Niall Horan Child Preferences 3

#76 You argue and scare the children

It was 1am, my 3 children, 13 year old Aaliyah, 8 year old Ethan and 1 year old Isabelle were sleeping upstairs.
Niall had recently gotten home from tour and he's mainly been going out and coming home late and drunk.

I decided to wait up for him again.
I heard my eldest child come downstairs.
She was wearing her dohnut pyjamas and looked very tired.

"Mum, just go to bed" She mumbled.
"I'm waiting up for your dad" I told her.
"Don't, he's not worth losing sleep over. You've hardly slept since he got home because you've been waiting up for him" she said.
"Just go to bed love I'll come in a minute" I said and she trudged back upstairs.

****

The door opened and Niall stumbles in.
"W-what are you doing up?" He asked sobering up a little.

"I was waiting for you!" I spat.
"Don't you remember promising me this morning that we'd go out to dinner once you get home from the studio?" I asked.
"Oh shit, I forgot, I'm so sorry" he said.
"We can go tomorrow" he said.

"No Niall, I'm fed up! You got home from tour a week ago and you've spent one day with me and the kids, one day! The rest you've been at the studio and then going out drinking with the boys who you've been with for the past 6 months!" I yelled.
"Well I'm sorry I have a life!" He shouted.
"Yes you have a life! I'm not saying that you can't go out! But you have 3 children! And those 3 children should come before anything and anyone!" I yelled.
"They do!" He yelled.
"Really Niall? Do they? I'm sure the other day you promised Aaliyah and Ethan that you'd take them out! But did you? Of course you didn't you went out drinking with the lads!" I said.
"They were so upset Niall! But obviously that doesn't matter, does it?" I yelled.
"Just shut the fuck up y/n! If I want to go out and drink everyday, I will! I don't give a fuck about what you think and I definitely do not give a shit about the kids and what they think!" He shouted at the top of his voice.

"You don't care about the kids?" I asked softly.
Niall was about to say something before we heard a voice from the doorway of the living room.

"Dad? I guess I was right, you really don't care" Aaliyah said softly as a tear escaped her eye.
"Aaliyah I-" Niall started but Aaliyah shook her head and ran back off upstairs.

"You've really fucked everything up now Niall. Good luck getting her to forgive you" I spat.
"Shut the fuck up y/n!" He yelled angrily.
"No! I'm standing up for my children!" I yelled.
"There my kids too and like I said before shit the fuck up!" He yelled loudly.

I heard my youngest child crying through the baby monitor.
"Well down you stupid fuck!" I spat before running upstairs and going into the nursery.

"Shh baby" I said picking up my 1 year old.

I walked downstairs with her and soothed her.

I sat her down on the sofa and sat next to her.
Niall looked at Isabelle and smiled slightly.

"Just thought I'd let you know, that I do care about my kids, there my whole world" He said.
"If you did you wouldn't have said you don't give a damn about them" I said.
"You know what y/n? Fuck you! Seriously! If all we are going to do is fight we may as well get a divorce! It'll be better for both of us!" He yelled.

"No!" Aaliyah suddenly yelled coming into the room.
Her face was tear stained since she had been crying because of what Niall said.
But a new tear made its way down her pale cheeks at the thought of us getting a divorce.

"Y-you both love each other you can't divorce! That's not what people who love each other do!" She cried.
Isabelle was now asleep on the sofa and Niall was sat on the other sofa with his head in his hands.

We stayed silent.
"Mum? Dad? You aren't actually thinking about this- are you?" She sobbed.
Niall stood up and pulled her into his arms. She hugged back and cried into his chest.
"Of course not princess, don't worry and please don't cry, I love you so much" He whispered.
"I love you too daddy" she whispered.

"But make it up to Mum, apologise and stop drinking for her,for us" She said. Our daughter was very intelligent and was good at solving any problems.

Niall walked over to me and engulfed me in a hug and I hugged back.

"I'm so sorry babe, I love you so so much and I promise I'll make it up to you and the kids" he said.
"I love you too Nialler, I forgive you" I whispered and he smiled giving me a long kiss on the lips.

"Now how about we all go to bed" Niall suggested and we nodded.
He carefully picked out sleeping baby up and held her .

We all walked upstairs.
"Goodnight, I love you both" Aaliyah said.
"We love you too princess" Niall said kissing her on the forehead.
" sweet dreams, I love you" I said kissing her cheek before she went into her bedroom.

We walked into the nursery and Niall placed Isabelle int he cot and tucked her in.
"Goodnight baby girl,I love you" Niall whispered and kissed her little forehead.
"I love you,Goodnight baby" I said kissing her forehead.

I climbed into bed as Niall stripped so he was left in his boxers.
He climbed into bed with me and pulled me into him so my head was against his chest.

"I love you babe" he whispered.
"I love you too Niall" I said pecking his lips before we both fell into a peaceful sleep.
