" Aaron smiled.
"She is kind hearted, Brave and tough" Robert laughed "Just like you are, my little grease monkey. I guess that you're her role model".
"I can't believe that she's 14 years old, and she still calls us her daddy's" Aaron smiled.
"I think we've done a good job at raising her." Robert leaned back and put one arm behind Aaron.
"We certainly have" Aaron said as he rested his head on Robert's shoulder.
Robert smiled at Aaron "Your mum has been training her to pour pints and to work in a pub" Robert chuckled as he stroked Aaron's hair.
"I know, she told me. Vic has been teaching her how to cook street food" Aaron chuckled.
"Oh god, my sister is teaching our daughter how to make street food?" Robert kissed Aaron's head.
"She always wants to help, bless her." Aaron looked up at Robert "What would I do without you two?".
Robert smiled at Aaron and they kissed on the lips. Their kiss was long but passionate, after their lips parted Robert gazed into Aaron eyes. Robert could get lost in the eyes of his husband 'my angel' he thought.
Just then the door opened and Chas walked in "Hey ya, I just wanted to pop round and see you two whilst I'm on my break" Chas smiled.
"Hi mum" Aaron stood up and walked over and hugged his mum and she hugged him back.
"Hey Chas" Robert smiled and gave Chas a small wave with his left hand.
"Hi Robert, so how is everything? And how is my little helper?" Chas sat down in a chair opposite Robert.
"Everything is great, Alyssa has just gone out with some friends" Aaron said "Does anyone want a coffee?".
"Yes please babe" Robert smiled at Aaron.
"Just a glass of orange juice for me please sweetheart" Chas looked at Aaron.
Aaron walked to the kitchen to make Robert a coffee and to get his mum a glass of orange juice. Leaving Robert and Chas to talk in the living room. Aaron was very happy to see Robert and Chas getting along and not tearing shreds out of each other all he time, like how they used too.
"He looks very happy." Chas smiled.
"He has everything that he deserves, he has a daughter that he loves to pieces, he has a mum who dotes on him, he has a big house and I love the bones of him" Robert smiled.
"I am so glad that he has you and Alyssa" said Chas "you both mean the world to him, he wouldn't have got through everything without you". Chas smiled at Robert.
"He means everything to me and Alyssa" said Robert.
Aaron walked back into the Living room and handed his mum her drink and he handed Robert his mug of coffee, Aaron then sat down beside Robert "Alyssa has told me that your are already training her up to work at the pub" Aaron raised one eyebrow.
"There's nothing wrong with giving her some work experience" Chas sipped her drink "Oh... and Cain wants to teach her some self-defence".
"Ok, just warn Cain that she is already very good at punching" Aaron smirked.
"Did you teach her how to punch?" Chas asked.
"Yeah, I showed her how to be a proper Dingle-Sugden" Aaron smiled.
"I just held the punching bag and tried to dodge her punches. But she still managed to punch me, somehow" Robert joked.
"She had a rough time growing up before we adopted her, so we thought that we would show her how to stand up for herself." Aaron said.
"He did all of the teaching, I just did all of the dodging. She's just like him" Robert smiled and put one arm over Aaron's shoulder "She's brave, kind and stubborn as hell."
Aaron smiled "don't forget that she is just like you when it comes to getting her own way." Aaron looked at Robert and Robert gave him a light peck on the lips.
"I was wondering if I could take you three to the beach for a day this week." Chas begged.
"Yeah we can do that. We're free this weekend" Robert said with cheery voice.
"Great. Right then, I better get back to the pub so that Charity doesn't moan at me for leaving her to work all by herself. Like she actually does any work" Chas put her empty glass down, she stood up and walked out of the front door.
"See ya mum!" Aaron shouted to Chas.
"See ya Chas!" shouted Robert.
"Bye!" Chas shouted back as got in her car and drove back to the village.
"So... What now?" Robert asked as he clonked the empty mug down onto the coffee table and he placed a hand behind Aaron and he gently stroked the back of Aaron's neck with his finger tips.
"We have the place to ourselves and we have exactly two hours before our daughter comes home. We could get up to a lot within that time" Aaron looked at Robert. There was a look in his eyes that told Robert that he wanted something.
"Hang on a minute, I know that look. Are you thinking what I think you are thinking?" Robert looked Aaron up and down and he smirked. He knew exactly what Aaron was thinking about.
"That depends on how well you know me" Aaron winked at Robert.
"You dirty little grease monkey." Robert laughed.
"Why don't you do something about it then, Mr Sugden?" Aaron loved to tease Robert so he took great pleasure in saying those words.
"Ok, I will" Robert stood up, he grabbed Aaron's hand and he led out of the living room and up the stairs to their bedroom. Once they had got into their bedroom Robert shut the door behind them and he pushed Aaron up against it; so that they were face to face. He held Aaron's wrists above his head against the door, Robert then pressed his own body against Aaron's and they kissed fiercely on the lips for a few seconds. Robert pushed his tongue past Aaron's lips and fought for dominance over each others mouths as they kissed: gasping of air when ever their mouths separated. Robert let go of Aaron's wrists and moved his hands down to Aaron's chest, Robert was teasing his husband as he slowly unzipped Aaron's hoodie and threw it onto the floor, Aaron pushed Robert's jacket off over his arms and it fell to the floor. Robert unfastened the belt around Aaron's jeans, then he spun Aaron around and pushed his husband down onto their bed. Aaron landed with his elbows bent to prop him up and he had one knee bent with the other knee straight. Robert then took his own top off and dropped it onto the floor, he leaned over and pulled down Aaron's jeans and he threw them to one side of the room, he crawled up onto the bed and straddled Aaron. "I love you so much" Robert whispered as he started to kiss the soft spot on Aaron's neck. Kissing him just hard enough to make his husband moan and groan but he did not leave a mark on Aaron's skin.
Aaron had both of his hands on Robert's waist "I love you too Rob" Aaron moaned as Robert kissed his skin and caressed his chest. Aaron then flipped Robert onto his back and he slowly planted soft kisses all over Robert's torso.
"I wasn't expecting that" Robert groaned as he felt Aaron's warm, soft lips on his chest and stomach.
Aaron straddled Robert and smiled "Surprise, it's now my turn to be in control" Aaron fiddled with the belt around Robert's jeans before eventually pulling them down and throwing them to the floor. Aaron then began to grind his hips against Robert's hips.
"That's perfectly fine by me" Robert moaned and gripped Aaron's thigh with one hand, and rubbed it gently, he held Aaron's waist with his other hand.
Aaron pounded Robert and he was loving it "Ungh, Aaron. Oh Aaron" Robert moaned.
"Having fun big boy?" Aaron asked as he kissed Robert's stomach.
"Aha" Robert nodded frantically "I... love you Aaron" Robert groaned. Aaron leaned down and kissed Robert on the lips, before he went back to working on Robert.
