Robert (played by Ryan Hawley) has been faced with the news that Seb’s mother Rebecca White (Emily Head) has decided to leave Emmerdale – and take the baby with her.
And while Aaron (Danny Miller) found it difficult to come to terms with the fact that his husband had a baby with Rebecca, he has trouble saying goodbye too.
When he finds out Robert decided to let Rebecca take the baby with her, Aaron is hurt not to have been included in the decision.
The couple have been co-parenting Seb ever since they took him in full time due to Rebecca’s memory problems, but Robert choosing to let the little lad go without talking to Aaron suggests that he doesn’t consider his husband as a full part of the team.
Feeling terrible, Robert is then left stunned when Aaron suggests they look into surrogacy and have a baby of their own.
He plays along, but as Aaron excitedly goes to tell his mum, Chas, all about their plans, Rob stops him and Aaron quickly realises his husband isn’t on board with the baby idea.
Aaron takes his frustrations out one of the only ways he knows how – with his fists – by smashing up a car at the scrap yard.
Wanting to make amends, Rob surprises his hubby with a visit from Seb, and the family throw an early birthday party for the tot. Aaron is then given the task of taking the baby back to Rebecca.

But he’s not going to make it.
After Liv makes a comment about keeping Seb, it gets Aaron thinking. He watches on as Robert says goodbye and then drives away with the little boy.
Robert will get a worried phone call later in the evening from Rebecca to say that Aaron and Seb never showed up.
Has Aaron done a runner with his step-son? Or is something darker going on?
Emmerdale airs Monday to Friday at 7pm with an extra episode on Thursday at 7pm on ITV.
