NIALL'S POV

"You look beautiful, look at your dress. And don't touch your hair, mama cita. Okay?" Maria said with her Spanish accent right after she'd gotten done with doing Penelope's hair in an difficult braid.

"No Maria I won't touch my hair, I promise" Penelope chuckled. Maria smiled before she walked away to keep doing what she was doing before.

"You feeling pretty birthday girl?" I asked as she looked at herself in the mirror, admiring herself in her floral dress.

"Yes" She said with a cheeky smile before I started tickling her sides, making her squeal.

"Niall!" She screamed as she tried to make me stop.

"Okay okay" I said with a silly voice. "I'll stop"

"Humh, Are we going to go yet?" She asked with excitement as she hopped up and down.

"yeah, five minuets" I said as I watched the watch on my wrist. I saw how she looked up at my little scar I'd gotten on my forehead, it 'only' existed with two stitches though, so it weren't that big.

"Does it still hurt?" She questioned, turning serious all of a sudden. I shook my head no. "No it doesn't, I promise" And she smiled.

She did that every other day, just making sure that it didn't hurt and that I was all fine, witch I honestly thought was one of the sweetest things.

"Who in this room is turning six today, huh!" Harry shouted as he came into the hall. "is it this man?" He asked as he pointed at me.

"No silly, it's me!" She laughed before Harry scooped her up, spinning her around the room.

"Oh yeah, how could I forget?" He questioned.

All of the boys laughed at Penelope as they came into the room as well. Harry sat her down and she sat on her judging face.

"Do we look good enough?" Louis questioned.

"Yeah, you look handsome" She said with a chuckle.

All of us had dressed up. We all wore tuxedos and our hair was styled. What we was doing was something that Penelope only had done two times in her life because of the circumstances.

"Well let's go then!" she said as she opened the door, walking out with confidence.

PENELOPE'S POV

We all hopped out of the car that stood in front of the huge church and I sighed. Today we were going to visit my moms gravestone. I had only done that two times right after she died, but with dad. But today I wanted it to be special, I wanted it to feel like the first time. I had asked all the boys if we could dress up and they did, this was what I had wished for my birthday.

"You ready?" Liam asked before Zayn took out his hand for me to hold. I nodded 'yes' and we started walking to the cemetery. We knew where the stone was and I tried to hold in my excitement. I wanted to show my mom the great girl I'd become.

And then I saw it. Even thought it had an old  bouquet of flowers and it looked dusty, it still looked beautiful. I let go of Zayn's hand as I started running to the stone. I took my hand and took off the dirt that laid on it, laid the old flowers beside so we could take away them later.

"Here you go" Louis said as he handed me the new bouquet of flowers that we'd got for her before we went here.

"Thanks" I said as I laid them carefully beside her stone.

"Hi mom, it's nice to see you. I turn six years old today, and I'm very excited. Dad isn't with me anymore and I've been Adopted by five really nice people. They make me smile just like you used to do. We brought you flowers, your favorite tulip. I really hope you like them, and I hope you can plant them in your garden up in heaven. I hope that you're proud of me, because I feel very proud of myself. I love you mom and I would really like to hug you now, and I want you to tell me Goodnight, witch you maybe do, maybe I just don't hear it. But I promise you that I'm going to try to become the best for your sake. I love you mom"

I stood up from where I had sat down as I said my words.

"That was really well said Penelope" Harry said with a smile. I smiled back and whispered a 'thank you'

"Do you want to go home now?" Louis asked, almost as if he were a little unsure if he'd even ask the question.

"Can we just stay here for a little while?" I asked and they nodded with sweet smiles.

I truly was grateful for them and how they were really nice to me and how they'd take care of me without no complain. I loved theses boys.

THE END.
