Niall Horan Child Preferences Book 2

#160 A member of his family passes away

Your POV

Niall and I had 3 children together, 12 year old Ethan, 5 year old Isla and 1 year old Isabelle.

"Ethan , look after Isabelle for a minute please" I told him and he nodded.

I walked upstairs and entered mine and Niall's bedroom.

I saw Niall sat at the edge of the bed crying and he doesn't cry much.
"Nialler? Baby what's wrong" I said sitting next to him and bringing him into my embrace.

He just shook his head crying harder.
"Babe, please tell me what's wrong" I said.
He looked up at me with his eyes that were red and puffy from all the crying.

"M..my mum, s..she's died!" He said crying heavier. "I..in a car crash" he sobbed.
"W..what" I said letting the tears fall.
I was so close to Maura we had spent a lot of time together due to me being with Niall. I tenner on mine and Niall's wedding day, which was 8 years ago, during the mother son dance, she told Niall that she is happy he found someone like me.

We stood up hugging as we cried together.
I knew exactly how he felt because I had lost my mother and father due to a car crash nearly 10 years ago. My parents missed our wedding and the births of our children, Bobby walked me down the aisle so I wasn't alone.

"W..we need to tell the kids" he mumbled.

I wiped his tears with my hand, and I wiped mine too.
"Let's go tell them" I said sadly and we walked downstairs into the living room.

Ethan had put Isabelle into her play pen and he and Isla were sat on the sofa together.

"Mum? Dad? What's wrong?" Ethan asked noticing our tear stained faces.

Niall and I sat down on the sofa opposite them and beckoned them over.
Isla sat next to Niall and Ethan sat next to me.

"Mummy? Daddy? Why are you crying?" Isla asked. Ethan and Isla were both worried, they barely ever see me and Niall cry. The last time they saw us cry was a few years ago when we had a big fight.

"Umm, we've had some news" Niall started wiping his tears. I rubbed his back as he plucked up the courage to tell them.

"What's happened?" Ethan asked sensing some bad news.
Niall sucked in a breath as we both tried to hold our tears back.
"I..it's grandma, a..she's been in a car crash and passed away" Niall said letting his tears fall and I did the same.

Ethan immediately began crying.
All of the kids were really close to Maura, especially Isla since she was her first granddaughter.

Niall lifted Isla onto his lap as we all cried together.
"M..mum? Will I be allowed to go to the funeral?" Ethan asked wiping some of his tears which kept falling.
"Yeah, yeah you will" I whispered.

"Daddy, I love grandma , I miss her, was she your mummy" Isla asked while sniffling.
"Yeah, She was my mummy, I love and miss her too" Niall said kissing Isla's cheek.
