Abandoned Baby
Chapter 119
A week later Bless was accompanied by Drew to the doctor's office back in Tampa since her doctor was there and she had nowhere else to go and that was closest to home.
"Hello Bless, are you doing today?" Dr. Davidson asked her.
"I'm doing okay doctor. I just came in today for an appointment to check on how the baby is doing and want to know the sex of the baby."
"Okay, why don't you get up on the bed and we'll get the procedures started."
Bless did what she was told as the assistant nurse came in to help the doctor.
Drew stayed by her side and held her hand the whole time as she smiled a little feeling a little calm at his sweet touch.
"Bless, I see you have a little high blood pressure. Are you under any stress?" Dr. Davidson asked as he was checking on her vital signs.
"Just a little bit eversince I left four months ago since my boyfriend and I were having some problems as of late. I will be okay right?" Bless was nervous as she bit her bottom lip asking her doctor if she and the baby were okay.
"You will both be okay but for the next few months I need you on bed rest just as a precautionary just until you have the baby."
"Okay. I understand."Bless nodded listening to her doctor's instructions.
Drew felt regret in his heart that his girlfriend and baby could both be in danger after what he heard from Bless' doctor if she wasn't taken cared of and needed to be looked over the next few months. He grabbed Bless' hand and squeezed it as Bless sniffled a little hoping she and their unborn baby would be okay.
After checking the baby's heartbeat, Dr. Davidson also explained he heard a healthy heartbeat so the baby should be fine til she got more rest.
"Do you think my boyfriend and I could find out the sex of the baby?"
"Sure you may." He nodded as the assistant nurse started up the machine and put gel on Bless' stomach as the doctor got the wand from her pressing it on Bless' stomach.
The doctor looked around till he spotted the source of the unborn infant.
"There's your baby. And it's a healthy little bouncing baby boy." He announced to them as Bless happily teared up looking at her baby on the 4D ultrasound monitor. Her and Drew's baby was beautiful and almost looked like Drew as she was able to see the baby's face upclose.
"Honey, a boy." Drew chuckled kissing her forehead.
"We have a healthy little boy." She agreed as she held his hand not wanting to let go.
The more they saw their son they both fell in love with the baby especially Drew.
"I love you and so proud of you angel." Drew softly whispered to his girlfriend while holding her hand.
"Drew, are we still okay with the name Alexander Andrew?" Bless asked sniffling with a little smile.
"I'm more than okay with it." He smiled kissing her forehead.
After Bless' appointment, Drew now knew he needed to take more care of his girlfriend and their son making sure she wasn't stressed out and needed rest. He also needed to tell Vince he needed time off to help take care of his family so he hoped he could write him off as an "injury" for the next few months just until Bless had the baby.
"Lass, do you want anything to eat before we head home or do you just want to eat at home?" Drew asked as he backed out of the building parkinglot.
"We could just have lunch at home if that's what you want to do. I don't really mind." She didn't mind as long as they were home and wanted to still work things out with Drew.
"I think you and Cat should stay with me at our old house that way you two don't have to travel far today and we have more room at the house." Drew suggested that Bless and Cat could stay at their former house.
"What about my stuff, I didn't bring anything with me and they're at my new apartment in my place." Bless didn't know what to do since she didn't have anything at all at their house.
"Eversince I moved out of our house, most of my stuff is there."
"You could borrow one of my shirts for the night till we travel out the next morning if you still want to get your stuff."
"Thanks Drew. How are you going to look after me and Cat if you're going to be on the road?"She asked softly looking at him.
"I'm going to call Vince and ask if I could have some time off to help take care of you and Cat. I want to be home more with you plus I still want to work things out with you." He suggested his idea with her.
"Are you sure you want to stay, I might drive you crazy the next few months while I'm on bed rest."
"I don't mind baby as long as I get to help take care of you and Cat I'm sure things will work out plus I get to spend more time with Cat. I missed so much out on her life that she needs her dad too."
"It's going to be weird being home but I'm glad I get to stay with you at home just until I get back in the groove of things."
"Don't worry baby. Things will eventually work out and we'll work out more of our relationship just until we figure out where we stand." Drew grabbed her left hand and squeezed it lightly.
"Thanks for being supportive Drew. This is what I like about us being together that we can be civilized with each other and for the kids sake. I don't want to put our children in this kind of awkward situation with us fighting."
"You're welcome lass and you know I'll be here for you, our daughter especially, and now our son and I don't want to put you and our unborn son in any danger with your high blood pressure. I promise to take care of you more."
The more they talked, the more they felt like a couple again and they enjoyed each others company.
"Honey, why don't you hang tight while I get Cat's at Shtu's apartment?"Drew asked Bless to stay in the car while he got Catherine.
"Okay." She nodded waiting for him.
After Drew got Catherine's from his best friends house, he drove Bless and Catherine back to the house and took care of them while they were home.
"Drew, do you think I could borrow some boxers or sweatpants and a t-shirt since all my stuff is back at my apartment?" Bless asked if she could change into something more comfortable.
"Sure love, no problem." Drew walked over to the dresser to see if he could find some sweatpants while he found a t-shirt and threw it towards her.
"Thanks." She smiled softly. He then tossed her some sweatpants that she could just tie to fit her.
"You could change in the bathroom while I go feed our daughter first and if you want I could make you some hot chicken soup while you rest up."
She nodded her thanks and made her way to the bathroom to change out of her street clothes into some comfy house clothes.
She giggled to herself that she was still able to fit into Drew's t-shirt and fit into his sweatpants which she just tied the strings together to make it just the right size for her. To her it just felt right. After changing, Bless got into bed and picked up the remote to see what was on tv when she heard Drew come back up with a sippy cup for Catherine with juice since she was just thirsty.
"There you go munchkin. Why don't you sit here with mommy while I make her some food okay." He suggested as she smiled around her sippy cup snuggling against her mom.
Bless smiled and kissed her daughter taking her from Drew letting her rest against her arms letting her snuggle close plus Catherine felt comfortable whenever her mom was around than being alone.
"I got her from here thanks." Bless reassured him she would watch their daughter while the Scot started making lunch for her to eat.
Once Drew got done with lunch, he brought up the food in a tray.
"Is Catty asleep?"He asked softly to his girlfriend looking at Catherine.
"Yeah I think she's tuckered out. Can you get her and put her in the playpen?"She asked him passing the baby carefully to him.
"I got her love."He smiled as he got the little toddler from her and placed their daughter carefully in the playpen surrounding her with pillows that way she was comfy then placed "Cubby" next to her.
As soon as their daughter was put down for her afternoon nap, Drew called Vince to let him know what was going on and why he needed some time off for a few months which Vince okayed the time off for the Chosen One with before he got on the bed and took care of his girlfriend for the rest of the day.
