Flustered Meal

"Matthew come down and give your Mum some space" Joe shouts up as he can hear Matthew chatting away to Niamh.

He heads into the kitchen and smiles at Barbara "right let's get this show on the road" he smiles.

He does the last bits then he and Barbara dishes up and places the dinners on the table.

Niamh comes down and sits herself at the table, opposite Joe and next to her Mum. "Matthew please come and sit down next to Grandpa and Daddy please" Niamh smiles.

"What this chair mummy" Matthew smiles as he stands by a chair next to Joe.

"Yes" she smiles.

Matthew cheerfully climbs up onto the chair and looks down at his dinner.

"What's that?" Matthew says as he picks up a piece of vegetable.

"It's a Brussel sprout, you've tried them before Matty" Joe smiles as he cuts up Matthews food.

"Do I like them?" He asks.

"Try it" Niamh smiles hoping he will.

He then picks it up on his fork, lifts it to his mouth and nibbles on it. "Eww! That's horrible!" Matthew says and pushes his plate away.

"Matthew please don't push your plate away, you have had it before why don't you just eat the rest of your dinner" Niamh says to try and get him to eat.

"But that's horrible and now it's touched my sweet corn and potatoes" he protests.

"Matthew!" Joe warns in a stern tone.

"Come on Matthew, you won't get anything else for dinner" Niamh says.

Niamh and Joe both try to reason with Matthew but have no luck so ignore him and carry on eating.

Everyone carries on eating, half way through Joe feels something strange and looks up from his dinner.

He looks over at Niamh and raises an eyebrow, she looks at him innocently and smiles back.

Joe dismisses it, confused and goes back to eating.
"So Joe, any work recently?" Barbara questions as she sparks conversation.

"Yeah I've been getting quite a bit of work in, yeah" Joe smiles.

"That's good, you know I wish I'd of gone for a more exciting job but then again being a real life nurse leaves everyday challenges" Barbara smiles as she finishes her food.

"Yes you have to be very strong emotionally to do that job" Joe smiles.

"It's a hard job but with amazing benefits, I love working on maternity with the new borns" Barbara smiles as she looks at Brian who's just finished himself.

Joe smiles and looks up at Niamh who's already looking at him. "So Niamh What's work like for you?" Brain asks as Niamh seems quiet.

"Quiet actually, mainly because a lot of filming dates are February but I had to decline all of them" she laughs.

"Oh yes, you know sometimes I forget you do it months in advance" Barbara smiles.

"Yes, it seems weird. But I shall hopefully start filming again for Jamestown when the baby is five months old" she smiles.

"That'll be good" Barbara smiles. Niamh watches Joe as he jolts and looks up from his plate.

"Okay there Joe?" Brian asks.

"Urgh... Erm... yeah" he stutters.

"Are you in pain?" Barbara asks and Niamh sniggers to herself,

"Just got a bit of cramp" he laughs slightly.

Matthew looks over and joe and smiles "Daddy can I leave the table."

"Yes go and play" Joe says.

"So what you been up to Dad" Niamh smiles and then looks a Joe and moves her foot under the table.

"My job doesn't bring much excitement" Brian smiles.

"Oh... really" Joe says as he jolts again and grabs hold of Niamh's foot which is teasing him under the table.

Joe gives Niamh a look which she just smirks back, He lets go of her leg and she slowly strokes his inner thigh.

"I hope everyone is hungry, there's dessert in a while" Niamh smiles and carries on stroking up his thigh.

Joe starts to breathe unevenly and looks at Niamh. "Yes dessert would be wonderful" Barbara smiles.

"Joe?" Niamh smiles.

Joe looks up again and just nods. "Great... would you like to help?" Niamh smiles.

"Erm... yes you can come help me" Joe smiles as he quickly stands and hurries into the kitchen.

"Mum, Dad I shall clear this, you can do sit in the lounge, Matthew will probably want to show you stuff" Niamh chuckles.

"Too right" Brian says and they both go into the living room.

Niamh walks into the kitchen and looks at Joe and smirks. "Would you help me clear the table" she smiles as if nothing ever happened.

"Erm you can do..." Joe says confused.

They clear the table together and start to load the dishwasher "you've been playing games again Mrs" Joe smiles as he stands and smiles at her.

"Games? What games" Niamh says acting innocent.

Niamh stands smirking at him with her hands on her hips. "You know what game young lady" he smiles.

"Am I winning" she smirks.

"Oh you certainly are you bad woman" he smiles and he walks up to her and holds her hips.

"You got that right" Niamh smiles and rests her hands on his chest.

"So naughty... feeling me up, putting me off" Joe replies and kisses her forehead.

"Hmm, being naughty is fun" she smiles.

"But not in front of your parents, I'd have you over my knee for that" Joe flirts and strokes her hips.

"I like a challenge, try me" Niamh says and raises an eyebrow playfully.

He pulls her as close as possible and smacks her on the bum.
"Ooh Joe!" She squeals.

Joe holds her bum and gives it a squeeze before leaning in to kiss her passionately. She eagerly kisses him back and slides her hands up his shoulders.

They get into the swing of things when they hear a slight cough. Niamh pulls away and looks across the room.

"Mum..." Niamh says a bit flustered.

"Am I interpreting something ?" Barbara smirks.

Niamh stands and straightens herself out, "no... course not" she says and clears her throat.

Joe turns away and carries on setting the dessert up and checks on the dish washer.

Barbara smiles to herself and goes back into the living room as Niamh grabs some bowls.

"She's got to stop doing that" Niamh puffs.

"Do what?" He questions.

"Sneaking in like that" she smiles cheekily.

"Too distracted" Joe smiles at her.

Niamh rolls her eyes and carries on with the dessert.

They get the dessert ready and bring it out into the living room, "dessert is ready" Niamh calls.

She hands out the puddings and joe sorts out Matthew as Niamh doesn't want him getting custard on the sofa.

Matthew sits and holds his bowl carefully trying to keep it still. Joe sits himself beside Niamh and starts to eat his pudding.
