I've decided to carry on this storyline, don't quite know where it will end but I hope you will stick with me. It continues 3 months after the last one finished.

"Hazel, we just want it simple."

Hazel looked at Aaron and Jackson with disappointment. "Really."

"Yes really," said Jackson.

"Really," she said again.

Jackson and Aaron laughed.

"But you're my two boy's, I want it to be a special day for ya."

"It will be," said Aaron, "because we're getting married, all we need is you and dad and a couple of friends."

Hazel sighed in defeat, she knew she wouldn't change their minds. "Okay, I just want it to be a day you won't forget."

"We won't, now how about you take us for a pint," said Aaron smiling, showing Hazel that everything was alright.

Hazel smiled back at him and got up. "Let me go and put some lippy on."

"What for, Bob's away," said Jackson with a smirk.

"Shut up," she said and went upstairs.

Aaron turned and looked at Jackson. "I think we may have upset her."

"She'll get over it," said Jackson taking hold of Aaron's hand, "it's our day and it's gonna be exactly as we want it," he leaned towards Aaron and stopped just short of kissing him, "do you still love me?"

Aaron moved that extra inch and captured Jackson's lips with his, it was a sensual kiss and both didn't want to stop the connection but they had to come up for air. "Does that answer your question," Aaron smiled. "I'm gonna go and see Dad, see if he's coming to the pub with us," he let go of Jackson's hand and walked out of the kitchen with Jackson admiring the view as he went.

Even after three months Jackson couldn't believe that Aaron had asked him to marry him. It had been such an unlike Aaron thing to do. He remembered when they had got home and told Paddy and his mum, Hazel didn't stop crying for two days she was that happy, and every time one of them passed her she pulled them into a hug saying how happy she was.

"I'm ready," Hazel said as she walked back into the kitchen, "come on then, I'll even shout you dinner," she looked around, "where's Aaron?"

"Gone to see Paddy."

Just then Aaron came back in. "Dad's gonna meet us there, he's got one more appointment."

The three of them walked across to the pub very briskly, it was November and it was starting to get cold in the evening's and they couldn't wait to be in the warmth of the Woolpack. The pub was quite full but they managed to find a table and sit down.

"What do you want to drink?" asked Hazel taking her purse out of her bag before taking her coat off and putting it on the back of the chair.

"I'll have a pint," said Jackson.

"Me too."

Hazel went upto the bar. "Evening Diane."

"Hazel, how are you?" asked Diane as she turned around.

"Good thank's."

"What can I get you?"

"I'll have two pints of the usual for the boys and I'll have a large gin & tonic please."

Diane pulled the pints and put them on the bar, Aaron came over and picked them up to take back to the table while Hazel waited for her drink.

"Is that all?" asked Diane.

"For now, but can I have a couple of menu's please," she said as she handed the money over for the drinks. She walked back to the table and sat down handing one of the menu's to Aaron and Jackson.

"Pick anything you want, I'm feeling flush today."

"Well," said Jackson, "I think that call's for a couple of steaks, what do ya think babe?" he said turning to Aaron with a big smile on his face.

"That sound's good to me."

"We should probably wait for Paddy before we order," said Hazel getting an agreement from the boys. "So," she said, "have you decided on a date, you've got to give me time to find and outfit."

Aaron and Jackson looked at each other. "We've got two dates in mind but we have to see the registrar tomorrow to confirm which one we can have," said Jackson.

"Well?"

Jackson looked at his mum, "either March 3rd or 10th."

Hazel smiled, "that give's me four months to shop for something special." The boy's looked at Hazel knowing that she would probably try on every outfit in every shop in Hotten and probably Leeds as well. They didn't mind though, they both loved to see Hazel like this, it made here such a joy to be around.

It wasn't long before Paddy arrived and they all ordered their food and more drinks. They ate as they talked. "So who are you having as your best man's?" asked Hazel as they finished eating.

"Adam," said Aaron putting the last piece of steak in his mouth.

Paddy who had been sat quietly listening didn't give Jackson a chance to speak. "I need some air," he said as he got up from the table and walked out of the pub.

"Is your dad alright?" asked Jackson as he looked at the back of Aaron's head as he was still looking at the door that his dad had just gone through.

"He has been quiet lately," said Hazel.

Aaron turned to look at them both. "I'd better go and see if he is alright," he said getting up.

"Do you want me to come with you?" asked Jackson.

Aaron smiled at him, then leaned down and kissed him, "no, it's alright, I'll be right back."

A&J

"Dad," said Aaron as he walked up to him.

Paddy didn't look up.

Sitting down next to his dad, Aaron touched his arm. "What's wrong dad."

"All this wedding talk, I don't know, I just need to get my head round it."

"What?"

He turned to look at Aaron. "I'm just not sure about you getting married!"
