Niall Horan Child Preferences 3

#166 You die and he has to tell your children

Nialls pov

Y/n was on a business trip but she text me 20 minutes ago saying that she was boarding her flight to come home.

I was home with our 13 year old daughter, Isabelle. Our 7 year old son and 3 year old daughter, were at school. Isabelle wasn't at school because she is still on half term break.

"Isabelle, get ready for football practice" I told my eldest daughter.
"Okay, I'll be 5 minutes" she said.
I had taught Isabelle how to play football when she was younger and since then she's loved it.

My phone began to ring and I pulled it out my pocket. I frowned when I noticed it was an unknown number .

I answered it anyway.

"Hello?" I said.

"Yes this is Mr Horan, yes my wife was on flight 658, What's happe-Oh god!"

I broke down into tears and sobs.
She's gone, my wife, the love of my life, she's gone.

"Hey dad I'm re-  dad!? What's wrong!?" Isabelle asked frantically.

"It's your mum, s-she, the plane crashed" I told her .
"What?" She sobbed.
"I'm sorry baby" I said pulling her into a hug.
She cried into my chest.

"B-but what will we do!? You're always working and going on tour. You won't have time for us" she asked frantically.
"Princess calm down, I'll spend less time at the studio and you three will come on tour with me. Right now you three are my priority"

My mum arrived with Ethan and Isla.

"Niall? Isabelle? What's wrong you look like you've been crying" my mum asked worried.
Ethan and Isla went straight into the living room to watch cartoons.
Isabelle let out another sob and I pulled her into me, hugging her.
My mum looked at her and then back at me.
"Y/n-h-her plane c-crashed. She didn't make it" I said letting a tear escape my eye.
Tears fell from my mums eyes and she engulfed me and Isabelle in a hug.
"Do the other two know?" She asked and I shook my head.

"I-I don't know how to mum" I whispered.
"It's bad enough seeing Issy cry, I-i don't want to see them upset" I admitted while still having my arms around Isabelle.

"Niall, baby, i know what you're going through is hard, but they deserve to know, she's their mum, you go tell them and I'll stay with Isabelle" she said softly and I nodded sniffling.

I went into the living room and saw just Ethan.
"Where's Isla?" I asked .
"Upstairs, what's wrong Dad you look like you've been crying" he said .
I sighed sadly and sat down next to him putting an arm around his shoulders.

"Well uh-do you know how I said that mum was on her way h-home?" I asked him and he nodded.
"Well buddy, the um plane crashed and"
"She didn't make it" I whispered.

"N-no! Youre lying!" He screamed as tears escaped his eyes.
"I wish I was" I sobbed.
"No!" He sobbed.

I engulfed him in my arms and he cried into my chest.
"I'm sorry" I whispered kissing his head.
He escaped my arms and ran upstairs locking himself in his bedroom.
I knew he just wanted to be alone.

Isla came back into the room.
"Daddy!" She said happily and ran to me.
"Hi princess" I said trying to sound cheerful but she could see right through my act.
"Daddy why you upset?" She asked.

I sat down on the sofa and pulled her into my lap.
"Something has happened to Mummy" I said softly trying to hold my tears in.
"Can we go see her?" She asked .
I shook my head as a tear escaped.
"M-Mummy can't come back sweetie" I said.
Her little face fell and she looked confused.
"I'm not gonna see mummy again?" She asked sadly.
"I'm afraid not baby" I said sadly.

Her face changed and she burst into tears leaning forward into my chest.
These next few months are going to be the hardest months of my life.
