"it's official i'm old" aaron shouted as robert helped him into the house and handed him his crutches

"if you will tackle a 5 year old girl" robert laughed and aaron stared at him as robert handed him an ice pack

"it's not my fault i thought i could take her" he laughed as he held the ice pack to his ankle

"the doctor said it was from a previous injury so that is from quite a while back? i mean we're talking nearly 10 years ago" robert said shocked and sat next to him

"your mum says that willow hasn't stopped crying since we left for A&E" he said snuggling into aaron and kissing his arms which were exposed due to the white t-shirt he was wearing and robert started to kiss his scars which had now grown fainter over the years but they were still there almost like medals for winning the war that went on in his body aaron laughed as his husband placed the kisses gently

"we best go get her then" he said getting ready to move and robert stopped him

"i will go and get her" he exclaimed then wandered off to go and get his little girl from chas

"she's only just got to bed, i don't mind having her tonight? i mean give you two some alone time" chas asked as she loved having her granddaughter to stay the night

"oh my gosh would you do that? i mean are you sure?" robert asked and chas smiled and nodded she had warmed up to her son in law after all these years and had developed an understanding with him

"grab a bottle on me and go and look after my boy" chas smiled

"your boy is getting grey hairs" robert laughed and chas smiled a gentle smile and handed him a bottle of wine

"i shall buy him some just for men don't you worry" she said and robert left smiling and wandered off home.

"honey i'm home" he shouted and aaron laughed

"wheres will?" he asked worried

"she's staying at your mum's, she said she wouldn't stop crying and then she eventually went to sleep" robert explained and handed aaron a glass of wine

"also she sends her love with wine" he laughed and sat down next to aaron

"oh poor will, i'm fine i've been walking about on it" aaron told him and robert scolded him

"i was going to nurse you back to health" robert smiled and kissed him so gently and passionately

"oh well maybe i do feel a little delicate still" he laughed as robert began to straddle him
