Emmerdale and it's charactors belong to ITV, not me!

I wanted to get a chapter in before I went away for the weekend, hope you enjoy.

Aaron picked up the speed of his thrusts, "Oh god Jackson, I love you so much," he said as he thrust for the final time as his orgasm hit and he emptied himself into Jackson. "That was so good," said Jackson pulling Aaron on top of him, "you can wake me up any morning like that." Aaron smiled and kissed Jackson before he pulled out of him and laid down beside him, he looked at the clock, it was nine fifteen. "Well mum was right about one thing," said Jackson.

"What was that?" asked Aaron turning on his side and running his hand up and down Jackson's stomach.

"She said we wouldn't get much sleep, what was that, fifth or was it the sixth time," said Jackson pulling Aaron into him.

"Sixth," said Aaron, "don't forget you woke me up at four this morning because you said you'd had a dream about me and that had aroused you and you wanted my help in…."

Jackson smiled fondly, "Oh yeah."

Aaron kissed Jackson tenderly. "Yesterday was perfect, wasn't it?"

Jackson moved Aaron onto his back and got on top of him, straddling him, "it was, and we had a perfect ending to it," he crashed his lips against Aarons, but before they could go any further there was a knock at the door, Aaron groaned into Jackson's mouth. "Who is it?" shouted Jackson.

"Room service," came a voice from outside.

They both looked at each other. "Have you ordered something?" asked Jackson, Aaron shook his head. Jackson jumped off Aaron who covered himself up with the sheets and Jackson put on one of the complimentary robes and went to the door. Opening it he saw a young lad with a trolley of food. "May I?" he asked, Jackson moved aside and let the guy push the trolley into the room. "Good morning gentlemen," Aaron and Jackson both said morning still not understanding where the food had come from. The guy put the trolley next to the table and left, "enjoy your breakfast," he said as he closed the door.

Aaron jumped out of bed and put on the other robe. "Smells good," he said as he walked up behind Jackson and wrapped his arms around him. Jackson lifted one of the lids on a plate. "Full English," he said picking off a bit of bacon and putting it in his mouth, he was looking at what else was on the tray when he noticed and envelope.

"What's that?" asked Aaron moving to Jackson's side.

The envelope had his and Aaron's name on it. "It's mums writing," he said opening it and taking out the card inside.

"Well, what's it say?" asked Aaron.

Jackson read it out.

Morning my darlings,

We knew you wouldn't get up to go down for breakfast, so we ordered you breakfast in bed.

A full English as you will have no doubt worked up an appetite.

See you both later.

Lots of love

"We've got the best parents in the world," said Aaron as he kissed Jackson then sat down at the table. Jackson placed the plates in front of them and poured two cups of tea.

"I like being looked after," said Aaron as he picked up the dainty cup of tea awkwardly, "can't we ask for some mugs," he said.

Jackson laughed. "They don't have mugs in a hotel like this." they both laughed and tucked into their breakfast.

"I still can't believe that we are married and we are going on our honeymoon on Tuesday…it all seems so unreal," said Aaron.

"Six times last night and this morning, and you think it all seems unreal."

Aaron smiled. "You know what I mean."

"I do, but it is real and I have no regrets."

"Me neither," said Aaron reaching across the table and touching Jackson's hand, "the only place I want to be from now on is with you, nothing is going to spoil our happiness."

A&J

Hazel was sat at the kitchen table reading some information that the doctor had given her, she wanted to know absolutely everything there was to know about her condition. She wanted to be ready for Wednesday, she was really glad that Jackson and Aaron wouldn't be here, she wanted to spare them the pain at least for a little while longer. The operation had first been scheduled for the Wednesday before but she had flatly refused, not wanting to disrupt Jackson and Aaron's wedding. Just then her phone rang. "Hello….yes hello Miss Wren….yes Tuesday lunchtime is still good…you know how to get to Emmerdale…good I'll see you then." Hazel shut the phone off, Jackson and Aaron's flight was early morning on Tuesday so they wouldn't be here when the solicitor came.

"Hazel."

Hazel jumped as she looked up and saw Paddy. "You nearly gave me a heart attack."

"Sorry," he said smiling, "I'm going out on a call then me and you are going to sit down and have a chat…I know something's not right."

Hazel smiled. "Okay Paddy, when you come back I'll tell you everything, you need to know anyway, I can't put it off any longer."

Paddy nodded. "I won't be long."

Hazel watched him go, she knew she had to tell Paddy and she had to tell Bob, but the boys, she couldn't tell them yet. She wanted them to enjoy their honeymoon, they deserved it after everything they had been through in the past months. She picked all the paperwork up and took it upstairs out of the way, she was going over to the café to tell Bob, she couldn't not tell him, he'd been a good friend to her and she knew he wouldn't tell anyone…not yet anyway.

A&J

It was just after midday when Paddy returned and when he found Hazel sat in the living room he knew it was the perfect opportunity to have their conversation.

"Let's talk," said Paddy as he sat beside Hazel on the sofa.

Hazel swallowed. "Okay, a few weeks ago I started noticing something wasn't right with me, so I went to see the doctor and he referred me to the hospital. Those times when I said I was going shopping….well I was having some tests done. I got the results last week and it wasn't good news."

Paddy could tell that this wasn't going to be good. "Hazel, what's wrong with you?"

"It's cancer," said Hazel watching Paddy's reaction.

"What…oh god Hazel, I'm so sorry," said Paddy taking her hand, "why didn't you say anything sooner."

"I couldn't Paddy, I didn't want to spoil their big day…and I don't want to spoil their honeymoon."

"Where…where."

"Bowel cancer, I'm booked in for the operation on Wednesday then I will be having chemotherapy."

"Who else knows?" asked Paddy trying to let the information sink in, Hazel had cancer.

"I told Bob earlier, so it's just you and him now, and I want to keep it that way."

"But Hazel…" said Paddy just as he hear the front door go and Jackson shout.

"Paddy, don't say anything please," said Hazel as the boys came into the room.

"Were back," said Aaron as they both put their bags down on the floor. Paddy and Hazel got up and hugged their sons.

"Well if it isn't Mr & Mr Walsh," said Paddy with a smile.

"Sound's good doesn't it," said Aaron put his arm around Jackson.

"Did you have a good night…no, no don't answer that," said Hazel with a smirk.

"Thanks for breakfast mum, it was great."

"Not a problem, couldn't have my boys going hungry could I." Hazel said as they moved into the kitchen. She looked at Paddy praying that he didn't say anything to the boys, it was important to her that they had a good time on their honeymoon and not be worrying about her. When they got back they would find out everything then and she just hoped that they would understand why she didn't tell them and not hate her.

"What's for lunch?" asked Aaron.

"I swear to god all you think about is food," said his dad laughing.

"Not the only thing," whispered Aaron in Jackson's ear, which earned a punch on the shoulder from his husband.

Over lunch they discussed the honeymoon. "Have you got everything?" asked Hazel.

"Nearly," said Jackson, "we've just got to nip into town tomorrow to get a few bits."

"I could get them for you if you want," said Hazel wanting something to do to keep her mind off her impending hospital visit.

"Your alright mum, we've got time."

"Make sure you don't get any call outs Tuesday morning dad, we need to be at the airport for five," said Aaron filling his mouth with food again.

"The time is imprinted in my brain," said Paddy, "I'll get you there, don't worry." Paddy looked at Hazel, then at Jackson and Aaron. The boys are not going to be happy when they find out that they have been keeping something as important as Hazel's illness from them, he only hoped that they would forgive them.

A&J

Monday 5th March

"You don't have to come with me, I only have to pick up a few things," said Jackson as he put on his shoes.

"Are you sure you don't mind," said Aaron sitting down on the bed beside him, "I could go and see Adam, not seen him since the wedding."

Jackson kissed him, "course I don't mind, I'm a big boy you know, I can got into town all on my own, I can even catch a bus without ya."

"Ha..ha, very funny," said Aaron

"Right, that's me ready," Jackson said getting up, "see you later Mr Walsh," he said kissing Aaron.

"I'm never going to get tired of hearing that," said Aaron kissing him back.

"Say hi to Adam for me and I'll see him when we get back."

"Will do," said Aaron as Jackson went out the door and ran down the stairs.

A&J

Hazel and Paddy heard the feet on the stairs then the door open. "See you later mum," she heard Jackson shout.

"Bye," she shouted from the living room. Thinking that both boys had gone out Paddy and Hazel continued their conversation from yesterday.

"Hazel I've been thinking about this all night and you have to tell them."

"I can't," said Hazel, "they're so happy at the moment, they've just got married and they're going on their honeymoon tomorrow, have you seen how happy they are. I don't want to spoil it for them," she said as tears ran down her cheeks.

Paddy took her hand, "they would want to know, do you think they would actually be bothered about missing their honeymoon, those boys think the world of you and I'm telling you they would want to know."

A&J

Aaron who had finished getting ready to go and see Adam, was now in the kitchen, he heard his mum and dad in the next room and was about to walk in when he heard his dad tell his mum that she had to tell them. "Tell us what?" he thought. He quietly walked towards the door and stood listening.

A&J

"Promise me Paddy that you won't say anything, those two boys are my life and I don't want them worrying about me."

"They're going to find out when they come back, how do I explain to them when I pick them up from the airport that you are in hospital," said Paddy with frustration.

A&J

"Hospital," Aaron thought, "oh god." He wanted to go into the room and find out what the hell was going on, but he couldn't, he needed to see Jackson first.

A&J

"I'll deal with that then, but for now please, keep it to yourself."

Paddy nodded reluctantly. "Okay, I'll not say anything for now," Hazel was about to thank him but he help up his hand, "but if I feel the situation warrants it I will tell them."

Hazel looked at Paddy knowing that she wouldn't change his mind. "Okay, thanks Paddy."

A&J

Aaron heard them both get up, so he quickly turned round and headed upstairs so they wouldn't see him. He had to see Jackson, he needed to see Jackson, Jackson would know what to do. His mind was racing, what was wrong with Hazel.

Nearly two hours later and Aaron was still laid on the bed in the same position as he first got on it after overhearing his parents conversation. His head was hurting, he was going crazy thinking of what could be wrong, he was scared and afraid and he really needed his husband right now.

It had to be something serious that was wrong with Hazel or she would just tell them if it was routine. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't here the door open and someone say his name. He felt a hand on his face and looked up to see Jackson stood over him looking at him with concern. "You alright?" he asked.

"I don't know," he said giving Jackson a weak smile.

Jackson sat down on the side of the bed. "Tell me what's wrong."

Aaron sat up and pulled Jackson into a hug. "I don't know how."

"Aaron, your scaring me," said Jackson pulling back and looking into the eyes of his husband.

"I heard something today," he said pulling Jackson back into the hug.

"Heard what?" he asked rubbing Aaron's back comfortingly, "please Aaron tell me."

"It's…it's about mum," Jackson's eyes widened and he pulled Aaron out of the embrace.

"Tell me Aaron, what did you hear."

Aaron looked down and took Jackson's hands in his. "I..I heard them talking."

"Who?"

"Mum and dad, and I heard mum tell dad not to tell us something and then they mentioned going into hospital," Aaron looked up and saw Jackson looking at him with his mouth open. He shook his head, "mum would tell me if something was wrong."

"I heard her say that she didn't want to spoil our honeymoon. I'm scared Jackson," Aaron said with tears flowing.

Jackson lifted his hands and wiped Aaron's tears. "Me too babe, but I've got to know what's going on," he said getting up and walking to the door.

"Come on," Jackson said when he noticed that Aaron wasn't following him.

"It might be better if you talk to her on your own, she's your mum," said Aaron.

"Hey," said Jackson walking towards him, "she's your mum too," he held out his hand and Aaron took it and let himself be pulled up. "Let's go get some answers."
