The following morning Niamh wakes to Joe staring straight st her with a smile slapped across his face, "what?" Niamh says.

His smile grows, "morning beautiful" he says.

"Hello" she says a little unsure to why he's smiling.

"Did you sleep well" he smiles as he sits up slightly but remains warm under the duvet.

"Yes?" She says as he never usually speaks to her like this. "Have I missed something here; am I still asleep?" Niamh mutters.

"Your very much awake. Now, how about breakfast" he smiles hoping Niamh would catch on.

"Urgh... you want me to cook; fine, fine... get your pregnant wife to do it" Niamh says as she climbs out of bed and sorts her pyjama bottomed out.

"Hey sorry... I just thought..." Joe says a little confused.

Niamh mutters to herself and walks downstairs and goes straight to the kitchen.

Joe rolls over and turns his phone on and then opens the curtains to let some light in.

Once he's up he goes and checks on Matthew and wakes him up. He goes in and opens his curtains, "wakey wakey" he says.

Matthew looks up at Raf with sleepy eyes and smiles slightly. "Up we get Matty" Joe smiles.

"But I'm comfy" he says.

"Come on school day" Joe smiles as he pulls Matthews cover off, Matthew sits up on his bed and rubs his eyes.

Once Matthew has woken up properly they go downstairs to Niamh who is cooking breakfast.

"Mummy what you cooking" Matthew asks.

"Eggs and toast" Niamh replies as she turns the toaster on.

Matthew giggles and climbs onto the breakfast bar and watched her "Happy Birthday Daddy!" Matthew beams and Niamh turns around in shock.

"Thanks mate" Joe smiles and puts his fingers through his hair.

Niamh seems to of zoned out and is worrying Joe as he notices "Niamh babe, are you okay?" He asks.

She comes out of her trance and clears her throat. "Yeah...I'm fine, any ketchup on yours?" She asks.

"Niamh who has ketchup with Eggs?" Joe laughs.

"Some people...don't want any then" she says and starts to serve.

"Pregnant cravings" Joe says with a laugh.

Niamh continues to serve and hands Matthew his plate and then Joe's before doing some for herself.

"Niamh why are you so on edge?" Joe asks.

"Am I? I'm just hungry" she says.

Joe laughs and walks over to her and kisses her cheek, "so what are you eating?" He asks.

"I'm going to have mine with ketchup with mine" she smiles.

Joe laughs and smiles happily at her before sitting down and watching Matthew eat.

"Mummy can I have some more" Matthew smiles.

"Erm I think that's enough for you" Joe smirks.

"I don't want you being sick, now go play with your toys in the lounge" Niamh smiles and kisses his head.

He nods and happily skips over to his toys, Niamh smiles as she finally sits down her her food.

"You working today?" She asks him.

"Yes unfortunately" he smiles.

"When you finishing?" She asks.

"Half six, you alright to collect Matthew from school and take him?" Joe asks as he puts his plate and cup in the dish washer.

Niamh nods and starts to clean up, "So where's my birthday presents?" Joe teases.

"You'll have to wait" Niamh smirks as she knows he's at work all day.

Joe smirks back at her and walks off and collects his work things. "I shall see you later" Joe smiles and kisses Niamh.

She kisses him back and then let's him leave. She makes her way through to the lounge and smiles at Matthew "ready for school?" Niamh smiles cheerfully.

"Yeah!" Matthew smiles and stops what he's doing.

"Okay get your shoes on and we'll get going" niamh smiles as she gets her jacket and bag.
