County Cork, Ireland 2005, based off cillians experiences while filming "The Wind That Shakes The Barley"

You could hear the soft sound of rain trickling off the roof and onto the windowpane as you slept peacefully under your quilt and thick duvet—well, rather, Cillian's parents' quilt and thick duvet. Ever since your husband, Cillian Murphy, took up the role of Damien O'Donovan in the upcoming film The Wind That Shakes the Barley, you’d been staying at his childhood home, in his childhood room, with his parents in County Cork. You certainly didn’t mind it either—Cillian’s parents, Brendan and Mary- were reserved, but never unwelcoming by any means. They were bookish people, with shelves full of literature, and his three slightly younger siblings weren't a bother. Cillian had told you that he always had his nose stuck in a book as a child, and it wasn’t hard to see why. Cillians parents were teachers: his mother taught in school, and his father worked as a school inspector.

when Cillian was away, filming a few miles up the road, you would often curl up with a little book and a cup of tea. You could hear Cillian stirring now at his little childhood desk, reading something— his lines. When he noticed you had woken up a bit, he spoke softly, dryly:

"Good morning... How are you feeling? any improvements?"

He whispered in that dry tone, as he yawned and stood up from the desk, peering out the window at the foggy sky before sitting down on the edge of the bed and rubbing your little bump. referring to morning sickness—you were 5 months pregnant. Although Cillian spoke dryly and monotonous, he was a caring man and didn't like to see you in any sort of pain.

"It’s 6:22, rest a little more. I know it’s difficult with the baby moving around—but try, for another minute or so."

He spoke in that same soft, dry manner, as he continued to gently rub your tummy.. despite only being thirty, he was such an old soul. still, you could see the nervousness of a first time father, behind those pale blue eyes
