Nando's turned out to be a restaurant. With chicken. A LOT of chicken.

They walked in and suddenly some girls came up to them, 'Oh My God, can we get your autographs?' One of them asked Niall.

'Sure.' Niall said, the boys signed some autographs, took some pictures and got left alone again.

'What is going on? Did I miss something?' Zoe asked confused.

'We're in a band, One Direction, people know us.' Liam casually answered.

'Well okay then.' Zoe shrugged.

They sat down at a table, but since there weren't any tables available that were big enough, so the kids sat on the laps of the adults.

Sydney was totally obsessed with Niall's hair, Rome wouldn't stop talking about cars to Liam, Paris and Zayn were in a very deep conversation about hair products and Louis was telling London why he wore stripes, while London was listening very carefully.

And then there was Harry, sitting on his chair, the dog next to him, he talked to the dog, petted him and they seemed to get along quite good.

Some waitress came to get their orders and Zoe noticed that Niall ordered a heck of a lot of food.

Liam saw her looking strangely at Niall and said laughing: 'He always eats so much, don't worry about it, he will eat it all.'

Zoe nodded slowly.

She ordered a strawberry milkshake and some chicken thing she couldn't name, since Niall yelled it right trough her order and the waitress had written it down.

While waiting for their food, Paul started talking to Zoe, ´So, how do you get enough money to take care of the kids and dogs?'

'My stepdad invests in gold and oil, it works, we get enough money.'

'Interesting. How long do they usually stay away when they leave?'

'Depends, sometimes they stay away for about two days, sometimes a week and one time they didn't come back for 16 days.'

'Wow. Where had they been all that time?' Paul seemed genuinely interested.

'Who knows? I don't. I don't want to know it either.' She shrugged, 'I'd rather take my crew and leave, but I don't have enough money and the four are still their kids, I can't just take them, I wish I could.'

'Well we're in town for eight days, then we're going on a world tour. We can help you with your crew.'

'Really?' Zoe asked, 'I don't think you'd want that.'

'Don't say that. You handle them all on your own 24/7. I think we can handle them with the 7 of us quite easy.' Paul nodded.

'I'm in!' Zayn said, while he tried to fix Paris' hair.

'Okay then.' Zoe said, she smiled, this was going to be fun.

She looked around the table, to the guys she was apparently going to spend time with for a while.

Niall said staring at nothing, he'd given pushing Sydney's hands away up and she was playing with his hair. Rome and Liam were talking about turtles (he'd make a great dad, Zoe thought), Zayn was trying to braid Paris' hair and London had fallen asleep on Louis' lap.

Harry sat on his knees next to Presley and patted the dog, talking to him.

An hour later they walked out, Niall had actually eaten all the food he'd ordered.

They walked to the supermarket silently, but as soon as they got there, it got hectic.

Zayn and Paris left to go to the hair products shelves.

They'd lost Liam and Rome at the gum machines.

Harry stood with all three dogs at the car park, since dogs weren't aloud inside.

Louis and London were at the vegetables shelves, looking at carrots.

Niall and Sydney were at the cookies department.

And Zoe was left with Paul.

'Okay, let's do the grocery shopping and then find out where everybody is.' Paul decided.

Zoe nodded and got her list from her pocket.

They walked around the store, pushing the shopping cart ahead of them and talked about random things.

Every now and then they saw one of the band members with a kid, when they saw Louis, he threw four bags of carrots in the cart and walked off with London again.

When they ran into Niall and Sydney, the cart got stuffed with boxes of cookies.

When they ran into Zayn, they got a lot of hair products.

They did see Liam and Rome, but they stood at the gum machines, counting money.

The cashier looked very strange at them, two people with a cart stuffed with cookies, carrots and hair products.

Paul and Zoe tried to act like it was normal, but that got impossible when Niall and Sydney came running past them, Niall hold still next to them and said loudly: 'PAUL, SYDNEY STOLE THE COOKIES I WANTED TO BUY.'

Zoe turned red, but Paul just sighed and said: 'Tell her to put them back and meet us outside, kid. Okay?' Niall nodded and ran off again.

'Like it's the most normal thing in the world.' Zoe said laughing, as they walked out.

Paul shrugged, 'Those kind of things happen a lot. Like when Harry was walking around naked in a hotel while Zayn had opened the window to talk to fans. They'd almost see him naked.'

Zoe laughed, 'What are you? Their manager or their babysitter?'

'A little of both, I think.' Paul smiled.
