Abandoned Baby
Chapter 7
A few days later Bless got up not feeling very well and her stomach feeling queasy. Slowly without waking Drew, she dragged herself to the bathroom sitting in front of the toilet to empty her stomach.
A few minutes later, The SD Superstar had just woken up when he didn't feel his girlfriend laying next to him and wondered where she was but looked in the crib to see the baby still asleep.
Hearing wretching noises from the bathroom, he saw the light on and heard Bless was sick to her stomach. Concerned for her well being, he got up and knocked on the bathroom door.
"Baby...you okay?"He asked heard the toilet flush a few second later and heard labored breathing. Making sure everything was okay, he walked in to see his girlfriend looked very flushed and very weak. She just didn't look so good.
"Baby,you okay?"He approached her as he sat by her side and brushed her hair back from her sweaty matted face.
"I don't feel so good babe..."Telling him in a weak voice as she held the middle of her stomach as she felt another cramp and ran over to the toilet again feeling herself heaving.
Drew looked very concerned and sat by her side the whole entire time she was puking and holding her hair back.
"Ugh...I'm sorry honey..."She apologized in a weak voice flushing the toilet and collapsing weakily beside him after dry heaving until nothing was left.
"Don't apologize baby...you got nothing to be sorry about."He told her as he helped clean her up.
"I feel so sick..."She told him feeling so lightheaded that she wanted to just crawl into bed and lie down.
"You might have a fever or flu bug honey, I'm bringing you to the trainers tomorrow when we get to the arena to get you checked out."Drew let her know taking precautionary measures to make sure she was okay as she nodded as she wrapped her arms around him while he carried her back to bed.
"Drew...I feel so hot..."Bless cried weakily as her head ached and felt like it was pounding so bad.
"I'm gonna get you a cool rag hon to see if it'll make you feel any better."He let her know looking in the bathroom to explore a medium sized towel hanging then placing it under some cold water.
A few minutes later, the SD Superstar emerged with the towel placing it over her forehead while stroking some of her hair back gently.
"I'm sorry to be such an inconvenience tonight to you babe."She apologized softly having him take care of her and he didn't get much sleep and knew he needed the rest.
"Baby, like I said, don't apologize plus I want to take care of you."He told her in a soft tone taking her left hand to kiss the palm of it.
"You are so sweet to me,what did I ever do to deserve you?"She slightly giggled though she was still weak.
"Loving you is enough my darling."He smiled a warm smile at her letting her know he was there for her whenever she needed him.
"I've never been taken cared of like this before but I like it."She slowly reached for his hand that was on the bed and kissed it gently.
"I'll always take care of you baby,you know you deserve it."Drew meant and kept his word on that as he slowly kissed the top of her head which made her smile a little.
"Drew, will you hold me?"Bless requested not wanting to be alone. He chuckled softly with love in his eyes looking at her as she let him scoot next to her and hold her around the waist.
"You okay baby, I'm not hurting you am I?"He wanted to make sure he wasn't holding her too tight knowing her stomach was still weak.
"I'm okay baby."Bless let him know as she snuggled into his warm chest.
As soon as she was asleep, Drew smiled gently kissing her cheek before sleep also over took him as well.
The next morning Drew was the first to get up with the little one and doted over her while making some oatmeal and making fresh squeezed orange juice to see if maybe it would help his girlfriend feel better.
Next door he heard a knock and stooped whatever he was doing to see his best friend Stu Bennett aka Wade Barrett.
"Hey man, I was wondering if you weren't busy doing anything, maybe you,I, and Stephen can go hang out and do something."Stu asked his best mate.
"Man...I'm sorry I can't...you see Bless was very sick lastnight and helping take care of her today,she's still very weak and in bed and making breakfast for her."Drew ran his fingers through his hair rubbing the back of his neck looking at his best friend.
"I'm sorry to hear that Drew...is she okay?"Stu was concerned for his friends girlfriend and didn't want to intrude.
"I'm not too sure...I'm taking her to the trainers before the show at the arena to see how she's feeling."Drew let him know.
"Instead of working out, do you want me to take Catherine and take care of her while you take care of B, don't want the little one getting sick either."Stu wanted to babysit for his friends and felt his buddy needed help.
"Honey,do you want to stay with Uncle Stu for the day while I help take care of mommy?"Drew asked the little girl who clinged on to him after he took her out of her highchair hiding her face onto his shoulder.
"I guess she's just shy."The brunette man chuckled kissing the little girl's cheek.
"Honey it's okay...don't be scared, it's just Uncle Stu, he's a friend of daddy's,say hi."He warmly smiled at the little girl who looked at Stu as Drew took her hand and waved at his friend.
A few minutes later Catherine began to warm up to the big Brit and got to hold her.
"She's definitely beautiful, gosh You and Bless are so lucky man."Stu laughed warm heartedly adoring the little angel.
"Ah man...she already stole my heart when I first held her, it's just an amazing feeling."Drew told him with a big smile.
"I'm sure you'll really experience it too when you really become a dad when you and Bless have kids of your own."Stu knew his friend found the right girl that stole his best friends heart and made him into a big softie. He knew in his heart they were meant to be together.
10 minutes later the raven haired beauty emerged from the bedroom to see the two men talking while Wade was doting over the little one.
"Hey guys, hey sweetheart."The petite female greeted them including Catherine.
"Hey babe, how are you feeling?"Drew asked as he walked over to his sick girlfriend as she shrugged still feeling the affects after the previous night.
"Hey B, I heard you were sick...you okay?"The British man asked her concerned for her.
"I don't know to be quite honest...I still feel a little weak but I think I'll be okay."She told her friend in a small smile while wrapped in her boyfriends arms.
"I was thinking maybe I can take Catherine for the day to the park and we can hang out while Drew takes care of you, I can be back say maybe tonight since Ste is dropping by my room to room with me."The big man suggested holding the little infant in his arms.
"That's fine by me if it's okay with you babe?"Bless looked up her boyfriend.
"Sure, I don't see the problem."Drew nodded giving some of Catherine's stuff to Wade.
"I got your cell number just incase, so don't worry."Stu let Drew know in advance so he and Bless knew the little one would be in good hands with her Uncle.
"Thanks so much for taking care of Cat today Stu, you are such a good friend."Bless came over to hug him which he accepted.
"Any time love, feel better soon and I promise to be back around 8 when Ste drops by."He let the couple know with a warm smile.
"Can I least give my little girl a kiss goodbye?"She asked Stu.
"Yeah sure."He nodded with a warm smile.
"Bye sweetie, you be good for Uncle Stu and Uncle Ste okay?"Bless gave Catherine a kiss on top of her head.
"Baby, be good for Uncle Stu and Uncle Ste...they're going to take care of you while I help take care of mommy for the day."Drew let his baby girl know giving her a kiss and rubbing her head gently.
"Don't worry you two, I will watch over her and make sure we have a great time at the park and be back early."Stu gave Bless a hug with his left arm and gave Drew a handshake too before leaving with the baby.
After Stu had left with the baby, Drew continued cooking while Bless sat at the couch with blankets over her to keep her watched as his girlfriend layed her head down knowing maybe she was having a headache and hoping she was okay.
"Babe,you alright?"He asked concerned over her as she sniffled a little.
"Head aches."She cried closing her eyes wanting the pain to go away.
Drew stopped what he was doing and ran into the bathroom to get some tylenol and glass of water to see if maybe it would help relieve her pain.
Walking back to the room, he kneeled in front of her rubbing her legs to comfort her.
"Here honey, take these to see if it can lessen the pain a little."He opened his palm to reveal some tylenol with the glass of water he had on the table.
He helped her sit up a little bit to take the medication and drank her water.
"You okay love?"He asked her feeling worried how she was nodded a little bit then quickly cried herself to sleep since the pain in her head was so intense.
The Scottish superstar was worried about his girlfriend as he sat there watching over her. He wondered if he could call the trainer to see if he could come down to see her if she wasn't feeling any better.
Taking out his cell phone, he quietly walked out to make a phone call and relieved to hear one of the trainers that was working at the arena that there was a female trainer doctor staying at the hotel that could look over his girlfriend making sure she was okay.
Cassie Lee: Hello
Drew M.: Cass, it's Drew...hey...sorry to call on such short notice but Bless is sick and I don't know what to do.
Cassie Lee: Drew, How long has she been sick?
Drew M: Since lastnight, she was throwing up most of the night and I'm worried about her. She was complaining of her head hurting this morning too.
Cassie Lee: Has she been complaining of any cramps or anything else as of late?
Drew M: No but she's just in as much pain today...
Drew looked over his shoulder too see Bless curled in a ball on the couch lying down and she looked so sickly pale which scared him.
Cassie Lee: Maybe it could be a fever or flu that she could've gotten while on the road. I may have to come up and check on her to see how her condition is because it's hard to tell. What room number do you want me to see her?
Drew M: 315 up on the third floor.
Cassie Lee: Alright, I should be there in 10 minutes to come see her.
Drew M: Thanks Cass.
After Drew hung up, he walked over to Bless and placed his hand on her cheek which alarmed him that she felt a little warmer than usual.
He rushed back to the bathroom to get another towel rinsing it with cold water and came back placing it on her forehead to see if it would break it down.
Bless whimpered a little."Shhh...It's okay baby...I'm here."The Scottish man soothed her sitting at her side.
Hearing the knock at the door, he slowly got up to answer the door to see the brunette female trainer.
"Hey Cass, Bless is over there on the couch."Drew directed her to his girlfriend.
"You may have to wake her up that way I can examine her."She told him while getting all her equipment out to check on the sick girl.
Drew as he did sitting by Bless' side not leaving her.
"Sweetie, Drew told me you were sick lastnight and called up to check on you."Cassie told her as Bless nodded weakily thankful for her boyfriends quick thinking.
After Cassie checked her over, She knew immediately Bless had the flu and had to stay in bed the next few days and was prescribed some medications to be able to fight it off plus she needed to eat and keep hydrated.
"Thanks Cassie."Bless smiled a weak smile at the trainer listening at what to do.
"Any time sweetie, if you still don't feel good, don't be hesitant to call and I'll be up right away."Drew and Bless nodded thanking the female brunette as she left.
"You hungry baby, I still made some oatmeal and juice?"Drew asked her.
"If I can keep it down then sure."Bless let him know as he finished his cooking placing them on the table.
Bless smiled feeling grateful that Drew sat at her side and doted over her. She loved this side of him taking care of her while other guys would've just taken off and left her to fend for herself but this side of Drew made her love him even more. She felt so lucky and hoped he would still be by her when they someday get married.
"You look a little better now that you're eating."He smiled feeding her some of her oatmeal.
"I feel a little better with you taking care of me."She smiled to reach and caress his cheek gently.
"I love taking care of you."He smiled leaning over to kiss her forehead.
After eating, he made her drink some juice,take her medications, and she laid down to rest while he cleaned up the stuff around him then rejoined her on the couch.
"I love you and thank you for taking care of me and thanks to Stu, he's playing baby sitter today for our little one."She smiled up at him leaning up to kiss his stubbly chin.
"I love you too Bless and you're always welcome and don't worry, Little bit is in great hands with her Uncle Stu."He reassured his girlfriend while intertwining her fingers into his while letting her head rest on the warmness of his chest.
Drew smiled at his beautiful girlfriend before he laying down to hold her and keep her safe.
