It was 11:40pm when Liam, Louis, Harry and I re-entered the house. Zayn and Niall were no longer in the living room. I went to check on my brothers. All of them were still asleep except for Devin.

"Devin, why aren't you asleep?" I asked as I sat on the bed.

"I want daddy," he said.

"You know we can't."

"No, I want Harry."

"But Harry isn't your dad, Devy."

"Yes he is."

"Devy, please don't do this. You need to be asleep. You've got school."

"I WANT HARRY!" he screamed.

"Devy, you are overly tired. Just go to sleep."

"But I want my daddy. I want Harry."

"Stop it, Devy! Harry isn't your dad!"

But then I thought, I did want a father figure in their lives...but I really didn't want my brothers to call Harry or the other boys dad. It sounded weird. It felt weird. It just didn't feel right. Then I heard the door open. I turned in saw Harry.

"I heard my name," he said.

He walked over to the bed and sat next to me.

"Devy, look who's here," I said.

Devin's eyes were as big as saucers when he noticed it was Harry.

"Daddy!" he cried.

"Daddy?" Harry questioned.

"He wants you to be his dad," I said.

"Katie, I think I just thought of a great idea to have a father figure in your brothers' lives."

Harry told me about how I should go to court and legally adopt my siblings. I've seen it happen in movies and I've heard of people doing that before, but I guess I never thought of doing it myself.

"But what about the father figure part? Yeah I'd technically be their mom, but what about the dad?"

"You've got me for that."

"Harry, what are you talking about?"

"I'll be their dad."

I guess he could be. My brothers did adore Harry. And he obviously adored them otherwise he wouldn't offer to do it. But how would the other boys feel about it?

"Would you really do that for me Harry?"

"Of course, Katie. I'd do anything for you and your brothers."

We both looked at Devin then. He was sitting up; he definitely wasn't going back to sleep any time soon.

"So, you're going to be my dad?" Devin asked.

"Yes, Devy. I'm going to be your dad," Harry said.

Devin's eyes grew big as he wrapped his arms around Harry's neck. Harry hugged my brother close; it was so adorable.

"Okay, Devy. You need to go to bed," I said as I tucked him back into bed.

"Goodnight Katie. Goodnight daddy," Devin said as Harry and I left his room.
