The Adoption (A Zayn Malik Fanfic)

Ch. 2 - A Day Out

I was awoken during the middle of the night by a small cry at my bedroom door. I sat up to see Jordan standing there and crying. Her small hand rubbed her small eye. Her lips were pouted as I saw tears falling down her face. Quickly I got up and walked over to her and picked her up.

"What's wrong, Baby?" I asked her.

"I had a bad dweam." She stuttered. "Can I sweep with you?"

"Of course you can." I carried her over to my bed and laid her down in it. Covering her with the black duvet. I crawled in beside her and held her small hand.

"Can you thing for me?" She asked. I nodded and began to sing Moments to her. As softly and as calmly as I could.

She was asleep in just a minute. I kissed her head and laid down on my back. Sleep soon overpowering my own senses.

When I woke up, Jordan was in a fetal position on top of me. Her thumb tiny in her mouth. Slowly, and gently, I removed her thumb and softly tried to remove her off of me and onto the bed. When I succeeded, my phone started to vibrate. Quickly I picked it up and whispered my hello.

"Hey Zayn! It's Niall! The boys and I are going to a party later! Wanna join us?" Niall asked.

"Um, I'd love to but I'm a little busy." I replied.

"Did the Zayn Malik get busy last night?" He teased. I could practically see him winking already.

"No. Come over and I'll explain."

"Ok." We hung up and I got up from the bed. I quietly walked out of the room and went to the guest bedroom where William was. Or was supposed to be.

I started to panic. I hadn't had the twins for a day and I already lost one of them. How am I going to be a good parent when I lose one of my kids?

I ran down the stairs and looked everywhere. He wasn't in the kitchen or living room. He wasn't outside either. I went back upstairs and looked in all the other rooms. Finally, the last place left to look was the bathroom.

I entered the bathroom and saw him playing in the tub with a lufa. I laughed. He looked up at me and smiled.

"I should give you and your sister a bath shouldn't I?" I asked him. He nodded excitedly and started to clap his hands.

"In here?!" He asked enthusiastically. I nodded. He cheered in happiness. I chuckled and went to get Jordan.

"Jordan? Jordan, wake up, Sweetie." I said softly while gently rocking her. She groaned in protest.

"Come on baby wake up." She grabbed the dark coloured duvet and pulled it over her head. She definitely was like me. Never wanting to wake up.

"Jordan. If you don't wake up I'm gonna tickle you." She turned around still with closed eyes and said, "Do your worst." I chuckled with her reply and soon began to tickle her. Her laughs were loud and she started to wiggle around in different directions.

"Are you awake now?" She nodded while still laughing. "Alright now lets go take a bath with William."

"Can I go back to bed?" She grumbled instantly. I laughed and shook my head. I picked her up before she could scramble away and brought her to the bathroom.

"Ok you two. Your uncle Niall is coming over in a little bit so I need you both to be squeaky clean." They both giggled. I reached over and got William out of the high tech tub and turned on the water. They watched as if in amazement.

"Let's get you two out of these dirty clothes."

After getting the two into the bath with bubbles and getting them bath toys, they started to play a bit. Laughing and splashing water. I laughed along with them as William got a bubble beard. At one point I was able to get a bunch on top of Jordan's head.
