It's during the night and Niamh has woken with a banging headache, a temperature and an awful sore throat. She moves Matthew over to Joe more as he didn't like his own bed; and she gets up out of bed.

Matthew whimpers and rolls over and rolls against Joe. Niamh paces the bedroom and decides to go to the toilet and run cold water over her face as she is sweating.

She sits on the side of the bath for ages and starts to feel a little faint so sits on the floor.

She hears Matthew starting to waken as she had made him stir. Niamh stands up and goes through to the bedroom.

Niamh stands up and goes through to the bedroom. She sees Joe up with Matthew who is crying.

"What's up?" Niamh asks as she adjusts to the light.

"Don't know he just woke up crying" he says as he bounces Matthew a little.

Niamh smiles and goes over to them and kisses his head. "Why are you up?" he asks.

"I went to the toilet" Cara says.

"Feeling okay? You're really pale" he says as she takes Matthew off him and tries to settle him.

"It is like three in the morning Joe" Niamh says as she bounces Matthew.

"What's up sweetiepie hmm?" Niamh coos as Matthew starts to settle again and drop off to sleep in her arms.

"Probably too warm in here for him" Joe says as Niamh lays Matthew down in beside them again.

"I'm going to put him in the travel cot if he sleeps with his feet in my back again" Niamh says.

Joe laughs, "he sleeps with his arm in my face" he says.

Niamh smiles at him and slowly lifts Matthew and takes him over to the travel cot. "There we go" she smiles as she sets him down in it and puts his blanket over him.

Niamh climbs back into bed and Joe cuddles up against her. "Hm please don't do that, I'm sweating" she says in a croaky voice.

"Your so cute when your grumpy" Joe teases as he slips his hands into her bed shorts.

Niamh smiles a little, "Smile it suits you" Joe mutters against her neck.

Niamh ignores him and tries to sleep, He moves his hands down her bed shorts and moves his hands against her.

"Joe please, I don't feel well" she moans.

"Let me make you feel better then" Joe mutters, Niamh rolls her eyes and just lets him.

Joe kisses her neck and she just Lies there and tries to sleep. "Please I don't feel well Joe" she whispers:

He pulls his hand away and looks at her. He strokes her cheek, "go wash your hands" she giggles.

Joe smiles and kisses her cheek and goes to the bathroom and comes back around fifteen minutes later.

"What took you so long?" she mumbles.

"A mans gotta do, what a mans gotta do" Joe says.

"Oh Joe really?" she laughs.

Joe nods and lies back down and cuddles into her.

"What we doing tomorrow?" she mumbles.

"No clue" raf says. "Going to mums for most of the day I think" he says.

"Okay" Niamh says, Niamh soon drops off to sleep.

Around nine o'clock in the morning Niamh and Joe are woken by Matthew who is kicking up a fuss.

"Alright Matthew son" Joe huffs as he gets up. Matthew has pulled himself up on the side of the cot and is dribbling down it as he cries. "Look at you grumpy drawers" he laughs as he picks him up.

Niamh sits up and watches as Joe calms Matthew down and brings him over to the bed.

"Morning grumpy" she says in a rather croaky voice which makes Joe wonder.

Matthew crawls over to Niamh and cries into he cleavage. "Aw crap I feel rotten" she says as she cuddles Matthew.

"Yeah you don't look it either, your eyes are heavy" Joe says.

Matthew cries loudly and clings to Niamh. "Aw it's okay darling" she coos.

Niamh rubs his back and kisses his head as Joe watches them. Niamh rubs his back and kisses his head as Joe watches them.

She lies back and Matthew sits himself on her chest and looks at her. "There, we will go down to breakfast and get you something soon darling" Niamh smiles as she kisses his head. Matthew lies down and rolls off her chest onto the bed.

About 10minutes later Joe comes out of the shower to see Niamh and Matthew asleep again.

Joe smiles and takes a photo of them as he finds them really cute.

Matthew starts to stir a little and wakens and starts to climb on Niamh. "Oi come here and leave mummy be" Joe says.

Matthew looks at Joe wide eyed just a Niamh wakens. "Ma!" He squeals as he leans over joes arms.

"Shh Matthew" Joe coos.

Niamh looks at Joe and sighs. "What's up babe?" he asks as he sits Matthew on the bed and gets himself dressed before sitting on the bed beside the two.

"I feel so rotten" Cara says.

"You don't look the best either" he says.

"Why don't I stay in bed and you take Matthew to your mums and have fun" niamh says.

"You could sleep in my old room at my mums if you like?" he suggests.

"I don't want to pass anything, I'm better off here" Niamh says.

"If your sure? I just don't want to leave you here by yourself, besides you'd be in my company if you slept in my room and not on your own" he smiles.

Niamh lies there thinking what would be best and finally gets up and changes. "Stay in your jammies if you like, mum won't mind" he smiles as he gets Matthew changed.

"I can't go down to breakfast in my jammies" she says.

"Okay put leggings and a loose top on" Joe suggests.

Niamh smiles, "I feel awful" she says as she gets Matthew's changing bag ready.

"I can do that" he says.

Niamh smiles and sits down again while Joe gets things ready. "I've text my mum to make up the spare bed for you" Joe smiles.

"Aw no Joe, please no hassle" she says as she coughs.

"She said its bother at all, now Niamhy I'll play nurse" he smirks.

Niamh smiles a little, "I'm very grateful" she says as she picks Matthew up and they head down to breakfast.
