I'm not like any other girl

Getting to know the baby

The next day I went to the orphanage and I was first greeted by a lady who looked in her mid-30s.

"Hi welcome to the orphanage I'm Mrs. Smith but you can call me Emily" She said with a smile.

"Hi I was on your website yesterday and saw the most adorable boy and I would love to meet him." Showing her the picture.

"Oh you're looking for Zayn Malik, come follow me."

I followed her inside and saw a lot of babies some girls and some boys.

"This is zayn's room before you go in there I want to tell you that Zayn isn't like the other kids."

"What do you mean?" I asked confused

And all the did was open the door when we went in the room was all pink with a princess bed and toys scattered around the room.

I was so distracted by the room I didn't even notice that Emily said something

"Zayn someone is here to see you."

I didn't come back to reality until Zayn got off the floor and what he was wearing shocked me.

"Hi, I'm zen." He said with an adorable smile

"Hi, Zayn I'm Liam." And all I could do was smile at him

"Do you want to come to play with me?" He looked at me the biggest hazel eyes

"Sure"

And he just giggled and pulled me towards his toys on the floor

"I'm going to give you two some time to talk," Emily said and left the room

"So Zayn tell me about yourself how old are you?"

"I'm this many." He said holding out one of his hands meaning he was 5

"How old you mister Liam," the raven-haired boy asked

"I'm 24" I responded

And all he did was giggle

"Zayn why are you wearing a dress?" I questioned

"Cause I look pretty." Responding with smile

After a few minutes of playing, I saw Zayn was getting tired when he yawned and rubbed his eyes.

"Are you sleepy?" I asked him

All he did was nodded his head then he raised his arms making grabby hands towards me wanting me to pick him up

So I picked him up and placed him on my hip once I did he rested his head on my shoulder on closed his eyes

I carried him to his bed and laid him down when I did he started whining "what's wrong Zanyie?" I asked him

"I want mister teddy." He said whining I saw a bear and gave it to him and he got all happy and he fell asleep it was the cutest site ever

I quietly walked out of his and walked downstairs to Mrs. Smith helping another child.

"So what do think of Zayn I understand if you don't want him."

"No he's perfect it's just what is his actual age?"

"He is 18, so you want to Zayn?"

"Yes just give me a couple of days and I'll come back and get him."
I replied

"Great just sign the paperwork and Zayn are all yours."

"That's great but why does this place exist?" I asked her.

She looked at me sighed "This place is for teens who abused by their families growing up so they regressed so deep into the headspace that sometimes it takes a while for them to come back out." She said with a sad look on her face

"Wow," I said in shock I never thought this is what this place was for

"Yeah when some come in it takes them a few months to come back out of it, but some come in worse than others that it takes years for them to come back out."

"So what is zayn?" I asked

"Zayn is one worse case he first came here when he 16 and he still hasn't come out of his headspace the age of the regression has gotten older but nothing other than that." She replied

I sat there trying to absorb all of this information.

"Now I understand stand if you don't want him-"

"No it's not that it's just a lot of information to take in that's all, "I told her.

"Now usually zayn does not take kindly to men but he seemed to like you."

When she said that all I could was smile.

"Well, I'll get the paperwork so you can adopt him."

"Great thank you very much," I said with a smile on my face.

I can't believe this cute baby was going to mine.
