Back In Time (Dan And Phil FanFiction)

Chapter 13: The right moment

August 16th 2025
Dan's POV

I smiled as I noticed Isabelle fell asleep in my arms as I was telling her the story. I'll tell her about her mother tomorrow, right now she needed to sleep. It was almost 10:30pm.

I carefully removed her from my lap and placed her under the covers, she looked so peaceful when she slept. Even when she was a baby I use to watch her sleep, lying there so innocent and sweet. I'd always wonder watch she was dreaming about. I smiled and kissed her on top of her forehead. And left her bedroom leaving the door open slightly.

I saw Phil in the living room as he was watching TV. He saw me come in and muted the TV as I sat down.

"You've been there for ages, is Isabelle okay?" He asked, I nodded and smiled. "She wanted to know how I met you and Becca, so I was telling her the story. She wanted to know about Jess but I'll tell her tomorrow." I said to Phil. He smiled and nodded as we watched TV together laughing at a comedian who was performing some funny acts and pranking people.

At around 12:20 I decided to go to sleep because I was pretty tired and knowing Isabelle she'll be up by 8:00am, Phil went to be a while ago so I decided to go as well. After brushing my teeth and turning off all the lights (which I still hate doing, I'm a 34 year old man and Im still scared of the dark!) and put on some pyjama bottoms and got into bed. I fell asleep instantly.

I had that dream again, the one where me and Phil where first teaching Isabelle how to walk, we where in the apartment and I was holding her tiny baby hands as she smiled at Phil trying to move her little legs.

"Come on baby, come to uncle Philly! You can do it!" Phil encouraged Isabelle, he was standing a few feet away from Isabelle with his arms out to try to get her to come to Phil.

As I stood there holding her tiny hands, supporting her as she moved her feet. Phil sighed and looked at me. "Dan lets swap, I'll hold izzy and maybe she might walk to her dad!" Phil said as I took his place with my arms open as Phil held her hands.

"Come here sweetie, walk for daddy!" I said, Isabelle giggled and let go of Phil's hands.

She held out her arms and giggled at each step she was taking walking towards me. Phil and I gasped and she she walked straight into my arms, I laughed with joy as I picked her up and lifted her over my head as she laughed like mad. I kissed her on her small cheek and Phil jumped cheering as I laughed at him. Isabelle looked at me and grabbed my chin with her hand as She giggled.

"You did it baby, daddy's so proud of you." I smiled and I placed my forehead onto hers and she giggled slightly.

After Phil had finished cheering, he took Isabelle out of my arms and started saying what a smart girl she was and how amazing she was. And to be honest, she really was.

I woke up to someone tapping my shoulder slightly.
"Daddy......daddy?" I heard a soft voice whisper. I opened my eyes slightly and saw Isabelle standing there holding her elephant. I groaned and rose my head blinking away the dust that was in my eyes.

"Sweetie, what is it? Go back to bed." I mumbled, she shook her head rapidly.
"Daddy, I had a nightmare. It was the monster again. He tried eating you and uncle Philly." She said.
I checked my phone and saw that it was 3:00am, I huffed as I got up and put my shirt on and picked Isabelle up and sat on my bed.

"Honey, you know monsters aren't real. Nothing's going to harm you. Me and uncle Phil aren't going anywhere, it's just a bad dream." I said smiling at her, she forced a smile but still looked scared. I thought for a moment and then I had an idea.

"How about daddy tells you the story of how he met mummy?" I suggested, Isabelle gasped and nodded her head. "Yes please daddy! Also I want to know what happened the day I was born, and with Aunty Becca too!" She giggled and I chucked. "I think I can recall that day." I smiled at her.

"YAY!" She cheered but then Silenced since Phil was asleep right next door. But I laughed slightly and Isabelle giggled too.

"When did you meet mummy daddy?" She asked looking at me. I smiled, I remember that day like it was yesterday.

"It all started May 22nd 2015........."

Ohhhhhhh......how did Dan meet Jess. Next chapter will reveal everything and the chapters along Jess having Isabelle and what happened between Becca and Tommy. I might other people's POV but at the same time it wouldn't really make sense since its dan's Story, but oh well😂

Lots of love
