#62 Your little girl is sick

Niall's POV

Y/n left for a business trip yesterday so I am home looking after our 3 year old daughter , Aaliyah, this week.

My mum was currently at our house. She came for dinner and she stayed a little longer because Aaliyah wanted her to.

We were sat on the sofa in the living room while Aaliyah played with her toys on the floor.

"So how long is y/n away for?"
"A week, she gets back this Friday" I told her.
"Daddy I feel yucky" Aaliyah muttered.
"You feel sick?" I asked and she nodded.
"I'm just gonna go give her some medicine" I told my mum who nodded.

"C'mon princess" I said as I walked into the kitchen with her following.
I opened the cupboard and got out the children's medicine and I got a spoon from the drawer. I read the label which said she could only have one spoonful.
I poured the medicine on the spoon and held it to Aaliyah's mouth.
She opened her mouth and I gave her the medicine. She made a face and I put the medicine away and the spoon in the sink.
"Eww" she mumbled and I chuckled.

"I better get home to your dad, I've left him with Theo" My mum said and I nodded.
Once we got to the door I hugged her and she kissed my cheek and I kissed her cheek.
"See you soon mum, I love you" I said.
"I love you too son" she said.
She bent down to Aaliyah's height and hugged her and kissed her cheek.
"Bye Bye Aaliyah, I love you" she said.
"Bye grandma! I love you too" Aaliyah said.

"Do you feel better princess?" I asked as Aaliyah was sat on my lap watching Peppa Pig.
"No" she mumbled cuddling into my chest.
"Why baby? What's wrong?" I asked.
"Feel yucky, more than before" she muttered.
I would've given her more medicine but she had some not long ago.
I checked the time and it was 9pm.

"How about we give you a bath and we can go to bed" I suggested and she nodded. She opened her mouth to speak but threw up all over the floor.

"I'm sorry daddy" she sobbed.
"Don't worry it isn't your fault, go wait upstairs while I clean this up and we can give you a bath" I told her and she nodded going upstairs.

I quickly cleaned the sick up before it starts to smell and went upstairs to Aaliyah's room.
She wasn't there but I heard her throwing up in the family bathroom.

"Aww my poor baby" I mumbled as I bent down next to her and held her short brown hair back.

Once she finished I smile apologetically at her. I hate seeing her When she's sick and a lot of the time she cries when she's been sick. She looked very pale and tired.
"Let's give you a nice warm bath" I said and she nodded.

I quickly ran her a bath with some bubbles.
I took her clothes off her and lifted her into the bath. I knelt down at the side of the bath.
I let her play for a few minutes before washing her hair.
I washed her hair and lifted her out the bath and wrapped her in a towel.

I carried her into her bedroom and I put her on her bed.
I got out some pink pyjamas for her . I put her in a pull up since she still has accidents at night and the I put her into her pyjamas.

She climbed into her bed and I tucked her in.
"Bedtime story?" I asked and she shook her head.
"Too tired" she muttered.
"Okay baby, goodnight, I love you" I said kissing her forehead which was quite warm but not worryingly warm.
"Night night, I love you daddy" She replies and closed her eyes.
I turned her night light on and the main light off. I left her room, leaving the door open slightly.

I went into mine and y/n's bedroom and I got changed into some sweats, I didn't bother with a shirt.

I climbed into bed and fell asleep instantly.

"Daddy" I was woken up to Aaliyah poking me. I opened my eyes and saw her crying. I quickly sat up pulling her up onto the bed and on my lap.
I checked the time and it was 2:45am.

"What's wring princess?" I asked.
"Feel yucky again, I was sick in the toilet" she said.
"Well done for being sick in the toilet , do you wanna sleep with me?" I asked.
She nodded.
"Cuddles?" She asked.
I nodded.
"And we can cuddle to make you feel better"

I lied down with her lied on my chest and my arms wrapped around her.
"Night night baby girl, get well soon" I whispered kissing her cheek and we both fell asleep.
