Later on. Niamh and Joe are getting ready to go out for Chloe's birthday dinner. Joe has started to pick up on Niamh acting slightly different.

"Niamhy? Need a hand?" Joe says as she is trying to get a necklace on.

She nods and Joe walks over to help her, Niamh holds her hair up and Joe secures the necklace around her neck and smiles. "You look lovely" he smiles.

"Thanks" Niamh smiles.

She looks herself up and down in the mirror with her skirt and crop top on and some sandals, "is it too much?" she asks.

"It's enough" he smiles as he holds her around the waist.

"Are you sure?" she asks.

"If we were alone I'd say less clothes but you seriously look gorgeous babe" he smiles.

Niamh giggles and smiles at him as he kisses her cheek. "Love you" he smiles as he inhales her perfume.

Niamh smiles a little and walks over to Matthew, Joe smiles as he watches her "doesn't he look smart?" Joe says and Niamh nods.

Joe sits down and puts his shoes on and watches her closely. "Are you okay?" he pipes up.

She nods and brushes her hair behind her ears before lifting Matthew up. "You seem very quiet?" he says.

"Just tired" Niamh mumbles.

"Early night tonight then for going home tomorrow eh?" Joe suggests.

She nods "we go back at eleven and the flight is at half past" Niamh says.

"Are you sure that's all that's bothering you?" he asks as she sits next to him on the bed and puts his arm around her wais.

"I'm fine, god sake Joe anyone would think your paranoid" Niamh huffs.

"Well yes I am actually, you don't seem yourself" he admits.

"I'm fine" she mumbles.

"Right thats good" Joe says.
Niamh smiles and walks downstairs with Matthew.

"We're ready to go when you are" Niamh smiles to her mum as she goes to the kitchen.

"Chloe doesn't feel too good but she says she still up for going" Barbara says.

Niamh nods and lies Matthew down in his pram and buckles him in. Matthew starts to kick off which Joe notices starts to stress Niamh a little.

"Hey hey hey, Matty" Niamh soothes.

"Niamh it's been a while since you fed him?" Joe says and She nods.

"We're waiting on Chlo anyway pumpkin" Barbara says as she lifts Matthew out and heads through to the lounge, Niamh sits down and feeds him.

"Easy Matthew" Niamh huffs.

Joe looks over at Niamh, he sees that she has tears in her eyes. "Are you okay Niamhy?" Joe asks.

She bites her lip and fights back the tears and nods. "I'm fine" she mutters.

"Don't cry" he says as he wipes her cheek as he wipes the single tear away.

"What's up sweetie?" he asks.

"Ohh" she mumbles.

Joe realises she knows there's something up and hugs her while she feeds Matthew, "ohh what? So there something up" Joe says.
Niamh just sits there not knowing what to say "You know you can always talk to me babe" he smiles.

"Yes I know" she snaps.

"What's up?" He says again hoping she'll reply.

"Just feeling a little on edge" Niamh says
