*****Elizabeth's POV*****

I sit beside my two month old baby sister, Sydney, who is held by my older brother James, as I lean against William, James twin. "Will? Where they take us?" I whimper. Our parents were arrested for child abuse and neglect, we're being put into a different place. Will pushes the hair from my face and kisses my forehead. I'm a 3 year old girl with long brown hair and big blue eyes. My brothers are a older and male version of me, they're 6. "It's okay, Ellie. They said we'll be safe where we're going." James says as the car pulls up. Will lifts me up and carries me inside the building, James and Sydney close behind.  I watch as little kids run around with each other. "You must be the new kids?!" A woman says loudly, appearing in front of us. I'm placed on the ground and I hide behind Will. "I'm James, this is my twin William, we're 6. This is Elizabeth, our 3 year old sister and Sydney our 2 month old baby sister." James says. The woman nods. "I have a room all set up for you. Follow me." She says,taking Sydney into her arms.

***1 week later***

I climb down the stairs slowly behind James and Will, trying not to fall. James turns and lifts me up. I snuggle into him as he carries me down. Miss Matthews stands by the dining hall and looks at us. I smile at her and she smiles back. "It's visiting day today, children! After breakfast get into some nice clothes and stay in your rooms!" Miss calls.

I sit on my bed with Will braiding my hair, when the door opens. I look up to see a man standing there with his wife. They stare at me intently as I look over to them. Miss Matthews walks over to them. "Any luck so far?" She asks. They nod and point to me. I turn away quickly and a minute later, I'm lifted up.

***1 month later***

The police car pulls up outside the adoption centre and Officer Max lifts me and my small bag out of the back. I look around and see Will and James with Sydney, following a group of men out. Will spots me and freezes in place. He probably saw the large bruise covering my face. He says something to them and runs over. He asks Max to hold me and I'm set down. "Ellie?! What happened?!" He asks in shock. I burst into tears and hug my brother. He pulls me closer and I cry into him. "Will?" James asks running over.

I wake up to see the men from earlier staring at me from above. "Are you sure this was a good idea, Liam. Sure, she's their sister, but now we have four kids to watch over." The man with long hair hisses. The other men send him a glare and look at me. "Thank God, you're awake!" The blonde says. I stare at them as my siblings walk in. "Will?" I call at them and Will runs over. "Hey Ellie Bellie!" He smiles, hugging me. The men stare in shock that I talked. James runs over and joins the hug.

"So. I'm Niall. That's Liam, Louis and Harry." The blonde says, pointing to the others. I nod and snuggle into my brothers. "Elizabeth? What happened at your old home, the one the police brought you back from?" Liam asks. I stare at him as the tears. "They hitted me cause I no listening to them. They did that too." I say, pointing to my covered stomach. Will and James lift my jumper and shirt to reveal a large blood stained bandage on my tummy. They stare in horror. "We need to take you to the hospital to get it checked out." Harry states. I whimper as I'm lifted up and carried out.

"Elizabeth? How do you feel?" A man asks. I burst into tears and start screaming because of the stuff he holds. He jumps in shock and sends the nurse to get something. A minute later, Will and James in followed closely by Louis. "Ellie!" Will cries and they run over. I'm wrapped in their arms and I calm down. "Eliza? What's wrong?" Louis asks. I point to the doctor who is playing with his tools. Louis sends Will and James back to the others. He shifts me onto his lap and looks at the doctor.

I sit with Louis and Will as they watch the music channel. "My girlfriend's bitching cause I always sleep in. She's always screaming when she's calling her frie-" A song starts, but Liam walks in and changes the channel. "Not the music channel. There's too many songs with swearing in them. Also, it's bedtime." He says and lifts me up. Louis starts whining. "Liam? Do you girlfrind bitching cuse you aways sleeps in?" I mumble. "No saying that word, Elizabeth!" He snaps at me. I burst into tears and Louis takes me. "It's okay, Eliza. He's just being a grumpy old man. Let's find some spoons." He says while bouncing me lightly. I nod and watch as he walks to the kitchen and grabs all the spoons. He rushes up to Liam and we toss them at him. He screams in horror and I start giggling loudly. He turns and looks at me. "You is silly!" I smile.

I wake up to Niall carrying me into a building. I look around to see Liam with the baby carrier and Harry with a baby bag. "One Direction? This way please." Somebody says. After a few minutes, I'm placed on a couch. "Pee Pee." I call. They look panicked and Louis lifts me up. "LOU?! HELP US?!" He yells and runs around. Will just stands there with a questioning look. "Haven't you changed Sydney's nappies a few times?!" He calls. Louis stares at him in confusion. "Your meant to change nappies?!" He yelps. James walks out of the room and nods. A woman comes running towards us. "Louis?! What's wrong?!" She asks. "Your meant to change nappies?" He asks her. Her eyes widen and she takes me into her arms. "How many wear nappies?" She asks my brothers. "Ellie and Sydney." They say. She sends Louis a glare and heads into the room. "Forgetting the nappies boys?!" She asks. They turn in horror and Lou lifts Sydney up and carries us out.
