Andys POV~

A few days had past, Lily was still in the hospital, I had a show in Wales the next day after missing the Scotland show I knew I had to be there, but I couldn't

'Andy it's Rye, again' Gabby handed me my phone but I just stared at it until the call ended, she sighed 'you have to answer it at some point, they've not heard from you for days'

'I know, I'll call him later' I slid my phone in my pocket

'Dad, you're going to the show tomorrow right?' Lily asked, I looked up at her and smiled

'No darling, I'm staying with you' I replied and her face dropped

'No. I don't want you to, you have to go and perform, even if you come straight back here afterwards you have to go' she said sternly, is got up and kissed her forehead. She was so strong, she knew deep down things could go wrong but she was smiling and keeping positive all day

'Are you sure?' I asked reassuring myself

'Yes. And when you get back, I'll still be here, who knows I might even be at home' she laughed, I saw the fright in her eyes but I pushed past it 'now go pack your things, and come back before you leave' I laughed at how set in her ways she was, everything had to go the way she wanted, I kissed her forehead again and quickly kissed Gabby.

I jumped in Gabbys car back to the house

'Daddy?!' I heard Maisie shout as I opened the door. She ran into me hugging me tight

'Hello you' I knelt down and hugged her. I hadn't seen her for a few weeks, as I hadn't left the hospital since I got there.

'Long time no see' I got up and smiled

'It's been a while' I smiled and hugged Courtney, one of Gabbys friends from Manchester

'I haven't seen you for 19 years?' She questioned

'Must be, oh wait I saw you when I came down to Manchester for a show that time, but only briefly, how have you been?' I asked and we spoke for a bit before I had to start packing, the boys had all tried to call and had text multiple times, I needed to get everything ready before I replied.

'Right baby I have to get off but I'll be back soon and we'll have a fun day out' I picked Maisie up and hugged her so tight

'Is Lily okay?' She asked and I nodded

'She fine, she misses you a lot though' I replied

'When can I see her?' I didn't reply for a minute

'Well how about now?' She jumped in excitement

'Is she allowed to?' Courtney asked and I nodded

'Yeah, after she had her first test anyone can visit' I explained 'I'll get Gabby to text you later'

'Tell her I can look after Maisie whenever just drop her off or I'll come here' she smiled and went to the door 'good seeing you again, don't leave it 19 years this time' she laughed and shut the door, I looked down

'Are we ready?' A huge smile came across her face

'Yes yes yes!' She ran out the door and into the car.

The whole journey she was asking questions about Lily like if she had grown taller or if she remembered her

'Maisie of course she remembers you, it's only been 4 days silly' she laughed and continued to ask questions. Not long after we pulled in and I helped her out the car

'This is a big place' she said looking around the building, she held my hand and we walked over to the entrance

'Now this is a big place so stay with Daddy and be good okay' she nodded and we walked towards Lily's room

'Can I run in and surprise them?' She looked so serious, it was cute

'Yeah, on 3. 1...2...3' I opened the door and she ran in

'SURPRISEEE' she said making both Lily and Gabby jump

'Maisie!' Lily smiled and she lifted her to sit on the bed

'Hi mummy' she said before her and Lily started a conversation, I say next to Gabby

'Thanks for bringing her, I think Lily needs something to take her mind off it all' She rested her head on my shoulder

'She'll be okay' I whispered and kissed her head, knowing she was worried something bad would happen 'Maybe I should stay here'

'No we'll be fine, you have to go Andy, it's your tour, and could be the last shows you ever do, you have to do this' she kissed me and I sighed knowing she was right. After a while I stood up

'Okay, I better get going, I'm gonna keep my phone on so promise me if anything happens you text or call' Lilly nodded

'Promise' I went over and hugged her and Maisie and gave Gabby one finely kiss goodbye.

I had messaged the tour manager and luckily he was till in the hotel, so he picked me up on his way and we drove to Wales

'How is she then?' He asked

'She's okay. Everything will be fine' I replied

'I think you're so good for doing this, I wouldn't be able to if it was me'

'Well I was going to stay, but I have one stern daughter' I laughed 'she wouldn't let me stay'

The drive took a few hours and once we arrived it was just getting dark

'I'm not sure what room they're in but this is the hotel' I hopped out the van and made my way inside. Luckily I saw Mikey in the reception,

'Andy!' He came over and gave me a hug 'man I thought you weren't going show up' He said

'I couldn't miss our tour, where's everyone else?' I asked and Mikey lead us to his and Ryes room where everyone else was.

'Boysss' I walked in and everyone got up hugging me

'I'm so glad you're back, how come you didn't answer any of our calls?' I pulled my phone from my pocket and realised they had all called me a few times

'I didn't even hear it ring, and I was busy at the hospital sorry lads' I sat down

'So is she okay?' Brook asked

'She should be, but they're not 100% on the baby, they need to do a few more tests' I replied and Jack frowned

'Wait there's something wrong with the baby? Why didn't you call and tell me, it's my grandchild to, and does Sam know?' He got defensive

'Jack I was with my daughter, I didn't even think about calling you, I'm sorry, you know now' I said and be laughed

'Yeah and that makes everything better' he stormed out and slammed the door behind him.
