Read and Enjoy!
Jackson was stood in the doorway of Tyler's hospital room watching the scene unfold In front of him, he catches Laura's eye, she spots him standing there, she smirks once she realises how shocked Jackson is to see her, she knows he doesn't want her to be within an inch of the two most important people in his life, Jackson walks over towards Tyler and Aaron
"hey, how are my two favourite boys" Jackson said while he stares at Laura, the words were meant more for her than for Aaron and Tyler
Jackson very quickly moves over to Aaron and kisses him on the lips, very forcefully, when Jackson pulls away Aaron has a big smile across his face
"wow, what was that for?"
"need a reason to kiss you now, do I" the kiss tells Laura in no uncertain terms to back the hell off
"course not, tell daddy how better you feel now" Aaron said
"poorly tummy all gone now daddy, am not a poorly boy any more"
"come here little man, give daddy a big cuddle" Jackson said
Tyler throws his arms around his daddy as Jackson pulls him towards him, as he hugs his son, Jackson speaks
"so, you are here because?" Jackson said to Laura
"Jackson" Aaron gives him a look as if to say, do not start
"I came because I was worried about Tyler
"we both know that isn't true, you gave up any right to be a part of his life when you gave him to me and Aaron, don't start acting like a concerned mother now, how did you find out?"
"Dan rang nick, you know my brother"
"yes, I know who he is"
Aaron is fast losing his temper with both of them, he snatches Tyler from Jackson's arms
"what the hell are you doing?" Jackson said
"I don't want my son to see you arguing, just stop it both of you, now"
"I will leave you to it, see you later Aaron, bye bye, sweetheart" Laura said to Tyler, as she leaves the room, she glances at Jackson with a dirty look
Laura walks across the corridor towards the family room, she intends on waiting, as she walks towards the door, she notices the door is slightly ajar, she waits and listens, she can hear two voices speaking, it is Gordon and hazel, speaking about Aaron
"so you are Aaron's dad, I am sure he will be pleased to see you both" hazel said sarcastically, she knows some of the problems Aaron had with his dad, she also knows they do not have a close relationship
"I am hoping he will want to see me, I just want the chance to make him see I have changed, all I want is a relationship with my son, I would like him to have the chance to get to know his brother and Tyler to get to know Daniel, Jackson came to see me, I am hoping he can talk to him for me"
"this is Aaron we are talking about, yes?" hazel laughs
Laura has listened outside the door to every word, listening to the conversation has made her realise, Aaron does not know his father is here or that his beloved Jackson has betrayed him, well he will find out just as soon as she gets a chance to tell him herself
(back in Tyler's room)
Aaron and Jackson are discussing Laura suddenly turning up
"I am sure, she won't be here long, she just wanted to see how the little man was"
Jackson moves over to Aaron, close to his face Jackson whispers
"Aaron I love you, but you can be so stupid at times"
"what the hell is that suppose to mean"
"she isn't here to see Tyler, she doesn't give a toss about our son, we both know why she is here"
"Jackson, not this again, why do you always think the worse of her"
"there is nothing good to see, you know what she did last time, she nearly destroyed our relationship and she enjoyed every second of it, I am warning you, she attempts to repeat what happened last time, I will be out of that door so fast, you won't know what hit you, I forgave you for Flynn after what happened with her, it won't happen a third time, not again"
"nothing like that will EVER happen again, we are stronger now"
"I know, maybe I am overreacting, I just...the thought of losing you, living my life without you is just too much, I don't think..."
"hey, that won't ever happen, I would never leave you Jackson, you and Tyler are all I want from my life, I am complete now, I have been ever since I met you"
Jackson pulls Aaron in for a hug, he places his mouth against Aaron ear and whispers
"I love you baby"
"I love you too" Aaron replies
Laura is stood in the doorway, watching and listening to them both "this is going to be harder than I thought" Laura thinks to herself
"Jackson, hazel is asking for you, she is in the family room" Laura lies to get Aaron alone
Jackson goes to find hazel, leaving Laura and Aaron alone with Tyler
"so how is he, Tyler I mean, you already know what I think about Jackson"
"don't okay, I know how you feel about him, but I love him, so please don't talk about him like that"
"I have met your dad, I must say I was very surprised he was here, as I know you two don't exactly get on"
Aaron's eyes have glazed over, his eyes are like stone as he looks over at Laura
"WHAT, what do you mean, you have seen my dad, WHERE?"
"he is in the family room, with hazel and..."
before Laura can finish what she was trying to say, Aaron has stormed from Tyler's room into the family room, he opens the door, almost knocking it from its hinges, Jackson notices the look on his face, he knows that look, it is the same look Aaron always gets when he is angry, Jackson approaches him
"Aaron, don't do anything stupid, just stay calm" Jackson said
"shut up, you are in no position to tell me to do anything"
Aaron turns to Gordon shouting in his face
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?"
"I heard about Tyler, I just wanted to help if I can, please Aaron" Gordon said
"who told you about Tyler?"
Gordon puts his head down and Jackson closes his eyes, Aaron glances in Jackson's direction, Aaron guesses straight away who told his dad
"I do not want you anywhere near my son, have you got that, you destroyed me enough through my childhood, do not think for one minute that I am going to allow you to do it to Tyler too"
"I know what I did to you, it haunts me, it has done for years but I can not change the past, I have a chance to do something good for you and for him, please don't throw that back in my face, please let me help him
Aaron falls down in the chair beside him, he puts his head into his hands sobbing, Gordon kneels down beside him
"please son, please let me take the test, I may not be a match but if I am, Tyler could be well again, everything could go back to the way it used to be, when the three of you was so happy together, please?"
"okay, you can take the test, but do not think this gives you any right back into my life, because it doesn't, if that is what you want, you might as well turn right around and don't come back, nothing you ever do will change what you did"
Jackson exhales a huge sigh of relief, Gordon, hazel and Daniel leave the room at hazel's suggestion, she knows Aaron and Jackson need to talk, Jackson's actions could have damaged his relationship with Aaron, beyond repair this time,
Jackson moves closer towards Aaron and pulls on his arm, trying to turn him around to face him so they are looking at each other, Aaron lets rip
"take your hands off me, I am never EVER going to forgive you for this"
"Aaron please"
"how could you do this to me, you know what that man did to me, what he put me through, you are suppose to love me, at least I thought you did"
"how can you say that, of course I love you, it is because I love you, because I love you both that I went to see him in the first place,
"no, if you loved me, you wouldn't have gone, end of, I trusted you, I told you things I have never told anyone, you completely betrayed me"
"please baby, just let me explain"
"no, nothing you say, will change what you did, its over, if I can't trust you, there is no point staying together
"I can think of a few points why we should stay together, we have a child together and we love each other, isn't that enough?"
"I really wish it was"
"so what, that is it, over after five years, did I ever mean anything to you?"
"of course you did, you do, I love you so much"
"then why are you..."
"hang on, who told you about your dad"
"what do you mean"
"don't act stupid Aaron, when you came in this room, you was angry, like you knew what you were expecting to find"
"WHO TOLD YOU, like I even have to ask, why can't you see what she is doing to us"
"she isn't doing anything, if you hadn't done what you did, there would be no reason for her to be able to come between us, you did this jay, not her, I told you, in no uncertain terms did I want that man anywhere near my son"
"oh, its my son now is it, thank you very much"
Aaron moves towards the door, he has had enough of this conversation now, he just wants to see Tyler and go home
"I am going to see Tyler, then I am leaving, you can do what you want"
Aaron is about to open the door when he feels a hand pressed over his, his hand is on the door handle, Jackson's own hand is over his, Jackson speaks
"please baby don't do this, I love you, we belong together, I am begging you, please Aaron you can shout, scream at me but don't end us, if not for me then do it for Tyler, wait till he is better then we can talk about it again,
Jackson places both his hands upon Aaron face, he cups his face, he does this because he knows Aaron loves it and can never say no to him, unfortunately, this time he can, Aaron places his hands over Jackson's that so happen to be across his own face, he pulls them away from him
"do not touch me, you make me sick, you know that, using your own son to get what you want"
he pushes Jackson away from him and pulls open the door, rushing down the corridor in floods of tears he passes hazel who looks at him shocked and confused
"Aaron love, what has happened?"
Aaron ignores hazel as he walks past her towards Tyler's room, he doesn't mean to but he is so upset he can't speak, hazel open the door to the family room to find Jackson sat down on a chair with his head in his hands, he is crying uncontrollably, she sits down beside him
"oh sweetheart, what has happened, I just saw Aaron, he looked upset, did you two have a fight?"
"mum it was worse than that, he isn't ever going to forgive me, not this time"
"of course he will, he loves you, you know that"
"not with that bitch around he won't, now the doubts are there, she will make sure she turns him completely against me
"nothing could come between you two, nothing, do you hear me, you have been through everything life could throw at you and you always stay together"
"not this time, you didn't see the way he was looking at me, I have completely let him down, I don't blame him for hating me, if it was the other way around I would feel the same"
"he doesn't hate you Jackson, whatever you say, you don't fall out of love with someone that quickly, I am sure he is angry with you but he will come around"
"not with Laura around, she will use this to her advantage, I know it"
"why do you hate her so much?, I know she tried to cause some trouble between you in Spain but it can't of been that bad
"you have got no idea what that woman is capable of, she is evil"
"what do you mean?, what happened in Spain Jackson, tell me please"
Jackson begins to tell his mum what happened in Spain
"we met Laura while in Spain, she was the sister of a friend of Dan's, nick her brother helped me to get the construction managers job, we was so happy, Cain had managed to use his contacts in Spain to find a job for Aaron over there, everything was perfect for a long time, I worked along side nick so we got along pretty well, when we met Laura she was working in a bar over there, her boss was giving her a hard time, he sacked her and she then suddenly had nowhere to live so she came to live with us
we both became very close to her, when we decided on having a baby, surrogacy became a problem as it was so expensive over there with huge waiting lists, she knew how upset we both were, we both wanted a baby more than anything, so she offered to have it for us, when Tyler was born she became obsessed with Aaron and the baby, it was like I didn't exist any more
I felt so pushed out all the time, I spent most of my time, either on my own or in bars all the time, I met someone in a bar one night, he was just a friend but she found out about it, she tried to ensure with money that this guy seduced me, of course then she totally convinced Aaron I cheated on him which never happened, he was so upset he kissed her, I found it hard to trust him for a long time but we got over it, afterwards she backed off, few years later we came home and here we are"
"WHAT, so why is Aaron behaving like she is miss innocent?" hazel said
"he never believed she did anything wrong, he still doesn't, as far as he is concerned she gave us Tyler so we should be grateful"
"so what does she want, why is she here?"
"she wants Aaron and Tyler, as far as she is concerned she is his mum and Aaron is his dad, she wants them to be a happy family, she won't stop until she gets it"
"what am I going to do mum?"
(back in Tyler's room)
Aaron walks back into his room, Laura and the nurse is with him, Laura notices he has been crying, she smirks to herself at the trouble she has obviously caused, Aaron pulls Tyler into his arms, he wants to hug his son, get some kind of comfort from what just happened with Jackson
"daddy are you crying, please don't cry" Tyler said, sensing his dad had been crying
"I am okay, little man"
"where is daddy?, is he coming back
"he will be back soon, he is just talking to Nana hazel"
"I have to go now, be good for Laura, wont you?"
"wait I will come with you, you look upset, I really don't think you should be alone right now"
"no just stay with Tyler, at least until Jackson comes back"
(2 hours later)
(at dale head)
Aaron is upstairs in his and Jackson's bedroom, Laura is sat in the living room reading a magazine when Jackson comes through the door
"where is Aaron?"
"upstairs, don't go up, I don't know what you said to him but he is devastated, I hope you are proud of yourself"
"excuse me, I didn't do anything, that was you, opening your big mouth, why did you do it, was you deliberately trying to hurt him?"
"I love him, I would never do anything to hurt him, unlike you" Laura said
Jackson is about to climb the stairs when he is stopped in his tracks by Laura's voice
"why don't you do everyone including Tyler and Aaron a huge favour and just leave, leave them, if you loved them you would, I am not going to lie to you, I want them both, I always have and I always get what I want Jackson, what is best for Tyler is being brought up by me and Aaron, you know it and I know it"
Jackson walks over to Laura, he bends down so he is knee level with her
"it is never going to happen, so get that sick idea, right out of your head, even if Aaron wanted you, which I know for a fact he doesn't, you will NEVER get me out of Tyler's life, he may not have my blood running through his veins but I am the one who is on his birth certificate, he has my name, not Aaron's and he loves me not you
"as for Aaron, we love each other, you aren't ever going to change that, five years Laura, he won't ever love you like he loves me, I am going to do everything I can to get him back, you are not a threat to our relationship, you never were, nobody ever has been and nobody ever will be
(5 minutes later)
Jackson walks through his and Aaron's bedroom, Aaron is sat on the bed with his back to the headboard and his knees raised up with his head down, he looks upset, Jackson opens the wardrobe door, he pulls out a bag and starts putting his clothes into it, afterwards he sits on the edge of the bed, Aaron suddenly speaks
Jackson, what is going on, where are you going?" Aaron said panicking
"to Dan's, just for a few days, give us a bit of space, time to think"
Aaron moves closer towards Jackson and down the bottom of the bed, he places both his hands under Jackson's shirt and up onto his chest, Aaron rests his head upon Jackson's shoulder, Jackson sighs under Aaron's touch, he turns around in Aaron's arms looking confused
"don't say anything baby, just listen,I have had time to think, I shouldn't of said what I did, I didn't mean any of it, I don't want it be over, I just need some time by myself for a while, do you mind?"
"course I don't mind, that is why I am going to Dan's, give us some space"
Aaron moves ever closer to Jackson and places his head on his shoulder looking lovingly at Jackson
"I love you Jackson, I couldn't live without you, hope you know that"
"me too baby, I couldn't imagine life without you or our little boy"
"he will be okay, wont he?"
"of course, just you wait and see, I am going to go now, Dan will be expecting me"
"okay, call me, wont you?"
"yes" Jackson stands up and learns forward, he kisses Aaron on the lips"
"I love you babe" Jackson said
"I love you too"
(2 hours later)
(in Aaron's bedroom)
after Jackson left Aaron fell asleep, he suddenly wakes and is startled by what he finds, Laura is lying beside him as close as she can get
"Laura what are you..."
Laura places her finger across Aaron's lips while pulling on his bottom lip
"Shhhh" Laura said
she moves across Aaron's body so she is straddling him, her mouth is moving ever closer towards Aaron's...
