Adopted by Luke Hemmings

It's been a few days and we are finally leaving the large house in London. I'm excited to go home for a week, but I'm even more excited to tour America for the next four months, then we head off to Ireland. I'm excited for Emma to meet my family. She may be a little nervous, but she'll make it.

We just boarded the plane and Michael is already playing some computer game. Emma is coloring on the floor with Ashton and Calum is glued to his phone. I'm currently watching Emma and Ashton color pictures of puppies.

We landed a few hours later and I carried Emma to the car. She is currently watching Frozen on my computer as I drive. I pulled into the driveway and I already see that Calum has arrived. Ashton went to his parents and so did Michael. Calum and I are leaving in the morning.

I got out a sleeping Emma and go inside the house. I laid her down in her room, which is lavender. Her comforter is light gray and white zebra print. The rug is white and there are a few bright colored throw pillows in the floor. There are also a few pictures hanging on the wall and she has a little desk and colors and papers and she has an iPad that my mom bought for her for when we travel.

After I left and shut the door my phone started to ring. It's my mom.

"Hello?"

"Luke, it's mom."

"Hello mom."

"Did you fly in today?"

"Yes ma'am."

"How was it? Good I assume?"

"It was indeed and good flight. Ashton and Emma colored the whole time and she's now taking a nap."

"She's doing good as well? When are you coming for a visit?"

"She's great, yeah. And we're coming in the morning and we'll stay the night. But we have to come home the next day because we have rehearsal and sound check for the new album. Then we leave Saturday for New York."

"You guys seems busy. I was just checking in on my son and granddaughter. I love you both and I'll see you tomorrow."

"Bye mom. Love you too."

I hung up and Calum jumped on me from behind. I laughed as I shoved him off. We sat on the couch and we ordered in pizza. After it arrived, Emma came from upstairs, holding a blanket in her hand and she crawled into my lap.

"Sleep well?" I asked as she nodded and laid on me.

We all ate pizza and watched movies the rest of the day. Michael ended up coming back because he didn't feel like staying. Ashton is returning tomorrow afternoon, but we'll be gone by then.

During the third movie Emma had fallen asleep. I carried her upstairs and covered her up. I stayed in there for a while and packed her stuff for tomorrow night. After I went ahead and put both our bags away in the trunk of my car.

I went back inside and went to bed myself so I can get up early.

I wake up and take a quick shower. Today, only my brother Ben and Jack will be there, along with my parents. After I dressed in a white t-shirt and my black skinny jeans and my converse I woke Emma up. She just came into my arms and she laid her head on my shoulder as I picked her outfit.

I dressed Emma in a pale yellow shirt and white shorts, along with her white VANS. I brushed her hair and pulled it up for her. She was too tired to say goodbye to Calum and Michael. Ashton will probably call later on his way back to the house.

I finally pulled into my parents driveway and Emma was playing on her iPad.

"You ready?" I asked her as she glanced at the house then back at me.

"Awe, love don't cry," I spoke as I got out of the car and I opened the door on her side.

I unbuckled her and picked her up and she cried on my shoulder. I set her down after I shut the door and she looked at me.

"What's wrong?" I asked as I wiped away her tears.

"I'm scared," she whispered.

"Don't be scared. They won't hurt you, alright?" I said as she nodded.

I got our stuff from the car and we just walked in. I didn't feel like knocking on the front door.

"Mom, I'm home!" I called.

She came from the kitchen and hugged me tightly after I set our bags down at the foot of the stairs. She looked down at Emma and began talking to her as I went upstairs and set my bags in my old room. I walk into the upstairs living room and saw my brother Jack playing WII, Mario to be exact.

"Still that shit game?" I commented from behind him as he turned and looked at me, a smile growing on his face.

He rose from his seat on the floor and gave me a hug.

"Where's my niece?" he asked as we came back downstairs.

We went into the kitchen and she sat on the counter and she was sipping on a juice box. I waved to her and she waved back.

"Enma, this is your uncle Jack," I said as I got her off the counter. She walked up to him and hugged his legs. That's new.

"Oh honey I'm home!" Ben called through the door.

"Ben!" I called as I turned around from stuffing my face with chips.

"Luke!" he said back as we hugged.

"Where's my niece?" he asked as Emma came in and tugged on my shirt.

"Hi," Ben said as he bent down to her level.

"Hi," she smiled as she leaned against my legs.

"What's your name?" he asked her.

"Emma," she smiled, "yours?"

"I'm your Uncle Ben," he said.

A few hours later Emma took a nap and we all, including my mom and dad, went upstairs to have a game night. Once she awoke, Emma crawled in my lap.

We ate dinner and we went back upstairs and watched movies on Netflix. We were all in pyjamas and Emma was laying on me. I had a pillow under me and a blanket over the two of us. We were watching some movie, but Emma and I both fell asleep.
