It's now Niamh's wedding day and she is extremely nervous about today, she is currently sat in her Mum's kitchen with a glass of water in front of her. "Feeling alright? heard you being sick this morning" Barbara says as she enters the kitchen.

"Yeah just very nervous" Niamh smiles.

Barbara smiles and gets some food out the fridge to make breakfast with. "Fresh watermelon?" Barbara says offering Niamh a slice. She brings a slice over to Niamh as she didn't reply to her question and places it down in front of Niamh.

Niamh looks at it as she puts her phone down and pulls a face, "Smells lovely" Barbara smiles. "Lovely and refreshing" She adds.

Niamh looks away "God no Mum stop!" She says as her hand flies to her mouth and she runs off in direction of the bathroom.

"Niamh?" Barbara calls as she walks through to the downstairs toilet room and looks at Niamh who is knelt over the toilet bowl. "God, you didn't even drink last night... goodness these nerves must be getting the better of you" Barbara says.

She hands Niamh some toilet roll and she wipes her mouth, Niamh slowly stands and flushes the toilet. "Dodgy curry last night?" Brian chuckles as he walks past them.

"I'll have you know Brian Walsh my curry was perfectly fine, I cooked it right through" Barbara replies and hits him with the tea towel.

Niamh gets herself a glass of water and sips it before heading upstairs and goes for a bath. She gets into the bath and sighs with relief, Chloe has Matthew and he's out of her hair for a couple of hours and she's enjoying the relaxation before her big day which is in less that five hours.

Soon there is a knock at the bathroom door but Niamh is too relaxed to reply, her mum opens the door and looks at Niamh in the bath with both eyes closed. "Niamh some tea for you hun" Barbara smiles and sets the mug down on the side of the bath for her.

Niamh huffs and sits herself up as her mum continues to stand here "everything alright mum?" She questions.

"Oh just wanted to know how you're feeling now?" Barbara smiles.

"I'm good, still feeling sick but I'm sure it'll pass" Niamh replies.

"Well we don't want you being down your lovely dress now do we?" She says to Niamh and Niamh nods in agreement and sips a little of her tea.

"Can I help you?" Niamh says as her mum continues to stare at her, she covers her breasts up with her one arm and pulls her knees up as she feels a little awkward.

"I hate to be mean or anything Niamh... But don't you think you've gained a wee bit of weight?" Barbara questions her.

Niamh looks down at her stomach and thighs, "just a little I guess. I hope I can still squeeze into my dress" she smirks.

Barbara smiles "well you'll have to hold it in for the day won't you."

"God no... Not for the whole day" Niamh panics.

Barbara laughs and they both go quiet and Niamh sighs and then looks back up at her mum, "Mum?" She questions and Barbara just looks up at her and gives a little nod to show she's listening. "Can you do me a big favour please?... I need you to buy me a pregnancy test, I'll pay you back of course" she says to Barbara and Barbara nods and looks at her in shock.

"Are you?" She asks.

"Think so" Niamh mutters.

"Have you told Joe?" Barbara questions.

"Not yet" she replies.

"Right I'll quickly pop out now, will you be fine on your own? The hair dresser will be here in around half hour so make sure yourself and Chloe are ready for them" Barbara smiles as she leaves the bathroom and heads to the shop.
