Zayn's Pov

I had put one of the car seats in my car-seeing as though we were driving around in my car- we were now on our way to see Cassandra "I'm so nervous Zayn" Perrie says as we arrive at the orphanage. The drive was really short, like a 5 minute drive. We got out of the car and began walking up the steps to the orphanage. It wasn't old and rundown looking it looked like a wealthy place, all the windows were nice, no cracks or anything so was the front door. Perrie knocks on the door "I really want to take her home" I say "we haven't met her yet she might not like us" Perrie says. The door suddenly opens "sorry about that, one of the little girls got paint in her hair so she needed a bath" the lady in-front of us says "oh it's fine really we haven't been waiting long" Perrie smiles. "Well come on in it's Mr. and Mrs. Malik  isn't it?" the lady asks "oh call us Perrie and Zayn please" I say "well I'm Lydia it's nice to meet you both" Lydia says.


Lydia takes us into the office "so Cassandra is currently having a nap" Lydia says, "she hasn't fully developed yet, she was born 2 months early she still needs teething rings, she has rusks. Cassandra has an obsession over Disney she likes to play with toys that the other children have, she also gets tired out easy as well so she's not hard to get to sleep" Lydia says laughing at the end bit, we laugh with her. "Does she have any allergies or any foods she won't eat?" I ask "she's allergic to penicillin, she won't eat any fish but we're trying to get her to eat it sometimes, she tries to get out of eating her vegetables she'll say 'no' but she has to eat them" Lydia says. "Can she talk properly?" Perrie asks  "not really but she can say, hello, bye-bye, please thank you, yes and no" Lydia replies. "How did she end up into care?" I ask "her mother died whilst giving birth and the father was not around so she was sent her straight away, there was no other family on record" Lydia says, poor baby.

As we talk there was a soft knock on the door "come in" Lydia says softly a girl no older than 15 opened the door, with a tired looking little girl wrapped in a pink blanket in her arms she had a dummy in her mouth her light brown hair was a little messy, "Sally woke Cassandra up from her nap she's a little tired" the girl said walking into the room "thank you Amy you can go now" Lydia dismisses her as she is handed Cassandra. "Cassandra, sweetheart, this nice couple want to take you home with them can you say hello?" Lydia informs the little girl, "hello" Cassandra says shyly "hello sweetheart" I say "hello" Perrie smiles. "Would you want to come home with us, we have a dog called Hatchi and a cat called Prada they like little people like you" I say "yes" Cassandra squeals.

We talked for a while longer, "I'll just need you to sign this form then you can take her home, I'll be coming in 3 months to check up on how everything is going" Lydia says me and Perrie grin from ear to ear. Cassandra sat on the floor playing with a toy. We both sign the papers to gain legal rights of Cassandra. "Cassandra has no middle name so would you like to give her one?" Lydia says "Doniya" me and Perrie say at the same time. Cassandra Doniya Malik.
