Your pov

My 3 year old daughter ,Isla, was upstairs having a nap and Niall was at rehearsals with the boys. He should be home soon.

I heard the door open and Niall enter the house but he didn't yell a loud and happy greeting like he usually would.

He came into the living room and collapsed on the sofa next to me with a sigh.
"Hey babe" he said.
"Where's Isla?" He added.
"She's having a nap, How was rehearsals?" I asked pecking his lips.
"They went well but my knee kept playing up" he said.

He suddenly hissed in pain and squeezed his eyes shut as a tear escaped them.
"It fucking hurts" he whimpered leaning forward and covering his face with his hands.

"Nialler" I whispered worried. I'd never seen him in this much pain because of his knee.
He sat back still in pain. His hands weren't over his face and I could clearly see that he was crying from the pain.

I moved closer to him and started running my hand through his messy blonde quiff.

Niall lifted his leg and rested his foot on the coffee table, it caused him pain moving his knee but once his leg was straight it was a little better.
I put some pillows under his knee to help.

"We really need to get you some more of that cream to help with the pain" I whispered continuing to run my hands through his hair.
He leaned his head closer to me as the tears kept coming.

"Daddy? What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Isla asked.
I don't think she's ever seen Niall crying.

Niall glanced at her.
"Daddy's knee isn't very good as it's hurting him" I told her.
"Can I play with daddy's hair too?"  She asked and I nodded.

She came and sat on my lap and immediately started playing with Nialls hair.
"Daddy has soft hair" she mumbled.

Niall soon fell asleep. He loves people playing with his hair, it relaxes him. His mouth was open slightly as little snores escaped.
He looked so peaceful and I was happy to see him finally resting properly and not in pain.

I started to record Isla because I knew what she was going to do and it's always so sweet and cute when she does it.

"Mwah" she whispered kissing Nialls cheek.
"Goodnight daddy, I hope you have the best nap time, I love you" She said cutely and then started playing with his hair again.

I stopped recording and uploaded it on to Twitter.

@y/n_Horan: @NiallOfficial 's knee was hurting him so Isla being the sweet little girl she is, played with his hair until he fell asleep and then did this. X

"I don't like seeing daddy cry" Isla whispered as she sat on my lap , Niall was next to us still sleeping and his leg was still up.
"I don't like seeing daddy cry either, it makes me want to cry too" I said quietly.

I text the boys to tell them that Niall wouldn't be coming to rehearsals for the next few days because of his knee and they said it's okay and they completely agreed with it.

Isla and I then made a cake that said 'get well soon daddy' on it.
I placed it on the coffee table and Isla went next to Niall.

"Daddy wake up" She whispered.
Niall slowly opened his eyes and gave Isla a small smile.
I thought the pain had gone until he moved slightly and hissed in pain.
"Sorry daddy! I hurt daddy! Sorry for waking you up and making your knee hurt" she apologised nearly in tears.

"Aww c'mere baby girl" Niall whispered opening his arm.
Isla snuggled up to Niall.
"Don't worry princess, you didn't make my knee hurt so don't blame it on yourself. Daddy's knee is just stupid and likes to hurt me a lot" Niall told her.
She nodded.
"Me and mummy made you a cake" she whispered.

Niall looked at the cake and smiled.
"Thank you, what would I do without my 2 favourite girls" He said and I smiled.
"I text the boys saying that you won't be at rehearsals for the next few days, you can't be running around on a stage with that knee and I am not watching you cry again, seeing you cry breaks my heart" I explained.
"Thank you, I love you so much" He said.
"I love you too" I smiled.
