Abandoned Baby
Chapter 142
The next day Bless got up when the alarm buzzed at 8:15AM knowing she had to get up spend mother and daughter day with Catherine. She kept her promise they would go to the mall together.
She looked over her shoulder to see Drew still fast asleep in bed. He had a peaceful look over his face and his breathing was soft and calming.
Careful not to wake her sleeping lover, she got out of bed and turned off the alarm and tied her robe around her and put her hair in a ponytail and started her day to see what she could make for breakfast for her and Catherine.
Walking out to the kitchen, Bless started making herself some coffee at the coffee maker and decided to get some hot cocoa with marshmallows for Catherine.
Bless looked at some ingredients to see what she could make for breakfast and decided on some chocolate chip pancakes with scrambled eggs and sausage links. She grabbed some pots and pans from the drawers to start making breakfast.
A few minutes later Catherine had woken up giving out a still sleepy yawn as she dragged her baby blanket with her and Cubby in the other arm.
She decided to go check on her mom to see if she was up since she remembered it was mother and daughter day to spend together. Making her way downstairs she heard some noises so she decided to check in the kitchen where the noise was coming from.
The little toddler made her way to the kitchen to see her mommy at the stove cooking.
"Good morning mommy." Catherine greeted her mom good morning with a toothy smile.
"Hey there sunshine. Good morning my beautiful girl." Bless turned around and smiled when she saw the tiny little girl in her Snoopy pajamas as the little girl ran up in her mommy's arms as Bless scooped her up and kissed her on the cheek.
"Did you sleep good baby?" Bless asked the little toddler.
"Yeah. Member today we spend time together." The little girl reminded her with a cute toothy smile.
"I remember baby that's why I'm making breakfast for the two of us this morning." Her mommy told her with a warm smile.
"Why don't you go sit down and watch cartoons while mommy makes you something to drink and eat?" Bless suggested putting her daughter down.
"Otay." Catherine nodded as she went to grab the remote to turn on the tv to look for some cartoons to watch while she sat down in her booster seat as Bless made them breakfast.
After Bless made breakfast the two girls said grace and started eating.
While the girls ate, Bless' cellphone went off to see Carla calling her.
Bless M: Good Morning Carla.
MissCarlaG: Good Morning Ate. Just wondering if you're not busy this morning you would like to go to the mall since I need some stress free day today to do something and have a girls day out.
BlessM: Ah' Carla, good timing yung tawag mo kasi mag outing ako at si Catty mamaya pag tapos kami mag kain. Gusto siya mag pasyal sa mall so kung gusto mo hatid kami pag outing o kung gusto mo tuloy dito sa bahay mag kain muna. Luto ako ang breakfast kung gutom ka before lakad tayo. (It's good timing that you've called since myself and Catty are going out later after we finish eating. She wants to go out to the mall so if you want to pick us up that way we could go out or if you want to come down to the house to come eat first. I cooked breakfast if you're hungry before we walk today.)
MissCarlaG: Okay, mag stop ako doon in about 15 minutes. (I'll stop by) Let me just tell mommy and I'll see you soon.
BlessM: See you soon. Bye.
"Mama, whose that?" Cat asked watching her mom put down the phone on the table.
"Your Tita (Auntie) Carla is coming down to join us to go malling. I hope you don't mind." Bless hoped Cat didn't mind if her auntie joined them to jo out.
"That sounds like fun." Catherine agreed with her mom as she ate some of her chocolate chip pancakes.
"Do you want me to cut your sausage for you baby?" Bless asked as she started eating her meal.
"Pease mommy." Catherine asked politely as Bless smiled getting Cat's knife and fork on her plate to slice some of the sausage links into bite size pieces.
"Make sure you eat all of it including your eggs."
"I will mommy."
While the girls ate, Bless heard the doorbell knowing it was Carla coming by. She seen her Mercedes out the window.
"Hi Carla. Nice to see you." Bless smiled as she kissed her friends cheek.
"Nice to see you smiling again." Carla noticed Bless looked happy and content.
"Gusto mo ang kapi at may chocolate chip pancakes?" (Do you want coffee with your chocolate chip cookies?"
"Okay." Carla nodded with a smile.
"You know my favorite pancakes." Carla told her with a warm smile walking in the kitchen with Bless.
"Talaga, paborito rin ni Catherine." (Really, they're Catherine's favorite too.)
"Hi baby." Carla greeted Catherine good morning with a warm smile and kissed her cheek.
"Good Morning Tita." (Auntie) Catherine greeted her favorite aunt with a warm smile as she was eating her food.
"Ready to go malling today?" Her auntie asked her.
"Yeah. Mommy said we could."
"Good. We're going to enjoy the day." Carla told her favorite niece as she sat with her.
"So Te, how's life treating you so far?"
"Pretty good. Saya kami. Walang problema at ayos si Drew at ako sa love life namin. Gusto namin mag kasama sa kanya in two weeks." (We're happy and there's no problems and Drew and I are doing alright in our love life. He wants us to go with him on the road for two weeks.)
"Well if you're happy then I'm happy for you. I just hope he doesn't hurt you again."
A few minutes later Bless heard Alex cry over the baby monitor.
"I'll get him." Bless smiled leaving the girls on their own.
As soon as Bless reached the nursery, she picked up Alex.
"Oh baby bakit (What's wrong), it's okay...mommy's here." Bless comforted the little infant.
"Are you hungry?" She asked him as she cradled the young infant in her arms.
"Come on baby, let's go feed you a bottle."
Once downstairs, She found the table empty realizing maybe she had helped Catherine get dressed to go out that way they could leave in a little while.
Bless opened the fridge and grabbed a bottle. She placed in the microwave for thirty seconds to heat up before giving it to Alex.
"Shhhh, I know you're hungry anak (Child)." Bless comforted the little infant rubbing his back gently.
When the bottle finished heating up, Bless opened the microwave and tested the bottle on her arm making sure it was warm enough before feeding the baby.
"There we go. Wag mag iyak na anak." (Don't cry now child.) Bless told the baby with a soft smile while feeding him.
"Mommy, Tita Carla helped me get dwessed and got me a pwetty dwess." Catherine showed off her white duster dress that was embroidered with pretty colorful flowers.
"You look so pretty baby." Bless smiled seeing the little girl in her dress and a matching white headband and jean jacket with little embroidered flowers on the pocket.
"Tank yew mommy. Tita Carla made the dwess and it look pwetty on me."
"Ang ganda niya diba Ate, gawin ako ng dress para kay Catherine. Regalo ko to' sa kanya." (She looks so nice doesn't she, I made the dress for Cat. It's a gift for her.) Carla showed off the dress she stitched and made herself just for her beautiful niece.
"Ang ganda ang gawin mo Carla." (It's very nice that you did that). Bless was very impressed with the dress she made especially for Catherine.
"Para sa kanya to' (This is for her), I decided to make it when I had spare time last week." The young teenager told her friend with a warm smile.
"Baby, did you thank Tita for the pretty dress she made?" Bless asked her daughter.
"Yes I did mommy. I wuv it." Catherine told her with a smile.
"I like it too baby. Tita did a great job with it."
"Mommy, when we go to mall?" Catherine asked her.
"As soon as I finish feeding Alex and get myself ready." Her mom let her know she was going to finish feeding Alex and get ready.
"Can Awex go wit us mommy?" The little toddler asked if it was okay to bring her baby brother along.
"I don't see why not baby. I think it would be okay if Alex spent the day with us." Her mom agreed liking the idea that way the siblings too could spend the day together.
"Ang cute cute ni Alex. Parang muhka sa inyo." (Alex is so cute, he looks so much like you.)
"Hindi noh, ang papa niya ang muhka." (No way, I think he looks more like his dad.)
"Parang ang cheeks at ang nose niya talaga sa inyo Bless." (His cheeks and his nose are totally are like yours.) Carla giggled looking down at the sweet little boy.
After Bless finished feeding Alex and burping him, they went and got ready while Cat stayed with her Auntie downstairs having their little girl talk.
A little while later Drew woke up when he heard Bless moving around. He wondered what time it was when he sat up in bed seeing it was 10:30AM.
He ran his fingers through his dark chestnut hair and got up from bed when he saw Bless getting Alex changed in the bathroom.
"Hey love, how long have you been up?" Drew greeted his fiance with a warm smile and kissed her lovingly on the cheek.
"Hey baby. Since 8:30 this morning. Carla, Alex, Cat, and I are going to the mall this morning. I hope you don't mind us going out unless you have other plans today." She explained that they were going out for the day.
"Actually I might meet Heath this afternoon to see what he's up too and see what his plans are for our next storyline whatever idea he has planned." Drew told her what he what was going to do for the the day while they were out.
"Sounds like a good idea and we could run the idea to Vince maybe tomorrow or the next day and see what we come up with. Maybe we could discuss it over dinner tonight."
"That sounds like a wonderful plan baby. I say we work as a great team when you know the solution to everything."
"I say we do. Can you hold our son for me while I change his diaper real quick?" She asked him if he could hold Alex that way he didn't fall.
"Sure I can. Come here champ." Drew got the baby from Bless as they walked over to the nursery together as he laid Alex down to change him.
"Oooo...it seems like you made a little stinky. I guess it's time for a new diaper change." Bless noticed Alex needed a new diaper as Drew helped her change him.
Once Bless finished changing Alex, she changed him into some outing clothes and got ready as well.
"I'll see you in a couple of hours hon. I love you." Bless told him with a warm smile.
"I love you too. Come back safe okay?" Drew said to her as he sweetly kissed her.
"I will." She nodded.
"Bye champ, be good for mummy and Cat okay?" The Scot told his son kissing his forehead.
The girls started to head out and get their day started while Drew got himself ready for the day too to see what Heath was up too since he was home from the road.
"So Ate, how are the wedding plans going so far?" Carla asked as she was pushing Alex in his stroller while Bless was holding Catherine on her hip.
"Actually Drew and I pushed the wedding a little further than expected."Bless explained to the young girl.
"Bakit?" (Why?) Carla wanted to know why Bless was pushing the wedding date.
"Kasi (Because) I just want to make sure Drew and I are on the same page in our relationship. I love him but I want to make sure my heart is into getting married plus I want to do this for yung bata." (the kids) Bless explained why she wanted to push the wedding data month or two.
"That seems reasonable. I could understand you Bless. I'm glad you're doing the right thing. You don't need to rush the wedding." The young teenager told her with a warm smile.
"Takot ako lang baka masakatan ako. (I'm just scared I might get hurt again) I'm just glad Drew has been so loving and attentive. Mahal siya ang bata parang gusto niya makaron kami may third baby down the road." (He loves the kids and he wants us to have a third baby.) Bless smiled turning to her friend as they looked around the shops.
Carla couldn't help smile at her friend seeing her happy again. She just seemed so content with life no matter what curve balls were thrown at her. She and Drew were able to work things out including for the children. That showed a real relationship and love. Drew was really trying to gain back her trust and companionship. Maybe she had been too hard on the Scotsman. She could tell by Bless' voice she was happy with him which was all that mattered.
"Are you and Drew willing to try for another baby after Alex?" The young girl asked her friend.
"Maybe. We'll see how things go first." Bless shrugged not sure yet but they would see how things worked out with their relationship.
"Mommy, we go to toy store?" Catherine asked her.
"Sure we can baby." Her mom nodded as they made their way to the toys just to look around.
After the toy store, they went to look at the clothes section in another store.
"Mommy, look. Very pwetty." Catherine pointed to a very colorful yellow dress that she liked.
"Yeah that is very pretty." Bless agreed with Catherine as she they walked over to the hangers to look at it.
"I make those kinds of dresses Catherine. Maybe when I have time I can make another one for you just like that one that way your mommy doesn't have to keep buying one." Carla told her youngest niece that she could make those types of designs.
"Really Tita?" (Auntie). Catherine asked her.
"Yup and I'll make them especially for you if you like the same one's that you see here."
"Tank yew." Catherine was happy that her auntie would make something for her.
"No problem sweetheart plus it's because I love you."
"I wuv yew too." Catherine told her with a toothy smile.
"Thank you Carla." Bless told her as well.
"It's no problem plus I love your kids as if they were my own as well. Maybe one day down the road I'll hope too have kids of my own and would love to make something for them too. Whenever I'm not busy, I'm always finding myself doing something different or when working on a project."
"You're really talented Carla. I could see that and whatever you work on you really put your mind into."
"Thanks Bless. That really means a lot." Carla smiled.
After the girls looked around for a while and had lunch, Bless called Drew and left him a message just letting him know they would be home soon.
A few minutes later Bless' cell ring tone of Drew's entrance music went off knowing Drew would be calling.
BlessM: Hey baby. We're on our way home.
BadBoyDrew: Hey sweetheart. Just got your call when I saw my phone went off. I'm down here at the house and invited Jinder and Heath down to discuss our storyline. I think your going to like this one when you hear it lass.
BlessM: Great. Can't wait to see you guys. Carla is going to drop us off at the house. We should be there in 10 minutes. We'll be pulling up the drive way pretty soon.
BadBoyDrew: Can't wait to see you baby. I love you.
BlessM: I love you too. Bye.
"Carla, thank you for taking us out. I really appreciate it." Bless felt grateful her friend was able to take her out for the day to just hang out.
"It's my pleasure Bless. Maybe one of these days you could come visit. Mama has been requesting to see you and the kids."
"We'll see if we could maybe after two weeks."
"Sounds great."
After Carla dropped off Bless and the kids, she waved to them before driving off.
"Come on baby." Bless told her daughter to take her hand as the little girl did so walking up to the door to open it while also had Alex in his stroller.
They walked in the house to see Drew, Heath, and Yusev (Jinder) sitting together discussing stuff.
"Hey, we're home." Bless smiled seeing her fiance sitting on the couch.
"Hey there you are baby. Did you guys have a great day?"
"We did thanks." She smiled as she held Cat on her hip.
"Hi daddy." Cat smiled happy to see him.
"Hey there angel. Come here you." Drew chuckled as he opened up his arms out to her as she wrapped her little arms around his neck as he held her against him.
"Were you a good girl for mum?" He asked her.
"Yes I was." She nodded.
"Good girl. Love to hear that." He told her kissing her cheek.
"Hey man, you ready to get this meeting on the..." Heath walked in when he seen Drew with Catty.
"Unca Wockband!" Catty squealed happy to see the redhead when she heard his southern accent.
"Hey there little one. My you grew up too fast on me doll. Look at you." Heath chuckled as he walked over and kissed her cheek.
"Hey sweet cheeks." Heath greeted Bless next kissing her cheek and hugging her.
"Hey red. Nice to see you again." Bless greeted him with a sweet smile and a hug.
"So, you ready to get the meeting started?" The one man rock band asked the Scot.
"Sure I am. Babe, you want to join in our meeting?" The handsome Scottish wrestler turned to his fiance.
"Um...hold on babe. Sweetie, are you hungry for anything because mommy has to have a meeting with daddy and Uncle Heath." Bless asked if Cat was hungry for anything before she attended the small meeting with the three men.
"Drew, do you think you can put Al in his swing chair for me?" Bless asked him.
"Sure I could." Drew nodded getting Alex from her to put the baby in his infant swing in the living room.
"Mommy, could I have peanut butter sandwich?" Catherine requested.
"Sure baby. Is that all you want?"
"Yeah." Catherine made sure.
"Come on then honey bunny."
After Bless made Cat's sandwich and gave her some juice and Cat finished eating, the little toddler went to go play in her room.
Bless walked in the living room to sit next to Drew as Jinder sat on one of the one seater couches while Heath sat on the other side.
"So boys, what do you have planned?" Bless asked them what they wanted to do.
"Well I have this idea of myself, Drew, and Yusev (Jinder) to do some sort of faction sort of like a rock band. We're starting out small but I think we could turn this out to be something really good in the long run." Heath added on what kind of group/faction they should make.
"It sounds like something fun and I think we should run it with Vince to see if he'll be okay with it." Bless added and thought it would be a great idea.
"You guys maybe should include social media into your little faction. It could really work."
"I think Bless has got something here." Jinder spoke up with a bright smile seeing a lightbulb go off.
"Hmmm...Sounds like a good idea lass and us three dress up in goofy yet cool outfits that would make us stand out." Drew included as he thought of the idea.
"Exactly hon." Bless giggled as she wrapped her arms around him.
"I like it. I can't wait for us to try it plus it'll get us more air time on tv. We'll have something to do too." The redhead southern man smiled.
"So true. More tv time the better." Bless agreed with her friend.
"So what are we going to call ourselves?" Drew wanted to know what their little faction was going to be called.
"The Encore" I think for now but if I come up with something, I surely will let you guys know." The Virginia native told him.
"I like it. I think we could think of something in the mean time." Jinder agreed with the guys decisions.
"So now that we have everything planned, Miss Bless, how is life going, I hope Drew is treating you and the kids right." Heath mentioned to her hoping that his friend was taking care of her.
"Pretty good. Happy as could be with no problems at all. The kids too are being taken cared of plus we're thinking of pushing the wedding a little farther just to make sure the two of us are on the same page in our relationship."
"Well that's not a bad thing at all honey. As long as Drew makes you happy then I'm happy for you sweet cheeks."
"So far Drew and I are still working out things in our relationship so we're pretty good. Drew has been convincing me to come out on the road in two weeks that way you guys including the divas could see the kids since it's been so long."
"I think you should come out on the road. It'll give you a good break away from home plus we miss you out on the road including the gals miss you backstage." Heath added on that he agreed with Drew that Bless and the kids should come visit them since she had time.
"I may also come out for the Glasgow tour since Drew is going back home for awhile and his parents miss the kids so they need to see their grandparents." She told him that she was willing to go out to Glasgow since Drew's parents wanted to see the kids.
"That's great sweetie. More family quality time and now that Alex is born." Heath nodded his head towards the sleeping infant in the little swing.
"I agree. I can't wait for his grandparents to see him and I'm sure Drew is excited right babe?" She turned to him.
"You got that right babe." Drew nodded as he pecked his future wife on the lips.
"Ah' young love, gotta love it." Jinder smiled at the young couple.
"How did you two meet?" Jinder was curious how Bless and Drew met each other.
"Through Stephen and the rest was all history." Drew spoke up proudly.
"Ste's a good friend. Drew here is a good man. You're lucky to have a nice lad like him." Jinder mentioned to Bless how lucky she was to have someone like Drew.
"He is and I'm lucky to have him too. He's the best thing to come in my life as well be the father of my children." Bless had to agree with the Canadian/Indian wrestler.
A few minutes later Alex began to cry.
Bless walked over to swing and unbuckled the belt before getting Alex.
"Hey buddy. What's the matter?" Bless asked softly as she picked the little infant up into her arms.
"Shhhh, it's okay honey. Mommy's here." She comforted him.
"Boy has a set of pipes on him. I think I know where he gets that from." Heath chuckled looking at Drew when he heard the little one cry after waking up from his deep slumber.
"Haha, laugh it up red." Drew told him with a mock glare but took it in stride.
"Are you hungry again baby?" Bless asked Alex if he wanted a bottle.
She grabbed a bottle from the fridge and heated it in the microwave before walking back in the living room with baby in tow.
"He looks so much like Drew. Gosh he's so tiny." Heath noticed how tiny Alex looked.
"I know. He's going to be a big boy though once he grows up." Bless smiled at her friend.
"That's for sure. I'd say he's definitely his father's son." Jinder mentioned that Alex had Drew's facial looks watching Bless feed Alex his bottle.
"How does it feel to be a dad of two?" The Canadian/Indian wrestler asked the Scot.
"It feels great to be honest. I love Cat and Alex with all my heart and soul. I would do anything for them." Drew sighed smiling happily at his and Bless' son and Jinder could see how happy the kids made him. He seemed like a great dad the way he doted over his son while Bless held him in her arms,
"I hope you don't mind me asking but is Cat adopted?"
"Yeah she is. We both adopted her and made her part of the family even though she's not ours biologically but in our hearts she is." Bless told him.
"She's one lucky little girl to have a great family like you and Drew to look out for her."
"We had lots of help from family and friends raise her and she's the most cutest little girl that we've fallen in love with. Even though she's just a toddler, she's very smart and bright." Bless smiled thinking about their daughter.
After they discussed about the tour and had bonding time, Bless invited Heath and Jinder for dinner as they accepted. The kids too got to spend some time with their uncles too while they were around.
