Abandoned Baby
Chapter 148
The next morning Bless was the first to get up from her deep slumber when she heard Alex crying next to her.
Getting up from bed, she was careful not to wake her slumbering fiance to tend to their son.
Walking over to the crib, She smiled tending to the infant.
"Hey there little man. What's wrong?" Bless asked Alex giving him a kiss on the forehead as she slowly picked him up.
"Are you hungry?" She asked him as she walked over to the chair to get a bottle she filled up the night before. Thankfully she remembered to pump that way she could feed him.
"Come on sweetie, let's go get your milk." The young mother smiled as she slipped on her slippers before making her way down with the little infant in her arms.
"Good morning dear. Surprised to see you up early." David smiled when he seen his future daughter-in-law with his grandson as he was sitting at the breakfast table with a cup of tea and his newspaper he laid on the table that he was reading when he heard her approach.
"Little Al here was hungry and needed a bottle." She smiled at her future father-in-law walking over the fridge to get Alex's milk before going to the microwave to heat it up.
"It's okay sweetie. Mommy knows you're hungry." Bless cooed to her little boy as he whimpered in her arms.
"That temper surely is from Drew." David chuckled once he heard the crying infant knowing it came from his son.
"So true but still he's a very good baby. Thankfully he doesn't cry much unless he's hungry, needs a change of diaper, or just cranky." Bless was glad Alex was a very good baby and wasn't much of a crier so he also had her personality.
Once the bottle was done being warmed up, she tested the temperature on her wrist before giving it to Alex while aiding him in holding it.
"Good boy baby." Bless smiled kissing Alex's forehead watching him take sips of his milk.
Bless grabbed the spit rag she had with her and placed it on her shoulder for later when she burped Alex after she fed him.
"Do you want anything to eat or drink dear while you're feeding Al?" David wanted to know if Bless was hungry or thirsty for anything.
"I think I'll just have bagel or toast with butter thanks." Bless told him what she wanted for breakfast.
"That's too little lass, why not have also eggs and bacon to go along with. You know you need to eat in able to have energy to run around with the babies." David knew Bless had to eat so she would have energy to tend to the two kids.
"Hmmm..I guess that'll work." She nodded even though she really wasn't too hungry plus he had a good point.
Are you allowed to have caffeine or just juice?" Her future father-in-law wanted to know if she wanted anything to drink with her meal.
"I'll just have juice if you have any in the fridge." Bless told him what she was going to drink.
David got right to cooking while Bless tended to the little one.
"So how are things with you and my son?" The older Scot asked his future daughter-in-law making conversation with her.
"We're doing good. The kids keep us busy at home and plus at work if I have to travel with Drew. When Drew is home, he loves spending equal time with the kids and myself and he loves being a dad." Bless told David how much Drew loved the kids and how he loved being a father and still got to spend time with her too.
"That's good to hear. It seems like fatherhood is treating him greatly." David was glad to hear Drew loved being a first time father and got used to it.
"I agree. Sometimes I stop and watch him and the kids. He's terrific with them." Bless smiled thinking of some of her favorite memories of her watching Drew spend time with either Cat or Alex.
"Are you to planning more grand kids after Alex?" David wanted to know with a smile hearing the great things about his son and future daughter-in-law.
"Maybe one more baby wouldn't hurt. I want another boy while Drew wants another girl to spoil like Cat." She giggled when she and Drew were talking about having another baby.
"I think it'll be great to have another girl in the family and Alex can look after his siblings. When Drew was a boy he was always so protective of Noelle. Those two are so close with each other to this day." David thought it would be nice to have another princess around the house.
"I can see how close Drew and Noelle are. They have a strong bond with each other. Cat already has so much love for her baby brother. She's such a good girl when she helps me and Drew take care of him so I think her and Alex will be close like Noelle and Drew." Bless knew Cat and Alex would have a strong bond with each other since Catherine loved helping her and Drew with the baby.
"That's good to have a close bond and they can look out for each other. Thankfully she's not jealous of the new baby." David was quite glad to hear Cat got along with her baby brother and gave her attention to the baby once he was born.
"Thankfully she's not. She's very attentive when it comes to her baby brother. Drew and I try to spend equal time with each kids that way they both get our love and attention." Bless explained to David how she and Drew tried to spend time with both Catherine and Alex.
David loved hearing what Bless told him and it seemed like things were working out for her and his son. They worked well together like a team and he respected her more now that they were getting back on track of getting back together to make the relationship work.
"Hey buddy. You finished and ready to be burped?" Bless asked Alex putting him over her shoulder after he finished his bottle.
"Good morning Sweets." Theresa greeted her future daughter-in-law with a smile as she came down when she smelled breakfast when she seen her husband cooking.
"Good Morning Mom." Bless greeted Theresa with a warm smile as she continued to pat Alex's back.
"Good Morning love." Theresa greeted her husband good morning walking over to him giving him a kiss.
"Good Morning my love. You look beautiful this morning." David greeted his wife with a smile and a peck to the lips and complimented her.
"Such a charmer." She smiled as she grabbed a mug to pour coffee in.
"I try."He chuckled with a sweet smile.
Bless couldn't help but admire her in laws. They were so much like her and Drew when they were in love.
"Alex up early this morning?" Theresa asked about her grandson.
"Yup he was hungry and wanted a bottle and he just finished it." Bless told Theresa Alex just had his bottle and now was burping him.
"Good boy hon." Bless giggled as she heard Alex burp and wiped his mouth with the spit rag once he spit up a little.
"He's such a well behaved baby when he's quiet." Theresa noticed the little infant was quiet.
"I know. I'm glad he is aren't you sweetheart?" Bless cooed giving Alex a kiss on the cheek.
"Here's your breakfast dear. Eat up while it's still hot." David gave Bless a plate of toast, bagel with eggs and bacon.
"Thank you pop pop." Bless smiled as she smelled the wonderful home cooked meal David made.
Bless put Alex down in his swing chair and buckled him up next to her that way she could eat her breakfast.
"You're welcome my dear. I'll get your juice." He went over to the fridge to get her something to drink and grabbed a mug to pour it in before handing it to her.
A few minutes later Drew had just woken up and had Catherine against his hip as she was sucking on her thumb and had a smile on her face when she seen her mommy.
"Mama hi." The little one year old smiled.
"Hey there's my little girl. Good morning darling. Did you sleep good?" Bless smiled when she seen her fiance walk over and greet her with a kiss before putting the little girl down beside her mother as the little angel hugged her mommy
"Yeah." The little girl smiled her toothy smile sitting on her mommy's lap.
"She woke up after I did and knew you had to be up early tending to Alex." Drew told his fiance sitting beside her after making his coffee his mother had made.
"You hungry baby doll?" Her mother asked her daughter if she wanted to eat while she ate.
"Yeah." The little girl nodded.
"You want a piece of my bagel or do you want cereal with bananas with juice?" Her mother asked if Catherine if she wanted to eat.
"Otay." Catherine said as Bless broke a piece of the soft bread of the bagel giving it to Cat who ate it.
"Nom nom." Catherine giggled licking her lips as she ate it.
"That's yummy huh?" She asked the one year old.
"Nom nom." Catherine giggled again.
Bless broke another small piece of bagel bread and had Catherine eat it as they shared the bagel together.
"Do you want to try my egg sweetie?" Bless asked her daughter if she wanted to try a piece of her sunny side up eggs.
"Tay." Catherine smiled at her mommy as Bless cut off a piece of the white egg and fed it to Cat who took a bite as Bless smiled hoping she'd like it.
"Nommy." Catherine liked it.
"Grandpa made it himself too." Bless told her that Cat made the eggs.
"You want juice baby?" Drew asked his daughter if she wanted a drink while eating with her mom.
"Appwe." She told him she wanted her apple juice.
"Let me just get your sippy cup and put apple in it." He knew that Cat loved apple juice to drink as he got the sippy cup from her bag before popping the lid open and getting her juice from the fridge pouring it in her pink and purple sippy cup before closing the lid and putting the juice back in the fridge.
"Here you go lass." Drew handed Cat her juice before she took it and drank some of it before he sat back down and had breakfast too that his father made for everyone now that they were just getting up.
"Cat seems to like to try anything new." Theresa noticed when Bless gave her the egg and bagel.
"Yeah she does and she's not much of a fussy eater. Anything I have her try she would like it or see if she'll eat it before serving it to her." Bless told her future mother-in-law Catherine liked different things that she had her try to eat now that she was getting used to eating solid foods.
"It's good to have her start trying out different stuff. That's the way I was too when Drew and Noelle were babies as well." Theresa could relate to Bless when she raised her son and daughter.
"Mama, bagel." Catherine told her.
"Okay sweetie." Bless told her daughter getting a piece of bread from her bagel to feed Catherine.
She smiled watching the little one sway on her lap as she ate a piece of her mother's bagel before taking a sip of her juice.
"She loves to eat." David chuckled watching his granddaughter eat with her mom.
"Yeah she does right angel?" Her mother told her giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"Yeah nom nom." Catherine giggled loving to eat what her mommy gave her.
"I'm glad you like it baby. You're such a good girl." David let his granddaughter know with a smile.
"Hi Aunty Noee." Catherine smiled at her future auntie seeing her come down the stairs.
"Good morning lovely." The young teenager greeted her soon to be niece with a smile.
"Good morning dear. How did you sleep?" Theresa greeted her daughter who was dressed in a purple tank top and blue jeans on and her hair down after she had just taken a shower.
"I slept okay, I had a few interesting dreams." She smiled as she made her way over to the cupboard to get a mug before walking over to the coffee maker to get herself some coffee.
"There's breakfast on the table if you're hungry." Her dad told her there was food on the table if she wanted to eat.
"Thanks dad." She smiled just getting herself a bagel and popped it in the toaster to heat up.
After her bagel was toasted, Noelle sat by her brother and spread the cream cheese over her bagels.
"What are your plans for today hon?" Theresa asked her youngest daughter after breakfast.
"Actually Lee is treating me out to a lunch date later so we may go out together after he gets off his shift from work and possibly walk around town just to spend together and I think he said we may go to the movies to end our night unless Drew has plans for us so we'll have to see what we're doing." Noelle explained that she and Lee had plans unless Drew had other plans for the whole family to go out.
"Actually I have a house show tonight so Shtu will come pick me up and was going to invite you guys to see the show so if you and Lee want to go out and see it. I have two extra tickets for you guys to go if you two aren't busy going to the movies." Drew told his baby sister he had two extra tickets he had in his pocket if she and Lee wanted to see him wrestle.
"Oh Drew, REALLY?!"His sister squeaked excited that she got to see her brother wrestle again.
"Yup I do. You and Lee can also go backstage and meet the guys and gals plus Bless and the kids will be accompanying me to the show since I'm taking them." He told them that they could also go backstage to meet everybody after the show. Bless and the kids were going too.
"Awesome, thanks bro. I may have to tell Lee. He'll be so happy since he loves WWE." The young teen was excited she got to join her family to join the show and be in front row to watch him wrestle.
"I'm sure you kids will have fun. You enjoy yourselves because you deserve it plus hon you've worked so hard lately with your studies so you deserve a reward." Theresa told her daughter to enjoy with Lee to watch Drew wrestle and spend more time with her big brother.
"Thank you mum. I love you so much." The 19 year old beamed as she got up and hugged her mother.
"I love you too sweets." Her mom giggled knowing her daughter deserved a well needed break and spend time with her boyfriend, brother, and Bless along with the kids.
"Dad, can I go, pretty please?" Noelle asked her dad giving him the puppy eyes.
"Oh, those puppy eyes. Okay, you can go sweetheart. Just mind your big brother and Bless alright." David chuckled telling his youngest she could go to the show to see her brother.
"Alright, thanks dad. I love you." Noelle giggled as she went to hug him from behind.
"Love ya too dear." He smiled kissing her cheek.
"Your mother and I may go out tonight for dinner and dancing so you kids enjoy yourselves." David told his kids he and his mother were going out on a dinner date and have a dance night with friends while they were all out if they happened to look for them once they got home late that way they wouldn't have to worry.
"If Lee has any other plans tonight, tell him to cancel it and come to the show as your date." Drew told his baby sister giving her the tickets.
"Thanks big brother. Love you. I'll go call him now and tell him. You're the best." Noelle beamed hugging her older sibling from behind.
"I love you too baby girl." Drew let his baby sister know with a smile.
"Actually thank Bless. She and I talked it over lastnight for you and Lee to come to the show to sit front row and get VIP to go backstage and plus you've worked so hard in school I think you deserve a little reward for a job well done lil' sis. You've made me so proud." Drew was proud of his little sister's accomplishments in her studies so he and Bless decided to get her and Lee tickets to come out to the show especially when she had break to come see him wrestle since it had been such a long time.
"Thank you Bless. You're the best sister a girl could ever ask for. I love you." The brunette smiled at her future sister-in-law.
"You're welcome sweetie. I love you too. You deserve this chance to come see the show plus you can be with me and the kids backstage after watching your brother wrestle." Bless smiled at the young teen.
Noelle finished eating her breakfast and finished the coffee she had made at the table before putting the dishes in the sink and went to go call her boyfriend to tell him the great news about going to the show.
After the family finished eating, Bless helped Theresa wash the dishes and spent time with the kids that afternoon before preparing for the house show that evening.
