As Aarons pregnancy progressed, the morning sickness subsided and as his stomach became rounder and heavier he felt the realisation of parenthood getting closer and closer. He also occasionally felt paranoid about he looked and he knew that Ross took the mic out of him when his back was turned but he wasn't bothered about him.
Aaron was looking outside the window and could see Adam and Robert talking with Victoria standing behind him. Aaron raised his eyebrows, he always believed that Robert and Adam hated each other but they seemed to be having a friendly chat. Aaron shrugged it off and headed downstairs and made himself a coffee and could see that Paddy and Chas had been sending him constant text messages and he laughed to himself. Bless their cotton socks, being all concerned about him. He sat at the table and drank his coffee when Robert came in,
"Should you be drinking coffee?" he asked and Aaron smiled,
"Caffeine wont harm the baby Robert, the midwife said that at our last antenatal." Aaron reminded him and Robert nodded as if he remembered before he kissed Aaron on the head and sat down with him.
"I saw you with Adam this morning. What were you talking about?" He asked as he drank his coffee and Robert grinned,
"Ah that's for me to know and you to find out." He said cheekily and Aaron looked at him.
"No funny business whatever you do." He said in a low voice and Robert grinned again and kissed him, knowing that Aaron would love what he had planned for him.
A week passed and Aaron and Robert had an antenatal appointment at the doctors surgery with the midwife. The Midwife, a friendly woman with dark blonde hair and a large waistline, smiled at them as they came through the door,
"Hello Mr Dingle and Mr Sugden take a seat." She said as they sat down.
Throughout the consultation, Aaron kept a firm grip on Roberts hand as the midwife discussed the caesarean section and Robert knew that Aaron was nervous about the idea of the procedure and as they headed back to the car, Robert spoke,
"There's no need to be nervous about the birth, Ill be with you every step of the way you know that." Aaron looked at Robert and smiled at little as they drove away but Robert wasn't driving home, he was driving to the woolpack.
"Why we coming here?" he asked and Robert grinned to himself as he parked outside the woolpack. He took him by the hand and headed inside with him.
Inside the woolpack was decorated in gold and silver decorations with people popping party poppers as Aaron walked through the door, music was playing in the background and Aaron was looking at everyone and Robert in utter amazement,
"Oh Robert this is amazing!" He exclaimed then he saw Robert was on his knee.
"Aaron Dingle, my little grease monkey, will you marry me?" he said softly and Aaron looked at him with tears in his eyes and said softly,
"Yeah." He said and as everyone cheered, Aaron kissed Robert long and hard as wolf whistles echoed across the room.
