their daughter

01

The year was 2014, One Direction was booming. Then one day an idea struck Louis Tomlinson that would change their lives forever.

"Lads can we have a little meeting?" Louis yelled into their house. He then heard four pairs of feet hitting each step carefully as the ran down to see what the twenty three year old wanted.

"If it's something about our relationship and management we're quitting" Harry said. No it's not larry, but the five as a group decided to be in each other's love lives. They all counted each other as one another's boyfriends, it wasn't that serious.

"Love they let us do this last year they're not gonna change their minds now, but that's not what I wanna discuss" The blue eye boy didn't know if he even wanted to say his idea. Liam sensed his tension and rubbed his shoulders.
"What do you gotta tell us Lou?" Zayn asked

Louis took a deep breath and then spoke "I want to adopt a child" As Louis finished his sentence he closed his eyes as if he was wincing because he thought the boys would yell at him. Silence fell upon the living room and no one spoke a word. "stupid me" he muttered to himself before he felt a hand around his wrist pulling him back to the couch.

"Lou, I think that's a great idea" Niall said and Louis looked up and everyone else. "It would help our relationship and help with our maturity" the blonde added. For the rest of the night the spoke about everything and everyone seemed to agree with Louis. The looked up adoption agencies near by and made an appointment at a local one tomorrow. The group decided to head upstairs to bed before Louis heard Zayn.

"What if management finds out?" Zayn asked looking upset. Louis walked down the stairs and grabbed his chin. "Then we quit" That was the simplest answer. Louis kisses the raven hairs cheek and told him goodnight.

The next day arrived and each boy was excited in their own way. They all basically shoved their breakfast in their mouthes and begin to get ready to leave.

When they were about to head out the door Louis had one last thing to say.

"This might be the last time we walk out if this house without a baby lads." They all then made their way to the car and sped to the agency. The walked in with smiles hoping for a great first impression.

"Hello! You must be the lovely group of boys I spoke to last night. Have a seat!" A front desk lady greeted while she went to grab some files about children. She came back with a grin and sat in front of the boys.

"Alright well can I head an age range for the child?" She asked. Louis answered with around one to three years old. She then looked at him with not a happy smile. "Well boys." She began and each lad to a deep breath expecting the worse.

"We do not have any children with us currently, but I think I have an even better choice" They quickly went from upset to eager to hear what it was. "We have a mother who is seven months pregnant with a baby girl. She contacted us saying she'll be giving the baby up for adoption. I think she's a perfect match for you guys"

They didn't even have to think about it before jumping up. "We want her" Harry struggles to get words out of his mouth as he was overcome with emotions. For the next hour the five sat with the social working, talking to the mother and arranging details about the birth so on and so forth.

The next two months in the One Direction household were hectic. They had only the last months to prepare for a newborn baby in their house, but they also had another obstacle to overcome. Management. They all knew they won't be happy but they knew if they didn't accept their decision then they'd simply quit.

Two months went by in a flash and before they knew it they were in the hospital waiting room waiting for the arrival of their daughter. They were in a meeting with management about tour when they got the call so they had to make an excuse that Niall needed to get his knee checked out.

"Are you ready?" Liam asked. Each boy have a different reaction. Zayn, Louis, Harry were over come with all emotions possible to even get out words. Niall on the other hand was crying about how much love he was going to give his daughter. Hours past with no news, that was until around four am a doctor came out to greet them.

"We're happy to announce that a beautiful baby girl was delivered just a few minutes ago and she is wanting to meet her daddies" He opened his arms showing them the door and the boys ran into the room. When they saw the newborns face they immediately cried.

"C-Can I hold her?" Niall stuttered out asking for permission from the mother. "Go ahead, she's all yours" She said with a faint smile because she was tired. Each boy took turns holding the baby until they needed to think of a name.

"Do we want it to be simple or like never heard of before" Zayn asked while he rubbed his thumb against the babies cheek. "Short and simple" Louis said. They went through names even Niall pitching in Nandy, like 'Nandos'

"Annie Rose" Louis whispered. The boys immediately looked at him. "Louis that's beautiful" Harry said. When the doctor came back in the immediately told him what they've decided on.

"And a last name?" He asked. Once again the boys looked at each other as if they had seven heads each. "Tomlinson" Liam spoke. Louis looked at him with tears in his eyes. If it wasn't for Louis they wouldn't be here right now.

Around two days later they finally got to take Annie home and they had to take a 'super secret' way out so then paps wouldn't see them. Rumors already had began to spread about the boys being in the hospital and fans began to huddle outside looking for answers. They were all cuddled together at home with Annie on Niall's chest.

"We need to tell management" Harry spoke up. They hated to admit it but they had to. They couldn't hide her forever. They next day came and they all had a meeting with Simon. Harry decided to wait outside his office with Annie for a little bit while the other four talk to Simon.

"Boys. Where have you been? You've gone MIA since you've taken Niall to the hospital for his knee" They all shared glances not knowing how to lay it down to him. "Well Simon we do want you to meet someone" Louis said in a barely audible tone.

"This outta be good. Who is he? An old mate from primary school?" Louis took a deep breath before texting Harry to come in. They all heard the large wooden door creek open and they hoped for the best. Harry sat down with Annie in his lap, not long before Liam took her in his arms.

"Simon this is our daughter...Annie Rose Tomlinson" Liam said with a straight face to his boss. Simon stood there dumbfounded not knowing how to take this information.

"This is not happening. You can't have her boys  she'll ruin your look." The group of men then stood up without a word until Louis said something. "We're done. We're quitting , you can't control our lives this much" Louis stayed in the room while the others exited.

"Fine." Simon kept a straight face, he wasn't playing games. "Sign this paper and you're out of our contract." Louis read it over before signing and slamming the pen down. "Thank you for these past four years, it's been a pleasure." After that they made it their mission to give Annie the best childhood ever.

——————

They watched Annie take her first steps, say her first words, and look up to these men in admiration as her fathers. They were glad she was growing up out of the spotlight. Were they? Yes they wanted to protect their daughter at all costs.
