Lifesaver (A Zarry fanfic)

40. Happy Holiday

Jessie's POV

I woke up with no one beside me. Zayn wasn't here. I frowned and sat up, more sore than I was yesterday. But I didn't mind it much. Then the image of my baby's face slipped into memory, making me smile. Especially his green eyes, they had me in a trance. His little button nose and pouty lips were the perfect combination of Zayn and I's. I couldn't wait to take my baby home.

"Hello Jessie." Harry strolled into my room with a grin. "Had a nice sleep?"

"Yes."

"Well, today we get to bring your baby home! Patty said he's stable now." I couldn't help but smile at the thought.

"Wait, where's Zayn?"

"He's at the nursery. He went straight over there after he woke up." Harry and I chuckled as he handed me Zayn's duffel bag. "You have the baby's clothes in there?" I nodded and placed them on the bed first.

"It's a bit chilly outside, isn't it?"

"Jessie, you do realize it's Thanksgiving." My eyes widened at him.

"Are you serious?" Harry nodded, chuckling at my surprise. "Guess I'm not going anywhere."

"Why don't you take the baby with you?"

"I don't want to stress him out on his first day." Harry nodded as I picked my clothes from the duffel bag.

"Need help changing?" Still wearing the gown, I pulled on my underwear.

"Um, maybe with my pants. I'm still very sore." He nodded as I turned my back to him, pulling on my bra and sweatshirt. "Okay, let's see.." I grabbed my pants and bent over, groaning loudly.

"You alright?"

"Yeah, you do it." Harry laughed and grabbed my pants, kneeling in front of me. We both worked to fit each leg inside, pulling them up. "Thank you, that hurt a lot."

"Look who I have!" Zayn quietly sprung into the room. I lit up as I spotted the baby in his arms.

"Oh my baby!" I cooed, slowly taking him from Zayn's arms. "Help me put his clothes on. The diapers are in the duffel bag."

"Need a ride home?"

"Oh yes."

"That sucks, I came here on my bike." I giggled and placed Bentley gently onto the bed.

"How do you have so much hair?" I wrapped the diaper onto him, carefully pulling his arms and legs into his clothing.

"You don't like it?"

"I love it, just how? He's not even a day old." Zayn shrugged and pulled the beanie out the duffel bag, fitting it nicely onto the baby's head.

"I'll get the car warmed up." Harry nodded as he walked off.

"Hello, you two!" Patty sauntered in, hugging me tight. Of course, I did the same. "Your baby is just fine now."

"That pain was overwhelming.." I frowned, looking over to Zayn. He was playing with Bentley's little hands.

"These types of things happen during childbirth. Luckily, nothing went wrong. You experienced more pain than you were supposed to as just a teen." I nodded with a smile. "Oh, and I have your birth certificate."

"Thank you Patty." I took it from her hands, holding it to my chest. "Wow.. I just had a baby."

"Yes you did." Patty chuckled. "Now, I'm giving you this guide to help you on your first few months. It includes, feeding, changing, bathing, those things and more." She handed me something of a booklet.
