Author's POV:
"I will do it later Angel," Ethan said with a smile "now can you answer some questions for me?"
Zoya looked at him with wide eyes and nodded slowly not wanting to anger him.
"Did you know that your body refuses human touch?" he asked gently.
She nodded slowly and his heart twisted in a knot.
"Then why did you save me?" he asked wanting to know the reason.
"Because you have a family," she said with sad smile "and you love them. They would be sad if something happened to you."
"Then what about you?" he asked and regretted instantly.
"No one would be sad if something happened to me," she said with the same sad smile.
"I am sorry," I tried to say but she cut me off.
"It's not your fault," she said shaking her head.
He sat there scolding himself internally for asking her that question. Then something came in his mind.
"Zoya actually I wanted to ask you something," he said in a tense voice.
She just looked at him and gave him a small nod.
"Would you like to come to my house?" he asked cautiously.
"To meet your family?" she asked softly.
"To join my family," he asked rubbing his palms.
"You want to adopt me?" she asked as her eyes got teary.
"Yes," he said looking at her trying to predict her emotions.
"But I am a good girl," she said as tears ran down her face breaking his heart "I no ask for more food. I do my work. I am a good girl."
"Baby you are the best girl," he said as his heart clenched at her words "That's why I want to take you home."
"No punish?" she asked tilting her head making him coo at her.
"No punish," he said gently.
"Ok," she said slowly and he smiled broadly.
"Everyone is going to love you!" he said clapping his hand in excitement. He wanted to hug her but he didn't want to hurt her more.
There was a knock on the door and Lucas entered before anyone could say anything.
His hazel eyes found Zoya's shocking blue ones and he melted.
(A/N: Guys I forgot to tell you guys about Zoya's looks! Sorry!)
Zoya looked at him with big blue eyes. She had chubby cheeks which Lucas wanted to pinch. Her little button nose was red. Her auburn hair was a little messed up, making her more adorable. Her eyes were puffy from crying which made his blood boil. He swore that he would ruin every person who had made his darling cry. Yes he had decided that she was his darling.
"Lucas you are here!" Ethan said breaking their eye contact "Zoya this Lucas my eldest son."
"You are pretty," she said without thinking and Lucas cooed at her cuteness.
"You are prettier," he said making her blush and both of them cooed at her.
"Did you get stuff for her?" Ethan asked Lucas.
"Yes," he said and handed him the bag.
He opened the bag and took out a cute jumpsuit. He smiled and looked at Zoya who was looking at them curiously.
"You will look perfect in this, my angel," he said with a smile.
He kept it aside and took out some soaps, face masks for kids, hand gloves and a couple of sandwich.
"Angel how about you eat something?" he asked gently, forwarding the sandwiches in front of her.
"No punish for extra food?" she mumbled and both of their blood started boiling in anger.
"You can eat as much as you want darling," Lucas said trying to calm his anger.
"Ok," she said but took a sandwich slowly as scared of their reaction.
"Angel I promise we won't say anything," Ethan said as his heart clenched in anger.
She just nodded and opened the packaging and started eating. She was slowly munching on her sandwich when remembered something.
"You no eat anything?" she asked tilting her head.
"Angel I am not hungry," Ethan said as his heart warmed at her kindness.
"You eat," she said picking another sandwich and handing it to him.
"But-" he tried to say but she glared at him cutely and he took the sandwich from her.
"Oh my fucking god!" Lucas said as he laughed "Zoya you are the second person who dares to glare at him!"
"You also eat Lucie," she sternly and he took the sandwich from her obediently.
"How come he has a nickname?" Ethan asked grumpily.
"I no know your name," she said taking a bite from from her sandwich.
"Its Ethan," he said instantly.
"Ok Ethan," she said then frowned "its no potile to call elders by their names."
"Its polite Angel," he said with a smile "Then you can call whatever you want to."
"Hmm," she said putting a finger on her chin "Lucie what do you call him?"
"Dad," he said without a second thought and regretted instantly. Her eyes turned glossy but she blinked them quickly thinking they didn't notice but of course they did.
"Aww now I have to come up with a new nickname," she said with a fake smile.
"Angel you can call me dad if you want," Ethan said carefully. He wanted to hear her call him dad but he didn't want take things too fast.
"No punish if I call you papa?" she murmured tilting her head.
"I will be the happiest person in the world if you called me papa," he said with a smile.
"Papa?" she whispered as if afraid of what would happen.
"Yes my angel," he said with tears in his eyes.
"I have a papa now," she mumbled in a low voice. Whereas Lucas and Ethan were over the moon.
There was a knock at the door and all of them jerked.
"You can go home now my dear," a nurse said with a smile "Just remember to drink a lot of water and have a lot of food."
"Thank you pretty sister," Zoya said with a kind smile.
"You are welcome my dear," she said with a smile and went back.
"Angel how about I help you change and freshen up?" Ethan asked gently.
"Ok," she said with a smile but her expression changed into a scared one "but if you touch me then I no be able to breathe."
"I forgot about that," Ethan said looked at Lucas for a solution.
"It's ok," she said with a soft smile "I am used to it."
Saying this she jumped off the bed with difficulty. She took the jumpsuit and was looking at the soap but hesitated.
"You can take any of them," Lucas said gently "We won't say anything."
She squealed happily and took the white vanilla flavoured one and skipped but winced. Ethan and Lucas ran to her sides but halted remembering her condition. She looked back to them with a small smile and walked towards the bathroom slowly.
Once they were sure that she left they let out their anger in low tones.
"Lucas I want all the names of the bastards who laid a finger on my Angel," Ethan said as his eyes turned red.
"Don't worry father," Lucas said with a smirk "I will make them regret what they did to my darling. They will die the most painful death."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zoya came out of the washroom and Ethan and Lucas died from cuteness overload.
(her outfit is shown above)
"You look perfect my angel!" Ethan said with a bright smile.
"Lets go darling," Lucas said with a smile.
As they walked out of the hospital Zoya waved to each and every person making all of them smile. Where as Ethan and Lucas were burning in jealousy as she was smiling at everyone. Once they got out of the hospital and Lucas opened the door for Zoya. She giggle and tried to climb in but it was too high for her. She folded her arms in annoyance and pouted.
"Why so high?" she whined and Lucas chuckled. He took out a pair of surgical gloves from his pockets and gave them to Ethan. He knew how much his father wanted hold his angel.
Ethan wore quickly and turned to Zoya saying "Angel I have covered myself properly now you won't get a panic attack when I touch you. Do you want me to pick you up?"
Zoya took her time to absorb his words for a moment then nodded. She trusted Ethan and felt safe around him. She felt safe for the first time in years.
She made grabby hands for him to pick her up and he obliged happily. He gently picked her up in his arms tried to make sit in the car but she clung on to him not wanting to let go. It had been a long time since someone held her without her getting a panic attack. Ethan understood this and picked her up again and sat inside with her in his lap. Zoya snuggled in his chest feeling his warmth.
Lucas smiled at them and went to the drivers seat and drove to their house.
