Niall Horan Child Preferences 3

#18 You find a little girl on the street

Niall and I had been together for 4 years, we had recently gotten engaged and started to plan our wedding.
I knew I wanted to stay with him for the rest of my life.

It was a cold winters day. Me and Niall had recently gotten back from Ireland since we spent Christmas with Niall's family.
It was the 28th of December and it was snowing lightly.

I had jeans, boots and a jumper on as well as a beanie on my head , a warm coat and a scarf.
Niall was wearing jeans, a Christmas jumper, his coat , a SnapBack and some boots.
He also had a scarf but he was carrying that in his right hand as he didn't want to wear it and his left hand was intertwined with my right hand.

"I love how they decorate London during the winter" I said as I walked alongside Niall. It was pretty late so all the lights were on and not many people were around.
"I know, but I hate the weather, it's too cold" he said and I agreed.

"Y/n" Niall asks as I was looking at the ground.
"Yeah?" I asked looking at him.
"There's a little girl sat on the floor over there" he said gesturing to a little girl who looked no more than 4, she had blonde hair and blue eyes and she looked freezing .
"We need to help her" I said and Niall agreed.

We reached her and kneeled down in front of her.
"Hey, are you all alone?" I asked softly.
The little girl nodded.
"I..I ran away from the orphanage b..because they were mean and h..hurt me" she said shivering.
"You're freezing, here" I said taking my coat off and giving it her to wear. Niall wrapped his scarf around her neck too to keep her warm.
"How old are you?" Niall asked.
"I'm 3" she said.
"How about you come with us, okay? We can give you something to eat and you'll be warm and safe" Niall suggested.
"Will you hurt me?" She asked scared.
"Of course not love, I promise" Niall said as she nodded.
He picked her up placing her on his hip and we began to walk back to Niall's Range Rover.
"What's your name?" Niall asked her.
"Aaliyah Grace, I don't have a last name" she mumbled.

Niall placed her in the backseat of the car and strapped her in . We got into the front seats and turned the heat up fully.

"Why are you being so nice to me?" The little girl asked in a small voice.
"Well Aaliyah, everyone deserves to be treated nicely and no one deserves to be left on a street, have you eaten anything today?" I asked her.
"No, usually people just look at me as they walk past" she said sadly.

*****

We reached our house and climbed out of the car. I helped Aaliyah out of the car and we walked into the house.
I picked her up, sitting her on one of the stools at the breakfast bar in the kitchen .
"I'll go find somewhere that sells pyjamas for her" Niall whispered and pecked my lips before leaving.

"Do you want something to eat?" I asked her.
"Yes please" she said.
I made her some soup and toast .
I placed it in front of her and she instantly began eating, I could tell she was hungry.
I felt bad that somebody could disown such a cute little girl, I mainly feel bad on Aaliyah .

Niall came back and sat down next to Aaliyah.
"What are your names?" She asked.
"My name is Niall and that is y/n" Niall told her.
"Can I call you NiNi?" She asked.
"Of course" Niall smiled.

****

We gave Aaliyah a shower and washed her hair and got her changed into a warm onesie that Niall got her.
I did her hair into two braid and we took her into one of the first bedrooms. We tucked her in and said goodnight and she thanked us for helping her which was cute.
"Goodnight, sweet dreams" Is aid as we turned the light off and closed the door.

We went downstairs and into the living room, sitting on the sofa.
"What are we going to do with her? I don't want to send her back to the orphanage" I asked Niall.
He shrugged and stayed silent for a while.
"We could you know adopt her" Niall suggested.
I thought about it for a moment.
"I don't know Niall. It's a big responsibility looking after a three year old, are you ready for the responsibility?" I asked.
"Of course! Come on y/n! She's cute , and we have more than enough room for her, we can redecorate one of the guest rooms, we don't want her to go to the orphanage so why don't we keep her and look after her and raise her?"he said.
"You really want this don't you?" I asked.
"Yes! We aren't ready for a baby yet so why not adopt her?" He said and I smiled.
"Looks like we're adopting her" I said and Niall grinned hugging and kissing me.

****

We had adopted Aaliyah three months ago, she has settled really well and we recently went to Ireland so she could meet Niall's family. She calls Maura and Bobby , grandma and grandpa and she even started calling me and Niall , mummy and daddy.
We redecorated the guest room the way she wanted it to make it fit for a little girl and we took her shopping for lots of clothes and pyjamas.

"Bye love" Niall said kissing my lips.
"Bye bye princess" He said kissing Aaliyah's cheek.
"Bye bye daddy" she said and Niall smiled.
"Bye" I said as he left for an interview.
We had already gone through all the legal papers and she now has Niall's last name, so she is Aaliyah Grace Horan.

Niall's POV

"So Niall, recently there's been rumours that you and your long term girlfriend, y/n , have adopted a little girl?" James asked.
"That's true actually" I said smiling.
"So how did this all come around? Did you go to an orphanage? And when did you adopt her?" He asked.

"Well, around 3 months ago me and y/n were walking around London to see all the lights since it was the middle of winter. Something caught our eye, there was a little girl and she was sat on the floor against the wall shivering. She was cold, dirty and alone.
We stopped and asked if she knew where her parents was but she said she ran away from the orphanage because they were mean" I explained.
"So y/n gave her her coat to wear and I gave her my scarf and we took her to the car and immediately went home with her.
Y/n made her something to eat and I went out to buy some warm pyjamas for her.
Once we get back we showered her and helped her get dressed and took her to one of the guest rooms so she could sleep. We ends downstairs and y/n asked what are we going to die tug her because she didn't want her going back to the orphanage so I suggested we adopt her. She eventually agreed so she now legally our daughter" I explained.

"Well that's amazing that you effectively saved her life, so how old is she?" He asked.
"She's only 3 which is what surprised me, she said that most people that walked past just ignored her" I told him.
