3 Boys To Fill Our Life (Lilo family)

Chapter 1

Louis POV

After discussing details with the woman, who was called Danielle, and discussing having to go through the process of adopting Zayn and Niall, as Harry was already our adopted son, and that for now, Liam and I were their foster parents, she said goodbye to the three boys, with Harry giving her a hug, Zayn giving her a wet kiss on the cheek and a cute giggle, and Niall giving her a small wave. That left the 5 of us. Liam and I gave them a tour of the house, and showed them their bedrooms. Harry and Zayn would be sharing a bunk bed in one room, while Niall was taking the guest room, which I promised to decorate for him later. He showed his first smile when he realised that he was getting a bedroom to himself, and it didn't disappoint, that's for sure.

"So, I'm sure you guys are sleepy, huh?" I said, seeing the yawn that Niall was trying to hide after finishing the tour.

Harry nodded, while Niall and Zayn stayed quiet.

"Have you all eaten yet?" Liam asked.

"Yeah, Dani took us to Pizza Hut because she said we were her best boys" Harry replied, excitedly. I laughed.

"How about I get Zayn ready for bed, while Louis can get Harry ready, can you get ready yourself, Ni?" Liam asked, looking at Niall.

"My name is Niall, and it's fine, I can get them both ready for bed, I'll be back for Harry" he replied, reaching out for Zayn's hand.

Liam and I didn't intervene, not wanting to upset Niall. I hope that he does let us take care of him and the other boys eventually, but I knew that I would intervene soon, they were our sons. That thought made my heart flutter. Harry looked up at Niall in a pleading matter, but Niall just ruffled his hair and told him he'd be back. Liam was about to lead Niall to Zayn and Harry's bedroom, but he told us that he knew where it was himself. That left the 3 of us.

"So buddy, why don't you tell us about yourself?" Liam asked, trying to connect with Harry.

"Well, I'm a boy, and I'm 5" he replied, looking down shyly.

"Hmmm, well, that is something we already knew" Liam said, laughing.

"Ermmmm....Ni is my big brother and he looks after me, and he's 8 years old, and he likes football and we play together.....and Zaynie, he's my little brother, and he's only small, so Niall takes care of him too, and I like looking after him too, unless he chews on my toys" Harry said, smiling.

I couldn't help but coo at him. He was so cute.

"You love your brothers a lot, don't you?" I couldn't help but ask Harry.

"Yeah, a lot, this much" he replied, widening his arms to the widest he could, and then he started whizzing around the room, with his arms still wide. Liam and I laughed loudly, which made Harry laugh loudly, the lovely sound filling the whole room.

"You wanna tell us about yourself?" I asked, once Harry had calmed down. Harry seemed more comfortable now.

"Well, i'm the middle child, and Ni says I'm lucky because I have a big brother to take care of me and a little brother that I can take care of, and I like football and basketball, and I like drawing, but only if it's with Zayn, and I like sweets" Harry rambled, finally stopping for a breath.

I couldn't help but smile at Harry. He was our son, we had 3 sons. I couldn't help but think that I was the luckiest man on the planet. I had an amazing husband, and now, I had 3 beautiful children. Just then, Niall came out of the bedroom, head ducked low, with a small smile on his face. As soon as his face looked up to me, his smile faded.

"Come on Harry, time to get ready, yeah" Niall said, reaching for Harry's hand. Harry interlocked his hand with Niall's, but not before I bent down and kisses his head, Liam doing the same. Harry's face shone brighter.

"So, Liam and I are going to say goodnight to Zayn, that's okay with you, right?" I asked, looking at Niall. He seemed to be contemplating his answer, before nodding.

Niall and Harry went to the bathroom, while I walked into Zayn's bedroom, Liam closely behind. Zayn was under the covers, sleeping soundly. He looked absolutely adorable. I really wanted to take a picture, but thought against that. I sat on the edge of his bed, Liam sitting on the other side. Liam started stroking Zayn's soft hair from his face, adoration filling his eyes. I smiled at that, thinking that Zayn will probably get his way in situations, as Liam will find it hard to say no to him. I kissed the top of Zayn's head, before kissing his forehead, my lips lingering against his soft tan skin.

"This is our family, isn't it?" Liam whispered, smiling brightly.

"Yeah.....I think it is" I replied, smiling just as brightly.

Liam kissed Zayn's forehead, before getting up and heading for the door, gesturing for me to follow him. When we were in the hallway, Liam pulled me closer to him, nuzzling my neck. I saw Niall and Harry going into the bedroom, so I followed them in, Liam going to the kitchen to make tea.

When I got to the bedroom, Niall was helping Harry into the pyjama bottoms we bought him. Zayn had to wear one of Harry's pyjamas since we had bought clothes for Harry's age, and they were massive on Zayn's tiny frame. Harry seemed happy enough with his pyjamas.

"Cool, these are Spiderman pyjamas" Harry shouted, excitedly.

"Yep, Spiderman is the best, of course, but don't tell Liam I said that, and we have to be quiet, Zayn's asleep" I whispered, putting my finger to my lips.

"It's okay, Zaynie sleeps through anything" Harry replied, while giving Niall a hug.

I wish that Niall would talk to us more, he seemed such an interesting lad. He had an Irish accent that came through his voice, which sounded wonderful. I made it my mission to get him to talk to us. Niall tucked Harry into bed, ruffling his unruly curls. He was about to leave when Harry grabbed his wrist.

"Ni, don't leave, you forgot to read a story" Harry whined, clutching tighter onto Niall's wrist. Niall sighed loudly, in a sarcastic way, before chuckling.

"Well, we can't forget to read our little Hazza a bedtime story, can we?" Niall replied, sitting on the edge of his bed, tickling Harry, making him burst with laughter.  Harry loosened his clutch on Niall's wrist. I smiled at the way Niall acted with the boy who he sees as his little brother, and frankly, it made my heart burst.

"Okay, once upon a time, there lived a handsome young boy called Harry, and he had two brothers, one older brother who was the most handsome boy in the Kingdom called Niall, and a handsome younger brother called Zayn, and they....." Niall was still speaking, even though Harry was already fast asleep, little snores coming from him. I lightly tapped Niall's shoulder, which made him flinch. I took my hand away immediately.

"Harry's asleep, the boy must have been exhausted, you should get ready now, it's getting late" I said, giving him a smile.

He had a blank expression on his face, before walking out of the room. I picked Harry up bridal style and carried him to his and Zayn's room, and placed him on the top bunk bed, before kissing his curls.

"Night sweetheart" I whispered, before leaving the room.

Liam was sitting on the couch, a cup of tea in his hand. I sat next to him, leaning my head against his chest. He rested his chin on the top of my head.

"Well, that was tough" I sighed, leaning further into his chest.

"Lou, it's only been one night" he laughed.

I saw Niall creeping into his bedroom. It was so strange how much I already adored these kids. They may be the making of us.
