Lifesaver (A Zarry fanfic)

30. Graduation

Jessie's POV

I pecked Zayn's nose as I tightened his tie. He smiled, holding my belly. Zayn was finally graduating today. "Sorry your father couldn't be here."

"It's alright, at least you're coming. That's all the support I'll need." I chuckled, patting down the folds in his shirt. "You take your vitamins?"

"Of course. I ate, I used the bathroom, I even cleaned your filthy kitchen."

"Did you put on your ointment?"

"No.." I whined. "Would it really matter for one day?" Zayn pulled my dress over my belly.

"The baby grows every day, babe. You'll still get stretch marks." He snatched it off the counter, popping it open. "Almost twenty weeks along."

"Almost? Zayn, I'm only eighteen weeks."

"Still." He smiled, kissing my belly before rubbing it in. "I found a flat, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, very large living room and kitchen. You'll love it, I guarentee."

"How are you so sure?"

"It has an amazing view and it's near a park."

"Will it be enough room for Pudding?"

"Of course, that's all I was thinking about." Zayn finished rubbing my stomach with the oitment and carefully pulled my dress over my belly. He stood up straight and went to wash his hands before I felt a harsh pang in my belly. I groaned loudly, gripping onto the drawer.

"Ouch.."

"Are you alright?" Zayn rushed out.

"Yeah, just the regular strike of pain." I muttered. "I'm good now. Are you ready to go?"

"Ready as ever." Zayn smiled, holding my hand as we made our way out the house and into his car.

"You have the ticket?"

"Mhm, here." He pulled it out his shirt pocket, handing it to me. "I have another incase my father shows up, or you lose yours." Zayn chuckled as he drove off.

"I wouldn't lose it!" Zayn only continued to laugh at me. "Oh hush, I'll hit your arm."

"Then I'll stop the car and I won't graduate." I groaned and crossed my arms. "Aw, keep pouting. You're pouty face is adorable."

"Hush, bad boy."

"So we're bringing the nickname in?"

"Yes, we are."

"Then miss town's sweetheart, might as well hush yourself, too."

"I need to talk, how is the Pudding supposed to remember my voice if I don't?" Zayn gave me a smirk before we both started laughing. "You're annoying sometimes."

"You're annoying everyday with your mood swings."

"Hey, it's out of my control!"

"I know babe, I'm kidding." He chuckled, parking at the venue. "Big place."

"I brought your camera and for good luck..." I pulled one of the ultrasound pictures from his bag, putting it inhis shirt pocket. "So you don't fall on your way to get your diploma."

"Nice thought." He smiled, leaning over to peck my lips. "I love you."

"I love you, too, Zayn." We both got out the car and made our way towards the building. But Zayn had to go in by himself, leaving me alone.

"Are you sure you'll be okay?"

"I'll be fine. Besides, my parents are most likely coming for Payton. So I won't be alone." I don't graduate until next year. I didn't exactly fail, it's just the fact that I only have the knowledge of a sophomore. Next year, I only need two more grad levels left to graduate.
