Abandoned Baby
Chapter 174
The next day Drew woke up with Bless who was nestled into his chest and her head under his chin. He smiled lightly placing a kiss on her head and running his fingers through her hair just peacefully watching her sleep.
A few minutes later Bless woke up when she felt gentle soothing motions in her hair when she felt a pair of arms encircled her until she saw the familiar wedding ring on his finger knowing it belonged to the love of her life.
"Good morning." Bless murmured softly to her husband snuggling into his frame.
Good morning baby. I didn't wake you did I?" Drew asked as he saw his slumbering wife had woken up.
"Mmmm...mmm...It feels so relaxing when you stroke my hair." She mentioned with a small giggle with her eyes closed a little letting the movement soothe her.
"I missed you and I'm glad to be home." Drew smiled telling her how much he was glad to be home holding his wife.
"I'm happy too." Bless agreed now shifting to turn to face Drew playing with his hair.
"I love you Andrew."
"I love you more beautiful." Drew murmured as he closed in on her and gently placed a soft kiss on her soft lips which turned passionate as he crawled on top fighting with her sweet mouth.
"Mmmm..." Bless moaned softly letting her tongue battle with his in a passionate embrace.
"Make love to me Drew." Bless softly panted to him.
Drew smiled. "With pleasure baby."
Drew crawled up to Bless' beautiful naked body and slowly filled her as she moaned softly at the intrusion. She missed the feeling of him being inside of her.
The Scot gasped softly fitting in her like a glove and sat still letting her get adjusted to his size being careful not to hurt her.
"Babe, are you still on the pill right?" Drew asked if she was still taking birth control. He knew she didn't want another baby yet till Alex got a little older.
"Don't worry baby, I'm on the pill." She reassured him as she moved with him as they continued to make sweet love.
The sweet couple relaxed after making love. "That was fantastic!" Bless smiled kissing Drew softly.
"I missed this and I missed making love with you baby. " Drew softly mentioned curling his wife into a sweet embrace as he was still inside her.
"I did too and I think we both needed this." She agreed missing each other's company and were in a happy bliss after just making passionate love.
"I love you Bless Galloway." Drew softly told his wife softly kissing her.
"I love you too Andrew Galloway." Bless let him know after breaking the sweet kiss and laying her hand against his cheek stroking it gently as she looked into his deep blue eyes.
Drew gently slipped out of Bless that way they could get a shower and spend time with their babies while it was still early in the morning.
When Drew finished showering and was dressed, he walked out of his and Bless' room to check on the kids.
He walked in the nursery to see Alex was still asleep sucking on his pacifier. He smiled at the infant and pulled the baby blanket up to the baby's waist and planted a soft kiss on his head before walking out to go check on Catherine. She too was out like a light still snoozing peacefully with her pink baby blanket kicked off half way down her feet and Cubby was on the floor.
Drew guessed Cubby had fallen out of her arms in the middle of the night and had kicked off her blanket. He walked over picking up the toy pup he had gotten her placing it in Catherine's arms carefully not to wake her as she embraced the stuffed puppy in her arms in her sleep before the Ayershire wrestler neatly pulled up the blanket over the little one and kissed her forehead.
He left the room and quietly snuck back to his and Bless' room to hear the hairdryer going off knowing his wife just got out of the shower and was drying her hair.
The Scot turned on the tv to see if there was anything to watch when he landed on "Dexter" which was the latest rave the guys had been talking about so he decided to tune in while waiting for Bless to finish her personal duties.
Bless finished drying her hair putting it in a high ponytail and got dressed in a regular red tanktop and and shorts on since she and Drew really weren't really going out until maybe later in the night if Drew had other plans for them. Right now they were staying home and spending time with each other and the kids.
"Hey, are the babies still sleeping?" Bless asked Drew who was watching tv.
"I checked in on them babe and both are sleeping peacefully. You wanna sit and watch with me until the babies get up?" He patted the empty space next to him as she climbed into his side cuddling into Drew's warm embrace.
It felt nice to just lounge around when it was just the two of them since it was just around 9:30 and Alex didn't get up till ten to be fed. Usually Alex was a good baby and didn't wake up much during the middle of the night and only woke up when he needed to be fed or needed a diaper change.
Bless cuddled into Drew's side as he held her close stroking her hair as they watched "Dexter" that was currently playing. She had her head leaning against his shoulder as his fingers were intertwined witth her's.
"It's quiet." Bless mentioned smiling not hearing the kids since she and Drew were the only one's awake while they were still asleep.
Drew chuckled when his wife mentioned that.
"It is." He agreed with a smile.
"Drew, I've been thinking about Evelyn lately. I think maybe it's time to get some closure. Since yesterday it's been on my mind after Catty and I went to the beach to visit her.I'm thinking of getting some of her stuff and putting them here upstairs in the storage attic just as keepsakes. " Bless thought it would be a good idea for her to get some closure with her sister.
Drew smiled rubbing Bless' back in a comforting motion while listening to her. He was glad that she was finally getting the closure she needed. It had really broken her heart when her sister died but he had been there every step of the way supporting her.
"Are you sure this is what you want baby?" Drew asked if she was ready that closure she needed to be able to move on from grieving.
Bless nodded as she snuggled against him.
"Yeah I do babe. I just need a sense of closure after her death. Catty was looking at our picture when she asked if we could see her and I think that brought me the closure for my sister. Cat wanted to get to know her aunty Evelyn Gianna. Gianna was our mother's middle name so we either called my sister Evelyn or friends called her Gia since it was it was easier to remember but sometimes I caught myself calling her Gi for short." Bless reminisced.
"Growing up, were you and your sister close?" Drew meant to ask her how close the siblings were.
"Yeah we were. Eve was my closest best friend I'd had growing up and there were times we did things together our mother never knew about or we stayed out late to go out with friends to go to the movies or skating rink just to relax after school hours when we're supposed to be doing homework." She giggled telling him.
Drew had to chuckle at that. "My wifey the little rebel girl." He teased her.
"Yup that was me in a nutshell pretty much when it came to my sister and I growing up." Bless laughed remembering that memory so well.
"There were times I'd cover for Eve when we got a little older when our mom worked and I'd be the one to protect my sister and look out for her. She usually was out late because I promised to let her go out at times when our mom wouldn't let her since she was overprotective of us. I usually had my sister's back telling her she could stay a little later and likely she had to be home by ten or eleven at the latest in the evening when she's supposed to be home strictly by nine which would be our curfew but I let it slide since I covered."
"When it came to boys, mom and I were protective of her. We would tell her to finish her studies first before getting a boyfriend and she kept that promise when she made it to nursing school. She always wanted to be a nurse growing up."
Drew could imagine how close the girls were after his wife told him those kinds of stories and her opening up to him more. He loved listening to her stories how they grew up together that it reminded him of the sibling closeness he had similar with Noelle and he feel like he could relate.
"I could relate to you baby when it comes to me and Noelle growing up. We have such a close bond like you and yer' sister."
"So...do you think maybe we fly out this weekend and get Eve's things from her and her friend's apartment and bring it home?" Bless asked her hubby.
"I'm here for you babe if you're more than ready."
She nodded with a smile.
"I'm totally ready for that closure Drew."
When his wife's mind was set, there was nothing else from stopping her. Drew was along for the ride and glad his wife was set to close that chapter and be able to get the closure she needed for so long.
After discussing things for a few minutes, Bless decided to make breakfast for her, Drew, and the kids once they were up and spend time with her family.
