He had not been this nervous when he asked Chrissie to marry him but now he felt like he was taking a whole family on two whole families technically, his chat with paddy went okay

"So you want to ask him to marry you?" Paddy asked

"Yeah, I was going to do it all nice and romantically but it didn't feel right not telling the others" he explained

"And Chas?" Paddy asked

"I wanted to see what you said first" he added

"Right I see no problem you've been going steady for 2 years and he seems to be in the best state of mind that I've seen for a very long time so yeah, you've got my blessing" he smiled and shook Roberts sweaty Palm

Chas on the other hand was a little harder

Chas and Cain sat on one side of the table in the kitchen and Robert the other side

"Hang on you want to marry Aaron?" Cain asked shocked

"Yeah I love him and I want to spend the rest of my life with him" he explained nervously

"Right I need you to promise me that you will treat my boy as best as you can and that he won't come to me upset or heartbroken that you've gone off and had an affair again or I will personally see to it that you won't have anything to have an affair with" she said forcefully

"I understand that and I won't ever hurt him, I've never felt like this before ever about anyone" he explained to them both

"Right I need you Robert to promise me that you will make sure that my nephew will never feel like he has no other way than to hurt himself and that you will protect him and not let any harm come to him" Cain almost begged

"I promise I love him and I want to be with him" he explained and after a long pause

"Right yes you can marry him please just look after my boy" Chas begged and gave Robert a reluctant hug Cain shook his hand and Robert went about planning his proposal .

Robert had explained to Chrissie that he was planning to marry Aaron and she was beyond supportive she knew that it must be hard to be stuck in a relationship and not feeling like he belonged

"Can I help you with anything else at all?" She asked him and he shook his head

"I can't think of anything thank you for being so understanding" he thanked Chrissie and she smiled

"It's okay I just had to get over the initial shock but I wish you all the best" she added and he thanked her gave her a hug and left to set his plan into motion.
