*an hour later*
Mark had of course decided to bring the smallest van he could find, so Harry, Louis, Belle and I were squished in the back of it. We'd been so kind as to give Lou the front seat.
Belle had been gurgling and making noises the entire car ride so far. "Fuck. I really hope she's over that bug."
"You need to stop swearing." Louis chimed in.
I took a double take at him and glared.
"Just sayin!" He said putting his hands up.
"Louis is right." Lou added. "She may be little but she still retains everything you say."
I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah, Lou. I don't think he's gonna be stopping anytime soon." Harry said.
"Shut up." I mumbled.
Harry and Louis shrugged and the car became deathly quiet. All until Belle hiccupped and sent puke spewing onto the seat.
"Damn it!" I cursed.
Lou shot me a look.
Harry chuckled, "Told ya, didn't I?"
When we arrived at the embassy, I was already yelling at Louis and Harry both to shut up. Lou had taken Belle and gone to the restroom while I signed in.
"You two weren't even supposed to come." I mumbled.
Harry sighed, "Nialler, we just wanted to be here for moral support."
"I know, it's just frustrating after such a long night." I looked around. "Where are Lou and Belle?" I mumbled again.
"We're here!" I heard her. I turned and she was carrying a happier looking Belle. "I think that was the last of it." Lou added. "She's been giggling since I changed her clothes."
I took Belle out of her arms. "Thank you. I would still be in there freaking out."
Lou chuckled, "Unfortunately, I'm used to it."
Party 134 you may now enter through the double doors.
"That's me." I said louder. "Who all is coming?" I asked the group.
Harry was the only person to raise a hand. I nodded at him and we walked toward the doors. The guard took my ticket and let us through. We followed the electronic signs that flashed the number 134. We entered a huge circular room at the end of the hall.
"Mr. Horan?" I looked forward to see a table full of men and women in black robes.
"Yes. That's me."
"And Belle Horan is with you?"
'Are they blind?' I thought as I nodded. "This is her." I motioned to the baby I was holding.
"Very good. Please give Belle to your friend and take a seat." The woman who had spoken pointed to chair in the middle of the room facing them.
Harry took Belle and sat down in the back of the room as I walked forward and sat down in the chair.
"Mr. Horan, you have been given parental control of Belle Horan, born the fifteenth of July in the year two thousand fifteen. Are you able to care for the child in question?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"And if you should, at any time, be unable to care for the child, who would gain custody?"
I was stumped, momentarily unable to answer the question given.
"Well, um-"
"Mr. Horan, 'Well, um' is not a valid answer to that question." One of the other women at the table said.
