Today is Graduation day! I'm so excited to finally be done with high school, but I'm slightly nervous about today. My family still doesn't know that I have a baby and they're going to find out today.
"Babe, can you help me with my necklace?" I called from the bathroom. "Yeah, one second." I finished up my makeup and sprayed a little bit of perfume on my wrists and neck.
"Damn, that dress looks amazing on you." He smirked as he walked up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. "We are one hot couple." He joked as he looked at our reflection in the mirror.

"As much as I would love to just stare at us in the mirror, we have to leave in ten minutes." "Fine." He fake sighed, then picked up my necklace and put it around my neck and clasped it.
"I can't wait to be free from high school and start my music career and tour around the world with you and Wesson." He smiled as he started to kiss my neck.
"Shawn, later." "Fine." He faked being annoyed, then kissed me quickly, then walked out of the bathroom to go get Wesson ready.
I quickly finished up with getting ready, then walked back into my room to grab my phone and purse.
"Who all is coming for you?" I asked as I texted my mom back, telling her what time graduation starts. "My parents, Aaliyah, Sebby and my grandparents." Shawn answered, walking into our room with Wesson in his car seat.
"Okay, are you ready?" "Yeah." We made our way downstairs, then Shawn went out to the car, while I went to the kitchen and grabbed two bottles for Wesson, in case he gets hungry during the graduation.
I put them in his diaper bag, then walked out of the house, locking it behind me. I put the bag on the floor board in the back seat under Wesson's car seat, then got into the car myself.
"Ready to graduate?" Shawn asked as he pulled out of the drive way and drove to the school. "Definitely."

I was hoping that my family would choose seats far away from Shawn's family, but to my dismay they chose the seats right next to them.
I keep looking back at them to see if they have talked to each other or are just ignoring them like any other strangers. So far they've kept to themselves.
I can't wait for this to be over so I can hold my baby. He's not that far away from me, but I miss him. Every time I hear a baby cry, I look back at Shawn's family and Sebby to make sure Wesson is okay. And every time he's either still in his stroller or asleep in either Shawn's parents or Sebby's arms.
The baby that is crying almost every time I look is my brother Matthew's son, Greyson. He's teething so he's extra fussy.
Sebastian's Pov...
"Is that your baby?" The lady sitting next to me asked. "Um, no he's my best friend's baby." "He's so tiny, do you know how old he is?" It took me a minute to calculate how old he was. "He's three weeks old."
She kept asking questions and being nosey so I switched seats with Shawn's little sister Aaliyah. I'm pretty sure that lady is Justine's mom and they don't want her knowing about Wess and I'm definitely not going to tell her and possibly get Justine in trouble.
He's such an easy baby, we've been here for almost two hours and he hasn't cried once. He should be getting hungry soon though. I'm just waiting for him to wake up.
"Hey, can you hand me a bottle." I whispered to Manny, as Wesson started to wake up and fuss a bit. He handed me the first bottle he could find. "Thanks." He nodded with a smile, then turned his attention back to the ceremony.
I moved him in my arms so that I'm now cradling him in one arm, then put the bottle in his mouth. I wonder if I'll ever have kids of my own or just have Wesson to fill the void.
Girls just seem to think I'm a freak because of my anisocoria. Which is the medical term for different sized pupils. They just assume I'm drugged or diseased. My friend group didn't help my case either.
Now I'm 18 and still have yet to kiss a girl or even have a girlfriend. Maybe I can borrow Wesson sometime and see if he helps me get a date at least. Girls love babies and guys who are good with babies right?
Justine's Pov...
I'm next to get my diploma and I'm extremely anxious for some reason. "Justine Saltzman!" Our Principal called out. I took a deep breath to calm myself down, then walked across the stage.
I couldn't focus on anything that he was saying. It was all a blur. I was on stage one second, then back in my seat the next. I put my head down and took deep breaths.
"Hey are you okay?" Shawn asked as he crouched down in front of me, with his hand on my knee. "Yeah, just a little anxious." "Are you okay with waiting until this is over or do you want to leave now?"
"I can wait." "Okay baby." He kissed my forehead, then snuck back to his seat. It felt like this ceremony lasted forever and I was so glad when it finally ended.
I walked straight to Shawn's family and sat down next to Sebby who was holding a sleeping Wesson. My family didn't even notice me.
"Are you okay?" Sebby asked as he handed Wesson to me. "I am now. I don't know why, but I was feeling extremely anxious." "I'm sorry, maybe it was the big crowd." "Maybe."
My family almost didn't notice me until Shawn met up with us. I guess my brother Dylan saw him and remembered him, then pointed him out to my parents.
"Justine? Who's baby is that?" My mom asked with a hint of shock and anger in her tone. I was about to answer her, when Shawn answered for me. "He's a friend of ours, we're watching him for a little while." Shawn lied.
"He's lying. He's our baby, you can be mad or upset, but please do not make a scene." I said with all of the courage I could muster up.
"Why didn't you tell us?" My mom asked with hurt in her eyes. "Maybe, because of how dad acts whenever a boy is even near me. I was scared to tell you, because I didn't want you to react angrily."
She instantly elbowed my dad in the ribs. "I'm sorry honey, I wish you would have told me. Do you need anything for him? Diapers? Clothes?" "No, we're okay." "Okay..." "I'll see you later." I said to my mom, giving her a quick hug before she walked away to join my brothers and dad in the parking lot.
"I'm not feeling well, so I'm gonna just go home. Are you going to go to the graduation party at Matty's?" I asked Shawn, turning around to look at him. "Not if you're not. Let's go home and watch movies." He said as he softly rubbed his thumb against the top of Wesson's head.
"Okay." We said our goodbyes to Shawn's family, then walked to Shawn's car with Sebby following behind. I guess he's spending the rest of the day with us.
When we finally got home, I took a quick shower, while the boys set up the living room for a day full of movies. I finally feel back to normal. Maybe it was my family that made me anxious.
I let the warm water run down my back for a few more minutes, then got out and got dressed in my pajamas.
I slowly made my way down the stairs and into the living room. They had taken all of the couch cushions off of the couches and put them on the floor, then covered them in tons of blankets and pillows.
"This looks so comfy." I said as I plopped down next to Shawn. "What movie do you want to watch?" He asked as he pulled me closer to him. "Spiderwick?" "I love that movie!" Sebby said a little too loud, then looked at Wesson to make sure he hadn't woken him.
"Spiderwick it is." Shawn quietly chuckled as he turned it on. I made it most of the way through the movie, before I fell asleep on Shawn's chest. Him scratching my back must have put me to sleep.
