Abandoned Baby
Chapter 74
The next morning Bless woke up in her boyfriend Drew's arms. She smiled at him at how cute he was with his hair framing his beautiful peaceful face.
Her lover stirred in his sleep opening his bright jade eyes and smiled at her tiredly when he felt movement to see his girlfriend brush his hair back gently.
"Hi."Drew said softly at his pregnant girlfriend.
"Hi."She greeted him back sweetly caressing his cheek with thumb.
"How did you sleep?"He asked her.
"Better now that you're here. What about you?"She asked him.
"Good too now that I have you in my arms."Drew said letting her cuddle against him.
"Mmmm...I feel so safe in your arms."She mumbled softly as he felt her pull her against his body.
"How's our little one in there?"He asked as he wrapped an arm around her and felt for the little bump where their baby was.
"Pretty good so far. I can't wait till these next eight months roll around and when you know it our baby will be here."She said proudly with a smile when she felt his hand caress her small bump.
"I can't wait either. We're finally going to be parents."Drew was happy and excited.
"I've been thinking. Maybe I should consider taking some time off just to stay home in the next couple of months for maternity leave before the baby gets here plus I don't want to put too much stress on myself and the baby and I can still work from home."She thought it would be a great idea to have maternity leave in the next few months or so before her eighth to ninth month when she gave birth to their baby plus she was scared of having another miscarriage again like their first baby.
"That sounds like a good idea lass plus you do need all the rest you could possibly get and I don't want anything bad happening to you,Catherine, or the baby but I'm afraid of leaving you three while I'm on the road."Drew hated leaving Bless by herself with Catherine including without anyone watching them.
"Honey, I'll have the phone with me at all times that way you can call me plus we talk to each other on the computer all the time when you're on the road and when I'm not with you."She told that way they could communicate with one another while he was out on the road and she was at home.
"I'm going to miss having you around until the baby comes."He said as he cuddled her next to him.
"I'm going to miss you too but no matter what we'll always have each other."She said with a smile.
"You have a great point lass."Her boyfriend and father of their child told her sweetly.
After the couple spent time together, They decided to get out of bed and hang out with their friends who were already up either eating or just lounging around while talking with one another.
PJ and Heath were still up. Heath was at the passenger side of the bus while PJ was at the wheel.
After Oklahoma City for their last house show and Smackdown, they were finally going to be home back in Tampa which all of them were all anticipating after all the shows they did.
"Hey you two. We're having pizza for dinner if anybody is hungry since we made a pit stop a few minutes ago."The Brit bellowed that there was lunch on the table.
"Mmmmm I'm hungry."Bless said smiling as she decided to get a plate before walking over to grab a slice of pizza.
"Looks good."The Scot said feeling hungry too as his girlfriend passed him a paper plate as he too dug in for lunch.
"So how's our favorite mommy doing?"The Irishman asked her.
"Pretty good so far and can't wait to meet our baby in a couple of months."Bless was anticipating to thew new bundle of joy to be here soon.
"We're happy for you baby girl that you and Drew want another baby. It's going to be great to have another baby around the house as well and expanding into our little family."Stu spoke up with a smile knowing how their family was growing.
"Thanks Stu. I've always wanted a baby and now my dream is coming true. Soon Catherine will also have either a baby brother or baby sister."Bless was so blessed to have another baby after the first miscarriage plus she always wanted a family of her very own and right now couldn't be a better time for her and Drew to start one.
"Are you and Drew planning on moving out of the apartment once the baby arrives?"Stephen was curious if she and Drew were gonna try to find a house of their own that way they could be all together as a family.
"Well...Drew and I haven't really spoken about it yet but we'll see..."Bless said to the Irishman before turning to her boyfriend to let him decide.
"We'll still see after the baby is born and we may find a house that's close to Stu's maybe across the street or a few minutes away from the apartment that way we're close by and go house hunting if things end up working for us other than that we may still stay with Stu until we're financially stable."Drew told his friends how he and Bless were going to work things out once the baby was born.
"Good thing you two are planning everything out in advance and have everything ready."Stephen was glad to hear how they would plan things out once the baby arrived in a couple of months.
"Stu, I hope you don't mind our decision on Bless and I moving out if and when we're ready plus I think it would be best for Bless and I now that the baby is here and maybe we could find a house of our own that's close to you guys."Drew hoped his best friend wasn't too upset since maybe it was the right time now that the baby would be born they would need a place of their own.
"Drew,I love you like a brother and of course I'm not mad. I understand if you and Bless need privacy and your own space, that's totally okay with me. I think I would love to help you two out if you two want to find a house or apartment that's close by my apartment." The former bare knuckle brawler gave his input how he felt he needed to tell his best friend and was happy for him.
"Drew,are you sure you want to move out again plus I know how close you want to be with Stu and the guys."Bless hoped he made the right decision on his part since he always wanted to be close to the guys especially Stu who was like a big brother to him.
"It won't be a problem lass plus we'll probably be a few minutes away or just across the street from them that way and if we need them they'll be there right away and we don't have to travel far. It will also help us make a bigger home now that we'll have the baby around and I'm sure Catherine will be needing to use her own room once she gets older and I miss having our on us time when we need it."Drew told her as he laced his fingers with her's.
"I guess you're right. It would be nice to have a place to call our own and expand our little family."She said smiling as she agreed with him while she rubbed her stomach thinking about their baby.
While the four of them were talking, Bless overheard Catherine crying on the baby monitor.
"Mommy duty."She spoke up excusing herself to go tend to the little one.
"I'll help you babe."Drew knew she would need the help now that she was pregnant.
"Thanks honey."She appreciated his help with their daughter as Stephen and Stu smiled at the cute couple who went to tend to the young one.
"They make a nice pair don't they?"The Great White turned to his best friend asking him.
"They sure do." The Preston man agreed.
"Hey, what's wrong with my baby girl?"Bless asked picking up Catherine snuggling the little one in her arms.
Catherine whimpered in her arms while sniffling.
"It's okay honey. Mama and dada are here."Bless consoled her daughter while rubbing her back.
"Are you hungry?"Her mom asked the baby who whimpered.
"Come on sweetie. Let's get you a bottle first."Bless said kissing her daughter's head as she and Drew walked out of the room together while she carried the baby in her arms as she went too the mini fridge to grab a bottle and gave it to Catherine who didn't want it.
"Honey,aren't you hungry?"Her mother asked the little one who didn't take the bottle
The baby cried and shielded her face in her mother's long locks of hair while clutching her shirt.
"Sweetie. Try to drink your milk."Bless said softly to Catherine as she bounced the baby in her arms.
"Mama..."Catherine cried softly.
"I'm right here baby. It's okay."Bless consoled her daughter the best she could.
"Are you not feeling good baby love?"Her mother asked her daughter.
Bless felt her daughter's forehead and she felt fine. She guessed Catherine was cranky or needed a diaper change.
"Come on sweetie, mama is gonna check if you need a diaper change."She walked back in the room with Catherine to check if she needed a change.
"I guess my baby was just needed a new diaper. Mama's gonna change you sweetheart."Bless grabbed the diaper bag and got a few things out it including a new diaper.
"Hey little girl. What's wrong with my dumpling?"Drew asked when he seen Catherine's tears on her face as he walked in and sat on the bed next to his daughter.
"Cat needed a diaper change. She just wanted me to change her."Bless said to her boyfriend as she was now changing her daughter while giving Cat her bottle which she accepted and drank it with Drew's help while holding it for Catherine.
After Bless changed Cat's diaper, She had her boyfriend watch the baby for a few minutes while she threw the dirty diaper in the bathroom before washing her hands at the sink.
She returned to the room a few minutes later to see Drew bouncing the little infant girl in his arms while she drank her milk.
"She seems pretty calm now after being changed."The WWE Superstar noticed as he had Catherine on his lap.
"Yeah she is. No more tears."Bless cooed as she wiped some tears from her daughter's face with her thumbs while smiling softly.
"You wanna eat your oatmeal baby love?"Her mom asked her if she was hungry.
Catherine looked at her with her big green eyes as she drank her milk and smiled around her bottle contently.
"I guess you're not hungry yet huh?"Bless guessed as she was peaceful and content in her daddy's arms.
"I guess now this means you can spend time with me and dada while you're up."Bless loved spending time with her daughter as well did Drew whenever they had free time with her.
"You wanna watch cartoons lass?"The Scot asked his little girl who was on his lap.
Catherine gurgled and babbled around her bottle as her mother giggled at how cute she was as if she was trying to carry on a conversation with them.
"I guess that means yes."He chuckled as Bless laid on the bed with them watching the love of her life interacting with their daughter.
He turned on the tv as he laid Catherine on the middle of the bed with them as Bless put an arm around their daughter and stroked her dark locks of hair.
The Scot turned on some cartoons for Catherine while he too laid on the bed loving the quiet moment of spending time with the love of his lives.
"Before mama forgets, here's puppy baby love."Bless turned to get Catherine's stuffed toy puppy placing it in her arms as Catherine hugged her favorite toy close to her while putting the baby blanket on her and adding the blanket to keep her warm.
Drew smiled when he seen his pregnant girlfriend give their daughter the stuffed toy that he got Catherine that she got attached too and it never left her side.
During that afternoon the little family spent a little time together while they still could before traveling to the next town before it was time to head back home.
