Preparing for Departure

A few days later Niamh and Joe are packing up their bags, getting ready to go back to her parents in Malaysia.

"I can't wait to see Matthew although I'm going to miss the piece and quiet" Niamh giggles as she goes over to Joe and hugs him as she's finished packing her bag.

"Me too I don't think he's going to want to leave us alone for a while" Joe chuckles.

"I know, my baby boy is growing up too quick now for my liking" Niamh says as she looks down at her phone at the lock screen of Matthew when he was 7 months old, eating his first ice cream.

"He's always going to want his mummy" he smiles and shows her a photo on his phone of him a little older.

"Oh my that was the day he climbed onto my lap and almost pulled my top down" Niamh giggles.

"Close call" Joe laughs as he puts his phone back into his pocket and picks up the large suitcase.

She goes to grab a smaller suitcase but Joe stops her, "you do the last checks and I'll take these to the car" he smiles.

"Am I not capable" she questions as she goes into the onsuit to make sure they have everything.

"No don't want you hurting yourself, you look after the baby" Joe smiles.

"Oh yeah because that's my only job" she laughs and comes back into the room where Joe is.

"Only thinking about you babe" he laughs and Niamh makes the final checks before they leave.

"Let's go" she smiles and follows Joe out to the car and opens the boot so he can put the suitcase in.

She gets in the car and sits waiting for Joe. "Lazy" Joe smirks as he gets in next to her.

"I'm not you just told me not to lift" she laughs.

"Yeah... you just want to leave it all to me" he smirks.

"Shut up and drive" she laughs and kisses his cheek as he turns the engine on.

He smiles as he pulls away and drives them all the way back to Barbara's and stopping for Niamh to use the loo as she can't hold it.

Once they pull up at Barbara's she gets straight out the car and knocks the door and Brian comes and answers the door "hi darling... he's in the pool" Brian smiles and kisses her cheek and gives her a hug.

"Thanks dad" Niamh smiles and hugs him tight. She pulls back and Brian moves to the side to allow her and Joe to get inside.

Joe shakes Brian's hand as usual and then Niamh heads into the house and takes her shoes off.

"I'm going to see him" Niamh smiles at Joe as she can't wait another second.

Joe smiles at her as he puts the bags down as she makes her way through to the garden. She smiles to herself when she sees him in the pool giggling and stands there for a couple of minutes watching him.

She watches as Matthew chucks the ball Into the deeper part of the pool and watches as Molly dives in after the ball before she brings it back to him.
He squeaks with excitement as she comes back to him, before he hears a familiar voice. "Hello Matty" Niamh smiles.

Matthew head swings to the direction of the back door and his face lightens up so much Niamh can see his teeth. "Mummy!" He squeals and runs as fast as his legs can take him into Niamh's arms.
