You & I (Zayn Malik Fan Fic)

Chapter 23

*Ava's POV*

"Wake up sweetie. It's morning already."

I heard my mum trying to wake me up as was gently rubbing circles in my back. I sat up and started rubbing my eyes.

"I must've fallen asleep last night waiting for Zayn's call." "Actually he did call. You were asleep already and I didn't want to wake you up." "Oh mum. It was ok if you did wake me up. I wanted to talk to him. It hasn't even been a week and I miss him like crazy." "Oh sweetie. I know how you feel. I felt like that too when your dad was recruited into the military when I was pregnant with you. I missed him like crazy too and it had been only a month."

I let out a groan and then felt nauseous. I immediately got off the bed and ran into the restroom. I let out all the contents that my now empty stomach contained and left a disgusting taste in my mouth. I was brushing my teeth and my stomach grumbled asking for food. I was starving now thanks to me throwing up.

I walked out of the restroom trying to put my hair into a bun. My mum saw the struggle and walked over to me. She took control of my hair and I let my arms fall by my sides limply. When she was done, she wrapped her arms around me from behind. I then realized that me and my mum were the same height. We were both stuck at five feet two inches.

"I love you so much sweetie." "I love you too mum." "Now go eat breakfast so we can go do some shopping." "Okay."

I walked out of the room and started making my way to the kitchen. My dad was sitting at the counter with the morning paper and drinking a cup of coffee.

"Morning dad." "Morning Ava."

I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a bowl and poured some Honey Bunches of Oats into it. I poured some milk into the cereal and grabbed a spoon. I sat at the dinner table and dug my way into my favorite cereal. I'm pretty sure I didn't look nice eating like that because I could feel my dad's eyes on me.

"Wow Ava. I didn't know you could eat like that."

I looked up from the bowl and gave him a small smile.

"I'm sorry dad. I'm just starving." "No need to apologize sweetie. I understand. I know you're pregnant and that you're also feeding a little person inside of you."

He gave me a warm smile and I returned it before digging my way back to the cereal left. When I was done, I went back to my room and went straight into the shower. Once the warm water hit my back, I relaxed a little.

*Ava's POV*

"But mum!! I want Nutella!!" "I'm sorry sweetie. We already have two at home. Why do you want to take three more?" "Because I love Nutella!!"

We were the grocery store and I was practically about to get on my knees to beg my mum for Nutella.

"It's still a no. We already have two bottles at home and that's enough. Lets go to the checkout line."

I crossed my arms over my chest and came up with an idea.

"You know what? Fine. But I have to go to the bathroom. Go checkout and I'll catch up with you at the car." "Okay."

She walked down the lane and towards the registers. I, instead of going to the restroom, grabbed three bottles of Nutella and made sure that my mum was done at the checkout line. When I saw her exit the store, I made my way to the checkout line.

"That'll be $15."

I reached into my pocket and took out my debit card. I swiped it and put in my pin. I grabbed my bag and walked out of the store with a big smile on my face. When I reached the car, my mum was already inside and the car was on already.

"I see that you still got your Nutella." "I just couldn't leave them there. They were begging me to bring them home." "Nice try. I know you bought them instead of going to the restroom."

I let out a giggle before talking again.

"Oopsies. I guess my plan failed."

We both started laughing and pulled out of the parking lot. We started making our way back home.
