December 15th, 2016.

So, Niall and I have been getting in touch with the law about adopting AnnaBeth. So far, it's going good. Of course they did background checks on us. Inspections of our home. Same things they did when we adopted Amelia. They also questioned her about why she ran away. She told them the truth. She didn't wanna be an orphan.

Niall and I have been painting his old room AnnaBeth's favorite color. Light blue. Since Niall and I are together, we share the same room. We're getting her a bed to put in there. The one Niall had was just too big and she needs space in there. The girls have been helping us with it.

Right now, Amelia is off with Niall at some football (soccer) game. AnnaBeth is with Gemma, My Mum and Niall's mum shopping for clothes. They wanted Amelia to go, but her and Niall have been planning on going to that game for a few weeks. And I'm just cleaning the house and getting things ready for a movie night tonight. Me, Niall, AnnaBeth and Amelia all get to pick one movie each to watch. It's gonna be so fun!

I hear the front door open and laughing. I walk over and see Amelia and Niall taking their coats off.

"Hey, dad!" Amelia says.

"Hello, love!" I say and kiss her cheek.

"Hey, babe." Niall says and kisses me.

"Well, hello!" I say and laugh.

Amelia walks upstairs and Niall goes into the kitchen. I follow him and sit at the counter.

"When is Gemma and our Mums bringing AnnaBeth back?" Niall asks.

"They're on their way back." I tell him.

I hear a knock on the front door so I hurry over and answer it. I see AnnaBeth standing there with Gemma, Maura and my Mum.

"Hey!" I say and let them in.

She has like four bags of clothes in her hands.

"You have fun, honey?" I ask her.

"I did! Thank you guys!" She says and hugs them.

"Its no problem, hun!" Maura says and Mum and Gemma agrees.

After awhile of talking, they leave.

They really like AnnaBeth. They said she's got great manners and she's really nice to everyone. I'm so glad!

(AnnaBeth's POV.)

I had so much fun with them today! They're so nice to me. Gemma helped me pick out several outfits and shoes. I got some makeup and nail polish too. Gemma's idea.

"So, what do you wanna do?" Amelia asks.

"Hmm... Wanna draw?" I ask and she nods.

We get out the paper, pencils and markers and begin.

After about an hour of drawing and laughing, we decide to go downstairs. Niall and Harry are sitting at the counter drinking wine. Awe!

"Hey, girls!" Niall says.

"Hey!" Amelia and I say at the same time, making us laugh.

/ /

We help Niall and Harry cook dinner, which was really fun!

After dinner, we all sit down in the living room and start our movie night. I love them.

December 18th, 2016.

We officially have full custody of AnnaBeth. I thought it'd take way longer, but thankfully it didn't.

I got Amelia to talk to AnnaBeth about what she wants for Christmas and I think I've got it. I did the same thing with AnnaBeth. So now Niall and I have all of their presents. I really hope they like them!

Right now, since the girls have Christmas vacation they're at my Mums house. Niall and I are finishing AnnaBeths room. We've got the bed, nightstands and everything in there. It looks so good!

When the girls get home, we're all gonna decorate the tree. I can't wait!

/ /

Its been a few hours and finally everyone is home. I walk into the living room with the last box of Christmas decorations. Niall takes the box from my arms and sits it down beside the tree.

Everyone starts getting out Christmas ornaments and putting them on the tree. Our theme is green and red. Its so beautiful.

I step back and catch a glimpse of the open window behind our tree. I notice the snowflakes falling in front of the window. I hear the girls gasp.

I look back and see AnnaBeth and Amelia looking out the window in awe.

/ /

Once we finish putting the last ornaments on I flip the switch for the lights. Once they're on, we stand back. It look beautiful!

"Niall, go stand in front of the tree with the girls, please." I tell him.

They walk over and AnnaBeth stands on Niall's left side and Amelia stands on his right. I take out my phone and snap the picture. Beautiful.

"Your turn, babe." Niall says, taking his phone out and pulling me over to where he was standing.

He stands back and says, "Say cheese!"

We both put the pictures on Instagram and instantly, our phones are blowing up. Our fans are freaking out. Many, trying to determine who AnnaBeth is. Some got it right. Saying, "They've adopted again!" But most were saying shes a cousin.

/ /

"Do you two wanna go out and play in the snow?" I ask.

By now, the snow has built up pretty good.

"Yes!" They both, including Niall shout.

"Get your coats on!" I say and walk over to the door.

We all slip on our coats, gloves and beanies then run out into the backyard, which is absolutely covered in snow.

We all just run around in the snow, building snow walls to hide behind as we throw snowballs at each other. At one point, niall tackles me to the ground and kisses me. I love him so much!

/ /

"Who wants hot cocoa?!" Niall shouts.

"Me!" AnnaBeth and Amelia shout.

We all go inside and make hot cocoa and drink it by the fireplace.

I love my family.
