Niall's POV:

I stayed over at Zayn's and Perrie's that night. Their couch wasn't that bad actually. I woke up the next morning, rolled over and fell on the floor.

Great.

I got up, massaging my bruised sides. Something had fallen out of my pocket when I'd fallen. The adoption agency's information.

It was Monday morning! I could call them!

With trembling fingers I dialed the number the hag had written down for me.

"Britain's Association for Adoption and Fostering, how my I help you?"

"Um... yeah..." I coughed trying to rid myself of my morning voice. "I wanted to adopt a girl... I..." Well met but, she was my daughter. Fuck, how was I going to explain this?

"Well you need to come in to our nearest center. Where do you live?"

I gave her Zayn's address and she said, "We have a center about three miles from there. We open in fifteen minutes, you can come and I can assist you."

"Thank you," I said, hanging up.

"PERRIE!" I yelled up the stairs. She came running out of the bedroom to the top of the stairs.

"Jesus, Niall I thought you were dying!" She said, as Zayn followed her out looking sleepy.

"I need to go to the agency, can you come with me?" I needed ome sort of moral support, and someone to keep talking if I totally lost it again.

"Can Zayn come?" She asked. I sighed. I honestly didn't want any of my mates to know about this. We were the five carefree boys, just enjoying life and making music. I didn't want him to think I was a dick who abandoned my unborn child but-

"Ni, he's gonna find out anyways," she persisted.

"Find out what," Zayn said sleepily, coming up behind Perrie and putting his arm around her shoulders.

"Fine," I said.

Perrie didn't even go back into her room to change. She simply paraded downstairs in her One Direction T-shirt and plaid pajama pants, followed by Zayn in his sweats.

"Zayn, put on a shirt," Perrie laughed. He sighed and ran upstairs, returning later in jeans and a white T-shirt.

I was still in my clothes from last night.

"Well, let's go," I said, leading the way out the door. With any luck, I would be able to talk to Essy again today, for the first time in almost six years.
