I'm Isabella Jessica Hughes. I'm 9 years old. I'm the elder child of Chris Hughes and Jesy Nelson. I have a younger brother named Joseph Christopher Hughes who's 5.

Isabella's POV:
It's my 9th birthday today! I am very happy, but there's something missing today: My mum's out on tour for the 2 more months. She's missed both my and Joseph's birthday now. I walk into the kitchen to see my dad cooking breakfast.
"Morning, love" My dad says "Happy birthday!"
"Thanks dad, I just wish mum was here." I say a little upset.
"Hey, your mum wishes that she could be here more than anything. You know how busy she has been lately." My dad tells me. "You want some breakfast, then we can go wake your brother up and then we'll go open presents?" I nod happily. On cue, Joseph walks into the kitchen. "Did you say yous were gonna wake me up?" Joseph asks tired. Both me and my dad laugh.

After we open my presents, my dad ushers me over.
"Love, mum sent me something for you." He tells me and hands me his phone. I click on the video and I see my mum and listen "Hey my princess, I'm sorry I can't be there right now but I promise you that when I get home, we will go out for a few days at Thorpe Park. I love you more than anything in the universe. I will be home for both of your birthdays as next year I have the whole year off. See you soon, my angel." my mum says "I have a little surprise for you, we are currently on stage and the mixers have something to say." She turns to the crowd and they yell "Happy birthday Isabelle!" I then hear Perrie, Jade and Leigh yell "Happy birthday, Issy!" Then the video ends.

I hand the phone back to my dad, and I can't get the massive smile off my face.
"Your mum sent that last night and I was gonna show you last night but I thought, "better on her birthday" " he tells me with a chuckle.
"Was that mummy?" Joseph asks.
"Yeah it was." Dad tells my little brother.

Later that day:
We just had a barbecue with mom's bandmates partner's (Andre, Alex and Jordan) and their kids. (Andre and Leigh have 3 kids: Kaiden who's 8, Rhian who's 5 and Jayden who's 1, Perrie and Alex have 4 kids: Toby who's 10, Aaylah who's 8, Payton who's 3 and Issac who's 8 months. Jade and Jordan have 4 year old twins: Lia and Liam.)
Everybody sings happy birthday as dad brings the cake in.
"Make a wish, Issy!" Joseph tells me.
"I wish for mum to come home!" I say and blow out the candles.
Somebody covers my eyes. "Who's there!?" I ask frantically.
"It looks like your wish is coming true." I recognize that voice, she moves her hands and I turn around and see my mum standing there with her arms wide open
"MUM!" I yell and hug her tightly.
"MUMMY" Joseph yells and hugs her too. The other girls come in and their kids yell and hug their respective mothers.
"I thought you said that you'd be home in 2 months!" I exclaim.
"We have a week break and it's starting today so we decided to travel back here to surprise you!" My mum tells me.

Everyone has left now and now it's just me, Joseph, dad and mum all snuggled up on the couch having a movie marathon. I'm very happy that my mum is home
"I love you, mum" I tell her. She smiles down at me and kisses me on the forehead and then tells me "I love you more, my angel".
