Addison's POV

I hummed to myself as I dusted underneath the T.V. I was so bored. I wished I had gone on the walk with Niall and Ivy.

I decided to turn on music. I opened my Spotify and went to my favorite playlist. (a/n i will actually make her playlist and put a link to it if you want to listen to it) The first song that played was Little Lion Man by Mumford and Sons. I played air guitar with the duster, having the time of my life.

"And it was not your fault, but mine!" I sang at the top of my lungs. "And it was your heart on the line!"

I jumped over to the coffee table. "I really f-" I was interrupted from my moment when my phone rang.

Niall.

I answered the phone and held it up to my ear. "Hello?"

I heard a voice in the background. "I don't know, Derick," Niall replied back to the voice frantically.

"Hello," I repeated.

"Hello," Niall's voice was shaking.

"You okay?" I asked him.

"No," Niall said. "No, no no, nothing is okay!" Niall yelled through the phone, making me cringe.

"Niall, calm down. Tell me what's wrong," I attempted to soothe him.

"She's lost," Niall cried.

I was confused. "What?"

"Ivy, I can't find her," Niall sobbed.

My heart dropped.

"Niall, where are you?"

"Downtown, by the pond,"

"I'm on my way," I said as I grabbed my keys and left the house.

Niall's POV

I paced around, up and down the street, calling out for Ivy.

How could I be so stupid? So clueless? Those were the only thoughts that swirled through my head.

"Niall!" I heard someone call me. I looked up to see Addison, fully decked out in red and black plaid fuzzy pajama pants, a loose pink crop top, and my slippers.

She ran over to me and embraced me tightly. When we let go, she asked where we had last seen her.

"The pond," I answered regretfully.

"The pond!?" Addi exclaimed. "Niall, she could have drowned!"

I looked down. "I know, I know!"

Addison looked around. She looked back at me, eyes bright. "Do you think anyone saw you with her?"

I nodded. "Of course! People all around here,"

Addi pondered for a moment. "Paps?" My eyes widened.

There were paps. That's it!

I looked around to see if I saw any.

"Paps!" I yelled. "Hey paparazzi!" I hoped to gain attention. Nobody came up, just weird looks from society.

"Yep, just Niall Horan yellin' in the streets of Boston," I muttered.

Any pulled out her phone. After a moment she gasped. I looked at her oddly.

"What?" I asked her. She put her phone in front of my face, showing me a picture.

a/n ik horrible editing on my behalf

I took in the image. You can visibly see Ivy walking away from us without a care in the world. I read the caption.

Niall Horan walking with friend, Derick Darden, with mystery child behind him

I groaned before I read the article.

Could the child be Niall's child that he was expecting back in 2017? Sources say that Horan's Wife, Addison Conan, was pregnant in 2017, when he left home and did not appear until this year. Everyone is confused with who this child is, and if it is his alleged daughter. If it is, why is she walking away?

Rumors also are that this girl, found alone only less than a block away from the original picture, is the same girl.

Addison and I made eye contact before bustling to that street, which was only a few minutes away. Addison started dialing 911.

"Hello?" she said while running. "Yes, this is Addison Horan, my daughter is missing... She was last seen on Acorn Street in Boston... paparazzi, ma'am... a pink blouse and pink yoga pants... brown hair, blue eyes... hair short and wavy, yes... no... no it was my husband..."

My heart for some reason soared when she referred to me as her husband.

"...yes I mean Niall Horan..." Addison rolled her eyes. We got close to the street on our feet.

"Thank you, ma'am," Addison put her phone in her purse.

When we got to Acorn Street, we started yelling for Ivy.

"Ivy!" Addison yelled.

I looked around all over, searching for my curly-headed daughter.

"Ivory Blye!" I hollered, frantic.

Ivy's POV

I wandered around a road that had lots of people. I waved to people sometimes, and they waved back at me. They were so nice! Then my tummy started to rumble, and I called for Ni Ni to get me more ice keem cause the banilla didn't fill my tummy. I turned around and didn't see him.

"Ni Ni!" I yelled. I looked for him some more before giving up. I sat down against a wall that had some people by it eating pagetty. Then I stood up cause I wanted their pagetty.

"Escuze me?" I asked a lady with a ugly shirt and long nails. "Can I have your pagetty?" The lady didn't even look at me! Rude!

So I went a little farther to see if anyone else would give me their pagetty. I saw a lady with a nice shirt with jeans. She looked nice enough.

"Escuze me?" I repeated like the last time. The nice lady looked down at me. "Can I have your pagetty?"

The lady frowned at me. What? Did I do something bad? "Sweetie, where's your mommy?"

I sniffed, remembering she wasn't here. "At home," I answered her nicely.

"Dad?" she asked.

Hm. I don't have a dad. Is Ni Ni my dad? What is a dad?

"What do you mean by dad?" I asked the lady.

"The guy your mom married? Or had you with? Maybe she kisses him?"

Oh so she does mean Ni Ni!

"Um, I don't know!" I shrugged. "I accidentawy left him,"

The lady pulled out her phone. Why does she need her phone? Pictures?

"Um, I know I'm cute. No pichurs peez!"

The lady laughed. What's so funny?

She started calling someone, which is so weird!

"Hey, I have a young girl on Acorn Street without her parents," she said into the phone.

"That's me!" I rose my hand and squealed. The lady laughed and then she shushed me. How rude!

Then she put her phone away and then I heard my name.

"Ivy!"

Mama!

I ran to the voice and then I heard another.

"Ivory Blye!"

Ni Ni!

I looked around for Ni Ni and Mama. And then I saw them so I ran to them. Ni Ni has his arms open so I ran into them and he swinged me in the air super high. Then he squeezed me to where I couldn't breathe.

"Don't do that again," He yelled at me. What did I do? I nodded anyways.

Then I hugged Mama and she cried so I wiped her tears with my thumb.

"Don't cry, Mama!" I said and then I kissed her on the lips. She smiled at me, so I smiled back. She wiped away her tears more and gave me to Ni Ni.

He was crying too. What is this, a crying party? I wiped away his tears and kissed the end of his nose, which made him laugh.

My tummy rumbled again. "Oh yeah, can we get some pagetty?"

a/n i thought this was kind of a cute chapter, especially ivy's pov which was really fun to write. the only hard part was not being able to use bigger words like scolded and sobbing because there's a fair chance that a two year old wouldn't be able to pronounce that stuff

so yay two chapters in a day, and like three in 24 hours cuz i did one later last night.

please vote and comment, it means a bunch, ily ✊🏻❤️
