Getting to know you

Anya who has been taking notes at the end on the bed for the past ten minutes clears her throat and speaks, "so how about you try and give her a feed?" She suggests.

"Erm... it didn't go smoothly last time" Niamh tells her.

Anya nods "well we can still give it a god." She then walks over to Niamh.

"Okay" she mumbles nervously and looks up at Joe.

Joe stands up to give Niamh some room. He gives a reassuring smile as Niamh unbuttons her pyjama top again.

Anya comes round and sits on the bed beside Niamh. "You ok you ready?" She asks.
Niamh nods and looks down at her daughter. Joe smiles and watches her.

Anya assists in helping to get her baby up to Niamh's chest and Niamh watches intentionally.

"Stop shaking it's fine" Anya smiles trying to ease Niamh. The baby realises she's being fed and instantly starts to cry.

"Have I done it wrong?" Niamh panics.

"No, no... she's hungry" Anya laughs.

"Oh" Niamh replies and holds her baby steady.

She suddenly stops crying and latches "ow... that was... painful" Niamh says.

"It will ease" Anya smiles.

"There you go babe, she's got it" Joe smiles as he kisses her cheek.

"Yeah" Niamh smiles as she starts to relax a bit.

"Look at her tiny hands Joe" Niamh smiles as she relaxes and examines her daughter in detail.

"She's beautiful isn't she" Joe smiles in ore of the two.

He gets his phone out and takes a photo of them as Niamh is blissfully unaware Joe is taking the photo.

"I could just munch you forever, and I can because I'm your mummy, and I won't let anything happen to you ever my darling. Mummy has always got your back" Niamh whispers softly to her daughter.

Joe smiles contently as he watches on, Anya leaves them be for a while as she goes and sorts some paperwork out.

"I love you" Niamh whispers as she takes her daughter away from her and burps her gently.

A few moments later Anya comes back, "right I'm going to take you all upstairs now into the mother and baby unit now" she smiles.

Niamh nods and smiles happily, "Okay, Joe would you let my mom know please" Niamh smiles.

"Will do" he smiles as he gets his phone out to text Barbara and follows Niamh.

"So any names for her yet?" Anya questions as she helps Niamh into a wheelchair and then gives her the baby.

"It's something weve discussed but wanted to wait till she was here" Niamh smiles.

"I think we should be called oops" Joe chuckles as Anya pushes Niamh to the lift.

"It was a very unexpected arrival" Niamh smiles.

"Both birth and pregnancy" Joe replies.

"Someone else's fault in the room and it's not mine or Anya's" Niamh chuckles.

"Hey why you picking on me! It's not entirely down to me you know" he laughs.

"Always my fault ain't it" Niamh laughs.

"Well the fact Matthew wasn't planned and I'd literally slept with you once after a few drinks... it says a lot" Joe smirks jokingly.

"It's not like I took a pregnancy pill or something" she laughs.

"We was drunk... let's end it at that" Joe laughs as the enter the mother and baby unit.

Anya takes them to their room which is a shared one, "I would like to just keep you here until tomorrow just to monitor your progress" she smiles.

Niamh nods and gets herself onto the bed as Anya places the baby in the cot before leaving.

"You should try and sleep, you look shattered" Joe smiles as he sits beside her.

"I'm exhausted... keep an eye on her please" Niamh smiles and Joe smiles before kissing her head.
Joe sits with her while she falls asleep and goes and sees to the baby.

"Hello... I'm your Daddy" Joe whispers as he strokes her clenched fist.

"Look at those hands" Joe smiles as she wraps her hand around his finger.

He gets his phone out and takes a picture of her hand holding his finger, before putting his phone away and carefully scooping her up.

She starts to give out a little cry and Joe starts to walk around rocking her in his arms. "Hey... shh I've got you" He smiles as he bounces her gently also. He walks himself around for a while before settling at the window.

"Look at this baby girl" Joe coos as he looks out of the window.

Joe cuddles her carefully "this is your world baby girl, you can be anyone you want to be. You can travel the whole wide world, but you'll meet people who aren't very nice along the way, they may try and hurt you or upset you but I promise baby girl, me and your Mummy will always no matter how far away we may be or how long gone we are. We will always have your back, baby" Joe smiles happily.

Joe kisses her head slightly as he takes a seat by the window. He stands there quietly with her just watching the world go by.
