Abandoned Baby
Chapter 36
Bless was going home after traveling and working on the road so much she was feeling violently ill after getting off the plane. It really ruined any of her plans of going out with Drew knowing he was coming home the next day. She had been ill the past few days with a stomach virus maybe it was the stress that it had finally caught up on her more as she was getting home.
All she wanted to do is go to bed and lie down. Heath and Justin too were just getting home when they seen Bless' Mercedes in the parkinglot of the house knowing she and the little one were home and they were just as glad to be off from the road.
Bless had just put the baby down for her nap when again she fell violently ill again. Running to the bathroom, she kneeled down by the toilet and emptied out her stomach.
Sighing, she sat back and tried to catch her breath after vomiting. She never felt this ill before but this time she was really feeling sick to her stomach.
The guys were just getting in the house putting their stuff away.
"I'm gonna go check on Bless and Princess."Heath told Justin as he was finished unpacking some of his things and would go venture off to find the raven haired beauty.
"Alright, I'm gonna take a nap maybe for an hour or so so don't bother waking me."The South African told his friend.
"No prob. Have a nice nap jungle boy."Heath teased his best friend ruffling his werewolf styled hair as he walked out of the room as Justin flopped on his bed just to take a rest after the long flight they had.
The Southern redhead decided to walk upstairs on his way to go check on Bless knowing she was home as well just to make sure she was okay after her flight.
Making his way to her and Drew's room, he saw the door was half cracked opened and all he heard was silence. He peeked inside and all he saw was the playpen by the side of the bed with Catherine in it fast asleep but Bless was nowhere to be found.
He heard the flush of the toilet and the sink go off and suspected she was in the bathroom. Deciding to check on her, he walked in the room.
"Bless."Heath called out to her softly not wanting to wake the baby up.
"Bless,you in here?"The Southern man asked knocking on the bathroom door.
The WWE Personal Assistant heard the redhead man and hoped she looked presentable although she looked so pale.
"In here."She said with a raspy voice. Heath heard her voice and it didn't sound okay and became concerned hoping his best friend was okay.
She walked out of the bathroom with a pale complexion to her and she looked so weak which became a huge concern to him.
"Hey dollface. You don't look so good...You okay?"He asked concerned.
"Yeah...I'm okay. Just feeling stomach sick..."She reassured him with a small smile that she was okay.
"I guess it was just the stress of work it finally caught up with me."She waved it off hoping maybe some sleep would help her feel better.
"Honey, maybe you should take it easy and slow it down a bit with work. You should take some time off for yourself and just relax. You know you're not the only PA around the WWE and there are plenty of other workers willing to help us not just you dollface. Running around stressed won't help problems either. I know you like working but hon, you're running around yourself haggard without getting to rest."Heath felt for the young woman and felt maybe she needed the time to just take the extra weight off her shoulders and have others around helping her as well and not only herself.
He knew how much she liked the work environment to help with the income for herself and Drew but the extra work didn't help matters and made things worse and the stress just built up she didn't give herself time to take it easy sometimes.
Heath hated to see her like this and he cared so much for her since she became a part of his family.
"I guess I'm just trying my best and over working myself but I don't know Heath...maybe it's just since my sister died, I need to do something to keep my mind off it but still there's a lot I have to do like payments from her funeral and everything that I've been putting off and with Drew and I moving in with you guys, we just want to be financially stable with lots of income and help to pay the rent that way you guys don't have to worry about it."Bless sighed sitting on her bed knowing she had so much to do and paying off what she needed after her sister's death and with her and Drew in it she felt she needed to help them.
"Honey, you know you don't have to worry about us. PJ and I can pay our own rent as well since we too moved in with Stu You just worry about you and Drew and things should be fine. As for your sister's death, I know things are hard but I'm sure you'll be able to work things out."Heath reassured her as he sat beside her and gently squeezed her knee gently. He knew she was trying her best to help them as well but he wished there was a way he,PJ,and Stu could help her out with her personal problems but couldn't. All he could do was be there as for the other guys too when she was down they helped pick her back up.
"I still miss her everyday but the pain never lessens."She said sadly missing her younger sibling.
"I know sweetie...I know. It will eventually go away. It takes time."The redhead put his arm around her as she placed her head on his shoulder as tears welled up in her eyes as the walls of her heart broke down.
He could feel the hot tears soak his t-shirt but didn't care much. All he cared about was being there for her when she needed him the most.
"It's okay sweetie, cry it all out."The Southern man comforted her as he held the petite woman close.
"I miss her so much."The PA sniffled holding him close comforting her but she wished was it was Drew holding her. He always knew how to make her feel better when she was down. Though Drew wasn't with her, she was okay with having Heath as a big brother that truly cared for her and she trusted him.
"I know you do baby...It's okay to miss your sister but you know she'll always be with you in your heart."Heath could only tell her wishing there was a way to take away her pain.
"I'm sorry red..."Bless apologized looking at him realizing she soaked his t-shirt with her tears.
"Ah'...don't worry about it sweetcheeks, you can cry on me anytime and I'll be here."He softly chuckled rubbing her back making sure she was okay.
"Now...why don't you get changed and go to sleep? You really look like you could use some sleep."Heath noticed the dark raccoon eyes and she looked like she was ready to pass out.
"Are you saying I have raccoon eyes red?"Bless giggled a little.
"Well...you do look like you need a few hours or more of sleep since you haven't had much a decent nights sleep. You truly need it."Heath knew she needed the rest would help her out.
"I guess so huh?"She smiled a little his way.
"Yeah. Just incase the little one wakes up. PJ and I will look out for her. Just get some sleep darlin' and don't worry about waking up if you hear her crying because the two of us will spend time with the little one later." The Southern one man rock band promised her he and PJ would look out for the little toddler and take care of her while her mommy slept.
Bless felt so grateful to have Heath and PJ in her life and had them as her best friends and big brother's. She totally adored them.
"Thanks Heath for being here. I love you red."Bless told him as she hugged him and kissed his cheek.
"No problem sweetcheeks. I love you too."He sweetly told her as he embraced her back and rubbed her back in a comforting manner.
"I think I'm gonna lay down and get some sleep."She yawned escaping from his tender embrace to grab a pair of PJ's and to get some sleep.
"Good. Just remember don't wake up when you hear Catherine crying. PJ and I will handle everything from here while you lay your sweet little head and dream about good things."He reminded her with a sweet smile on his face.
"I won't and Heath, thank you again."Bless felt glad she had Heath like a big brother and felt so loved.
"No problem sweetcheeks." The Southern man said with a warm smile in her direction.
After Bless changed out of her clothes to her PJ's, Heath sat on the bed and looked at the sweet little baby sleeping. She looked so much like an angel.
"She's beautiful isn't she?"The raven haired woman spoke up to the redhead as she saw him look at the little child fast asleep.
"Yeah she is. I swear she could look like you and Drew so much even though not by blood." Heath noticed as if the little girl could almost look like them since she had the similar raven haired locks like her mother and the dark forest green eyes almost like Drew's but his was more of a lighter green when looking into them.
"I agree but still she's our little girl."The PA mentioned to the Southern man.
"That she is."The Virginia native smiled looking at the sweet sleeping girl.
"I think I'm gonna lay down since my stomach feels a little queasy."Bless said holding her weak stomach with her arm.
"Alright, I'm gonna let you sleep for a few hours. Get better soon honey."Heath understood as he got off the bed as she climbed into her blankets and pillow.
"Thanks Heath."Bless said with a weak smile.
"No problem."He said patting her arm gently before kissing her left cheek as he tucked her in with the warm blanket.
As soon as Bless was fast asleep, Heath quietly left the room leaving the door half way open just incase she or Catherine needed him or Justin.
Walking to his and Justin's room, he changed out his clothes and left on his boxers yawning as he crawled into the comfort of his own bed before letting sleep consume him.
2 hours later PJ (Justin) had awoken to the sounds of a baby crying. Waking up from his sleep, he looked at the clock which read 5:30PM. He must have been asleep for at least for 5 hours straight since 12PM. Looking across from him, he seen Heath was still out like a light.
Getting up from bed, the South African Werewolf yawned and ran his fingers through his spikey hair and walked out of the room to the source of the crying little girl.
Making his way to the room, he saw the room was pretty dark and saw Bless asleep on the bed but could hear the little one crying her little eyes out.
Opening the door, he saw Catherine was standing in her playpen trying to wake her mother but she didn't respond to the sound of her crying daughter.
He looked at Bless first and saw she was very pale to the face and her face looked so ghost like that it concerned him. He hoped she was okay. Probably she was sick or something which alarmed the South African.
He walked over and put the back of his hand to Bless' face and she felt a little warmer than usual. He felt like she had somewhat of a fever by the temperature of her skin.
The South African got the baby first before tending to her mother.
"Shhhhh...It's okay sweetheart. Uncle PJ got ya."He told the baby in a soft tone cradling the little one carefully in his strong arms.
"I think your mommy is sick."Justin suspected checking over Bless.
The young woman groaned in her sleep as she weakly opened her eyes to see Justin looking over her.
"Hey there angel."She greeted the young man.
"Hey, you're up. I was worried about you. You okay?"He asked her in a soft tone while cradling her daughter.
"Sick to my stomach...Not feeling well." She said trying to sit up gingerly but she was having a hard time with her stomach aching.
The young man put the baby down in her playpen for a few minutes to help Bless sit up as he fluffed her pillows for her.
"Thanks."She appreciated the help.
"No problem sweets." PJ didn't mind helping her.
"What time is it?"She asked as he helped turn on her lamp on her side of the bed.
"5:36 in the evening."He told her looking at the clock by her bedside.
"Hmmmm...I must of conked out for a few hours."She said with a weak tone sighing feeling so bad.
"You have a little fever dollface, do you have tylenol or aspirin with you?"The young wrestler asked.
"Yeah I have some tylenol in my purse. I just need some water."She said as she put her left arm around the middle of her stomach.
"Hang on doll. Let me go get it."PJ got her purse for her and inspected for her medication and found it in the zipper compartment grabbing it. He opened the small bottle dumping one tablet out of his hand then putting the bottle back in her purse before putting it back where it belonged.
PJ then made his way downstairs really quick to get Bless a cup of cold water that way she could take her medicine with it.
Making his way back up, he walked in the room he handed her the cold cup of water and her tablet.
"Thanks so much Peej. I'm sorry to be so much trouble."Bless apologized to him feeling vulnerable while she was sick.
"Don't worry about it hon. At least I'm glad to know you're okay."He told her with a gentle smile. He watched her take her medication and drank her water before placing it on her table.
"Do you need me to take care of little one since you're not feeling well?"He asked about the little baby who was just content playing with her toys that she had after she had just woken up a little cranky.
"Oh Peej...I don't want to be anymore trouble especially with the baby. I could take care of her."Bless felt bad having him to deal with the little one now that she was up and she would look after her daughter.
"Honey, you need you're rest at least in able to recuperate. It'll be no problem plus I love kids."He chuckled letting her know reassuring that he would be able to handle the little one while she was on bed rest for the rest of the evening.
"Well...if you insist plus I'm sure she would love to spend time with you and Heath."She knew how much how he and Heath loved children of any age. When it came to kids, they became kids themselves.
During the rest of the evening, Bless got some sleep while PJ did babysitting duty doting over the little one.
He walked back to his and Heath's room and decided to place Catherine beside him letting her cuddle close to his chest and placed his left arm around her to hold her close that way she wouldn't fall and placing an extra pillow at her back just incase. Her quiet breaths could be heard against him while sucking on her pacifier softly.
The South African man gently rubbed Catherine's back as he put the warm blanket over them as he layed there watching her sleep watching her dark green eyes open and close before sleep called out to the little princess. Before PJ knew it, he too became tired once again and layed his head down and let sleep consume him.
All was heard in the room was quietness except for their soft breathing, the gentle sound of the air conditioning running in their room, and Heath's soft snoring as they all dozed into a peaceful slumber.
