Abandoned Baby
Chapter 106
The next morning Catherine was the first to get up from her deep slumber as she smiled at her mommy who was still fast asleep. She carefully got out of bed without waking her up and toddled outside of the room to see her Uncle Randy was up playing with Alanna and her Aunty Sam was in the kitchen making breakfast.
"Unca Randy!" Catherine squeaked happily to see him.
"Hey there baby." Randy turned around to see his favorite niece and gave her a big hug.
"Catty, come play with me." Alanna told the little toddler with a smile happy to see her favorite play mate.
"Cat, why don't you play with Alanna while I go help Aunty Sam okay?" The Viper suggested to his niece that she go have fun with her little play mate.
"Otay Unca Randy." The little toddler obeyed her uncle that kissed her on the head before going to join the three year old.
Randy smiled and walked over tto his wife to help her with breakfast.
"Aren't they just adorable?" Randy asked his wife watching the kids play together on the floor.
"Yeah they are. Catherine seems so content now that Alanna is around. She must of really missed her." The brunette agreed with her husband smiling as the girls were playing with the barbie dolls and playing "house" together.
"I can agree with that. Gosh, our niece has grown up and Bless did a great job raising her on her own." The Viper said as he wrapped his arms around his wife as they watched the kids play with each other.
"Yeah she has. Speaking of children, wouldn't it be nice to have another little baby around the house?" The pretty brunette asked her husband that it would be great to have another baby around the house now that Alanna was old enough to have a sibling.
"I think so too. I would love to have another baby with you baby." Randy suggested giving her a peck on the lips.
"Maybe we can talk about it more tonight. Right now you can help me put breakfast on the table while I make some coffee's for us and Bless when she gets up." The former gymnast told her husband.
"Yes maam." He playfully saluted his wife as she playfully slapped his chest.
"You're such a goober." Samantha giggled.
"I'm you're loveable goober." Randy chuckled as he helped his wife.
"Yes you are dear." She agreed as they started setting up the table with her husband's help.
10 minutes later Bless woke up from her deep slumber when she smelled the aroma of food coming from the kitchen and saw Catherine was not at her side knowing she had to have woken up early.
Getting out of bed, she chucked the blankets off of her and walked of the room to see Catherine was indeed awake and she and Alanna were on the floor playing with the Barbie's meanwhile Randy and Sam were up early setting up breakfast on the table.
"Good morning baby. Did you sleep well?" Bless asked greeting her daughter with a kiss and hug.
"I sleep good momma." Catherine smiled at her mommy when she seen her.
"Good. That's what I wanted to hear." Bless told her baby girl as she kissed the top of her head.
"How's baby?" Catherine asked putting a hand to her mom's pregnant stomach.
"Baby's fine honey. He or she must still be sleeping." Her mother said with a smile letting her little girl touch her stomach where her baby brother or sister was.
"Hi Aunty Bless." Alanna greeted her favorite aunty with a smile.
"Hey there little lady. You've grown up to be a big girl." Bless could see the three year old looked so much like her parents.
"I'm a big girl now." Alanna told her that she was grown up.
"You sure are baby girl. I missed you." Bless let her know how much she missed her favorite niece.
"Missed you and Catty too. I'm happy you're both okay." The three year old said missing her Aunt and favorite playmate hugging her.
"I missed you too sugar." the raven haired soon to be mom said softly to her niece kissing her cheek and hugging her.
"Don't leave us again Aunty Bless." The three year old let her know.
"Don't worry baby girl, I'm never leaving you or your parents ever again." Bless promised the little girl.
"Breakfast is ready. Come on babies and Bless." Samantha called them to eat.
Catherine took her mom's hand into her's as Alanna walked to the table chair on her own with Randy sitting beside her and Sammy on his side while on the other side was Catherine and Bless.
"Here's your coffee Bless." Samantha passed Bless her mug.
"I can't have caffeine while pregnant. Do you have juice or water?" Bless told she wasn't allowed to have caffeine while pregnant and asked her friend for something else to drink.
"I got some juice in the fridge. I'll get some for you." The brunette smiled at her friend getting up for the juice in the fridge before returning to the dining room with the carton of juice for her.
"Thanks Sam." The soon to be mom spoke up.
"No problem." The brunette smiled back at the soon to be mom across from her as she grabbed another cup and poured her juice in it.
"How did you sleep lastnight?" the former gymnast asked her friend.
"Like a baby thanks. Thanks for letting Cat and I stay. We really appreciate it." Bless was grateful to have such a nice friend like Samantha that accommodated her and Catherine into their home.
"It's no problem honey. You can stay with Randy and I just as long as you need too just until you're able to be on you're own again." Samantha didn't mind Bless and Catherine staying with them since they were part of her family and she was her friend.
"Sammy's right hon. You're our family and we wouldn't want you to go anywhere else. You and Cat belong with us." Randy coined in his two cents with his wife not wanting his best friend and niece to leave them again.
"I'm sorry for running away like I did. I should've explained everything before what I did." Bless felt bad for leaving on a bad note and left them and everyone to worry.
"Honey, you don't owe us any explanation. You're a big girl and know you needed to get away. On the bright side, you're here now and that's all that matters." The Viper softly told her understanding where she came from and he didn't blame her for leaving. She had a right too even though she did quite worry them but she felt it was best that she did to get her head back on her shoulders and try to mend her heart after what she had been through.
"I just don't know if I want to forgive Drew any time soon yet. If I would see him, it would be too soon and I don't want to put this baby in any danger." Bless sighed while playing absentmindedly with her food feeling a little distracted and thought of her baby and didn't want to miscarry the second time if something went wrong.
"Honey, we would do anything to protect you and your children. You don't have to see Drew if you don't want too. When you're ready to speak with him, I think you should face him when the time is right. Right now you need to focus on yourself, Catherine,and this baby." Samantha added knowing what Bless seemed to be going through and understood her. It would be added stress right now for Bless if something happened to her, Cat, and the baby.
"I feel for Catherine though. She misses her daddy so much. I just don't want her to get hurt after he hurt me by betraying me." The soon to be mom sniffled concerned for her daughter's well being and it was a tough situation right now between them as parents and she hated hurting her daughter as well from not seeing Drew and she didn't want him to hurt their daughter in the long run and she was still a little too young to understand the situation between them.
Randy and Sam looked at each other sadly feeling bad for Bless and Catherine. They were in such a tough predicament right now and wished they knew how to help them after the Scot put them in such a tough and awkward position plus when it involved the kids. It was even tough enough that Bless was still pregnant and didn't have the baby yet and she didn't know what to do.
"Momma, don't cry. I love you." Catherine could see her mommy crying and got off her seat and hugged and kissed her.
"Thank you baby. That makes mommy feel better. I love you too." Bless was grateful to have such a sweet daughter that could read her emotions really well and knew how to cheer her up when she was having her sad moments and it just brightened her up when her daughter hugged and kissed her. Even for a little girl, she acted more like a mature little girl for her age.
"I don't know if I should even talk to PJ and Heath. I'm disappointed in them too that they got so hammered but I feel grateful PJ relayed on his instincts to punch Drew when he did. That I can give him that much credit for but that doesn't give them the excuse to get that hammered to not stop Drew from kissing another girl before it even happened." Bless sighed shaking her head.
"I don't blame you either babe. You have a right to be upset and I think it'll take time for those three to gain your trust again." Randy knew how she felt and wished he could take away her pain. He wished he could've punched Drew's lights out for hurting her and their daughter.
"I hope so too...I don't know about Drew though. I think it's time he and I took a break from each other just until I feel ready to forgive him." The soon to be mom sighed as Catherine sat on her lap eating her breakfast with Bless' help cutting up some big pieces into small pieces.
"Give it some time baby girl. Like I said just focus more on yourself, Catty,and the baby before talking with Drew. I think it's better you two had a break for a while." Randy encouraged her as he stretched his hand to squeeze her's.
"Thanks Randy. Any way let's talk about something else. I just don't want to dwell on what happened anymore and just be happy." Bless wanted to change the subject not wanting to talk about her running away anymore with them and wanted a change of questions.
"How about you, Cat, myself,and Alanna go out shopping and have a girls day out after breakfast just to get your mind off things and just enjoy the day together." Samantha suggested changing the subject of the situation feeling bad for Bless she was already tired of talking about the same subject and hated seeing her so upset.
"That sounds like a good idea." Bless agreed to Samantha's plans.
"Honey, you don't mind do you?" Samantha turned to her hubby.
"I don't mind. I think I'm gonna go hang out with John since he's in town today." Randy didn't mind if his wife hung out with Bless and the babies for the day while he was gonna have his guys day out.
"Randy, please don't tell anybody I'm here especially John. I'm not ready to face anybody yet." Bless pleaded with the Viper to not say anything especially to his best friend. She wanted to keep everything hush hush till she was ready to face everybody.
"Don't worry baby girl. You have my word." Randy promised her he wouldn't say anything and would keep this to himself and Sam.
"Come on beautiful girls. Let's get ready to go out." Samantha and Bless finished their breakfast and decided to go incognito that nobody recognized them while they went around and enjoyed the day.
After the girls got ready, Randy decided to call John and to see if they could hang out just for the day while he was in town visiting.
"Sam, do you think Randy would tell John?" Bless asked as they were in the car on the way to the mall hesitant he might blurb out that she was staying with them.
"Nah. Randy's good to keep a secret. I trust him any way but if he does blab, he sleeps out on the couch for a week." Sam teased as both women giggled at that comment.
"You're so bad Sam." Bless laughed feeling so relaxed.
"I know aren't I?" The brunette giggled turning to the soon to be mom.
"Why would daddy sleep out on the couch mommy?" Alanna asked listening to the women in front converse with each other.
"Nothing honey. I'll explain that to you when you're older." Sam told her daughter with a smile.
"Okay." Alanna understood even though she didn't know what her mom and Aunty Bless were discussing.
During the day while they were shopping, Samantha and Bless took their turns to see what Bless would need the next few months such as maternity clothes now that she wouldn't be able to fit in most of her regular clothes now that she was pregnant and get some toys and took a break afterwards to feed the kids and took them to the toy store just to look around.
"This is the best day I've had so far eversince I came home. Thanks for taking me out Sammy." Bless appreciated what her friend did for her.
"It's no problem honey plus I wanted too. You deserve it." Sam smiled warmly at the soon to be mom as she held a sleepy Alanna in her arms.
"I guess we better get home and get these little girls to bed." Bless giggled as she too held a sleepy little Catherine.
"We sure do. Let's go home." Sam agreed with her as they walked to the car as both mom's strapped in their girls in the car to make their way back to the house.
When they got to the house, they noticed a rental car up on the drive way.
"John's here." Bless noticed a car up at their house.
"Honey, you have to face him either way. Come on, let's get these girls out of the car and go inside." Sam suggested not knowing how to help Bless on this one and sooner she had to face everyone and stop hiding from them.
Bless sighed as she unstrapped her daughter out of the car before Sam locked the doors behind her after getting the bags and Alanna out of the car.
"Honey, we're home!" Sam told Randy as she put Alanna down on the couch to nap.
"In the kitchen sweetie." Randy called to Sam once he heard her voice from the kitchen.
Bless also put Catherine down in her portable playpen before putting some of the stuff down she bought beside the playpen to join her friend who was looking for her husband.
Sam walked in the kitchen and walked to kiss her husband before walking to greet John.
"Hey John. Nice seeing you." Sam greeted her husband's best friend on the cheek and hugged him.
"Hey there Mrs. Orton." John joked calling her by her married name as he hugged her.
"How's my favorite girl?"He asked her.
"Good. Just got home from shopping with a friend." She explained that she went shopping during the day with her friend.
"Oh yeah and who's that special friend?"He questioned her wondering who she went out with.
The door opened and John's mouth just dropped. Standing before him was Bless in a green maternity t-shirt and gray sweats.
"Hi John..."She greeted him.
