Cain Dingle stood in the garage, as he watched Aaron come in from the sunny forecourt, "loverboy on his way is he..." Cain asked, chewing his gum, Aaron nodded and kept eyeing up the bag in his uncle's grasp, "is...is that them then...", Cain pulled a smile as he saw Jackson come running over from Dale view, " yep...", Jackson came hurrying to their side in the garage, "got yah text..." he told, Cain held out the brown paper bag in front of them, Jackson glanced at Aaron and took it from Cain's grasp, and peered inside...he then pulled out two UK passports...he opened the first one...it was his face...with a different name...different date of birth...different everything...Aaron's was the same, "Danny...you've GOT to be kidding..." Aaron whined, Jackson knew the seriousness of this, but had to smirk, as Aaron whined further, " I'm gonna be named after you Ex...", Jackson turned, "I'm sure it will grow on yah...", Aaron snatched Jackson's fake passport and saw his name was Marc, " you DON'T even look like a Marc..." he told,Jackson shrugged, " I'm sure it will GROW on me...", Cain shook his head, " look, listen here you pair of twats...you're really ARE gonna have to buck up if you are really going to go through with this...you're need a passport photo for the kid...", Jackson snatched back the fake passports, and stuffed them back into the brown paper bag, " leave that to me..."
Cain folded his arms and glared at them, " So...you've paid for the fake passports what's next...what's your plan...", Aaron looked clueless and glanced to Jackson for guidence, he shrugged, " well...we...well I AM gonna stake out Jack's new school...to see what time playtime is...you know...when I go do it...", Cain slanted his head, " and then what cleverclogs...", Jackson looked up, "What do yah me...", Cain pressed him, " well...you've gone and snatched the kid, where then...what happens next...", Jackson pulled his eyebrowes together, " WE GET THE HELL OUTTA THERE...", Cain widened his eyes, "I SHOULD THINK SO...BUT WHERE...WHERE ARE YOU GONNA GO..", Aaron could see Cain was winding up Jackson and stepped in, " look...we are still talking about it...", Cain glanced from Aaron back to Jackson, " THINKING ABOUT IT...when are you gonna snatch him...when he turns 10..."
"COURSE NOT!" cried Jackson, " we are spending the week in Skiathos remember...we're settle all our planning there...", Cain shook his head at them, " YOU PAIR HAVE NO IDEA DO YAH...look...I'll COME UP with something...just leave the planning with me...but the FIRST thing is...is WHERE yah gonna go...we sort THAT out first...YOU..." he pointed to Jackson, "IS there any of yah builders mates you can trust...AND I mean YOU CAN TRUST...", Jackson nodded, " yeah, I think so why...", Cain smiled at him, " Because you're need a job bonzo...smiler here can get a job later...so...think on...and I'm thinking Tenerife...or Spain...somewhere where you can disappear...", Aaron swallowed...Jackson felt the unsure vibes he gave, he knew them because HE felt them too deep down, not not wanting Cain to pick up on them Jackson smiled, " I'll get yah a passport photo for Jack...and let me know how much MORE I owe yah..."
Later that afternoon, both Aaron and Jackson laid upon their bed staring at the ceiling...they said nowt, only heard Hazel clangering around in the kitchen downstairs, Aaron turned his head on the pillow, " me minds mashed over this...",there was a nervousness in his tone..."please don't be mad at me...", Jackson clasped Aaron's hand into his own, " Mad at you...never..." after biting his lip he turned his own head and faced Aaron...their eyes gazing into eachother, " it's a BIG thing Aaron...BIGGER than I thought...my heads mashed to...Cain's really opened up me eyes...", Aaron shook his head, " Jackson...please...you are not gonna give up...", Jackson smiled at him, " COURSE NOT...I'm just gonna have to be patient...THIS may take longer to plan than I imagined...",
"What's gonna take longer to plan..." said Hazel, peering her head through the doorway, Jackson sat up frowning at her, " ARE YOU DOING A BETTY...", Hazel nodded, " Nooo...just came up to tell you Sarah's here...with Jack, she's just pulled up in a cab...", Jackson's scowl brightened to a grin, and he jumped off the bed heading to the stairs, Aaron was in hot pursuit.
Sarah entered Dale head with little Jack, Hazel was already pinching Jack's little cheeks, "HELLO MY LITTLE DARLING...", Hazel then smothered the poor lad with wet kisses...what would snatching Jack away to her...she adored her grandson...he tried to sahe away the feeling as Jack came tearing over to him...Jack gripped him so hard, the poor lad wouldn't let go, " hello little man, you missed yah old dad a...", Jack shook his head and kissed his dad's cheek, " i missed you very loads...", Jackson kissed his son, " I missed you to son...AND YOUR Uncle Aaron's missed you as well..." he put his mouth to Jack's ear, " why don't you go and give him lots of wet kisses like Nana does to you..." he smirked, putting the lad down, Jack bolted to Aaron, and as the mechanic knelt a knee down to greet him, Jack's hands flew around Aaron's neck and he attacked him with a smothering of wet kisses, " AWWW get off..." cried Aaron playfully.
Jackson turned to Hazel, " GO and make a brew will yah...", Hazel sensed her son wanted to be alone wth Sarah, and nodded to the kitchen, " I'll go make a brew shall I...", Sarah nodded a smile to her, Jackson pulled her out onto the doorstep, " SO...WHAT'S going on...was it YOUR idea or JEFF'S...", Sarah looked up to him, " what do you mean...look if this is about last night..."
"COURSE IT IS...you delibertatly kept Jack away from me...ALL I wanted was 5 minutes...", Sarah felt bad for him, " I know...look Jack's got a new routine now...I don't want it disrupted"
Jackson's mouth gaped in disbelief, " WHAT...like it was disrupted when you WENT TO SPAIN...and then when HE was settled here...you DISRUPTED his routine again...what difference would of it made a...NOWT,that's what...", Sarah bit her lip, and pulled her hair behind her ears, " look...Jeff's having a really bad time at work...HE'S under a lot of pressure...". Jackson was shaking his head in yet more disbelief, " WHO CARES...WHAT'S THAT got to do with me...", Sarah pulled the door so it shut out the lounge, " it's effect on Jack...he's being playing up lately...Jeff doesn't like the pressure...", Jackson had her full attention, "what ARE you trying to say...", Hazel then was opening the door on them, " tea's up..." she chirped, Sarah smiled at her, grateful for the interruption...but Jackson was seething, just as Sarah went inside, he glared at his mother, " THANKS FOR THAT MUM..."
Sarah and Jack had been around Dale head for a couple of hours, and Jackson was in his element spenting time with his son...Aaron would join in to,leaving Hazel to entertain Sarah...although Sarah would NEVER keep her eyes off Jack...Jackson had just finished playing a round of car racing on the X box with Jack, when he turned to his son, " blimey you're red...you must be roasting up like a chicken in that jumper...come here..." just as Jackson stood and went to pull off the boys jersey, Sarah was up on her feet raising her voice, "COME ON JACK...it's time we were off...", Jackson looked up at her, "what...", Aaron, who was lying on the floor sat up, " but it's ONLY been a couple of hours..."
"Jack's got school tomorrow..." told Sarah...then there was a knock on the door, Hazel stood up and answered it...and all turned to see Jeff enter, " ONLY ME..." he said with a cheerful laugh, Sarah glared at him, "Jeff...I did say...I'll get a cab here and back...what's the point of having a brother in the cab business and not take advantage of it..." she told in jest, Jeff smiled, " I wanted to come...how are you Jackson...Aaron...", both of the boys glanced at eachother, Aaron politely smiled at him with amn acknowledgement, Jackson stuffed his hands in his pockets, " alright Jeff..." he returned with a forced smile, Jeff looked down to little Jack, " hello YOU...has you been behaving...", Jack grabbed his dads hand for comfort, "He's been a good as gold" Hazel chipped in, " we LOVE having him..."
Jackson looked down to his son, " Oh well...time for you to go home then...", Jack's face fell and he became clingy to Jackson, " come on little man...lets get yah coat...", Hazel watched Jackson put the coat on his son, " he's REALLY growing up now...bet he's out growing all his things...shame he doesn't have a little brother..." she sighed.
Jeff smiled and placed a hand around Sarah, " oh...you not said owt Sarah...", Sarah looked annoyed with her husband, " now's NOT the time..."
"Oh bollix to all that..." he faced them all, " Sarah's pregnant...Jack's gonna have a new brother or sister..."
