Okay…it's just fabulous to know that there are people out there like me, that are a tiny bit perverted and enjoy male pregnancy…I don't feel like such a freak now! xD
Anyway here's part two.
In My Veins
Part Two
Jackson looked up as the café door swung open, a violent looking Cain bursting through it.
'Oi, Romeo! I got a bone to pick with you!' he snapped, causing Hazel and Bob to look in interest.
'Oooh! This should be good!' Bob exclaimed.
Hazel shook her head and made her way over to Jackson.
'Why is it always my boy?' she grumbled.
Jackson frowned at Cain and looked at him curiously.
'What? If it's my van you want moving, ask Aaron to do it, I'm on my lunch break.' He drawled lazily.
Cain's face contorted with rage and he threw himself down into the chair opposite Jackson and now, Hazel.
'No it's not your van I want moving, I'm here to talk about the fact that my nephew has just told me that he's bloody pregnant!' Cain growled, glaring at Jackson.
Jackson paled slightly and remained silent. Hazel burst out laughing and shook her head.
'Bloody batty more like!' she chuckled.
Cain smirked as he realized that Hazel didn't know Jackson and Aaron's 'joyous' news.
'Tsk, tsk… Did Mummy's little boy forget to tell her that he'd gotten his boyfriend up the duff?' he mocked.
Jackson glared at Cain and turned to Hazel.
'Mum…come over to Paddy's for supper tonight, will you?' he asked softly.
Hazel stopped giggling and frowned.
'Wait, Jackson, this is some joke, right?' she demanded unsurely.
'Just let me talk to you tonight, yeah?' he pleaded gently.
Hazel nodded and continued to look at her son in confusion. Jackson stood up from his tea and nodded at Cain.
'So, what is it you want to say? We're both adults Cain, we live together and I'm more than willing to stand by him. So where's the problem? Cause, to be honest mate, I don't see one.' He snapped before pushing past him and exiting the café.
Cain turned to look at Hazel, surprised and slightly impressed that Jackson had stood up to him.
'He's a good kid.' Cain said quietly.
Hazel smiled with pride, a flush spreading across her face.
'I'm going to be a grandma!'
oOo
Aaron glared at Jackson and threw the garlic bread into the oven.
'I can't believe you invited my mum over! Hazel, fine, that's your decision but Chaz? Come off it mate!' he snapped.
Jackson continued to chop the celery and rolled his eyes at Aaron's melodramatics.
'Cain knows so chances are Charity knows, don't you think it would be nice if your mum could hear it from us?' he demanded bemusedly.
Aaron shrugged and set the table, an ugly pout on his face.
'Whatever…a couple of days notice would have been nice though…' he mumbled.
Jackson smiled and placed the bowl of salad on the table.
'I think Cain was going to give me the 'Protective Father' talk today…' he chuckled.
Aaron threw his eyes up to Heaven and poured wine in to everyone's glasses except his own.
'He's probably just pissed that I'll be missing so much work.'
Jackson frowned and shook his head fondly.
'Yeah, either that or he loves you.'
Aaron was about to snap something at him when the doorbell rang. Aaron felt his heart beat faster and stood back, letting Jackson answer it. He watched as his boyfriend went out into the hall and took a steadying breath. He needed to relax. His mum was totally bonkers herself so maybe this wouldn't be so hard for her to understand. He squared his shoulders and turned to smile at Hazel who entered the room first, a huge smile on her face and a huge chocolate cake in her hand. She placed it down on the counter and winked at Aaron.
'Enjoy it! It's all I wanted when I was expecting.' She whispered.
Aaron nodded and forced a very forced smile. Chaz walked in next, followed by a very uncomfortable looking Carl.
'I didn't invite him.' Aaron spat.
Chaz rolled her eyes and shook her head.
'I don't know why you invited either of us to be honest; Jackson said it was important. I was going to bring wine but I thought it might be a bit too gay so I brought some beer instead.' She announced, placing the six-pack down beside Hazel's cake.
Jackson appeared after them and shrugged his shoulders apologetically. Aaron rolled his eyes and threw himself down into a chair, making sure to bunch his hoody around his stomach, not sure if he could tell his mum with Carl in the room. Hazel beamed across the table at him.
'So…how are you feeling?' she asked curiously.
'Fine.' He grumbled.
Carl looked around the table and noticed that Aaron didn't have any wine.
'Not drinking?' he asked in surprise.
'My therapist recommended against it.' He snapped.
Carl raised his eyebrows and sat back in his chair.
'I was only wondering.' He mumbled.
'Speak up, it's rude to mumble.' Aaron growled.
'Yeah? Well it's not half as rude as when I'll shove my-' Carl started to hiss but Chaz cut across him.
'Ooh, them chicken Kiev's look great Jackson! Make them yourself, did you?' she asked loudly.
Jackson grinned and winked at Chaz.
'Well, and now I'm not one to brag but-'
'He bought them in Iceland.' Aaron grumbled.
'Mash smells fabulous.' Hazel offered kindly.
'Aaron made that.' Jackson announced as he placed the meal down in front of them.
Chaz smiled happily.
'Aw, well no doubt it'll be the nicest part of the meal.'
Aaron snorted and rolled his eyes.
'Oh, do one, yeah?'
OoO
Hazel sighed contentedly and pushed her plate away, nothing remaining of the apple pie and ice cream that they had all just devoured.
'Now, I must admit boys, that was a lovely meal.' She announced generously.
Carl raised an eyebrow and looked at Chaz who nodded in agreement.
'Oh aye, much nicer than some of the stuff I eat at home.' She decided.
Jackson beamed with pride and draped his arm across the back of Aaron's chair.
'And of course the nicest part was the mash.' Jackson teased.
Carl nodded.
'Yup, he's a regular little Jamie Oliver.'
Aaron held his tongue and glared at Carl.
'Thanks.' He muttered.
Chaz smiled and looked around the table expectantly.
'So…Why did you boys invite us round then?' she asked curiously.
Jackson cleared his throat and looked at Aaron, waiting for him to make the first move.
Aaron stared at his hands and sighed heavily.
'Don't freak, all right? Don't scream or cry or anything just…nod or something…' he mumbled.
Chaz raised her eyebrows and looked at Jackson.
'He's in trouble again, isn't he? Why is every time you're life seems to be going in the right direction, you kick up and cause some sort of ruckus? What is you're problem, eh?' she demanded.
Aaron threw Chaz a dirty look.
'I'm not in trouble, you dozy cow, I'm pregnant!' he spat.
Chaz frowned in confusion and Carl just stared.
'You're…what?' she hissed.
Aaron folded his arms across his chest and shook his head.
'I'm not saying it again.' He sulked.
Chaz turned to Jackson and shrugged her shoulders, looking seriously out of sorts.
'Explain please.' She demanded.
Jackson nodded and offered her a small smile.
'Aaron was getting sick so I brought him to the doctor, she ran a few tests and sent us to a consultant and then the consultant ran some tests and then he told us that Aaron has a womb and is pregnant.' He said simply.
Carl burst out laughing and shook his head.
'It's possible. He couldn't be. It doesn't matter what way you guys um…you know…it just can't happen.' He argued.
Jackson nodded and shrugged his shoulders.
'Well, he is and we're having a baby.'
Hazel clapped her hands together and turned to a very pale and shell-shocked looking Chaz.
'Isnt it great?' she squealed.
OoO
Jackson lay down beside Aaron and gently ran his hands along his slightly swollen stomach.
'I thought I'd miss the muscles but nope…you're just as sexy as always…' Jackson teased lightly.
Aaron batted his hands away and pouted sulkily.
'Shut up right…God…I can't believe I'm going to have to go around the village with a fucking pregnancy bump!' he snapped.
Jackson shrugged and gently placed a kiss on Aaron's belly.
'Who cares? We'll have a gorgeous little baby soon enough…' he sighed contentedly.
Aaron looked at Jackson in a bemused manner.
'How come kids never really came up until now? It seems all you can talk about now!' he exclaimed.
Jackson smiled up at Aaron sheepishly.
'Well, to be honest, I've always wanted kids…but seeing as you're only eighteen I thought it might seem a bit heavy…' he mocked.
Aaron shook his head and pushed Jackson's head away from his stomach.
'All right, stop kissing it.' He snapped, sitting up properly.
Jackson blushed slightly and wriggled up beside Aaron.
'What are we going to call her?' he asked.
'Him.' Aaron corrected.
Jackson raised his eyebrows and shook his head.
'No, it's a girl; I can feel it. I think we should call her Chazel…' he suggested.
Aaron pulled a face and shook his head viciously.
'I'm the one carrying the bloody thing and I'm telling you it's a boy. And we're calling him Clyde.' He decided.
Jackson's jaw dropped in horror and he shook his head slowly.
'No way Aaron, no way! We are not naming our child after a dog.' He hissed.
Aaron shrugged and raised his eyebrows.
'Well, my mum ain't much better than one so…'
Jackson laughed in shock and shook his head.
'Aw, too harsh mate… Why don't we call her Dacey?'
'Dacey? I never heard of that name before…' he mumbled.
'Declan Macey, Dacey. I'm sure he'd love it.' He chuckled.
Aaron rolled his eyes and looked at Jackson in all seriousness.
'If it's a boy Jay…he'll probably hate us…hate what we are.' He said softly.
Jackson frowned and looked at curiously.
'And what makes you think that?' he demanded.
Aaron shrugged and linked his fingers with Jacksons.
'It's just…when he's older…I mean, would he be gay? Because that's what he would have grown up with…'
Jackson shook his head and wrapped his other arm around Aaron.
'No, it doesn't work like that Aaron. If it's a boy, he'll love us as much as girl would. He'll love us 'cause we'll be top class parents. I promise.'
Jackson brought Aaron's hands to his lips and kissed them softly.
'I mean it Aaron…Chazel would be a wonderful name.'
