Abandoned Baby

Chapter 87

That afternoon Drew and Bless came home after shopping with some bags of stuff they bought for Catherine and the baby including got some groceries. When they walked through the door, they heard hooting and hollering in the livingroom knowing the boys had to be watching the game like they said they would.

"It sounds like the boys are having a good time." Bless told her boyfriend.

"Sounds like they are." Her hubby agreed with her hearing the boys having a good time as they put their bags down.

"I'm gonna get dinner started as soon as I put away the groceries." She told him that she was going to make dinner for all of them.

"Sounds like a good idea sweetheart. What are you planning on making?" Her man asked what she was going to cook.

"I was thinking corned beef, cabbage, and mashed potatoes for dinner." Bless explained what was for dinner.

"Sounds delicious." Her boyfriend told her as he helped her unload some groceries and put them away and stocked some of the other stuff in the cabinets.

5 minutes later Stu walked in the kitchen when he seen his best friend and Bless just got home from spending the day together.

"Hey you two. How was hanging out together?" The Brit smiled seeing the sweet couple help each other in the kitchen.

"It was fun and relaxing and plus we got some stuff at the mall then went grocery shopping. I'm making dinner for all of us tonight by the way." The soon to be mother explained.

"What's on the menu tonight love?" The Preston man inquired.

"Corned beef, cabbage,and mashed potatoes." She told him what she planned on making.

"That sounds delicious." The big Brit agreed.

"That's what I said." Drew piped in agreeing with his best friend.

"Catherine is in the living room napping after PJ put her to sleep after giving her a bottle." Stu told Bless that the baby was asleep.

"Thanks for the good report." Bless told the Brit with a warm smile.

"When are you guys due out back on the road?" The pregnant woman asked.

"Tomorrow morning since our flight is at 5." Drew told his girlfriend as he was helping her with dinner.

"Oh ok." Bless nodded understanding.

"How long are you guys gone for?" She inquired curiously wanting to know how long they were gone for.

"Maybe a month or two depends since we have really tight schedule on the road starting tomorrow." Stu let her know how long they would be gone and wouldn't be home for a while.

"Oh..." Bless responded sort of sadly knowing she wouldn't see Drew for a month while she was at home and that meant missing a few doctor's appointments and not seeing her and their daughter.

"Honey, you okay?" Drew asked her as he seen the sad look on his girlfriends face.

"Um...yeah...I'm okay." She reassured as tears started to gather in eyes trying not to cry in front of Stu and Drew. She knew they would be gone for months at a time but she didn't know it would be this long this time and would miss Drew's presence around in the house and miss out some stuff during her pregnancy. It sort of scared her that she would be alone for the first time in a month or two absence from her boyfriend while she stayed home during her maternity leave.

"Babe..."Drew noticed the tears in her eyes wiping them with the back of her hand.

"I'm okay..."She said in a small voice even though she was trying to hide it.

"Baby,you're not okay." Drew could sense her vibe knowing this is the first time he had to leave her home for a month or two as he walked over and enclosed his arms around her as she sighed leaning into his embrace.

"I'm sorry honey. I guess it's just the hormones that I feel so clingy." Bless apologized to Drew.

"Don't feel sorry baby. I know you don't want me to leave but I promise I'll make up for it when I come back home." He told her as he hugged her from behind and kissed the top of her head.

After making dinner, the guys walked in as soon as dinner was ready and would have the last meal of the night before they left early morning.

That evening after dinner, Bless decided to take a shower before bed. She stood in the shower letting the tears flow knowing how much she was going to miss Drew and it really scared her he was leaving her for the first time. Usually they would be together all the time and now it seemed like he was going to be gone forever.

The pregnant woman sniffled back the tears as she sighed trying her best not to break down emotionally.

"Baby,you okay in there?" Drew asked softly knocking wondering what was taking his girlfriend long in the shower hoping she was okay since he was worried she hadn't come out yet as he was laying in their bed when he heard the shower still running and noticing it was 25 minutes she was in the shower.

"I'm fine babe." Bless reassured she was okay as she was finishing rinsing her hair and stepped out of the shower as she grabbed her clean towel from the linen closet to wrap herself with it as she unlocked the bathroom door with her hair still dripping wet.

"Sorry I worried you babe."She apologized wiping her tears as she sighed trying to be brave for him knowing her hormones were all out of whack.

"Baby, don't be sorry." Drew smiled softly at her as he saw the tears and gently wiped them with the pads of his thumbs lovingly.

"You look beautiful with only a towel by the way."He chuckled seeing the towel neatly tucked as she was walking towards the dresser to find something comfy to wear for bed.

"Honey,do you have a shirt I can borrow?" Bless asked him if he had a shirt big enough for her to wear to bed since she didn't feel like wearing pj's while she grabbed her underwear from the dresser.

"Yeah...let me look for one." He chuckled as he walked over to his dresser to find one of his old shirts and tossed her one.

"Thank you." She smiled weakly at him as he closed his drawer before she retreated back to the bathroom to put it on.

"Babe, you don't need to change in there you know. I've seen you plenty naked plenty of times. You're still beautiful." Drew let her know how beautiful she was as he saw she was walking towards the bathroom.

"Plus...you won't be needing these tonight." He playfully raised his eyebrows seeing the panties she had to be wearing to bed and loved when she went commando in bed that way he could just slip inside her while in bed. The naughty things he would do to her.

Babe, you're so bad." She giggled seeing the wheels spinning in his head as she turned to face him before going in the bathroom just to change.

"Awwww...you're no fun." He playfully pouted as he heard the door click as she went to go change and then heard the hair dryer go off knowing she had hung her towel off to the side and started drying her beautiful long curls that he loved running his fingers through.

After Bless finished what she was doing, she walked to bed wearing Drew's shirt and a pair of panties including her hair was down and sans makeup making her naturally beautiful.

"Mmmm...you smell of lavender...my favorite scent." Drew smiled against her hair taking in his girlfriends scent.

"Thanks babe." She smiled as she snuggled close to him just wanting to feel his warmth.

"Is Catty sleeping?"She asked him softly as he wrapped an arm around her.

"Yup sound asleep after I gave her her bottle."Drew let her know kissing his girlfriend on the cheek letting her know their daughter was asleep peacefully in the nursery.

"Good." Bless sighed softly as she yawned tiredly snuggling in her boyfriends sweet embrace.

"Good night sweetheart. I love you." Drew told her softly as he kissed her temple.

"Good night babe. I love you too." Bless said taking his hand into her's kissing it before the couple fell into a deep slumber.
