Adopted

Chapter Three

Louis' POV

"You ready?" I asked Eleanor, my girlfriend of two years. She nodded, smiling.

"I can't wait to meet all the kids! I love kids..." She said, signing dreamily. I grinned. She was too damn cute sometimes.

The door opened and I walked in, holding El's hand. One girl, must have been at least 13, looked surprised. Her jaw dropped and her eyes widened. I knew she was a fan by the look on her face. I winked at her, and Eleanor smiled.

The lady that ran the orphanage, Lily, introduced us to all the kids. I did like Robert, the fourteen year old boy, at first, but when he told the little girl, Hailey, to shut up, I had to move on.

Finally we met the girl who's jaw dropped. She was with a little boy, whom I guessed was her brother.

"Hello, love. I'm Louis, and this is Eleanor. What's your name?" I said, smiling.

Her face was pink. Yep, definitely a fan.

"I'm Libby, and this is my little brother Toby," she said, "I'm 13 and he's 7."

I knelt down to Toby's level. "Hey, buddy. How are you?"

He grinned at me. "I like you. You helped my sister stop being so sad all the time." I smiled more. This kid was too cute. In around five minutes I learned that he really like superheroes and pirates. Eleanor had talked to Libby some too.

After that we'd met all the kids. Lily took us into a room to make our decisions and left us alone.

"So, who did you like?" I asked.

She thought. "I thought Hailey was a cutie, but I gotta say, Libby and Toby were growing on me."

I grinned. "Me too! I love those kids. Libby looks shy, but she told me about her writing, and her love for music, so she fits in well with us! Toby loved pirates, so he'd be fun to play with."

We exchanged smiles. I knew our decision was made.

Libby's POV

Louis and Eleanor were taken into the consulting room by Lily, and then Lily shut the door behind her and sat with us.

After a few minutes, the door opened, and Louis and Eleanor emerged. They smiled with sparkling eyes.

Eleanor cleared her throat. "We really liked meeting all of you. There were two particular kids who stood out to us, however. Those two kids were Libby and Toby Watson."

My heart stopped beating.

Louis walked over. "Libby, Toby, would you like to come home with me and El?"

Of course I nodded.

Holy crap

I'm getting adopted my Elounour.
