Niall Horan Child Preferences 3

#8 Your daughter calls him daddy

Niall and I have been dating for 2 and a half years. I introduced my Now 3 year old daughter, Isabelle, and Niall around 7 months into the relationship.
Isabelle is a shy person so I didn't know if she would warm up to Niall straight away, but she took an immediate liking to him.
She never knew her dad since he left me when I told him I was pregnant so she looks up to Niall as a father figure and he treats her like she was his own.
I told Niall about Isabelle as soon as we started dating because I don't want secrets in our relationship and neither does Niall.
Me, Niall and Isabelle have lived together for the past year. Niall asked us to move in and of course I said yes as I would get to spend more time with Niall as well as spending lots of time with Isabelle.

Niall and I were sat on the sofa as Isabelle was sat on the floor playing with her princess dolls.
She lied down on the floor holding the dolls above her head.
"Princess? What are you doing?" Niall asked looking at her weirdly as she was lied down on the floor.
She looked at Niall and shrugged sitting up again.
She put the dolls down and went to Niall, climbing onto his lap.
He wrapped his arm around her so she wouldn't fall.
"What's up?" He asked since she was being quite quiet.
"NiNi?" She asked.
"Hmm?"
"Are you my daddy? I want you to be my daddy" she said. He glanced at me, as if for approval, I nodded and tears sprung to my eyes, Niall had been the perfect father figure to her and I know she loves him so much, as does Niall with her.
"If you want me to be your daddy, I'm fine with that" Niall told her.
"I love you daddy" she said leaning against his chest. Niall looked at me smiling and a tear escaped his eye.
I know that he's been waiting for her to call him daddy.
"I love you too princess" he said.

"Daddy? Why are you crying?" Isabelle asked noticing Niall's tears.
"I'm happy to be your daddy that's all!" He said hugging her.
