A/N: THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS...
Sarah was in the village cafe with Hazel, Bob served their coffees, " There you go ladies..." he said in his usual cheerful manner...Hazel thanked him and took a sip, "SO...you settled in a Jackson's..." she asked, Sarah nodded, "yeah...YOUR son is a gent...but...he always was wasn't he..."
Hazel patted Sarah's hand sympathetically, "AWWWWW...it's a pity he turned gay...you would have made a nice wife for him...well before you met THAT Jeff that is...", Sarah sighed. "Jeff was a mistake...4 years of my life wasted on that creep...WELL I'm glad Jackson never signed Jack over to him...HE was right ALL the time...", Hazel was agreeing with her, "WELL...I've always said MY boy has a good head on his shoulders...must take after me" she mused, Sarah bit her lip, " SO...him and Aaron are happy are they..." she asked casually, Hazel nodded, " yeah...well most of the time...they have their ups and downs like we all do...", Sarah took a sip of her own coffee, "oh...downs..."
Hazel nodded, " yeah...Aaron's is one of those lads who is abit insercure...MIND you can't blame him with his up bringing...", Sarah smiled at her, " Really...another coffee Hazel..."
"arrrrrrr" began Hazel glancing at her watch, " I could also treat you to a sticky bun..." enticed Sarah with a smile, Hazel lauged and waved her hand, " Ohhh GO on then you've twisted me arm..." Sarah went to the counter to place the order, she then sat back down, " right...you were saying...about Aaron..."
Aaron wiped the grease off his hands as Cain poked his head into the paper bag, " YOU want RID of them..." he asked, pulling out the fake passports, Aaron nodded his affirmation, Cain shook his head as he chewed on his gum, " DO you know WHAT trouble I went to by getting yous twos THEM...", Aaron rolled his eyes, " YES...but things are different now...because of the fire and all...WE are staying put...THOUGHT you would be happy..."
Cain shrugged his shoulders, " WELL...HOW do you know I haven't already lined up your replacement..." Aaron bit his lip...he wasn't sure if his uncle was winding him up or not, but Cain smiled, " COURSE I haven't...go on get yahself off...I'll see yah tomorrow..." Aaron smiled, and with out further word, he went...Cain WAS happy because Aaron was staying...deep down he did have a soft spot for his nephew...he just hoped everything worked well with him...
Aaron strolled across the garage forecourt and let himself into Dale head, he was in the middle of deciding WHAT to make Jackson for tea, when the woft of a cooking roast evaded his nostrils...he launched himself into the kitchen and snatched open the oven...a chicken joint was roasting away bubbling into it's juices...he slammed the oven door shut and stood up...and turned to see Hazel standing there, with a glass of wine, Aaron smiled and thumbed the cooker, " ARE YOU cooking us tea...cheers Hazel...", Hazel smiled at him, " I WISH I could take all the credit...but, no love...THIS is all Sarah's doing..."
Aaron's smile faded," really...", he pushed passed Hazel, "where IS she...", Hazel turned to him, " she took little Jack to the park...I'm minding he faught...", Aaron pulled her a face, "why didn't SHE ask me...",but before Hazel could answer he made for the stairs, "oh forget it...I'm having a shower...IF SHE wants to cook...LET her cook...saves ME slaving round the kitchen..."
Jackson got home just after 7, and Sarah was in the kitchen serving up the tea onto the plates, Jackson pulled off his muddy boots and rubbed his belly, " WOW...THAT smells good...", Sarah laughed as she made the most of being the domestic goddess, " just get yahself showered and cleaned off...it'll be on the table in 20 minutes...just waiting fot the spuds to roast...and I know HOW much you love crispy roasties...", Jackson raised his eyebrowes, "Can't wait..." he then went to go up the stairs, " better go see the LOVE of me life...", Sarah jumped forward, " hey...doesn't someone else come first...", Jackson looked at her...alittle taken aback..."your son..." she finished with a smile, Jackson slapped his forehead, "OHHH the little man...", he turned to see his son playing in the lounge, he went into say hello...and Sarah could hear Jack squeal in delight...they were like a family...a real family...well...she looked up the stairs...almost...
Aaron laid upon his bed listening to his iPOD, the thought of HER down there making Jackson his tea had angered him...but he wasn't going to rise to it...why should HE have to look like the bad guy.
His eyes were closed...he smiled as he listened to the music...then his eyes snapped open when a touch came down onto his shoulder, it was Jackson grinning at him, Aaron sat up and they kissed briefly, "why arn't you downstairs playing with Jack...you usually are..." asked Jackson...Aaron shrugged, " didn't want to be in the way...Sarah's GOT everything in control down there...", Jackson pushed Aaron on to the bed and then laid next to him, " Jackson YOU stink..." moaned Aaron turning up his nose, Jackson's grin threatened to cut his face in two, "THAT hasn't bothered you before...I'm just feeling extra horney...must be all this hot weather we've been having..."
Aaron slipped out of his embrace, "OR because someone else has caught your attention..." he mused, Jackson was still grinning...he knew it was Sarah he was going on about, he laid his hand onto Aaron's shoulder, " Hey...SHE'S just feeling like crap at the moment...with all this fire business and what Jeff was like to Jack...she's just being abit clingy at the moment..."
Aaron breathed a sigh out, " ABIT!...she's all over you like a rash...I'M REALLY biting me tongue here Jackson...", Jackson was now massaging Aaron's shoulders, "hey...I'll HAVE a word...I'll promise...", Aaron nodded, and Jackson jumped off the bed, " NOW...I'm getting what YOU mean...I DO stink...I'll just grab that shower..."
Tea was on the table...and as Aaron has suspected, Sarah had given the BEST of the meat cut to Jackson...infact...Jackson's plate was piled up...Aaron sat down and looked at his own meal...is that all...was what he he wanted to say but, " wow Sarah...this looks good...Jackson's gonna be over fed though...you're make him fat at this rate...", Sarah glanced at him then to Jackson who was tucking into his roasties, " HE'S been working up an appetite all day...and of WHAT i've seen of his body...he's ALL muscle..." she said in a teasing tone...
Aaron glared at her...but if SHE wanted to play games...he could too..." DON'T you think I don't know that...", he winked at Jackson, " It's me who's SNUGGLED up to him in bed at night...", Jackson raised his eyebrowes at him...and gave him his trademark wink...Sarah sat and started to cut up Jack's meat, " come on love...don't let it get cold...", she glared at Aaron...but he just sat there...tucking into his own meal...and smuggly pulled a smirk at her...
Later on Sarah was slaving away doing the washing up...as Jackson and Aaron were sat on the sofa watching TV, Jack was in between them...it was gone 9 and the little lad was falling alsleep, Aaron smiled, " hey little mate...time for you to get to bed...", Jackson agreed, "YEP...it's WAY passed yah bedtime little man...", Jack slipped off the sofa and Aaron took his hand...but Sarah was then there, "It's okay Aaron...I CAN manage..." she then led the lad up the stairs, " you can tuck him in after his bath..."
"I HATE BATHS..." moaned Jack stamping his feet, but Sarah had already dragged him upstairs...Aaron sat back down onto the sofa, "SEE!" he hissed waving his hand, "It's like I can't do owt...NEVER mind that I looked after her son while SHE swanned around in Spain with HIM!", Jackson placed his arm around him...and pulled him close to him, " hey...lets make the most of HER being upstairs shall we...", Jackson leaned in and kissed Aaron tenderly, but Aaron still wasn't finished with his little moan, " BUT...when IS she going...she has to at somepoint Jackson...", Jackson sighed at him, " I know...but...she's pretty upset still...and she feels guilty about waht's happened to Jack...AND she's pregnant...all this stress is NOT good for the baby..."
Aaron shook his head at him, " YEAH...but you're forgetting something...IT'S NOT your baby this time...it's HIS...Jeff's...LET him take care of them"
Jackson snapped his head round at him, " HE'S not coming anywhere near her...OR Jack!", Aaron nodded at him, " I'm NOT saying that...HE can pay...pay for her...to get a flat or something", Jackson sat back, " yeah...I know waht yah mean...I'm sorry..." Aaron took Jackson's hand into his own, " I SO WANT YOU IN ME..." Aaron hissed urgently, Jackson gazed up and him and smirked, " ohhh aye...I don't stink now do I...", Aaron pulled him up and they bolted up the stairs, Sarah has waiting by the airing cupboard...making herself LOOK busy, "Hey Jackson have you seen Jack's clean pJ's ", Jackson nodded and went to help her look, Aaron shook his head in disbelief and entered his bedroom...he jumped onto the bed...SHE HAD TO GO...
Jackson found the PJ'S and helped his son into them...then he tucked him in, Sarah smiled as she watched them, "do you want daddy to read you more of that comic..." she asked, Jack shook his head, "NOT daddy...HE can't do all the voices...I want uncle Aaron to read to me...", Jackson playfully put on a sad face, " awwwwww you don't want me...you're gonna make daddy cry..." he turned to Sarah who just stood in the doorway, " well GO ON then...go get Aaron...the little man wants his story...", Sarah bit her tongue and reluctantly went towards the bedroom, Aaron was lying back, " Jack...WANTS you to read to him...apparently you can do ALL the voices, " she said rather TOO nicely, Aaron jumped off the bed with a smug smirk to join Jackson and Jack in his son's bedroom...
once he was gone...Sarah looked toward Jackson's work's holdal, she made sure she wasn't seen then slipped off her panties...and stuffed them inside the bag...making sure Aaron would see them...Hazel had mentioned to her how insecure the poor lad was...LET'S see how insecure he was...and HOW strong their relationship really was...
