Addison's POV
Ivy galloped around the room with Puppers in her left hand.
"We are goin' on a aventure!" she told my excitedly.
I nodded while scrolling through instagram. "That's great, baby."
I heard her squeal as she ran to her room. Niall was still asleep. I hoped she wouldn't wake him up. Shortly after she ran in, she came back out of her room with an old bandana bib around her neck and a dress-up cowboy hat.
"Mama, I'm a cowboy!" She hollered from down the hall.
I looked up at the goofily dressed toddler and snapped a picture. "It looks good, Ivy."
She smiled and continued to run around the house with Puppers. Niall lazily moped out of the bedroom with bed head and a pair of pajamas on. He yawned as he poured cereal.
"Good morning," I murmured from the living room.
"Mornin'," Niall muttered tiredly.
I sighed. He was not talking much was he. "Did Ivy wake you up?"
He grimaced as he nodded.
Ivy suddenly came into the room screeching.
"Speak of the devil..." Niall complained.
I rolled my eyes. "That's the most you've said all day. Patronizing our daughter."
Ivy held up Puppers like he was Simba from the Lion King.
"Still, she was screaming. I just woke up because of her. I don't need more noise."
"Why are you being sick a pain in the back? You are being so unpleasant."
Niall huffed. "S'not like you are helping."
I rolled my eyes at his insensitiveness again. Ivy ran up to Niall.
"Ni Ni, I'm a cowboy!" She told him happily.
Niall crooked his eyebrows. "Wouldn't you be a cowgirl?"
Ivy crossed her arms, confused. "I thought I could be who I want to be?"
Niall sighed as he chewed Cheerios. "I guess..."
"Mama always told me I could be whoever. I want to be a cowboy, so I'm gonna be a cowboy."
I've never been so proud of her. Niall smirked a little as she ran away to go play again.
"Ya taught her well, Add," Niall acknowledged.
"I know," I nodded.
Niall rolled his eyes. "Not even a thank you? I complimented ya."
"Why are you in such a bad mood? Normally you wouldn't care if I said stuff like that."
"Shut up, Add," Niall huffed.
I was taken aback. "Excuse me?"
"I said shut up!" Niall exclaimed. He dumped his bowl in the sink and walked down the hallway to our room.
I blinked a few times, trying to take in what happened. "Oh my gosh..." I whispered to myself.
I opened my phone again to distract myself from the drama.
"Get lost!" I heard Niall holler from the room.
Did he just talk to Ivy like that? I shook the thought away. Niall would never do something like that. That girl was his world.
a few hours later...
"Ivy," I called. "It's lunch."
Niall limped down the hallway. "Bit quieter, could ya?" he complained.
"Sorry," I apologized. "I haven't seen Ivy in a bit. Probably got very into her game." I laughed lightly.
"Yeh, last time I saw her she explored her way into our bedroom. Told her to go," He chuckled a bit.
I laughed with him, Then realization hit. "You told her to 'get lost' earlier?"
He nodded.
"You have got to be kidding me," I groaned. "You don't say that to a two year old!"
"I wasn't thinkin'! Didn't think she'd actually get lost."
"Are you implying Ivy is lost?" I questioned seriously. He shrugged.
"Just guessing," he whispered.
I shot up from my chair to go to Ivy's room. "Ivy!" I called. I searched all over the house.
"Niall!" I lectured. "You literally told Ivy to get lost, and now she is. Get up and help look for our daughter."
He guiltily stood up.
"Where is she?" I asked to myself quietly.
