Abandoned Baby
Chapter 145
The next morning Bless got up from bed and looked over to find a cold spot next to her and looked at the clock which read 6:45AM. She wondered where Drew was as she got up from bed.
She softly yawned and ran her fingers through her long hair before grabbing the baby monitor in case she heard Cat or Alex wake up to go outside to see Drew was outside sitting with the guys such as Stephen (Sheamus) and Stu (Wade) talking softly to one another while Heath was now the driver and PJ (Justin) was with him.
"Hey."She greeted the guys good morning.
All three heads popped up to see Bless approach them as she sat with her fiance.
"Good morning sunshine." Drew greeted his fiance in his gruffy Scottish accent and smiled at her placing an arm around her waist.
"What are you guys doing up so early?" She asked them as she put the baby monitor on the table while sitting beside Drew.
"Nothing much baby. None of us men couldn't really sleep so we're up this morning discussing men stuff." Drew reassured her that he was hanging with the boys.
"I woke up and you were gone." She playfully pouted at him.
"I'm sorry baby. I'll make it up to you later okay?" The Scot apologized kissing the crown of her head.
"Okay." She nodded intertwining his fingers along with her's.
"There's some tea on the stove if you want anything to drink darling." The Brit told her he left her some chamomile tea he had made for her.
"Thanks Stuart. That is really sweet." She smiled at him.
"How long till our stop in Washington?" She asked the men how long the trip was before they got to Washington state.
"Maybe another four to five hours at most if we don't get stuck in traffic." Ste (Sheamus) estimated the time till they got to their next tour stop unless they got stuck in traffic then maybe it would take longer.
"Sounds good. We might as well stop for breakfast somewhere before we get to Washington." She suggested that they should make a pit stop somewhere to eat before they got to their destination.
"Peej says we may stop at IHOP later on in our next pit stop plus we need gas for the bus soon." The Brit said knowing they were almost running low on gas so the South African promised they would get gas to fill up and eat before they got to Washington.
"Sounds like a good idea. Do you guys have any radio interviews or anything to do before the show tonight?" Bless asked them if they had anything important to do to promote their shows before they headed out for the international tour they were looking forward to in a week.
"I think I have a radio interview in Washington at two to promote Raw and Smackdown, work out for a lil' bit at the gym, and then head to the arena by 5 to warm up, and bell time at 6:30. Stephen has a Make A Wish meeting I think also today at I think you said 3:15 with one of the kids if I'm right?" Stu turned to his Irish friend when the Irish Hooligan mentioned it to him.
"Yup Stu is right. I too have to go to Make A Wish meet and greet today to meet with one of the kids at 3:15 until 4:30 so I have to be there before that time and probably head out to Gold's Gym by the arena to work out before bell time at 6:30 and I dunno I might stay this time for the end of the show in case they need me for main event and meet up to travel with Punk and Kofi whichever they decide if you guys leave early so it's really up to however the show will end up tonight as well." Ste guessed what he was going to do for the rest of the day after the show tonight.
"Sounds like a good day for you guys." Bless knew the guys were going to be busy and yet have a good day today for the show.
"Drew, you planning anything for the day babe?" She now turned to her fiance.
"Hmmm...it depends all on Heath and Yusev (Jinder) so I might hang out with them to see what they plan on doing for the day when we get there. I know you're going to be extra busy too baby so I don't know if you need me to help you with anything including with the kids." Drew knew Bless was going to be also busy working and tending to the kids plus he wasn't sure if he needed to help her with anything since he was going to be busy too hanging out with the guys before the show.
"I think I be around doing stuff in the arena if anyone needs help with anything extra such as set up the ring, timing the shows, doing production work behind the scenes, working on scripts and other stuff so I'll still see how the day goes after dropping the kids off at day care." Bless shrugged not sure what she would be doing after dropping the kids off at day care but knowing she was going to be busy doing extra stuff when they got to Washington.
"Baby, are you sure you're going to be able to handle all that load, that's got to be stressful and don't want to you to be working too strenuously." Drew hoped she didn't work herself to death knowing Bless had a lot to deal with on her plate plus taking care of the kids was another thing to worry about that she was going to wear herself sick if she was going to handle so much and there was so much one person could do.
"Honey, I can take care of myself plus I just don't want to sit around all day doing nothing." Bless reassured her fiance she could take any challenge that was thrown at her.
"Babe, I'm just looking out for you and don't want to see you get sick if it gets too much. You need to give yourself a break once in a while." The Scot knew she was able to take on anything but didn't want to see her stressed out after a full day job that she had to handle.
"I know. I promise if things get too hectic I'll slow down just for you okay?" She suggested as she grabbed his left hand and rubbed it with her thumb to reassure him she would take it easy if things got too stressful.
"Ah' true love. How do you guys compromise stuff without fighting?" The Preston native wondered looking at the two who sat together.
"We try to work things with each other. Both of us could be stubborn but we tend to make things work with one another." Bless told the Brit across from her.
"I don't know how my wife does it but we could compromise with each other when it comes to the little things." Drew chuckled as he embraced his future wife beside him.
"No wonder the two of you make such a great couple. At least you two worked your differences and it seems like you two never broke up from the get go." Stephen was happy for them that the couple was able to work things out with one another and it seemed like they never broke up eversince after Bless left with the kids. They were like a match made in heaven.
"Stephen is right. I've never seen you two just so happy and content with each other. I swear it's like you two are like a married couple without any problems." Stu (Wade) had to agree with his colleague that he loved seeing Drew and Bless happy.
"I'm glad you guys are happy for us. We too can't wait to get married in a few months. Drew just makes me so happy and I have my soulmate plus we have the kids so we're officially a family." Bless was glad the men were happy for her and Drew and she couldn't ask for anything more.
"So, are you two planning anymore kids after Alexander?" Stu asked them if they wanted more kids.
"Drew wants one more baby, a girl this time after Alex. I want another boy though." Bless giggled telling him that Drew wanted another one with her. He wanted a girl while she wanted another boy.
"Drew, are you sure you want to knock up your girl again?" Ste chuckled teasing his best friend.
"What's wrong with one more baby, I love kids especially plus I want a girl especially like Catherine to spoil." Drew smiled that he would love have another baby with Bless especially another little princess.
"I think it would be pretty cool if you two had another boy at least he can look after his siblings especially Catherine." The Preston native hoped they had another boy and at least he could look after Alex and Catherine and he would be protective of them.
"You too Shtu, I want a girl this time. I already have Al even though I love him." Drew chuckled thinking he and Bless thought the same.
"On the bright side bud when it comes to boys they'll love football (soccer),rugby, and wrestling like us." Stu quipped knowing having a son he could hang out loving football, rugby, and wrestling like they did plus it was in their blood.
"You got that right. My little girl though loves it too especially when she gets to see her favorite uncles and me on tv and I think you guys got her into the action of football and rugby as well." Drew added about Catherine loving watching him and the guys wrestling on tv plus Justin and the guys introduced her to rugby when she was little.
"That's true. We did get her into it when she was a wee little one." Stu remembered when he and the guys babysat Cat for the first time and she learned to love it.
"Speaking of Cat, I think that's her on the baby monitor. I better go see if she's up and wants a bottle." Bless heard Catherine was awake as she heard Catherine whine a little bit through the sound system of the baby monitor as she stood up.
"Do you need any help with her baby?" Drew asked getting up with her.
"I got it sweetie. I'm sure Catty is just hungry." Bless reassured her that she had everything under control.
Bless went into the room and saw Catherine standing up in her playpen and reaching her arms out for her.
"Hey there sweet girl. Did you sleep good?" Bless smiled walking over to the small itty bitty girl and kissed her good morning as she picked her up.
"Mama." Catherine murmured cuddling close to her.
"Do you want your baba?" Her mommy asked her if she wanted a bottle.
"Baba." Catherine mumbled to her.
"Let's go get you a bottle." She smiled as she walked out with her daughter in her arms to go to the mini kitchen to go get her a bottle.
After Bless got out a bottle from the fridge, she heated up just to make it warm and tested it on her wrist making sure it was warm enough before giving it to Catherine who drank it while Bless helped hold onto the bottle.
"Hey there little princess. Look whose awake and bright eyed." Stu smiled seeing his niece awake in her mommy's arms.
"Hey little lass. Good morning." Stephen too greeted the small little girl in Bless' arms.
"Ah' my favorite little girl. You're awake early." Drew chuckled seeing his daughter in Bless' arms.
"Baby girl is awake early and wanted a bottle right muffin?" Bless asked sitting Catherine on her lap while feeding her.
"Ma!" Catherine squeaked happily against her bottle.
"Yeah you just wanted mommy to hold you didn't ya sweet girl?" Bless giggled teasing her daughter who smiled cutely up at her and brushed some of her hair back.
"She's definitely a mommy's girl I see." The British brawler smiled at the young woman and daughter.
"She is and I love her for it." She agreed while holding the little toddler.
"Mama baba." Catherine told her she wanted more milk.
"Okay sweetie." Bless smiled as she tilted the bottle a little more that Cat was able to drink the rest of her milk.
After Bless finished feeding Cat her bottle, she burped her and changed her diaper with Drew's help.
"Honey, do you want to spend time with dada while mommy works for awhile?" Bless asked Catherine if she wanted to spend time with her daddy since she had to work this morning.
"Mama." Catherine whined not wanting her mommy to leave her.
"Awww sweetie, you don't want to spend time with daddy and your uncles and you'd rather spend time with me?" Bless smiled telling her daughter.
"Lass, don't you want to be with me and your Uncle Shtu and Uncle Ste today?" Drew playfully pouted at his daughter and knew she was clingy when she was close to Bless.
"Mama..."Catherine cried telling Bless not to leave her clinging to her.
"Okay, I won't leave you then sweetie. You promise to be a good girl though if I set you in your playpen and put cartoons on while I work today?" Bless suggested that to her little girl.
"Tay." Catherine smiled at Bless as she kissed Catherine's head and hugged her.
"Seems like someone is clingy with mommy." Stephen laughed knowing Cat was a mommy's girl and not much of a daddy's girl the way the little girl wanted her mommy.
"Mama." Catherine giggled happily in Bless' arms.
"Tomorrow you're all mine half pint since you know your mummy will be busy so you get to spend time with me okay." Drew made a deal with Catherine that she got to spend time with him too.
"Otay." Catherine smiled at him crawling over to her daddy and hugging him around the waist even though she tried understanding him.
"Awww...thank you butterfly. You make me smile you know that." Drew smiled as he laid a kiss on his favorite little girl and snuggled her close to him.
"Wuv yew." The little toddler said to Drew as she smiled up at him.
"I love you too lass. Always and forever." He swore to her giving her a little eskimo kiss.
"Nana." Catherine told Drew she wanted fruit that was on the table.
"You want fruit butterfly?" Drew asked her if she was still hungry.
"Nana." She repeated.
"Okay, hold on." Drew smiled getting a banana from the basket and peeled it for her.
"Honey, make sure to slice some of the pieces that way she can eat it all." Bless reminded Drew watching him interact with their daughter.
"I will babe." Drew remembered that Catherine usually liked her food into bite sized pieces that way she ate it all.
"Here you go babydoll." The Scot fed a piece of banana to Cat as he broke off a small piece to feed to her.
"Nom nom." She giggled eating the piece of banana she was given.
"That's good huh?" Stu chuckled watching the little girl eat a piece of banana her dad gave her.
"Nom nom." She repeated for yummy as she smiled brightly.
"Good girl honey." Bless was happy to see Catherine eating some fruit and she liked it.
"Nana." Catherine told her daddy she wanted more.
"Alright, here's another piece." Drew fed another small piece to Catherine as she took it from him and bit into it.
"Nom nom." She giggled loving it as she licked her lips as her parents laughed at how cute she was.
"Do you want another one lass?" Her daddy asked her if she wanted another piece watching her finish the previous piece she had eaten.
"Nana." She mumbled wanting more of the banana that he had on him.
"Here you go lass." Drew smiled as she swayed on his lap while eating the piece he had given her.
"She likes it." Bless giggled watching her daughter eat the banana.
"Yeah she does." Drew agreed with her watching Cat eat another slice he had given her.
"It it yummy baby?" Her mommy asked if Cat liked the banana.
"Nom nom." Catherine smiled liking it.
"Seems like someone is into fruit now." Stephen came back after he went to go to talk to PJ (Justin) up front if he wanted to switch being navigator when they made the next pit stop when he seen his niece with her parents.
"Yeah she is. This is the first time she's eaten a fruit." The Scot told his fellow colleague.
"Hey there lass. You likin' the banana huh?" The Irish brawler asked Catherine who looked happy and content as she was eating.
"Yea!" Catherine chimed with a smile.
After the little toddler finished eating and spend some time with Drew, Bless brought her back to the room with her putting Cat in the playpen while putting on some cartoons for her while she worked on her laptop for the day and the guys spent their guy time outside.
"Mama, me want out." Catherine told her she wanted out of the playpen.
"Honey, you have to stay in there for a little bit since I'm working. Can you be a good girl until I finish?" Bless asked her daughter if she could sit and watch cartoons till she finished what she was doing.
"Otay." Catherine understood Bless even though she wanted to spend time with her mommy.
"When I'm finished, I promise to spend time with you." Her mommy swore she would spend time with her once she was done.
Drew came back to the room to see Bless on her laptop away at work with scripts and such and Catherine was holding Cubby while watching cartoons from the playpen and Alex was asleep peacefully in his swing.
"Hey there little one. Are you bored?" Drew asked Catherine since she looked like she wanted to get out of her playpen.
"Me want out..." Catherine pouted reaching her arms out to him for Drew to carry her.
"Awwww...Come here you." Drew got the baby out of her playpen and let her spend time with him.
"Babe, we're gonna stop for gas and breakfast soon." The Scot let Bless know that they were going out soon before they hit Washington.
"Alright. Sounds good. I'm gonna finish up some stuff then get dressed and join you guys soon." She looked up to see Drew cuddling Catherine as she was snuggling up into him contently.
"Do you want to get dressed baby?" Drew asked Cat what she wanted to wear.
The baby yawned in his arms and cuddled him as he gently smiled and kissed her head.
"I'll get her dressed baby. I think I have some clothes I remember that Carla made for her." Bless told Drew that she would get Cat dressed since she had so many clothes for the little girl she hand made.
"Are you sure because I know how busy you are sweets." The Scottish man knew how busy his fiance was and would take care of their little one.
"If you want to have her dressed, her clothes are in her Hello Kitty book bag." Bless let him know where Cat's clothes were.
"Alright. I think I can get her ready babe that way you wouldn't have to worry." Drew walked over to the bag where everything was that Cat could wear.
"Thanks hon." Bless smiled sweetly at him thankful he wanted to help her while she was finishing what she was doing.
"Come on princess, let's get you dressed." Drew smiled as he grabbed Cat's bag and rummaged through it to see what she wanted to wear.
The Chosen one opened the bag and seen Cat had some dresses, sweaters, t-shirts, pants, jeans, pj's, cute little socks, and ribbons.
"Lass, do you like white and pink?" Her daddy asked her showing Cat the small white t-shirt with a pink Hello Kitty stitch logo on it with jean pants to match with her outfit.
"Yea." Catherine nodded that she liked what Drew picked out for her.
"Okay then. What about these socks or these colored one's, just point out what you want and daddy will put it on you." Drew told her just to point to the socks that she wanted to wear with her outfit.
"That." Catherine pointed to the plain white socks.
"Good choice."
"Hmmm...ribbons, do you want your hair in a ponytail or do you want to leave it down like mom?"
"Mama." Catherine told him that she liked her hair down and curly.
"Let's get you dressed then we'll go out with the guys to eat."
After Drew changed Catherine, she sat on his hip and got to sit outside with the guys while Bless finished what she needed to do with work then got Alex and herself ready to go out as well.
"Dada toons." Catherine smiled as he had cartoons on for her to watch.
"You enjoying it butterfly?" He asked her seeing the happy look on her face while waiting for Bless and Alex.
"Yea." She giggled as she sat on his lap.
"Hey little one. You ready to spend time with me and Uncle Rock band?" PJ (Justin) was happy to see his niece.
"Unca Woofie!" Catherine squeaked happy to see her favorite Uncle as he picked her up and gave her a kiss on the forehead.
"Seems like someone is happy to see me." The South African man chuckled taking the little girl from her daddy.
"She loves you wolf man." Drew could see how much his daughter adored the South African high flier.
"Honey, make sure Cat has her jacket and bonnet on, I don't want her catching a cold." Bless reminded her hubby as she was out putting Alex's jacket on and his little hat.
"Jus, can you get Cat's jacket and bonnet and help put it on?" Drew asked his friend a favor if he could help it on.
"Sure." PJ didn't mind helping his niece.
"Here you go shorty, put this on since it's cold out." The high flier helped put on her jacket and zipped her up and last put on her pink little bonnet.
"Tank." (Thanks). Catherine smiled.
"No problem sweet thing. You want me to carry you?" He asked if she wanted him to carry her on his shoulders.
"Yea!" She squeaked as he did so as Drew and Bless smiled at each other seeing how happy PJ was to spend time with Cat.
The couple stepped out of the bus with their son while Stu was filling up the gas tank, the rest of the crew walked over to the restaurant across the street while the Brit was going to follow them once he was finished filling up the tank.
Once they got inside after waiting for Stu, they waited till they were seated. When the waitress came up to them, she asked how many Bless answered how many and they were shown to their seat.
"Could I request a booster seat for my daughter please?" Bless requested the waitress for Catherine.
"Sure I'll be right back." The waitress softly smiled at Bless as she went to go get a seat for the little one.
Once the waitress returned, she put the booster seat in for Cat.
"Okay little one, I'm gonna buckle you in okay?" The young mother told Cat as she nodded.
"Otay mama." Catherine understood as she sat by her mommy while Alex was in his carrier on her right side and beside Drew too.
The group had a great time making small talk while having breakfast and PJ (Justin) shared his chocolate chip pancakes with Catherine which was her favorite.
After breakfast, the guys chose who drove next and Drew decided he would take a turn at the wheel to give the guys a break and Heath would stay up with him and then during the evening driving back Stu would take back over the wheel while Drew would stay up with him as the navigator till they got to the hotel after the show.
PJ and Stu who were still up kept the kids occupied while Bless returned to her work that she needed to do until they got to the arena in Washington that following afternoon.
