I've decided to start writing this fanfic again but without my co-writer for now! Start Active for more updates xx

The following morning Niamh wakes up to Matthew crying, she gets herself out of bed slowly and walks through to his room.

She yawns and rubs her eyes "oh deary me Matty" Niamh coos as she looks at Matthew who is holding himself up on the side of his cot.

Niamh smiles as she lifts him out the cot and kisses his head, "oh Matthew... it's okay" she soothes and soon Matthew calms down.

Niamh lies him down on the floor and changes his nappy "oh you smelly boy" Niamh smiles as she wipes him down before putting a fresh nappy on him.

She puts the nappy in a nappy bag and puts it in the bin before carrying Matthew through to her room. "Right now you can wake daddy for me" Niamh smiles as she puts Matthew down on the bed.

He instantly crawls over to Joe and starts to pat his face and smile. "Mama" he squeals as he watches Niamh sit down, Niamh smiles and brushes her hair out of he face and continues to watch Matthew crawl all over Joe.

Matthew pulls himself up on Joe and then falls forwards and lands on his chest.

Niamh pulls Matthew off Joe's chests and sits him back on the bed but he instantly crawls back over to Joe.

"Da!" He squeals as he sees Joe open his eyes.

Joe smiles and strokes his cheek "morning you" he says quietly as he slowly sits up.

He pulls Matthew into his lap and kisses his head "how long you been up?" He asks as he leans over and kisses her cheek.

"Not too long" she smiles as she hands Matthew his dummy.

He instantly takes the dummy off her and puts it in his mouth. "That's good then" he smiles.

She sighs "oh matty" she says.

"What's up?" He smiles as Matthew seems perfectly fine.

"I want to get him off the dummies...  all the rest of the children his age in his nursery don't have them" she says and Joe laughs. "What's so funny?" She questions.

"He's not even one Niamh... my eldest niece didn't stop having a dummy until she was like four" Joe laughs.

"Well his teeth are coming through and I can't help think they won't come through straight" she sighs.

"There milk teeth they will fall out then his adult set will be straight if don't, well the dentists work wonders these days" he says.

Niamh laughs and picks him up off the bed and takes Matthew through to his room and changes him. Joe follows her through to Matthew room and stands in the door way as she changes him.

"You know Niamh he's a smart wee thing.. I'm sure he'll grow out of it" Joe explains and Niamh just nods.

"You know Joe you really make me wonder if you don't have any children already" Niamh explains.

"I haven't Niamh you're the only one I've ever had a child with, Matthew is my first... I mean our first" he smiles as he walks over to her and kisses Niamh's neck.

Niamh smiles as she puts a set of socks on Matthew and a vest. "Yeah right" Niamh says as she pulls a vest over Matthews head.

Joe rolls his eyes and heads back into their room and gets changed. Once Niamh had dressed Matthew she carries him downstairs and gets him a bottle of milk before setting him down in the lounge.

Joe comes down and looks at Niamh "in a better mood yet?" He asks and Niamh just completely blanks him as she reads through the post which has just come.

She opens one addressed to herself and Joe and reads it "what!" She says in a stunned now.

"What's up?" Joe asks rather concerned.

"You were meant to pay the nursery... they said they will give away his place if we don't carry on the payment" Niamh says.

"Oh shit I knew I forgot something" Joe says as he puts his hand on his head.

"How could you forget... you idiot" Niamh snaps. 

"I don't know, I think I just forgot" she says.

"No a good enough excuse Joe" Niamh snaps as she's getting even more annoyed with Joe.
"I can't even leave you for ten minutes without you forgetting to pay something, do you want our son to be left home alone or do you want him in a safe environment while we work?... well that's it I'm gonna stay at home and look after him myself, at least that's free of charge" she rants.

"Woah calm down" Joe laughs.

"It's not fucking funny Joe!" She says as she starts to loose her temper with him.

"Don't get your knickers in a twist... we'll pay it, money isn't a problem" Joe laughs.

"I hate you!" She says as she goes to hit him but he catches her wrist and stops her.

"Geez Niamhy, someone got out of bed the wrong side" he smirks.

"Oh shut your trap" she says.

She walks through to the lounge and watches Matthew play, "would it kill you to just pay some bills" she says.

"That's what I do... I've paid the rent and the water bills so far" he says.

Niamh smiles as Matthew pulls himself up on the sofa and edges along to her, "what a clever boy you are Matthew" Niamh coos as she strokes his thin brown hair.

Joe watches her and smiles "he's getting big" he smiles trying to strike a calm conversation with her.

"Yeah" she mutters as she lifts Matthew up onto her lap, he instantly starts to wriggle and gets down.

"Someone isn't happy" Joe smiles as he watches Matthew crawl over to his toys.

"Do you have to comment on everything he does... it's really irritating... I can tell he's not very happy I carried him for nine months I should know him just as well" Niamh snaps.

"Oh dear someone's on their period" he teases.

"Right that's it Joe... go to work... I won't be here when you get back" she huffs.

"Oh yes you will" he smiles.

"No I'm going to my mums" Niamh says.

"What! But you have to buy plane tickets" he says a little confused.

"I've already done that, don't bother trying to stop me" she replies as she gets up and heads into the kitchen.
