Niall Horan Imagines

Merry Christmas Daddy AU Pt 2...

Once again, sorry for any mistakes.

"Niall." I struggled to breathe

This couldn't be happening. My mind had to be playing tricks on me.

"Hi, (YN)." His voice broke me from my inner thoughts

"Wha--what are you doing here?" I stuttered a bit as I felt like my whole world had been turned around. I instinctively took a hold of Aileens shoulder and pulled her towards me.

"And who is this angel?" He crouched down to Aileen's level, completely ignoring my previous question.

"I'm Aileen." My little girl smiled, sticking her hand out

"Nice you meet you Aileen, I'm Niall." Niall took a hold of her little hand, shaking it.

"What are you doing here?" I asked once again

Niall stood up, "Can I come in?"

"You're the one who left." I said, mostly to myself

"(YN), please!" Niall begged, his weight being shifted from one foot to the other

"Aileen, can you go back to dinner with grandma?" I asked my little girl

"Okay. Bye mommy, bye Niall!" We both watched as she ran off, and right when I knew she was out of hearing distance I allowed Niall inside.

"Thank you." He whispered as I lead him to the living room.

"Okay. You're inside. Now tell me why you're here."

"I made a mistake. I made the worst mistake anyone could have done. " He confessed

"I don't understand." I cut him off, "Why did it take you so long? Five years, Niall! You abandoned us and now you just want to come back in, like nothing ever happened?!" I let out my anger

"You said 'us', Is she mine?" Niall held a shocked expression as he asked about Aileen.

I questioned whether I should tell him. But no matter what he did, he at least deserved to know.

"Yeah, she is." the floor now held my gaze

"She's beautiful." He sighed as though debating what to say next. "I'm sorry."

That's it.

He leaves for five years and all he has to say is 'I'm sorry' ?

"Why did you really come back." I seethed

"Since the day I stepped out of this house, I instantly regretted it. But I was a foolish teenager. I was mesmerized by the attention and fame that I allowed myself to make the worst mistake. I left you. I was scared, (YN)." He spoke

This was unbelievable.

"So what? You think I'm going to welcome you back into our lives? You said you didn't want anything to do with me or the baby. For the past five years you've stuck to that." too say that I was outraged was an understatment, "you don't think I was scared? Niall, I was also a teenager, I had no idea what I was going to do, I've never been more scared in my life." I wiped a tear I didn't even realize had fallen, "but I didn't leave. I stayed and pushed through. Because no matter what, it was my baby!"

He stood there stunned.

"I don't know what to say." He whispered

"You don't have to say anything, I heard you loud and clear the day that you walked out of that door."

"I was stupid!" he screamed, "is that what you want me to say? Because I will. I was stupid and I deserve any kind of anger you have built towards me but don't punish her. She hasn't done anything wrong, I've already missed five years of her life, I don't want to miss anymore!" I looked up and was met with his puffy, tear filled eyes.

I pulled my top lip in between my teeth, hoping to keep my tears from falling, "we've done just fine without you."

"(YN)" he plead. Taking a step closer towards me, "what do I do? Please tell me how I can prove to you that I've changed. All I want to do is be with my daughter." His voice cracked a bit as he took a deep breath in.

"Why? Why now!" I asked, exasperated

"I know its so selfish of me to just want to jump into your lives but I'm trying to mend my ways. I don't want to make anymore mistakes. I've made way to many. All I know is that something told me I had to come find you, and I'm so glad I did." No matter how much I wished I could hate him, I couldn't bring myself to develop such strong emotion.

I groaned as I ran a hand through my hair. She wanted to meet her daddy. This was her chance, but I just wasn't so sure he deserved it.

"I just need to ask you one thing." I spoke as he nodded, hope dancing in his eyes. "Why did it take you five years?"

He sucked in a breath, as though that was the one question he hoped I wouldn't ask.

"Because I was ashamed. I was a f**king stupid 18 year old. For the longest time I've been someone that was immensely idiotic and such a crap excuse for a human." He paused for a second to catch his breath and wipe some loose tears, "I really, really want to be a part of her life. Please give me an opportunity to show you that I'm worthy."

I stared into his eyes, seeing nothing but sincerity.

"You put me through hell," I let out a frustrated sigh, "but you also gave me the greatest thing in my life. I love Aileen, she is my life, my soul, my everything. I know she deserves to know who her dad is, I do." I nodded as I sought the words to say next, "you know what she asked for Christmas?"

"What?" Niall asked as he ran a hand through his hair.

"She asked Santa for the chance to meet her daddy." I took a second to catch my breath, "I was scared to death because I had no idea how I would break it her, Christmas morning, that her daddy said he didn't want anything to do with her." His hopeful smile vanished within seconds, guilt taking over.

"(YN), I--" I held up a finger, motioning for him to stop.

"So just know that I'm doing this for her, not you." I finally let out.

He nodded as I wiped stray tears, walking to go get Aileen, letting him know that I'd be right back.

.

"Aileen, you remember what you asked San at for Christmas?" I asked and she nodded while pressing her lips together.

"Well go say hi to your daddy, honey." I signalled towards Niall

She looked shocked as she ran over to the strange man.

"Daddy?" Aileen questioned.

"Yes. Honey. I'm your daddy." He chuckled as Aileen brought him in for a hug.

I felt the tears build up once again

I couldn't watch.

N I A L L

I felt as her little arms wrapped around me. It was in that instant that I knew what love really felt like.

I would never forgive myself for missing five years of her life.

My daughters life.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw (YN) run into the hallway. It hurt to know that I was the cause of all her pain.

"Daddy, I knew Santa would bring you!" I heard my little girl speak.

I pulled back so i could look at her, "he sure did baby girl, he sure did!" I picked her up in my arms as I found myself never wanting to let go.

. So it didn't turn out as good as I hoped but please let me know if there should be a part 3? I'm actually really in love with this story line so I really hope you guys love it too. Please comment and vote and hopefully ill talk to you guys again in Pt. 3!!
