"Daddy! Daddy!" Isla yelled as she ran across the carpeted hall and into the studio.

"Is that a wild gremlin I hear?" Niall teased, with the biggest grin on his face.

He turned towards the door just as his little girl came running in, holding his disposable camera. She'd jut gotten back from nursery.

Niall could hear Heather downstairs pottering around in the kitchen.

"I'm not a gremlin! I'm a princess!" Isla grumbled, folding her arms across her chest, the camera pressed up against her body as well.

"Whoops my mistake. Sorry... princess Isla." Niall chuckled before barrelling towards her and picking her up. He bounced her up and down in his arms.

"How was school?" He quizzed.

"Good! We had carrot sticks for lunch." Isla beamed whilst Niall laughed at her love for food. She was definitely his child.

"That's great Isles. Did you learn anything though?" Isla finally had a nickname. She felt like she was a part of the gang now.

"Uhhmm..." She fiddled with the camera while she thought about what she did at school.

"I... I Uhhm... I played with Jacob and Kai and then... and then we read our books. I managed to... to read a whole page Daddy!" Isla smiled up at Niall, feeling super proud of herself.

"No way!! Not my Isles. My Isles is still a little baby." Niall cried.

"I'm not a baby Daddy! I'm a big girl princess I already told you!" Isla whined.

"I know! I know! I'm only playing. I'm so proud of you. I'm always proud but especially now. Well done!" He hugged her tighter.

"Fank you." She began to giggle when Niall started to tickle her.

"Why you in here Daddy? Are you playing music again?" The little girl quizzed cheerily once the tickles had ceased.

"I am. Did you want to listen?

Isla nodded frantically before being put back down.

Niall walked over to the mixing desk and fiddled with a few buttons before pressing play. He pulled his stool up closer to the desk and took a seat. He then turned around and dragged the spare stool next to him for Isla.

She shuffled over holding her arms up for Niall to pick her up and put her on the stool.

He did just that, plonking her down so that she was standing on the top.

"Don't tell Mummy I let you stand on there." He winked at his girl.

Isla tried to wink back but it was more of a blink. Niall laughed at her attempt.

The room fell silent while they both listened together. Isla began to sway to the song, to which Niall panicked and held onto her to stop her falling.

He turned back to the desk quickly and then back to Isla. He was met with a blinding flash.
