Abandoned Baby
Chapter 122
The next day Drew woke up before Bless. He watched her sleep as she was snuggled close to his chest and he had an arm wrapped around her and stroking her hair with his other hand. To him, she looked so much like an angel and she looked very peaceful in her sleep.
Drew carefully laid Bless on her pillow as he got out of bed as he tucked her in the warm confines of the blankets as while he bent over to kiss her.
Afterwards he went to check on their baby daughter Catherine to see her fast asleep in her playpen. Her little pigtailed hair was spread over her pillow that she slept on and she looked like a sweet little cherub in her sleep while sucking on her pacifier.
Getting out of bed, he decided to call Stu (Wade) since he wanted to surprise Bless by getting her an engagement ring. Eversince he lost her, he knew he didn't want to lose her plus it was the right time to propose. He know they didn't want to get married and still loved each other but after losing Bless, he was tempted to get back with her and make her his forever.
He knew they were destined to be together forever.
The handsome Scot pulled out his phone out of his pocket and decided to give his best friend a call to see if he any plans or not.
WadeBarrett1: Ello...
BadBoyDrew: Hey bud. It's Drew. Listen, are you busy today by any chance?
WadeBarrett1: Actually not really plus the guys are still pretty much asleep so I'm the only one up this morning going over some paper work and such. Is something wrong?
BadBoyDrew: No, nothing like that lad. I was wondering if you can do me a favor and pick me up and go to the jewelry store?
At the sound of jewelry store, Wade perked up and raised an eyebrow though Drew couldn't see it. He became quite intrigued what his best friend had in mind.
BadBoyDrew: I know what you're going to say Shtu and I can read your mind. Don't forget I'm the little brother but I know you too well and you're wondering if I'm going to pop the question to Bless?
WadeBarrett1: Well it's about time little bro. What made you want to propose this time, I thought you didn't like the idea of marriage and just being happy with Bless plus you two just got back together. Isn't it a little rushed?
BadBoyDrew: Actually it's just been on my mind lately and now I realize I almost lost her, I just want to be able to be with her forever. I don't want to lose her man. My world isn't the same without her and I want to make her mine forever.
WadeBarrett1: I hope you know what you're doing buddy. I don't want to see my best friend hurt if you intend to hurt her again plus I don't want you hurting my future niece and or baby niece or nephew that she's carrying.
BadBoyDrew: I actually learned my lesson this time and not letting them both go. They're both my world and without them I wouldn't know what to do. Speaking of the baby, Bless and I decided to find out the sex of our baby and it turns out we're having a son.
WadeBarrett1: Congrats man. I'm happy for you both. I'm sure Catherine will love being a big sister soon and having a baby brother around. How are my two favorite girls by the way?
BadBoyDrew: They're still asleep upstairs actually. I decided to come down in the den that way Bless doesn't over hear us talking if she wakes up and that's why I decided to call you to ask you a favor if you can come pick me up to take me to the jewelry store to get Bless the ring?
WadeBarrett1: Sure I can. I'm not really busy plus Heath and PJ don't get up till noon or later so I'll see you in about 25 minutes tops after I get a shower and get myself ready.
BadBoyDrew: Alrighty. Sounds good then. I'm gonna get ready too and hope to see you soon.
After the guys talked, The Ayr man put his phone away in his pocket and got ready before his best friend went to go pick him up.
Once Drew finished showering, He came out of the room dressed in a black polo shirt and jeans on with drying his long locks.
A few minutes later Drew heard Bless stir from her sleep and smiled a sleepy smile at him.
"Hey babe. Where are you going?" She asked.
"Hey baby. You're up. I'm just going out to run a few errands so I should be back in a few hours. Shtu is gonna pick me up so I'm gonna get a ride with him but don't worry I'll bring you something good when I get back." Drew turned to his sleepy girlfriend explaining where he was going and reassured he would be back soon.
"Okay. What time is it though honey?"
9:15AM. You could sleep in more if you want baby. I'll be back soon and when I get back, I'll come cuddle with you."
"Is that a promise?"
"You gotcha doll. Get some more rest that way you and the baby are good and healthy. Don't worry Cat is still asleep so you don't have to worry about getting up yet."
"I'll miss you." She playfully pouted whining she would miss him while he was out.
"I'll miss you too. I promise to be back in a few hours though. Get some more sleep beautiful."
"Okay." She nodded listening to him.
Drew leaned over and pecked her lips as she whined against the kiss not wanting him to leave.
"Promise after I come back, we'll spend more time together. Go back to sleep."
She went to lay back down in bed and went to sleep as soon as her head hit the pillow as the Scot chuckled as he watched her pull the covers over her to get a few more hours of sleep.
Drew finished combing his hair and put it in a ponytail as he heard the car horn outside knowing the Brit was waiting for him out in the driveway.
The Ayr native put on his socks and sneakers before grabbing the house key placing it in his jean pocket as he smiled seeing his best friend before getting in the car.
"Hey. You ready to go?" The Preston man asked the the Scot while pulling out of the driveway.
"Yup ready as you are." Drew reassured while buckling up as they made small conversation along the way.
When they got to the store, they decided to go in and look around to look at the rings.
"Did you find a good ring you like bud?" Stu asked his best friend as he too was looking at the different ring in the cases.
"Not yet but when I see the perfect one, I'll let you know." Drew chuckled clapping his hand over his friends shoulder looking around just to see what he liked.
Drew smiled and found what he liked. It was a beautiful infinity ring with diamonds surrounding the ring and half of the band and it just screamed out for it to be picked plus it was perfect for Bless. She would love it.
"I got it." The Scot chose showing the one he wanted to pick out showing the Smackdown wrestler.
"What do you think?"
"It's lovely and it looks like it's for Bless."
"You think it's not too much?"
"Nah...It's the thought that counts bud. It's definitely made fit for Bless. She'll love it."
"I love it too. I think I'm picking this one." He chose what he liked and he would request for the ring to be customized with their initials engraved with hearts on each side of their names inside the band.
After purchasing the ring and getting it customized the way he wanted it, Drew smiled and hid the ring in his pocket with the blue velvet box that held the ring inside.
"Shtu, do you think we could stop by a flower store, I want to get Bless some flowers." Drew turned to his best friend and requested.
"Yeah sure." The Brit smiled knowing his best friend was spoiling his girlfriend today and boy was Bless going to get the best surprise of her life. The Smackdown wrestler could see how much he loved that girl and he was being the mature adult to admit his mistake and make things right.
Once they arrived to the store, they got out and saw a small flower store which was decorated with all sorts of varieties of flowers and roses.
"What are you planning to get your girl?" Stu was curious to ask his best friend.
"You'll see." Drew smirked knowing what Bless really liked as he walked over to the roses section while the Preston man tailed behind his best friend to see what his buddy was picking out for his girlfriend.
"Ah' gentleman, may I help you?" A dark haired older lady asked as she saw the two men in the store looking at a bunch of flowers and roses.
"Um...Yes. I'm just here to pick up a dozen roses for my girlfriend actually." Drew turned around when he spotted the florist with a warm smile as he was just looking at the roses that surrounded him.
"Ah' you've picked the right spot then. Are you looking for any roses in particular?" The older woman inquired.
"Actually I think I've picked it out already and I think this is the one I really like for her." He showed her the beautiful bouquet of red and white roses in a bundle that he would love to get for Bless.
"That's a beautiful choice. She'll love them."
After making small talk with the florist and getting the roses, he thanked her as he and Stu made their way out of the store with the roses he bought.
"She's going to love those roses. Bless is a lucky girl." Stu thought as he turned to his best friend smiling as he watched Drew sniff the fragrant of the roses he picked out especially for her.
"And I'm going to make sure to treat her right this time. I don't want to ruin anything anymore between us." Drew mentioned with a smile thinking of his pregnant girlfriend.
"Make sure you do and if you don't remember I'm going after you." His best friend warned him just to make sure Drew didn't hurt her and that beautiful baby or it would be his head.
"Got it." Drew swore he promised he would never hurt his girlfriends heart again.
The guys talked and reconciled with each other as they were in the car and glad they could work their friendship out with each other. They were like brothers again.
"Well...this is my stop. Thanks for taking the time out and accompanying me." Drew looked outside and saw the house from the window as they approached the apartment condo.
"It's no problem Andrew. Just remember what I told you okay. Good luck and knock'em dead." The British wrestler smiled at his best friend patting his shoulder.
"You got it." His best friend nodded leaving the car waving as Stu left the driveway as Drew waved as he watched his friend drive up to his house which was just meters away from their house.
Drew made his way inside the house holding the dozen roses he got Bless as he walked into the dining room to find a vase to put the flowers in.
He walked into the kitchen to fill the vase with water before he sat down to take the dedication card he had in his pocket and sat on one of the chairs to write down how he felt for Bless after putting the vase on the table.
Once he was finished, he smiled at his work and taped the card to the vase and decided to make her some lunch which was home made Chicken soup, Grilled ham and cheese sandwich, varieties of mixed fruits in a bowl, and orange juice.
The Scot made his way upstairs with the tray of food and placed it on the table as he walked in the room to see his girlfriend was still fast asleep snuggled into the warm blankets.
Drew chuckled softly and decided to crawl into bed to kiss his girlfriend on the cheek to wake her.
"Mmmmmmm..." Bless mumbled sleepily when she felt a sweet touch to her cheek.
"Lass, wake up and eat." Drew sat on the bed and rubbed her arm to wake her up to eat.
Bless soon woke up when she seen her boyfriend as she turned to meet with his green eyes.
"Hey babe. You're home."
"Of course I'm home baby. I'm here now. I made lunch if you're hunry."
"Awww babe. You're so sweet."
"I also have a surprise for you." He let her know.
"Oh yeah what?"
"After you eat you get your surprise so eat up."
"Okay." She agreed as he put the tray in front of her as she smiled.
"Oh sweetie, you did all this?"
"Of course I did love. This is all for you because I love you."
Bless thought it was sweet Drew was doing so many things just for her and she really enjoyed how he was treating her with love and respect which she loved about him. He was just so loving and caring.
"Mmmm...this is so good. Who knew you were such a good cook?"
"I try." The Scot chuckled happy that she loved the food he made her.
"So how was your day with Stu?"
"It was good for a change and glad I got to hang out with my best friend. Pretty much we talked things over and reconciled."
"Good to hear you boys made up. I don't want to see you guys fighting but it's better to get along with one another."
"You're right. I wouldn't trade my best friend for anyone else."
"How's our baby?" He asked while rubbing her stomach.
"Good. Probably is still asleep in there. Alex isn't really active much during the day but is more active kicking at night so I guess our son is a night owl." Bless giggled while rubbing her pregnant stomach.
"I guess our son will either be a soccer player or a wrestler like me huh?"
"Probably."
"I just can't wait to have him out of me soon and hold him."
"I can't wait either. You're going to be a great mommy."
"I'm sure you're going to be a great daddy too since you're really great with Catherine as well."
"She's daddy's little girl. She has me wrapped around her little finger."
"Yeah she does. She loves you though."
"I love her too. I can't believe how fast she's grown up."
"Neither can I. I remember when she was a little baby and now she's a full grown toddler." Bless admired their sleeping daughter from afar and watched her sleeping.
"Yeah she is. You raised her really well. I'm sorry I couldn't be there for the few months that I missed her growing up. I really regret letting you two go."
"Drew, let's just leave the past behind and look towards the future. We have a LONG time with our children and each other now that we're rebuilding our family again." Bless told him that he shouldn't have to remember what he did as long as they were reuniting their family as one again.
"You're right. It's just that I don't want to lose you again baby and I don't want to lose our children. You three are the world to me and I regret every single moment that I was drunk and kissed that woman knowing I hurt you and our kids and caused you three to leave. I regret what I did each day. I feel so lucky to have you in my life right now and you're giving me another chance."
"Drew, you won't lose me ever. We're in this together now and we're here now. I too regret just up and leaving with the kids and not telling you where I went. I was mad and upset you broke my heart and everything we had felt like it was falling apart. Then I realized I had to wake up and get back together because I didn't want to hurt Catherine anymore and I don't want her to witness us fighting or splitting up. They're the reason you and I are so close right now. I missed you too and realized I was hurting you too when I left. I should've been more considerate plus I left everyone in the dark too when I left. I'm glad we could be back together and be more civilized to see where our relationship lays. Maybe our relationship is just testing us to see if we could be a strong family and still survive."
"We will. I promise I'm never leaving you again. I don't want a repeat of what happened to us. I want our family to be back together and for the sake of our children."
"Neither would I and I agree with you. Our children need us and I need you." She reached out for his hand and squeezed it.
After the couple talked about a few more things and Bless finished eating, Drew couldn't wait to show her the surprise he had for her downstairs in the kitchen.
"Close your eyes babe and don't open them till I tell you." Drew instructed her as they walked to the kitchen together telling her to close her eyes as he was going to get the flowers he bought her.
"Okay. I trust you." She giggled wondering what her surprise was.
The Scot carefully placed the vase in her hands clasping it firmly.
"What is this?" Bless felt the cold glass in her hands that Drew handed her.
"Open your eyes babe."
She carefully opened her eyes and gasped when she saw the roses.
"Oh honey, this is for me?"
"Surprise!" He chuckled when she seen the beautiful roses he got her.
"This is my surprise to you. This is why Shtu and I were out earlier. I decided to get you a little something to show how much I love you and would do anything for you."
Bless became teary eyed as she sniffed the beautiful roses Drew got her. She thought it was sweet and thoughtful.
"These are wonderful. You know my favorite roses." She giggled knowing he knew her favorite roses which were red and white for love and purity.
"Of course I do love. I hope you love them."
"I love them so much...You mean so to me Drew."
"Read the card. It's on the vase." He told her there was a card included as she smiled getting the card from the vase and read it out loud.
To the love of my life,
I love you with all my heart and soul. I promise to never hurt you ever again. These roses are a sign of my love and devotion to you. You mean everything to me Bless. I promise to always love you and take care of you. You are my world and my everything.
Love,
Drew
"I...I don't know what to say but I...I love you Andrew Galloway, so so much." Bless sniffled as she put the flowers and card down on the table as Drew cupped her face and kissed her sweetly.
Drew was overwhelmed with joy when he heard his girlfriend loved him again and laughed into the kiss that they shared. It was like their love was never broken and their feelings were being mended again.
"Did you say I love you?" The Scot mumbled in between his girlfriends lips hoping he heard right.
"Mmmmhmmm...I love you and never did stop." She reassured him with a sweet smile as he leaned in to kiss her again passionately.
"I love you too." Her Ayr lover told her softly in between her lips as he leaned his forehead against her's as they relaxed against each other.
Bless giggled roaming her hands around Drew's waist to try and get the belt buckle off him when she felt her hand slide down when she felt something hard against his right hip.
"Babe, do you have something in your pocket?" She giggled teasingly.
"Maybe I do, maybe I don't." He laughed sweetly teasing her about the ring he had hidden in his pocket.
"What is it, do I have another surprise?"
"Do you want to really know what I have?" He smirked that infamous smirk she knew well enough in the ring.
"Mmhmmm...Either you're being a tease or that is something special for me that you're hiding."
"Bless, there's something I have to tell you before I show you your surprise."
"What is it?"
Drew clasped her small hand into his large one.
"Bless, you know that I love you so much. There's not a moment I don't stop and think of you. You're my everything and my world. I wouldn't know what to do without you and without you I'm nothing. I feel so fortunate to have you in my life and promise to always be here for you. You've been my rock through these ups and downs and I'll be the same for you always. Any ways long story short Bless, I don't want to ramble on any longer baby. There's something I want to ask you."
Bless sniffled and giggled through her tears listening to the love of her life pour his heart out to her. She too loved him as much as he loved her and wanted to spend the rest of her life with him.
She then watched as he pulled something out of his pocket and became shocked noticing the familiar box that he held.
"Bless, I know we haven't talked at all about marriage but baby I want to be able to spend the rest of my life with you." Drew kneeled down and opened the box in front of her to reveal a beautiful infinity ring with sparkling diamonds surrounding the infinity ring.
"Baby, will you marry me?" Drew asked.
