Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday

The following morning Niamh wakes to her legs entrangled with Joe's. "Morning" Niamh mumbles as she stretches out. 

"Morning" Joe smiles happily as he rolls over and looks at her.  "Merry Christmas babe" he smiles as he leans forwards and kisses her.

"Merry Christmas to you too" Niamh mutters between kisses.

He sits up once he's pulled away from Niamh and reaches for his boxers. Niamh smiles at him and giggles "what?" He laughs.

"Last night was brilliant" she smiles as she rests against his chest.

"Yes most defiantly" he smiles.

He gets out of bed leaving niamh sitting there looking confused "what are you doing?" She smiles.

"Get your clothes on I'm going to get Matthew" Joe smiles and Niamh nods and gets changed.

A few minutes later Joe comes back through with Matthew clinging to him. "Look mummy it's the birthday boy" Joe smiles as he places Matthew down on the bed.

He looks up at Joe and smiles happily "Da!" He smiles as Joe sits back down too.

"Someone's happy to see you" Niamh smiles and pulls Matthew onto her lap.

"Mama" Matthew smiles and eats his fist.

"Happy Birthday my baby boy" Niamh smiles and kisses Matthews cheek.

Joe smiles happily as he watches Niamh holding Matthew and quickly gets a photo. "Shall we give mummy her Christmas present first?" Joe smiles as he gets someone out of his suit case. 

"Oh Joe I didn't think she was doing presents this year" Niamh blushes as he hands her a small present.

She opens the small present to find a necklace box marked 'pandora', Niamh's heart flutters as she opens the box. She finds the pandora necklace she's always wanted "oh my Joe you didn't have to" she smiles.

She looks at the 'forget Me Not, purple &a clear necklace', and smiles happily. "I thought you'd like it, I know you've had your heart set on that one for ages" he explains.

"I love it" Niamh says as she leans forward and hugs him.

"Glad you like it" he smiles.

Niamh smiles back and kisses him again, "the problem is now, I didn't get you a present" Niamh sighs.

"Don't worry, you can make it up to me" he smiles.

Niamh smiles and kisses him again "mama" Matthew smiles as he crawls onto her lap again.

"Sorry baby" Niamh smiles as she moves him off her lap and gets up and gets his presents.

Matthew squeals as he sees Niamh pick up his presents. "Bless him" Joe laughs.

"He loves the sound of the paper" Niamh smiles.

Joe smiles and watches as Matthew lies on his stomach and pats the paper, "is it noisy baby?" Joe says as Matthew squeals.

"Mama" he smiles as Niamh helps him out the presents.

Joe takes some more photos of him opening is presents "oh look at these three Brian" Barbara smiles as she admires them at the door.

Brian puts his head around the door and smiles at them "Merry Christmas " he says happily to them.

"'Merry Christmas Mum and dad" Niamh smiles as she puts some of the wrapping paper in a bin liner.

They leave them be for a while and head off downstairs. "Joe would you stop taking photos of me" Niamh demands as she can see him in the corner of her eye.

"Fine" he laughs as he puts his phone down.

She brushes her hair and comes back over to Joe, "right come on family selfie" Niamh says as she gets her phone.

They put Matthew between themselves and takes the photo, Joe then quickly grabs his and takes another one photo.

He goes quiet and types away, "what are you doing?" Niamh giggles.

"Posting it on twitter, we haven't both posted in ages" he laughs happily.

"What have you put?" Niamh questions and moves Matthew onto her lap.

Joe shows her the post and smiles at her... 'Our first proper family Christmas together, where Niamh hasn't been off her face on pain relief. And Happy 1st Birthday to our son ❤‬'

Niamh smiles and nods to him "that's lovely, honestly though I hardly remember Christmas Day I just remember being amazed by this tiny baby in my arms" she explains.

"And I recall nail marks in my hand for other a day" he smirks.

Niamh laughs and kisses him lightly on the lips, "it's been an amazing year" she smiles happily.

"Yes I agree and Matthew is the one who's turn our relationship around so we should be thanking him" Joe smiles.

She nods and gets out of bed and lifts Matthew up, "come on my parents want to give Matthew their presents" she smiles.

They head downstairs to her parents who are eating at the breakfast table. "Some toast here if you want it" Barbara says as she stands and turns around to go make them a cup of coffee each.

Niamh sits down with Matthew on her lap and Joe sits next to her, he watches Matthew babble to himself and look wide eyed around the room. "What you saying son? Talking about mummy are we?" Joe smirks which makes niamh look at him.

"You what?" She says really confused.

"You heard me, he's talking about you" Joe teases.

"You've lost it" she giggles happily.
