FA 6
Hey, just to say that if some words said by aiden are not spelt right, then thats meant to be like that for him learning to speak.
Robin had still not been to see Aiden and it was well over a week now since his last visit. In truth she was quite angry with him. Aiden needed him, depended on him andhe had let him down and hurt him. And she didn't like anyone who hurt her son.
'Aiden baby. You want to go and see grandpa today?' Marian asked.
Aiden nodded as Marian got his jacket for him and helped him on with it.
'Come on then. Lets get you to the car.' Marian smiled as she lifted her son into his seat and buckled him in and began driving to her dad's.
RHRHRHRHRHRH
'Allan you bugger come here!' Emma shouted as she walked out of the bathroom and ran down the stairs.
'Again. Already. God you keep me fit.' Allan smirked as he rubbed his hands and stood from the couch.
'You keep your wee man in your trousers. I don't want him coming near me again.' Emma shouted.
'Wee? You obviously need your eyes checked.' Allan scoffed.
'The only big thing about it, is the mess its made.' Emma snapped pointing at his crotch.
'What are you on about?' Allan asked confused as he walked into the kitchen.
Emma followed him and took a knife from the stand. 'Come here am going to castrate you.' Emma said.
Allan turned to her in a state of shock and worry. He covered crotch area with his hands. 'But then what would I have to offer all the ladies.' He shrieked.
'Oh don't worry i'm sure that they will fall for your undying love and witty charm.' Emma mocked.
'I ain't being funny right, but what a case of pmt you get.' Allan scoffed.
'Allan this isn't funny.' Emma sighed as she walked towards Allan with the knife making him jump the bunker and run to the other side of the kitchen.
'Stay away from with that.' Allan said pointing to the knife. 'Besides I think you would need a bigger knife for me.' He smirked.
Emma shrieked and began running over to him, shouting as she started chasing him around the kitchen.
'Allan this isn't funny.' Emma sighed as she threw the knife in the sink making Allan jump.
'What's not funny, I don't know whats going on, you just started shouting at me with a knife like some mad serial dick killer banshee.' Allan stated.
'Allan...i'm pregnant.' Emma sighed as she sat down on the kitchen stool.
RHRHRHRHRHRH
'Hey whats my favourite grandchild doing here?' Edward smiled as Aiden toddled into the living room.
'He's your only grandchild dad.' Marian smiled as she walked in behind him.
'So that means he has to be my favourite.' Edward smiled as he kissed his daughter on the cheek. 'What brings you here today? I was not expecting you.'
'Robin has not been to see him yet and he was feeling down so I thought I would bring him here for a little while.' Marian explained as she watched her son take out a toy car.
'Well you know that you are welcome at any time. And I am sure Robin will come around soon.' Edward tried to reasure his daughter.
'Yeah I hope so. I just jkeep thinking that when his new baby comes, that he will forget all about Aiden.' Marian sighed.
'That would never happen. He loves that child to much.' Edward smiled.
RHRHRHRHRHRH
'Pregnant?' Allan repeated for what seem like the tenth time.
'Yes Allan pregnant.' Emma rolled her eyes.
'Like.' Allan said mimicking a large tummy with his hands and pretending to woddle.
'Do you want me to hurt you?' Emma warned.
'I'm just trying to understand.' Allan explained to her like she was a child.
'I can't believe that..thing did this to me.' She said indicating her head to his groin.
'Well you know what they say. Great things come in large packages.' Allan smirked looking down also.
'Actually Allan. It great things come in small packages.' Emma snorted emphasising on small. Allan looked extremely confused.
'But my mama always told me-
'Allan stop right there before you get your mother arrested.' Emma shouted putting her hands up to stop him.
'You know your going to get fat.' Allan stated.
Emma shot him a glare. 'Is that a problem for you?'
'No, but I thought that you may not like it, you know not being able to fit into your tight jeans and your ancles are going to get so big you'll have to wear clown shoes.' He smirked and ducked as Emma threw an apple at him.
'Allan if I get fat then that just means that i'll be the same weight as you.' Emma mocked smiling.
'Hey there is only one part of me that could be called fat, but that's a good thing.' He winked as he leaned on the cooker.
'Oh yeah. Well eh fatso your ass is on fire.' Emma smirked.
Allan frowned and turned around to see that he had clicked the cooker on when he had leaned on it and the bottom of his shirt was not on fire. 'Oh my god put it out!' He shouted as he began running around the kitchen. 'I know i'm hot but this is just a joke.' He roared as he ran past the sink but then froze and ran back putting the cold what tap on and sat in the sink. He sighed in relief when the fire was put out and glared at Emma who was kneeling on the floor in tears of laughter.
RHRHRHRHRHRH
Marian sat on the sun lounger next to her father as they spoke about Robin. Aiden had gotten a bit grumpy and had started throwing his toys about so she had put him up for a nap half an hour ago.
'Marian my dear it will be fine. Everything will work out. Robin just needs to get his head sorted.' Edward smiled.
'Yeah I know that. And in truth it doesn't bother me, its just the effect that its having on Aiden. He doesn't know why Robin isn't here and he missed him.' Marian sighed.
'Aiden will be fine love. You'll see.'
The entire garden and house was soon filled with the shattering screams of crying.
'Aiden.' Marian shouted and jumped from the chair running into the house with Edward falling. Marian gasped when she found Aiden at the bottom of the stairs crying frantically.
'Aiden.' She whispered as she gathered him in her arms and tried to calm him.
'What happened?' Edward asked as he appeared.
'He fell down the stairs.' Marian winced as she rocked her son who was still crying.
His face was bright red as he gasped for breath from crying as tears rolled down his cheeks.
'Shh baby its OK.' She whispered.
'Daddy.' Aiden cried. 'Want daddy.'
'I know honey but daddy's not here.' Marian said as she looked at her father.
'Did you hurt yourself?' Marian asked as she pulled Aiden away from her shoulder to look at his face.
'Turt head.' Aiden wailed.
Marian winced as she felt a bump on his head and kissed it. 'There kissed it better.' She smiled as she took him outside to the sun lounger. She lay back with Aiden laying on her chest he sniffed and shook slightly as he calmed and got his breath back as he sucked his thumb.
'Pool.' He said pointing to the water.
'You want to go in the pool?' Marian asked. He nodded. 'Come on then lets get your shorts on.' Marian smiled as Aiden stood and took Marian's hand as she led him into the house.
'Now Aiden remember you have not to go past this line.' Marian instructed him as she pulled the long float line across into the shallow end away from the deep end.
Aiden nodded as he stood and spalshed in the water.
'Dad can you watch him a sec am going to go and make him some lunch?' Marian asked.
'Of course.' Edward smiled.
Marian was in the kitchen making him a small salad. She smiled as she watched him out of the window trying to soak Edward. He was just as cocky as his father. She picked at the tomatoes as she made the salad and moaned when the juice poured all over her top.
'Juice.' Aiden shouted to Edward.
'Drink.OK then. Stay at the side of the pool then.' Edward smiled as he played with his blow up ball.
'He wanted something to drink. What happened to you?' Edward asked as he walked into the kitchen.
'I squirted tomato juice all down me.' Marian laughed as she tried to wipe it off.
'That might stain.' Edward said as he opened the fridge.
'I know.' Marian winced.
'What is he allowed to drink?'
'Eh. Not orange juice hes had an upset stomach lately.' Marian said.
'Apple it is then.' Edward smiled taking the carton out the fridge.
Marian nodded and went back to finishing his lunch.
'Dad?' She asked.
'Yes.'
'Did you take Aiden out of the pool?' Marian asked as she stretched to look more out of the window.
'No he was at the edge when I left why?' Edward asked walking over to the window, but before he could reach it Marian had already dashed from the kitchen.
'Aiden' She screamed as she ran to the edge of the pool to see her son under the water and face down floating so lifeless. A second had not passed before she dived into the water and gathered her son in her arms. She surfaced carrying his body as Edward ran from the house.
'Marian.' He gasped as he kneeled at the side of the pool and tried to take Aiden from her. He pulled him onto the ground as Marian hoisted herself out of the pool.
'He's not breathing.' Edward said in fear as he lifted his ear from Aiden's mouth.
'Call an ambulance.' Marian shouted.
Edward got to his feet and dashed into the house.
'Baby.' Marian cried as she took Aiden's head in her hands. 'Please baby wake up.' She cried. 'I'm so sorry I never protected you but it won't happen again if you come back. Please.' She begged.
RHRHRHRHRHRH
Everyone was at the hospital apart from Robin who was on his way. Marian was sat with a towel wrapped around her still wet form. She was shaking, but unsure whether it was from the cold water or that fact that her son was in surgery fighting for his life. Edward had his arm around her and kept telling her that everything was going to be OK. But when your infant son was in major surgery to empty his lungs that was not the definate sign of things being OK.
'There is no way my son will be able to fit into one of those nappies. He will need an extra large one to accommodate him.' Allan said as he looked through the glass to the room filled with new born babies.
Emma turned and looked at Allan and smacked him over the head causing him to bang his head off the glass and wake one of the babies.
'See look what you did. Some mother your going to be.' Allan stated.
'Allan your best friends baby is here fighting for his life and all you can do is make jokes.' Emma bit.
'I'm just trying tp lighten the situation.' Allan shrugged.
'Don't' Emma said as she wiped the tears away once more.
'Hey come here.' Allan said softly as he pulled her into his arms. 'He'll be OK. He's got Robin and Marian's genes. He'll be doing this to scare the hell outta us and then he'll be fine like Robin does, and as far as Marian's genes he'll be to stubborn to give up.' Allan whispered.
Emma chucked into his shirt as it began to get soaked with her tears. 'I know. I'm just worried that's all.' Emma whispered as she hugged him tightly.
'Robin.' Marian said standing as Robin barged through the hosptial doors with Stephanie following.
'Where is he?' Robin demanded.
'He's still in theatre.' Edward explained.
'Why weren't you watching him!? Where was his mother.' Robin shouted outraged.
'She was there. Unlike his father.' Marian snapped angry herself.
'You should have been watching him.' Robin said.
'It was I that was watching him Robin. I left him for only a moment to get him a drink.' Edward explained.
'A moment to late.' Robin bit as he walked by them with Stephanie walking behind him.
'He'll come around. He's just worried.' Djaq said as she and Will appeared back from getting coffee and witnessed the scene.
'He has a right to be angry. I may have killed his son.' Marian said as she dropped the towel and walked away.
Robin was sat with Stephanie around the corner from where Marian was sat, he could not stand to be around her now. The tension was to strong. He saw her walk around the corner her eyes puffy and red and guilt attacked him. He should not have shouted or blamed her. She was just as scared and frightened and worried as he was.
'I'll be right back.' Robin said to Stephanie and walked in the direction Marian had just gone.
He found her standing in the corridor, her body shaking as her hand covered her face.
'Marian.' He said as she looked up to him he walked straight to her and gathered her in his arms.
'I'm so sorry Robin.' She sobbed.
'Shh. Its ok.' He whispered into her hair. He looked around and realised that everyone was watching them. 'Come on.' He said as he saw the cuboard next to them and took her inside it. It appeared to be the janitors closet with the amount of brooms and mops it held.
'Marian I am sorry I should not have snapped at you. I was just so scared.' Robin explained.
'I bore him Robin. And now I may have been the one to kill him.' Marian sobbed.
'No you haven't.' Robin said pulling her back into his arms. 'He's going to be fine.'
'I love him so much.' She whispered.
'I know I love him to...and you.' Robin whispered.
Marian pulled back and looked into Robin's eyes. Those eyes gave her so much hope. Just one look at those eyes and she believe that everything would be alright. Robin cupped her face in his hands as he gazed at her tear stained but beautiful face. Slowly he lowered his head as she cupped his hands with her own and raised hers and their lips met in a long awaited and desperate passionate kiss.
