Baby "Jayn"

"Am Jayn"

Chapter 1
{Simon Cowell's POV.}

Simon took a deep breath as he called in the boys. One by one the four lads that made up the boyband One Direction, piled in his office. "Hello, nice that you arrived right away." Simon greeted them. The boys greeted him back and sat down on the chairs opposite his desk.
Louis eyed him warily."What was it exactly you wanted to talk about?"
"Straight to the point, I guess." Simon cleared his throat. "I've thought about the recent events."
He pulled one of his desk drawers open, and picked up a few old newspapers. He spread them out in front of the four boys. "Bars." he pointed out to one article of Liam leaving Funky Buddha. "Almost everyday."
"Getting Papped with girls." Simon said irritatedly as he pointed to another article of Louis seen with five different "mystery" girls.
"Fighting rumors, leaving the band apparently?" Simon continued, tapping the newspaper with Harry's name on. "And lastly, wanting to collab with every artist you meet?"

Niall looked horrified as he glanced at his picture with Nicki Minaj. "Uh, no."
"I know." Simon said. "But the media is giving you a pretty bad image. I know I've told you this before, but you haven't fixed it. I told you there would be consequences."
Liam bit his lip. "We've been so busy-"
Simon raised his hand to silence him. "I know, exactly why it's more important to fix your image."
"What consequences?" Harry frowned.
Simon picked his tea cup and sipped the warm drink. "You're going to adopt a child."
The boys's jaws dropped.
"What?" Louis asked
Niall looked mortified. "You've got to be kidding me."
Harry shook his head furiously. "I don't think that's a good idea."
Liam grimaced. "We? Adopt a child?"
Simon sighed. "Yes, and no protests."
"But-"
Simon threw the boys a stern glance. "I said, no protests. Besides, my decision is final. You can pick the gender and age, if you want. Perhaps responsibility is the only thing that can help you now. "

<><><><Liam's POV><><><><>

He wasn't ready for this. Liam James Payne was not ready to look after a child, even if it meant to fix his image. He and the boys could just not handle it. Liam shook his head. They all loved kids, but looking after one, adopting one, was a whole other case.
But Simon's decision was final, and he seemed determined that this would help the boys, for the better. So when Liam and the three lads entered the adoption center, the Wolverhampton lad had no choice but to grumble about it as the girl behind the desk asked them of which age.
"Not too young." Harry said, probably thinking about nappies and such.
"Not too old." Niall said, probably thinking about rebellious, stubborn kids.
Liam groaned, they were too young to adopt a kid. They were practically kids themselves.
The girl with the name tag, "Jackie", nodded. "Kay, follow me."
She abandoned her chair at the reception and led the four boys to a corridor with many rooms. Some were labeled, "Office", while others where labeled with children's ages and rooms. Dining area, Bathroom, babies, 10-15 yrs etc.

Jackie finally made a stop by a door labeled, "3-6." She pushed it open and walked inside, the boys following behind.
Inside were hundreds of kids screaming, and jumping around playing on mattresses, with toys and whatnot. Liam assumed the room was some kind of playing area, judging by the monkey bars at the far end of the room.i
"Lily!" Jackie called over a lady with braided her, inspecting on the kids. "These lads over here wanna adopt a child."
Lily smiled and walked over to them. "Hello, I'm Lily."
Liam shook her outstretched hand and nodded. "I'm Liam."
"So, do you boys want to adopt a girl or a boy?" Lily asked.
Niall shrugged. "We haven't actually decided yet."
Lily smiled. "Well, take a look around and tell me if there's someone special you find."
The boys thanked her and took off their shoes, along with Jackie, before walking deeper into the room.

Liam's eyes skimmed left and right, taking in the loud and laughing kids. As he walked over to the monkey bars, someone bumped into him. Liam immediately apologized to the little girl. The girl looked up and scrunched her nose, "It'sh okay."
She ran off to the monkey bars, clutching her doll to her chest. A smile tugged on Liam's lips. These children were adorable. Maybe adopting a child wouldn't be so bad.
"Liam!" Harry called from the other side of the room. Liam decided, if there was one kid he would adopt, it would be that cute girl.
He walked over to where Harry was, the other boys coming.
"These kids are so cute." Louis grinned.
Harry smiled fondly. "I know. Found anyone we could think of adopting?"
No one said anything, so Liam decided he could bring up the girl he had just bumped into. "Actually, I bumped into this little cute girl. She's over by the monkey bars."
The boys shrugged and nodded, walking toward the monkey bars, wanting to meet this little girl.

Suddenly, Harry stopped, making the boys bump into him. "Hey, look at him."
Liam followed the younger lad's gaze to a small boy, probably around two. He was sitting on a red mattress, alone, his back against the wall. In his hand was a yellow comic book, the boy's eyes glued on it.
"He seems like a quiet lad." Niall said and walked over to him, the other three boys following.
To say that the boy was cute, was an understatement. He had raven black hair, and when he looked up, Liam noticed he had beautiful hazel eyes.
"Hey." Louis said.
The boy didn't answer. He just stared at them, clutching his comic book tightly.
"What's your name?" Liam asked with a soft smile.
The boy's cute orbs glanced at him briefly before looking down. "Am Jayn."
"Zayn, huh?" Niall said.
"How old are you?" Harry asked gently.
Zayn lifted up three fingers. "Twee."

"What do you like to do?" Louis asked.
Zayn didn't answer. Instead, he bit his lip and looked down. Either the boy was shy, or he was afraid of them.
Liam caught Lily looking at them. She beckoned them over, and the boys walked towards her.
"He's a quiet lad." Niall commented, throwing a glance at Zayn who was staring curiously at them.
Lily smiled sadly. "He's had a tough past. No one knows what actually happened, but the neighbors reported child abuse."
Liam clenched his jaw. It was disgusting how some crazy people stated to be a "parent".
"I think we should adopt him." Louis said, his face hard.
Harry nodded along, sympathy in his eyes. "Me too. Besides, he's not that loud and he's quite cute."
Liam smiled. "We're adopting Zayn then?"

The other boys nodded in agreement. "I'll go get the papers." Niall said, and he and Louis walked towards Lily.
"Let's go to Zayn." Harry said excitedly.
Lirry walked towards the cute little boy who had continued reading his comic book.
When they approached him, he stared at them with his hazel eyes.
"Hey again, Zayn." Harry said, kneeling in front of him. "I'm Harry, and we're going to adopt you."
Zayn's eyes widened. "Adwopt Jayn?"
"Yeah." Liam smiled.
Zayn glanced at Lily as she came towards them. "Hey, Zayn. These wonderful people are going to adopt you! You're going to have so much fun."
Zayn scowled. "Jayn dwon't go."
"C'mon, they're nice people. I'm sure you will enjoy." Lily smiled warmly at him. "Jackie's brought all your things."

Zayn glared at Liam, as if it was his fault, which it kind of was.
Jackie walked over to them with a purple bag. "Here's all his things."
Liam thanked her and glanced inside the backpack. A few comic books, two pair of jeans, three shirts, and a stuffed animal, as well as the boy's toothbrush.
"You just have to sign the adoption papers." Lily told them and the boys followed her back, putting their shoes on. Zayn trudged, his small feet making him fall behind.
Liam slowed down, so he could catch up. "So, what do you like to do?"
Zayn didn't answer. He just walked in silence, his hand wrapped around his rolled up comic book.
When they arrived at the reception, Jackie pulled out a few papers. Liam signed a few times, the boys doing the same. Lily stamped them and smiled. "Congratulations, you are now the guardians of Zayn Malik."
The boys smiled at Zayn, but he didn't return it. He just folded his little arms across his chest and looked down.
