I DO NOT OWN EMMERDALE OR IT'S CHARACTERS, THEY ALL BELONG TO ITV1
A/N: THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS...the bunny boiling scheming cow is still AT IT!
PS: answer to Cathy's question, the 'pants' incident is something that HAS happened to Jackson in the past...and he used it as an excuse to cover up Matts plot...so he generally did think it was his workmates who did it and not Sarah...hope that's come across how it should! lol xx
Aaron Livesy wiped his hands with the oily rag and chucked it to one side, Cain came over to him, " hey YOU, it's gone 6...you not going home or what...", Aaron pulled a frown at him, "EXCUSE ME!...YOU moan at me when I go early to lunch...and now you are moaning at me for doing abit of overtime...", Cain nodded, "yeah...BUT...the thing IS smiler...I never offered you owt...", Aaron started to climb out of his overalls, "oh whatever...", Cain folded his arms, a knowing smile started to spread across his face, " trouble in paradise is there...loverboy and you had a row have yah..." Aaron glanced at him...but didn't say owt, " I'm right arnt I..." smiled Cain, Aaron stomped off toward the forecourt, " JUST LEAVE OFF CAIN..." Cain watched him stomp up to the door of Dale head...he glanced at Cain once...then with his key let himself inside...
Sarah was in the kitchen making the tea, Aaron glowered at her, as SHE had her back to him at the stove...but he was going to be nice, "so...WHAT are yah making us...", Sarah turned and faced him, " SPAG BOG...another one of Jackson's favourites..." she told, Aaron shrugged, "Nah...he went off THAT las year...but...I'll tell you what...", he went over and dipped his oily finger into the pot, "IT'S my favourite...cheers Sarah..." she said with a smirk...knowing it was annoying her, Sarah waved her hand at him, " OI...you just stuck yah dirty finger in that...THAT finger could have allsorts on it...", Aaron winked at her, "errrrr...yep" he then went up stairs to have a shower...
Jackson drove up his van, and parked it outside the Woolie, he jumped out and nipped inside the pub...and then made his way to the bar, Chas came to serve him, " ALRIGHT love...all calmed down now then...", she teased with a smile, Jackson pulled a face...but then remembered the embarrassing incident earlier that day, " yeah...ahem...SELL us some of yah lagers will yah...I've nowt in and...I need to cheer Aaron up...",Chas was snatching up the bottles for him, " oh dear...WHAT have yah done...", Jackson paid for them, and quickly placed the beers into a plastic carrier bag, " I'm gonna take him out tonight...AND you don't wanna know what I did wrong...but he did...", Chas gave him a smile, " well good luck love...and IF my Aaron's anything like me...you're be kept sweating a while longer..."
Aaron was in the lounge playing little Jack on the XBOX...as Sarah came in she saw the soldier fight on the TV screen, " AARON...THAT games abit violent!..." she cried, Aaron looked up to her, "NO IT'S NOT...he loves it...IT'S NOT an 18 you know...", Sarah shook her head and sat down, "well...looks like a takeout tonight...the spag bogs in the bin...", Aaron looked up, "oh...it LOOKED tasty to me...", Sarah glared at him, "yeah...but it's not fair to everyone else if you're the only one eating it...", Aaron smirked as he held his gameplayer, "so...you treating us then...what do yah think little mate..." asked Aaron ruffling the lads hair, " Pizza or fish and chips..."
Sarah nodded, " let's just SEE what Jackons wants when he gets in, shall we...", at at that moment Jackson came through the door, the first thing he did...was to search for Aaron's whereabouts...and he saw him in the lounge sitting with Jack, "hiya..." he called out, removing his boots...Aaron grunted something unaudible...Sarah smiled...she had been watching earlier...she KNEW that something had happened between them...some disagreement...
Sarah stood and came over to him, " tea's ruined...I was gonna do a spag bog...but Aaron says you went off it...", Jackson shrugged at her, " well...IF it's there I'll eat it...not fussed me...", Sarah glared at Aaron, who couldn't help but smirk...Jackson went up to him and placed a hand onto his shoulder, " hey...YOU still not talking to me...", Aaron throw his controller down and went and disappeared up the stairs...Sarah raised her eyebrowes, "YOU TWO okay...you haven't rowed have yah...", Jackson shook his head at her, " no...should we of..."he then followed Aaron up the stairs.
Aaron laid on the bed as Jackson came in...he shut the door and sat on the bed...Aaron was deliberately facing the other way, " Aaron...I'm sorry...", Aaron didn't move...just the silence...
" Aaron...please...what can I say...I'm a pratt...I lost track of time...I was..."
"HERE...you were here Jackson...with HER!", Aaron sneered...still facing the other way, Jackson slowly stroked Aaron's leg, " I know...Sarah said about her moving out...with Jack...I said she could stay...longer I mean...", Aaron finally turned around, " WHAT...and you said SHE could stay...SHE needs to go Jackson..." spat Aaron, Jackson shook his head, " NO AARON...SHE is NOT taking my son too far away...SHE can't afford anywhere round here..."
Aaron sat up, " GREAT...so you and HER can continue to play happy families will yah...", Jackson pulled a frown at him, " and WHAT'S THAT supposed to mean!", Aaron jumped off the bed and headed to the door, Jackson grabbed his arm, " AARON..." he hissed, Aaron shrugged...his blue eyes searching Jackson's brown ones, " you and her...and Jack...you're a family...it's been nearly two weeks now...and SHE is taking over...I...I feel like...", Jackson shook his head...eyebrowes still knotted together, " WHAT!...what do yah feel like..."
"THE FLAMING LODGER!", he then shook out of Jackson's grip, and bolted out...before Jackson got to the landing, he heard the front door slam shut...he came down the stairs hands to his cheeks in despair...Sarah came out from the lounge, " WHERE'S he gone...I thought we were all having a takeout...Jacks's getting hungry..." Jackson stared at the door...but then focused his gaze onto his son, " i'm HUNGRY DADDY!...can we have PIZZA...", Jackson pulled a smile at him, and pulled out his phone, " COURSE YOU CAN...I'll order them...usual yeah...", Jack was now jumping up and down rubbing his belly, " make mine extra spice pleassseee...", Jackson ruffled his son's hair...", Sarah smiled and turned, "oh well Aaron's missing out...that's a pizza...for three then..." she told...and a big smile spread across her face...
Jackson ordered the pizzas, but he couldn't help thinking about Aaron...
Aaron had his hands in his pockets...he stared at dale head from the village bench...he felt miserable...ALL he wanted was Jackson to himself...but SHE was always there...now Jackson had said SHE can stay longer...he understood he didn't want Jack to go...HE didn't want Jack to go...but surely there had to be a solution to all this...he stood up and decided to see if Adam was around...he just wanted to get bladdered...forget HER for this evening at least...
Jackson watched as Sarah threw the empty Pizza packaging in the bin...she washed her hands and turned, " right lets get Jack to bed shall we..." she could see Jackson was miserable as sin, she sighed, " LOOK...if HE wants to act like a child let him...IF he didn't want to join us for pizza it's HIS loss...", she rubbed his arm sympathetically...
But Sarah was in for a surprize, " It's NOT working sarah...YOU being here...", Sarah swallowed nervously, "what..."
"Aaron told me...he feels like the lodger...and he's right...there's US playing happy family's with Jack...and he's...he feels left out..." Sarah shrugged her shoulders, " THEN I take that place in Hotten...end of..." she the them went to put Jack to bed, Jackson grabbed her, "NO...THAT'S NOT what I mean...", Sarah looked up, " What then..."
" I'm booking YOU and the little man into the B&B...for now...until we can find you something perminent...", Sarah scoffed at him, " I CAN'T afford THEIR prices...", Jackson smiled at her, " YOU won't need to...I'll foot the bill...IT'LL work...YOU and Jack will still be in the village...and Aaron won't be mad at me anymore..."
Sarah nodded, " okay...IF that's what you want..."
Jackson tried to get hold of Aaron again on his mobile, "it is...don't worry Sarah...it'll all work out for the best..." he then walked into the lounge as he got Aaron's voicemail again, " AARON...it's me again...please come home yeah...I'm such a pratt...just come home and do what you will to me...
Sarah pulled Jack up the stairs to bed...those words of Jackson's...it'll all work out for the best...repeating over and over in her mind...
"BEST FOR AARON..." she hissed to herself...as Jack jumped onto his bed, he turned to his mum, " mummy...do we have to move out...I heard you and Daddy talk..."
Sarah pulled him into a reassuring hug, " NO son...I promise you...we are staying...I'M not the one who will be moving out..."
