Abandoned Baby

Chapter 21

The next morning Bless got up tiredly as she woke up in her boyfriend Drew McIntyre's arms. The raven haired beauty smiled weakily at him. Getting out of bed, she felt movement next to her to feel Drew pull her to him to find out he had too just awoken.

"Where ya goin lass?"He asked in a soft yet husky sleepy tone taking her hand gently.

"Shower."She said with a small smile to take a shower to relax her tired body.

"You okay baby?"He really asked her seeing her eyes were very red and swollen from crying previously the night before after getting home from the hospital after seeing Evelyn.

"Not really."She confessed sadly as she got prepared to take a shower.

Drew frowned sadly watching his girlfriend walk into the bathroom with a sulking look on her face and didn't blame her one bit. If he were in her shoes, he would feel the same. He wish he could take away her pain but didn't know how but he would be there along the way if she needed him.

A few minutes later, The shrill ring broke Drew out of his thoughts when heard his girlfriend's cellphone went off.

He looked at the ID to see it was the hospital. He felt his heart pound nervously hoping it wasn't anymore bad news.

DrewM: Hello

Richards: Good Morning. This is Dr. Prat Richards calling and was wondering if Miss Mendoza around?

DrewM: Actually she's in the bathroom right now. This is her boyfriend Drew speaking. May I take a message for her?

Richards: I just want to let her know that I have some bad news about her sister.

Drew's heart raced in his chest and didn't know what to say at this very moment. It felt like the wind had been taken out of him. He wouldn't know how to tell Bless and it would break her heart.

Richards: I'm sorry to say but her sister passed away this morning .

5 minutes later Bless came out of the bathroom when she heard her boyfriend talking to someone and he looked to have a really sad look to him. It looked like something was wrong.

"Baby,what's wrong?"Bless asked when she saw he was talking to someone on her phone.

The brunette turned around and saw his girlfriend.

"Honey, it's your sister..."Is all he told her giving her the phone broken hearted and a sad raspy tone could be heard from him.

Bless looked at him as tears gathered in her eyes as she put the phone up to her ear.

Bless: Hello

Richards: Miss Mendoza. This is . I'm sorry to really inform you of the news to bear to you that your sister had some complications and she passed away.

Bless: No...it can't be. Please doctor. Tell me it isn't true.

Dr. Prat Richards: Miss Mendoza, I'm sorry but she didn't make it this morning. Can you come down to see her?

Bless' heart broke as robs racked her body as her cellphone dropped to the ground as Drew caught her and cried into his arms.

"No...Evelyn!"The young woman sobbed into his arms."Shhhh...it's okay baby...I know..."Drew whispered stroking her hair as he cried right along with her as his heart broke.

Drew's face buried in his girlfriend's hair as tears pooled at his eyes hating hearing her cry. "It can't be true..."She said in a raspy voice. Bless soon became violently sick to her stomach as she ran out of Drew's arms and dropped to her knees in the bathroom in front of the toilet to throw up.

The young man followed his girlfriend hearing her wretch her stomach out as she was sobbing and coughing up a storm as he just sat beside her holding her hair with one hand and rubbing her back with the other.

"Just let it out baby, it's okay."Drew whispered in a soothing tone as the raven haired woman heaved until there was nothing left to throw up.

Weakily, she flushed the toilet and collapsed against her boyfriend's frame as he held her in his arms.

He then got up as he let her lean on the tub getting her a cup of cold water and got a towel from the towel wrack rinsing it in cold water to place on her neck.

"Here baby."Drew gave her a cup of cold water as she took it from him slowly as she took a swig of it and swished it around her mouth and spit the remnants of what she puked up out of her mouth into the toilet then flushed it again.

The Scot sat with his girlfriend and rubbed her neck to help her feel better and let the coldness sooth her some. "Baby, I don't think I can go to the hospital...I don't want it to be true..."The brown eyed girl looked into her boyfriend's warm eyes that held so much love for her.

"Baby, we have too...The sooner we get this overwith the better."He told her as he slowly brushed her hair away from her face and caressed her left cheek with the palm of his hand.

"I'm scared..."She told him as tears filled her eyes again as they felt so tired and sore.

"I know you are baby. I'm going to be there every step of the way. You can trust me."He took her hands and squeezed them letting her know he was there to stay and not be away from her side.

"I guess we better get ready."She said devastated.

"Yeah we should."He agreed softly as he picked up her phone that fell and gave it to her as she put it away in her purse.

After the two got ready, they got everything ready and got Catherine ready before they left the hotel.

5 minutes later Drew's cell went off and saw the ID read StephenF. (Sheamus).

BadBoyDrew: Hello

TheGreatWhite: Hey man. I just called to called to check on you and Bless. Is everything okay?

BadBoyDrew: Actually B and I heading out to the hospital. Her sister died this morning.

TheGreatWhite: I'm sorry to hear that man. Please give my love and condolence to the pretty lass.

BadBoyDrew: You know I will man.

TheGreatWhite: Hang in there and be there for her as much as you can. It's going to be a hard time man but I'm sure you will take good care of her no manner how stubborn she could be.

BadBoyDrew: I will man. She's taking it pretty hard and letting it still absorb at the moment.

TheGreatWhite: If you two need anything, don't be hesitant to call me or the other guys.

BadBoyDrew: Promise man. I have to go since the baby is also getting fussy.

TheGreatWhite: Alright take care young Andrew and remember my advice. Hope to see you guys when you two come back out on the road.

BadBoyDrew: Alright. Talk to you late Ste.

After the boys hung up, He walked over to his girlfriend and soon to be daughter getting Catherine from her cradling the young infant.

"What's wrong pretty one?"He asked the little baby.

"I guess she's just fussy, right honey?"Bless asked in a soft tone walking over to the little one rubbing her back.

"I think she just needs her bottle or pacifier."Drew said to his girlfriend as he decided to make a bottle for the little one to feed her.

"Hon, I think I'm gonna catch a cab and go to the hospital myself and get things done. Why don't you stay here with baby and rest?"Bless suggested.

"Baby are you sure you don't need me to accompany you?"Drew felt a little uneasy to leave his girlfriend by herself and she needed him the most.

"Babe, I love you but I want to do this on my own this time."She reassured him as she would be okay.

"I have to face the music and accept my sister is gone so the faster I get this done the better."She told him trying to put up a strong front for him.

"Baby, I don't want to leave you by yourself. I love you too and I don't want to let you do this all alone."He let her know he was there for her and hated she had to do this with or without his help.

"Drew, Please let me do this. I have to handle this and my decision is to cremate my sister. I'm going to be okay. I should be back in a couple of hours and I promise I'll have my cellphone on me at all times and I will call if I do need you honey. I appreciate you want to be here but I have to be strong sometime."Bless told him her plans and that she would be okay and she hated to drag him out when he too looked so exhausted as well and needed the sleep since he looked like he hadn't slept yet and with her crying in the middle of the night didn't help him any either.

"Baby, I want to go with you that way I know you're okay. Please don't do this alone. I know you're trying to be strong but you can't be strong all the time. He told her reaching out for her hand and rubbed the soft skin with the pad of his thumb.

"Babe, are you sure you want to go with me though you haven't even had that much sleep?"She asked looking into his beautiful hem eyes.

"Baby,you don't have to go through alone..."Drew took her hands into his and kissed them.

Bless sighed and nodded defeated and let Drew go with her to the hospital to see her sister.

As soon as they got there, the doctor spotted them and told her what room Evelyn was in.

When they entered the room, Bless collapsed beside her sister's bedside and sobbed. Drew held her as he too cried for the lost future sister-in-law he always wanted.

He felt his girlfriends pain as he sat and rubbed her back just sitting with her as she whispered I love you to her sibling while holding her cold hand into her's. He looked down at their baby girl Catherine in her carrier and wished she had an auntie to look up too and sighed sadly that she wouldn't have one.

It totally ripped his heart that his girlfriend lost her sister that she was very close too and learning from Bless when they constantly e-mailed one another that Evelyn wanted to be a nurse going into pre-med that she wanted to make her big sister proud. She also wanted to see them get married and have lots of babies.

Bless and Evelyn wanted to be close again when she got home but now Bless' wish would never come true.

After spending a few quiet minutes with her sister, She requested for her sister to be cremated which was on her wishes and spread them out to the beach which was her favorite place to go when she needed some quiet time.

The hospital took Evelyn's body to the funeral home while Bless and Drew followed just Bless could get things done and overwith.

"Honey...you're quiet, you okay?"Drew asked taking his girls hand into his and squeezing it gently.

"I will be babe as soon as this is all over."She reassured him with a tiny smile though inside she was brokenhearted.

"Babe...thank you for being here for me. I really don't know what I would've done if you hadn't been here."Bless said appreciating Drew's company and knew in her heart she needed him.

"That's what I'm here for sweetie. I love you. Remember I'll always be here through thick and thin."He let her know giving her right hand a soft squeeze while he kept his other hand on the steering wheel.

After Evelyn had been cremated, Bless decided to keep a few of the ashes and would decide later if she wanted her sister's remains out on the beach or maybe out at a nearby lake where she could always visit her sister.

Getting home was silent since Bless didn't really want to talk and Drew didn't know what else to say to comfort his girlfriend but held her hand every time to let her know he was there which comforted her the most. He didn't have to really say anything but his presence just made her feel better.

As soon as they got to the hotel, Drew got Catherine out of her carriage holder and got their stuff while Bless had they key and her bags that she was carrying.

When the couple got to their room, Drew put the baby down to bed while Bless was in the bathroom taking a shower to relax her tired and sore body. A lot of her energy was drained out of her and she just wanted to lay down.

After she showered, she was dressed in a a regular white t-shirt and red pajama bottoms and her hair was left down.

Drew heard his girlfriend shuffling around the room while putting her dirty clothes in a laundry bag then putting it aside by her bags before getting into bed facing the window.

After putting the baby down for her nap, he took off his clothes leaving his blue silk boxers on as he climbed into bed with his girlfriend wrapping his strong arms around her. He felt her snuggle into him and relax after a long exhausting day.

"I love you."He heard her say to him in a soft tone.

"I love you too baby. Go to sleep."He told her with a soft smile while rubbing her long dark hair gently as she nodded against him.

As soon as she was out for the count, Drew just layed there in their bed watching her sleep before kissing her cheek. A few minutes later, sleep called out to the Scotsman and before he knew it his eyelids closed joining his girlfriend in a deep slumber.
