Niamh rises from her chair and hugs Chloe. "Be good for Auntie Niamh, Jordan" Chloe calls through as she leaves.

"Watch how you go missy" Niamh smiles as she lets Chloe leave and then heads back into the lounge.

"I can't believe they're moving" Niamh says to Joe.

"You'll still see them though" Joe replies.

"I know but it'll be weird not seeing them all the time" she says.

"Oh niamhy" Joe sighs as he gets up, "I'm now off to do some paper work and pay these bloody bills" Joe says.

Niamh smiles as Joe kisses her head, "I'll go entertain the kids" she giggles.

"That's my wife" he chuckles and walks off so Niamh goes through to Matthew who's playing with Jordan.

"So boys...what you playing" she smiles as she sits down.

"Marvel!" Matthew speaks up as he tips his action figures out onto the wooden floor.

"Yeah!" Jordan cheers and they both rummage through the figures.

Niamh laughs and walks through to the kitchen and boils the kettle.

"Jordan you can be Black Widow" Matthew says as he picks the toys out. 

"I'm not a girl! I won't be a girl!" Jordan protests.

"But we can't both be the same" Matthew tells him.

"I'll tell your mummy if you make me a girl!" Jordan protests.

"No! Because that's not very nice!" Matthew shouts.

"I'm telling!" Jordan begins and Matthew starts to panic and throws the toy at it which hits Jordan off the head. "Auntie Ni-...." Jordan is cut off by Matthew standing up and hitting.

Jordan starts to scream as Matthew goes for him, hitting him.

Matthew hits him and Matthew then sits on Jordan's head. "Auntie Niamh!" Jordan screams loudly as he can't move as Matthew is taller and a little heavier than him.

Niamh rushes through to the living room to see what all the commotion is about.

She sees Matthew on top of Jordan, "Matthew James McFadden get off him this instant!" Niamh demands firmly.

"He started it!! He was going to tell" He yells.

"Right get up!" Niamh shouts and then lifts Jordan off the floor. Jordan clings to Niamh and cries into her shoulder as she carries him to the sofa.

"Mummy he wasn't playing nicely!" Matthew protests.

Niamh sits Jordan on her lap and checks him over, "Matthew, you clearly wasn't playing nice... time out now!" Niamh says to him and points to the corner.

Matthew frowns and throws a punch at Jordan "My mummy!" He screams jealously.

"That's enough!" She practically screams back and places Jordan on the sofa and she holds Matthew's hand and pulls him towards the step and demands he sits down.

He starts to kick at her and misses her stomach and kicks her hip, "Matthew!" Niamh shouts at him and slaps his legs.

Joe hears the commotion and comes to the top of the stairs from his office.

"What the hell is going on" Joe says in total confusion.

"He's not playing nicely and he's been hitting Jordan... I've had it with him Joe, sort him out" Niamh says as she locks the stair gate and walks away.

Joe stands there and watches her walk into the kitchen. He takes a breath and turns to Matthew. "Right Mr. Up!" He tells him sternly.

"No!" He screams back so Joe grabs his arm and sits him up on the stairs, "you're very naughty, Matthew sit here until you've learnt to behave... I will call the naughty children's home now" Joe threats as he leaves him on the stairs.

Matthew burst into tears hysterically almost in an instant as Joe leaves him to it.

"Sorry!" He screams and starts to kick the gate.

Joe tries his hardest to ignore him and sees to Niamh.

"You okay?" He asks Niamh as she comes through with a drink for Jordan who's playing happily on the floor now.

"I can't deal with him when he's like that, he almost hit my stomach" she tells Joe and sits beside Jordan.

"At least he missed right?" Joe smiles and places his hand on her stomach.

Niamh smiles and nods. She rests her hand on top of his just as the front door goes.

"I'll go" Joe smiles as he gets up to see Matthew has climbed over the gate but fallen asleep on the last step.

He smiles to himself as he looks so peaceful but can see his puffy eyes.

He chuckles to himself as Matthew looks like Niamh when she's seen crying.
