Abandoned Baby
Chapter 133
During that afternoon Drew and Bless were calling family and friends while the kids were napping. Bless started writing down the names of her closest diva friends to be her bridesmaids while Drew was working on who would be his best men at the wedding.
"Hey babe. Got any names down who you want for your bridesmaids?" Drew asked his fiance.
"Victoria Crawford (Alicia Fox), Beth Phoenix, and Nattie." Bless told him who she chose for her bridesmaids. She already had Carla down for her maid of honor.
"Good choices baby." Drew coined in his two cents.
"What about your best men honey, did you find any of your guys?" Bless wanted to know what his thoughts were.
"Shtu (Wade), Stephen (Sheamus), and Alberto Rodriguez (Alberto Del Rio)." Drew gave his thoughts to whom he chose for his best men at the wedding.
"You three must be really close." Bless thought as she heard whom Drew picked for his best men.
"We are pretty close and now Alberto is my new best friend plus I was his best man when he got married to Christina."
"That must have been a great moment." Bless said as she was writing down some notes on her notepad while she was listening to Drew.
"Have you decided who you want to walk you down the aisle during our wedding?" The Scot was curious to know if Bless had picked any of the guys to walk her down.
"Not yet. I haven't really decided but if Randy's okay with it I may ask him." Bless shrugged as she started doodling on her notepad distractedly hoping the Viper would be fine with it.
"Flower girl?" Drew wanted to know.
"Maybe Catherine if she wants too?" Bless thought.
"Sounds like a great idea love." Drew agreed to that.
"What about a ring bearer?" Bless suggested who they should pick.
"We can ask Alberto if his son would like to be a ring bearer for the wedding we we could ask Lee if he and Noelle could come down for the wedding."
"Hmmmm...that sounds great."
"We also need to work on invitations to invite the rest of our family and friends, the rings, my dress, your tux, the dress for Catherine, and anything else we can come up with, reception area after the wedding unless we can have a tent up in the backyard for the party."
"We have a lot of work to do then babe." Drew knew they had tons of work to do before the big day and get everyone involved.
"You're right. Let's get cracking on the phone calls first to see what's going on."
Drew and Bless decided to start on Noelle and Lee hoping they'd get an answer from his mom and dad first.
The Scot grabbed his address book and looked for the number for his parents house and smiled when he saw the circle around their names just that way he could see it clearly since he had a lot of names squeezed in in his book.
Theresa: Hello
BadBoyDrew: Hey mom. How are you dad? I'm sorry to call in so late but I need to ask you, dad, Noelle, and Lee a question if it's okay I talk to you all if Noee and Lee are still around?
Theresa: Actually we're doing good son. Don't worry about it swee'ie...Noelle just went to bed a few hours ago since she has an exam since she's been studying the past few days with her exam coming up this week and she's anticipating it getting closer. Your dad went up to bed too so I'm the only one up this mornin' until they all get up later.
BadBoyDrew: Oh...I see.
Theresa: Hon, what's the matter? Is something bothering you?
BadBoyDrew: Nothing mom...I'm fine. I was just going to say Bless and I got back together.
Theresa: Oh wow...that seems sudden. I thought she was gone? When did this all happen?
BadBoyDrew: Just a few weeks ago. Bless and I got back together after her disappearance. She was hiding out in Randy and Sam's house. Her and I decided to talk things through and we suggested we got back together for the sake of the kids. They both need us mom. Bless just had Alexander and he's so beautiful. Mom, when I held him, I knew at that moment I loved him so much. It made me wake up and realize not only does he need me so does Catherine and Bless. I think this is finally my wake up call to realize I might of lost them if it weren't for Alex. He's so perfect if you look at him. I don't want to lose my son and my family. I messed up big time and realized I almost lost them.
Theresa: Son, thankfully you realize that now. Good thing Bless is a very patient girl and she gave you a second chance. I don't want you to hurt my future daughter-in-law anymore honey and including my grand kids. I want pictures that you and Bless have of Alexander. I'm sure he is beautiful like you. Just promise me that you won't hurt them. They've been through enough heartache and they don't need it.
BadBoyDrew: I do realize that mom. I promise to keep my word and I told Bless I'll make it up to her and the kids and to be the best father I could be to them. I love them with all my heart and soul. I hate to see Bless cry and I feel guilty I was that reason and I still regret it everyday though Bless forgives me which I'm thankful for. I'm just happy to have them back in my life. I'm trying to give them my 100% just to make them happy and make sure they're taken cared of.
Any way I also wanted to say that...
Theresa: What is it sweetheart?
BadBoyDrew: Mom, how would you feel if I said Bless and I are engaged and planning to get married?
Theresa: Are you serious? That's FANTASTIC swee'ie... when is the big day?
BadBoyDrew: Two weeks from now on May 16th.
Theresa: Dearie, isn't that a little rushed, I mean you two just got back together and now you two are planning to get married in two weeks. Are you sure you're making the right decision?
BadBoyDrew: Ma, I know it seems a little rushed but after I lost Bless I decided to pop the question to her because I don't want to lose her. She's the love of my life. I love her so much...I wouldn't know what to do without her. I know I said I wasn't into getting married but after losing her my whole world fell apart. I know you, dad, Noelle, and Lee have to be disappointed in what I did and I regret that but after Bless decided to come back into my life I wanted to ask her because she's a part of me. I love her and our kids very much. They need me mom. Her and I decided to have a civil wedding in two weeks here in Tampa and wanted to know if you, dad, Noelle, and Lee could come down for vacation just for that.
Theresa: Um...I don't know swee'ie. We'll have to wait and see plus with Noelle in school, I don't know what her plans are including with Lee working at the hospital and have to talk to your father about it. Just in case we can't make it, just remember I love you two so much and will do anything to support you both. Also give hugs and kisses to Catherine and Alexander for us and give Bless my love. Just please don't do anything stupid anymore honey. I don't want to see her get hurt and neither the children. Remember they need you as you told me. They don't deserve the heartache.
BadBoyDrew: Thanks mom for being so loving and understanding. I understand if you and the family might not be able to make it so I guess we'll have to try some other people to be our candle sponsors and we need a ring bearer also for the wedding so Bless and I thought of asking if anyone was still around. Thank you for giving your blessing mom for letting me get married to Bless. I promise to never hurt her and the children. You're right they don't deserve the heartache and grief I put them through and they're the one's keeping me in line. I plan on taking Bless on the road along with the kids if she has the green light for the okay.
Theresa: I'm glad to hear that son. Just follow your heart son. I'm happy for you and Bless. Give her a kiss and hug for me and tell her I love her including Catherine and Alex.
BadBoyDrew: Will do mom. I love you.
Theresa: I love you too son.
After Drew talked with his mom, Drew sighed heavily and had tears in his eyes to wipe them away.
"Hey, you okay?" Bless asked reaching out to stroke his cheek.
"Um...yeah. I'm alright babe. Don't worry about me." Drew half smiled reassuring his future bride he was fine as she held him in her arms.
"Everything's going to be okay sweetie. We're going to make our relationship and our marriage work." She whispered softly to him kissing the top of his head as she held him in her arms.
"I hope you're right babe. I just want to see you happy." Drew sighed resting his head against her shoulder.
"Drew, I am happy with you and our children. You just made a mistake and it's over now. You're here now which I'm happy that you are. We're going to make the best of what we have and be a happy family."
"So you're mom is okay with us getting married?" She wanted to know.
"I think so...even though it's a little rushed we could make this work with our team work. I just want to be able to marry you and make you my wife." Drew affectionately told her.
"I love the sound of that." Bless giggled agreeing about being called his wife.
"I do too. I love you soon to be Mrs. Bless Galloway." Drew smiled as he leaned in to kiss her softly.
"I love you my future husband." She mumbled against his lips as she dropped the notepad and cupped his chin and pulled him closer to make the kiss deeper.
"As much as I loved that kiss... we could finish what we started later... Right now I think we still need to call the guys." Drew breathed hard in between their kiss telling Bless they could make love later after planning the rest of their wedding.
"You're...right...promise?" She asked giving his lips a peck.
"Mmmmhmmm...you're mine later. Right now we need some work to do and try to arrange everything." Drew hinted smiling at his future bride.
"Do you want to call Stu and the guys first?" Bless asked as she sat on Drew's lap as she picked up her notepad that fell beside her.
"That sounds like a good idea lass." Drew thought that he would call his bestfriend and the guys to see what they wanted to do at the wedding.
The bad boy Scot grabbed his phone and dialed his best friends phone number he realized by heart and hoped the Brit picked up.
WadeBarrett1: 'ello.
BadBoyDrew: Hey mate. How are you and the guys?
WadeBarrett1: Hey man. We're doing good. Just sittin' around at home watching the Rugby game on my iPad. Heath and PJ (Justin) are downstairs in the game room with Rycklon (Zeke) with Brian (Road Dogg) playing a game of pool. So what's up with you and the Mrs?
BadBoyDrew: Actually Bless and I have some news for you guys. Do you think you can round up the gang. I need to talk to all of you to ask you guys a question.
WadeBarrett1: Alright then. Hang on for a few. I'll get the gang up here.
Bless smiled at Drew from where she sat on his lap as he held up the phone up to his ear as she kissed him softly as he was playfully running his left hand up and down her thigh making her giggle.
"You're so bad." She laughed after the kiss seeing the naughty twinkle in his green eyes.
"I'm bad. Speak for yourself little missy. Now behave yourself." The Ayr man teased her playfully smacking her behind as she softly yelped loved being teased by her man.
"Yes honey." She giggled softly.
"Good girl." He smiled just loving spending time with his future wife.
A few minutes later a rustling sound was heard over Drew's ear as someone was picking up the phone.
WadeBarrett1: Alright lad. Now that I have the boys here. What do you need us for?
BadBoyDrew: Alright man. Do you remember when I popped the question to Bless and asked her hand in marriage?
WadeBarrett1: She said yes right? Please tell me she said yes.
BadBoyDrew: Yes she did say yes lad. We're actually waiting to plan the wedding but...Bless and I have been thinking of having a civil wedding here in Tampa in two weeks...
WadeBarrett1: Two weeks? Am I hearing right Drew? Isn't that a little too fast man. I mean you two just got back together...
BadBoyDrew: You just sound like mom man...I know it seems a little rushed but I love Bless. I've been thinking about it and it's just been on my mind and I want to make her my wife officially. We're also planning a church wedding maybe in a year or two. We're just wondering if you guys want to participate in the civil wedding here in Tampa if any of you want to be a candle sponsors and my best men at the wedding.
WadeBarrett1: I hope you know what you're doing man and doing the right thing. I just don't want to see you hurting our best friend and our niece.
BadBoyDrew: I've learned my lesson Shtu and just to let you guys know we had a son. His name is Alexander Andrew. He's perfect. Ste came down to the hospital after the little one was born. Gosh Shtu, you and the guys would just love him if you saw how tiny he is. Bless is a wonderful mother to our son. I love him so much too. When I held him, I fell in love immediately. I wouldn't give this up for anything else.
WadeBarrett1: You've really grown up man. Our little Andrew is grown up before our very eyes. I happen to think it's great you and Bless want to get married. I'm happy for you guys and sure I'd love to be your best man since after all you are my best friend and known each other since forever.
BadBoyDrew: Thanks man. I really appreciate it. All we need are candle sponsors for the wedding so I hope you have the phone on speaker that way I can speak to PJ and Heath.
WadeBarrett1: Alright hold on. Let me put the phone on speaker that way you and Bless can talk to them.
BadBoyDrew: Hey guys. Hey boys...
WadeBarrett1: Hey Drew. Hey baba...How's our favorite girl and our little rugrats?
Bless giggled hearing the Virginia native and South African man's voice over the phone.
BadBoyDrew: They're doing good and I'm doing good thanks for asking you two. Drew and I have a question for you guys and wanted to get your answer whether yes or no to be candle sponsors for our civil wedding.
WadeBarrett1: Baaba (baby), are you sure you're doing the right thing? I know you love Drew but two weeks to get married...I don't know...you two just got together and it just seems too fast you two want to get married although I am happy for you don't get me wrong. I just don't want to see you and the kids get hurt.
Bless knew PJ meant well but she just wanted everybody to be happy for her and Drew.
BadBoyDrew: PJ, I know you mean well and I love you but I love Drew and he loves me. He made it up to me for his mistake plus he's a great father to the kids. I'm leaving the past in the past and moving on to our future. I just want to be a family with me and Drew and the kids. All I ask you guys is for your blessing for us to get married and be happy for us. It was actually Drew's decision for us to have a civil wedding just for us to be united as husband and wife and I'm going along with it to say yes and to be his wife and we are planning a church wedding maybe in a year or two. I want you guys to be part of our family too and be part of the candle sponsors. You guys don't have to say yes or we could find somebody else to do that part. We understand if you guys aren't ready to be happy for us and we're okay with that as long as Drew and I are happy.
Bless could hear PJ sigh on the other end and wasn't sure if he was ready to forgive Drew yet after what he did to his best friend and kids.
WadeBarrett1: Sweetie, I am happy for you but I'm not sure if I can do it. I'm just not ready to face Drew yet or forgive him or seeing you marry him. It might take me time but I'm sorry for disappointing you.
Bless was just quiet as she heard PJ speak. She felt that hurt in her heart that he didn't want to be at the wedding or be a candle sponsor for her and Drew's wedding. She understood he still hated Drew but wished he would move on and understand she loved him and he loved her. She didn't know what else to say to him as she felt hot tears escape.
"Excuse me babe." Bless mouthed to Drew just wanting to be alone. Drew looked on in sadness watching his future wife leaving the room wondering what happened to make her cry. She just looked so hurt and rejected and it hurt him too.
He put the phone up to his ear.
BadBoyDrew: Shtu, are you still there?
WadeBarrett1: Yeah man I'm still here. I'm sorry about that. PJ just went off on Bless like that and he just walked away. Is she okay?
BadBoyDrew: I don't know exactly lad. Do you mind if we talk later. I have to go check on her.
WadeBarrett1: Yeah go ahead. I think Heath and I have to go talk to PJ as well. I don't know what that was but he has a lot of explaining to do.
BadBoyDrew: Thanks man. I'll talk to you soon after I go talk with my wife.
WadeBarrett1: Take good care of her man. You don't know how precious she is until you lose her.
BadBoyDrew: I promise. I'll talk to you again later tonight. Gotta run now.
After the guys talked, Drew put his phone down on the table and got up concerned for his future bride who walked to the kitchen looking like someone just took her best friend away from her.
Walking to the kitchen, he sadly looked at Bless who was nursing a warm mug of warm milk in front of her as she had tears in her eyes looking down at the table. She looked so heartbroken it hurt him too. Whatever was hurting his future wife what PJ had told her, it hurt him the same and hated to see her like this.
"Lass, are you okay?" Drew asked softly sitting beside her.
"Not really..." She sighed not wanting to talk about what happened between her and PJ.
"Do you want to tell me what just happened?"
"I just don't want to talk about it right now..." She sniffled softly.
"Baby, I don't know what's wrong until you open up to me about it." The Scot told her wanting her to open up about the issue to try and resolve it.
"I'm going up to bed. I'll talk about it later okay." She hoped Drew understood she would just talk to him later about the issue. Right now the hurt she felt was deep. She felt like her best friend turned his back on her.
Drew sighed sadly watching Bless get up grabbing her warm milk and head for their room.
"Okay. Promise me you'll talk to me baby. Don't let what's hurting you linger on too much...I love you." Drew grabbed her hand and told her that she promise him they would talk things out together.
"Promise. I just want to lay down since I don't feel so good right now. I love you." She softly told him kissing the top of his head as he hugged her before leaving the room.
The Ayr man sighed and decided to follow in his future wife's footsteps and keep her company knowing she needed him the most.
He walked in the room to see had put her cup of milk off to the side after she had drank some of it and she was laying in bed with her eyes closed but had a trail of tears running down her cheeks.
The Scotland native just laid by her side and wrapped an arm around her letting her know he was there for her and give her the comfort she truly needed. He hoped to later talk to PJ and hoped to find out what they talked about causing her to hurt like this and he was going to get to the bottom of the situation soon.
