Adopted (One Direction Adoption)

Five

once we finished up other 2 interviews and a meet and greet we were finally going to get something to eat. Its about 8:30 and we are about to eat at Nandos. Ella is dozing off here and there snuggled up on Harrys lap with her bunny. She has a had a full day of meeting the world. Since us announcing her as my daughter we have got a bunch of happiness and support as well as some hate.

"we are here boys" our driver announced.

"do you want me to grab Ella Harry?" I asked

"uh yeah here"

I left her bag in the car and grabbed a tired 3 year old.

"Ella bear wake up we are getting something to eat" I shook her gently. she opened her eyes and yawned.

we sat down at the table and surprisingly no fans were here seeing as its getting late.

"do you want some chicken nuggets" she nodded her head and layed it back on my shoulder.

We ordered our food and drinks and we just made small talk between the five of us as Ella was falling asleep.

"Here yall are" our waiter placed our food down and I took Ella and sat her next to me so that she could eat.

"come on baby eat some chicken for me" I cut up her chicken into small bites so she would choke and she slowly started eating them.

"we should take a trip to the zoo tomorrow" Louis jumped.

we all nodded and looked at Ella who was confused.

"what zoo?" she asked eating a piece of chicken.

"its where all the animals live" Liam responded.

"even pewnas" 

"yes even penguins now eat some more chicken ok" Her eyes sparkled and she nodded in excitement.

we finished eating and paid for our food and now on our way back home. Ella was sound asleep in her car seat holding her bunny tightly.

We arrived at the house and everybody went straight up to their beds. I took a sleepy Ella and took off her jacket and shoes and put her in her pjs and tucked her into bed. I was almost out the door when I heard little whimpers coming from her. she was tossing and turning with tears coming down her face. she must be having a nightmare. I picked her up and automatically she clung to my shirt. I sat in the chair next to her bed and rocked her while humming. The whimpers and cries eventually stopped so I tried to lay her down which resulted in her crying again. I picked her up and brought her to my room where she can sleep. I layed her down and took off my jeans and replaced them with sweats. I got in bed next to her and she moved to my side and layed her head on my chest.    

The next morning I woke up to the sun shining through the curtains and the last thing I remember is falling asleep with Ella attached to me and I wake up and I am alone. I sit up and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes. She probably went into her room. I walk into her room and notice its empty. hmm. I walk downstairs and see Ella and Zayn watching cartoons. I sneak up behind them.

"BOO!" I scream and they both jump and scream. They turn around and Zayn is scolding me.

"daddy!" she reaches up making grabby hands wanting me to pick her up. I place her on my hip and she kisses my cheek.

"good morning how'd you sleep?"

"good" I kissed her cheek and brought her into the kitchen where Harry is up making pancakes.

"haz!" El screams happy.

"Hey munchkin" he turns around with his kiss the cook apron and kisses her cheek.
