Your pov

We were all cuddled up on the sofa, watching the Lion King since the kids love it. I was sat between Isabelle and Ethan and Niall was next to Ethan with Isla on his lap. Family movie nights were amazing but it wasn't complete without the one person that wasn't here right now.

The door was broken down and police entered our home.
"Put the baby down and step away from the child" he said to Niall.
Niall looked at us all confused and passed Isla to me and then stood up.
He was handcuffed.
"Niall Horan you are under arrest for the murder of Emily Alice Horan" the man said taking Niall away.
"What! I didn't murder my daughter!" He cried.
"Daddy!" Isabelle screamed, crying.
"Leave my daddy alone!" Ethan cried.

Emily Alice Horan, our first child, our first daughter, our perfect little girl.
She was taken away from us one month ago. She was murdered, she was 14.
She went missing and her body was found in a lake with a bullet wound to the head.
But Niall, he wouldn't do this, he was distraught when he found out. He was the worst. She was his little princess, his first little girl, he loved her so much and Anyway Niall wouldn't hurt anyone no matter what they did.

Isabelle's pov

Broken, empty, that's how I felt. My dad had been arrested for murdering my sister. There's one thing I know and that is that he's innocent. My dad is an asking person and he would never do this, he wouldn't hurt anyone especially his own family. The police are wrong and I need to find a way to prove that.

***at the hearing***

"Mr Horan, please come to the stand" the judge said.
Niall stood up and went to the stand.
"State your relationship to Emily Alice Horan" the judge said.
"She was my daughter" Niall whispered, tears in his eyes.
"And did you murder the child" the judge said.
"Of course he didn't!" Isabelle said standing up from her seat next to me.

"And who are you, little girl?" The judge asked.
"I'm 12 Actually and I'm Isabelle, his daughter" she said.
"And what makes you think this man didn't kill your sister?" The judge asked.
"Daddy couldn't hurt anyone no matter what they do. He's too nice . He loved Emily so much, the way he loves all of us. He would risk his life to protect her .  And he wasn't in town when she was murdered. The autopsy results said that she was killed on the 12th of July, at the point my dad was in New York for the madison square garden show. If you don't believe me go on the internet. There is no way he did it. There is a murderer on the lose and this loudly police force is trying to put my dad in prison even though it's impossible for him to have done it" Isabelle fought and a small smile came to mine and Nialls lips.
"Ah, you're a lot clever than you look, little girl" the judge said coldly.
"But a fun was found with your fathers fingerprints on it, so what do you have to say about that?" The judge asked.
"I've never touched a gun in my life!" Niall interjected.
"Anyway, Mr Horan was you in New York on the 12th of July?" The judge asked.
"Yes I had a show there with the band at madison square garden" he said.

Isabelle's pov

"Mum, we need to find a way to prove dad is innocent" I cried.
"Don't worry , we will make sure daddy comes home soon" I whispered to my little brother and sister.

**3 months later***

He still wasn't home. I haven't seen my dad in 3months. Ethan and Isla haven't either. Children cant visit prisons . Mums seen him, she said he can't take it and now we need to find a way to prove his innocence.

***

We found it, the key to my dad coming home.
A usb, my mum, grandma and I watched the video on it. It was horrible. It was a video of who shot my sister. It was a rich man from the other side of town. He had lost both his children and his wife in a plane crash and every time he saw my mum and dads family he would look at us with envy and jealousy. He wanted us to feel that pain. The man who murdered my sister was Clifford Blossom.

****

We were at the prison waiting for my dad to walk out of those doors.
There he was, he didn't look like his normal happy self. He had bags under his eyes, bloodshot eyes from the endless nights of crying .

"Daddy!" I screamed launching myself at him.
Wrapping my body around him. My arms around his neck and my legs around his torso.
I sobbed and he cried into my neck.
"I missed you so much princess" he whispered.
"I missed you too" I said.
"Thank you baby, for proving my innocence" he said putting my down.
He got onto his knees.
"Now c'mere my little lad" he said opening his arms for Ethan to run to.
"I missed you daddy" Ethan said.
"I missed you too buddy, we have a lot Of football to catch up on" He said.

He stood up and took Isla out of my mums arms.
"Hi baby, I'm so happy to have you and your brother and sister back. I've missed you" my dad whispered letting a tear fall.
He then handed Isla to me and engulfed my mum in a hug.

"I missed you so so much, it was horrible in there" he sobbed.
I but my lip, I hate seeing my dad crying.
"I know baby, but you're back now and everyone knows you didn't do it, the murderer is finally behind bars and Emily can rest in peace knowing her murderer is being punished" my mum said and kissed him.
