Niall Horan Child Preferences 3

#158 New Year

"Let's get this party started!" Niall said turning some music on in the car as I got in the passenger seat.
He was in the drivers seat and our 3 year old daughter, Isla, was sat in her car seat in the back seat behind me.

"Mummy? Why do we go out and stay up late for new year?" Isla asked cutely.
Niall and I made sure she had a long nap today so that she'd stay awake.
"Well it's a new year and if only becomes new year at 12 which is why we have to stay up late" I explained the best I could.

She went quiet for a while.
"Isla?" Niall asked keeping his eyes on the road.
"Yeah daddy?" She asked.
"I thought you were asleep, are you okay back there?" He asked.
"Yeah, but when will we be at grandmas" she said.
"In about 10 minutes princess" Niall said.
"Who's going to be there Mummy?" She asked.
"Grandma, Grandpa, uncle Greg, Auntie Denise, Theo, Nanny and some of daddy's cousins" I told her .

"Niall don't get too drunk while Isla is here"  I told Niall who had a cup of beer in his hand.
"I won't" He said and I rolled my eyes playfully.

"Greg's being the exact same" Denise said and I chuckled.
"The wonderful perks of marrying a Horan" I joked.
"Where's Isla, I haven't seen her since she ran off with Theo?" She asked.
"They're...other there" I said pointing to where the 5 year old and 3 year old were playing.

We all went outside to begin the countdown.
I put Isla down on her feet as we were now outside.
Niall came over to us.

"10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1" we all said counting down.
"Happy New Year!" We yelled.

Nialls lips were placed on mine as the fireworks started going off.
We kissed for a few seconds before pulling apart.
He rested his forehead against mine.
"Happy New Year Babe, enjoy another year stuck with me" he said and I giggled pecking his lips a few times.
"Eww!" Isla said.

Niall chuckled and picked her up, holding her on his hip.
He ticked her stomach and she squirmed in his arms.
"Daddy! Stop!" She giggled and Niall stopped tickling her.

"Happy New Year Princess" he told Isla and kissed her cheek.
"Happy New Year daddy!" She said .
"Mwah!" She said giving Niall a big kiss on the cheek.
She then leaned towards me while still in Nialls arms.
"Happy New Year Mummy!" She said kissing my cheek.
"Happy new year baby" I said kissing her cheek and chuckling.
She leaned back so she was securely in Nialls arms.
Soon enough she was asleep on Nialls shoulder as little snores escaped her lips.
