Chapter Eight: Adopting and Mum

Chapter 8.

{sorry for the POV changes in this chapter... love yaa xx}

-Edward's POV-

Did he really mean it? Does he even care? How do I know if he's not lying to me?

"Alright...fine. Don't think just because you're doing this, I'm going to forgive you just like that. Because...I'm not. It's going to take a long long time." I let out.

Des smiled. "Okay, let's go."

"Now?" I asked shocked. Again.

He smiles and nods. "Yes. Now. C'mon!" He walks to his car and I follow.

-Marcel's POV-

I'm sitting in the chair. Frozen. I can't believe this at all. It's seems so surreal. But what really got to me was...Why. Why didn't my mother tell me? We tell each other everything! I need to talk to her. But where do I even start?

"C'mon...Marcel we're going to the, erm, adoption center place thingy..." Harry said awkwardly.

Adoption center? For who?

"W-w-why?" I'm stuttering more.

"Edward. My- Our dad is going to adopt him..." Harry responds.

I slowly get up and wipe my tears. I need to see my mum.

-Harry's POV-

So here we are. Off to adopt my brother...it sounds weird saying that. Brother. I'm use to being the only boy...now there's three...

I'm still trying to put everything together. But I just can't seem to. It's all so new and crazy. I've just found out, after 16 years, that I'm a triplet...It kind of makes me wonder how life would be if we had stuck together. Would marcel be a nerd? Would Edward have over 40 tattoos? Would I even be in The Lost Boys...?

I don't know how to feel right now. I'm just...shocked. Really shocked.

I want to meet my mother. I want to get to know my brothers more. I just want us to be...a family.

We're in the car, it's quiet. Not an awkward quiet though. I notice Marcel's eyes were puffy. He was crying a lot earlier, must be tired now. I wonder how he feels about this whole thing.

"Hey...you okay?" I whisper loud enough for only us to hear. Edward and dad were in the front seats.

He sighed and looked at me, away from the window where he was previously staring out of. "I-I-I'm okay...still trying t-t-to believe this a-all..." He stuttered out.

I half heartly smile, "Same here. I just want you to know...if you ever need anything, I'm here. Your...brother."

His smile brightened. "Thanks, I-I need to get use to that..." he didn't stutter that bad.

We arrived at the adoption center. Marcel and I waited with Edward.

"So...Edward...how do you feel about all this?" I asked.

"Never expected it." He said.

"Yeah, me too."

"Edward, while Des signs these papers, you can pack and go say bye to Niall. I know you two became rather close." Some random lady said.

Did she just say Niall? Niall isn't really a common name...it can't be him.

"sure." He responded simply.

"He might be in the cafeteria. You know Niall. Always hungry, that boy is." She laughed and walked off.

Definitely Niall...but how?

Just then I see him. Walking down the hall towards us. He froze when he saw me.

"Niall!?" I was utterly shocked.

He slowly walked towards me, frowning. "H-hey Harry...What are you doing here..?"

"We're adopting Edwa- its a long story...What about you? You're an orphan?! Since...when?" I asked.

"Yes, I am an orphan...have been all my life..." why hasn't he ever told me this?!

"We're best friends! Why are you telling me now? I thought we told each other everything..."

"I-I know. I just...didn't want to be judged." He was tearing up.

I immediately embraced him into a hug. "Niall, I would never ever Judge you..." I whispered in his ear. He smiled and wiped his tears.

After Edward was packed and dad was finished signing the rest of the papers, we drove back to my place. We have a two spare rooms, so I'm sure Edward will take one of them. I'm actually happy Edward is staying with us. He finally has a home. Forever.

-Edward's POV-

Des, I mean my erm...dad, showed me my room. It was pretty decent. It had a dresser and a closet, a few windows, and a ceiling fan. The walls were plan white and the carpet was cream. Pretty Normal.

I started to unpack my things. I heard a knock on my door. It was Harry.

"Hey Edward." He smiled.

"Hi." I said, still taking my clothes out of my suit case.

"So, uhm, I just want you to know that I'm happy you're with us...I know I sound cheesy, but I'm just glad you'll have a home; a real one." He smiled brightly at me.

I'm not use to this heart to heart shit. It's just not really...me.

"Thanks Harry...It means, uhm, a lot..." I let out. "So, where's Marcel? How's he holding up?"

"He's downstairs, talking to dad about our mum..." Our mum?

"I want to meet her..." I said getting up from my bed.

"Me too, let's see if she's coming." Harry walked out the door.

I followed his downstairs and saw Des, fuck it I'm calling him Des, pacing back and forth. He must be nervous. Marcel was sat at the dining table. His head was buried in his hands.

There was a light knock on the door. It must be her. Des quickly walked to the door and answered it. He hugged the woman tightly. He whispered something into her ear, I couldn't hear. When they finished, they walked over to us.

Marcel quickly got up and hugged her. "Mum." He cried.

He cries a lot...Oh well. He's my brother, I have to learn to love him...for him.

"Harry. Edward. This is your mother, Anne." Des said.

She slowly approached us. She hugged Harry first, then me. It was weird, but it was comforting. Her embrace made me feel safe. It made me feel loved for once.

She wiped a few tears before she spoke. "My you boys are handsome." She laughed then became serious. "I just want you boys to know, I'm sorry. Truly and deeply. I love you so so much. I hope one day you'll forgive me for my stupid decisions..." She began to cry again.

I hate it when women cry. Not in a negative way, it's just...It's not right. No women should ever cry or have a heartbreak...

I hugged her again, I loved the feeling. I've just met my mother, and I already love her.

"Mum, it's okay...you both were going through a hard time..." I said to both of them.

"Y-y-yeah." Marcel spoke for the second time. "S-so what n-now?"
