Smile (A One Direction Fanfic)

Chapter 7

My eyes widened in disbelief. Woah, wow, crazy.  This is actually happening! I gasped and looked around at all the different, anxious eyes on me.

“I’ve always wanted a mum!” I cheered excitedly.  Everyone started cheering and laughing.  Harry grabbed me right from mums arms  and started spinning my in the air,  “Hey everyone, I have a new baby sister!” He screamed loudly, making me laugh my head off.  He brought me down to his height, smiling at me, “Come on give your big brother a kiss,” he puckered up is lips waiting and I brought my smaller lips to his (If someone thinks its weird for them to kiss on the lips, get over it they’re now related and she’s very little and it’s sweet).  I heard squealing in the background as Harry and I both looked at Gemma to see her holding her phone up. “I can't believe I just got that shot! I’m amazing, look how cute this is!”  Harry rolled his eyes as I laughed.  Niall perked in, as I kinda forgot they were there, “Come on lets go buy her. I wannabring her home!”  I broke out into laughter, but the other boys didn’t find it as funny.  Anne spoke up, “Don’t speak of my daughter as a dog, Niall James.” She scolded him, and I felt a different kind of pride inside that I could finally be known as someones daughter.  I’ve always imagined how it would be and it’s even better than I thought.  

“Awwww Anna’s blushing!” Louis teased. Oh man this never happens,  The Anna No Last Name never blushes.  I hid my face in Harry’s shoulder and felt him shake with deep laughter.  What is this family doing to me?

I danced around my room even though I only have one belonging and that would be my toy bunny that was extremely dirty and tattered, but it still meant a lot to me.

I was all happy and carefree until Elizabeth walked in with a sad smile on her face.  The smile was immediately wiped off my face as the first of her tears feel down her cheeks.  I ran over and hugged her tightly until I felt the warm tears fall over my own face.

“No no no.  Don’t cry.  Your childhood is going to be amazing now, they are amazing people and your going to be great I promise.”

I sniffed in, wiped my eyes, and held my chin up.  “Come on smile for me!”

I should be happy for my last moments in this hell hole, but there was a small piece of me that ached from leaving my home of 5 years.  I took one last glance at the bedroom and hopped down the stairs, the excitement back.

I walked up to the table ledge where they were signing the documents with Ms. Robbin.  She came back with a pen and took off the cap to find no ink cartridge in it.  She growled in annoyance and turned to me.

“What did you little maggots do?” She seethed through her teeth.  Liam stepped in front of me while Zayn picked me up, but she didn’t intimidate me.  “Oh those are long gone.”  She went to grab another pen.  “nope we wiped out your whole collection.” I grinned widely at her as she took a menacing step towards me.  Liam came in between us though and whispered so calmly it was scary, “I really don’t think you want to do that."  She turned on her heel and walked out of the room.  “We can leave!” Zayn shook me excitedly, “Let me just say good bye real fast.” They nodded understandingly and watched as I walked away to hug each girl individually.  I came to the end of the line back to Elizabeth, but this time she was smiling.  “Where do I want to see you?” She asked.  I rolled my eyes but smiled,  “In the olympics.”  I responded.  “That’s right.”  Elizabeth had the idea in her head that I would make it to the olympics for gymnastics.  It kinda was my dream.  She gave me one last hug.  I walked back to my new family and grabbed mum’s hand, and my other hand holding the bunnies.  “Ready?”  “You bet.”

We walked out of the orphanage and to the car.  I turned around to see all the girls crowding the upstairs window.  Laughing and waving goodbye.  Liam lifted me into the van and I was off to my new life.

Cars are fun!  Except the part where apparently I have to sit in a car seat.

My legs dangled over the seat a good 2 feet off the floor, as Harry sat to my right, Gemma the left, and mum was driving.  The other boys were dropped at home and apparently did not live close at all.  I would see the boys soon because they were going back on “tour” soon, whatever that means.

“I spy with my little eye something,” My face contorted into a thinking face causing Harry to lean over and kiss my face, “Yuck!” I wiped it off with my palm. “Ah! Something red!” Different answers were shot at me, “The car seat, my jacket.” “Wait, wait, never mind we passed it.” Gemma burst out laughing as Harry narrowed his eyes at me.  I gave him my best toothy grin, “I love you, Harry.” A happy smile spread across his face and the next thing I know I’m being unbuckled.

 “Harry! Leave her in her seat.” He didn’t stop, “Harry”, Anne warned again, until she saw how excited I was and gave a small smile of approval.  I was lifted off the seat and placed into Harry’s lap sideways, so I was facing Gemma.

“So are you guys in the mood for McDonalds, pizza, just a quick stop at the grocery store?” Mum asked from the front as we drove into a shopping center in a town.

“McDonalds.” Harry responded right away.

Gemma made a disgusted face, “No definitely pizza.”

“I’ve never had any.”  Harry held my body out in front of him, arms length away.  My feet dangled in air and I couldn’t help but laugh.

“We have so much to teach her!” 

“Lets go get some McDonalds!” Harry cheered.  Gemma groaned but didn’t reject.

Harry stepped outside the car first holding out his arms for me as I jumped into them.  He placed my feet on the ground as I quickly latched my hand onto mum’s. 

It  was about 7:00 and being in the midsts of February the air was cold and the night sky darkening quite fast. As we walked towards the restaurant people bustled in and out of different doors.  I didn’t have a coat and therefore was freezing my bum off.  Harry must have noticed because the next thing I know Harry’s warm sweatshirt was being placed over my head.  The comfy material warmed me right away.  It ended right above my ankles and passed my hands a good 5 inches.  Harry, Gemma, and mum all started laughing immediately as I giggled, content in my new favorite sweatshirt.  Harry took out his phone and snapped a picture.  We continued our walk to McDonalds.  As we entered a great scent entered my nose.  

Harry leaned down to my hight, “Guess what the best part is?” he asked, with a smirk.

My excitement now spilled over, “What, what!”  

“Your’s comes with a toy!”

Oh! This is the best thing that has ever happened to me! “My own toy! My very own toy!”

He laughed and picked me up,”Believe me, you will be getting so many toys soon that your’e gonna not want any more toys.”

I gasped, “That’s not possible.”

As me and Harry talked, mum had already ordered our food.  We sat down at a metal table as I bit into my chicken nugget, “Mmmmm this is amazing!”

I didn’t even realize how tired I was getting, my eyelids started drooping and before I knew it, I was being buckled into my car seat, still clad in my favorite sweatshirt, finally ready to go home.
