Niall Horan Child Preferences 3

#84 Hurricane Ophelia

Your POV

"How the heck are we supposed to go get Amelia?" I asked Niall as I looked outside the window. Hurricane Ophelia had hit and all schools were shutting so the kids would be sent home early but everyone's been advised to stay indoors and avoid car journeys.
"We could walk but I don't want to take Ethan out in this" Niall said gesturing to our 6 month old son.
"I could go get her and you stay here with him" He suggested.

"Okay but you'll have to go now if you're walking" I said.
"I know, see you soon, I love you" He said as he put his coat and shoes on.
"I love you too, keep yourself and Amelia safe" I said and he nodded.
"Where's her hat and scarfs and everything?" He asked.
I bent down pulling a box out which contained hats, scarfs, gloves and everything.
"Thanks" Niall mumbled as he got out Amelia's matching set that contained a white fluffy hat, white flowers and a white scarf.
"Which coat does she have with her?" He asked.
"It was sunny this morning so she only has her cardigan, so take her coat" I said giving Niall our daughters pale pink coat.

Niall's POV

I arrived at the school Amelia goes to. I walked into the nursery part and into her classroom.
There were a few kids left to be picked up, Amelia being one of them.
"Daddy!" Amelia cheered and ran to me.
"Hey princess" I said .

"As you probably know, because of how bad the storm is quite a few schools around Ireland have shut. We are expecting there to be a power cut and as the storm gets worse some damage to the school. So it will probably be closed for the next few days. So I hope this doesn't cause any inconvenience" her teacher, Miss Rose explained.
"Thank you for letting me know, how was she when the world first hit because she tends to end up crying when there's a bad storm or large amount of rain and dark skies" I asked.
"She's been completely fine. She was a little scared when the storm first hit because it was so unexpected but most of the children were scared at the time" Miss Rose said and I nodded.

I bent down and helped Amelia put her coat on. I then put her hat, gloves and scarf on her.
Amelia waved bye to her teachers and then we left the school, beginning the 15 minute walk home.

She was gripping my hand tightly, I knew she was scared.
"Daddy am I gonna fly off?" She asked looking up at me scared.
"No princess" I said.
"Can you carry me daddy. I don't like walking in the wind (😂sorry)" She said shyly.
"Of course Baby, no need to be shy!" I chuckled as I picked her up holding her on my hip.
She wrapped her arms around my neck and I knew that she felt safer being carried with How windy it was.

I had Ethan asleep in my arms while Amelia was cuddling into my side and y/n was cooking dinner.
I stood up and laid Ethan down in his play pen .

I sat back down and Amelia crawled onto my lap and y/n came into the room sitting next to me.
"You know, the name Ophelia is actually really nice" she said.
"If we have another daughter, she will be called Ophelia!" She added.
I looked at her strangely.
"Okayyy...But wouldn't it sound stupid , Amelia and Ophelia?" I asked and she shrugged.

Suddenly the power went out and it became very dark.
"Daddy, Mummy" Aaliyah
whimpered crawling into my lap. She also hated the dark.
"Don't cry princess" o chuckled wiping her tears. I couldn't see anything very well but I could still sort of see.

"I'll go get some candles" I said going to stand up.
"No daddy!" Amelia said quickly so I sat back down.
"Should we just use my phone instead?" I asked and she nodded.
I took my phone out of my pocket and turned the torch on and then gave my phone to Amelia.

"Mummy, what's the storm called? You said it has a name" Amelia said.
"It's called storm Ophelia , love" y/n told her.
"That sounds like my name, that sound like Amelia daddy which is my name daddy " she said excitedly.
"I know your name is Amelia, I picked it darlin'" I said chuckling.
"Really? Why didn't mummy pick it? Why did you pick it?" She asked.

"Well when you were in mummy's tummy before we even knew you were a girl we made a deal. The deal was that if you was a boy, mummy would pick your first name and I'd pick your middle name and if you was a girl, which you are, I'd pick your first name and mummy would pick your middle name" I explained to her.

"Ohh, who picked my last name?" She asked and y/n and I chuckled at her naivety.
"Well most little girls and boys get their daddys last name. My last name is Horan that's why you're last name is Horan. And grandpa Bobby, who is my dad , his last name is Horan too" I said.

"Why is mummy's last name Horan?" She asked.

"Well, when a boy and a girl gets married the girl usually takes the boys last name , so she doesn't have her daddy's last name anymore she has her husbands last name.
Mummy's last name used to be y/l/n but now it's Horan because me and mummy got married"I explained.

"So when I get married I won't be a Horan?" She asked.
"You're last name won't be Horan, but you'll always be a Horan no matter what, but don't worry about getting married that's a long long time away"
