"So...what do you think?" Lucy asked Liam. They'd spent the last two hours discussing the pros and cons of fostering Harry.

"Well...I guess we could see if it could happen. maybe meet him first though?"

"I'll ask. I'm sure it would be ok though. I just think we could be so good for him. If you're sure we could cope without me working?"

"Yes, we'll cope, we'll get money for fostering him anyway. It's not like we're hard up."

"Good, so can we go ahead." Lucy smiled.

"Ok."

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Lucy jumped up and down and threw herself into Liam's open arms.

*****

Lucy had got the ok to let her family meet Harry. Today was the day!

"Hey Harry! You know I've told you about my family? Well.... they've come to visit...if you'd like to meet them?" Lucy smiled at the frightened looking boy.

"It's ok, they are lovely boys and I think you'd love my husband. Can I send them in, maybe one at a time?" She asked.

Harry nodded, but laid back on his pillow, pulling the sheet up to his chin.

Lucy opened the door and said "come in love!" to a small blonde haired boy, who walked in, cautiously, towards Harry.

"Say hello." Lucy spoke to him.

"H-Hi... I'm Niall...are you Harry?" Harry nodded.

"You're very small!" He said, earning a look from Lucy.

"Niall... be nice!"

"I am being nice Mummy, I was only saying he's very small, because he is."

"Ok love. Why don't you give Harry his present?" Harry's eyes lit up hearing the word present.

"Here Harry. I got you a colouring book and crayons, I got it with my pocket money and wrapped it myself." Niall looked chuffed with himself. His Mum cooed at the boy.

Harry smiled and pulled the sheet down, taking the gift from Niall. "Th-Thank you." Harry whispered, pulling carefully at the paper.

He ripped the paper right off and looked at the book. It was pictures of various animals. Harry didn't know what they were, but he smiled.

"Do you like it? Maybe I can help you colour?" Niall said hopefully.

Harry nodded and smiled at Niall.

"Why don't he talk Mummy?"

"Niall!! He's just shy. Come on let's get your brother in."

"Bye Harry!" Niall waved as he left. Harry waved back.

Next to walk in was Zayn.

"Hey Harry, I'm Zayn. I'm 10 years old. How old are you? Do you have any brothers or sisters? I wanted a sister, but Mum won't let us have one. It's not fair. Do you have any pets?"

"Zayn, don't ask too many questions." Lucy laughed. "Give Harry your present.

"Uh? Oh yeah yeah! Well, I didn't know what you'd like, so I got you this..." He handed Harry a small coloured cube. Harry held it, looking curiously, then looked at Lucy, as if asking what is it?

"It's a Rubik's cube love. You get someone to mix it up like this..." She shuffled the cube "...and then you have to try and get the sides the same colour again. It's fun!"

Harry took the cube and gently moved it about, his tiny hands struggled a bit, and after five minutes he gave up, but looked at Zayn and smiled. "Thank you!" He said. Zayn smiled back.

"Say bye now."

"Bye Harry!" Zayn said. Harry waved.

Finally... Louis came in, all smiley.

"Harry! Hiya! I'm Louis. Louis sat on the bed in front Harry, crossing his legs.

Louis studied Harry's face and said "oh wow! You have green eyes! I've never seen green eyes before! Mum! Have you seen his eyes?" Louis was amazed by Harry's emerald eyes.

Lucy giggled. "Yes love, I've seen them, they're pretty aren't they?"

"Yeah... they're like grass. I didn't know people could have green eyes. That makes you special Harry!" He said enthusiastically.

Harry felt his face flush, and smiled shyly. He even giggled.

"Oh.. I've got you a pressie too. Hope you like it. It was mine, but I thought you could play with it!" He handed Harry a Spiderman bendy doll.

Harry's face lit up and he smiled widely. He took the doll and hugged it tightly, making Louis and Lucy smile, thinking how cute Harry looks.

"Thank you Lou-eee!" Harry said. He'd never had any presents before, it was overwhelming.

Lucy noticed Harry looking tired.

"Lou... let's just get Dad in then Harry needs a nap ok?"

Louis nodded and got off the bed. He leant down and kissed Harry's cheek.  "Bye Harry, see you soon!" He waved, Harry waved back.

Liam came in and sat next to Harry on a chair.

"Hello Harry." He said gently. "I'm Liam, Lucy's husband." He smiled at the sleepy looking lad.

Harry looked at Liam and smiled.

Liam put his hand down on the bed, and Harry put his hand on top of it, surprising both Liam and Lucy. Harry moved closer to Liam and rested his head on Liam's arm, and closed his eyes.

"Oh my god Li!" Lucy whispered. "That's so cute!" She felt a lump in her throat.

Liam looked down at the boy, knowing that they need to see if they can foster him.

"He's adorable!" Liam replied, smiling at Lucy. She put her arm around Liam's shoulders.

"I know. I told you didn't I? I think the boys love him. We've got to try Li...please?"

Liam nodded, and they both sat next to Harry watching him sleep.


Awww...I thought this was cute. Harry meeting the family for the first time...lovely!

All the love xxx
