Dan's POV

"Well, that's the whole story sweetie. Does that answer you're question, Isabelle?" I asked her and Isabelle nodded her head and smiled up at me and Phil.

"I can't believe that's the whole story daddy, you've had a very exciting life!" Isabelle claimed while giggling and I pulled her into a hug and kissed her forehead.

"It's been difficult sometimes darling, and me and uncle Phil have had some difficult times. But I want you to remember something very important; life is too short to be unhappy and miserable, always be happy and smile. Because without you're beautiful smile daddy will always be unhappy." I told her and she giggled but nodded.

"Okay daddy. Uncle Philly?" Isabelle asked Phil who yawned slightly and shook his head quickly then drew his attention to Isabelle.

"Yes izzy?" Phil asked and she played with his hand slightly, drawing little circles around the palm of his hand where the scar from his cut was.

"Had life been hard for you too? Like daddy and mummy?" Isabelle asked and Phil chuckled slightly.

"Yes, it has. But now I'm very happy and like daddy said; don't focus on being sad all the time, be happy." Phil said and Isabelle nodded in amazement but then yawned loudly while rubbing her tired eyes.

"Okay, back to bed missy. We can talk more about this tomorrow you'll be up by seven anyway." I told her and she didn't argue, but nodded as I picked her up and carried her to her room placing her under her covers, kissing her forehead.

"Love you, baby girl." I told her and she yawned again, rubbing her tired eyes.

"Love you too, daddy." She whispered and I closed the door slightly and walked back to my room where Phil had fallen asleep on my bed and I chucked, folding my arms and shaking my head.

"Phil, go back to bed." I told him hitting his back gently and he shot up in surprise and rubbed his eyes.

"Huh? What?" Phil groaned and I sighed while rolling my eyes in the process and I helped him up.

"Go back to bed its five in the morning, go on!" I told him and he groaned loudly, forcing himself to get up and walked, looking more like a zombie who was drunk nearly breaking everything in my room.

"Night Phil!" I called after him and he groaned in response which made me laugh.

I was so tired I climbed back into bed and shut off my light and fell asleep while sighing.

I just re-lived my entire life story to my seven year old daughter and for some reason I feel so overwhelmed and I couldn't remove my thoughts out of my head.

Why did Isabelle want to know about Phil and her mum?

Did Jess still have feelings for me?

Have they talked about this before?

Has Jess ever told her point of view?

Isabelle has never asked me about my life before, why now?

I groaned loudly, turning over and facing up at the wall trying to get to sleep.

I shut my eyes, my thoughts began to vanish out of my head and I instantly fell asleep.
