Abandoned Baby
Chapter 150
When the family got home, Lee and Noelle had gone up to bed after an exciting evening at the arena while Drew and Bless also headed up for his room to put the babies to bed before going to bed themselves.
"Mama..." Catherine cried tiredly in her arms.
"Shhhh, it's okay baby, mama's here." Bless consoled the little one stroking her back gently as she took off her jacket putting it to the side.
The little toddler whimpered in her arms as Bless was trying to make her feel better.
"I know you're sleepy baby." Her mommy told her softly as she was undressing Cat and changing her diaper before putting a new one on with a new set of pj's.
"Honey, can you throw away Cat's diaper while I'm putting on her pj's?" The raven haired beauty asked her fiance if he could throw away Cat's dirty diaper for her since she was changing Cat into her new pj's after putting a new diaper on.
"Sure sweetie." Drew didn't mind as Bless gave Cat her pink and white pacifier which calmed the little sleepy toddler.
The young mom picked up her daughter walking around with her as she cuddled her to get her back to sleep.
"Is Catty okay?" Drew asked as he walked out of the bathroom to see Bless walking around with their daughter after he finished putting Alex down and threw away the dirty diaper.
"Yeah she's fine. I'm just putting her back to sleep after she just woke up." She reassured that Cat was okay after Cat woke up cranky.
After Cat fell back asleep in her arms, Bless smiled and kissed her daughter.
She carefully placed the little toddler in the middle of the bed covering her with the blankets including her baby blanket and placed Cubby, her stuffed dog in her arms.
Drew carefully slipped in bed beside his daughter after he changed into a t-shirt and sweat pants as he wrapped his arm around their daughter and patted her back softly.
Bless too changed into a set of pj's and smiled when she seen Drew on his elbow on the bed with their daughter patting her back gently as she was cuddled close to him.
She slipped in bed with a smile and planted a kiss on their daughter's head.
"Good night sweetie. I love you." Bless told Catherine softly.
"She's finally asleep."Drew smiled telling his fiance that Catherine was calm and deep asleep.
"Yeah she is plus she was cranky earlier and I think you patting her back also helped." She told him softly with a smile.
"I think we better get some shut eye. I know we're both tired too after the show." Drew yawned sleepily feeling tired after the show and saw how tired his fiance looked too.
"Yeah you're right plus Al will soon be up for a feeding in the middle of the night if he wakes up." She agreed since she knew their son too would wake up to feed him if he woke up later.
"Good night hon. I love you." Drew gave his fiance a kiss.
"Good night sweetie. I love you too." Bless smiled softly at him after breaking their kiss as she faced him while also holding their daughter. The two finally fell asleep slumber that evening as soon as their heads hit the pillow.
The next morning Bless was the first to get up when she saw Drew's side of the bed was empty and Cat was nowhere to be seen as well as Alex. Getting up from bed, she changed into a pink sweatshirt and pajama track pants and made the bed before slipping on her slippers on to make her way out of the room to make her way downstairs to hear chattering from the kitchen.
Walking to the kitchen, she seen David reading a newspaper and sipping tea, Theresa was with Catherine who was with her helping making pancakes and waffles, Drew was feeding their son his bottle, Noelle and Lee were sitting at the table talking about various stuff they were possibly doing for the day.
"Good morning." Bless greeted her family.
"Good morning sunshine." Drew greeted his fiance good morning when he heard her beautiful voice.
"How long have you been up?" She asked him.
"About an hour or two. I woke up when Cat and Al woke me up so we decided to be up early for breakfast. I didn't wake to wake you since you looked so peaceful." He told her with a soft smile.
"Thank you for letting me sleep in." She smiled feeling relaxed.
"Hon, there's coffee or tea if you want anything to drink." Theresa told her there was something for her to drink.
"Thanks mom. That's so sweet." Bless walked over to the coffee maker to grab herself some fresh brewed coffee before walking over to the table to the table to get some stuff to mix with her coffee.
"Honey, you having a good time helping Nanna?" Bless asked her daughter who was helping Theresa put the syrup and the berries on the food as Theresa told the little one how may berries she should put on each.
"Yeah. She's a very good girl and such a good helper." Theresa giggled loved spending time with her precious granddaughter who was giggling along with her as her grandmother also gave her a small berry to taste.
Theresa giggled as the little one made a little face for yummy knowing the berry was sweet.
"She likes it." The older woman told her future daughter-in-law loved the blueberry she fed her daughter.
"Yeah she does. Is it yummy baby?" Bless giggled watching them together.
"Nom nom." Catherine squeaked with a sweet giggle in her grandmother's arms.
"Does she help you at home when it comes to making breakfast?" Her grandmother asked Bless if Cat usually helped her.
"Yeah she does and she's my little taste tester. She loves helping me as long as I help her." Bless told Theresa how she would sit with Catherine to taste test the food she handed to her while Catherine sat to help her as long as her mother was with her.
"It's good you get to spend time with the little one. She must enjoy it." Theresa knew how close her and Cat must have been when they were together at home.
"Cat loves spending time with me especially when it comes to taking care of the baby too. I would ask her to get specific things and she would come with the right one. She's so smart and bright for a one year old. I love her to bits. She loves being the big sister and little lady in charge." Bless told her future mother-in-law how much Cat loved being in charge of her baby brother and being the little lady of the house.
"No complaints from her whenever Drew is gone all the time on the road?" Theresa wondered if Catherine looked for Drew.
"Not too much. Once in a while she would ask where daddy is and I tell her he's working but she seems to understand. She gets to watch him on tv though. She gets a kick out of his gimmick though. Her and I crack up on most nights because he and his friends have this rock band gimmick so her and I tend to stay up just to watch them." The young woman told her mom how she and Catherine would get a kick out of Drew's gimmick and Catherine would giggle because her daddy did something funny along with the guys.
"Well I have to be entertaining baby plus I'm glad you gals get a laugh out of it." Drew spoke up glad they were entertained by him, Heath, and Jinder.
"It's not a bad thing baby plus we enjoy that we get to see you and the guys on tv as if you never left us." Bless told him that she and Cat enjoyed watching them as if they never left and they got to see them.
After Theresa cooked, she had Catherine sitting with Bless and Drew to eat.
"Any way how was the show last night kids?" Theresa asked her youngest daughter.
"It was so much fun mum. Drew was pretty entertaining to say. He and his friends a riot." Noelle giggled telling her mom how much she and Lee enjoyed the show and glad she got to see her brother wrestle along with his friends even though their gimmick was pretty funny she had to admit.
"We even got to meet some of their friends last night and got their autographs." Lee told her they got autographs from their favorite superstars and divas backstage after the show.
"I even got to see Stu again. He got tall!" The young brunette told her how tall the Brit was compared to her. He over towered her with his 6'1" frame.
"Ah' the young handsome lad. How is he?" Theresa asked how her second "son" was.
"He's doing good. Still best friends with Drew and Stephen and some of the other guys." Her youngest explained to her mom he was still best friends with her brother and the Irish man along with some other guys.
"It's good that they keep in touch after all they did train together since they were young lads." Theresa was happy to hear the three always kept in touch since she knew the boys were close ever since they trained together.
"That's true mum. Us three are still close." Drew agreed with his mother and glad to have his best buds and got to travel with them from time to time. Stu and Stephen were like older brother's to him and looked up to them and they always looked out for him as well.
"Mmmmm...is that yummy baby girl?" Bless asked Catherine spoon feeding her small cuts of pancake.
"Nom nom." Catherine smiled enjoying the food.
"You want grape or apple juice?" Her mommy asked her what she wanted to drink.
"Gwape." (Grape) Her daughter told her.
"Okay, let mama get you some juice and put it in your sippy cup." Bless walked over to the fridge to get some juice putting it in Catherine's cup.
She walked back over to her daughter and let her sip some of her juice while she ate.
"After breakfast, what do we plan on doing today babe?" Bless asked her fiance since they were staying two weeks with his parents and his sister in the house.
"Maybe we could go out exploring out of town if that's what you want to do hon unless you want to stay home and bond more with mum and Noelle. I also was going to see maybe I could go horseback riding later. I haven't been able to do that since I was a boy." Drew told her what they could do for the day or if Bless wanted to stay home and bond with his family more and he was planning to maybe go out and go to the stables to go horseback riding since it had been a long time he wanted to do that.
"That sounds like a fun thing to do. I think you should have your alone time while I can stay here and maybe us women can go out and do something with the kids." Bless thought it would be a good idea for him to have some alone time and have his own man time while she could think of some things to do to keep herself busy along with her future mother and sister-in-law with the children.
"I could come and check on you and the kids when I get done for the day because I know you should spend more time with mum and the family now that you're here for two weeks and get to know them more since you and I will be getting married pretty soon." Drew knew his fiance would love to bond more with the women and talk about wedding plans and all that since he and Bless were going to get married soon.
"I think I would like that. I have a few ideas I have in mind I think for our future wedding when we have it in church." Bless told Drew she had a few ideas in mind what she would love to do for their wedding.
Drew was glad to know his fiance would love spending more time with his family and getting to know them more. He could tell his family loved her to bits too including the kids.
After breakfast, Drew decided to go out and try out horseback riding while the girls were talking wedding plans while David was in the den spending time with both his new grandchildren. He told them different kind of stories when he used to be a boy and what he used to do in life and what their father (Drew) did too as a boy. Catherine would ask him questions and he would answer her questions about her daddy. He even showed Catherine different pics he had of Drew as a boy and she could tell Alex would look so much like him at that age when he grew up.
"Dada small." Catherine mentioned seeing the pic of Drew when he was a tiny boy.
"Yeah he was small at that time. He was just starting out in elementary school and he had a uniform on then." Her grandfather showed her as she and her brother sat on his lap.
"Mama wuv dada." Catherine told her grandfather that her mom loved her dad very much.
"I could tell lass. She has that sparkle in her eyes that your grandmother had when she and I met like she met your dad. Your mum is something special I tell ya. I could also tell how much your dad loves your mum very very much. He was so much like me growing up." David could tell how much his son loved Bless in his heart. He was so much like him in a way growing up. Drew was so much like him when he met Theresa when she was much younger like Bless was now.
"Do you tink mama and dad live happily ever after grandpa?" Catherine asked her grandfather if she would see her mom and dad live happily ever after just like in her books her mom read her.
"I think so lass. I could see them together like me and Nanna." David had to agree with his young granddaughter that he could see Drew and Bless married and be happy.
"Me hope so too. Me wuv mama and dada very much. Don't want dada hurt mommy again. I sad when she cry." Catherine agreed. She loved them very much and didn't want to see her dad hurt her mommy or make her cry.
"I know what you mean sweetpea. I hope he doesn't either." He agreed with her and could tell she was hurt when her daddy hurt her mommy and made her cry all the time. She was always the one to comfort her mommy when she was sad.
"Don't worry sweetpea, I'll make sure to keep your father in line if he ever hurts your mum again." David reassured Cat he would keep his son in line if he ever thought of making Bless upset again and protect his grandchildren too.
"Tank grandpa. I wuv yew." The little toddler hugged him.
"No problem sweetpea. I'd do anything for ya because I love ya too." He promised her as he kissed the top of her head.
"Awex a good baby." Catherine smiled at her baby brother who was watching them interact.
"He sure is. He's a lot like your dad when he was this small." David had to agree smiling down at his newborn grandson. Drew was a lot like Alex when he was that small.
"Dada tiny?" Catherine asked him.
"Yup he was a tiny peanut a lot like your brother. I'm sure Al will look out for you when he gets bigger though." David told her he would get bigger and would look out for her when he was big enough.
"I wuv Awex. I help mama take care of him." The little toddler was proud to tell her grandfather she loved the baby and helped Bless take care of him.
"That's very good dear. You and your baby brother have to be close and you also have to learn how to be the big sister because who knows one day if Alex is going to need you too?" He told her they needed to be close to each other and she would have to be the one to look out for Alex too since she was the big sister since he was still little.
"I take care of Awex when he big." Catherine promised to take care of him when he got big.
"That's my good girl." David smiled proudly at his granddaughter.
After Bless spent time with Noelle and Theresa, she went to go check on the kids to see them spend time with their grandfather who was loving his time telling them stories and such. Catherine was being very attentive as she listened to him talk.
"Hey sweetie. You and your baby brother enjoying time with grandpa?" Bless smiled coming into the room hoping she wasn't disturbing them.
"Hey there doll. Actually these two are having a great time spending time with me. Catherine loves hearing the stories about me and her nanna including she tells me about you and Drew. She's a very good girl and very attentive." David smiled seeing his future daughter-in-law explaining the stories about his life and about her and Drew.
"Hi mama. Me and Awex have fun with grandpa." Catherine told her she was having fun with her grandfather.
"I'm glad to hear that sweetums." Bless giggled as the little toddler hopped off his lap as she toddled to her mommy as Bless scooped her up and gave the little girl a kiss on the forehead.
"I hope the kids have been good for you pop pop." Bless hoped the kids behaved for him.
"They sure have sweets. They've been absolute angels today. I love my grandchildren. I can't wait for you and Drew to have more little rugrats running around the house soon and that way Theresa and I could spoil them."
"Drew and I have been talking about maybe one more baby when we're fully ready or maybe when Alex gets a little older." She told him how she would love to have to have one more baby with Drew.
"Girl or boy?" He asked what she wanted.
"I want another boy but Drew wants a girl this time." She giggled what they both wanted.
"It wouldn't be too bad to have one of each in the family so hopefully you two will have another girl since you two have Alex already. He can look out for his sisters if he needed too if it turns out to be another girl down the road." David hoped she and Drew had another girl since they already had Alex and he could look out for them and become the protective little brother.
"Yeah that's true. It would be nice to have a princess but I would love another boy that way Alex can also have someone to play with you know even though I know he loves Cat already." Bless would love to have another boy that way Alex could have another playmate around even though he loved his big sister already.
"Drew and I made a bet if another baby comes into our lives, we're going to have a bet if the baby turns out to be a boy I pick out the themes for the babies room and if it's a girl, he'll pick out the baby theme for the room so we may keep the baby a surprise if we end up with another one." She explained how she and Drew had bets for the baby theme room if the baby was either a boy or girl. They may keep the third baby a surprise this time if they ended up with another baby.
"That sounds like fun. You and Drew will be great parents again if you gave me and Theresa another grandchild." David thought they would make great parents if they had another baby and gave them another grandchild.
"Drew and I both love kids. The guys and gals at work adore them too. They treat the children as if they were their own." She told them how much she and Drew loved their kids. The guys and girls even in the back loved the kids and treated them like their own family.
"It seems like you and Drew have great support in your friends and have help with the kids when you two need it." David was glad they had so much moral support from their friends when they needed it.
"They are and they also treat me and Drew like family." Bless told David how they treated her and Drew like family too.
David love hearing the stories from her future daughter-in-law when she and Drew were on the road along with the kids. It seemed like they had a lot of help and moral support.
After Drew got done horseback riding, he greeted his family hello.
"Babe, I'm gonna grab a shower and meet you for lunch since I'm starving." Drew let her know he would eat with her and the family.
"Alrighty, sounds good." She smiled at her tall fiance.
When Drew finished showering, he came down in a cute powder blue t-shirt and black basketball mesh pants with his long hair down to let it dry.
"You smell great babe." Bless giggled loving the way her fiance smelled of his Axe shower gel he used after his shower.
"Well thank you baby." He chuckled giving her a small peck on the lips.
"Do you want to hold Alex while I get Catherine and have her sit on my lap?" He asked if they wanted to switch holding kids.
"Sure. I'm sure baby girl would love spending more time with you." Bless didn't mind if Cat sat with him while she had Alex.
"I made everyone some vegetable soup. Dig in everyone." Theresa told them as the family had a great time having lunch.
