Abandoned Baby

Chapter 139

The next morning Bless got up from her deep sleep when she felt a heavy weight against her. Looking down she saw Drew's arms were wrapped around her waist and he had the most peaceful look on his face as he was facing her as a few of his strands of chestnut locks had fallen on his sleeping face.

She couldn't help but giggle at how adorable he was as she turned to face him carefully without waking her sleeping lover as she gently brushed some of his locks away from his face pushing it behind his ear while watching him sleep.

"I love you baby." She told him softly as she took the soft pad of her thumb to stroke his cheek and taking in every feature of his delicate face with her eyes.

Slowly she leaned in to kiss him before pulling away as she continued to just watch him doze away with a slight small smile upon his face. Gently with nimble fingers, she raised his arm making sure she wasn't waking him and placed it at his side as she got up from bed to look over her shoulder to see it was about 9:15AM.

The sun was filtering through the balcony doors of their room as she peeped out from the blinds of their room. Deciding she wanted some fresh air, she grabbed her black silk robe and put it around her before opening the doors and looking back at Drew making sure she hadn't awakened him from his slumber.

The raven haired beauty gently closed the door behind her and leaned against the rails taking in the fresh morning air and letting the soft breeze surround her like arms enveloping around her. Moments like this she cherished feeling the quiet serenity around her taking in all the surroundings of their home.

She felt at peace and safe here at home with Drew once again and felt like they were really meant to be together. Bless was just glad to be home with him and their children. She knew they were meant to be a family and that's all she wanted.

She smiled at the ring down on her finger playing with it as it gleamed in the sunlight. Sometimes she felt like it was a dream he had proposed to her and she was going to be finally his wife. She couldn't wait to be his wife and him to be her husband.

"Penny for your thoughts there lass?" Her hubby spoke up with a smile when he had just woken up startling her in the process as she turned around to see his smiling face as he walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her tiny frame.

"Honey, you scared me..." Bless giggled a little startled had not realized her future husband was awake.

"I'm sorry babe. You look a little distracted, you okay?"

"I woke up and you weren't beside me and saw you out here. You okay baby?" The Scot asked her kissing the top of her head as he held her.

"Yeah I'm okay. I just had a few things on my mind and wanted to clear my head is all. I'm just trying to take this all in before we get married you know." She reassured him she was okay as he intertwined his fingers with her's.

"You having second thoughts love?"

"No...not at all Drew. I guess it's just wedding jitters is all I think. Are we going to be okay?" She asked him honestly to what their future might hold.

Yeah lass. We're going to be more than okay. I promise this to you lass. You're mine forever. I don't want anybody else but you and only you. I promised to never hurt you again. I don't want to put you and our kids in another awkward position and I don't want to lose you or them. You and the kids are all I have in this world. Believe me Bless, you're all I want in this world and to make you my wife and mother of my children." Drew let her know how much he loved her and didn't want to make anymore mistakes of losing her. He was stupid for letting her go once and he didn't plan on losing her again including their kids. They meant so much to him.

He heard her sniffle as he turned her around and saw the tears started making the way down her soft face.

"Awww baby love, please don't cry. I can't stand to see you cry." Drew let out a small chuckle brushing her tears with his thumbs.

"You promise to never hurt me again, I don't want to lose you."

"You'll never lose me baby. I'm yours forever." He softly promised her clutching her left hand and kissing it before pulling her close to him feeling comforted he meant that.

"I love you so much."

"I love you too and I mean that Bless. I love you more than anything else in this world."

"Drew, do you think we could push our wedding maybe another month or two just until maybe we're settled in together and make sure we're on the right track with everything including our relationship?"Bless requested if it was okay to push the wedding a little farther just to make sure things were okay between them.

"I don't have a problem with that lass. Whatever your heart decides and I'll wait till forever for you."

"I just want to make sure my heart is into it and I just don't want to rush anything plus I want to make sure we're on the same page with one another."

"Like I said lass, whatever your heart leads you go for it. I don't want to force you into anything you're not comfortable with. I'm here for a long shot and promise to make things right."

"Thanks for being so understanding. I wouldn't know to do without you."

"Anytime lass. I promise to love you forever and that's a promise." Drew then leaned in and kissed her as Bless smiled into the kiss as she brushed her soft fingers against the tresses of his hair bringing him in closer to deepen the kiss.

The two gently broke away from the kiss as the tall Scot smiled placing a kiss on her forehead letting their breaths slow down from the passionate kiss they shared as the tall man felt the small woman against him snuggle in his arms just letting her rest against him.

A few minutes later, Bless heard the baby monitor go off that was sitting on the chair knowing Alexander was due for a changing and feeding.

"I'll get him." She told her hubby hearing their son needed her.

"I'll help you babe." The tall wrestler told his future wife that he didn't mind helping with their son as he picked up the baby monitor bringing it with him.

"Okay." She nodded as they broke away from their peaceful moment to go tend to their baby boy.

"Hey there sweetie. Are you hungry and need a diaper change?" The young mom asked the small infant gathering the small boy in her arms.

"Shhhh, it's okay sweetie. Mommy's got you." She cooed softly kissing the side of his head as she laid Alex on the changing table as Drew grabbed some of the stuff they needed to change him.

"It looks like you made a stinky sweetie. I know, mommy's going to change you sweetheart." She consoled her son rubbing his stomach softly as Drew helped change Alex's diaper and gave her the stuff she needed such as baby wipes while he held the diaper rash cream as well.

"It's okay lad. Mommy and I are here." Drew comforted his son letting him know he and Bless were there with him watching Bless wipe the baby's bottom cleaning him up before throwing the dirty wipes in the diaper before closing it up.

Drew put the diaper rash cream and powder on Alex last before Bless put a new diaper on him.

"There you go champ. Good as new." Bless smiled at her infant son giving him a kiss on the head.

"Honey, can you hold Alex for a few minutes while I go throw this in the trash can in the bathroom?" She asked if he could hold Alex while she went to go throw the dirty diaper away.

"Sure babe, I got him."

The young mom walked into the bathroom and threw the dirty diaper in the trash and washed her hands at the sink.

She flipped the lights off once she walked out of the bathroom to go back to the nursery to see Drew walking around with their son rubbing his back comforting the young infant.

"Here hon, let me take over that way I can feed the little one. I'm sure he's got to be hungry."

They walked over to the rocking chair at the side of the room as the Scotsman carefully laid the infant in his future wife's arms as she lowered her shirt and let the infant eat as she rocked with him in her arms.

"You were hungry huh champ?" She softly giggled down at her baby boy while brushing some of his light whisps of hair with her fingers.

"He's so calm when you talk to him." The Scot noticed how quiet Alex had gotten once Bless had him in her arms.

"Yeah he is. Alex is such a good boy, right baby?" Bless leaned down to kiss their son on the forehead as she continued to feed him.

"He is the most beautiful baby we've brought into this world. I couldn't be more prouder of you that you brought Alex into our lives. You're the most strongest woman I've ever known being in labor for 12 hours with him."

"Thanks sweetie. I'm just glad he's here and he's ours forever." Bless smiled at Drew as he pecked her lips before he leaned down and kissed their son on the head quietly loving spending time with them.

After Bless fed their son, she gave Alex to Drew while she fixed her shirt.

"Hon, do you want to hold Al and burp him?" She asked.

"Sure I would mommy." He got Alex from her and walked around the room with their son patting his back to get him to burp.

Bless couldn't help but smile at Drew holding their baby boy. He looked like a natural father and she fell more in love with him every second. This is how she pictured their life being a happy family.

"Good boy champ." She heard Drew speak when their son gave out a good burp and continued to walk around with the small infant on his shoulder as the baby laid his head on his father's shoulder opening and closing his eyes every few minutes while taking deep breaths.

"I think he's sleepy again." Bless noticed their son fighting sleep on his father's shoulder.

"I'll put him to bed as soon as he falls asleep. Why don't you go check on Catherine and I'll be with you in a few minutes once I put this little tyke down?" Drew suggested to his future wife that he would put Alex down to sleep once the baby fell asleep while she went to go make sure Catherine was okay.

"Okay." She nodded as she walked out of the room with a smile taking one last peek at them before she went to go check on their baby girl to see her up sitting on the pink carpeted floor with her toy puppy Cubby in her arms watching cartoons on her tv.

"Hey princess. You're up early." Bless spoke up.

The little angel turned around and smiled when she saw her mommy.

"Mama!" The little girl squeaked happy to see her giving her a hug good morning.

"Hey there's my big girl. Did you just get up?" Her mom asked giving her a kiss.

"Me just wake up mama." The little toddler told her as she snuggled into her mom's arms as Bless gave her a good morning kiss.

"Are you hungry?"

"Mmmmhmmm...hungy mama."

"What do you want to eat sweetheart?"

The little toddler tapped her chin as her mother giggled knowing she was thinking.

The little girl shrugged not knowing what she wanted for breakfast.

"Do you want milk and chocolate chip pancakes?"

"Otay." The little girl shrugged.

"Where dada?" She wondered about her dad.

"In the nursery with Alex but he'll join us later."

The little girl turned off her tv before taking her mom's hand into her's as they made their way downstairs to the kitchen to make breakfast.

"Do you want to help mama in the kitchen little one?" Bless asked Catherine if she wanted to be mommy's little helper.

"Yeah. I a big girl." Catherine proudly told her mommy.

"Good. You can be mommy's little helper then." Bless giggled glad Catherine got a chance to help her what to put or mix with the ingredients.

"Hey there love. Good morning." Drew greeted his daughter good morning.

"Morning Dada." Catherine smiled her toothy smile at him while helping her mom when she seen him walk over.

"I see you are helping mommy again. My little girl is growing up too fast on me." The Scot chuckled how fast she was growing up in front of his eyes.

"I wuv helping mama plus I mama's helper right mama?" The little girl giggled sweetly which was music to Drew's ears.

"Of course you are baby and always will be." Bless told her with a smile as she winked at Drew too.

"Drew are you hungry, I'm making us breakfast as well." His fiance told him that she was making breakfast for them.

"I think I'm just gonna make myself some protein shake and some eggs and work out downstairs for awhile but thanks for thinking of me sweets." He appreciated the sweet gesture as he was going about in the cupboards making himself his protein shakes and eggs before he started out the day to work out.

"No problem honey." She winked at him before going back to her work with Catherine.

After the girls finished making breakfast and got everything set up, Catherine helped Bless to put the plates and utensils on the table.

"Thank you for helping baby. Mommy is so proud of you." Bless told her daughter how proud she was of Cat being a big girl by helping her mom set the table.

"I want too mama because I wuv yew and I a big girl." Catherine was happy to help her mommy.

"Mama, can I help put the pancakes on the table?" The little girl asked.

"Honey, I don't want you to hurt yourself plus these are still hot so let mommy do it okay. You did a good job of setting the table though. Why don't you go get your sippy cup and sit at the table and mommy will get your milk as soon as I put the food on the table." Her mom suggested as she was putting the food on the counter to put on the table later.

"Otay mommy." Catherine obeyed as she went to her booster seat to sit down after getting her sippy cup.

As soon as Bless finished putting the food on the table, she grabbed the carton of milk and unscrewed Catherine's sippy cup lid and poured some milk in it before closing it again.

"Here you go baby." Bless gave the sippy cup to Catherine as the little girl giggled taking sips of her milk.

"Tank yew mama." Catherine smiled.

"You're welcome baby."

"Honey, do you want eggs or sausage with your pancakes?" Bless asked her little girl.

"Eggs."

"Okay baby. Make sure you eat all of it okay."

"I will mama."

Bless helped Catherine cut her pancakes into bite size pieces that way she would be able to eat it all.

"Mama, you work today?" Catherine asked her mom if she was going to be busy since she wanted to spend time with her mother.

"Not today sweetie. I get all the free time to spend with you and Alex so you have me all day until tomorrow if anybody needs me so you may have to spend time with daddy okay?"

"Otay mama." The little toddler understood as she continued to eat her pancakes.

"Make sure to eat your scrambled eggs baby." Bless told her daughter who nodded.

"Mama, are you and dada going to marry soon?" The toddler was once again curious if her parents were going to be together forever.

"Well anak (Child), I don't know how to explain to you since you're still little but I hope you understand okay. Daddy and I do promise to stay together for you and Alex if he and I work things out first. I love daddy very very much like I love you and Alex. It may take time for he and I to get along but we both love you very very much don't forget that. Nothing will ever change." Bless tried explaining to the young toddler in a simple sentence that way Catherine would understand.

"You and dada still happy right mommy?" The small girl asked looking up at her mom honestly wishing they could be together and not fight anymore like they used too.

"Yes we are baby. You don't need to worry your pretty head about anything. Daddy and I will be just fine. We love you and Alex no matter what." Bless reassured her daughter that she didn't need to worry and they would still be a family.

"I promised daddy we would take it slow with each other but eventually we'll get to being a happy family again honey."

"I wuv when yew and dada don't fight. I l wuv yew and dada and I hate to see yew sad when dada make yew cry..." Catherine honestly told Bless how she felt when she hated to see her parents fight but loved them both when they were happy.

"I know baby. Parents fight sometimes but those are bumps for now like owies but we promise to get along for the sake of you and your brother."

"Pwomise mommy?"

"I promise baby. One day you'll understand the rest when you're more older."

"Otay mommy." Catherine nodded smiling.

"Come here you." Bless smiled as the little toddler smiled toddling up to her mom's lap as Bless gave her a kiss on the head loving the moment of getting to talk to her daughter and get her to understand more things even she was still little but she seemed to take things with stride.

"Mommy, can I ask yew something?" The little girl asked as she was in her arms.

"Anything baby." Bless nodded.

"Mommy, how come I don't look like yew or dada?" The little girl became curious since she didn't look anything like Bless or Drew.

Bless sighed knowing this question was coming and hoped Cat would understand eventually.

"Honey, you know what adoption is right?"

Catherine shook her head causing her little curls to shake.

"Well adoption is like when you don't grow in your mommy's tummy but in her heart."

"What yew mean mommy?"

"Honey, your real mommy died a long time ago..."

"What die mean mama?"

"Sweetie, it means your mommy is no longer here and she went so sleep for a very very long time. She's up in the sky with the beautiful angels."

"Why did mommy die mama?" Catherine wondered why her real mommy left her.

Bless sighed not sure how to answer that question and wished she could tell her daughter.

"So yew not my real mommy?" The little girl was curious as she sniffled as she looked up at Bless.

Bless teared up and shook her head.

"You see baby, your mommy died because a bad man hurt her. Dada and I found you one day along with dada, Uncle JC, and Uncle Randy in a basket so we took you into our care and raised you as our own. Dada and I didn't want to see you hurt or get sick so I took you in. I'm sure your real mommy would've wanted you to be loved and safe so you went to us."

"Do yew tink mommy still wuv me mama?"

"Yes, very very much and I'm sure she would've wanted you honey. I think your mommy is glad me and dada took care of you and gave you the best love in the whole world."

"Can I still caw you mommy if it's otay?" Catherine hoped it was okay with Bless.

"Of course baby. Even though you may not be mine by blood but you will always grow in my heart and I will always love you." Bless meant that and would always love Catherine.

"I'm glad yer my mommy." Catherine smiled up at Bless and hugged her.

"I'm glad to be your mom too baby. No matter what, you'll always be my little girl."

"I hope the bad man doesn't get me after he hurt my mommy..."

"Honey, dada and I will always protect you and so will Alex." Bless swore with all her heart and soul they would do everything in their will to protect and love her.

"Are you done eating baby?" Bless asked seeing Catherine's plate was empty.

"Yes mama. I done." Catherine nodded she was done eating as Bless got her plate off the table.

"Good girl. Make sure you drink the rest of your milk and you can run off and play."

"Otay." The little girl obeyed as she grabbed her sippy cup to drink the rest of her milk.

After Catherine got done eating, she went off to her room to go play meanwhile Drew just finished working out to see Bless gathering what she and Cat got done eating and drinking putting them in the sink to wash.

"Hey babe. Need any help?" The Scot asked seeing his fiance at the sink.

"I got these baby. Don't worry." Bless reassured her future husband seeing him grab a glass and filling it with water.

"Where's Cat?" He asked about their baby girl.

"Playing in her room after she got done eating. She and I had a mother to daughter heart to heart talk. She was asking if we were going to be together forever to her real mom since she noticed she doesn't look like us." She explained to him what she and their daughter talked about.

"How did she take it?" He asked standing beside Bless watching her wash the dishes.

"She took it rather well and I explained it all in a simple way. She kinda understands but I told her she would understand the rest when she gets older. I know she's a little girl but she gets curious. I just wanted to be honest with her. I love that little girl more than anything in this world. I didn't tell her about her biological dad because I know that would scare her to know her dad might hurt her if he ever got out of jail but I told her that you and I including Alex would do anything to protect her."

"You did the right thing baby. I too swear to protect her and Alex including you at all cost if that son of a bitch decides to hurt my family if he ever gets out. I love that little girl as well. There's nothing else I want to do than let her know everything is going to be okay and we love her."

"I know you love her, we both do and she's in our custody now where no one can hurt her and we can give her a good life and lots of love. I'm sure her mom would want that."

"Yeah she would. I'm sure of it. You're a great mom with her and from the first day I saw you hold her, I fell more in love with you. I can't wait to have another little girl just like her one day when we're ready to have another baby down the road."

"You're also a great dad with her. I knew when we got her I knew she would be our's. We finally got the family we both wanted as well. I know when we get married and we're ready, we'll be finally a true family."

"I would love that." Drew agreed as he walked over wrapping his arms around Bless and kissed her neck lovingly as she smiled even though he couldn't see it but he felt it.

"I would too." She nodded against him letting him hold her.

"How was your workout?" She asked him.

"It was pretty good. I missed holding my girl in my arms though." He let her know with a smile and sighed kissing her head taking in the scent of her coconut shampoo scented hair.

"I missed you too and I feel better when you hold me. I feel so safe in your arms." She sighed feeling content in her fiance's arms and wished he would never let go.

"Honey, are you sure about us postponing our wedding until we're decided and happy with the way things are going?" Bless wanted to make sure they were okay with the change of plans.

"I'm more than okay with it lass. I don't mind and when you want to get married, I'll be happy to follow your lead. I'm in no rush babe plus like I said I don't want to push you if you're not ready."

"You always know what to say and make me feel better. No wonder I love you so much." She turned around and wrapped her arms around his strong torso as she looked up into his deep blue eyes.

"I love you too and I always will." He told her sincerely as he tilted up her chin to give her a sweet kiss.

"We should stop in case Catherine comes in here." She smiled in between his lips.

"Mmmm...I don't want this to end..."The Scot murmured softly as he kissed the love of his life.

"Dada, what you doin' to mama?" Catherine giggled as she seen her daddy kiss her mommy.

"Busted." Bless giggled to Drew breaking away from the kiss seeing Catherine.

"Hey shorty. Nothin', your mom and I were just catching is all. Weren't you just watching cartoons?" Drew chuckled asking his tiny daughter.

"I was bored and wanted to spend time wit yew and mama."

"Hmmm...how about when Alex wakes up we get ready and we go to the park and have a family picnic?" He suggested that they do that and have a family fun filled day.

"That sounds like fun!" The little toddler beamed.

"What about you baby, would you be okay with it?" The Scottish wrestler asked his fiance if she was okay with the idea.

"I think we could think of doing that since it's a beautiful day out." Bless agreed to the suggestion that she would love to spend time with her children and Drew for the day.

"Great, let me grab a shower and as soon as Alex is awake soon we'll go out."

"Sounds like a good idea baby." Bless nodded as she got some things ready for the picnic while Drew walked away to grab a shower.

"Mommy, do you still have my pwetty owange dwess yew bought me?" Catherine asked her if she still had the dress her mother had gotten her.

"Yes I do baby. Let mommy pack what we need first then we'll get you dressed."

After Bless packed up everything to bring, she gave Cat a bath and got her dressed then tended to Alex as soon as he woke up and got him ready too to go out.

When Drew finished his shower, he helped Bless with their son to look after him and packed things in the van while Catherine looked for what kind of shoes she wanted to wear while Bless was also taking a shower and getting ready for the day.

"Dada, I need help with these bunny ties." The little girl pouted at her dad she needed help tying her sneakers as soon as she put them on.

Drew chuckled seeing his daughter looked to be needing her shoes to be tied.

"Hold on a second sweetums. Champ, gotta put you down first in your stroller while I help your sister with her shoes." Drew told Alex putting him down in the baby stroller beside him and strapping in his seatbelt that way he was safe and secure.

He then turned to Catherine.

"Okay baby, let's teach you how to tie those laces." Drew instructed her as she watched intently while sitting on his lap.

"See, now they're bunny ears tied together." He chuckled showing her how he tied her shoes.

"I want to tie shoes dada." Catherine hoped to learn what he did.

"Don't worry swee'ie, one day you'll get it. It takes time but I'm glad I got to help you with them." He smiled kissing her cheek.

"Dada, can I bring Cubby with me in the car?" The little toddler girl asked if it was okay to bring her stuffed puppy.

"Sure you can love." Drew was totally okay with Cat bringing her favorite stuffed toy puppy he had gotten her when she was a baby.

Catherine quickly toddled to her room to grab her toy which was on top of her bed before meeting back with her daddy who was giving Alex his pacifier.

As soon as Bless got finished getting dressed, she put on her best blue sun dress and let her long curls down and had white flop flops on.

"Love, can you sit tight with Al while I help your mom put some stuff in the car?" Drew asked his daughter a favor to watch her baby brother while he helped Bless.

"Otay daddy. I pwomise." Catherine obeyed like a good little girl sitting on the stairs while watching her baby brother while her dad helped her mom put away some stuff by the door to make sure they had everything.

"Honey, I got these. Don't worry." Bless reassured that all she had were the carry on's that weren't necessarily too heavy plus while carrying the diaper bag with all the necessary stuff Alex would need and a few clothes and such for Catherine in case it got a little cold out.

After everything was packed and the kids were strapped into their seats, the family was ready to go out and spend time together as a family.
