Niall Horan Imagines

Surprise!

"Where's Dad?" Your daughter's voice startled you, causing you to jump in your seat. She giggled a little at your reaction before crossing the room to sit on the ledge by the window, staring outside at the empty driveway.

You glanced at the clock and said, "That's a good question. He's usually home by now, isn't he?" You tried not to make anything of it, but the fact that your daughter was alarmed had you on edge, too. Niall never stayed out later than he said he would, especially now that he had a family waiting at home for him. And if he ever needed to be gone longer than he expected, he'd make sure to send you a text or let you know, somehow, that he'd be home a little later. You picked up your phone from the spot beside you, only to confirm that there were no new messages or missed calls from your husband.

"You should call him," Your daughter suggested, swinging her legs. She continued to watch outside, waiting for her dad's car to pull up. 

Slowly, as time continued to pass, you and your daughter ate a lonely and quiet dinner, watched some television, and now she was almost ready to head to bed for the night. And Niall still wasn't home. You were loading the dishwasher for the night and your daughter was upstairs in the bathroom, when the door finally opened and Niall strolled in. "Hey!" He greeted you, catching sight of you as he shut the door. He had a black guitar case in his hands, and this was strange to you, because you didn't remember him taking his guitar with him to work that morning. He kicked his shoes off and kept a hold on the guitar case while making his way to you in the kitchen. Pressing a kiss to your forehead, he mumbled, "What's goin' on?"

"Maybe you should ask yourself that," You angrily snapped, averting your eyes toward the clock. Niall followed your gaze as you added, "You should've been home hours ago, Niall. Do I even want to know what you were doing?"

"Oh, babe," Niall casually said, turning his eyes to you, "I have a few surprises for my favorite girls. This one took me longer than I thought it would." He motioned toward the guitar case.

"You could've called me or something," You told him, "I've been worried about you, this whole time. And your other favorite girl has been asking me about you all night. You have no idea how many times I've heard 'Where's Dad?' tonight."

Niall smiled sheepishly and said, "Sorry, love. I'll call you next time. It's a surprise, though, so that's why I didn't want to tell you. I didn't want you to start asking me questions because then I wouldn't be able to surprise you and that was my plan." You rolled your eyes and puckered your lips. Getting the hint, Niall giggled and planted a wet kiss on your lips before asking, "Is she upstairs?"

You nodded and followed behind Niall as he climbed the stairs with the guitar case. It was then that you realized what the surprise was. You and Niall patiently waited outside the bathroom door until your daughter emerged, grinning widely at her dad. "Finally!" She joked, "Where have you been?!"

"I was gettin' somethin' for you, princess. Close your eyes," He said, and she immediately obeyed. Niall moved the case from behind his back and demanded, "Open 'em." Your daughter did as she was told, gasping when she spotted it. She took the case in her hands and looked up at Niall, as if waiting for permission to open it. He nodded and she unclasped the case, revealing a brand new guitar, personalized just for her.

"Oh my god!" She exclaimed, plucking the instrument from its case. As she examined it, she found that her name was engraved in the back of the neck. It was beautiful polished and fit her perfectly. She threw herself in Niall's arms, saying, "Thank you so much, Dad!"

She giggled in excitement and asked, "You're gonna teach me how to play it, right?"

"Of course," Niall smiled, glancing at you. Turning back to his daughter, he said, "Why don't you take this in your room and try it out? I gotta give Mommy her surprise now." She grabbed the guitar and nearly ran to her bedroom, plopping down on her bed and gave the strings a few hearty strums.

Niall smiled in content and took your hand, bringing it to his lips. Nodding toward your bedroom, he said, "After you, my queen."

"Ooh, queen ?!" You giggled, "I could get used to that one."

He laughed and playfully smacked your bum, earning a squeal from you. He shut the door by pressing his back against it, before pushing himself off. You sat on your bed and eagerly watched him as he crossed the room to you. A smirk played on his lips while he sat next to you, his thigh pressed to yours. Inside of a grocery bag, Niall pulled out a smaller Victoria's Secret bag and handed it to you. Your shoulders fell and you mumbled, "Niall..."

"Shh," He whispered, pressing a finger to your lips to silence you. "Just open it," He added, slowly letting his hand slide down the front of your body. Your whole body tensed at his touch and you had to control yourself long enough to open the bag. 

You found a green lingerie set inside, blushing as you held it in your hands. "Okay, it's more of a present for me than it is for you, but still... do you like it?" Niall said, placing a hand behind you so he could lean even closer to you.

You pecked Niall's lips and whispered, "Thank you, baby. I'm saving it for St. Patrick's Day, though."

"What?!" He squeaked, before whining, "Nooo! (Y/N), please! I can't wait that long!"

"Sure you can," You said as you stood from the bed. Stopping in the doorway, you turned back to your frustrated husband to wink and say, "Now if you'll excuse me, I need to finish the dishes. Unless you want to?"

**Haha Nialler thought he was gettin' lucky!! Anyway, after reading everyone's feedback, I've concluded that y'all really love daddy Niall! So there's some more for you, and I'll remember to write more in the future. I hope you guys liked this one, though! :)**
