Abandoned Baby
Chapter 90
The next day Bless got up from her deep slumber around 10:30AM and checked on her messages to see if Drew had left any texts from her and smiled when she saw she had three texts from him.
8:45AM - BadboyDrew: Hi Love. Just wanted to greet you good morning. I miss you and Cat so much and wished you were here with me. I'm in Memphis today for a signing then have Superstars and Smackdown tapings later on in the day and an autograph signing before the shows. Hope you and Cat are safe and sound. I love you sweetie. Love, Drew
10:00AM – BadboyDrew: Hey baby. Not sure if you're up yet but just wanted to text you again just to let you know I got finished from my autograph session with Stu and Heath and we'll be heading out to lunch soon. PJ already left to go do his own thing so I guess he's already at the arena with Vicky (Alicia Fox) so hopefully we'll catch up later at the show. We'll be leaving in a few for the the arena right after lunch break here at the mall. Talk to you later honey. I love you. Love, Drew
10:20AM – BadboyDrew: Hey sweetie. Missing you and letting you know Stu,Heath,and I made it to the arena safe and sound. I hope to hear from you soon. I know you and Cat must still be asleep so I'm gonna text or call you later once you two get up. I love you sweetheart. Love, Drew
Bless smiled to herself and saw the last text was around 10 minutes go so she hoped to get him on time now that he was still around.
She looked through her ID's and found Drew's name on it and automatically dialed his number.
BadboyDrew: Hello
Babydoll: Hey babe. It's great I got you on time. How's my favorite boyfriend?
BadboyDrew: Hey love. I'm doing just fine. Did you just wake up?
Babydoll: Yeah I just did. Cath is still asleep so I'm pretty much the only one up this morning so I decided to give you a call to see what you were up too.
BadboyDrew: Not much really honey. The guys and I are just warming up for tonight's show pretty much and helping to set up other than that just waiting for tonight's show to start, maybe grab some dinner tonight after the show with the guys, and head back to the hotel for some rest. I'm gonna be rooming with Stu tonight since I'm his room mate.
Babydoll: Sounds like a lot of fun. I miss you and so does Catherine too. I miss you holding me in your arms at night. I miss us making love in bed. It's not the same. I have an appointments I wish you could be at for our baby that you're going to miss out on and there's so much I want to talk to you about.
BadboyDrew: I know baby. I miss you and Cat too. I wish you were here with me on the road. It feels like forever until I get home to you and our daughter and baby. I wish I could be there for your appointments love. I really do and to see your belly grow with our baby in there. I know sweetheart. If you only knew how much I want to be home so badly.
Babydoll: How I wish our baby is born already that way I can still travel with you guys again. These six months feel like forever too. I just want our baby here. I also wished you could have at least some time off somewhere and at least be here before the baby is born and come to a few of the ultrasound appointments and to hear our baby's heartbeat.
BadboyDrew: I'll try my best to have some time off that way we can plan for the baby and everything else. I promise to also be there before the birth of our little one. I love you Bless and don't ever forget that. I have to go baby since the guys need some help. Give Catty a kiss and hug from me.
Babydoll: I love you too babe. I will make sure to do that for you.
BadboyDrew: Baby, please don't cry. Everything's going to be okay. I'll be home when I can okay? I love you...
Babydoll: I love you too...bye...
After the couple talked, Bless wiped some tears from her eyes and sighed as she put the phone down on the table when she heard a knock at the door.
"Come in." Bless said whoever was at the door.
"Hi Ate (big sis). Just wanted to come in and check on you this morning." Carla greeted the young pregnant woman good morning as she came in the room with some hot tea to give her.
"Oh hey Carla. Salamat." (Thanks) Bless appreciated the hot tea from the young woman as she put it on the table.
"Okay ka ba Ate, bakit?" (Are you okay sis, what's wrong?) Carla asked sitting at Bless' side seeing her crying.
"Wala...okay lang ako. Tawag ako kanina sa syota ko...miss na miss ko siya lang." (Nothing...I'm okay. I just called my boyfriend a few minutes ago...I just miss him.)
"I'm sorry to hear that... say now that walang ako klase today (I don't have any classes), why don't you, baby,and I go out. My treat and we could hang out and go shopping just to get your mind off everything."
"Are you sure Carla, Hindi ako gusto mag bother..." (I don't want to be a bother.)
"Okay lang sa akin (It's okay with me) besides I hate to see you cry and want to enjoy yourself. We can have some one on one girl talk over lunch or something if gusto mo yan." (If you want too.)
"Thanks for being so nice to me Carla. Ang sweet mo talaga." (You're just so sweet.) Bless noticed how sweet the teenager was for her age.
"Besides I want too. Plus you remind me of my Ate (older sister) Becky. Parang same age kayo. Miss ko siya kasi studying siya sa abroad. Gusto siya punta dito sa states mag stay dito after tapos ang schooling niya sa UP sa Maynila at gusto trabaho dito after file ng papers niya for teaching kasi gusto niya ang bata so gusto niya 3rd grade teacher sa elementary."
(You're the same age as her. I miss her since she's studying abroad. She wants to come here to the states after her schooling at the University of the Philippines in Manila and after filing her papers for teaching since she loves kids so she wants to be a 3rd grade teacher elementary teacher.)
"Gusto mag tignan ang picture niya?" (Do you want to see a picture of her?) Carla asked Bless.
"Sure." Bless didn't mind at all. Carla took a picture out of her wallet and handed her over to Bless.
"Ang ganda niya. Parang muhka kayo twins." (She's so pretty. You two look like twins.) Bless smiled at the younger woman. They were identical to each other except her older sister had longer dark hair going down to her back as she could see in the picture and Becky and Carla had the same beautiful smile their mother had. Carla though had a little bit of long hair except her's was in a curly ponytail at the moment and was a little shorter than her older sister. Carla was about 5'6 where her sister was about 5'8 that was standing beside her in the picture and they both were wearing the same colored school uniforms that she used to wear when she was back home.
"Identical twin siya sa akin yan plus almost Valedictorian siya sa school. Gusto ko mag follow sa footsteps sa Ate ko. Siya mag raise sa akin ang bata bata kami noon when mom was working then." (She's my identical twin plus she's almost Valedictorian in her school. I want to follow in my older sister's footsteps. She raised me when we were younger.) Carla smiled thinking of her older sister.
"Mabuti yan Carla. (That's great Carla.) Your Ate (older sister) would be so proud." Bless said with a warm smile.
"Thanks." Carla smiled back at the older woman.
"May syota ang older sister mo?" (Does your older sister have a boyfriend yet?) Bless was just curious to ask Carla.
"Wala pa. Gusto niya mag tapos ang aral niya then maybe boyfriend kasi hindi gusto ni mommy kung may boyfriend kami kung hindi tapos ang studies namin. Parang may distraction sila so we'll just have to wait till mag tapos ang studies." (None yet. She wants to finish her studies then maybe get a boyfriend because mom doesn't want us to have a boyfriend if we're not done yet studying. It'll just be a distraction so we'll just have to wait till we finish our studies.)
"Mabuti ganyan. Anong gusto mo ang studies mo mag tapos kayo ang schooling?" (That's great it's like that. What kind of studies do you want to get into after you finish school.)
"Gusto ko...Abagado. Yan ang gusto mag achieve yan tapos ang schooling ko. Gusto ko aral ng law so may proper education ako sa subject yan." (I want to be a lawyer. I want to be able to achieve that when I finish school. I want to have a proper education to be able to study that subject.) Carla told Bless with a warm smile that she wanted to be a lawyer and help other people.
"Magaling (Very good). I hope you make it. Your mom,dad,and sister would be proud." Bless knew it in her heart that the young woman had a great head on her shoulders.
"Actually si Jonathan, Hindi siya totoong Papa ko...step dad ko. Hindi kilala ang real papa ko. Bata pa ako mag split si momma at si papa so momma at ang Ate ko mag raise sa akin. Si Jonathan parang feeling ang ama sa atin after mag meet sila nila ni mama. (Jonathan, he's not my real dad. He's my step dad. I don't know my real dad. I was still little when mom and dad split up and she and my older sister raised me. Jonathan has been much more a real father to me and after he and mom met.) He's been like a real dad to me growing up all these years. I love Jonathan like a real dad would a daughter. Mag meet sila sa mama sa trabaho when siya ang stewardess siya sa aeroplano. Passenger si Jonathan sa plane (My mom and him met at work when she was a stewardess at the airport. Jonathan was a passenger in the plane.) going to Manila for a business trip and it was love at first sight then they got together after getting to know each other and they've been together since."
"Wow...Mabuti mabait si Jonathan sa inyo at ang mama mo." (It's great Jonathan is good to you and your mom.)
"Totoo yan. (That's true) I knew Jonathan would be good for my mom once after mag introduce si momma sa akin at kay Becky and we've been happy eversince. (After mom introduced him to me and Becky) Hindi kailangan ang papa ko after hiwalay siya sa momma ko(I don't need my real dad after he and my mom split up.) and at least Jonathan has been there through most of our ups and downs and he's never left which we're grateful for."
"Parang ang magulang ko...mag split sila when my sister si Evelyn yung bunso namin were younger. Ang momma ko, mag raise satin yan. Mag move kami sa Hong Kong so mag kita siya sa abroad...Evelyn and I split from her when we were older now hindi ko alam saan ang mom ko." (Just like my parents. They split when my younger sister Evelyn and I were younger. My mom, she raised us. We moved to Hong Kong that way she could get better pay abroad. Now I don't know where my mom is.) Bless explained almost the exact story Carla went through.
"Wow...I guess that makes the two of us huh? Carla said after she heard from Bless about her parents splitting up as well.
"Yeah but mabuti may pamilya ka. Completo kayo but wala akong mommy at wala ang bunso namin at walang papa. Ako lang ngayon at ang boyfriend ko at may isang "Road Pamilya" ko. Sila ang closest kaibigan ko." (It's good you have a family. You're all complete but for me I don't have a mom, my sister is gone, and no dad. It's only me and my boyfriend and my other "Road Family" They're my closest friends.) The pregnant woman explained to Carla.
Carla smiled at the young woman as she showed her pictures of her "family" and her boyfriend and pictures of them with Catherine.
"Ang cute ang boyfriend mo... Anong pangalan niya?" (Your boyfriend is so cute. What's his name?) Carla wanted to know that one that was in the picture with her with his arm wrapped around her.
"Andrew or Drew Galloway. Siya ang love of my life at ama sa baby ko." (He's the love of my life and father of my child.)
"Ang tangkad sa inyo." (he's even taller than you.) Carla teased seeing how tall he was in the picture next to her.
"I know right. Meet kami through sa kaibigan si Stephen Farrelly (Sheamus). Ito ang pic si Stephen at ako at ang Kaibigan si Stu Bennett (Wade Barrett). (We met through his best friend Stephen Farrelly.) (This pic is of Stephen, myself, and his other friend Stu.) Bless showed her her best friends who were like brother's to her.
"Awwww... ang maligaya kayong lahat dito." (You all look so happy here.) "Sino to'?" (Who's this?) Carla asked who the redhead making funny faces behind Stu was.
"Si Heath Miller (Heath Slater) yan. Ang best friend ko at ang tabi niya ang best friend si PJ (Justin Gabriel.) (That's my best friend and besides him is his best friend PJ.) "Sila parang ang Kuya's ko. Ang sweet nila talaga. (They're like older brother's to me and they're so sweet.) You'd love them...they'd make you bust out laughing at the most random stuff." Bless giggled showing Carla the pics of most of her friends that she had in her wallet.
"Wrestlers sila?" (Are they wrestlers) Carla asked about them after Bless put away some of her pictures.
"Yup. I love them as my own family. Plus I work for them as parang ang PA nila at ibang odd jobs mag trabaho. Mag file ang maternity leave kasi buntis ako ngayon. Hindi gusto ibang gawa ang sama sa baby ko kasi ang first baby patay siya sa miscarriage." (Plus I work for them as a Personal Assistant doing odd jobs at work. I filed a maternity leave since I'm pregnant. I don't want to do anything to harm the baby after the first miscarriage with the first baby.)
"I'm sorry to hear that Ate." Carla felt bad when she heard that.
"Wala yan Carla. (Don't worry about it Carla.) okay now plus now I'm happy with this baby and can't wait to bring him or her into this world." Bless was happy now that her and Drew's baby was almost at full term.
After the girls had a one on one chat, they went downstairs for lunch after Catherine was awake with Meera and her husband then Carla brought Bless and Catherine with her to the mall and the two got to know each other more while they shopped.
