Our Baby Girl (An Adopted By One Direction Story)

Chapter 3: Reading Time or Family Time?

Jess's POV

After my little disapperance, it was just me, my dad, and uncles.  My mom and aunts left to do work. I haven't really called Louis my dad or the other guys my uncles. You know what I'm saying. It takes time. I was in the living room reading the Harry Potter book. Its really interesting. I'm not going to spoil it for you. I want you to read it.

"Jess, you won't ever stop reading won't you?" Louis chuckled sitting next to me with a bowl popcorn.

"Yeah, until penguins are flying." I said sarcastically.

"Ha ha very funny." He answered. grabbing a handful of popcorn. He noticed that I'm staring at it. Ugh. Too much butter. He's gonna get big.

"Would you like some?" He asked.

"No, it has too much butter." I answered.

"Well then." He answered getting up from the couch and into the kitchen. I shrugged my shoulders and continued reading. I was again interruppted. Guess who? Louis.

"Here, one steamy bowl of noodles with vegetables." He announced handing it to mean.

I carefully hold the bowl in one hand and my book in the other. I walked to the kitchen and sat down in front of them table. I doved in with a fork Louis gave. I took the first bite. Mmmmm. It's good. I opened my book and started reading.

Louis's POV

"She's an interesting child. Isn't she?" I asked Liam. Liam and I were watching her eat and read in the kitchen. Jess didn't noticed us yet surprisingly. 

"I know what kid loves to read and eat vegetables?" He chuckled.

"I bet she doesn't know what fun is." I said.

"Let's go ask her." Liam said walking over to her.

We sat down on the chairs next to her. 

"Jess, sweetie, do you do anything else besides reading?" Liam asked her.

"Yeah, of course. I write, breathe, look, talk. You know what everyone else does." She said sarcastically. You gotta love her sarcastic remarks.

"No, that's not what I meant. Do you do anything um fun? I'm not saying your not fun though." Liam said hoping that he did not offend her.

"Um, not really. In the oprhange, I just read. We weren't allowed to go outside." She told him.

"Oh, well today. We're going to the zoo." I told her.

"Um. Okay. But one question. What's a zoo?" She asked us.

"Well, you're going to find out!" I said happily.

"Okay. Let's call mommy  to see if she could come." I told her. I thought she was going to ask "is her whole family coming. Like Uncle Niall or Aunt Perrie going to come. But she asked.

"Can I call mommy please?" She asked me with the puppy face. Aww. Who can resist her cute little face? I think Liam is taking pictures of her face.

"Sure why not kiddo." I answered ruffling her hair. She cheered. Anything for my daughter to stop reading or doing anything that seven year olds should not be doing. 

I pulled my phone from my jean pocket and called Eleanor. I handed Jess the phone.

"Jess, ask her if you want to go to the zoo. Okay?" I asked her bending down to her. I heard the phone started ringing already.

"Okay." She answered.

El: Hey, Louis. What's up?

Jess: Hi mommy!
