“There we go! Good job!” I say softly to my niece as I feed her yet another spoonful of some of the mashed up fruits Gemma gave me before she left. “Let’s take a picture to mummy” I say with a soft smile and take up my phone from my pocket

Earlier this year, my sister Gemma became a mum to a beautiful little girl. I’ve never been more proud. I’ve always wanted to be a dad, but with all the touring, music and everything that’s included in my career, it’s not really on the chart for atleast a few years. So therefore, it’s perfect to be an uncle. I can babysit her, go on walks, and cafes, like right now, and I don’t have to deal with sleepless night and the other stuff that comes with a baby.

Now that she’s 10 months old, she’s babbling a lot. And she loves to smile to strangers. I hold up my phone infront of her. “Alright, smile little lady” I say softly and let out a laugh as she looks to the side with a big smile, showing her tiny teeth that’s popping up. “What are you looking at-“ I follow her gaze and that’s when I see. you. Gosh you’re.. beautiful. Thankfully, my niece has caught your attention, and you’re waving to her.
