Adopted by Ashton Irwin

3 am

Hannah POV

I heard a strange noise coming from downstairs at 3 in the morning and I shot up from laying down in Ashton's bed. I heard another noise, louder and scarier this time. I didn't want to wake Ashton but I had too.

Ashton's POV

"Daddy" "pssss" Hannah whispered tapping me on the shoulder. I opened my eyes and saw on the clock that it was 3:00 am and wondered why Hannah was awake. I turned over to face her and her face looked like she was terrified.

"Baby what's wrong?" I asked her pulling her into my chest. She looked up at me saying

"I hear loud noises from downstairs and I think someone is down there." At first I think that she is just scared from the movie but then I hear the noises too. I couldn't get up and leave her to check the house, but the other boys are asleep. I decide to call Michael and try, he actually answers and I tell him to check. He sneaks into my room quietly and I tell him to be careful and then he goes down with a bat. We soon hear glass shattering and a lot of yelling. I grew very worried but I heard hannah start crying silently and my attention was now fully on her.

" no no princess shhh, your ok Mikey's ok, we'll be okay I promise." She was now facing me and my arms are wrapped around her while we were still laying down. She was still crying, her tears making my shirt damp.

"I'm s-scared daddy" she whimpered. I can't stand to see my angel like this. I'm really worried about Michael too.

"I know sweetie, I know. Hopefully it will be over soon. But I promise you that I won't let anything hurt you, you are safe here." I promised her.

She looked up at me into my eyes and I kissed her forehead and then i noticed that the noises from downstairs have stopped. I didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

"Baby girl, I need to go downstairs to see if everything is ok. The noises stopped." I said.

"But I don't want to stay here alone" she cried.

"I'll carry you then, yeah?" I questioned.

She nodded and I stood up at the edge of the bed and opened my arms for her to come in. She wrapped her legs around my waist and dug her head into my shoulder. I rubbed her back soothingly while walking down the stairs.

"Michael?" I called out into the darkness. I found him cleaning up some glass in the living room.

"There was a robber and luckily he didn't get away with anything because I stopped him, but we did break this vase and lamp. No one is hurt though, someone forgot to lock the door last night so he got in." Michael explained.

"Thank god your ok. We really need to check that door every night. My poor baby is so scared." I frowned at the last part. Michael came over and hugged Hannah telling he he was ok and we were fine. She looked up at me tears on her cheeks and her hair in her face. I wiped away the tears with my thumb and brushed the stray hairs away and then offered

"Let's all just go back to bed yeah?" They both agreed and once me and Hannah were back in my room I sat up with my back against the head board and pulled her onto my lap.

"Darling it's alright. It's all over now."

"It's just that was always a big fear of mine and it actually happened, and watching the scary movie before didn't help." She finally spoke up.

"Aww I'm sorry baby I didn't know you had that fear. And I'm sorry you had to watch that movie, I should of told the boys to stop it." I said.

"It's fine daddy. Thank you for being here though it made me feel safer" she spoke.

"I'll always be here Hannah. Let's try and get some sleep again." I said while laying us down. I thought about how cute it was how she said she felt safer with me.

"I love you daddy" she gushed. I kissed her temple.

"I love you to hannah so much" "goodnight" I said before drifting off into a peaceful sleep.
