Jackson is back in emmerdale after picking up something in Leeds for Aaron, he spots him across the road, he is walking back to dale head after taking their son to the doctors
"hey, how are my two favourite boys, what did the doctor say?" Jackson says as he takes Tyler in his arms
"she said he has got a viral infection, gave him some medicine and said to just keep an eye on him"
"are you going to take him inside, I need to have a word with your mum, ask her to watch him tonight" Jackson passed Tyler to Aaron
"got something planned?"
"I might have, I will leave the rest to your imagination, see you both later"
Jackson winks at Aaron as he walks away towards the woolpack, he needs to speak to chas
"hey, I don't often see you in here alone, so what's up?" chas says as Jackson approaches her at the bar
"I need to speak to you about Aaron"
"right, what has he done this time"
"he has not done anything, it is what I am about to do I want to speak to you about, can we have a chat, somewhere private?" Jackson asks nervously
"come through the back, we can have a chat there"
Jackson follows chas through the back and sits down beside her on the sofa
"so, what do you want to talk about"
Jackson looks down at the floor he is so nervous about discussing this with somebody else but Aaron, especially his boyfriends mother
"well, are you going to tell me sometime this century, I do have a pub to run, you know" chas says smiling at him
Jackson places his hand inside his jacket pocket and pulls out a small box, he slowly opens it to reveal a silver band ring that is quite thick in diameter, with small diamonds running through the middle of it, on the inside of the band it said
forever yours J
"do you think he will like it, I wasn't sure if he would, if it was the right one, I debated for weeks on whether I picked the right one
Jackson rambles on until chas interrupts him
"is this what I think it is"
"yes, im going to ask him to marry me, tonight"
chas moves closer to him and throws her arms around him, hugging him tightly
"its beautiful, he will love it, you two belong together, I know it, you know it, and so does he
"I really wanted to speak to paddy as well"
"oh paddy will be just as happy as I am, you don't need to worry"
"would you do me a huge favour, look after Tyler so we can be alone tonight?"
"course I will, just bring him round when you are ready, he can spend some time with his Nana, you know how I love having him around"
(dale head)
(6pm)
Jackson is undressing Tyler so he can give him a bath, to get him ready for going to see chas, he wants to be alone with Aaron, it is a while since they spent any real time together, just the two of them, without any interruptions from anyone, hazel has gone to the pub with bob at Jacksons request
suddenly Jackson gasps, he can not believe what he is seeing
Tyler has blue and purple marks around his stomach and ribs, which look suspiciously like bruises, Jackson feels his angry rising
"Aaron, come up here NOW" Jackson shouts at the top of his voice
Aaron hears him, drops what he is doing in the kitchen and runs up the stairs, he can hear the panicking in Jacksons voice, he rushes for the bathroom door
"hey, where is the fire, I thought you were giving him a bath"
"what's this" Jackson says pointing to the marks across his son's body
"what the hell" Aaron says as he kneels down in front of Tyler "what happened?"
"well, I thought you might be able to tell me, seeing as you have been looking
after him all day"
"what, I don't believe you, you think I did this, that I would deliberately harm my own son?"
"hey, come here, of course I don't think you did anything to him, I just thought maybe he had a fall and you forgot to tell me"
Jackson pulls Aaron into a hug while Tyler sits in the bath, suddenly Tyler speaks
"im ready daddy"
Aaron and Jackson look at each other intently and burst out laughing
"ready for what, little man?" Jackson said
"ready for my ducks, where are they, I want my toys"
"no toys tonight, you can take them with you when you go to see Nana chas"
Jackson passes him one of his toy ducks regardless of the fact Aaron just said no, he is very strict with him, where as Jackson is too soft and allows him to get away with anything he wants
"why did you do that for? no wonder he is spoilt, he wraps you around his little finger"
"there is only one person around here that wraps me around anything, and its not your finger" Jackson said suggestively
"save it for later, why don't you go and finish the cooking while I bath Tyler Aaron said
(5 hours later)
Tyler has gone to stay with chas for the night so Aaron and Jackson can have some alone time,so Jackson can ask Aaron what he has been waiting to ask him for weeks now, in the kitchen they are washing up and discussing tyler's supposed bruises, Aaron has his body pressed up against Jacksons while his hands are around his stomach and up his shirt caressing his abs and his lips are pressed against his neck
"really think we should take him back to the doctors, something isn't right" Aaron said in between kissing Jackson
"mmmm, yea tomorrow" Jackson moans as Aaron is kissing and biting lightly across his neck and ear
"lets go to bed" Aaron said
"we need to talk about something, I need to ask you..."
Jackson doesn't quite get his words out, he knows when Aaron wants something, he usually gets it, so he gives in to him, just like always
"we can talk upstairs, come on" Aaron said
"if we go upstairs there wont be much talking going on" Jackson said smirking
Jackson allows himself to be taken by the hand and up the stairs, into their bedroom
Aaron closes the door behind them, he looks down at his hand entwined with his boyfriends, Aaron brings Jacksons hand up to his mouth and kisses across his knuckles, Jackson smiles back at him looking lovingly into Aaron eyes
Aaron moved as close as he could to Jackson, their chests touching, Aaron placed one hand to the side of Jacksons face slowly moving his thumb across his cheek, he moves closer to him and places his tongue across Jacksons bottom lip begging for access to his boyfriends mouth,which Jackson allows by parting his mouth, their tongues touch each others very quickly, the kiss becomes passionate as they both moan and pant against each others open mouth, Aaron pushes Jackson across the bed as he removes his own clothes along with Jacksons, Aaron starts a trail of kisses from Jacksons jaw line, down his neck, across his chest, just as Aaron is about to reach Jacksons groin, he pulls Aaron up to him and kisses him across the lips and says
"do you mind if we don't, tonight?"
"course not, what's wrong, you look upset"
"im not upset, just worried about our son"
"I know babe, me too, maybe we could have a chat with him tomorrow"
"you think someone did this to him, the bruises I mean"
"really don't see how else he could have got them"
"I know, I just love him so much, I just cant bear the thought of anyone hurting him"
Jackson starts to cry and Aaron holds his tightly in his arms
"shhhh everything will be okay, we will speak to him tomorrow, lets just get some sleep"
Jackson lays across Aaron chest placing his hand across his heart while Aaron places his fingers through Jacksons curly hair caressing it between his fingers, Jackson pulls the duvet over both of them
" I love you, Aaron livesy"
"I love you too"
Aaron turns off the lamp at his side of the bed, they both fall into a deep sleep
(next morning)
Aaron and Jackson was still in bed, chas had taken Tyler to nursery so there was no rush to get out of bed, both of them enjoying their alone time together wrapped around each other and watching TV, Jackson is looking up at Aaron, suddenly he says "I love you, Aaron" "yea, I know that you do" Jackson sits up. Resting on one elbow looking at Aaron, into his
eyes "no I mean, I really love you" Aaron laughs at him "why are you getting so emotional, all of a sudden" Jackson turns around and reaches into the bedside drawer on his side of the bed, he pulls out a small box and holds it in his hands "here, open it" Jackson places the ring box into Aaron hand and urges him to open it, Aaron does as he asks and opens the ring box to see a stunning engagement ring, Aaron gasps at the sight of it, Jackson suddenly starts to speak taking both of Aaron hands in his "I knew when I first saw you, you were
the one, your eyes, that stunning smile, going to bar west that night was the best decision I EVER made, the day I realised I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you was the day you first held our son in your arms, I knew then I loved you with my whole heart and soul, I knew how lucky I was to have you and I thank god every day for sending you to me, you are my whole world, my whole life, I want to go to sleep and wake up every morning with your face looking back at me, when I close my eyes for the final time, it is you I want beside
me, I am nothing without you, when I am having a bad day I know all I need to do is look into your eyes and everything is so brighter again, my love for you is unconditional, you are my strength you are my reason for living, you mean everything to me" "will you marry me, will you be my husband?" Aaron eyes are welling up with tears, he blinks and the floodgates open, tears are streaming down his face, Jackson takes him in his arms and hugs him "hey baby, im sorry if I upset you, but I meant every word" "you haven't upset me, it was the most beautiful thing anybody has ever said to me" "I feel exactly the same, you make my heart skip a beat everytime I look at you" Aaron said "so, is that a yes or a no" Jackson says
smirking "it is a yes, course I will marry you, I can not think of anything I would like more, I like the idea of calling myself Aaron Walsh, it really suits me" Aaron says resisting the urge to smile Jackson finds the ring box which has somehow ended up inside the bed, somewhere "here we go, found it" Jackson said Jackson pulls the ring from its box, holds Aaron left hand and places the ring on the third finger of his hand "its perfect, fits just right, do you like it?" "I love it, it is beautiful just like you" Aaron pulls Jackson in for a passionate kiss "i love you Jackson Walsh"
"I love you too"
"so when are you going to make an honest man out of me"
