Niall Horan Child Preferences 3

#58 Your daughter has cancer

Niall was currently on tour in Europe, and I was back home in Mullingar with our 4 year old daughter, Aaliyah.

Today I was taking Aaliyah to the hospital for an emergency appointment as she's been getting bruises and there is a lump on her thigh that wasn't there before.
I haven't told Niall since he's on tour and I don't want him to worry and ditch the tour.

Maura was coming to the appointment today, we are going to get the results from Aaliyah's tests.

We arrived at the hospital.

A nurse took her to a room for her to play in while me and Maura receive the results.

We sat down across from the doctor.
Maura gave me a small reassuring smile.
"Don't worry I'm sure she's fine" she whispered.

"From the tests we ran on your daughter, Aaliyah Horan, we have discovered that Aaliyah has stage 3 cancer" he told us.

"W..what?" I asked bursting into tears. I heard a sob from Maura.

"Since the canes has spread without going noticed, due to her not having any symptoms, treatment will start immediately and she will be staying in hospital for a while" the doctor informed.

*****

Aaliyah was sleeping on the hospital bed with lots of wires and tubes attached to her.

"I called Niall, I told him Aaliyah's in hospital but I haven't told him why and he said he's booking the first flight home" Maura told me and I nodded letting another tear fall as I held Aaliyah's hand.

Mauras POV

I was outside the hospital room waiting for Niall.
He appeared , walking down the white hallway towards me. He looked stressed, tired and worried.

"Why is she here?" He asked .
I gulped and let a few tears fall.
"Mum? Is she okay? Please tell me" he said getting scared.
"Son, she ...she has cancer" I told him.
He shook his head letting the tears fall.
"You're lying" he whispered his voice cracking. I shook my head and he let a sob escape his mouth.

"C'mere baby" I muttered and engulfed my son in my arms. I rubbed his back.
"What if I lose her mum? I..I can't lose her. I..I love her to much, she's the best thing to ever happen to me apart from y/n...s..she's my little princess" he cried.
I pulled away from the hug and reached up wiping some of his tears away.

"My granddaughter, your little girl is a fighter. She's a Horan, she will fight. She'll get through this. I've not met a stronger little girl than your little girl" I told him .

"C..can I see her?" He asked letting more tears fall. I nodded and lead him into her hospital room.

Niall's POV

I entered the hospital room with my mum behind me. I saw my baby laying on the bed sleeping with tubes and wires attached to her. The sight was heartbreaking and next to the bed was my wife sat staring at our daughter looking miserable.

"Y/n" I said and she snapped her gaze towards me.
"Niall, you're home!" She said standing up and running into my arms. I could feel her tears on my shirt.
