It's not long before they arrive and all get out the car. Barbara comes to the door and Matthew has ran straight up to her and is currently talking her to death.

"God I missed you Matthew" she laughs as she listens to everything Matthew is saying.

She then looks up at Niamh who's got the smaller case of the three and smiles.

"Hunny look at you, looks like it's not long before you pop" Barbara smiles and pulls her into a hug.

"I feel it now, four weeks left" Niamh smiles.

"Wow it's flown by" she smiles as she pulls away.

"Can't believe it myself" Niamh smiles.

"Come inside, can't stand out here all day" Barbara laughs.

Niamh follows her mum in and Joe takes the cases in with Brian.

Barbara's dog comes running in and greeting everyone and both Niamh and Matthew bend down and fuss him.

"Oh Mum he's so cute, I'm so sorry to hear about Molly" Niamh smiles slightly.

"Yeah I was so upset she passed away but she's now out of pain" Barbara smiles.

Niamh smiles as she stands back up and puts her bag down.

The dog then jumps up onto her lap and stars to lick her face. "Oh god" she laughs as she pushes him down.

"Harley! What have I told you about jumping up" Barbara warns the dog.

"It's fine" Niamh laughs as Harley calms down and just sits there on her lap.

Barbara smiles and looks at Matthew who isn't sure about the dog at all. "He's fine Matthew, he's a baby" Barbara explains.

Matthew watches the dog closely and looks at Niamh and back at the dog, he brings his hand up slowly.

Harley turns and looks at Matthew before curling up on Niamh's lap as he yawns. "Looks like you're occupied, I hope you don't need a wee" Joe laughs as he comes in.

"With my bladder I always feel like I do" Niamh laughs.

Joe sits down beside Niamh but instead Harley growls at Joe and then let's out a loud bark which startles Matthew.

Niamh laughs "I don't think he likes daddy, Matty" she smiles.

Matthew smiles a little and then walks out of the room to find Brian. "Tea or coffee" Barbara asks.

"I'll have a tea please mum" Niamh smiles.

"Coffee, please" Joe smiles happy as he tries to shuffle closer to Niamh but Harley keeps growling at him.

"Ok I'm scared to come any closer" Joe laughs.

Harley soon jumps off Niamh's lap and walks into the kitchen and Joe shuffles closer to Niamh.

"That's much better" he smiles and puts his arm around her.

Niamh smiles and gets comfortable, "Wonder if Chloe is coming over at some point, haven't seen her since the wedding" Niamh says.

"I'm sure she will, been a while" he smiles.

"I saw a photo of Jordan yesterday, he looks more and more like Chloe everyday, he's in 7-8 years clothing, he's tall apparently" Niamh replies.

"Harry is quite tall though" Joe says.

"So are you, yet Matthew is a midget" Niamh replies.

"If you haven't noticed you're only 5ft 3... Matthew clearly has taken after you" Joe laughs.

"Ok maybe he does a bit" Niamh laughs as Barbara comes back in with their drinks.

"Thanks Mum" Niamh smiles as she takes her drink.

"Are you sure it's wise coming out here like this Niamh? It's all a bit close to your due date don't you think?" Barbara replies.

"I should be fine, think I got a while yet" Niamh says.

"Don't jinx yourself hun" Barbara replies before picking up her knitting.

"Right" she says and glances at Joe as she sips her tea.

Joe rolls his eyes and sets his hands on her bump. A little while later Barbara starts making the dinner.

Niamh and Joe are currently sat on the sofa enjoying time together while Matthew is with Brian.

"I think our baby likes Ireland" Niamh smiles as she leans on Joe.

Joe looks at her "you've literally lost the plot" he smirks and kisses her head.

Niamh laughs and looks up as she hears the door go and Harley goes mad.

"Jesus, he's aggressive" Joe laughs.

"Less cursing in this household please" Barbara says as she walks through and goes to the door.

Niamh looks over at Joe and smirks.

"Wonder who that is" Niamh smiles as she strokes Joe's head.

"I'm not sure" he smiles.

Suddenly Niamh sees a familiar face and gets up. "Chloe!" She smiles.

"I wanted to suprise you" Chloe smiles as she goes in to hug Niamh.

Niamh hugs Chloe back and smiles. "It's a lovely surprise we only landed here around two hours ago" Niamh smiles.

"I call that good timing" Chloe smiles.

Niamh pulls away from Chloe and smiles before noticing Jordan, "hello Mr, well haven't you grown" Niamh smiles.

"Mum says I need new clothes" Jordan smiles.

"Oh gosh, you're growing out of them. Can I have a hug please Jordan?" Niamh questions and Jordan looks at her unsure.

"It's only auntie Niamh, Jordan" Chloe smiles.

"I don't want to be hugged" Jordan protests.

"Well give Auntie Niamh a high five then?" Chloe says trying to reason with Jordan.

Jordan nods and Niamh holds her hand up for him to high five. Jordan high fives her and then looks around, "is Matthew here?" He asks.

"Yes he's in the other room with grandma" Niamh smiles.

Jordan rushes off and bumps into Matthew and he throws his arms around Matthew and smiles.

"Jordan has been asking if Matthew is going to be here" Chloe laughs.

"He looks thrilled to see Matthew" Joe smiles.

"They'll be busy for hours" Niamh smiles.

"Oh he will, he's got a bag full of cars and action men to keep them occupied" Chloe laughs as she takes her shoes off.

"Nice they enjoy the same things" Niamh smiles.

Chloe nods in agreement and watches Jordan from a distance.
