I walk into the building, children running past me as they laugh. It made me smile, seeing parentless children so happy. I wish I could father them all, but having 30 kids would be extremely hard.

"How may I help you?" A lady asked from the front desk as I slipped off my sunglasses.

"Hi, I'm here to get Autumn, I adopted her last week," I spoke as she nodded with a small smile on her face.

She left for a small moment, then came back with a toddler asleep in her arms. The little girls hair was down and straight, a pacifier in her mouth as she peacefully slept.

"She's all yours," the middle aged woman whispered quietly as she moved my daughters body into my arms.

Autumn's head rested on my shoulder as I thanked her, leaving with the two year old in my arms. I set her small body in her pink car seat, getting up front afterwards and driving home.

As I pulled into the driveway, I saw three cars. Smiling, I got out of the car. I got my toddler from her seat and carried her inside, the three boys that were sat on my couch looking back at me.

Before they got up, I rushed upstairs and put Autumn down in her room. I covered her up, leaving and shutting the door behind me.

I went downstairs and the boys attention was back towards the television.

"I'm back," I spoke as they turned, getting up and tackling me in a hug.

"Can't believe you did it man," Louis spoke as they let me go.

"Honestly, I can't believe it either," I smiled, "but when the lady brought her to me about an hour ago, I knew it was the right thing to do."

We sat down and waited for Autumn to wake up.

It was an hour after that when I heard footsteps coming from upstairs. I got up, going to the staircase where I saw her, fear in her small eyes.

"Hi sweets, remember me?" I whispered as she nodded, hearing Niall and Louis scream at the television.

She gasped, moving back up a step. "No, sweetheart, its alright. C'mon, they won't hurt you."

I walked up the stairs and picked up the two year old, not too keen about her walking down the stairs by herself yet. She could easily fall down them.

I carried her to the living room, turning off the television. "C'mon mate! The game was on!" Niall spoke before they looked back at me.

"Fine then, guess you don't want to meet my daughter, we'll go nap some more," I spoke as they turned, their eyes softening as they saw the sight of her.

"She's so cute," Liam mumbled.

I walked over and say in the recliner with her, her stern eyes studying the boys hard.

"Hi," Niall whispered walking towards us and bending downward to meet her eyes, "I'm your Uncle Niall. Do you want to go play?"

Her eyes softened at the word 'uncle'. "Uncle?" She spoke as best as she could in her small voice.

He nodded, "Yeah princess, I'm your Uncle."

She smiled, lifting her arms so he could pick her up. They disappeared upstairs and I sighed happily as I grabbed my phone from my pocket.

"Did they give you anything about her?" Liam asked curiously as he took Niall's spot.

"Her parents gave her up at 5 months old after her brother passed away in an accident," I spoke, "they thought they couldn't handle a child after they just lost one."

"That's awful," Louis spoke.

"Do you guys remember the story on the news where the young boy died in a motorcycle and car accident?" I asked as the two boys nodded.

"That was him," I spoke. They both looked shocked, "Didn't he die on impact?" Louis had asked.

I nodded, "She was at her grandparents when it happened, the parents called and gave them up. The grandparents were too old to care for her."

Liam shook his head, "That's so sad."

"Hey Harry?" I heard Niall call.

"Yeah?" I spoke back loudly.

"She's calling for you!" He spoke as I heard him coming towards me. I got up and met them on the end of the stairs

"Daddy!" She babbled until she met my arms.

"Woah, it just hit me," i spoke as I kissed Autumn's cheek, "I'm a daddy."
