Abandoned Baby
Chapter 135
The next morning Bless was the first to wake up when she felt shaking next to her.
"Mommy, wake up!" Catherine giggled trying to wake her mommy up from her slumber.
"Baby, go back to sleep. It's still early." Bless persuaded her daughter trying to go back to sleep.
"Mommy, it's 11:30. Dada has something for you." The little child told her mom that Drew had a surprise for her.
The young mom sighed wondering why her daughter would be wanting to wake up.
She smiled when she seen her future husband bring breakfast in bed for her.
"Breakfast in bed my love." Drew presented her with some pancakes with smiley faces, strawberry, sausage, scrambled eggs, and orange juice.
"Oh sweetie. Thank you." Bless smiled a sleepy smile as she carefully sat up in bed to eat.
"Catherine helped." Drew chuckled letting his future wife know that their daughter helped with the smiley face on the pancakes with the syrup and she added strawberry to the mix on the side of the pancakes.
"I help dada with the berry and smileys mama." Catherine was proud that she got to help Drew in the kitchen.
"That was very sweet of you baby. Thank you." Bless thought it was very thoughtful of their daughter to do that.
"Welcome." Catherine smiled as her mom kissed her cheek.
"Did you eat anything today sweetheart?" Her mommy asked her.
"Oatmeal and appwe juice."
"Good. At least you had breakfast this morning."
"Is Alex up yet?" Bless asked about the baby.
"Just fed him a bottle a while ago and is in the playpen laying down."
"Thanks babe." Bless smiled at how sweet Drew was to take care of her, Catherine,and their son this morning.
"It's no problem baby plus I love taking care of you and our kids."
"I hope you had breakfast this morning sweetie." Bless hoped Drew was able to have his breakfast as well.
"Don't worry love. I ate too as soon as Catherine had breakfast so the lil' one and I bonded and had a great time making breakfast for you."
"Okay. Just making sure." Bless smiled as Drew had Catherine sitting on his lap while watching cartoons together.
"Are you still going to make wedding plans later today?" The Ayr man asked his future wife.
"We could still work on the rest this afternoon as soon as the kids take their afternoon naps." Bless hoped to get the wedding plans out of the way that way they wouldn't have to worry about it later on.
"That sounds like a good idea."
"I agree and I wouldn't have to worry about the rest later on."
"Don't worry baby. We'll figure things out." Drew told her not to worry so much that she wouldn't get too stressed about it.
"Thanks hon. I really appreciate it."
After Bless had her breakfast, Drew washed the dishes.
"Dada, can I go to my room and watch cartoons with Cubby?" Catherine asked if it was okay to go to her room with her stuffed puppy.
"I don't see why not baby love." Drew told his daughter that she could go to her room and watch tv while her parents bonded.
Once the little one toddled off to her room, her parents were left alone.
"so...about those wedding plans, I guess we should cancel the candle sponsors and ring bearer are out of the question till we could find some people to fill in so we could push that aside for now. So far I have to call the girls to see if they could be the bridesmaids for the wedding."
"That sounds like a good idea lass." Drew agreed hoping the girls would agree to the plans.
Bless picked up her phone and dialed Victoria (Alicia Fox) whom was currently living with PJ and hoped she'd get Vicky since she really didn't want to put up with PJ at the moment.
AliciaFoxy: Hello
Bless: Hey Vicky. How's my favorite chicky doing today?
AliciaFoxy: Just fine and missing you out on the road and wished you could come travel with us again. The girls and I miss you.
Bless: I miss you too and the divas too. Don't worry. When Drew and I start traveling again. I'll give you a call that way you and I including the divas could catch up.
AliciaFoxy: That sounds like a fun idea. How is life and how is my favorite little chicky Catherine and have you had Alexander yet?
Bless: Pretty good actually thanks for asking. Catherine is up in her room watching tv so Drew and I are downstairs talking about having a wedding since he and I got back together. Yup Alex is in his playpen actually and watching over him while Drew is sitting with me.
AliciaFoxy: I'm happy for you sweetie and you gotta send me pics of Alex. I'm sure he is just a doll.
Bless: He is and don't worry I will send pics of him and Cat to you one of these days. Speaking of weddings, I was wondering if you would like to be one of my maid of honors in two weeks time for mine and Drew's civil wedding?"
AliciaFoxy: Two weeks sounds a little fast for wedding sweetie and I'm not sure if I have time off from the road but I'll try to squeeze it in if I could if I can ask Vince for some time off if you and Drew plan on getting married this quickly.
Bless: Drew did propose to me a few weeks ago and now he wants to get married this time just to make it official. We're thinking of having a church wedding within maybe 1 or 2 years in advance just to get everyone together to celebrate Drew and I getting married and making our family official.
AliciaFoxy: Just make sure he treats you and the kids right this time sweetie. I don't want to see you getting hurt like the last time.
Bless: I know you do. He's perfect and treats me like a princess. Just this morning he and Catherine made me breakfast in bed and helped me with dinner yesterday night so everything was perfect. I really love him Vic and I know he loves me too. He's also perfect with the children whenever he looks out for them and loves them so much.
AliciaFoxy: As long as he makes you happy and the kids too that's all that matters. What date are you guys wanting to plan the civil wedding by the way?
Bless: May 16. I know it sounds rushed but Drew and I just want to make this official to be husband and wife and need some witnesses to be there for our special day. I understand if you can't come and I can just fill another diva in as another substitute.
AliciaFoxy: I can't promise anything but I will try to be there sweetie since you're my best gal pal.
Bless: Thanks Vicky. You're the best. By the way, have you heard anything from PJ yet by any chance...I really miss talking to him...
AliciaFoxy: I did talk to him a few times and he's still upset you and Drew getting married. I'll try to convince him one way or another Bless. He should grow up and get over it and know that Drew makes you happy is all that matters.
Bless: Thanks Vicky. That means a lot to me. Any way I still need to call Beth and Nattie to make plans. Maybe I can call you sometime next week if you're not busy or anything.
AliciaFoxy: Sure you can. Any time you need a friend, I'm always a call away.
Bless: Alright. Talk to you later chicky. Love you.
AliciaFoxy: Mwah...Love you too, bye!
After the two friends talked over the phone, Bless smiled to herself and put a maybe with a question mark next to her friends name.
"What's the update babe?" Drew asked walking back in the room with a ham and cheese sandwich in hand giving one to his fiance in case she was hungry.
"Thanks honey." Bless got the sandwich from Drew before placing it beside her to eat later.
"Vicky and I talked and she said maybe so hopefully it'll be a yes even though she said she can't promise anything she'll try to be here for the wedding. If she can't make it, I might have to call in a substitute."
"Sounds like a good plan so far. One down two to go."
"Yup. Next on my list...Nattie." The young bride saw the next name on the list.
The young woman picked dialed her friends number hoping to get Nattie on the line.
Tyson Kidd: Hello...
Bless: Hey kid. How are you?
Tyson Kidd: Bless? I thought you were gone...you're back?
Bless: Yes silly. I'm back alive and kickin'. I just had to get away for a little while. Sorry for scaring you and Nat but I'm just happy to be back home with my family.
Tyson Kidd: Damn woman, way to give us all heart attacks when we found out you were gone. I'm just happy to hear you're safe and sound. How's life treating you and is everything okay with you and the babies?
Bless: We're fine Teej thanks for asking. Catherine is up in her room watching tv, Alex is right here beside Drew and I in his playpen.
Tyson Kidd: You and Drew got back together? I thought you two broke up since he cheated on you the last time I heard.
Bless: He and I got together for the sake of the children. He and I want to stay civilized with each other and not witness the children to us fighting anymore and I feel guilty from keeping Catherine away from her father for so long. She deserves to have her dad and to be honest we're still working our relationship out to see where we stand.
Tyson Kidd: Bless, I hope everything works out for you and the kiddos. If Drew hurts you and the kids again, he has to go through me and Nat. I'm happy for you that you and Drew are trying to work things out and hope for the best. You're right the kids do deserve their dad and I'm glad Catherine is happy that Drew is around for her sake.
Bless: Thanks Kidd. That means a lot. We hope so too. I agree he's great with the kids and helps take care of me as well. We're working as a team again and he promises not to hurt me or the children anymore. He made a mistake and owned up to it and so far we hadn't had any problems since.
Tyson Kidd: I'm glad to hear that. As long as he makes you happy. I'm happy for you kiddo and for the kids too. If you and Drew have any problems, you're more than welcome to stay including the kids to stay with me and Nat that way you won't have to run away elsewhere.
Bless: Thanks Teej. You're a good friend. By the way, is Nattie home by any chance?
Tyson Kidd: Actually she and Beth went out just an hour ago to go shopping and go the spa to have a girls day out and will probably be back in a few hours so I'm just at home relaxing after getting home from the gym. I'll give her a message if you want me too.
Bless: Maybe I can call back in a few hours when she gets home to talk to her. Thanks any way Teej.
Tyson Kidd: No problem baby girl. Have a good day.
Bless: You too. Bye Teej.
After Bless talked with her Canadian friend on the phone, she put her phone on the charger as Drew sat back and hoped to get an update from his fiance.
"Nat is out with Beth and only got TJ on the phone so I can call her in a few hours when she gets home."
"Good. At least that's settled."
"Are you planning to call Berto and Stephen later?" The young soon to be bride asked Drew.
"I'll call up Berto when he gets home from the road knowing he won't be home till tomorrow night and who knows what Ste is up too unless he's hanging out with Shtu so hopefully I can contact him tonight before he goes to bed tonight."
"Okay we have those out of the way and got my bridesmaids and still have to call Nat and Beth later as well to get them up to date with things
and I guess all we need is our rings, flowers, cake, and my dress and we'll figure out the rest soon for the candle sponsors or unless someone changes their mind at the last minute to do those for the wedding." Bless jotted down some notes in her notepad.
"Good thinking hon. In two weeks time I'm going to be calling you Mrs. Bless Galloway." Drew smiled happily that he was going to call her his wife.
"I like the ring to that."
"I do too love." Her Ayr future husband agreed pulling her close to him as they sat together eating lunch and planning the rest of their wedding.
