Niall Horan Child Preferences Book 2

#136 Your daughter asks him why he doesnt shout at her when shes naughty

Niall's POV

"Hey babe" is aid hugging y/n from behind as she made dinner.
I had just gotten back from the studio, the boys and I were currently recording our 7th album.
"Aaliyah was looking for you, she wanted you to play with her, she's in her bedroom" y/n told me.

"Okay I'll go play with her now, where's Ethan?" I asked referring to my 1 year old son.
"Your mum took him out for the day, she asked if Aaliyah wanted to go but she didn't want to" she told me.
"I'm going to Aaliyah now, I love you" I told her kissing her cheek.
"I love you too" she called as I left the room.

I walked upstairs to my 5 year old daughters bedroom.

I knocked lightly on her door.
"Come in mummy!" She called.
I opened the door.
"I'm not mummy!" I said.

She looked towards me and stood up running to me. She jumped into my arms and I picked her up and spun her around placing her on her feet again.
"Daddy!" She said happily.

"A little birdy told me you want to play with me" I said and she nodded grabbing my hand and pulling me to her dolls house.

I sat on the floor with her in front of me and played dolls with her.
"Daddy! You can be yourself!" She said handing me the Niall one direction doll.

"Daddy?" She asked suddenly. "Yeah princess?" I asked.
She stood up and walked to me and sat on my lap. I wrapped my arms around her.

"Why do you never punish me when I'm naughty? Or shout at me daddy?" She asked.
Her question took me off guard.

"Well I'm only going to shout at you if you do really bad things and I'd never hurt you" I told her.
"But why daddy? All my friends from school are shouted at and punished if they're naughty" she said.

It made me think of the friend I had growing up.

"Well, princess, when I was younger I had a friend, her dad abused her, which means he hit her and hurt her a lot" I explained. She gasped.
"That's so mean! Was she okay?" She asked.
"Yeah she was okay, but when I found out that she was hurt by her dad a lot, I made a vow to myself which is a promise to myself. I promised myself that I would never ever ever hurt my daughter no matter what they've done because everybody deserves to be treated like a prince or a princess " I explained.

She hugged me.
"Thank you for not hurting me daddy like your old friends mean daddy" she said.
"You don't need to thank me for not hurting you, princess, I'd never dream of hurting my baby girl" I said smiling.

"I love you daddy" she whispered.
"I love you too princess" I told her kissing her head.
