Abandoned Baby Chapter 192
Hello guys and gals! I apologize for the long hiatus, I've been having writers block as of late. I'll try to update when I could.
The next morning Bless and Drew decided to have breakfast and meet up with Stu while they had the chance and brought Catherine with them.
The couple decided to meet with their British friend down in the hotel lobby to have breakfast.
As soon as they found an empty table, they put their things down then decided to get some food and for Catherine as well. Bless decided on some cereal and fruits that Cat would eat including a carton of chocolate milk. Drew too was in the other side of the buffet deciding what he wanted for breakfast.
After the newlyweds wanted what they got, they got back to the table. Bless made sure Cat was strapped in snug in her stroller.
"Honey, do you want your milk?" Bless asked Catherine opening the milk for her and put the straw in so she could drink.
"Miwk." The little girl mentioned with a smile.
"Do you want to sit on my lap or do you want to stay in your stroller?" The young mom asked her daughter.
The little girl reached her arms out for her mommy to carry her.
The young mother decided to get Cat out of her stroller and reached in to let the little bundle of joy sat on her lap helping her daughter hold the carton bringing the straw to her lips.
"Mmmmmmm...is that yummy?" Bless asked the sweet little angel.
The little girl squeaked happily drinking her chocolate milk.
Bless giggled and wiped her mouth with a napkin.
A few minutes later, the British brawler arrived when he saw Bless along with the baby and Drew eating breakfast and enjoying their quiet little moment.
"Hello guys." The Manchester native greeted them with a warm friendly smile.
"Hey lad. Good mornin'." Drew greeted his best friend who was like an older brother to him standing up to give him a man hug.
Stu then walked over to Bless and Drew. "Good morning dear. Good morning little ray of sunshine." He kissed both girls on the head greeting them hello.
"Good morning Stuart. Have a seat and join us." Bless offered him to sit as she was getting ready to feed Cat her cereal.
"Thank you. I hope you guys don't mind me interrupting your time seeing as you two need to talk to me about something. Sounds kinda serious." Stu was wondering what he was going to hear from the couple as soon as he had gotten a text from Drew.
"No, not at all Stu. Drew and I caught you at a good time to talk because he and I need to talk to you about Catherine and regarding her mother."
"You two know about Riley?" He asked the couple about his ex-girlfriend who was his long time college girlfriend who was his classmate in his marine biology class. They hit it off quite well, dated, fell in love, and drifted off one he started his wrestling career he hadn't heard from her again and was now wondering what they knew about his past.
Bless sighed. "Not exactly big man but last night Darren, respectively William Regal and I spoke last night and to my discovery, he told me that Catherine looks like you. Before you and Riley split up, did she mention anything to you about the possibility of Cat being your daughter or she had a baby?"
The British brawler shook his head that he had no clue till now. "No. Not since we split she hadn't mentioned to me about the baby or being pregnant. Had I known, she would've told me."
"Baby, do you think Riley hid the pregnancy from Shtu and never told him?" Drew turned to his wife.
"I think so hon. I just have this feeling maybe she didn't want to be a burden to Stu at that time and tried moving on without him and was too scared to tell him about Cat."
"Had she just told me, I would've stepped up to the plate to be a father and be there for them both." The Manchester wrestler told the couple he would've taken better care of Riley and the baby .
"Tu Tu sad?" Catherine asked when she saw her godfather look sad from her mother's lap even though she didn't understand what was going on.
Bless smiled sadly down at her sweet little girl. "Yeah baby. Uncle Stu is sad."
"Unca Tu Tu, no sad." The little angel told him reaching her arms for him to carry her as he chuckled softly at how sweet the little girl was being towards him. His heart just melted looking into her green eyes that mirrored his own. This was the little girl that he and Riley created from their love and here he was staring at his own flesh and blood. She was a beautiful replica of her mother and him combined.
"No be sad Unca Stu. I wuv you." Cat wrapped her little arms around his thick neck.
The moment Stu felt Cat hugged him, he cried tears of joy just staring at his beautiful bundle of joy and just hugged her. She was so lucky that Drew and Bless took her in and treated her like family. He felt grateful they could give her everything he couldn't while he still had been training but thankfully for his friends, they had her and she was in great care.
"Unca Stu, don't be sad." Cat told him wiping his wife with her tiny little hands hating to see him sad.
Even though Cat didn't know she had him as her daddy, he was still blessed to be called Uncle Stu. He hoped to one day to tell her the truth when she was a little bit older. He'd just rather enjoy the moment of just spending more time with her. Right now, she was just too little to understand what was going on.
"Don't worry little love, these are just happy tears." Stu chuckled softly kissing her forehead as the couple admired the father and daughter interaction between them.
Drew and Bless could see how much Stu loved this little girl and had treated her as if she was his own already.
"Okay." Cat nodded with a warm smile and proceeded to hug her Uncle to make him feel better. "Thank you love. I feel a lot better." Stu let Catherine know embracing her little frame into his chest.
"I happy you happy Unca Stu." Cat told him kissing his nose and hugged him around his chest.
Stu was glad to have such a well mannered and sweet little girl. He knew she had her mother's trait. He could say the same when he first dated Riley and could see her shining in Catherine. Stu definitely missed his ex after hearing of her death but her legacy would still be with their baby daughter whom he held in his arms.
He hoped he got to see her more often when he wasn't on the road or when Drew and Bless brought her with the kids when they came to visit. He wanted to make sure to spend as much time with Cat and watch her grow up since he missed her being born. Thankfully he had Drew and Bless bring him pictures or when they showed the kids all grown up.
A few minutes Drew's cellphone went off as he looked down at the ID to see Heath had reminded him to meet before ten along with Jinder since they had an autograph meet and greet down at one of the malls.
"Heath?" Bless knew after breakfast he had to meet with the boys for an autograph meet and greet since she had it in her planner. She was very resourceful when it came to help being organized with his schedules when he was on the road.
"Yup. I have to leave before ten to meet them at the car."
"Dada, no go..." Catherine hated when her daddy left her.
"Sweetpea, it's only for a few hours. I promise when after your nap, I'll spend more time with you and your baby brother and sister."
"Dada...no go..." The little girl told him sniffling looking at him with teary eyes.
"Awwwww...sweetpea, don't cry. You have mummy at least to spend time with you while I'm gone and when I come back, I'll read you any bed time story you want okay?" He made a deal with his daughter.
"Otay." The little girl agreed with a small smile and hoped he kept that promise.
"Honey, are you still tired and want to take a nap?" Bless asked Cat who gave out a yawn and was rubbing her eyes.
The small toddler whimpered softly as Bless gathered the small girl in her arms and gave her her pacifier suckling on it while the young mom rubbed her back.
"That reminds me, I think I have to go with you guys too to the signing so I hope you don't mind if I catch a lift with you bro." The Manchester native asked his best friend.
"Sure man." Drew didn't mind if his best bud tagged along that way they could talk more along the way.
"Honey, I think I'm going up to our room to put this little bundle up for her nap."
Drew nodded understanding knowing their little girl was still cranky.
"I'll see you two when I get back after lunch." The Scot kissed both his girls before he had to run.
"Stu, any time you want to schedule a DNA test, feel free to let me know and I'll set everything up." Bless let Stu know to schedule an appointment to find out whether Cat was his or not.
"I will. Thanks Bless." Since the boys had to eat and run, Bless brought their daughter back to their room to put her down for her nap.
