Abandoned Baby
Chapter 48
That afternoon Bless and Noelle were in the livingroom with Catherine changing the baby's diaper while Theresa was in the kitchen making dinner for all of them.
"You're doing so great so far Noelle. You really got the knack to be a mom someday."Bless was impressed with how fast Noelle worked with the baby changing her diaper.
"Thanks Bless. I appreciate that. I really want kids of my own one day and hope to have one as beautiful as yours."Noelle felt touched by Bless' words as they cleaned up and Noelle played with Catherine tickling her causing her to giggle.
"I'm sure you will honey. How old are you by the way?"Bless asked as she brushed her hair in her ear.
"19 going on 20 soon."The brunette said smiling as they sat back and relaxed while playing with Catherine who cooed and gurgled up at them.
"You're still young and have plenty of time. Just continue to enjoy life."Bless gave her some advice as she shook the rattle that was in her hand as Catherine giggled up at her catching it in her tiny hands.
The brunette took that advice from her sister-in-law.
"I hope my bro is treating you and Catherine right. I can see how much he truly loves you both and don't want to see any girl hurt because when he was younger he used to be a player from what I know."Noelle told her knowing her brother could be quite the player when he wanted too.
"You're brother has been nothing but an absolute prince. He even loves being a daddy playing with Catherine. Sometimes I would be standing at the door peeking in on them and he would lay with her on our bed to play with her. She's got him wrapped around his finger."Bless and Noelle giggled when she heard that and loved to hear those kind of stories about his brother coming from her future sis.
"Sounds like my big brother and I can see how much he loves you the way he hugs and kisses you."Noelle knew it was true love with them. Their eyes told the story of their love.
"I love him so much and I would do anything for him. It just sucks he's on Superstars all the time and it hurts me to see him there. Sometimes I feel powerless not able to help him. He's a champ though working hard and never complains and that's what I love about him."She explained to Drew's younger sibling that she would always be there for him no matter what even though he was on Superstars she hoped he got moved to SD to better himself and climb back up the ladder.
"That's my bro. He may be stubborn at times but he's always the hard worker. Don't feel bad Bless. At least the positive thing is you're there to be there for him and that's what counts."The two women bonded for a while while playing with Catherine who was sucking on her pacifier watching them intently.
"You're right."The PA agreed.
A few minutes later Catherine began to cry again.
"Oh sweetie. What's the matter sweet girl?"Bless asked picking her up giving the tiny infant a kiss on the forehead.
"She must be hungry."Noelle noticed once Bless picked Cat up in her arms.
"Are you hungry and thirsty baby?"The young mother asked Catherine who whimpered in her arms.
"Mama is gonna feed you. It's okay."The raven haired mom consoled her baby.
The women walked in the kitchen to get the infant highchair that Drew had brought along just in case of emergencies or if they needed it sitting Catherine down.
"Vocal little girl. She really is hungry."Theresa knew when she heard her future granddaughter crying in her mother's arms.
"She must be hungry or maybe thirsty."Bless guessed knew it was time for her baby's feeding when usually Catherine was cranky.
"Drew was a lot like her at that age when he would cry. He would either be hungry or thirsty."The older brunette giggled reminiscing those times when Drew was at that age.
"Thanks for the advice Theresa."Bless appreciated that knowing why the baby would be crying.
"I know baby...it's okay. Mama is gonna feed you."Bless sat down with the baby putting her bib on and started making her some oatmeal and a bottle.
"What are the boys doing?"Noelle asked her mom what they were doing outside.
"Probably hanging out near the shed talking. Knowing boys they want to bond."She guessed about the men.
The young mother started mixing some stuff together in the bowl to make the oatmeal and fixed her a bottle.
"Grandma, would you like to feed Catherine?"Bless asked with a twinkle in her eyes knowing maybe Theresa would like to feed the baby.
"Are you sure you want me to sweetie?"The older woman felt touched by her future daughter-in-law's gesture.
"Sure. After all you're going to be her grandma."Bless was sure as the older woman smiled and hugged the young woman as she sat down in front of Catherine to feed her.
"Mmmm..is that good baby?"Her mother asked as Theresa was feeding her.
"She must love eating."The older woman laughed as she watched Catherine eat like a pro with her food.
"She surely does and she's such a good girl. Make sure you eat all of it honey."Bless said to her daughter kissing her head.
After the guys bonded, they came in the house to see Theresa with Catherine while Noelle and Bless were eating lunch as they served themselves since they wanted Theresa to bond with her future granddaughter.
"Hey mom. I see someone is a taking to Nanna."Drew noticed as he smiled seeing Catherine giggling as she was eating and enjoying spending time with her future grandma.
"She sure is sweetheart. I love her already."Theresa loved this little girl already and stole her heart as she was feeding her.
"I remember you were like Catherine at this age when I sat you down and fed you."Theresa reminisced missing those times and her little boy was now a man.
"Awww mom."He blushed as he took a seat next to his girlfriend who smiled.
"It's true honey."Theresa enjoyed spending time with him when Cat was his age at that time.
"You're still a mommy's boy honey. I can tell."Bless giggled as she leaned on him.
"Very much so baby. Gotta love my mom."He agreed kissing the top of her head.
"How did your bonding go by the way?"She asked as Lee and David were sitting down and talking as well over something but didn't hear them.
"Pretty good and glad I got to spend time with my dad and get to know more about Lee. Lee is a great guy and totally loves my sister. He hopes to make it as a doctor one day since he loves working with kids and marry my sister since they've been high school sweethearts."He explained to her more about his future brother-in-law.
"He's good for her and I can see both of them becoming successful people."Drew knew that in his heart knowing his sister wanted to become a successful teacher one day and Lee become a doctor, it was a marriage made in heaven.
"I can tell how much they love each other too even when they held Catherine. They're made for each other."Bless knew that Noelle and Lee were a great couple and hoped for the best for them.
"I agree. Just like you and I."He stated proudly as he kissed her on the mouth.
Bless smiled as they intertwined fingers as she let him taste some of the food she helped his mom make.
"Mmmmm...so good."He smiled as Bless shared some of her food.
"You two are so cute."Noelle noticed Bless blow the hot smoke away as she fed Drew while sharing her food as she sat with her boyfriend.
"That's my princess."Drew said to his sister about his girlfriend.
"You're home cooking really tastes so good hon. Who knew you could be good at anything?"Drew told his girlfriend of a year since she was a really good cook.
"I try my best."She shrugged with a smile.
"Awwww honey... look at how cute they are."Theresa smiled towards her son and future daughter-in-law since they were laughing together as she was sharing her food with him.
"They make quite the couple."David said agreeing with his wife.
"They surely do babe."She nodded smiling at the two lovebirds.
"They remind me of us when we were at that age."He chuckled squeezing his wife near him.
"I can definitely see you were like Drew at his age when we were together and look at us now. We're like them love."She told him with a bright smile.
"Indeed beautiful."David agreed with his wife watching the young love birds interacting together as he pecked her lips.
As soon as she finished feeding Catherine, she decided she would give her a warm bubble bath and put her down for her nap that way Drew and Bless could spend more time together and hoped the two didn't mind since she loved spending time with her new baby granddaughter.
"Drew...Bless...I hope you two lovebirds don't mind but I'm gonna take this little one upstairs and give Cat a nice bubblebath then put her down for her nap."Theresa told them as she picked up Catherine in her arms.
"Not a problem mom. I'm sure Catherine would love spending time with you and dad for a while."Drew didn't mind as he could see how much she loved the baby already.
"Go ahead Theresa. Go spend time with your granddaughter for a while. Thank you so much for helping Drew and I."Bless appreciated her future mother-in-law's help with the baby.
"It's not a problem sweetheart plus you and Drew need to spend time together more often."Theresa wanted the couple to be together seeing they were enjoying each company as well as her daughter was being helped up by her boyfriend to go up to her room to study for their finals after they finished eating.
"Come on doll. Nanna is gonna give you a warm bath and give you a bottle before you need a nap."Theresa spoke to Catherine who snuggled up to her immediately which warmed her heart.
"You need some help love?"David asked following behind his wife.
"Sure babe. Come on."Theresa didn't mind her husband helping her with their granddaughter.
