Abandoned Baby
Chapter 16
A few weeks later Bless and Drew were going to try to get baby Catherine adopted by the court in Florida and hoped they could permanently get her since no one else spoke up of the baby and they were the only two that always loved and cared for her.
They made sure to take great care for her and give her a home and all the love she could have.
The two even fixed the papers in advance to finalize the adoption process.
Drew and Bless didn't care if Catherine wasn't their's by blood but loved her unconditionally and more than anything else. They were already attached to her once they held her in their arms.
All they had to do was wait for 3 weeks till all the papers were processed and they could finally adopt Catherine as their own.
"I can't believe Cat will be our's soon and make her our daughter."Drew chuckled as he and his girlfriend walked out of the court as she pushed the stroller with her.
"I can't wait either sweetie and now we can be her mom and dad."She smiled at him.
"I like the sound of that."He told her with a warm loving smile then leaned in to kiss her softly.
"Me too."She agreed.
A few minutes later Drew's cellphone rang and heard his theme on his phone go off causing his girlfriend to look at him funny.
"What?"He laughed.
"You have your own theme song as your ringtone babe?"She asked.
"Yes and I happen to like it thank you very much."He told her with a wink.
BadBoyDrew: Hello
WadeBarrett1:Hey D. How are ya my friend? How are you and the lil' missus and little one doing?
BadBoyDrew: Fine thanks man, just got out of court to see through the adoption finalizations for Catherine that way we can finally adopt her.
WadeBarrett1: That's great to hear. I'm happy for you (Justin),Heath, Rycklon (Zeke), Stephen (Sheamus) are over here and wanted to know if you,Bless, and the little one wanted to come over for a bbq and swim party I'm having down at the apartment.
BadBoyDrew: Let me ask Bless first if she's not busy with anything.
Drew cupped the speaker with one hand and asked his girlfriend if she wanted to go over and hang with the guys.
"Honey,Stu is on the phone and wants to know if it's okay to stop over his apartment since he's having a bbq/swim party."Drew told his girlfriend.
"That sounds like fun. Maybe we should get our stuff and I can bring over something if the guys want."She accepted the invitation and it sounded like fun since she missed the guys and wanted to see them.
BadBoyDrew: The little Missus says sure no problem...so what time do you want to meet at the apartment?
WadeBarrett1: Say 2:30 and don't forget to bring some swim gear and tell Bless not to really bring anything. We got everything here including snacks so you can just bring yourself, her, and the little munchkin too.
BadBoyDrew: Alright, sounds fun. See you guys in about 20 minutes or so.
After their conversation, Bless and Drew stopped by their apartment to get ready for the fun day ahead.
"Honey,do I look okay in this?"His girlfriend asked as she walked out of their room with a two piece black bikini with flame designs on it along with a white sarong that she hand stitched herself and had some white flip flops on along with her gucci sunglasses.
"You look beautiful darlin'."Drew said smiling as he slowly caressed her cheek with his fingers as he too was walking out dressed in some green board shorts and let his hair down.
"Thank you baby."Bless appreciated her boyfriend's compliment.
After they got everything ready and got extra clothes to bring with them if they also stayed over night with the guys, Bless got Catherine ready in her baby onsies swimming diaper.
"Come on sweetie, let's go see Uncle Stu and the others."She picked up the baby and kissed her forehead.
"Honey, we got everything right?"Bless asked before they stepped out of the apartment.
"Yup that's about everything baby and we got most of Cat's stuff and our things just incase we need to change,towels,sunscreen, bathroom toiletries, and brought our sleeping clothes if we end up staying at Stu's, and everything else so that's pretty much it."He made sure not to forget anything else before locking up.
"Okay, I think we're ready to hit the road then."She said as she strapped in Catherine then gave the baby her juice.
After strapping in the baby in the carseat, she closed the door and got in her seat in front with Drew.
Stu and the boys didn't live too far and were about 25 minutes away from them though they were in the Tampa area and they lived close to the FCW (Florida Championship Wrestling) arena.
"Babe,you don't mind if I put on the radio do you?"Bless asked if it was okay.
"Yeah sure."He reassured letting his girlfriend pick out the music and tuned into some soft rock that was playing over the system.
He then gently intertwined his right hand with her's as he kept his other hand on the steering wheel as they rode to Stu's in comfortable silence.
Once they got to Stu's, Drew helped his girlfriend get Catherine out and put her in the stroller before grabbing most of their things before locking up the car.
Bless walked up to the door to ring the doorbell as the Scotsman got their things walking in tow.
She heard someone shuffle to the door on the other side to see the One Man Rock Band Heath Slater (Miller) with a smile on his face and just wearing blue swim trunks.
"Hey Heath."Bless greeted him first giving her friend a warm hug and a kiss to his right cheek.
"Hi sweetheart."He greeted back with a warm smile and kissed her cheek.
"You look very pretty today."He complimented her on how she looked.
"Well thank you and you look handsome as well."She giggled telling him with a smile.
"Why thanks little lady."He appreciated her compliment.
"And this lil' one looks ready to rock n' roll."He chuckled noticing the baby in her arms all dressed up ready to swim.
"She sure is and have her spend time with her Uncle's right baby boo?"Bless tickled Catherine's chin as the little one giggled.
"Hey man it's good to see you."Heath greeted the tall dark haired man.
"Good to see you too. By the way where are the boys at?"Drew wondered about his friends after shaking Heath's hand.
"Out back swimming by the patio."Heath directed them through the patio doors out back where the pool/jacuzzi was located.
"You can put your stuff here in the livingroom if you want that way you don't have to carry most of them."The red headed man told Drew where to put their stuff incase they would need it later.
The SD superstar understood and put them off to the side where the rest of the guys stuff were and grabbed his and Bless' towels and sun tan lotion including one for the baby.
Walking out to the patio, Stu and Heath were manning the grill making bbq,hamburgers, and hot dogs as well as providing soft drinks and water for all of them, PJ (Justin) and Rycklon (Zeke) were in the pool racing each other back and forth, and Stephen (Sheamus) was taking a break after swimming just sitting in the hot tub jacuzzi.
"Hey you two, hey little one."Stu greeted his guests as he saw them walk by him.
"Hey Stu. Hey man."Bless and Drew greeted him with hugs and Bless gave him a gentle embrace and a kiss on the cheek.
"My is this lil' one growing up so fast."The Englishman noticed little Catherine who was in the raven haired beauty's arms.
"Yeah she is and still very well behaved baby."She giggled holding the little one against her hip.
"I heard about you two adopting Cat, congrats!"He gave his blessings to the happy couple.
"Drew and I can't wait to have Catherine as our own."They were pretty excited and hoped they would make great parents.
"Don't worry honey, you and Drew will do well."The big Brit patted her back with encouragement.
"So Drew...how does it feel to almost be a dad?"His bestfriend was wondering.
"Nervous but excited at the same time."The Sinister Scotsman said with a big smile happy to almost be a family with his girlfriend.
"Good...I'm sure Bless will make a great mother and you will be a great dad yourself."His best bud was glad to hear the news and hoped Drew did take care of both of them because Bless was a very sweet girl and would hate to see someone break her heart and that innocent little baby was to be taken cared of and loved looked like a happy family already and Stu was very happy for them.
They then caught up with one another on other things while Drew helped bbq while Bless and the baby were sitting and relaxing by the pool.
"Hey Ste."Bless greeted the sweet looking Irishman who was sitting by himself at the jacuzzi as she sat down on one of the pool chairs close to the guys.
"Hey there lass. Glad to see you and Drewmeister made it."Ste greeted the young woman with a warm smile when he heard her voice.
"Me too. How are you?"She asked as she was getting the baby's floaties and stuff to go swimming.
"Pretty good thanks for askin' doll. How have you been and how's life been treating you?"He asked as he smiled a warm smile at her and the baby while kicking his feet around in the pool while sitting.
"Pretty good so far and baby has been keeping Drew and I busy so not too bad."She explained to the tall Irishman.
"I can't believe that lil' cutie is growing up so fast...she gets bigger every time I see her."He chuckled as Catherine reached her arms out for Bless to hold her after getting her ready for a swim.
"I can't either. Drew and I are finally going to adopt her soon so he and I are waiting for finalizations till we fnally get her and become a family."Bless was excited to start a family with her boyfriend whom she loved so much.
"Drew's a lucky man. You two would make excellent parents. I can see it already."Stephen said honestly and he could see how much they loved each other and how much they loved Catherine since the first day they had her.
"Thanks Ste, that really means a lot."Bless appreciated his comment and knew he meant well.
After Bless blew up Catherine's floaties and put them on her and put her hair up in cute little pigtails and took off her sarong placing it on the chair, they went in the pool where PJ and Rycklon greeted her.
"Weeeeee...You having fun sweetie?"Bless asked Catherine who cooed and giggled as they waded in the water.
"Kick your feet sweetheart, that' a girl."The raven haired beauty was proud as she was teaching the little one how to kick her feet in the water that way she would learn how to swim.
A few minutes later Catherine began to cry.
"It's okay baby, I got you."The pretty PA consoled the baby holding her while walking around in the shallow part of the pool with her.
"She's taking to the water like a duck."Stu noticed the two girl's having a fun time.
"Yeah she is and I'm so proud."Drew watched from afar at how cute they were.
"Wave to daddy sweetie."Bless said lifting Catherine's hand to wave to Drew.
Drew laughed and waved at his favorite girl's before walking over to join them in the water.
"You want me to hold her next?...Maybe I can try and teach Cat how to float on her back."The Brunette suggested to his girlfriend as she nodded.
"Hey Stu...can you grab my camera that's in my bag and take pictures of us if it's okay with you?"Bless requested from him as she sat with her boyfriend and the baby.
"Yeah sure."The English man heard her and told PJ to take over for a little bit while he grabbed his friends digital camera getting it out and walked over to get some cute snap shots of the cute family.
"Okay B,you and Drew should be together and put Catherine in the middle with you two holding her."The former NEXUS leader instructed them as they did so and had Catherine had in the middle with them smiling.
"One,two,three...smile."He chuckled taking a great family portrait shot of them perfectly.
"Guys,why don't you join in on the family shoot?"Drew told the guys to come with them.
"Are you sure you want us with you guys?"PJ heard what they were talking about and wanted to know if it was okay.
"Yeah you and the guys,get in here and take pictures with us, after all you're our family."Drew laughed warm heartedly as the guys shrugged and joined in feeling happy they were part of Drew and Bless' family.
After taking a series of shots with the guys and taking turns, The African wrestler told them the bbq was done and to come eat as they all joined together at the patio eating,talking, and having a great time sharing light hearted conversations, stories, and laughter.
