The closer we got to the house, the more nervous I got. The more worrying questions popped in my head. "What if the boys don't like me? What if nobody likes me? What if I'm not what Ashton wanted? What if they don't want me? What if they take me back to the orphanage?" I slowed down my pace and soon stopped when we reached the porch. Ashton and Bry noticed that I stopped and looked back. They both sent comforting smiles and Bry approached me first. "Are you nervous?" She questioned softly and laid a hand on my shoulder. I nodded my head and glanced at the door while taking a small step back. She rubbed my shoulder softly and looked me in the eyes. "It's hard to make such a big change, isn't it? Thinking about what could happen, all the pressure and nerves. Almost feeling like you're alone." She stated gently still rubbing my shoulder to calm me down. I relaxed a bit from her touch and words, nodding again. "But you know what, Carter? You aren't alone. I know this is hard, especially on you, but we are here for you. We will always be here for you." Ashton walked up to me and kissed my head gently. "Now, let's enter this new life, together." I looked up at both of them smiling gently, grabbing their hands in mine. "Together." I said softly and let them guide me into my new home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ashton walked in first with my bags and held the door open for us. The only word to describe the inside, damn. It was even more beautiful on the inside, and didn't look as big as you'd think from the outside, which ultimately gave it a cozy sense to it. As you walk through the door, you go into an open area that leads to everywhere else. To the left is a huge staircase leading upstairs and also two halls on either side. To the right is and a wall with different pictures and framed magazines and two doors. Straight ahead is, what I assume, the entrance to the living room along with a two doors on the far left wall and a set of sliding doors on the far wall that is covered with blinds. I look around the room after putting my shoes in the area by the door where everyone else's stuff is. Suddenly, multiple footsteps are head from different directions after Ashton shuts the door. I instinctively hide behind Ashton at the sudden noise and peck out from behind him just in time to see 3 boys coming into the room; one from the stairs, one from the left hallway by the stairs, and one from the closest door to us in the living room. I slowly peak out more to try and see what they look like when Ashton turns back to me to try and move me in full view. I look up to see him looking at me with trusting eyes and I allow him to move me. I look at the boys in front of me and I'm stunned to say in the least. They're all very tall, one of them had blond flat hair and bright blue eyes, another with dark hair, dark skin and brown puppy dog eyes, and the last one had flat white hair with beautiful green eyes. But what stunned me the most was they all held giant grins as they stared at me. I smiled nervously and stepped towards Ashton while he put an arm around my shoulders and slowly lead me towards them and also put me in front of him. "Carter, this is Luke, Calum, and Michael, your new uncle's." He said pointing to them as he listed their names, "Guys, this is Carter, my new daughter." Somehow, their smiles got bigger as Ash introduced me. I smiled at them and gave them a small wave which caused them to awe and say how cute I was. The first one to approach me was Michael. I probably would've taken a step back if Ash wasn't behind me because to be honest, Michael looked really intimidating. As he got to me, he leaned down a bit (I'm quite short) and held his arms out for a hug. I slowly leaned closer and accepted his hug which he immediately responded to by closing his arms around me in a very comfortable bear hug. "Welcome home, Carter!" He, sadly, pulled back from the hug and looked me in the eye with his soft twinkling ones. "Like Ash said, I'm Michael but you can call me Mikey. I'm the cool and most likely favorite uncle. We can go to concerts and dye our hair together and go fun places." He grinned at me which made me smile widely at his adorable face. "Mikey, share!" Michael was pulled back by Calum who automatically invited me into his arms for yet another super comfortable bear hug. "I'm Cal, the real cool and definitely favorite uncle. I'll take you and get you anything you want. I'll even let you drink-" "Oh no, you most certainly will not!" Both Ash and Bry interrupted. "I was just joking!" Calum looked back at me with a goofy grin and winked at me. He too was pulled back by the last boy, Luke. He also hugged me although he was a little more shy about it but it was still very comfortable none the less. After a few seconds, he pulled back and grinned, showing off his dimples. "I'm Luke, as you already know. And I'm the really real cool and favorite uncle." I giggled at the fact that they're all trying so hard to be my favorite, which caused Luke to smile wider and jump up. "Ha! I got her to laugh so I'm the favorite!" He punched the air in triumph and the boys started bickering about who's the favorite. Ash and Bry just laughed behind me and turned to me. "Let's go see your room." Ashton grabbed my bag again and they both lead me up the staircase. "Well, that went a lot better then I expected" I thought while going to the new challenge of my new adventure.
