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

My Aunt had bowel cancer and she went through it almost the same as I wrote Hazel's. She had part of her bowel taken away then had chemo to prevent the cancer from returning and she is now in full recovery. My Aunt is a wonderful person and very much like Hazel, confident and funny, and she has proven that cancer can be beaten.

Just a little warning: there's a bedroom scene with Jackson & Aaron, they deserve abit of loving.

A week later and Aaron was home and he was doing really well after his bout of pneumonia. Jackson, Paddy and Hazel were keeping a good eye on him and they had made sure he had taken it easy for the first couple of days he was at home. Paddy had been over protective with Aaron, trying to make up for what had happened, but Aaron had told him that he didn't need to be with him all the time, just be his dad.

It was now Monday morning and Jackson had woken up at seven and he'd gone straight in the shower, he had a job starting today and they really needed the money so he couldn't turn it down. He didn't want to leave Aaron but he knew he would be fine with his mum and Paddy around. Walking back into the bedroom he saw Aaron sat on the edge of the bed and it looked like he was getting dressed.

"What ya doing?" asked Jackson pulling off his towel then putting on a pair of boxer shorts, "you getting up to make me breakfast?" he picked up his work trousers and put them on.

"As if," Aaron said walking to Jackson and gave him a quick kiss on the lips, "morning."

Jackson zipped his trousers up then touched Aaron's arm. "What's going on?"

Aaron sighed knowing that Jackson wasn't going to be happy about what he said next. "I'm going to work." Jackson was about to say something but Aaron didn't give him the chance. "I'm fine, Jackson…I'm ready to go back."

"Aaron…"

"Come on, you know Cain will only let me do light stuff anyway," he walked towards the wardrobe, "I'm going to work," he got his overalls out and turned back to face his husband.

Jackson didn't look happy. "Fine," he said walking towards the door. Aaron moved quickly and stopped Jackson leaving by grabbing his arm and turning him around. "Jackson please don't be like this, I don't want to fall out."

Jackson looked into the blue eyes that could always make him go weak at the knees. "You can't blame me for being worried," he said taking Aaron's hand.

Aaron squeezed the hand that held his. "I promise you that I won't do anything too strenuous and I will come home if I think I've had enough," he pulled Jackson towards him and kissed him on the lips while wrapping his arms around him. Jackson accepted the kiss and their tongues met fighting for dominance before Aaron pulled away. "I've got to get ready," he said kissing Jackson lightly again.

Jackson smiled and put his hand on Aaron's cheek. "Be careful, I don't think I could handle anything else happening to you." Aaron put his hand over Jackson's. "I'm fine Jackson."

Jackson's phone rang and still looking at Aaron he answer it. "Hello, Jackson Walsh…hello…hello," Jackson looked at the phone and turned it off but he continued staring at the phone.

"What is it?" asked Aaron as he started to put on his overalls. Jackson put the phone back in his pocket. "Not sure, I've had a few phone calls where there was no one there, it's…..no it's probably just someone whose getting the wrong number."

Aaron was now ready for work. "Probably," he said, "but if it keeps happening more and more, let me know."

"I will, now be sure to do as little as possible," Jackson said as he took Aaron's hand and they walked out of the bedroom and down the stairs.

A&J

Six weeks later

He was getting more and more agitated the more he saw their perfect little life, he watched the coming's and going's of the gays as they walked together and laughed together. It was all getting too much for him, he had to do something, and sooner rather than later. He had discovered that after having chemotherapy, Hazel had now recovered and was starting to get around more, and at this moment he watched as she came out of the Woolpack with Bob and they gays, they were laughing and looking as if they had had a good night out. He couldn't remember the last time he had laughed with joy and had some fun, his wife had left him and took his son with her to another part of the country, probably to get as far away from him as possible. Now he was living in a bedsit in a seedy part of town, stacking shelves from midnight till six, six days a week. He was going to destroy them and make them feel like he was feeling right now. He stayed were he was until he watched them walk into Smithy cottage then started the car and drove off.

A&J

"Stop it," said Hazel as she got up from the sofa.

"Stop what!" Aaron said following her into the kitchen, "I'm only commenting on how many times you've been out with Bob lately."

"Bob and I are good friends," Hazel said as she put her coat on and checked her hair in the mirror.

"Friends!" said Aaron with a smirk.

Hazel turned and looked at him. "Okay, he's a very good friend," she said, "and that's all I'm saying."

Aaron walked towards her. "Mum after everything that you've been through lately, I'm just glad that you've got a 'special friend'." he said smirking.

There was a knock at the door. "That must be your 'special friend'," said Aaron walking towards the door, "hi Bob," he said showing him in. "mum's ready and waiting."

"Aaron," said Hazel, "behave."

"What's going on?" asked Bob looking between Aaron and Hazel.

"Oh nothing, except Aaron trying to be funny," Hazel said looking at her son who was laughing, "where's Jackson anyway?" she asked.

"He shouldn't be long, he rang and said the job was overrunning."

"Well, we'll see you in the Woolpack later," she said giving Aaron a hug, "come on Bob."

"Have a good time, and don't do…"

"Don't you dare say it kiddo," Hazel said glaring at Aaron, but seeing the look on his face she smiled. "Love you."

"Bye mum."

A&J

"Oh god Jackson, you make me so horny," Aaron said as Jackson was kissing him while they started to undress each other. Aaron moaned as Jackson's hand slid into his boxers and started to rub his already hard erection. They moved over to the bed and Jackson pulled Aaron down onto it never breaking contact with each other.

Jackson had got home from work only a few minutes ago and hoping to get a quick shower and then go the Woolpack with Aaron for a nice juicy steak, but Aaron had walked into the bedroom as Jackson was getting undressed and now they were on their bed both wanting each other.

"What do you want me to do?" asked Jackson as he slowly wanked his husband teasingly. "You know what I want," Aaron said sticking his tongue in Jackson's mouth seeking out his, Jackson pulled away. "Tell me what you want," he said again as he took his hand off Aaron's cock, Aaron groaned at the loss of contact because he knew was so close to completion.

"I want you inside me," he said as he grabbed Jackson's head and brought their lips crashing together as Jackson felt for the bedside drawer, opened it and took out the lube. Breaking from the kiss, Jackson sat back and squeezed some lube onto his hand then rubbed it onto his rock hard member, he was going to rub some onto Aaron's entrance but he was stopped by Aaron's hand. "Do me Jackson, do me now."

"You sure?"

Aaron nodded and moved so Jackson would find it easier. Jackson moved the tip of his cock to Aaron's entrance and slowly pushed inside, relishing the feel of Aaron's tight hole. Aaron gasped and Jackson was going to stop but Aaron put his hands on Jackson's hips and pulled him towards him until Jackson was fully inside him. Jackson loved the feeling of being inside his husband and he started to move slowly at first until Aaron started to moan and Jackson knew he had him, he picked up the pace and he felt himself getting close.

"Faster Jackson, oh god faster," said Aaron pulling Jackson in for a kiss before Jackson started to pound into him ever faster.

"Aaarggh," moaned Jackson, "I'm nearly there," he said feeling the eruption that was about to happen, "oh god I'm gonna cum," he closed his eyes and thrust one last time as he filled Aaron with his hot cum. He collapsed on top of Aaron who put his arms around him and kissed him on the forehead. "That was fantastic," he said, "but I'm a little unfinished here," he said pointing at his still hard cock. Jackson smiled and pulled slowly out of Aaron then put his hand around Aaron's cock and started to toss him off, he knew Aaron was close when he started bucking into his hand and then he was cumming, shooting his spunk all over Jackson's stomach. "That's so damn sexy," said Jackson licking his fingers then kissing Aaron who was still getting his breath back.

"I hope I never get tired of this," Aaron said wrapping his arm around Jackson who laid his head on Aaron's chest. "God I'm so hungry, I could eat a horse."

Jackson laughed. "How about one of Marlon's steaks, I'm afraid that's the best I can offer."

"Sounds good to me," Aaron said leaning down and kissing Jackson, "dad's already there and mum said she and Bob would pop in later." Jackson didn't say anything and Aaron pulled him away from him so he could look at Jackson. "What?" he asked.

"Do you really think that Mum and Bob are together," he said pulling a face, "as in together."

"Your asking me if mum and Bob are having sex?" Aaron asked sitting up, not wanting that image in his head.

"They're adults Aaron….I don't know, it's just weird mum going out with some when she's living with me. I know she's been with people since Jerry but always when she's been on her travels and not when she's been home with me. What if they get married."

"Don't you like Bob?"

Jackson moved and sat on the edge of the bed. "Course I like him."

Aaron sat beside him. "Your just not sure about having him as your step dad." Jackson shrugged.

"As long as mum is happy, it's fine by me," Aaron said.

Jackson hung his head and laughed. "Yeah me too, I'm just talking stupid, it's her life." Aaron put his arm around Jackson and pulled him into him. "How about we get a shower, then get ourselves over to the pub before I starve to death." Jackson kissed Aaron then pulled him up and they went into the bathroom.

A&J

It was gone ten by the time Hazel and Bob walked into the Woolpack, Hazel immediately made her way over to the table that contained Jackson, Aaron and Paddy and sat down whilst Bob went to the bar and ordered some drinks.

"Good time?" asked Paddy.

"Yeah thanks, went to a lovely new Italian that's opened up in Hotten. I'd recommend it," she said.

"Thought you might have got a hotel room for the night," smirked Aaron as he dodged his mother's hand.

"What have I told you young man," Hazel said as she tried to hit her son on the arm.

"Jackson will you tell YOUR mum to stop trying to hit me," Aaron said looking at Jackson.

"Oh, so she's only my mum now is she," Jackson said laughing.

"Leave you mother alone," said Paddy who had been watching the exchange, he was really happy for Hazel, but a pang of regret ran through him thinking of what he could have had if Kathy hadn't done the dirty on him.

Aaron noticed the look on his dad's face. "You alright dad?"

Paddy looked at his son and smiled. "Yeah, I'm fine, but I'm gonna get off, I've got an early start in the morning," he said getting up. They watched as Paddy walked out of the Woolpack, all of them feeling for him.

A&J

An hour later and the four of them left the pub, Hazel and Bob were walking up front while Aaron and Jackson were walking slowly behind them with their arms around each other. They'd had a really good night and were so glad that everything was finally getting back to normal.

Hazel and Bob were crossing the top road in front of the Smithy when they heard the roar of an engine and the screech of tyres.
