Louis squeezed Harry's hand extremely tightly as they stood outside the orphanage , Harry turned to face him and caressed his cheek , "If you're not ready we can always come another time , Boo ."
"No , no I'm - I'm just , still not taking it in . That - that we're adopting ."
Harry smiled and kissed his cheek , "We'll be okay , we've been preparing for the past five months . We'll be perfectly okay , lovely ."
"I know ." Louis nodded , taking a deep breath , "Let's go ."
Harry pecked his lips quickly before leading him into the place , smiling at the receptionist in the entrace .
"Hey , we have a meeting with Mrs. Adams for adoption , Harry and Louis Styles ." Harry said , his arm wrapped around Louis' waist tightly as he felt him trembling a little .
The receptionist nodded and checked her computer before returning her attention to the couple . "Go to the meeting room down the hall , Mrs. Adams will be there shortly ."
"Thank you ." Harry nodded and pulled Louis along , walking into the small meeting room and sitting down on one of the chairs , bringing Louis to sit on his lap .
"Boo , are you sure you're alright ?" Harry rubbed his back , Louis nodded , "Yeah , I'm okay . Extremely nervous but okay ."
Harry kissed his cheek tenderly , "We'll do amazing , our kids are going to be so happy , and make us happy too ." He cooed , nuzzling his cheek . Louis nodded , "I know , I'm just afraid I won't - I won't be a good enough parent for them ."
"No , don't say that ." Harry frowned and cupped his jaw , "You'll do perfect , just like always . Trust me . Do you trust me ?"
"Of course . I trust you with everything ."
"Then believe me when I tell you , you'll do amazing and our kids will adore their papa ."
Louis giggled a little , "So I'm papa now ?"
"Mm , yeah ." Harry grinned softly . "I've been thinking about what they'd call us , and I think daddy and papa suit us ."
Louis smiled and leaned into him , kissing his cheek . "Thanks , Hazzie . Love you ."
"Love you more , Boo ." Harry smiled and kissed his lips before placing him on a chair right next to him , as they heard footsteps going down the hall .
Soon enough the door opened and Mrs. Adams , the manager of the place , walked in along with Nancy , a social worker that's been helping then throughout the adoption . The couple smiled and got up to greet them before the four sat down around the round table .
"You two are excited ?" Mrs. Adams asked the couple with a smile , the couple nodded grinning . "Yeah , as excited as we can ever be ." Harry grabbed Louis' hand in his own , intertwining their fingers .
"Alright , so the kids are ready for you guys to meet them , but first you'll have some more papers to sign ." Nancy said and pulled out a few papers and a pen , handing it over and showing them where to sign .
Louis signed with shaky hands , feeling Harry kissing his head soothingly . He handed Nancy the pen back when they were done , Nancy and Mrs. Adams smiled at the two , as they could see just how much they love each other and how much this adoption means for them .
"Alright , ready to go see them ?" Mrs. Adams asked , the two nodded and followed her out of the room with Nancy following .
They walked to the front of the place , seeing the kids they're going to adopt ; two twin boys , hooked by the hip to each other . The two are just too cute to handle , and after thinking it over they decided to adopt them both .
-Flashback-
"You can go walk around , get to know the kids . I'll be right here if anything happens ." Mrs. Adams said and gestured to the playroom , full of kids from the ages three to twelve .
The couple nodded enthusiastically and started walking around , separating ways .
Louis grinned at the kids and sat down with them at the table , talking with them cutely , while Harry went to play with the kids with the cars .
A soft whimper caught Louis' attention , he snapped his head and pouted at a sight of a small boy close to tears . He rushed over to him and kneeled , "Hey there . Everything okay ?"
"I wan' my brother ." The boy whimpered , Louis cooed , "It's okay , let's go look for him together , yeah ? I'm Louis , what's your name ?"
"N-Noah ."
"Nice meeting you Noah ." Louis smiled and offered his hand , but Noah held his arms up to be held . Louis smiled wider and picked the boy up , wiping his tears , "No more crying , okay ?"
The boy sniffled a little but nodded , letting Louis carry him around .
At the same time , Harry also noticed a boy in the corner , clutching a car to his chest looking a bit lost . He approached him and kneeled in front of him , "Hey , little lad . You okay ?"
"I lookin' for me brother . I gots him a car and he lost ." The boy said , showing him the car in his hands . Harry smiled softly , "That's nice of you to get him a car . What's your name ?"
"Johnny ." The boy said , Harry held his palm up for a high five , "My name is Harry . Want me to help you look for your brother ?"
"Pwease ." The boy nodded , Harry grinned and held his arms out for the boy to come closer . Johnny let Harry pick him up , the car still clutched to his chest .
The couple saw each other from afar , furrowing their eyebrows one at another when they saw the small boys in the other's arms . They approached each other , the boys in their arms called for each other when they noticed their brother .
The couple got close enough for the small boys to reach for each other , holding one another in a hug . Louis looked up at Harry , biting his lip not to laugh .
"What's so funny ?" Harry asked , chuckling himself . Louis let out a giggle , "It's just - we picked the same boy , but not the same boy ."
Harry laughed softly and looked down to the brothers hugging , then up at Louis . Louis smiled , "Are you thinking what I'm thinking ?"
"I think I do ."
The four went to sit on the carpet and played together , the boys warmed up to them . They found out they're three years old , Johnny being the older twin , by fifty seconds . Their birthday is April 4th , they like cars and stuffed animals ; Noah wants a stuffed penguine , while Johnny wants a stuffed lion .
The couple fell in love with the twins , telling Mrs. Adams about their decision . Mrs. Adams went through their files with the two , Nancy also told about her personal experience with them . The couple were sad to find out their mother is a drug addict and accidentally got pregnant , and after giving birth she left the babies in the hospital and never showed up again .
They decided to give the two a chance for a better future , together as brothers and as a faimly .
"Look who's here to pick you up ." One of the workers , who was waiting with the boys and their belongings , nodded her head towards Louis and Harry . The two small boys looked up , grinning at the sight of Louis and Harry approaching them .
"Hey , little lads ." Harry kneeld in front of them , holding his palms up for a high five . The two high fived him with their toddler smiles , Louis joined Harry down and smiled , "Are you excited ?"
The twins nodded , reaching for each other's hands . Louis cooed softly and looked up to Mrs. Adams , who nodded a him .
"Let's get going , shall we ?" Louis offered one of his hands , Johnny took his hand while Noah took Harry's . Harry carried their bag with their clothes on his shoulder , the four waved at the workers before stepping out of the place .
They got the twins into the new car seats they bought , placing their bag in the backseat .
"Hawwy , where are we goin' ?" Johnny asked , Harry smiled back at him , "We're going home ."
Twenty five minutes later they arrived home , the couple helped the twins out of their seats . Louis took their hands and walked with them towards the front door , smiling down at them , "This is your new home from now on ."
Harry grinned at them and handed Louis the keys , Louis unlocked the door and let the twins walk inside , him and Harry following . Harry placed the bag down and closed the door while Louis helped the twins out of their coats , kneeling down in front of the twins , "Why don't you go sit with Louis in the living room while I go make us all some hot chocolate ?"
"Ooh , sounds nice . Let's go ." Louis smiled and took the two to the living room , sitting them on the couch . He gave them a smile , "You two are okay ?"
"Yeah . But scared ." Noah said , Louis nodded , "I know , this is scary . But we're good , and we'll be an amazing family , right ?"
Noah nodded and smiled , making Louis smile back at him . "Is there anything else you want to tell me before we'll have a big boys talk ?"
"Are we goin' to have big rooms ?" Johnny asked , Louis laughed softly , "Yes , you two have a beautiful big room , you'll love it ."
"I'm back ." Harry walked into the living room with a tray , four hot chocolate mugs on it . He placed it on the table , "Be careful because it's really hot ." He said and joined Louis in front of the twins .
"So , you two doing okay ?" Harry asked , the twins nodded making him smile . "Good . Now , Louis and I want to have a small chat with you . We know you're scared , but we want you to know that we're here for you , yeah ? We're a family from now on , whatever you need you come and talk to us . Deal ?"
The two nodded , Louis reached his hands out to take the twins' hands , "We want you to trust us , because we care for you a lot . We're your parents ."
Johnny let out a delighted giggle at the word 'parents' , making Louis and Harry grin at him .
"Does that mean we get cuddles and hugs and yummy food ?" Noah asked , Harry nodded at him , "You get anything you want ." He smiled and tapped his nose softly .
Louis handed the twins their hot chocolate mugs , telling them to be careful with it . The twins sipped on their drinks , smiling at the sweet taste . Louis reached up and wiped the corner of Johnny's lip , "Careful there ."
After finishing their hot chocolate the couple led the twins to their new room , opening the door for them .
"Noah look ! We gots stuffies !" Johnny pointed to the beds , one bed had a stuffed lion on it , the other a stuffed penguine . Noah took the Penguine into his arms and turned to smile at the couple , "Than' you ."
Louis grinned at him as Harry ruffled his hair a little , "You're welcome ." He said and turned to Louis , wrapping his arm around him , "They're so precious ."
"I know , I might cry ." Louis said , Harry chuckled and kissed his cheek .

It's been a while since Louis and Harry officially brought Johnny and Noah into their lives , and things can't get better for any of them .
Harry walked into the house after training , smiling at the sight of Louis and the twins sitting on the living room carpet , watching Zootropolis . Noah was sitting next to Louis eyes glued to the screen , his stuffed penguine in his lap , while Johnny was curled into Louis' chest as Louis rubbed his back .
"Hey there , my lovelies ." He smiled , making them all smile at him . "Daddy ! We watchin' movie !" Noah pointed to the screen , giggling a little when Harry kissed his cheek lovingly .
"Do you like the movie ?" He asked , Noah nodded and looked back at the screen .
"What's with this little one ?" Harry asked and got closer to Louis and Johnny , Louis smiled , "He's been shy and cuddly all morning ."
"Johnny bug , come give me a cuddle too ." Harry kissed his head , Johnny smiled but hid in Louis' neck . "Oh come on now , don't be shy on me ." Harry tickled him softly , grinning at his giggles . Louis passed him into his arms , Harry cradled him into his chest and kissed all over his face .
"Daddy noooo ." Johnny pushed at his face and giggled , Harry smiled and pulled back , "You're going to give me a cuddle now ?"
Johnny wrapped his arms around Harry's neck , Harry cooed and squeezed him into his chest , rubbing his back . Louis watched with a soft grin , biting his lip fondly .
"I wanna cuddle too !" Noah held his arms out , Harry opened one of his arms and brought him into his chest , now holding both twins in a cuddle . He smiled contently and closed his eyes , kissing their heads .
Louis took a few pictures of them , watching Harry being so gentle with them . Usually Harry is the energetic parent , playing and running around with them , while Louis was gentle and patient . He took in the moments of Harry being gentle and calm before he's back to his playful state .
And he was right ; before he knew it the room was filled with laughter as Harry tickled the twins , capturing them in his arms . They squealed and kicked but Harry never rested , until Louis had to stop him since they just finished having lunch a short while ago .
"Party pooper ." Harry let Louis pull the twins out of his arms , the two lied tiredly on the carpet with wide smiled on their faces , and Harry couldn't stop himself from kissing their cheeks .
