Abandoned Baby

Chapter 50

The next morning Bless woke up in major pain clutching her stomach causing Drew to wake up.

"Baby,what's wrong?"Drew asked his girlfriend.

"I don't know. My stomach hurts really bad."She cried as she put her arms around her midsection.

"Are you cramping again babe?"Drew was more alert as he tended to his pain stricken girlfriend.

"I'm not sure..."She said as the pains intensified feeling as if knives were stabbing at her all over.

"I think I need to go to the bathroom."She told him as he helped her up feeling concerned for her.

As Bless went to the bathroom, the pains intensified as if she felt she was being stabbed numerous times in the stomach.

She clutched at her stomach doubling over pain when she felt wetness run down her legs. Looking down, there was blood.

"Drew!"She yelled for him.

The Scot heard his girlfriend yell and his heart raced hearing her cries.

Opening up the door, he saw Bless standing up clutching her stomach and looking down he saw there was blood on her legs and floor.

"Honey,something's wrong."She told him terrified.

All of a sudden, Bless felt another sharp pain hit her as she looked to almost collapse as Drew caught her.

"It's okay baby, I got you."Drew was scared for his girlfriend and knew he had to get his parents to help him.

"Hold tight baby, I'm gonna get mom and dad."He let her know while kissing her forehead.

Drew went downstairs where his parents were.

"Mom,dad...something's wrong with Bless..."He told them.

"Sweetie,what's wrong?"His mother Theresa told him when she saw the scared look on his face.

"Bless is upstairs. She woke up in pain...she's bleeding mom..."Drew told her and his dad.

"Where is she son?"David asked concerned for the young woman.

"In the bathroom upstairs. She's losing a lot of blood."The oldest told his dad as they ran up to where Bless was and she looked so weak and her face almost white as a sheet.

"It's okay darling. We're gonna get you help."David was the first to tend to her sitting by his future daughter-in-law's side.

"Sweetie, we're here. It's going to be okay."Theresa told the pain stricken girl stroking her hair and kneeling in front of her.

"Mama...it hurts..."Bless cried weakly.

"I know it does baby. It's going to be okay."Theresa tried calming Bless down from panicking as the older woman was trying to be calm for her although she was scared for Bless as she sat there stroking the young woman's hair to try to sooth away her fears.

David wrapped up Bless and picked her up in his arms bridal style as she had her arms around him as she passed out to bring her to the nearest hospital.

"I'm gonna get the baby then we could head out."Theresa told him as she got the baby out carefully placing her in the carrier and made her way to the car along with the family.

When they got to the hospital, Lee happened to be on shift for work when he seen Bless was now in Drew's arms wondering what was going on when he heard his familiar future brother-in-law's voice asking for help.

"Drew, what happened?"The younger man asked rushing up to them.

"I don't know Lee. Bless is bleeding. She's in really bad condition."Drew was worried sick for her.

The nurses and doctor's then tended to the young woman as they were advised to sit outside the waiting room.

Drew hoped and prayed that there wasn't anything wrong with Bless as he sat there worried sick as tears built up in his green eyes. He felt so helpless.

"It's gonna be okay baby. You've got to be strong for Bless."Theresa knew how devastated her son looked as she rubbed his back in comfort hoping to give him some glimmer of hope.

"Mom...what is there's something really wrong...I couldn't forgive myself. I love her so much."He said barely above a whisper as tears ran down his eyes as he looked down at his arms that had blood stains on them from his girlfriend. He knew she had to be scared too.

"I know you do sweetheart. Your girl is a fighter. Everything will be okay."She put her arms around her son as he cried upon her shoulder as David was cradling the now awake and alert infant hoping the best as well for his future daughter-in-law.

"What's taking them so long?"The oldest McIntyre said while he frustratedly ran his fingers through his hair wanted to punch something just to get his emotions out.

"Honey, it takes a while. Let them look over her."His mother tried consoling her son trying to give him some sort of comfort although she too was concerned for Bless as well but was keeping herself calm.

"Drew!"His younger sister came in when she had gotten the call from Lee letting her know that she needed to be at the hospital because of Bless and wanted to be there for her big brother.

"Drew,what happened?"Noelle asked concerned kneeling in front of him.

"I don't even know Noelle..."Drew said looking at his little sibling.

"You know Bless is a fighter. She's going to be okay."She clutched his hand squeezing it.

25 minutes later a doctor came in.

"McIntyre family?"The tall short brown haired doctor called them as they raised their heads up to finally sigh of relief hoping there was some good news.

"Doctor, what's wrong with my girlfriend?"Drew finally wanted to know.

"Are you related to the young woman that was brought in?"The older doctor asked Drew first.

"I'm her boyfriend. Please tell me what's wrong with her."The young man pleaded to know what was wrong with his girl.

" my name is Galviston. I'm your doctor's girlfriend and have looked over her and the reason for her pains and constant bleeding...I'm sorry to inform your girlfriend Bless had suffered a miscarriage. She was 2 weeks pregnant."The doctor sadly reported to him and the family as Drew became white as a sheet sitting down as the family looked at each other in shock.

He and Bless were always so careful when they made love but he guessed the condom must of broke one time and gotten her pregnant. Her symptom of being tired was another case the previous night she wanted to go to bed but didn't think of it. Her birth control pill must of also failed and that's how they produced the baby.

"Was it a boy or girl?'Drew wanted to know.

"We're not sure definitely sure yet till we figure out the rest of the prognosis and did a D&C to get the baby out. Right now you're girlfriend is resting in room 203 and we were able to stop the bleeding in time after she miscarried." told him.

"Again . I'm sorry for you loss."The tall doctor told him as Drew nodded sadly.

"Sweetie..."Theresa said walking up to her son as he turned to her and sobbed.

"It's okay baby..."She consoled him as she too had tears in her eyes after hearing the loss of a grandchild.

"Bless is going to be so devastated...I don't know how too break it to her."He sniffled back his tears.

"Honey, just break it to her gently and try to be there for her okay?"She suggested hugging him.

"I'm so sorry son."David came up to him and patted his son's back.

"Bless and I always talked about having another baby when Catherine was a little older just to give her a sibling and I just knew she wanted to be a mom and she knew how I wanted to be a dad..."He choked up on his sobs reminiscing when they talked in the past how they wanted at least two kids.

"I know it hurts sweetie. It's going to take time." His mom consoled him the best she could.

"Drew, I'm so sorry to hear about the baby. Give Bless my love and Lee's too."His sister Noelle told him when she heard the heartbreaking news of the miscarriage.

"I'll try. Thanks Noee. I love you."He hugged her and kissed her head.

"I love you too. Now go to Bless. She'll need you."She told him softly as he nodded against her.

"We'll be out here if you need us."His mother told him as he nodded looking at his family and little girl that rested on his dad's shoulder asleep.

Walking to the room, Drew walked in the small room to see Bless laying in bed with wires and other stuff hooked up to her. She looked so peaceful like an angel under the covers.

Tears pooled at his green eyes as he sat by her bedside clutching her hand gently.

"Baby...It's me. I'm here."Drew soft spoke to his girlfriend stroking her hair hoping for her to wake up soon.

A few minutes later, Bless woke up groggy and very sore wondering where she was at when she looked down she saw she was hooked up to see many wires and machines beeping to monitor her vitals.

She then seen Drew clutching her hand and he was crying.

"Babe..."She spoke softly and weakly as she took her right hand to caress his cheek.

"Hey beautiful."He sniffled when he saw she was awake.

"What's wrong honey?"She asked the tears and wiped them with her thumb.

"I thought I was going to...lose you."He said clutching her hand into his since he was so scared for her.

"I have to get the doctor to let him know you're up."He said standing up from his seat.

"Drew,don't leave me."Bless pleaded in a small voice clutching for his arm.

"I'm gonna be right back."He reassured her as he got the doctor that was out in the hallway.

". Bless is awake."The young Scot said when he seen him.

"I'll be right in to check on her."The doctor happened to see the sad young man and nodded that he would be right in after he wrote a few things on his board.

The doctor gave Bless a sympathetic smile when he saw she was up and knew she would be sore. She would recover in a few days after that and would need some time to recover though after the loss of her child.

He checked her over when she requested some pain medication since she was so sore and told her he would. He made sure she was rested enough and gave her some time to recover after their loss of her child.

"Honey, there's something I have to tell you..."He didn't know how to tell her and it would devastate her.

"Drew, tell me...you're scaring me."Bless wanted to know what was going on and what happened to her.

"Baby...you were two weeks pregnant..."He started when her eyes got big when she noticed his strangled sob when she knew it was bad news and she could see it in his eyes since the doctor didn't tell her the rest of the details but he would instead since he would break it to her gently but knew it would take time to heal from.

"You lost the baby hon. I'm so sorry..."Drew apologized as she cradled herself into his arms and pounded her tiny fists against his chest wanting the pain to go away.

"Shhhh...it's okay sweetie. I know..."He tried his best to be there for her as they both mourned for the loss of their first biological child they've always wanted and dreamed of.

"Drew, don't leave me."Bless cried into his chest.

"I'm not leaving you ever...Don't ever think that. I love you so much."He tilted up her chin and looked into her eyes as she nodded believing him as he leaned in to kiss her forehead.

"It's my fault. I'm sorry babe..."She apologized as more tears fell.

"Honey, you couldn't have known. Don't blame yourself okay. It's not your fault. These things just happen. When you're perfectly healed we'll try for another one okay."He told her as she just held him as they sat there mourning for their lost baby until Bless had cried herself to sleep on his chest.
