3 DAYS LATER...
Hazel Rhodes hurried across the village towards Dale view...she had received a call from Jackson that morning, to tell her that he and Aaron were bringing home little Jack that afternoon...and she had been given strict instructions to get the house ready for their arrival...the pair having been staying at a local B&B near the hospital in Leeds.
Letting herself in with her key, she rubbed her hands in excitement at the thought of her lovely grandson coming home...until she saw the state of the house...for Aaron and Jackson had practically up'ed and left to get to the hospital, after Sarah's initial call after the fire.
She glared at the beer bottles stuffed in the bin, and the pile of washing up, still in for soak...she huffed a sigh and picked up the pink marigolds, she raised her eyebrowes at the sight of them, "well...NOT exactly Aaron's colour..." she smirked to herself and started to hum a tune to herself...she'd have this joint tidy and sparkling in no time...
At the B&B in Leeds, Jackson walked out the shower with nothing but his complimentry fluffy dressing gown on...running across the landing he lept back into his and Aaron's room, Aaron was still dozing...Jackson smiled and quietly went up to the bed...then chucked his wet towels on to him, "WAKEY WAKEY...Jack'll be waiting!" he announced to him with a grin, Aaron lifted his head off the pillow, and tried to open his eyes, "I think we over did it last night with the celebrating..." he told with a thick head, Jackson was already drying himself down and rubbing his stomach, " I can't WAIT for another one of those fry ups...really starts the day for me.", Aaron reluctantly sat up and rubbed his eyes, " I'm sure that bacon was OFF yester-day, my belly was thinking it was on a rollercoaster last night..."
Jackson sighed and threw him a dry towel, " THEN it's hair of the dog then...another dose of THAT bacon might clear it up...AND...that cold shower in there will CERTAINLY clear yah head...it DID mine..."
Aaron grabbed the towel, and with a mimic, he headed up the landing to the shower room, Jackson sprayed himself, then pulled on a pair of boxers and a tee shirt, it was a knock at the door that made him look up, " I'm decent...well sort of...", Sarah put her head round the door, "ARE you sure...don't want Aaron getting the wrong idea...", Jackson shook his head at her, "WELL COME ON IN...don't let me get cold..." he quickly pulled on his jeans, Sarah sat on the unmade bed, " is this still okay...I mean...Can I still stay with you and Aaron...", Jackson rubbed up his hands and gelled up his curls, " COURSE IT IS...well it IS with me...Aaron's still got the hump with you mind...", Sarah shook her head, " that's understandable...considering how I let Jeff get away with mistreating our son...HIM and Jack are really close now...", Jackson smiled into the mirror at her, " THEY are...our Jack certainly LOVES his uncle Aaron..."
Sarah stood up, "well I better get packed...NOT that I've really got anything to pack...I've just got what I've got on really..." she said sadly, Jackson turned around and dug his hand into his back pocket and pulled out his wallet, " look take this..." he handed her 80 quid, " get yahself some clothes yeah...", Sarah was alittle taken back...Jackson was being TOO generous, she nodded to him, not taking the notes, " I can't take yah money Jackson, THAT'S Jeff's job...if I knew where he was...", Jackson's face hardened, " STUFF HIM...YOU stay away from him...YOU hear me...YOU are the mother of MY child...just take the money...", Sarah took it brushing Jackson's hand...and with a smile left the room...Jackson quickly looked to see how much money he had left...JUST as he thought, Aaron would have to chip in..!
Hazel HAD neen busy...after doing the mountain of washing up, she cleared the rubbish and hoovered about downstairs...Jackson hadn't said much about Jack's problems at home with Sarah and Jeff, just that Jeff had been mean to him...and he wasn't to come anywhere near Jack again...she didn't care though...to know TOO much might not be a good thing...little Jack would open up to them all adventurelly, she went to the stairs but was sidetracked by a knock at the door, on opening it, Chas and Paddy pushed their way in, Hazel turned, " IT'S all right you know...I have everything under control here..." she told, Chas gave the lounge and kitchen the once over with her eyes, " yes I Can SEE you've been busy...I thought you might want someone here to say YOU'VE missed abit..." she joked, Hazel shook her head at her, "Look...IF you want to help...you can get rid of that lot...", Hazel pointed to the pile of black bins bags, Chas shuddered at them, but Paddy came forward beaming his smile, "I'll do that...", he started shifting the bags, Chas clapped her hands together, " OHHHH thanks Paddy you are a star...", Hazel glared at her, but then had the perfect job in mind for her, she snatched up the pink marigolds from off the draining board, and threw them to her, "the bathroom needs a GOOD OLD SCRUB...YOU should be good at that...", she said while making her way up the stairs, Chas was agape..."WHAT...", Paddy then was back through the door, "DID YOU hear THAT Paddy...she's practically called me a scrubber..."Paddy shook his head, "I'm NOT getting involved...now what needs doing next..."
At the hospital, little Jack was waiting in a chair playing with his new transformers figures his father had bought him the day before, the nurse looked up as the doors opened, and Jackson came through with Sarah, " HELLO little man...you ready to go...", Jack jumped off the seat, and ran to his dad, Jackson picked him up for a cuddle, Sarah smiled at them...Aaron, who stood behind her, was glaring...not at Jackson and Jack...but toward Sarah...Jackson had allowed HER to stay with them...he wasn't happy about it...BUT...she was Jack's mum...and it was only right...just as long it was NOT for long..., Sarah turned to face him, "you were quiet in the cab over here...it's me isn't it...YOU don't want me staying with you...", Aaron shrugged his shoulders at her, "IT'S not my call, it's Jackson's...JUST...don't you get yahself TOO comfortable that's all..." he warned, Sarah bit her lip, and turned herself back to Jackson and Jack, " right shall we get you home..." she said, Aaron watched as Jackson and Sarah took each of the little lads hand into theirs, as they walked up the corridor, Aaron was adament...SHE wasn't gonna stay LONG...and take his place...
Meanwhile Hazel was clearing up Their bedroom at dale view, the duvet had been stuffed on the floor, she huffed a sigh and managed to refit it into it's clean cover, and place it back onto the bed, she then noticed the box beneath the bed...and their was a brown bag sticking out of it..."I don't know...THEM boys and their mess..." she said to herself, she snatched up the bag and looked into it...to see two passports...putting on a puzzled look she pulled one of the passports out and smiled, "awwwww...looks like THEY can go on honeymoon after all..."she told herself, then opening up the passport, she smiled at Jackson's face...until it faded...she had noticed the name...MARC HILL...she quickly snatched up the other passport and opened what would be Aaron's, on opening, like Jackson's, it clearly showed Aaron's mug...but also with a different name...DANIEL SMITH...
She dropped the passports back into the brown bag...she wanted to ask herself, what did this mean...BUT she...deep down...had already guessed what this had ment...
...and she didn't like it AT ALL...
