Never Looking Back

33. Mikayla Chloe Rivera Malik

Chapter 33

"Okay. All the papers are filled out. Are ready to meet your new daughter?" The man asked putting all the adoption papers in a folder and sealing them. "Yea." Zayn said. Today we came to see our new daughter, Chloe. Her full name was actually Mikayla Chloe Rivera, but apparently her mom and dad just called her Chloe. She was Zayn's family's friend's daughter's daughter (woah that was a lot). She had wavy brown hair and green-grey eyes, and was 1 and 1/2 years old. I couldn't wait to see her. I felt our little baby boy inside of me move around. I couldn't wait for him either, he was supposed to come out some time next week. The man came back in holding Mikayla, she was crying and screaming like crazy.

I was handed Mikalya first, as soon as she was in my arms, she stopped crying. She looked up at me amazed with big green-grey eyes. "Hi Mikalya." I said pulling her close to me. She snuggled her little head into my chest and closed her eyes. "Well then, I guess everything is settled. Congrats to you two." The man said as we exited his office. We walked over to Zayn's car and he put Mikayla into the carseat. We drove off to get Elle from Julia's house.

It was already 7pm and bedtime for all of us. I went into Mikayla's room to get her. She was laying there looking up to the ceiling. "Hi baby." I said picking her up. She smiled at me and clung to my shirt. Zayn and I were already enjoying her company here, even though she's only been he for 8 hours. She was a very cheerful baby, even though both of her parents died. And her and Zayn got along very well. I think she liked Zayn carrying her more than me carrying her. Elle came running into the room and stopped when she saw Mikayla, then I remembered I never introduced them to each other properly because Mikayla was sleeping. "Mommy? Why is there another baby here?" She asked. Elle was very smart, she knew I was going to have a baby.

I sat down on the window seat in Elle's room and she sat next to me. Mikayla was busy fascinating with my hair. "Elle baby, this is your little sister Mikayla." I said smiling. "No only one baby!" She said frowning, referring to her baby brother who was still inside of me. "No, two babies. You have Mikayla now." I said as she smiled back at me. "Kaykay is my sister!" She yelled coming closer to me. She looked at Mikayla and Mikayla looked back at her. It was a perfect moment right there!
