It's now a week before the wedding, it's 2am in the morning and Niamh, Joe and Matthew are setting out for the airport, to fly out to Malaysia.
"Got everything?" Joe asks as he takes the last suitcase out to the taxi. Niamh goes back into the house and does a last minute check.

She makes sure all the windows are locked, the blinds are down in the kitchen, the blinds in the lounge are left at an angle so they're still open a little. She then shuts the doors to the kitchen, locks the back door and puts the keys away.

Niamh then quickly grabs Matthew's teddy bear, travel blanket and her handbag which has a lot of chargers in. "All set?" Joe smiles.

"All set and ready to go" Niamh smiles happily.

Niamh leaves the house and gets into the taxi and sits next to Matthew who's fast asleep in a car seat which has been supplied by the taxi company. Joe sets the house alarm and turns the lights off before locking the front door and heading to the taxi.

Once at London airport, Joe gets them checked in while Niamh covers Matthews legs as he sleeps in the pram. Joe soon comes over to her again, "flight isn't for another two hours so how about we go for a drink and some breakfast?" Joe suggests.

"Yeah sure, I just need to pop to the toilet. I need to pee again" Niamh says and Joe laughs before taking the pram and waiting for Niamh in costs coffee.

Once she's been to the toilet she goes into costa coffee but it's not long before she needs the toilet, she waits for Joe to come back with her cup of tea and his coffee and she heads off to the toilet again.

Joe sits drinking his coffee and waits for Niamh to return, she smiles as she returns "God you need to cut down on how much your drink" he chuckles.

"I've hardly drank at all" Niamh replies and sips her tea. She smiles at Matthew who's still fast asleep.

He watches her with a smile on his face, "what you so smiley about?" Niamh asks as she eats a little of her cake.

"Just sitting here with you" he replies while she sips her drink, "you look different" Joe smiles.

"Joe I've got no makeup on, that's why" she laughs and Joe still shakes his head because he always sees her without her makeup on. "I've dyed my hair, this is new top" Niamh adds.

Joe just looks at her and leans forward a little, "...and your period?" Joe asks in a hushed tone.

she leans back in her chair and laughs, "Jesus Christ Joe, I'm not pregnant... God why would you say that" Niamh replies, hey both go silent and don't really know what to say next, she looks down at Matthew who is now awake and just in time as their flight has been announced for boarding.

Niamh stands up and picks Matthews blanket up as he's kicked it off and then gets ready to go, Joe quickly finishes his coffee and they walk to the gate. She then gets Matthew out the pram and collapses it down, Joe lifts Matthew up and Niamh takes the collapsed pram on to the plan once Joe has shown them on the gate the tickets.

They find their seats and have to walk all the way down to first class, Niamh sits next to the window with Matthew in the middle and Joe on the end. "Mummy why can't I sit by the window?" Matthew asks.

"Because I want too" Niamh replies. Matthew sighs and looks down at his lap "Okay you can sit by the window but you owe me some of your Haribo's later" Niamh laughs and stands up. Matthew clambers across the seats and sits by the window and lets Niamh do his belt up.

Joe smiles and rests his hand on Niamh's thigh and smiles, Niamh does her belt up and sits watching Matthew peering out the window as he can just about see if he pushes himself up in the chair.

"Are you going to be nice a quiet, because mummy and me need some sleep" Joe smiles and Matthew nods not really paying attention.

"First time he's been on a plan and appreciated it" she smirks.

"Well you won't be saying that eight hours into the flight" Joe laughs.

Niamh just simply smiles and takes a few photos of Matthew looking out the window as this flight has wifi and you can use your phone at certain times, Niamh then turns it off and slips it into her pocket.

Soon the plane is ready to depart and everyone is belted in and they begin their decent down the runway, "mummy why are we getting faster?" Matthew says.

"We're taking off sweetie" she replies. Matthew looks at Niamh and then grabs her hand tightly. Niamh looks at Joe and smiles at him which causes Joe to look at Matthew too.

"Don't think he's a fan" Joe mumbles as Matthew tries to hide his face and cover his ears.

"Ahh mummy my ears!" Matthew panics as they pop as they finally get up into the air. Soon the seat belt sign is turned off and Niamh takes his seat belt off and lifts him onto her lap.

She cuddles him and holds him close, "hey it's okay, hold your nose and swallow" Niamh says and Matthew nods and does exactly that before cuddling up to Niamh again.

"Mummy's boy" Joe teases and Niamh laughs and rolls her eyes.

"Not really, he's obsessed with you" Niamh laughs and kisses him.

"But I wasn't the one who carried him for nine months, I only put him in there" he jokes. Niamh giggles and rests against him as she watches Matthew who is still looking out the window, he waves at some birds in the distance.

"Oh Joe look at him" Niamh smiles and Joe looks at Matthew.

"What you waving at Matty?" He asks.

Matthew turns around and looks at them "the birds" he smiles and points out the window. "They must be really far up" Matthew giggles and continues to look out the window before he gets bored of it and sits back in his chair correctly.
He looks around and then notices something in the chair in front of him, he sits up and taps Niamh. "Mummy, what's that?" Matthew asks as he points at the chair.

"It's a TV" Niamh smiles.

"Can I watch it?" He asks and Niamh nods.

"Anything for a quiet life" Niamh smirks as she looks at Joe before turning the TV on and giving Matthew some headphones.

She searches for something for him to watch and finds spongebob which he's never seen but she's about to see if he likes it, she puts it on and Matthew starts to watch it and doesn't complain.

Niamh lies back and smiles happily before closing her eyes and drifting off to sleep on Joe's shoulder.
