It's been a week since Niall's birthday and with the deadline quickly coming up, he's been stressed out a lot. Not only are the lads seeing it, but Trinity and Julie are as well. Niall knows he paid it off, he knows he did, he just can't figure out where the papers went. He's doing everything in his ability to make up the money again, just in case he has to repay it. The last thing he wants to do is have not only his house taken away, but Trinity will be taken from him as well; he just got her back, he's not losing her already. 

Julie has quickly become a part of the family. Everyone treats her as Niall's daughter, and she's even telling everyone that that is her family. Nobody minds one bit, they all love her. Trinity's more excited about having a sister more than anything. It's not until one night at dinner that Niall becomes a little curious about Julie's home life. Everyone was over for dinner, and Louis started asking about her family. 

"My family? There isn't much to say. It's just me and my sisters. My parents are always working so I don't see them a lot. But that's okay because Brylee, my older sister, looks after me and Daisy." Julie smiles at everyone and takes a few bites before Liam asks the next question. 

"What do your parents do for work that has them away so much?"

"They're lawyers. They're always getting assignments out of town. They've been out of the country a few times. They say the states are amazing. They brought us back a lot of souvenirs from New York and Florida." As people continue asking questions, Niall politely excuses himself for a moment. When he returns, everyone is quiet and the atmosphere is tense. 

"What's going on? What happened?" Harry puts his silverware down and looks at the Niall.

"Why didn't you tell us that you're struggling with the house Niall? Liam's the only one who knew. Do you not trust us? We can help you get the money." It's at this moment he realizes that the kids are playing outside. He sits down across from them with Liam at his side.

"I didn't tell ya because I don't want help. All I have to do is find the papers to show them I paid for it. I can do it on my own. The only reason Liam knows about it is because he saw the papers on the table the one day. I told him not to tell you."

"How long do you have?"

"I have another week to find the papers or pay it again." Louis looks between everyone.

"That's not bad. We can help you find it in no time, and if not, we can help pay for it." Niall smiles gratefully but shakes his head. 

"I can't ask you lot to do that. It's too much. If needed, I'm going to use the money I saved."

"How much is the payment?"

"42,000." Harry bites his lip.

"How much do you have saved?"

"150,000." The boys nod their heads, happy that Niall at least has the money just in case they do have to repay it. "If I don't find the papers by Friday then I'm just going to pay it again. I'm not risking anything." All at once, the kids run back into the house with loud giggles and thudding footsteps. 

"Stop right there, all of you." Liam yelled loud enough so the kids could hear him. He waits until he hears silence before continuing. "I know the ground is still wet from the rain last night, so shoes off at the door." The kids walk into the kitchen with smiles on their faces. 

"Daddy, Trinny fell, and Julie and I laughed." Coen said with a hint of laughter in his voice. Niall looks over at Trinity to see that her entire backside was covered in mud. He lets out a laugh before motioning upstairs.

"Go change, darling. Make sure you clean up any messes you make." Trinity agrees and walks upstairs to change whilst the other kids all sit down at the table once again. Loghan looks over at Julie and smiles.

"Daddy, want blue hair too." Louis looks at Loghan before smiling slightly.

"Maybe when you're older darling." Loghan nods and the subject is dropped. When Trinity finally returned to the kitchen, she suggested that everyone should go into the living room so they could all watch movies until Julie had to go home. 

The rest of the day was spent with everyone laughing and having a good time. None of the lads had anything to worry about, and if they did, it was sent to the back of their mind so it wouldn't interfere with their family time. Out of all of the lads, Niall was the most relaxed, which was not expected since he had the most to worry about, but everything just seems to fade from his mind when he has his daughter sitting on the floor in front of him laughing loudly along side her best friend. As he looks around the room, he realizes that his home is where ever these people were. And as long as he's with them, he will always be home.

First of all, Happy Birthday Hazza baby! Second of all, Little Freddie Tommo. Third of all, History music video. But onto the reason you're really here. 

It's been over two months since I've updated this book and I have no excuse for it except that I'm not feeling it anymore. I've spent a lot of time thinking about it, and I've just moved on from this. I've been getting ready to go to college this coming fall and I've been saving for that. I've been selected to represent my school at this thing in Boston, so I'm getting ready for that as well. And, I'm going to the Supernatural Convention in Pittsburgh. So, I'm really pushing for money. 

Anyway, bottom line is, I'm going to finish Daddy Niall and that's it. No sequels, no new books. This is it. I will make one final Authors Note at the end of the story and that's it. 

I'm sorry, but I can't continue doing something if I'm only giving less than half an effort, you guys deserve better than that. I love you all
