Adopted by.... 1D?

Chapter 4

“Harry and I were looking to adopt this little boy named Kai. He was born prematurely and his mother didn’t want him. She gave him up and he was having a lot of trouble. We were going to wait until he was 3 months old to tell you we wanted to adopt him…” A tear leaked out of Louis’s eye and Harry grabbed his hand.

“Last night, we received a call that he had had trouble breathing and his lungs collapsed because they weren’t fully developed. He was in NIC U the whole night. Um… he didn’t make it through the night. Kai died and uh… that’s why I was crying.”

“I’m sorry. But why would they call you at 2:50 am?”

“Because we asked them to call us if anything happened to him.” Louis had tears falling silently down his face, his voice shaking.

“Oh Louis. I’m so sorry!” Perrie said. She was crying as well. Harry was holding Louis’s hand and looking straight ahead.

“Haz, Lou; I’m so sorry. I wish I had known.” Liam hugged both of them and wiped away their tears. He was being Daddy Direction once again. He kissed Harry on the forehead and Louis on the cheek.

“Mates, that sucks. I wish I had known about Kai. You could’ve told us.”

“I just didn’t want all of you to have to worry about him.” Louis smiled sadly and looked to MG.

“You still wanna adopt?”

“Not sure. We’ll think about it.” Niall moved around in the bed and opened his eyes.

“Hey,” he said, his voice rough and scratchy.

“How you feeling mate? You had a near scrape there.” Liam kissed him and Niall closed his eyes again.

“Wait!??!!” Niall snapped his eyes open and looked from Louis to Harry. “What happened to you guys?”

“Their little boy they were looking to adopt died. He died last night.”

“That’s why he was crying.”

“Yeah. Now go back to sleep. It’s 10:30.”

The doctor came in and told them only 2 could stay the night, his closest family members. Liam and MG. Louis and Harry left anyway because they were going to talk together about adoption. Zayn and Perrie were going to leave and “talk over some things.”

“Night guys. We will be home in the morning hopefully.”

Everyone said goodnight and left. Liam took a picture of MG and Niall sleeping together, posted it on Twitter, explaining they had adopted, and that Niall was Ok. Within seconds, 120 favors.

Liam settled down into one of the plastic chairs by the bed and fell asleep, his head lolled on his shoulder.

Sorry it's short, but it's part of my main plan for the story :)
