Back In Time (Dan And Phil FanFiction)

Chapter 3: Happy Memories

August 16th 2025
Phil's POV

Every time I see Isabelle I  instantly see Dan in her. She was exactly like Dan, funny, kind and always honest. She had dan's hazel eyes and personality and I was so happy every time she came to visit, she was such a joy to have around the house I almost never wanted her to leave.

"Uncle Philly! Look at me!" Isabelle said running in a circle flapping her Arms and jumping. I laughed "what are you doing sweetheart?" She continued flapping her arms and hopping while she giggled hysterically.

"I'm trying to fly uncle Philly!" She tripped over her foot and landed in the sand, I chucked while picking her up off the ground and placing her on my waist as she looked at me with her stunning hazel eyes.

"Are you okay izzy?" I asked her, she pouted slightly "why didn't it work uncle Philly?" She asked sadly, I looked at her sympathetically but ended up laughing slightly "darling you know you can't fly it's make believe, remember when we had that conversation about what's real and what's not real?" I asked her, she looked up at me.

"But Peter Pan can fly if he thinks of something happy, which is what I was doing but it didn't work." She genuinely looked really upset at the fact she couldn't fly. I was like that when I was her age living in a fantasy world instead of reality, kids can really bring out your true imagination and make believe which is one of the things I loved about Isabelle, she had an active imagination.

"But Peter Pan is a Disney movie sweetie you know that. We're you thinking of something happy?" I asked her. She smiled and nodded her head, "I was thinking of the time daddy and I went to the zoo and saw the koalas and the time that we got ice cream at the beach and the seagulls attacked you and ate yours! And the time you stubbed your toe and said a naughty word!" She laughed.

I put her down on the ground and got on my knees so I was the same height as her, and I just smiled at her. "I'm so happy you like those memories izzy, but sometimes a lot of things are just make believe darling. Like Peter Pan, you know that's a cartoon sweetie? But never stop thinking happy thoughts. Okay Isabelle?" She nodded "Thank you uncle Philly" she wrapped her tiny arms around my neck and I hugged her back. It was honestly the best feeling in the world, having a child hug you and feeling their love and warmth as cheesy as it sound.

It was the most incredible feeling in the world. "I'm going to ask daddy to come and play with us!" She said running off to catch up with Dan who just finished talking to Jess. I liked Jess the day I met her, she was so incredible kind and sweet it was hard not to like anything about her. Isabelle was exactly like her mum, beautiful and intelligent.

"Come on daddy! Come play with us!" Isabelle said tugging dan's jumper Sleeve pulling him along. "Okay darling I'm coming, I'm coming! Isabelle slow down sweetie!" Dan laughed as she tried to pull him along. "Isabelle why don't you go play by the sea bed I need to talk to uncle Phil, okay darling?"Dan said, "okay daddy!" Isabelle said running off to play by the sea.

"Try not to get your feet wet!" Dan yelled after her. "I WONT!" She replied.

"She didn't give you too much trouble did she?" Dan asked putting Isabelle's suitcase on the ground, "you know she never has" I said to him. Dan looked up at me and laughed slightly while looking at Isabelle trying to make friends with a seagull and trying to run after it after flying away. "Phil remember when you asked me earlier what's the thing I'm the most happiest about?" Dan said to me. "Yeah" Dan looked at Isabelle collecting seashells from the sand. "Her".
