Abandoned Baby

Chapter 89

After lunch was served, Carla retreated back to her room to study mean while Bless decided to give her baby a warm bath and hoped to hear from Drew later before bed later tonight after dinner.

A few minutes later Meera walked in to check in on Bless and the baby when she heard laughter coming from the master bedroom. She made her way in Bless' room to see in the bathroom was Bless sitting with Catherine who was splashing about in the bathtub playing with her toys in the bubble bath while playfully splashing her mother.

"Hi baby. Enjoy ka kay mommy?" (Are you enjoying with mommy?) Meera made her presence known as she smiled at the baby in the tub as Bless heard Meera's voice and turned around to see her.

"Laro at enjoy si baby." (Yup baby is enjoying and playing.) Bless told the maid with a warm smile as she sat beside the bathtub holding onto Catherine that way she didn't fall.

"Mabuti naman. Kumusta ang buhay mo ngayon?" (Good to hear. How's life right now?) The maid inquired.

"Okay lang pretty much busy sa trabaho at babysit yung baby. Maligaya ang buhay ko kung nandito si Drew. Siya ang constant best friend at boyfriend ko. Mahal ko siya yaya." (It's okay and pretty much busy with work and baby sitting with the baby. My life is so happy when Drew's here. He's my constant best friend and boyfriend. I love him maid Meera.)

"I can tell anak (Child). It's in your eyes and in your heart. He sounds like a prince." The maid understood smiling at the young woman who got the baby out of the tub after a warm bath and wrapped the toddler in a warm towel.

"Yaya, bakit tawagin ko' anak, curious lang?" (Maid, why do you call me child, just curious?) Bless wanted to know every time she heard Meera call her child.

"Kasi Bless. Mahalin kita parang anak ko... Gusto kita talaga tawagin ka anak. Sa isang mahal ko sa inyo at hindi sa mama mo gusto puntahan..gusto ko mag ampunin ka tapos mag hiwalay ang mama at papa mo at bigyan kita ang ibang bagong kinabukasan. Naririnig mag move kayo sa ibang bansa but hindi ko alam nasaan ka, yung mommy mo, at si Evelyn. Mabuti meet tayo dito."

(Because Bless. I love you like you were my own child. I want to call you my child. I love you not like your mom and not have you go with her...I wanted to adopt you after your mom and dad split up and give you a new life. I heard you moved to another country but I don't know where your mom, you,and Evelyn went. It's great that we were able to meet here.)

"Yaya, alam mo nasaan si Papa at si mama?" (Maid, do you know where my dad and mom are?) Bless asked wanting to find her parents.

"Alam ko nasaan ang Papa mo...nakita ko siya sa Bacolod ang naririnig may ibang pamilya siya. Ang mama mo,hindi pa." (I know where your dad is...I've seen he's in Bacolod and heard he has another family. Your mom, no I don't know as of yet.) The maid explained knowing where her dad's whereabouts were but none from Bless' mom.

"Kumusta si Papa?" (How's dad?) Bless wanted to know more information on her biological dad.

"Okay lang siya. I think may ibang girlfriend ang papa mo after hiwalay siya sa mommy mo." (He's doing okay. Your papa may have another girlfriend after he split with your mom.)

"Yaya. Do you think mahal pa rin ako si Papa?" (Papa still loves me?) The expectant mother asked hoping her dad would still love her.

"Oo anak. Alam ko sa puso niya mahal kayo." (Yes child, I'm sure in his heart he still loves you.) Meera tried giving her some glimmer of hope on that her father loved her.

After they talked for a little bit, Bless decided to put the baby down for her nap as she sat up on the bed patting Catherine's back with a small smile.

"Tulog ni si baby." (Baby is sleeping.) Meera said as she walked by the room to see Bless put Cat down to sleep after her bath.

"Opo yaya...tulog siya ulit parang hindi cranky siya mamaya. Minsan kulit si Catherine kung hindi siya tulog." (Yup maid. She's asleep still s she wouldn't be cranky later. Catherine's usually naughty when she doesn't sleep.) Bless spoke up as she saw the maid standing at the door smiling at them and they looked so cute like mother like daughter.

"Yaya, can I ask you something?" Bless asked her.

"Sure anak...what's that?" The maid asked with a smile as she walked in the room to sit with Bless.

"Yaya, mahal si papa at mama sa isat isa?" (Maid, did dad and mom love each other very much?) Bless wanted to know if her parents were even happy together before they split.

"I guess so anak...alam ko parang high school sweethearts sila. Mag tanan sila after college tapos buntis ang mama mo with you kasi mahal sila dalawa at mahal ang daddy mo sa yo at gusto niya protectahan. Hindi gusto ang Lolo mo ang mommy mo sa papa mo kasi hindi sila match but mahal na mahal ang mommy mo sa papa mo talaga so from alam ko tanan sila. I guess after Evelyn, hiwalay ang mommy at papa mo...hindi ko alam bakit but siguro hindi sila maligaya sa buhay nila at gusto mag move ang mommy mo sa ibang bansa parang makita siya sa pera kasi gusto niya bigyan ka at si Evelyn ang bagong gandang kinabukasan after hiwalay ang magulang mo."

(I guess so child. I know they were high school sweethearts. They ran away with each other after college after your mom was pregnant with you because they loved each other so much and your dad wanted to protect you. Your grandfather didn't like your mom to be with your dad because they didn't match but your mom loved him very much so that's why they ran away with each other. I guess after Evelyn, they split up...I don't know why but I guess they weren't happy with the way their life was and that's wh your mom wanted to move to another country so she'd have enough money to give you and your sister a brand new life after they split.)

"Tapos hiwalay si momma at si papa, Mag move namin sa Hong Kong sa Japan. 6 years old ako noon at 2 years old pala si Evelyn." (After mom and dad split, we moved to Hong Kong. I was 6 years old and Evelyn was 2.) Bless knew since she,her mom,and Evelyn had moved after her parents had split. Her dad was none too happy with them moving away that far but she guessed her mom had parental rights over them after splitting up from what she could understand.

"Paano yan malaman?" (How do you know that?) Meera asked Bless.

"We lived there for quite some time. Trabaho kami sa anong job kita namin. Mag split kami kay mama after teenagers ako at si Evelyn kasi gusto namin ang bagong buhay sa ibang bansa. Hindi gusto namin diyan at liit ang kita namin sa trabaho so nandito pala mag move sa states. Mag high school at college ako dito parang personal assistant at anong trabaho gusto mag gawa when I got into WWE and met Drew kay Stephen. May associates degree ako sa business at PR tapos ang schooling ko after 4 years. Si Evelyn...gusto niya si pre-med sa LA but..."

(We worked there. We split up from mom after Evelyn and I were teenagers because we wanted a new life here in the states. We didn't like it very much there and we had such little pay at work so we decided to move here in the states. I went to high school and college here for being a personal assistant ang any job I could get when I got in with WWE and met Drew through Stephen. I have an associates degree for Public Relations after my schooling in 4 years. Evelyn...she wanted to do pre-med in LA but...)

Bless sniffled getting to the hard part which was so hard to open up of her death.

"Bakit Bless?" (What's wrong Bless?) Meera asked seeing her sniffle back her tears not able to finish the last sentence.

Meera sat beside her and rubbed her back gently.

"Patay si Evelyn sa isang lasing ng driver...Half way niya mag start ng pre med at accepted siya sa UCLA." (Evelyn died due to a drunk driver. She was half way to accepting pre-med at UCLA.) Bless said while wiping away her tears.

"Anak, I'm so sorry...Hindi ko alam." (Child, I'm so sorry...I didn't know.) Meera was shocked to hear what happened to her younger sibling as she hugged her.

"Miss na miss ko siya...hirap mag cope." (I miss her so much...it's so hard to cope.) Bless said sniffling back her tears.

"I know anak. It'll take time..." Meera comforted her.

"Nandoon si Drew sa tabi ko mag patay si Evelyn sa ospital. May complications siya the following day following sa injuries niya." (Drew was at my side when Evelyn died at the hospital. She had major complications the following day following her injuries.) Bless told the maid what had happened during that whole day.

"Gusto niya mag enjoy si Evelyn satin bagong start ng college niya sa fall. Akala ko we could be together but hindi pala." (We wanted Evelyn to enjoy staying with us before she started college in the fall. I thought we could be together but I guess it didn't happen.) Bless sniffled trying to stay strong.

"Afterwards patay ang isang anak ko overseas sa bahay ni Drew sa Ayr kasi may tour namin diyan at gusto mag kita ang magulang niya...hindi ko alam 2 weeks pala ako buntis...Gusto mag anak ako at si Drew. Cope talaga ako after a week kasi nandoon siya at kaibigan niya parang kuya's ko...ang sweet sweet nila parang kapatid ako sa kanila. Ako ang youngest sa group nila."

(Afterwards my first child died overseas at Drew's house in Ayr because we had an overseas tour and wanted to see his parents. I didn't know I was 2 weeks pregnant. Drew and I wanted to try and have baby. I was able to cope after a week because Drew was there and so were his friends who are like brother's to me. They are so sweet and consider me like their sister. I'm the youngest in their group.)

"Oh hon, you've been through so much. The good thing is buntis ka agad at walang complications." (The good this is you're pregnant again and no complications.) Meera told her with a warm smile.

"Totoo yan yaya. Mahal na mahal ako ang baby to'. Gusto ako lalaki at gusto ni Drew babae parang sakin at gusto mag makaroon ang sibling si Catherine." (That's true maid Meera. I love this baby. I want a boy while Drew wants a girl like me and he wants Catherine to have a sibling.) Bless said with a smile as she put her hand on her stomach.

"Ilang buwan mag aalis si Drew sa biyahe niya?" (How many months will Drew be gone during his travels?) Meera asked the young expectant mother.

Isang sa dalawang buwan. Hindi ko alam ang balik niya. Punta ako dito kasi wala siya sa bahay at takot mag stay kung ako at ang baby lang."

(One to two months. I don't know when he'll be back. I came here because I'm scared being alone with only the baby.) Bless told her as she continued to pat Catherine's back gently.)

"You could stay here as long as you want anak. I don't mind at all just until balik ang boyfriend mo." (You can stay here as long as you want child, I don't mind just until your boyfriend comes back.) Meera let her know Bless could stay as long as she wanted just until her boyfriend got back home safe and sound from the road.

"Thanks Yaya. I don't want to intrude too long. May ibang kaibigan ako dito sa Tampa sa mag stay ako sa girl friends ko kung nandito sila." (Thanks maid. I don't want to intrude too long. I have other friends here in Tampa that I may stay with a few girlfriends if they're around.) Bless appreciated the hospitality being able to stay since she missed being home with Drew when he wasn't around.

A few minutes later while they were talking, Bless' cellphone playing Drew's theme went off on her phone.

She got up from the bed to the dresser to get the phone and smiled when she saw her boyfriend was on the line.

Babydoll: Hey love. Where are you?

BadboyDrew: Hey sweetie. In Memphis airport. We just landed over here and we're having our Smackdown supershow at the arena later tonight. I just called to check up on you and Catty when I got your message as soon as we landed. I hear your staying over at the helper's house for a few nights?

Babydoll: Stay safe over there honey. By the way yeah I might stay here a few nights plus I don't want to be alone in the house without you or the guys. I just don't feel safe and needed the company else where so I hope you don't mind. I might stay with Nattie and Ty or whoever else is around here in Tampa and I know Alex (Riley) is close by in town so I might go see him in a few days if he has off this week on Superstars.

BadboyDrew: I don't mind baby as long as you and Catherine are safe and sound.

Babydoll: I miss you...

BadboyDrew: I miss you already babe and missing our baby and Catherine too. I can't wait till these two months are over in able to see you again. It's going to drive me stir crazy.

Babydoll: I'm counting down the days till we see each other again. It's not the same without you. Tell the guys I miss them and hope to see them when they get home with you.

BadboyDrew: You know it honey. I gotta go get my luggages and meet with the guys out front. Stay safe and I love you and give Catty a hug and kiss for me.

Babydoll: I love you too. Be safe.

After the couple talked, Bless put her phone down and sat on the bed with the baby.

"Si Drew yan noh?"(That was Drew wasn't it?) Meera knew it was Bless' boyfriend checking up on her and the little one.

"Opo Yaya...Miss na miss ko siya talaga.) (Yup maid. I miss him so much.) The young mom told her sighing while looking down at her sleeping daughter.

"Don't worry honey, these two months will fly by quick and by the time you know it, he'll be home." Meeraa let her know with a warm smile as she walked over to Bless and hugged her from behind.

"Gutom ka, I'll cook dinner." (Are you hungry) Meera asked if Bless wanted anything to eat for dinner.

"No thanks Yaya. Pagod nako. I think mag tulog nako. Good night and I love you." (No thanks maid. I'm tired. I think I'm going to head to sleep.) Bless told her that she was tired and needed to sleep.

"Okay. Good night & sweet dreams anak." Meera said with a warm smile kissing Bless' head before kissing Catherine good night as well and let them rest after walking out of the room.
