I Adopted One Direction

Chapter 1: The Beginning

Ashlyn's p.o.v

"Truth or dare?"

"Dare"

"I dare you to adopt and take care of 5 boys for a year."

~~|~~|~~|~~|~~|~~|~~|~~|~~|~~|~~|~~|~~|~~|~~

The words that haunt me as I walk up the steps of the orphanage when I gain the courage to start the year of my life.

"Why hello! You must be Ashlyn!" Some lady in the doorway exclaimed.

"How'd ja know?" I ask with a bright smile like I've known her for years.

"Your friend called and said you'd be here. You want 5 young boys, correct?"

"Crazy, I know."

"Not crazy... Just a workload... You know what you're getting into right?"

"Unfortunately I do."

"Come right inside... The boys are waiting."

I walked inside to find 5 toddlers waiting in the living room. The lady introduced them to me. The conversation went something like this:

Lady: "there's Niall, Liam, Louis, Zayn, and Harry"

Liam: "what's your name?"

Lady: "Liam we don't shout out things at our guest."

Liam: "well If we're going to get adopted by her we should at least know her name!"

Lady: "you have a point there..."

Me: "I'm Ashlyn."

Liam: "what do you want us to call you?"

Me: "Ashlyn or Ash I guess."

He nods and the lady turns to me.

"Would you like to sign the papers now?"

"Why wouldn't i?"

"I might as well tell you the important stuff now. Liam only has one working kidney so he shouldn't drink too much of anything. Louis likes to goof off. Niall is friendly to absolutely anybody. Harry is well... Sweet innocent little Harry. Zayn is the one to look out for. He's very independent and quiet until he gets comfortable around you. He bounces off the walls when he has sugar so beware of that. Oh and unless he's happy he doesn't like to show his emotions. Liam is the most responsible and is like the leader of their little group even though Louis is the oldest."

"Can I get that in writing?"

"Silly dear, everything you need to know is in this portfolio. It includes medical records, education, personality, etc. Now you just need to fill out this form and you can take the boys home with you."

"Thanks."

"No thank you dear. The boys have been here for a while. They need someone besides me to take care of them."

"Do you mind if I ask how they got here?"

"No not at all. They either got abandoned or their parents couldn't care for them. They all said they didn't care if someone adopted them."

I nod and sit down and fill out the form.

*15 minutes later*

"Excuse me Miss, I'm done with the form." I tell the lady.

"Oh I'll take that. The boys have bags with all their stuff in it, so you can just take them and go home!" She says with an award winning smile.

"Thanks. What's your name?"

"Ms. Schmitt"

"Thanks again."

"No problem dear!"

I walk over to where the boys were sitting the entire time.

"Are you ready to go home with me?"

"Yeah, c'mon guys let's go." Liam gets up and motions for everyone else to follow. They all follow me to the car and I help buckle them in... They're still young.

"Ashwin what's home wike?" Harry asks in a baby voice.

"Well Harry, you'll know soon enough." I didn't know exactly what he was asking so I just went with that. I walk to the front of the car, get in, and start driving.

*30 seconds later*

"Are we there yet?"

"Not yet... But soon enough"

"When's soon?"

"Soon enough"

*30 seconds later*

"Are we there now?"

"No"

"Ok..... How bout now"

"Not yet"

"When?"

"Soon"

"When's soon?"

"Soon"

"When's that"

"In a while.

"How long is a while?"

"A few minutes."

"How long is a few minutes?"

"Soon"

"How long is soon"

"A while."

"How long's a while?"

"A few minutes"

"How longs that?"

"You'll have to find out."

*30 seconds later*

"Are we there yet."

"No"

*30 seconds later*

"Are we there yet?"

"Yes"

"Really?!?"

"No"

"Awww"

*30 seconds later*

"Are we..."

"Yes we are here. Our home."

"Yaaay!!!"

Louis was really annoying during the car ride.

"Ashlyn... You're my mummy now right?" Niall asked nervously.

"Yeah, but you don't have to think of me as your mum. More like your older sister. Ok?"

He nods.

"Well we only have two rooms available. Three of you will have to share one room and two in the other room."

"Louis!" Harry runs over to Louis and grabs his waist and Louis puts his arm around Harry.

"Well we're gonna be together!" Louis laughs.

"Me Zayn and Niall will take the room for 3" Liam says putting his arms around the other boys in sort of a protective manner. "Oh and you do know Harry is still in a crib right?"

"Oh yeah, it's already in the room."

"K just making sure."

"Why don't you go unpack your things?" They all run up the stairs and unpack.

Wait a minute, Liam really is the responsible one, and Zayn still hasn't spoken a word since I met him
