Roll cameras part 2

A perfect christmas

Joe smiles as he watches her finish the toast. "Moving?" Joe asks as he notices her rubbing her bump.

"I think it likes the marmite" she laughs.

"Well that was a different story with Matthew he made you sick from what I remember" Joe smirks as he placed his hand gently on her bump.

"God I remember that was brutal" she says.

Joe takes Niamh's plate and places it in the dishwasher and walks into the lounge and Niamh follows but notices Matthews's crusts "Joe?" She questions.

"Yeah?" He asks.

"Did you say he could put his crusts in the bin?" Niamh asks and raises her eyebrow.

"Er I told him to eat them, I thought he did?" He says confused.

"Clearly not, I emptied the bin last night..." Niamh says a little confused.

"Matthew?!" Joe says firmly.

"Yes daddy" he says still into his toys.

"Come here" Joe says.

He puts what he's playing with down and goes into the kitchen area.

He walks in and looks up at Niamh and Joe. "Explain?" Joe says in a strict tone and points to the bin.

"I wanted to play with my new toys" he says quietly.

"That's not exceptable Matthew!" Joe says.

"I'm sorry" he says and puts his head down.

"Next time you won't shift from that chair until you've eaten the crusts!" He says.

"Joe cut him some slack" Niamh sighs.

"Niamh he can't just not eat his food because he wants to play" Joe says.

Niamh rolls her eyes and walks off as she can't be bothered with arguing with Joe. "Next time Matthew!" Joe warns and Matthew hurry's off and follows Niamh.

"Don't worry baby you ate a lot of your breakfast" she smiles.

Matthew smiles and continues playing with his toys. Joe comes in and sits beside Niamh, "when's your mother coming?" Joe questions.

"Around 2 she said" she says.

"Good" He smiles and pulls her close.

"How's dinner coming along" he smiles and kisses her head.

"Well I haven't started the veg, but will you help me? My ankles are getting so swollen" she sighs.

"You go and sit while I do it" he smiles.

"I'm already sitting you big fool" she laughs and hits him playfully.

"Ouch" he laughs. "Well make yourself comfy then" he laughs.

"Treat me like a princess Joseph... I am carrying your baby" she laughs.

"I intend on doing so" he smiles and kisses her.

"Do love you" she smiles and cups his cheeks and kisses him back.

"And I love you" he smiles.

"What about me!" Matthew says as he pops up from behind the sofa.

They both slightly chuckle, "we love you too" Joe smiles. Matthew smiles and disappears again, Niamh laughs and sits resting against Joe for a while.

"Joe... as much as I like this, we need veg" she smirks.

"Get plenty of that my love" He laughs and Niamh cringes.

"Dirty!" She giggles.

"And" he laughs.

"Not here you dirty beggar!" She giggles.

"What did you say" he smirks and raises an eyebrow.

"So dirty minded" she laughs as she reaches over him for her phone.

Joe laughs and kisses her head as they relax watching Matthew happily playing.

Niamh starts to drift off to sleep on Joe as she's not used to being up so early.

He turns to see her asleep and smiles, "Matthew could you get mummy one of the blankets please" he asks as he doesn't want to wake her.

Matthew stands up and walks over to the other sofa and grabs a cream coloured blanket before passing it to Joe.
"Thank you" he says and tries his best to lay her down without waking her.

Matthew tries to help but finds himself struggling. "It's okay Matty I've got it" he smiles.

Matthew smiles, "mummy is very tired" he smiles.

"She is, got her up too early" Joe smiles.

Joe gets up and decides to get into the shower. Once out the shower Joe dries himself off and changes into some presentable clothing.

He comes downstairs and back into the living room, "Matthew shall we get you dressed, granny and grandpa will be over soon" he says.

"Can I have a shower?" Matthew questions.

"Of course, shall we get your superhero shower jel" Joe smiles.

"Yes! But I want my paw patrol towel" Matthew smiles as he jumps around Joe.

"Come on then" Joe smiles as he follows Matthew into the bathroom.

Matthew undressed himself and stands waiting for Joe. "Come on then Matthew let's get you in the shower" he smiles.

He helps him into the shower and helps him to wash his hair. "Ahhh! Ahhh! It's in my eyes!!! I'm going to die!" Matthew panics as the soap gets In his eye.

"Calm down it's ok" Joe reassures him and gets a clean flannel.

He wipes Matthews eyes and continues to help him wash.
Once he's finished he turns the shower off and grabs his towel.

Joe helps him out and wraps him up. "Come on then Matty lets get you dry and dressed" Joe smiles.

"Let's have a look at what you've got in here" Joe says and looks though his clothes.

He grabs pants and socks before looking for trousers and a top for him to wear.

"These are nice" he smiles and pulls out an outfit.

"Mommy likes that top, she made me wear it for my friend Peter's party" Matthew replies.

"It is a very nice top" Joe smiles.
