Abandoned Baby
Chapter 177
Two days later Bless decided to call her helper Meera who watched her and her sister since she was little to see if she could babysit the kids now since she and Drew were going to Bronx, New York to pick up her sister's things the following day and she needed a sitter for the kids.
Meera: Hello
Drewsbabygirl: Hi yaya. How are you?
Meera: Mabuti naman. Ikaw, kumusta ka na at ang anak mo?(I'm good. you, how are you and the kids?)
Drewsbabygirl: Mabuti rin Yaya. Yaya Meera, may favor ako sa inyo kung okay lang kung hindi ka busy. (I'm good as well. Meera, I need a favor from you if it's okay if you're not busy.)
Meera: Sure, hindi problema sa'kin yon anak, kung among favor, I'm here for you. (It's not a problem my child, whatever the favor is.)
Drewsbabygirl: Drew and I are going to New York bukas para mag kuha yung things kay Evelyn sa apartment niya to bring dito sa bahay so okay kung tulong sa'kin mag babysit sa bata. Drew and I will be back likely the next day as soon mag sort sa things kay Eve. (Drew and I going to New York tomorrow so I can get Evelyn's things from her apartment and bringing it to the house so if it's okay if you can help babysit the kids. Drew and I will be back likely the next day as I sort Evelyn's things.)
Meera: Of course you could sweetheart. I don't mind at all watching the kids. I know it's something you must do in able to move on and cope. You and Drew take care okay? Say about 9:30 mag drop off yung bata and I'll make something tomorrow so hindi ka gutom ni'yo sa biyahe ni'yo. (What about 9:30 to drop off the kids and I'll make something so you guys won't be hungry during your travels.)
Drewsbabygirl: Thanks so much Yaya. sorry short notice ito but I just need someone to watch the kids over night and I just need a day to get to sort through anong things kay Evelyn sa apartment. (I'm sorry if this is such short notice but I just need someone to watch the kids over night and I just need a day to sort through whatever things Evelyn has at the apartment.)
Meera: Okay lang yun Bless. Wala problema sa'kin. Parang ikaw ang anak ko' so of course I'd do anything to help out. (It's okay Bless. It'snot a problem. You're like a daughter to me so of course I'd do anything to help out.)
Drewsbabygirl: Thanks. See you tomorrow morning.
After Bless got off the phone, she went to go check on Catherine who was sitting on the livingroom couch with Drew as she was snuggled on his chest eating an ice pop since she still hadn't been feeling well with a fever while Drew was stroking her hair as "101 Dalmations" was playing on the big screen tv.
"Hey, how's my baby feeling?" Bless made her presence known to the love of her lives greeting Drew with a kiss hello then kissed Catherine on the head.
"Still feel yucky..." Catherine told her mom.
"I'm sorry baby you still don't feel well. Did papa give you your medicine?"
"Just gave her a dose awhile ago love. Hopefully it'll start to kick in soon. Cat still feels a little warm and checked her temp which seems to be going down only a little bit. It was ninety nine point nine which made abig difference from yesterday." Drew informed her he made sure to give Cat a dose of Tylenol and checked her temperature.
Bless was thankful for Drew helping her out with Cat and she didn't have to worry much.
"I was able to find a sitter for tomorrow that way we could leave early tomorrow for New York to get Evelyn's things in her apartment." Bless told her husband she found a babysitter while she and Drew needed to leave the following day.
"Great. At least that won't be a problem and I'll be able to help you move your sister's things and transport things here to the house."
"Thanks for helping me babe. You've been just so supportive throughout all this while I've been thinking about it alot." Bless felt appreciative to know Drew was there every step of the way to help her while she had been trying to cope with her sister's passing which had been hard on her.
"Hun, You know I'm sticking by your side through this. I'm here for the long run and I'm not letting you do this alone." The 3MB member told her he was there for her through this and wouldn't leave her side when she needed him most.
"I love you." She smiled leaning down to kiss him.
"I love you too darling." Drew meant every word of it smiling up at her.
"Daddy, yew wuv mama vewy much." Catherine could tell how much her dad loved her mommy very much and she loved howhappy they were together.
The Scot chuckled against his baby girl. "Of course I love your mum very much. She's my world just like I think of you and Alex. One day sweetums you're going to meet the right boy and you'll feel the same way your mummy and I do."
Catherine tilted her head. "Yew tink so daddy?"
He nodded. "I know so. I hope you grow up being still my sweet little girl and being just like mummy." He smiled kissing the top ofher head.
Bless grinned at their sweet interaction which was the cutest ever. Cat and Drew had such a close bond with each other. She just hope Catherine didn't mind staying over one night at her helper's house while she needed to get things done for Evelyn and cross that off her list so it wouldn't hang over her head.
"Anak, I hope you don't mind daddy and I are leaving tomorrow to get Tita Evelyn's things so Yaya Meera is going to watch you and Alex tomorrow. Daddy and I will likely be back tomorrow night or the next day. I hope you don't mind staying and taking care of Alex."
Cat smiled at her mommy listening intently to her.
"Of course mommy. I know how much you miss Tita (Aunty) and love her. I help to watch Awex."
Bless softly smiled at her daughter who read her emotions well. It felt like Cat understood her right away and would do anything for her. She immediately loved her little girl to pieces. The two year old was smart for her age.
"I'm glad you understand me baby. Thanks for making me feel better. I love you so much baby girl." Cat was her whole world and loved her for being her.
The two year old saw the tears in her mommy's eyes and hopped off Drew's lap and put her ice treat down in her cup walking over to her taking her little hand to wipe her mom's tears.
"Don't cwy mommy." The sweet little toddler told her with a soft smile wiping her mom's face gently.
Bless had a watery smile at her baby girl's sweet affection. "I wuv yew mama. No mowe teaws."
"How do you how to cheer me up baby?" Bless asked her daughter.
"I'unno. I no like seeing yew cwy mommy. Be happy." The toddler told her giving her a kiss and hugged her mother with a soft grin.
Bless smiled and kissed Cat's temple brushing her curly hair back.
Drew was amazed and in awe how Cat's affection towards her mother was. It was like their daughter could read how her mom was feeling whether she was sad or happy. She knew whether her mom had a bad day she would try to make her mom feel better with just her smile and just give her a hug and kiss and everything would be all better. Cat was the definition of a mommy's girl the way Bless had raised her even when they had been separated for a little while.
"Mama, stay wit me and papa and watch toons with us." The toddler told her mom to atay with her and Drew to watch the rest of the movie as Drew scooped her up into his arms when she raised her arms for him to pick her up and blew raspberries on her tummy making her laugh as Bless giggled at their daughter's sweet laughter which was music to her ears.
"Daddy, it tickles!" Catherine squeaked with shrieks of giggles as his beard and mustache tickled her soft tummy.
"Awww... my little lass is ticklish." Drew chuckled knowing where her ticklish spot was.
"I love you munchkin." He told her with a soft smile placing the little girl on his lap.
"Wuv yew daddy." The little angel smiled as Bless sat beside them to watch the movie while waiting for Alex to get up for his next feeding.
Once the young parents heard Alex on the baby monitor, Drew was the first to get up.
"I'll get the lad hun, I'll be right back." The Sinister Scot told his wife placing Cat in her lap.
Bless nodded letting the little girl curl against her like a little kitten. Cat's head laid on her mom's lap, her little arms cuddling Cubby that she had grabbed that was at the end of the couch earlier, and her feet stretched out on the couch continuing to watch her favorite Disney movie that was still on.
"Hey lad. What's the fussin'?" Drew asked softly to Alex getting him out of the crib cradling his son who was standing in the crib wanting to get out after he woke up.
Drew knew the little boy was in need of a bottle since he was due for a feeding. "Shhhh...it's okay buddy. Let's get you a bottle yeah?"
The 3MB member swaddled the infant in his arms gently patting his back as they walked to the kitchen.
Once the Scot needed what he was looking for, he started up the stove that way he could heat up the bottle a little.
"Shhhhh...It's okay buddy. I know you're hungry." Drew soothed the little boy with soft words to comfort him continuing to pat his back.
When the bottle was finished warming up, he turned off the stove then tested the temperature on his wrist making sure it was warm enough to feed to the little one.
"Here you go little lad." The Scottish father smiled giving Alex his bottle as the infant boy sucked at his milk hungrily. Drew chuckled softly when the small boy curled his tiny fingers against his that was holding the bottle.
The young father grabbed the spit rag that was on top of the diaper bag placing it on his shoulder for later.
"Good boy Alex." His dad smiled down at him watching him drink his formula. The little boy seemed to have a good appetite alike him.
When Alex was done drinking his bottle, Drew put Alex on his stomach laying the infant on his shoulder to pat his back to burp him.
Alex burped softly spitting up a little while Drew cleaned him up. "Good boy lad." Drew smiled at his son proud of him before putting the bottle on the sink.
He walked back with the baby to the living room where Bless was stroking their daughter's hair while Cat laid on her mommy's lap sucking her thumb and her green eyes concentrating on the movie she was watching.
"Hey sweet boy. Did you sleep well?" Bless smiled when she saw her and Drew's son giving him a kiss on the head.
"He was fussy when he woke up and just fed him his bottle. He drank pretty much all of it."
"Wow, Al's definitely got your strong appetite." Bless knew Al had Drew's appetite when he usually ate.
Drew chuckled. "He definiely does, right lad?" He asked their son who cooed and gurgled at him.
"Is that right anak?" (my son) Bless giggled as if Alex was trying to hold a conversation with them.
Alex babbled at him and Drew. "Yeah you've got papa's appetite for sure. You're going to grow up just like him." Bless told their son smiling at him from Drew's lap.
During the afternoon Drew and Bless spent time with their kids which was their favorite thing to do during their down time and being with each other which was a plus for the married couple. They wouldn't trade this for anything else in the world.
A few minutes later the two year old got off her mommy's lap.
"Where are you going baby?" Bless asked her daughter.
"Icy." Catherine grinned getting her blue raspberry ice pop which was half melted to drink some of the juice from it as she returned with the ice treat sitting back on Bless' lap to drink it which made her feel a little better.
"Yummy baby?" Bless asked Catherine who was sipping her juice from the melted ice.
The little girl nodded grinning. "Nomnom." Catherine licked her lips telling her mom settling against her mom who held her.
"It seems like your fever is going down." Bless smiled relieved feeling her daughter's forehead that it was not as warm which meant she was getting better plus the Tylenol Drew gave her was effective.
"She feeling better?"Drew turned to Bless making sure their daughter was okay as he cradled Alex patting his back gently.
Bless nodded to her husband with a smile as the Scot felt for any warm spots around Cat's forehead and neck.
"You're right. Thankfully her fever was caught on time."
"I agree. She seems to be feeling a little bit better."
Once Catherine finished her ice pop, she walked to the kitchen to throw the wrapper away then put her cup in the sink before returning back to cuddle with her mom.
"Finished?" Bless asked Cat that she was done eating her ice pop.
Cat nodded cuddling against her mom and dad.
A few minutes later Drew's cellphone rang with his, Heath, and Yuv (Jinder's) theme knowing one of his stable mates was calling. Likely he knew it had to be Heath knowing he needed to ask his wife some questions since he was about to become a first time dad himself. Drew was happy for his tag team partner and his wife who were expecting a bundle of joy in a few months.
BadBoyDrew: Hey lad. What's up?
HeathSlaterOMRB: Hey man. I hope I'm not disturbing you guys at a bad time but I need to ask Bless something because Steph is sick to her stomach. I'm worried about her so I was wondering jf there's anything I need to give her.
BadBoyDrew: I'm sorry to hear that man. No, don't worry about it, Bless and I are just home here with the kids.I hope Stephy feels better. I'll let you speak to Bless.
Drew passed over the phone to his wife. "Heath, needs to talk to you babe. Steph's sick."
Bless got the phone from her husband to talk to Heath.
BadBoyDrew: Hey red. Sorry to hear about Steph. How is she hanging in there with the morning sickness?
HeathSlaterOMRB: She usually is sick during the day, afternoon, and evening. I'm worried about her Bless. Is there anything I could give her? I know you would know since you're experienced with being a mom.
BadBoyDrew: Try making Steph chamomile or geen tea then and ginger ale. I know saltine crackers usually helps curbs the sickness as well. I hope that helps you out. I hope that'll make her feel better like it did me when I was pregnant with Alex.
HeathSlaterOMRB: Thanks Bless. You're an angel. I'll try all those to see if it'll help any.
BadBoyDrew: You're welcome red. Make sure she gets plenty of rest and she see's her doctor if things get worse with her sickness just to make sure she's okay. Make sure to update Drew and I and tell Steph get better soon.
HeathSlaterOMRB: Thanks for the advice Bless. I'll make sure to do so this week if there are any changes.
After the couple talked with Heath, Bless smiled softly seeing Cat was leaning against Drew snoozing away and Alex sleeping too against his shoulder with a little drool in the corner of his mouth.
"They're asleep." The young mom giggled nodding to Drew looking at their children.
"You want to help put them up to their rooms?" He chuckled softly looking how sweet and innocent their kids were.
Bless nodded turning to get Catherine gently into her arms while turning off the tv while Drew cradled Alex against his chest to bring the infant up.
"Mommy..." Catherine mumbled sleepily feeling her mom move her.
"Shhhh...it's okay hon. Go back to sleep, I got you." Bless whispered to Cat planting a kiss onto her daughter's hair making her way to Catherine's room.
"I love you anak. Feel better soon." Bless smiled at her sleeping baby girl kissing her temple after tucking her daughter in with Cubby.
"Alex is sleeping. How is princess doing?" Drew walked in the room where she was sitting with Cat who was sleeping peacefully snoozing away.
"She's doing good. Thankfully her temp is dropping and her fever is almost gone. She seems to be sleeping better in able to fight off any infection." Bless whispered smiling at their sweet little angel brushing her bangs with her fingers and seeing Cat's sleeping pattern was doing better that way she got more better. She wasn't as stuffy before when she was previously.
Drew was glad their daughter was feeling better from what his wife was telling him. He looked down at Cat and smiled at how sweet and innocent she was. He walked over and lightly kissed her temple.
"Sleep well lass. I love you."
The married couple left the room leaving the door half way open just incase Catherine needed them before going back downstairs.
"Now that the kids are asleep, what do you want to do?" Drew asked spooning Bless against his chest stroking Bless' hair.
"Spend time with my gorgeous hubby. Is that okay with you?" Bless smiled tucking some strands away from Drew's face and pecked his lips.
He nodded with a soft smile pulling her close as she wrapped her arms around his as he turned on the tv while he and his wife spent a quiet afternoon together.
