Niall Horan Child Preferences 3

#6 Daughter's first day of school

Your POV

Niall and I woke up facing each other. I smiled at him and he returned the smile.

We both sat up and I checked the time, 6am.
"We've got a while before she wakes up" I whispered cuddling into his side.
"I can't believe she starts school today, it seems like yesterday we were stuck in hospital" Niall said.
"I know our baby girls not a baby anymore" I whispered smiling if all the memories we already had with her.
"Don't say that, she's still my little baby, but we could always have another" he suggested. I shrugged.
"Maybe, but she'll probably start asking for a sibling soon anyway" I said .

I heard the pitter patter of little feet on the hallway.
"Be prepared to be jumped on" Niall whispered.
Our 4 year old, Aaliyah, came running into our room and jumped on our bed.
"Mummy! Daddy! We need to get ready for school!" She said standing on the bed.
"Aaliyah sit down, I don't want you to fall" I told her and she sat down.
"We still have lots of time before we have to go" I told her.
"Oh okay" she said sitting herself down between Niall and I. She got under the covers and took one of Niall's pillows and one of mine and placed them on top of ran other, then lying down on them.
"You comfy?" Niall asked.
Aaliyah grinned and nodded.

We walked downstairs and I made Aaliyah a bowl of cereal. As she ate the cereal I made sure everything was ready for school.

"I'll help her get ready" Niall said and I nodded taking the empty bowl and washing it.

15 minutes later Niall came downstairs with Aaliyah.
She was wearing a grey skirt, grey knee high socks, a white polo shirt and a blue cardigan with her schools logo on it. She also had on her black , shiny Velcro school shoes.

"You look so cute!" I cooed at my daughter.
"She needs mummy to do her hair!" Niall said walking past into the kitchen to make her lunch for when she's at school.

I did her hair in a braid and added a blue bow.
"Go show daddy" I told her and she ran into the kitchen to Niall.
"Look at me daddy!" She said happily. Niall put the box that contained her lunch in her pastel pink backpack.
Niall turned around and looked at his daughter proudly.
"Wow! You're a big girl now princess!" He said and she nodded smiling.

Niall bent down to Aaliyah's height with her backpack in her hand.
"In your bag, your linch is in your pink box, and for your snack at break you've got an apple and a chocolate bar, okay?" Niall said and she nodded.

He put her backpack on her shoulders and stood up.

We arrived at the primary school and got out of the car. I helped Aaliyah out and then helped her put her backpack on.

She walked between us holding both mine and Niall's hand as we walked her to her classroom.

We reached we classroom and walked in. The teacher came to greet us . We put her bag with the other children's bags as she ran off playing with another little girl and a little boy.

"Hello Mr and Mrs Horan, in Mrs Gray , so today in the morning we will be doing team activities with them so they can make friends and settle in and in the afternoon we will start on writing and spellings" she explained.
"That's perfect" I said.
"She is a little shy, so it might take her a week or two to warm up to the other kids and to her teachers" Niall explained.
"Quite a lot of the younger students joining the school are a little shy, some do grow out of it but some will be shy their whole life" she said and we nodded.

Aaliyah came back to us and we bent down to her height.
She wrapped her arms around me, hugging me.
"I love you mummy!" She said.
"I love you too sweetheart! Have a good day and make lots of friends!" I said and she nodded.
She wrapped her arms around Niall's neck as they hugged.
"I love you princess, have a good day" he told her and she nodded.
"I love you too daddy!" She said and Niall kissed her cheek .
We both stood up and waved saying goodbye and leaving the school.
