Roll cameras part 2

Three years

Around two years later Matthew is now three, Niamh is back filming Holby and is four months pregnant. Joe on the other hand has just finish his final scene of Holby and is now preparing for a part in Silent Witness.

It's 5:54pm and Niamh had just gotten back from work, she comes in and Matthew runs straight to her "mummy!" He squeals.

"Hello Matthew" she smiles as she crouches and hugs him.

Niamh gets up and Matthew runs off back into the lounge, "hey baby" Joe smiles.

"Hi" she smiles as she hugs Joe tightly.

"Good day?" He asks.

"I'm really tried, but it was good" Niamh replies as she walks into the kitchen.

"There's some post on the side for you"Joe calls through.

Niamh picks the post up and she opens it and reads the post. "Oh that's good" she smiles.

"So what's it say?" He asks.

"We've got our scan in two weeks time" Niamh smiles.

Joe smiles and strokes her stomach, "high hopes for this one" he smiles.

"Me too" she smiles happily.

"Three miscarriages is a lot for anyone" Joe sighs.

Niamh gives a little smile and goes and puts her coat in the cupboard and her shoes in there too. "Oh Matthew is going to need to take more spares with him when he goes to preschool Monday" Joe calls.

"Why?" She asks.

"He wet through both pairs today" Joe says.

Niamh sighs and looks at Matthew who's happily playing with his toy car garage. "Fine I'll put two more sets in" Niamh huffs as she looks in his school bag to see wet clothes in a plastic bag.

Joe looks at her as he places a cup of tea on the coffee table for her, "he'll get dry in his own time" Joe smiles.

"Mum said that too" she replies as she sits on the sofa and rests against Joe.

"Stop worrying then" he laughs and kisses her forehead.

Joe strokes her stomach "I know you don't like discussing the gender but what do you think it'll be?" He asks.

"Please Joe, every other time I've found out the gender of guessed it I've lost the baby" she says and tries not to cry.

Joe hugs her and kisses her cheek. "Sorry" he smiles.

"No worries" she smiles.

Matthew comes over to Niamh and climbs up onto her lap. "Mummy play" he smiles as he passes her a car.

"Not at the moment sweetie, mummy wants to rest" Niamh smiles.

Matthew starts to cry and throws his car across the room, "no Matthew that's naughty!" Niamh says as she stops him from chucking another.

Matthew tries to push away from her "mummy no!" He cries.

"Right come on Matthew naughty step" Niamh says as she stands and holds his wrist and takes Matthew to the hall way and sits him on the staircase.
"You'll stay here until you can behave" Niamh says as she locks the stair gate as the baby gate to the lounge.
