Child's Age-6 months

I was stood in the line for the women's bathroom at the airport.
Yes, the women's bathroom.
The men's bathroom has no changing table. So, this is the only place to change Isla's nappy.
I was at the airport because we are going i America for a month so I can work on the album.

"Sorry about this, there's no changing table in the men's" I said to an old woman behind me who was looking at me suspiciously.
"That's okay dear, no need to worry" she said politely and I smiled .

Age-1

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Isla, happy birthday to you!" Me, my mum, my dad, my brother, Denise and Theo dang to Isla who was in her high chair.
She was giggling and I placed the cake in front of her.
"Blow at the candle!" I said in a baby voice and she blew the candle out.
"Happy birthday princess" I said kissing her cheek.
"You've done such an amazing job Niall, you're such a great dad to her and you are such a strong minded person" my mum told me and I smiled hugging her.

Age-3

"Daddy! We need to hurry up or we will be late!" Isla said waking me up.
I checked the time. 6am.

"Princess it's 6am we still have 2 and a half hours" I told her chuckling at her excitement as I sat up in my bed.
"Okay, let's cuddle then!" She said and jumped onto my lap.
I smiled.
"You're definitely a Horan" I said as we cuddled in bed.

One it got to 7 we got out of bed and I quickly got dressed.
I then helped Isla get into her school uniform.
I made her some breakfast and helped her brush her teeth.
"How do you want your hair baby?" I asked her.
"A braid" She said sitting in between my legs on the sofa.
I did her hair into a fish tail braid .
I put her coat on her and then she put her backpack on.
"There's my big girl! All ready for school" I said smiling proudly.
She smiled and giggled as we left the house to take her to school.

Age-11

"You look so grown up princess" I said as I looked at Isla who was in her new school uniform as she was starting high school.
She smiled.
"Dad, I'm nervous" she said.
"Don't be babe, you'll make lots of new friends" I said hugging her .
"You'll have a great day" I said pecking her cheek.
"Now shall we get you to school?" I asked and she nodded smiling.

Age-13

"Princess, what's wrong?" I asked knocking on the bathroom door.
Isla has been in the bathroom for a while.
She stayed quiet.
"Isla , come on baby, I can't help you if you don't speak to me" I said knocking again.
"I-uh, have started my period" she said.
"Don't worry princess, I'll go to the shop and hug you some things and some chocolate and we can watch a movie together, hows that sound?" I asked.
"Great, Thanks Dad" She said .

I arrived back home with a bag of supplies for Isla.
I knocked on the bathroom door and she opened it slightly taking the bag.

After she finished she came out and I pulled her into my arms.
"I'm sorry I can't help you with these things" I said.
"Don't worry dad, you're the best, I couldn't ask for a better dad" she said and I smiled.
"Now let's go watch some movies and stuff our face with chocolates" I said and she grinned.
"My stomach hurts though" she said regarding the chocolates.
"Don't worry, I'll rub your stomach and you can use a hot water bottle" I told her.

Age-14

"You never let me do anything!" She screamed.
"I am not having you dating and going out with a 16 year old boy!" I yelled.
"Why not! He loves me!" She shouted.
"He doesnt! He's using you! He's just going to break you're heart! I'm trying to protect you because I love you" I said.
"Well I hate you!" She screamed and left the house slamming the door.

I sighed and sat down on the sofa putting my head in my hands.

Do checked the time, 11pm, and still no sign of Isla.

The door opened and I heard a sob.
I rushed to the door and saw Isla close it .
She looked up and noticed me , she was crying a lot.

I led her to the living room and sat her down on the sofa and I sat next to her.

"What's wrong princess?" I asked her wrapping an arm around her shoulder.
"I-you were right daddy! He was using me!" She cried.
"See I was only looking out for you. I know what's best for you. You may not like it at times but I do know what you deserve" I said and kissed her cheek.
"I'm sorry dad, for everything, I don't hate you, I love you" She said.
"I know you don't hate me princess and I love you too" I said.
"Let's get you to bed" I said.
I picked her up bridal style and carried her upstairs.
I felt her head on my chest as she fell asleep.
I smiled down at her .
I entered her bedroom and placed her on her bed.
I took her shoes off her and put them on the floor before tucking her in.
"Goodnight my little princess, I love you" I whispered kissing her cheek.
I left the room checking back on her once more before turning the light off and closing the door.

Age-18

"So , what do you think of him?" Isla asked as soon as her boyfriend left.
"He's great, and I know by the way he looks at you that he loves you. He's definitely the one" I told her smiling.
"So you approve?" She asked and I nodded smiling.
She wrapped her arms around my neck.
"Thank you thank you thank you! I love you!" She said excitedly kissing my cheek repeatedly.
"I love you too princess but please calm down!" I laughed.
"Sorry its just that you've never approved of any boyfriend before!" She said.

Age-24

"Wow, you look gorgeous princess" I said as I saw my daughter in her wedding dress.
Today was her wedding day. Her last day of being a Horan.
A tear escaped my eye looking at her.
She had grownup into a beautiful young woman and I couldn't be prouder.
"Dad don't cry, you'll make me cry!" She said.
She hugged me and I wrapped my arms around her kissing her cheek.
"I'm so proud of you, don't forget me" I whispered.
"I could never forget you, we will come visit all the time, I love you daddy" she whispered kissing my cheek.

"Now, let's go so you can get married" I said pulling away from the hug.
She smiled.
"My last few minutes of being a Horan" She said.

I walked her down the aisle and once we reached the alter I placed her hand in her fiancés hand.
"Take care of her, treat her how she's been treated her whole life, like a princess, don't hurt her" I whispered to him.
"I will and I don't dream of hurting her" he told me and I smiled going to sit in the front row in between my mum and dad.

"You've done a great job Nialler, she's become such a gorgeous and polite young woman" my mum said and I smiled watching the ceremony.

Age-25

"Meet your grandson and granddaughter, James and Ava" Isla said handing me her newborn twins.
I smiled as I held the newborns.
"Hey babies,I'm your grandpa, and I am going to spoil you both so much, you two are gorgeous" I whispered and kissed their heads.
Ava squirmed and opened her eyes.
"They have the blue Horan eyes" I said and Isla smiled.
"I know you're tired princess, get some rest and I'll watch these adorable babies" I said .
Isla smiled.
"Thanks dad" she whispered drifting to sleep.

My life has had its ups and downs but my proudest accomplishment is Isla. I've raised her on my own since the day she was born and I've done a good job of it too.

omfg I love this imagine! It is definitely the best I've wrote! I'm so proud of it!
