Niall Horan Child Preferences 3

#11 Your daughter is pregnant

Niall and I have been together for 17 years. And I'm that time we have had 3 children together, 15 year old Aaliyah, 9 year old Ethan and 1 year old Isabelle.
You might be wondering why the age gap between our eldest and youngest is so big? Well, 2 years after Niall and I got together when we were 15, I got pregnant. Niall stuck with me and we got our beautiful baby girl. 5 years later, we got married and a year after that we got our handsome little boy. Then, 8 years later we thought we were still pretty young and people our age only just start having kids so we thought we would have another and make our family complete.

Both our daughters are massive daddy's girl, he always does everything with them. He's still extremely close to Ethan too , Niall always takes him to football games and other things.
Usually the house is full of happiness and love but recently it's been full of tension.
Last month our 15 year old daughter announced that she is pregnant. Of course I was extremely mad since she's only 15 but she needs the support. However, Niall handled it really badly and has ignored her since.
It kills me to see two of the most important people in my life completely miserable .

Ethan was at football practice, Isabelle was with Niall and Aaliyah was upstairs .

Aaliyah came trudging down the stairs. She is so upset about Niall ignoring her. She really needs his support and help. My words mean practically nothing to her.

She smiled sadly at me.
"I'm sure he'll come around eventually, I'll talk to him" I said and she just looked at me.
"It's been a month mum, he hates me" she sighed.
She stood up and left the room going back to her bedroom.

Niall came into the room and placed Isabelle in her high chair.

"Niall, you can't ignore her forever" I spoke up.
"I don't want to talk about it" he mumbled while making Isabelle a bottle. He gave Isabelle the bottle of milk.
"Thanks Dadda!" Isabelle said drinking it.

Niall turned around to face me.
"I just don't understand how you're okay with this" he said.
"Obviously I'm disappointed, but at this time she needs support. I know what it's like to be disowned by my parents over this exact thing and I don't want that happening to her, but it seems as if you have disowned her"I said.
He shook his head.
"Of course I've not disowned her, I'd never disown my own daughter, my own baby" he said.
"Well it seems like it, you haven't spoke to her in a month" I told him.
"I..I just can't pluck up the courage to talk to her" he admitted.
"You used to be so much closer, joint by the hip, she did everything with you"  I said.
"I know , I know, it's just I'm disappointed in her, I know we had her young but we were 17, past the age of consent, she's 15, she's bright, beautiful and intelligent , she had her whole life ahead of her , an amazing career, I thought we raised her better" he admitted.
"I'm disappointed too and I know she's disappointed in herself for letting this happen, but she needs our support, you know that whatever I say means practically nothing to her, she needs you Niall, every girl needs their dad, can you try to talk to her? It kills me to see you both so miserable, when you used to be so close" I said.

"It's just, I" he started and leaned back against the kitchen counter, glancing at the roof to blink back noticeable tears.
He looked back at me.
"I look at her, and I still see the little baby girl I could carry in my arms, that depended on me for everything or the little 3 year old with crazy brown hair, makeup smeared around her face and those puppy eyes that made me let her get away with everything. She's not my little innocent baby girl anymore, she's not my little princess that needs me anymore, and that's, that's what kills me the most" he said letting the tears fall.
"Ni, she's still your little girl, and of course she needs you, why do you think she's been so miserable? Every girl needs their dad especially through times like this. I know you're disappointed but at least try to fix your relationship with her?" I asked.

He left the room and I thought for a moment that he'd given up on his daughter but then I heard them.
"I'm sorry daddy! I love you" Aaliyah's voice spoke. "I love you too princess" I heard Niall say.
I poked my head around the door, looking through the hallway and saw father and daughter hugging.
I smiled to myself and went back into the kitchen to my youngest child.
