DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN EMMERDALE OR IT'S CHARACTERS...THEY BELONG TO ITV1

A/N: Thanks for the reviews...THEY ARE ALL SO APPRECIATED! and again for the kind words...it's just I have read SO much post Jackson stories and it just 'seemed to me' it's the way to go...SORRY if I annoyed anyone...

OK, Maybe I'm was in a bleak mood yesterday...today I'm not too bad, considering what was on tonight...I'm sad...but not upset...in a funny way it was very sweet, and I'm glad Aaron did it, a final declaration of his love for him... and no mother should kill their only child...anyway I promised a happy chapter and here it is...I'll be the first to confess I am not good at writing mushy...and hope what I have written is convincing...you judge...MARK xx

CHAPTER: 8

Aaron Livesy just laid there looking at Jackson sleeping...he smiled to himself...it was 7am, and in exactly 8 hours time they be wed...Aaron wasn't a traditionalist...and nor was Jackson...there was no bad luck sleeping together before there big day...they JUST wanted to be together...besides sleeping alone would have felt wierd, it was different when Jackson was working away for days on end...that was just how it was...but last night and what they were doing today, Aaron didn't want to leave Jackson's side.

Aaron reached across and brushed Jackson's beard growth, and smiled when Jackson twtched his nose and grunted slightly...Aaron felt naughty and reached under the covers and gave something else a little stroke, Jackson opened one eye, and grinned widely, " OI Livesy!..we can't be doing that now...that's for after...", Aaron retreathed his hand and nestled his head into Jackson's shoulder, " I'm abit nervous..." he admitted, Jackson shook his head," me to...to be honest...but...", he turned to him,"it's something we both WANT isn't it..."

Aaron nodded knowing exactly what he ment, " I'm NOT perfect you know..." he then snapped his head around, " right...we better go get Jack from Lisa's...then we better start getting ready sunshine..."

Aaron and Jackson collected Jack from wishing well cottage...but were stalled by Zac, " he's been a right little gem...but Lisa would like a little word with yahs like...", Jackson and Aaron glanced at each other, " oh...what's he done...", Zac lead thenm both inside and saw a cooked breakfast waiting for them on the table, Lisa put her hands together, " we couldn't let YOU TWO starve!, with all that rushing around to come today..."

Jack jumped up and down, " and I helped daddy...I buttered the bread" he excitedly informed, he pulled his father to his place at the table, of course both Aaron and Jackson had really bad butterflies in their stomaches, and really couldn't face it, but as always Jackson was beaming a polite smile and turned to Aaron rubbing his hands, " well come on Livesy...lets be eating it before it gets cold!", Aaron felt sick and sat down at the table, Zak and Lisa took their places, "come on lad get it down yah..." told Zac...Aaron smiled and began to reluctantly eat...

After breakfast Aaron and Jackson bade Zac and Lisa a see you in a bit, and hurried back over to Dale head...after parking the van, Aaron clutched his stomach, and wiggled in his seat, Jackson turned pulling a frown, " what's with you NOW!"

" I'm dying for a POO!"

"THANKS FOR THAT!" sniffed Jackson, little Jack held his nose, " poooooo...uncle Aaron's done a BIG fart!", Aaron glared at the little boy, " leave off you squirt!...but I'll tell you what THAT bog is not gonna know what's hit it!"

Jackson held his hands to Jacks ears "just GO please!...before you SHIT yah pants..." cried Jackson hurrying him...Aaron grabbed his keys and ran what seem like 100 miles an hour into Dale head, Jackson smirked...his belly churned as well...maybe they REALLY shouldn't have had that fry up!

Over at the Woolpack, Hazel was inspecting the table arrangements, she smiled to himself then it faded to a grimace when she heard Chas walk in with Diane, " thanks Diane...you've done a really cracking job..they're gonna love it...", Hazel rolled her eyes, Chas glared at her, "WHAT..."

"Nothing..." told Hazel, Chas shhok her head at her, " no Hazel it's not nowt...it's something...you've been a right cow to me all morning...it's not my fault you've got yahself a hangover from last night!", Diane felt uncomfortable and made for the bar, " i'm just gonna see if Marlons made a start on the food shall I..."

Both Hazel and Chas weren't listening...it was handbags at dawn again..." nah...it's NO hangover...YOU were the one practically breaking them up last night!" accused Hazel, Chas was open mouthed, " flaming cheek...it was YOU who accused MY Aaron of seeing another bloke!"

" I never!...I was only just sorta saying..." began Hazel, but Chas pointed her finger, " you're got to learn to keep that trap shut lady"...

"Oi OI OI OI !"came Jackson's voice as he came in the pub, " I've come here for a spot inspection and the peasents are revolting!", Hazel turned and hurried up to her son, " we are not revolting...it's just...banter...anyway what you want...I bet I know what you would like..."

Jackson smiled, widening his eyes, " and what's that!"

"a nice greasy fry up!" Hazel said placing her hands on his arms, ", Jackson's grin faded...he could feel the vomit about to rise from his gut, " I need the bog...NOW!" he raced into the gents, door swinging closed behind him, Chas smirked at her, " hey...I'm glad I haven't let YOU loose in mmy kitchen,,,if THAT'S the reaction to your cooking!", Hazel just glared at her, and discreetly moved Chas's seating card futher down the table...as far away from where she was sitting the better!

At 1 o clock, Aaron and Jackson were in their bedroom at Dale head, and both sat on the bed in their posh pressed trousers, posh shiney shoes...and nicely ironed shirts, " I'm crap with ties..."told Jackson, " I never wear them...", Aaron pulled him a face, " are you suggesting I'm a expert...", both clutched their ties as Jackson was shaking his head laughing, " nah, I guess you're not...you can't tie yout own shoe laces!", Aaron playfully hit his arm, Jackson looked up, "maybe we should have gone for elasticated ones!" he mused, "well it's too late now!" told Aaron, both mulled on it, then glancing at eachother with a big smile, they both said together, "Paddy!"

When 2 o clock came, a black limo pulled up beside Dale head...it was Chas totting across mainstreet in her heels and hat that saw it first, " what the hells that thing!" she cried in disbelief pointing, Debbie came out her house with Cain, " dad said he knew of a mate, who could do him a cheep deal on a limo...to get them there in style...", Chas turned as Cain stood in his suit at the gate, " and WHO is this mate..."

"he's an undertaker" told Debbie, glaring at her father, Cain just cheekily hinted a smirk, "well black goes with your Aaron's moods doesn't it!"

Chas laughed, she did see the funny side, then Hazel was beside them holding hands with Jack, dressed up in a posh frock and hat, " blimey whos died!" she laughed, both Chas and Cain glared at her, Hazel realised what it was, " oh great...thanks...this car is really gonna set the mood for the day hey."

"ohhhh...stop yah moaning will yah Hazel" told Chas and crouched down to little Jack dressed in a mini suit , "awwww...you look very smart don't", Hazel smiled, " he does doesn't he...just like Jackson did...it's Jackson's...but don't tell him...he thinks I threw this out years ago...he's got to look smart for his dads day..."

Chas stood up, " and Aaron's..."

"yeah...that's what I ment...", both then turned to see Aaron and Jackson standing there gaping at the limo, both had frowns on their faces...Chas hit Cain with her arm, " see! I told you..."

At the registry office a number of guests stood in the waiting area, Joe was Jackson's 'best man' ...well he had the rings... and Adam stood with Mia, Pearl was drifting about in her best outfit, while Paddy and Rhona sat glancing at their watches, Paddy then stood and peered out the bay window, " hey...I think they're here...everyone..."

Aaron and Jackson sat in the back of the limo...as Hazel, Chas and little Jack left them slamming the doors shut behind them, they sat in silence looking at eachother, " I'm really scared..."told Aaron, his blue eyes showing the way he felt, like that of a frightened puppy, Jackson grasped his hand gently, "not too late to back out you know...", Aaron nodded, " never...I've always said I don't do what I don't wanna do..."

"so you're sure..." whispered Jackson gently, Aaron nodded, " as sure as I'm going to be...it's just the thought of THEM in there staring at us...", Jackson's eyes smiled at him, " they're be staring at you...because you are so flaming fit Livesy...especially in that suit...", Aaron blushed and they quickly stole a gentle kiss on the lips, before Jackson pulled the cars door handle, " come on lad...before I walk out here with a hard on..." they jumped out the limo and slammed the door shut...everyone else had gone inside...

Jackson took Aaron's hand, and turned to him, " ready..." Aaron nodded with a smile, " good...then lets do this..."
