More weeks past and Aarons was almost in his second trimester, it had been a rocky road as his morning sickness had started again and this was no fun for neither Aaron nor Robert. Liv also often complained that Aaron stunk out the bathroom which caused Aaron to recoil in embarrassment.

Finally the morning sickness subsided and Aaron returned to working with Adam, occasionally he and Robert would have moments of fun in the porta cabins like old times as Aaron remembered so fondly. Aaron grinned as Adam grinned at him,

"Gonna have a cheeky half hour later? Don't think I don't know what happens in the porta cabins."

Aaron raised his eyebrows as he passed him a cup mug of tea before helping clear away the scrap surrounding them.

"Hey Daddy or Mummy should I say?" It was Ross who was followed by Pete, the two brothers came over to Aaron who wanted to hide away,

"Look just leave it yeah?" He said in an annoyed tone of voice and Ross grinned,

"oh dear are the hormones kicking in already? Or is it just you in general? Kicking off like a child throwing its toys out of the pram? How you gonna cope with a new baby?" He asked, trying to wind Aaron up further. Aaron felt his fist clenching, what if he couldn't cope with the new baby? What if its constant cries for attention make him so angry that he took out his frustrations out on the infant? The thought was unbearable.

Suddenly, he felt a twinge in his stomach and doubled over causing Adam to run over and rub his back,

"Aaron what is it?" He asked trying to offer comfort and Aaron shook his head,

"My stomach! its hurting!" he shouted through the pain and Adam took him towards his car, scowling at Ross as he did, Ross realised that he had gone too far,

"You happy now?" Pete hissed at him as the brothers watched the car leave the scrapyard.

Robert was working on some paperwork in the woolpack when Adam rushed in,

"Robert you need to get to the hospital. Aarons in a bad way!" He shouted and Chas and Paddy immediately joined Robert as they raced to the hospital, fearing the absolute worst.

When they arrived at the hospital, Liv was already there, having bunked off school to be with her brother. Robert kissed Aarons forehead and held his hand as a tearful Aaron said,

"The baby is gone, I know it is."

Robert kissed his hand, tears falling as the doctor came in.

"Hello Mr Dingle. I have your results." He said and everyone braced themselves for the news.

"Remarkably, your baby is fine. Stress may have contributed to the pain in the abdomen but your baby is absolutely fine and I can reveal what you are having if you want." He added with a smile and Aaron and Robert nodded then the Doctor added fondly,

"Your to have a baby girl."

Chas and Paddy hugged each other, Liv looked proudly at her brother who was carrying her soon to be niece and Aaron cried with happiness as did Robert as they embraced each other.

Aaron put his hand to his stomach and smiled at it.

"Don't worry sweetheart. When you arrive Ill be the best parent that you could ever hope to have." He whispered.
