Abandoned Baby
Chapter 165
A few weeks later Drew and the family were at the arena hanging out talking to the guys since they were in town.
"Hey little kitten." Phil (Punk) greeted Catherine spotting her with Bless, Alex, and Drew. Phil called Catherine little kitten since she reminded him of a kitten.
"Unca Phil!" She beamed happily to see the Chicago Native.
"Hey resident Punk." Drew called the wrestler when he heard his daughter call him when he rounded the corner.
"Drewster." Punk nodded back cordially as he walked up and shook hands with the Scot.
"Hey kitten. My you've grown fast on me girly." He greeted the toddler with a kiss to the cheek and tickled her on the side causing her to giggle.
"I almost two Unca Phil." She grinned her cute toothy smile.
"Is that so?" He asked her with a grin.
She nodded with a proud smile. "Yeah. I a big girl."
"You are a big girl now I see. You also being a good sister?" The Straightedge superstar asked her.
She nodded proudly. "I help mama and daddy wit baby."
Drew smiled. "She does help Bless and I with the little one. She loves being the big sister in charge."
Phil smiled and high fived her.
"That'a girl!"
"Is Kenzie wit yew Unca Phil?" Catherine asked about the small puppy that she remembered seeing before.
"Not recently pumpkin but probably when Amy comes on the road with me next time, maybe she'll have Kenzie and you two can play together."
"Awwww poo..." Catherine pouted hopefully hoping to see the playful pup.
"Maybe when Amy comes on the road, I'll ask her to bring Kenzie along."
"Ah, the beginning of the spoiling uncle. Hey Phillip." Bless joked hearing his voice after talking to Stephanie who had came up to her who was happy to see Bless and the baby that they had a chance to catch up and smiled when she seen the Chicago native with her and Drew's daughter.
"Daddy, can we go see Aunt Natty and AJ?" Catherine asked if she could play with her favorite diva aunties.
Drew turned to his wife. "Babe, do you mind if Cat and I go visit Nat and AJ?" The Scottish man asked Bless.
"Sure honey." Bless nodded before turning to their daughter. "Sweetie, be a good girl for Aunty Nat and AJ." She told the toddler touching her nose in an eskimo kiss.
Catherine smiled her toothy smile. "I will mama." The two then parted ways.
The Scot turned to the Chicago man. "Phil, we'll see you la'er." Drew told Phil since Catherine wanted to see the girls.
"Okay man. Bye kitten." Phil waved to Drew and Catherine.
"Buh bye Unca Phillip." Catherine smiled at him as the two went to visit the divas.
The Wicker Park wrestler smiled warmly seeing Bless and Alex walk up to him.
"Hey Bless. Hey Sport." Phil greeted Bless with a kiss to the cheek and waved at Alex who gave a toothless smile at the tattooed man.
"I haven't seen you around these parts lately." Punk told Bless realizing he hadn't seen her and the kids in awhile since after she left.
Bless nodded. "Been busy working from home and taking care of the kids so I haven't been around as much. I just wanted to give them a normal life. Drew persuaded me to come out for once and see everyone." She told him her whereabouts.
Phil nodded understanding where Bless was coming from.
"That's quite understandable plus you just want to give the kids a normal upbringing."
Bless knew the Straightedge wrestler was on spot when he mentioned about the kids and wanted them to have a normal life.
"Exactly. It's easier for me to not travel a lot and I can take care of the little ones."
He then smiled at the little boy in her arms who was reaching out for him.
"You want Uncle Punk to hold you sweetie?" The young mom giggled watching Alex holding his little arms towards Phil.
Punk chuckled watching the little infant reach for him. "Hey little guy. You're getting so big and look like your dad." The wrestler smiled getting the baby from his friend. Alex babbled at him and looked at Punk with his beautiful blue eyes.
"Yeah you are little guy." The wrestler smiled at the infant boy who grabbed his finger.
"He has a good grip just like his dad. Maybe Alex will grow up to be like his dad and become a future wrestler."
I agree with that Phil. Maybe someday I want him to grow up to be whatever he wants."
"Hey Phil, you ready to go, we gotta head to the ring to rehearse." A familiar voice called to him when the Straightedge superstar as he turned around to hear the Iowa Indie wrestler Colby Lopez (Seth Rollins) walk up to him and happened to see him with a pretty girl and baby that his friend held.
"Hey Colb. I'll be right there." Phil called over to the two toned man before turning back to Bless and gave Alex back to her.
"Honey, I gotta go. I'll talk to you later. Champ, I'll see you later." He told the two before departing with the Iowa man.
"All right Phil, take care." Bless smiled as she and Alex departed from the straightedge man.
"So dude, who's the pretty girl and baby?" Colby asked Phil about the girl and baby he held.
"My friend Bless and her son Alexander. She's married to my friend Andrew (Drew McIntyre) and they have an adopted daughter Catherine." He told his friend about who they were who he was with.
"Oh okay. She seems like a nice girl." Colby spoke as the wrestlers walked to the ring to meet with Colby's team mates Jonathan Good (Dean Ambrose) and Leati Joseph Anoa'i (Roman Reigns).
Phil nodded. "She is." He smiled warmly at his friend following in step with the two toned ninja as they talked while making their way to the ring.
The young mom and Alex decided to go to catering to see what she could get him.
"Do you want apple juice baby?" Bless asked Alex getting out a bottle out of his diaperbag to fill with something for him to drink. Alex gurgled at her as he was in her arms sucking on his pacifier.
They walked to the table and got some juice for the baby and gave it to Alex. "Here you go sweetheart." Bless told Alex taking out his binky and giving him his bottle.
"Hey Bless. Hey cutie." Aksana greeted mother and son with a warm smile walking over to them.
Bless turned around and greeted the beautiful WWE Diva. "Hey Aksana." Bless smiled at the diva.
"Are you back?" Aksana asked her surprised to see her friend back.
She shook her head no. "Drew wanted me to come on the road with the kids so I decided to come back." Bless explained that she was just visiting with the kids.
"Hey cutie. You look just like your daddy." Aksana warmly smiled at the infant who was in his mother's arms.
"Where's Andrew and the other baby?" Aksana asked Bless not seeing him and Catherine around while watching Bless feed the young one.
"With the divas hanging out. Catherine wanted to hang out with Nattie and AJ." Bless told the Ukrainian Diva.
"That sounds nice. I'm sure the divas have missed her and she missed them." Aksana smiled warmly at her friend.
"She has and wants to spend as much time with them."
"I'm glad you decided to come sweetie. Most of us girls and I included have missed you so much. You and the kids should come see us again when you could."
"I'll have to take your offer on that." Bless told the diva with a warm smile as she took Aksana on her offer.
Alex smiled at the WWE Diva around his bottle as Bless held him.
Aksana noticed the baby smile at her. "Alex smiles like Drew." She giggled softly reaching over to tickle the baby under his chin as the infant boy giggled.
"He likes you A." Bless smiled at her giggling son as she helped him hold his bottle as his little fingers were curled against her's.
Aksana nodded. "I agree. He's your little mini me with your dimples in his smile." Aksana noticed Bless had adorable dimples when she smiled and it showed in Alex's face as well. He was a mix of her and Drew.
"He is and he's my pride and joy right sweetheart?" Bless asked Alex as he gurgled cutely.
"Yeah you are baby boy. Mama loves you." Bless kissed his cheek as he smiled at her.
"Aks, you ready to go?" Antonio Castaganoli (Cesaro) called her by her nickname came in to see the diva hanging out with Bless and her son.
Aksana along with Bless turned around when she heard the wrestler's voice and who was her travel partner along with Jack Hager (Swagger), Colby (Seth), Jonathan Good (Dean Ambrose), and Renée Young.
"Coming Anton. Bless, I gotta go. Maybe one of these days we could hang out." She told the WWE PA that she was traveling to the next town with the guys.
"Alright. Be safe." Bless kissed Aksana on the cheek and hugged her friend.
"You too honey. Bye cutie." Aksana returned the gesture as mother and son went venturing off after Aksana had to leave with her travel partners.
The WWE PA and Alex decided to go find Drew to see if he was done with his match along with Heath, Jinder, Justin (PJ), Jonathan (Jimmy) and Joshua (Jey) USO (Fatu).
"Come on sweetie, we're gonna go find papa and your uncles then we'll get your Ate (Big sister) and go home since it's way past you two's bed times." The two walked the hallways to go find the mischievous trio.
While they were in the hall, Bless bumped into PJ who was dressed up and chewing on a chocolate chip cookie as he was walking back to the locker room with his cheat day snack after his match. Bless had to giggle at his cuteness. He reminded her of a cute innocent boy eating a cookie.
"Hey PJ. Have you seen Drew and the boys?" Bless asked the African sensation.
The African high flier turned to her and smiled when she chirped his name. "Bless!" He exclaimed happily racing up to see his best friend and she had Alex with her.
Bless giggled seeing the African's man light up. "Hey Wolf boy." She smiled happy to see him.
"What are you doing here, Boy have I missed you." He told her giving her a hug and patted Alex's back gently when he saw the little boy put his head on his mother's shoulder.
"I missed you too. You know Drew asked me, well persuaded me and the kids to come and here I am. We're not staying too long. Maybe for a week until I have to go back home." She told him she was only staying for at least a week.
The young African pouted when he heard that. He wished she and the kids could stay longer plus he was always busy to see his best friend and his adopted niece and nephew when he was on the road. They only saw each other through letters, Skype, and Facetime but it still wasn't the same unless they saw each other in person.
"I wish you could stay longer." He let her know how much he missed her.
Bless smiled a small smile at her best friend. "I wished I could too Peej but you know me. I just want to give the kids a normal life and it's easier for me not to travel and working from home gives me more time to be with them. You and the guys are more welcome to come visit Drew and I when you guys are home."
He understood that and knew the kids needed an easier life being away from the spotlight being with Bless and grow up as normal kids and have friends and go to school when they got older. The African man was glad Bless still welcomed him and the guys with open arms in their home.
"I would love to chat more Peej but do you know where Drew's locker room is since I have to put this little one down?" Bless apologized for cutting her conversation short as she looked at her son was now asleep soundly on her shoulder after he drank his bottle.
"Down the hall and should be the first door down the right. Drew's sharing a locker room with Heath and Jind." The African sensation let her know where the Scot was.
"Thank you PJ. Promise to FaceTime me this week if you want to catch up if you'll be in town and maybe we can have coffee or something." Bless let him know she hoped they could hang out soon since she missed her best friend.
He smiled his pearly whites at her. "Will do hun. Take care. Bye little guy." He walked over to kiss his best friend on the cheek then leaned in to kiss Alex's head softly. Bless returned the gesture to PJ kissing his cheek and hugged him with one arm before she left to go find her hubby as he went to go find TJ (Tyson Kidd), Nat (Natalya), and Dylan (Hornswoggle) who were his travel partners.
As soon as Bless made her way to the locker room, she knocked on the door.
She heard shuffling on the other side walking to the door until the door opened to see the country bumpkin. Heath's hazel eyes lit up when he saw Bless then saw the baby sleeping on her shoulder. He knew she was coming since Drew had told him the family was on the road with him for a week.
"Hey darlin'." The redhead greeted her with a soft tone and a soft smile careful not to wake Alex.
"Hey Red." Bless smiled back greeting her friend with a kiss on the cheek.
"Is Drew around?" She asked in a soft tone while patting Alex's back gently.
He scouted the room where Drew was sitting by one of the benches getting ready to go before turning back to Bless.
"He's here in the room unless you want to come in that way you can lay Alex down for awhile." He let her know and offered her the room to stay and put the baby down and knew she had to be tired from carrying him and to lay him on the couch.
"Thanks Heath."
The family entered the room as the Virginia man let Bless and Al in as he too was waiting for Jinder to get out of the shower and getting ready since they were riding out to the hotel together since the show was almost over.
Drew smiled when he saw his wife then their son. "Hey baby." The Scot got up and softly kissed her before kissing Alex on the head and ran his fingers on Al's whisps of dark hair.
"How long has Alex been out?"
"For awhile after I gave him his bottle. I guess he's tired and we need to get the kids down to bed as soon as we get back to the hotel. It's already past their bed time."
"Let me finished getting ready then we'll go." He let her know as she nodded walking over to the couch to change Alex before they left.
"Need any help with my little buddy?" Heath asked if Bless needed help changing Alex's diaper and put him in his pj's.
Bless smiled at the hazel eyed wrestler. "If you would like to Heath. By the way, Drew told me you and Steph are expecting, congrats." Bless congratulated him and Steph on the little bundle of joy.
He nodded with a proud smile. "Yeah we are. Steph and I are excited about the baby and getting things ready for the nursery already and going baby shopping."
"Awwww… that is so cute. You two will be treat parents." Bless knew the couple would be great parents. Heath appreciated her kind words.
"Bless, would you mind being a godmother for our baby. I mean you don't have to say yes right away…" The Southern man hoped his friends wouldn't mind being a godmother to the baby.
Bless sniffled feeling touched by her friend's gesture of him asking the honor to be godmother. "I'm sorry for making you cry darlin'." Heath apologized seeing Bless tear up.
She giggled through happy tears smiling at him. "Oh no Heath, I would be honored to be your's and Steph's baby's godmother. Thank you." Bless smiled and hugged him.
"Well since you and Drew are my closest friends, I couldn't ask anybody else plus you and Drew made me an honorary adopted uncle to your kids and asked Steph what she thought of you and Drew to be godparents when the baby gets baptized after he or she's born."
"I'm sure Drew would say yes to being the baby's godfather since after all he's your second best friend."
Heath nodded knowing Drew would say yes in a heartbeat since they were close best friends. The two helped each other change Alex.
"Great job Heath. You're a natural." Bless complimented the county bumpkin watching him change Alex's diaper. He seemed like a natural at doing it and would do great when his son or daughter was born.
"Thanks. I hope once the baby will be born, I'll be an expert at this."
"You will Heath. All it takes is practice."
"Hey man. Great job. In no time when the baby gets here, you'll be an expert diaper changer, feeding the little lad or lass, Sleepless nights, and wanting to protect your wee one until they get older." Drew told him what fatherhood would be like for Hearth as he was helping Bless change Alex.
The Virginia native agreed with the Scottish wrestler nodding hoping to be a great dad and get to experience fatherhood.
"I'm sure it'll all be worth it when the little one gets here. I can't wait to hold him or her in my arms soon."
Drew patted his back. "You'll get used to it man and it's worth it in the end. I didn't think I'd imagine myself being a dad but when I hold or look at my kids, they're my whole world. When Alex was born, he turned me into a better father and man. I'm so proud of Bless bringing him into the world after she was in labor with him for twelve hours." Drew smiled wrapping an arm around his wife and kissing the side of her head before kissing their son on the head that laid on her shoulder as she smiled up at him. Heath thought the two were such a great couple and could see how much his team mate loved his wife and son with all his heart and soul. He hoped to have that kind of love with Stephanie for years to come.
"By the way Drew, since you're my best friend, would you like to be godfather to the baby, I already asked Bless if she wants to be the baby's godmother." Heath turned to his best friend who felt honored to be a part of his best friend's family.
"Lad, of course I would. You're the greatest friend a guy could ever ask for." Drew felt touched and accepted the honor to be the baby's godfather plus he loved Heath like a brother he never had but wished he could have.
"You ready to get our other baby boney?" Bless asked Drew about Catherine who was hanging out with the divas after putting Alex in his jammies and jacket before gently in his stroller.
"I am." He nodded before turning to the country bumpkin. "Heath, are you planning to ride back with us to the hotel or you heading out with Jind?" Drew asked his best friend before grabbing his bags and helping Bless with her's and getting the diaperbag putting it on his shoulder while she pushed Alex in his stroller.
"Heading out soon with Jind but thanks for the offer man. I'll see you guys tomorrow morning."
The couple said goodbye to the redhead and told him to tell the Indian/Canadian wrestler hello for them before they headed out to get their daughter at the divas locker room.
Bless knocked on the door and heard the door open to see Tamina (Sarona) with a warm smile. "Hey sweetie. You here to get Catty?" The beautiful Samoan asked Bless seeing her at the door.
"Hey Sar. Yup, if she's ready to head out for the night."
"She's actually on the couch asleep on AJ's lap after her, Nattie, Lillian, Brittany (Paige), and Trinity (Naomi), and myself were playing with her she conked out. She was a good girl all night." The Samoan Diva gave Bless a good report on Catherine.
Bless smiled as AJ heard who was at the door and put on Catherine's jacket as she carefully sat the still sleeping angel in her arms to give to her parents. She placed on the baby's shoes on last before swaddling the little girl in her arms and grabbed the diaperbag and everything else she needed and walked over to her parents.
"Hey Bless. Here's little munchkin. She has been a great little angel to be around and we loved having her around." AJ carefully passed Catherine to her mother with a smile as Sarona exchanged a smile with her fellow diva as she softly laid a kiss on Catherine's head as the toddler gave out a soft sleepy smile in her mother's arms.
"Thanks so much for babysitting AJ, I really appreciate it and hoped it wasn't too much trouble."
The smaller diva waved a hand and smiled. "It was no problem Bless. We loved having Catty over. She was well behaved all night and she and I played Barbie's for once."
After talking for a short while with the two divas, the couple and the kids headed home for the night.
