Abandoned Baby
Chapter 166
The next morning Catherine was the first to wake up since today was her birthday. She wanted to wake up her parents and spend the day with them especially her baby brother.
She sat up carefully in bed with a smile and realized she was cuddled closely by her daddy and to her right was her mommy holding her by the waist facing her with her eyes closed sleeping peacefully.
Drew woke up a few minutes later when he felt movement against his arm and slowly opened one blue eye before the other to see Catherine was up.
"Good morning lass. What are you doing up early?" He chuckled softly running his fingers through her dark curls.
The two year old toddler smiled.
"Morning dada. It my biwthday today." She told him with a toothy grin.
"Happy birthday my beautiful big girl." The Scot told his two year old daughter pulling her frame against him and planting a kiss on her forehead.
"Tank." She giggled softly.
"How did you sleep lass?" He asked her.
"Good. Dada, can we go downstaws and eat with Unca Heathy and the guys?" Catherine asked him.
He nodded. "We could baby and we'll wait for mum and Alex to wake up before we could go." He told his daughter cupping her cheek.
Catherine nodded smiling understanding her daddy.
"Dada, can I go outside and watch toons?" The two year old wanted to go to the livingroom to watch cartoons since it was on.
Drew chuckled. "I don't see why not munchkin. Go on ahead and just be careful not to wake your mummy while getting up." The young father told his daughter.
"Tay." She softly smiled before carefully getting off the bed and grabbed Cubby by the end of the bed by the chair where her stuffed puppy sat and toddled off to watch cartoons.
After Cat left the room, Drew laid back down and snuggled his wife close to him as she slowly woke up feeling a pair of arms around her and smelled the familiar scent of Axe cologne with a hint of Irish spring soap and opned her brown eyes to see Drew was up holding her
"Good morning babe. What time is it?" Bless asked sleepily.
"9:06AM." He told her the time since the alarm was at her bed side and could see the clock.
"Mmmmm...where's Catherine?" She mumbled near his chest as he curled her frame close as he stroked her back with his fingers.
Drew smiled and planted a kiss on her head. "Outside watching cartoons. She asked if we could go out later since today's her birthday."
Bless gasped realizing Catherine was two. "Today's our baby's birthday! I think we should get ready if she wanted to go spend time with us." She told her hubby it was an important day in their baby's life.
Drew nodded agreeing with his wife. "I agree hun. Can you believe our baby grew up so fast?" He realized how fast Catherine grew up.
"I know. She's a big girl now. Soon she'll be wanting to grow úp too soon and going to school. I don't want our baby to grow up. I wished she could stay little forever." Bless sighed not wanting Catherine growing up on her too fast.
"I don't either luv but we gotta let Cat grow up sooner or later." Drew told her as he was running his fingers through Bless' hair.
She nodded against him. "I guess you're right.I'm just glad you're here to see her turn two." Bless was glad Drew was here for their first baby's birthday and see her grow up.
"I am too. My first baby all grown up. I'm so thankful we adopted her and made her a part of our family."
The couple got up as soon as Alex was up while they talked for awhile and decided to get up and get ready for Catherine's birthday. Although they weren't home for her birthday, she was with them and that's all that mattered.
Bless walked out to the living room to see Catherine was giggling animatedly. She was watching "Dora the Explorer" as she held Cubby in her lap.
"Good morning baby girl, Happy Birthday!" Bless told her daughter.
Catherine turned around and smiled at her mommy dropping Cubby on the floor and ran up in her mommy's arms. "Tank mommy!" Catherine beamed giving her mom a hug and kiss.
"Honey, you don't mind if we're not home for your birthday do you?" Bless asked her daughter if it was okay that they were away from home for her second birthday.
The little toddler shook her curls. "No mama. As long as I have you, Papa, and Awex I happy."
"I can't believe my little girl is grown up. You're my little sunshine and pride and joy." Bless spoke softly cupping her daughter's face and stroking her cheek with her thumb.
"I a big girl mama." Catherine told her beaming with a cute smile.
Bless nodded agreeing with her daughter. "Yes you are baby and no matter what, papa and I will always love you and you'll be our first baby."
"I wuv yew mama." Catherine smiled at her mom.
Drew meanwhile got Alex bathed and dressed while Bless gave Catherine a bath and got her ready in a pretty pink dress and matching pink strapped sandals and her curly hair was tied back in a matching pink ribbon.
"You look so pretty birthday girl." Bless cooed at her daughter loving the way Catherine looked in the dress that Carla made her. Bless gad rserved the dress for a special day and today was it for her birthday.
"Pwetty." Catherine smiled looking at herself in the mirror.
After the guys and Bless got ready, they all went downstairs where the roster were all eating breakfast and still coming down from their rooms.
"Unca Wandy!" Catherine smiled seeing her favorite uncle with er Uncle JC, Uncle Stephen (Sheamus), Justin (PJ), and Dylan (Hornswoggle).
The Viper turned around and beamed when he saw his niece with Bless behind her.
"Hey dollface. You look very pretty darling." He told her as he scooped her up in his arms and hugged her tight.
"Aunty Carla made this for me." She told him with a proud smile.
"She did a great job. Why did you decide to dress so pretty today?" He asked the toddler.
"Today my birthday silly." She told him smiling.
"Happy Birthday baby. How old are you today?" The Viper asked her.
She held up her fingers showing him how old she was.
You're two already, no." Randy joked with his adopted niece.
"I am Unca Wandy." Catherine told him with a toothy grin.
"My favorite niece grew up on me too fast."
"I sure did Unca Wandy."
Randy then smiled as Bless walked up to him while Drew greeted his friends giving them man hugs as soon as they saw him.
"Hey Bless. It's good to see you again." The Viper told her he was happy to see her with a warm smile and kissed her cheek.
She smiled back as her daughter went off to her daddy who had Alex and went to go greet the rest of her superstar uncles and aunts making her round of hello's after Randy let her down to greet Bless.
"Are you coming back on the road B?" Randy asked her if the PA was permanently back on the road with them.
She shook her head. "Actually only here for a week with Drew and the kids. You know you, Sam, and Lanna are more than welcome to visit us." She told him that he and his family could come visit them whenever they had time.
Randy sighed sadly and looked pretty down after Sam and divorced him. Since he was on the road alot, their marriage just wasn't working out and they had been fighting most of the time for him to be home with her and their daughter and they couldn't agree on anything. He even gave her legal custody of their daughter which was harder on him.
"Randy, what's wrong?" Bless asked him in concern touching his arm seeing him look down.
The blue eyed Viper wasn't sure what to say to Bless. It would break her heart to know he and Sam weren't together anymore and she was close to both of them.
"Bless, do you think you can come up to my room later and we could talk in private?" Randy asked grabbing her hand and gently squeezing it just needing his best friend to talk to.
Bless nodded okay even though she didn't know what was going through jer best friends mind. Something was off about him and she had to get him out of this funk he was in.
"Sure Randy. What time do you want to meet?" She asked him softly.
"Is tonight after the show okay with you?" He wondered.
"After Drew and the kids are in bed, I'll come to your room and you can spill your heart out to me. Just give me the time and room number and I'll be there."
Randy felt grateful for Bless to have her as a best friend as he grabbed a pen and piece of paper to write down where they could meet just to have a heart to heart talk. Right now all he needed was his best friend to lean on and a shoulder to cry on.
Bless hated to see Randy look so down. In his eyes, he had a pained look to his baby blues which usually it up like a little kid which wasn't present at the moment.
"Everything is going to be okay Randy." Bless told him cupping his right cheek as he sighed softly trying to be strong to hold tears back as his heart broke in two. Bless saw a lone tear which fell from his eye to down her hand finally seeing the Viper vulnerable. She knew he needed to really talk to her.
"Don't cry Randy. Jt's going to be okay." She told him softly feeling sad when he felt sad. "I'm sorry Bless." He softly apologized to her with a watery smile.
"Don't apologize Viper. I promise things will be okay. " She promised him squeezing his hand. He nodded with a small smile thankful for Bless being there for him.
"I'll get us some coffee before I go to your room and we could talk tonight." He nodded before trying to out on a brave smile for her. "Thanks sweetie." He then pulled her into a hug.
"No problem. Anything for my best friend." She softly told him with a smile and he knew she meant that from the bottom of her heart. It felt like old times when he had been there for her when times were tough.
After the two talked, Bless caught up with the rest of the roster, her husband, and her kids having breakfast together as a happy family.
That afternoon the family made their way to the arena since Drew, Jinder, and Heath had a match on Superstars taping.
"Mama, can I stay with Aunty AJ, Aunty Nattie, and Aunty Sarona tonight?" Catherine asked if she could spend the night with the divas.
"If it's okay with the girls honey then you could stay." Bless told her while she was pushing Alex in his stroller while Catherine took her other hand to the hallway to drop her off to the divas who would babysit her.
Making her way to the the divas locker room, she knocked on the door and heard shuffling on the other side to see a young girl possibly to look in her teens and had pretty curly hair. She wondered if the girl was new since she didn't seem familiar to her.
"Hi. I was wondering if Nattie or AJ were in?" Bless inquired about the divas if they were in yet.
Jojo smiled warmly at the girl. "Actually they're not here yet but Brie, Nikki, Sarona (Tamina), And Lilian are here." She meekly spoke with such shyness.
Bless thought the girl was adorable the way she spoke and figured she was new. "Excuse me for not introducing myself, I'm Jojo Offerman. I'm just new around here training to be a WWE Diva." The young girl introduced herself to Bless with a warm smile.
"I'm Bless Galloway, Drew Galloway's wife which he plays Drew McIntyre onscreen. It's nice to meet you Jojo." She extended her hand out to greet the new diva.
"Nice to meet you too Bless. You have such a pretty name by the way." Jojo couldn't help but compliment which Bless smiled at.
"Thank you honey. You're so sweet." Bless thought this new girl was such a sweetheart and just very down to earth like the other divas she came across.
"Um.. if you want I could get Sarona or Lilian for you since they're inside." Jojo told her they were in the locker room.
Bless nodded with a smile as Jojo turned to get the other two divas.
"That girl pwetty mama and she's nice." Catherine commented on Jojo.
Bless nodded agreeing with her daughter.
"She is sweetie. Maybe you might make a new friend." Her mom told her when the door opned to reveal the Samoan Diva.
"Hey Bless. Dropping off Catherine?" The Diva asked her best friend if she was dropping off the little angel.
Bless nodded. "If it's not too much trouble Sar." The young mom hoped she and the divas didn't mind that they watched her for a few hours.
Sarona smiled warmly. "Of course not sweetie besides the girls and I would love to watch our niece, right pumpkin?" Sarona kneeled down at Catherine's level and gave the two year old a hug hello and kissed her cheek.
"Right Aunty Sar." Catherine grinned a toothy smile at the Samoan Diva.
"Aunty Sar, It otay if I stay wit yew, Aunty AJ, Aunty Lily, and Aunty Brie?" Catherine asked if she could stay with them just for the night to spend time with them.
Sarona smiled and thought the little girl was an absolute angel. She loved Catherine if she were her own. "If it's okay with your mom then it's okay with us." She reassured the toddler.
"It's okay with me honey." Her mom nodded with a smile as Catherine gleefully squealed hugging and kissing her mom.
"Honey, you be good for your aunties okay, pangako (promise)?" Bless faced her daughter and kissed her nose and forehead.
"I pwomise mama. I wuv yew." Catherine let her know.
"Bless, Cat will be fine with us girls tonight. We got everything covered with our niece." Sarona made sure that Cat was taken cared of.
Bless was grateful for Sarona and the girls and Cat got to spend time with her favorite aunts for a girls night out.
Sarona got Cat's diaperbag and put it on her shoulder and scooped up her niece.
"See you tomorrow morning at breakfast baby." Bless smiled at her daughter who was in her aunt's arms.
"Tay mama. Wuv yew."
"I love you too baby."
"Again thanks so much for everything Sarona." The young mother thanked her best friend.
"No problem hot mama. Like I said anything for a friend. You know we're here for you when you need us no questions asked." The Samoan Diva told her with a warm smile.
After dropping off Catherine, She and Alex made their way back to the locker room to catch up with the guys. In the corner of her eye, she could see Randy looked off in his own little world amd a little withdrawn from the rest of the guys who were doting on Alex.
"What's with Viper, I've never seen him so down?" Drew asked his wife as he held their son on his lap as guys were making funny facing at the baby while his parents weren't looking making the ifant boy giggle.
"To be honest honey, I have no idea. He looked upset earlier when I talked to him. I told him I'd talk to him tonight. Something is really bothering him." She softly said worried about her best friend who was like a big brother to her.
"Poor Randy looks beside himself. This is the first I've seen him withdrawn in awhile." Drew noticed his friend looked down in the dumps and felt his pain. It pained Drew to see his good friend look so miserable. Usually he was never like this.
Bless nodded as she laced her fingers with him watching Randy leave the room trying to distract himself and get himself out of his own head and try to get psyched for his match.
"I hope the lad will be okay." Drew hoped looking at his wife.
"I do too babe. I'll talk to him tonight if you don't mind."
Drew thought it would be good to have his wife talk to the superstar since they were best friends before he even dated her. He knew the two were as close as siblings and didn't feel any jealousy towards them.
"No not at all babe. Besides you've known Randy longer than I have so it's fine. He needs his best friend and sister around." He reassured it was fine for her to be with her best friend and talk.
Bless smiled at how sweet and caring Drew was. No wonder she loved him so much. Surely Drew was rough, dangerous, and such a goof out the ring but when he was with her, he turned into such a softy. He was her prince Charming.
"Do you mind watching Alex tonight while I go talk to Viper?" She hoped he didn't mind being Super Dad tonight.
Drew smiled and kissed her before laying a soft kiss on Alex's soft head. "Of course not hun. This little lad could spend time with with me and we could have our man bonding moment."
"Do I need to pick up Catty as well after the show?" He asked as he was bouncing the little boy gently on his knee as Alex giggled outloud as the two parents smiled at the sound of his cute laughter.
She shook her head. "Sarona and the girls are keeping her for the night so it'll just be us and junior tonight." Nodding to their giggling son who loved spending time with his parents.
Drew smirked. "After Al is sleeping and Cat is away with the lassies, maybe you and I can have our alone time if you know what I mean?" He winked teasingly only for her.
Bless giggled inowing Drew was teasing her. Maybe some alone time wouldn't be so bad since they haven't had the chance to make love after Alex was born.
"You're on babe." Drew then planted a loving kiss on her lips. "Challenge accepted." He lowly murmured in his deep Scottish accent.
Drew later got ready for his match with Heath and Jinder as they met up with Brian (Road Dogg) and Jimmy and Jey for a six man tag match.
After Superstars, Bless called Sarona to check on Catherine before she and Drew left for the hotel.
"Honey, I'm going to the cafe downstairs to get me and Randy some coffee. I'll be back in an hour or two." Bless told her husband she was leavibg to talk with Randy.
"All right baby. Be safe. I luv you lass."
Bless smiled softly at him before giving him a peck lovingly. "I love you too." She then turned to Alex. "Baby, mommy will be back soon. You be a good boy and behave for papa. Love you." She then planted a kiss on Alex's head.
Drew smiled at the sweet interaction. "Don't worry baby. Us men will hold down the fort right little guy?" The Scot turned to his son blowing a raspberry on his tummy causing Alexto squeal outloud in laughter which was music to Bless' ears.
"I trust you. Have fun boys." She kissed her boys before grabbing her ourse and cellphone before leaving the room.
She made her way to the cafe to get coffees for her and Randy then paid for it. Bless grabbed some milk, sugar, creamers, and stirrers. She didn't know how Randy liked his coffee so she grabbed what she needed putting them in the bags.
The WWE PA then took her phone out to call Randy and got two rings before she heard him pick up.
RandyRKOViper: Hello?
Drewsbabydoll: Hey Randy. Just calling you letting younknow I'm on my way. I got us some coffees and I know we both need something to drink while we talk.
RandyRKOViper: Awww honey, you really didn't have to do that but thanks in advance. I appreciate it. I'm in room 220 if you're coming up.
Drewsbabydoll: No problem Rands. I'll be up in ten.
After the two best friends talked for a few minutes, Bless made her way to the elevator pushing the button for the second floor.
As she stood there, she hoped whatever was bothering her best friend, she could get it out of him to make him open up to her. She loved Randy like a big brother and remembered when he and Sam took her and the kids in as his own family and now was her turn to be there for him.
When the elevator made it to the second floor, she stepped off and looked at the signs on the walls to see which way Randy's room was. She followed the left sign and saw where she needed to go until she saw the room number Randy was in.
Bless knocked on the door until she heard the door open to reveal Randy dressed in a nice blue polo shirt and blue jeans but on his face wore a sad look and a small smile when he seen his best friend made it okay.
"Hey Viper. I'm here if you need an ear and shoulder plus I brought us coffee." She showed him that she was ready for him to spill his heart out to her. For that, he was grateful for that simple gesture.
"Come in." He told her with a small smile before she stepped in and the Viper closing the door behind him.
