Buttered Toast

It's now a few days before Matthews's birthday and Niamh is struggling to keep Matthew calm as he's so excited for his birthday.

She's currently getting him ready to take to school. He bounces around on Niamh's bed and watches Niamh bring his school clothes through.

"I'm going to tell all my friends about my birthday" he beams.

"Yes I know you are, please stay still" Niamh smiles as she picks up his underwear.

"But I'm too excited to get dressed" he smiles.

"You need to get dressed silly" Niamh smiles.

"I'm not silly" he giggles.

"You've got ants in your pants now let me dress you for school, you scruff" Niamh smiles as she tries to control Matthew.

"There's no ants mummy" he tells her.

He finally sits down and let's Niamh dress him. "Where's daddy?, he told me I have to learn to stand up while having a wee wee and why do I mummy? And why did daddy tell me to be careful of the baby?" Matthew asks all at once.

Niamh chuckles, "he's downstairs, well that's what big boys do like daddy and because the baby is growing so needs to make sure it doesn't get hurt, ok?" She smiles.

Matthew nods and let's Niamh dress him. "But But But I'm too small to use the toilet like daddy. I'd fall in!" Matthew exclaims with big hand actions.

"I'm sure daddy will show you" she laughs.

"Why can't you?" He sighs and puts his socks on himself.

"Because mummy doesn't stand to go to the toilet does she?" She says and smiles.

Matthew thinks to himself and just lets Niamh carry on dress him. She smiles as she straightens out his school shirt.

Once dressed she takes Matthew down stairs and makes him some toast. "Joe can you take him to school today" Niamh asks.

"Of course I would" he says and lifts Matthew up onto the stool.

Niamh puts the toast in the toaster and looks through the cupboards. "What are you after now?" Joe smirks.

"Just seeing what I can make for dinner later" Niamh replies as she searches the tins cupboard.

"Do you need help?" Joe asks.

"No, I'm fine" she replies and bats his hand away, Joe laughs and goes and gets Matthew down from the table.

Niamh stands up right and rubs her bump slowly, "right I'm just going to butter his toast could you make him a drink?" Niamh smiles.

"What would you like to drink matty? We've got orange juice, milk, juice or water" He smiles.

"Milk!" Matthew smiles cheekily.
"Daddy did you sign my reading book for Mrs Clarke?" Matthew adds

"I did and I put it back in your bag" he smiles.

"Okay, a girl in my class called Emily forgot to get her book signed and Mrs Clarke shouted at her" Matthew whispers which makes Joe laugh.

"Oh dear, good job you've got yours" Joe laughs.

Matthew smiles and Niamh places his toast in front of him. "Thank you Mummy" Matthew smiles and picks up a slice and starts to eat.

Niamh smiles and goes to make some for herself. "I'm working late tonight, should be finished at around half three in the morning so you'll have to get Matthew. I'm sorry" Joe says as he sips his coffee

"Oh, well you better sleep today then while I work" Niamh says.

"I'm working from eleven till three so I can't sleep well I've got a two hour break to get my head down in" Joe smiles and goes and hugs Niamh from behind.

"I better receive a phone call from you after all that time" she smiles.

"I'll try hun but you know how busy I can be" he smiles.

Niamh signs and looks at him. "Can't you make time for your wife? Niamh mumbles and pulls a sad face.

"Oh baby don't pull that face" Joe says.

"It's not fair, it'll be so cold in bed" she sighs.

"Take a hot water bottle babes" he jokes and kisses her cheek.

"You know it's not the same without you there next to me" she smiles.

Joe turns her around and kisses her passionately. "I love you so much sweetheart you know that right?" He smiles against her lips.

"You never let me forget it" she smiles.

Joe kisses Niamh move and holds her close. Suddenly Matthew speaks up with a mouth full of toast, "eww Mummy and Daddy are making babies!" He chuckles cheekily.

"Ah we are not alone" she whispers and smirks and turns to Matthew sitting at the breakfast table.

"And you Mr, stop being so cheeky" she smiles.

"But you kiss with your tongues! That's not allowed it's naughty!" Matthew exclaims.

"Do you think we should tell mummy off for being naughty?" Joe asks Matthew and smiles as he comes to the table with some toast.

Matthew stairs at the two of them unsure how to reply. Niamh elbows in Joe's side, "ow" he says rubbing his side.

"Right son let me finish my toast and I'll take you to school" Joe smiles trying to change subject.

Matthew still sits starring at Niamh almost thinking to himself. "Daddy?" He questions.

"Yes son" Joe says as he finishes his toast.

"How did the baby get inside Mummy?" He questions curiously which causes Niamh to choke on her drink.

"Erm, well..." Joe says trying to think of what to say.

"It's complicated" Niamh smirks as she looks at Joe.
