Abandoned Baby

Chapter 71

A few weeks later Bless was staying in the bus working on the scripts and such for the show. She didn't feel like working in the arena since she knew she needed her rest later since she was now pregnant plus she didn't want too much stress on herself.

It was now after 9PM when she heard the front door open to see Stu come in and knew he and the guys were just finishing up their matches to head to the next town so they would be overnight driving to Kansas City.

"Hey there little girl."Stu greeted Bless getting on the bus.

"Hey Stu."Bless greeted the big Brit.

"How's work?"He asked her.

"Pretty good. Just got some scripts and travel schedules done and rearranged some flight schedules for the guys that got screwed up so I fixed them and everything should be going smoothly from there."She explained closing her laptop feeling tired and laying her head back.

"How was the show?"She asked turning to him.

"Pretty good and tiring. Ready to settle in for the night and maybe watch a movie before bed."He said tiredly ready to hit the sack soon.

"Good idea. I would love to do the same."She yawned sleepily and checked on Catherine who was still asleep in her portable playpen.

"Hey baby. You look tired. Maybe you should lie down."Drew greeted his pregnant girlfriend giving her a kiss.

"I might take a go to bed soon. I might as well get a shower and get something to drink before going to bed."She said sleepily as she smiled a small smile at her boyfriend.

"Good idea beautiful."Drew said to her before he was gonna take over to drive for the night while PJ was gonna stay up with him and be the navigator for most of the way.

After Bless finished working, she put away her stuff in their room before getting her toiletries and PJ's to get ready for bed soon.

She took a quick 20 minute shower and saw Heath,Stephen,and Stu were settled on the floor on the couches sitting around watching a movie of their choice.

The young expectant mother walked over to the cabinet to grab herself a mug before walking over to the mini fridge to get herself some milk putting it down on the table before walking to her room to grab a pillow and her blanket and walked out with them settling on the couch to rest since she couldn't sleep without Drew so she wanted to be in the company of her baby girl and the guys.

The pregnant girl laid on the couch with her hand on her stomach and watched the guys chatter softly away with one another while the movie was playing in the background.

Heath softly smiled at his young pregnant friend as he sat with Stephen and Stu watching tv.

"Isn't she sweet?"Heath commented to his friends seeing how innocent looking Bless was in her sleep.

"She is huh...just innocent as an angel."Stu agreed with Heath looking over his pregnant friend seeing her fast asleep with her hand protectively holding her stomach where her and Drew's baby was.

"Ay lad...She is such a beauty indeed. Drew is lucky to have snatched up a cutie like her."Stephen commented too as he watched his best friend sleep like a baby.

The three men couldn't help but gush over their pregnant friend and how cute she definitely was. They knew how lucky Drew was to have her and they were right. They were really happy for them that there was going to be another little bundle of joy on the way and they couldn't wait to expand their little family once the little one was here.

After watching her sleep for a while, the guys each took quick showers that way they could each get turns before they needed to hit the hay for the next town they were going to perform at.

A few minutes later Catherine got up crying as she just woken up causing Heath to tend to the little munchkin just as Bless was getting up tiredly when she heard her daughter cry for her in her sleep.

"Go back to bed sweetheart. I got her."Heath told his pregnant best friend as she was just waking up slowly opening her eyes.

Bless opened her eyes momentarily seeing Heath tend to her and Drew's daughter and gave him a smile as thanks as he nodded letting her know Catherine was in his care as she went back to her deep slumber.

"Hey cutie. What's the matter?"The Southern Rock band asked his beautiful niece.

"Mama..."She cried onto his shoulder.

"Mama is sleeping right now baby but don't worry Uncle Heath is here."He told his niece softly kissing her chubby little cheek.

"You want a bottle baby?"He asked his niece cradling her as the little one whimpered against him.

"Come on sweetheart. Let's go see if mommy made you any bottles."They went to the mini fridge to see two bottles full in the fridge before closing it and gave it to her.

"Is everything okay back there Heath?"Drew asked when he heard his daughter crying.

"Everything is fine. Your daughter woke up hungry."The Rockband reassured the Scot who was the driver up front as he cradled the little girl in his arms feeding Cat her bottle.

"There you go little one. Do you want to snuggle with Uncle Heath tonight?"He asked her as he stood up to get her stuffed puppy and baby blanket before returning to the couch with her in his arms as he put the stuff aside while he fed her.

"Hey you. Look whose up."Stu chuckled seeing his young niece with his best friend.

"Baby girl woke up hungry so I'm here tending to her. Bless woke up so I just told her to go back to sleep since I know she's been working so hard tonight so I'll take over baby duty for a while."The Southern man told the Brit as he laid the baby in his arms

"You're gonna make a great dad someday man. I guarantee that."The Brit complimented to his former NEXUS/Corre colleague smiling at him and the young one.

"Thanks man. I really appreciate that."The redhead smiled up at the Brit. He hoped one day he and Steph would be able to have kids of their own one day after they got married.

"Hey it's true. Any way...I'm gonna hit the hay man. Good night and good night lil' one."Stu said to his friend before he went over to kiss his niece on the forehead before retreating tto his room.

"Night Stu."The redhead smiled watching his friend leave for his room to hit the hay.

After Catherine got done eating, Heath brought Catherine with him to dispose of the bottle in the sink and started to walk around and burp her.

After that task was finished, he returned to the pull out bed couch laying her down with him and putting her stuffed puppy beside her in her arms before covering her with the baby blanket.

He laid on his side rubbing her back gently to get her to sleep as he heard her give a small sleepy sigh knowing she was getting sleepy again.

The Southern man looked over at Catherine to see her that she was asleep again as he wrapped an arm around her that way she wouldn't fall and she was cuddled next to him.

"Goodnight lil' one."Heath whispered kissing the little girl's cheek before pulling his blankets over them before he turned out the ceiling light above him and fell into a deep slumber.
