Joe strokes Niamh's hip and smiles at her, "it's going to be alright" he whispers as he lies next to her and hugs her.

"You need to get back to Matthew, for all we know he could be drawing on the walls again" Niamh mumbles.

"He'll be fine all the pens and crayons are high up" Joe smiles happily.

Niamh cries quietly to herself "but what if I'm right what if I have miscarried" she mumbles.

"No what's ifs Niamh" he mutters again her neck.

"But..." she cries.

"No, don't say it. Look at me tell me if it's a girl what do you want to call her?" Joe asks and strokes her cheek.

"Joe... but..." Niamh cries.

"No tell me Niamhy" he smiles.

She rolls over on the bed and looks at him, "Sophie or maybe Jessica, I don't know yet" Niamh cries as she wipes her face.

"That's it and a boy?" He asks.

"I don't know... maybe Ollie or Harry" Niamh replies.

Joe wipes the tears off her face with his thumbs and kisses her forehead lightly.
Joe sits up and sees Matthew standing in the door way.

"Why is Mummy crying?" He asks quietly.

"Matty, Mummy needs one of your super hero hugs" Joe smiles.

Matthew walks in and climbs up onto the bed and crawls along the bed to Niamh and hugs her tightly.

"Don't cry mummy" Matthew says.

Niamh hugs Matthew back and smiles, she kisses his cheek and carries on hugging him. "I love you baby" she mumbles.

Matthew pulls away from the hug and kisses her lips and giggles, "mummy you feel betta?" He asks.

"Yes Matthew lots better" Niamh smiles as she holds his hands.

"Daddy I've made Mummy happy" Matthew smiles proudly.

"Yes you have, our little super hero" Joe smiles as he high fives Matthew.
"See babe you've always got Matthew no matter what" Joe adds.

Matthew sits on the bed and plays with Niamh's fingers and keeps touching her ring. "It's shiny" he giggles.

"Yes it is Matthew, it's very special to mummy" Niamh smiles as she feels a little more happier.

"Why is it?" He asks.

"Daddy gave it me, it means we can get married" Niamh smiles.

"But I want to marry mummy" Matthew says as he looks at Joe.

"Too late son, you can't marry your mummy" Joe laughs.

Matthew frowns and pulls a face, "my mummy not yours" Matthew says as he hugs Niamh.

"So you don't want to share?" Joe asks.

"No!" Matthew replies quickly.

"But you will have to share one day" he smiles.
