Around thirty minutes later Niamh is read and they are about to leave the house. "Do we need the buggy?" she asks as she still has no idea where they are going.

"Yep... I'll get the other one out" Joe says as he goes under the stairs.

Niamh gives Matthew a baffled look, Matthew raises his hand and puts his on her face. "Oi cheeky" Niamh laughs as she tickles his tummy.

Matthew leans forwards against her chest and giggles. He starts to babble to Joe as he seems him walking towards them, Joe puts the pram up and Niamh sits him in it, "big boys pram" Niamh coos.

"Here have your teddy bear" Niamh laughs as he is babbling away happily.

Niamh smiles happily at Matthew as he smiles up at her. "Right then...lead the way because I'm rather curious" Niamh giggles as she smiles at Joe.

Joe helps Niamh get Matthew out the house. She takes his free hand as he is pushing the buggy.

"Gonna put your sunnies on" Raf laughs.

Niamh laughs at him and does put her sunglasses on as it is a rather warm day. "Also give us a bit of privacy today it will" Joe smiles.

Niamh laughs, "so where are we going?" she asks.

"Tube station" Joe says.

"To go where?" she asks as she seems to be getting nothing out of him.

"We're only going to watch the tubes babe" he laughs.

She punches him playfully, "come on tell me! I really want to know" she giggles.

"You're not getting anything out of me" Joe teases.

"Oh I hate you!" she giggles.

"No you don't" Joe laughs.

They head down into the tube station and wait for it. They head down into the tube station and wait for it. Once the tube arrives they get on and Niamh starts to catch on to where they are going.

"So Joe...are we going shopping in London?" she smiles but she's actually wrong.

"No... Don't you think you've got enough clothes" he teases.

"Oh okay" she says.

A few minutes later they get off the tube and Niamh knows for sure where they are going. "The Zoo?" she asks.

"Yes we're taking Matthew back to his real parents" Joe smirks.

"Joe that's terrible" Niamh Laughs.

"What you said he was a monkey... So I'll just hang him over the edge by his grow and see if one of them monkeys claim him" Joe teases.

"Oh my little cutie what's daddy saying about you?" she coos.

Matthew gurgles and smiles at Niamh, "Will we put you in with the monkeys you rascal?" Joe laughs.

Niamh looks at Matthew who's looking at joe. "Don't listen to your daddy, he's only being silly" Niamh laughs.

Joe laughs as they get to the entrance, "This is so cute, especially on my birthday" she smiles as she finds going to the Zoo such a great idea for them all.

"It's something we can do all together" Joe smiles.

Niamh nods, "that's why it's such a nice idea" she smiles.

Joe takes her hand and he pushes the pram with his one hand. Niamh smiles and the start to walk to London Zoo.

Once at the zoo they start to walk around, Matthew seems to be rather agitated and starts to cry.

"Oh no darling... Don't start" Niamh says.

He wriggles around and little and kicks his legs as Niamh and Joe stop and sit down to try and sort him out.

"Hungry?" Joe suggests.

"He can't be he had a full bottle over an hour ago" Niamh says.

Niamh gets him out of the buggy and sits him on her knee and cuddles him for a bit. "Alright sweetie" Niamh says as she lifts her sunglasses onto her head.

She gives her his dummy and he puts it in his mouth and starts to settle as Niamh cuddles him.

"See look it's mummy" Niamh smiles.

Joe laughs, "wanting mummy's attention" he says.

Niamh kisses Matthews head before standing back up with him and carries him.

"Shall I carry you?" she laughs, Matthew smiles and holds onto Niamh tightly.

He grabs hold of her top and holds a handful of it in his hand, "Careful" Niamh laughs.

He babbles a little and blows raspberries at her as they walk round, "Mummy comfort today I see son" Joe smiles as he's really clingy to Niamh.

Niamh smiles, "look what's that" she says.

Matthew looks over to where Niamh is pointing and he looks at the lion a bit confused. "That's a lion" Niamh says as she talks to him, "It's a big lion Matty" Niamh coos.

Matthew smiles at Niamh, she bounces him and kisses his head. They walk on a little further to see the seals and penguins.

Matthew is fascinated by the Penguins as black and white colours appeal to babies for his age more. He kicks his legs and waves his arms about and squeals as he likes the noise they make.

"Oh aren't you noisy" Joe laughs.

"Aw look Matty they are being fed" Niamh coos. He starts to tug on her hair and kicks his legs frantically as he likes the sound the penguins are making.

Niamh smiles at her and kisses his head, "I can take him for a bit if you like?" Joe smiles.

"Yes please my arms are aching a little" Niamh smiles.

She passes him to Joe, but he doesn't let go of her top and hair. "Joe stop... He's still got my hair" Niamh says.

"Oi, give mummy her hair back" he laughs as he tries to ungrip his hand from her hair.

"Come on Daddy wants a cuddle" Niamh says as she manages to free her hair.

Matthew squeals as she frees her hair, Joe holds Matthew and Niamh stretches her arms out. "Oh you're a heavy boy" Niamh coos.

Joe laughs I know he is, "he's big now, not the tiny Matthew we had around six months ago" Joe smiles.
