Back In Time (Dan And Phil FanFiction)

Chapter 46: Lights Will Guide You Home

August 17th 2025

Dan's POV

I nervously stood in the dark street, the street lights shining down, lighting the whole street as barks from dogs echoed in the distance and I could feel my heart pound in fear and my palms sweating, as I wiped them on the back of my jeans.

I stood in front of the water fountain near Jess and Isabelle's house where Jess takes Isabelle all the time to throw coins in there or simply play games. I had chosen that spot for one reason; the fountain from Manchester was our first date. The day where I fell in love with the most gorgeous woman in the world, who later became a wonderful and caring mum to my daughter.

I talked about it with Phil, I told him my plan and he agreed to participate and help me.

I told him I wanted to stick notes around some of the lamp posts telling her in a incredibly cheesy way how much I love her and how much she means to me, I also managed to talk to one of the electrical guys and ask if he could turn on some fairy lights they only use on holidays, when Jess reads one of the notes stuck to a lamp post.

I told Phil to make up a lie to Jess to take Isabelle back to ours by saying that he was playing a party to celebrate my recent increase in my subscribers, so everything has been done and organised and now I'm just wanting Phil to come back with Isabelle, impatient and wrecked with fear. Fear of knowing that Jess doesn't feel the same way about me the way I feel about her.

So now I was standing in front of a big fountain, wearing my black t shirt, leather jacket and my black skinny jeans while nervously awaiting for Phil to arrive with Isabelle telling me that Jess had gotten the note.

I loved her, and she needs to know that.

I jumped out of my skin as soon as I heard footsteps running towards me, seeing Phil holding Isabelle as he panted while running as Isabelle was bouncing slightly and she looked confused but her face brightened when she saw me.

"I gave her the note! She should be here soon!" Phil panted out and I nodded patting his shoulder in thanks.

"Daddy, what about the party? What's going on?" Isabelle asked in confusion and Phil handed her to me, and I smiled down at her.

"Well, remember when daddy told you he still loved mummy?" I asked and she nodded.

"Well, I want to tell mummy in a special way. So uncle Phil told a tiny white lie to mummy to surprise her and you are going to go back to our house with uncle Phil and daddy is going to surprise mummy." I told Isabelle and I massive smile grew on her face and gasped excitedly.

"YAY!" Isabelle cheered throwing her arms into the air excitedly while giggling, I kissed her nose gently and she pushed some of my fringe away from my eyes. The way she would place her little hands on my face, is the best feeling in the world.

"Can you stay with uncle Phil until daddy tells mummy, and be good and I'll see you soon. Okay? I love you angel." I kissed her cheek and then blew a raspberry on her cheek and she screamed with laughter and giggled hysterically.

"Okay daddy. Also, mummy told me something amazing today!" Isabelle giggled throwing her arm in the air enthusiastically and I chuckled.

"What was that?" I asked.

"She said that she still lo-"
