Neonata (One Direction Fanfiction AU)

"Papa then,"

As Emilia Ricci stood waiting in the arrivals lounge at England's airport, she frowned in disgust. It was so cold in England.

A man with a fancy black suit walked over to her with a soft smile on his face when he got to her. "Hello darling, Emilia am I right in thinking?" he smiled and she nodded as he chuckled reaching his hand out to her. "Well pleasure to meet you, i'm Harry Styles, you're Dad's friend," he informed her as she shook his hand. "It's freeze here!" she exclaimed looking out at the snow covered ground. "Freezing," Harry corrected her, a glint in his eyes as he chuckled at her failed attempt at English.

"We need to go," a huge man stood just behind Harry said quietly as Emilia jumped not even noticing he was there. "Now?!" he asked and they nodded before Harry sighed, taking Emilia's large suitcase allowing her to carry her rucksack and what looked like the same blanket as she had when she first came to visit them around the age of 2.

Emilia followed Harry out to a black car with blacked out windows as she watched the big bodyguards put her suitcase in the boot before Harry opened the door for her and she climbed in quickly, Harry getting in after. "You're Dad has some rules that you need to obey when you're here," Harry started as they started to drive away from the airport. Emilia nodded and Harry chuckled continuing what he was saying. "You are to eat what we tell you, definitely no foul language or talking back, no asking too many questions, bedtime at 8, keep you're room tidy and no leaving the house without your Dad's or another one of ours permission, oh and speak English as much as possible," he finished. "Do I have to speak English all the time?" the little girl frowned and Harry shook his head, "Your Dad doesn't expect you to all the time, of course if someone speaks to you in Italian you're more than welcome to respond but just try and speak English as much as possible," he finished. "Another one?" Emilia frowned again and Harry nodded, "There is me, Niall, Liam, you're Dad's girlfriend - Eleanor and Liam's bird, Sophia," he finished. "Any questions? We don't let you ask much so quickly now Em," he smiled adorning her with a nickname. "Are you in a gang?" she asked and Harry rolled his eyes about how fast the seven year old had worked that out. "What gives you that idea?" he asked. "The big guys telling you what to do, the black cars, the suits," she told him. "Well I guess you'll have to find out for yourself," he told her in a patronizing tone. What he didn't expect was her to turn around, look him in the eyes and answer, "maybe I will."

He chuckled before whistling and replying, "attitude kid, you're Dad's not gunna like that!"

The rest of the car journey went quietly as Harry looked down at his phone and Emilia frowned looking out the window as she watched the trees pass. Soon they pulled into a ginormous gated house as Emilia's eyes widened in anticipation, wanting to go and explore. Harry helped her out of the car and got her suitcase before walking her up the long staircase and in through the front door, passing what looked like a security guard. 

Harry left her stuff in the hallway before he led her into the kitchen where Emilia could hear what sounded like a lot of people talking. As they walked in, it went quiet and everyone turned to look at the adorable little girl standing next to Harry who was holding her hand. 

"Hi Emilia, i'm Liam," one man said crouching to her height and holding his hand out for her to shake. "Nice to meet you," Emilia replied smiling, showing her lost two front teeth. "Hello, i'm Niall," another bounded over holding his hand out. Emilia frowned before looking up with wide eyes as she tried to make out what the crazy blonde man had just said. The rest of the room laughed before Harry turned to Niall. "Easy Niall, she's only little and doesn't understand English too well," he laughed and Niall blushed telling her he was Niall again before she giggled nodding in acknowledgment. "Hi sweetie, i'm El," the taller brown haired women spoke hugging the small child before Sophia spoke up. "Hi i'm Sophia," she smiled also hugging the little girl. "Ah bird," the little girl frowned looking up at Harry in question. Sophia blushed as everyone laughed and Liam rolled his eyes at Harry.
