"Hi mommy. Am I in twouble?" Catherine asked her mommy and daddy who came in the room to talk with her before tucking her into bed.
Bless giggled softly shaking her head. "No you're not sweetheart. Do you mind if daddy and I talked to you about something?" Her mom asked the little girl.
Catherine nodded as Drew smiled and placed the little girl on his lap before planting a small kiss on her head.
"Honey, I know this is going to be a little hard for you to understand since you're little but daddy and I promise to explain more of this when you're a little more older. Hon, how would you feel if you had another daddy?" Bless asked her daughter as she bit her bottom lip not sure how Cat would respond to asking her before Drew reached out and squeezed her hand.
Cat looked a little confused looking at her mommy and daddy. "I have 'nother dada?" The toddler asked her mommy.
Bless nodded. "Yes you do baby. Remember how you asked about your real mommy and daddy?"
The small girl nodded remembering so little about her parents and wondered about them.
"Honey, we found out your Uncle Stu is your real daddy. The bad man who hurt your real mommy isn't really your daddy." Bless tried to word it best that way Catherine understand.
"Unca Stuy is my daddy?" Catherine tried understand the what her mom was saying.
"Yes sweetheart. Uncle Darren noticed you looked like him. Daddy then noticed it with your eyes that you both have the same green eyes and curly hair."
"Why didn't daddy find me mommy?" Catherine asked a little confused and sniffled as Drew hugged her tightly.
"Hon, he never knew you were his and I think your real mommy fell in love with your daddy then ran away after likely having you and hid you from him. I guess she was only looking out for herself and wanted to try to protect you sweetheart. I think your mommy was scared to tell your dad she was scared of having you. You know in the end, I'm blessed we found you that night and you became our daughter."
"I wished mommy told him." Cat began to tear up as Bless nodded understanding her daughter what she meant. She was the innocent one in all this.
"I know baby." Bless reached to stroke her daughter's hair before wiping some of Cat's tears.
"Mama, tank you for finding me and wuving me." Cat scooted off her daddy's lap and embraced Bless.
Bless sniffled and placed a kiss on her daughter's head. "You're welcome baby. I love you so much."
"Wuv you mama." Cat let her know not wanting to let her go.
"Sweetpea..." The Scot called his daughter.
"Yes dada?" Cat asked turning to her daddy in Bless' arms.
"Cat, is it okay if Uncle Shtu is your dad even though he never knew about you?" Drew asked if it was okay with his baby girl to accept the Brit into her life if she wanted to. He didn't want to push her if she didn't want to since she was still learning about this and they would better explain it when she got a little older that way she could grasp all of it.
Cat nodded slowly. "I guess so. I wuv Unca Stuy and he wuvs me too like Unca PDay, Unca Heathy, and Unca Wandy."
The Scot was glad to hear his daughter say that and that came straight from her heart. Of course the guys loved he as if she was their own from the very beginning.
"Mama, do you tink Unca Stuy will tell me bout my weal mommy?" The adorable little girl asked if the British brawler would know more about what happened between him and her real mother.
Bless nodded with a warm smile. "I'm sure he will honey and maybe he still has pictures of her somewhere in his house that way you'll have memories of her."
Catherine sighed. "I miss my weal mommy." She told Bless looking a little sad she didn't know her real mom and hope her real daddy would tell her more about her. She hoped her real mommy was looking down from heaven at her.
Bless felt her heart break for Cat wishing she had a chance to know who her mom was and Drew hoped his best friend would let her know more about her mom since after her passing. He knew their little girl missed her real mother everyday which had to be hard for her. Thankfully now she had him and Bless as real parents and they would love her unconditionally.
"Mama, will you and dada tuck me in then will you sing to me?" Cat asked her mommy her favorite request of them tucking her in for bed then sing her a lullaby.
She smiled and nodded. "Of course we would, right daddy?" She looked up at her hubby.
"That wouldn't be a problem bonnie lassie." The Scot told his daughter with a soft smile.
"Daddy, do you think Unca Stuy will wuv me like you do and more?" The little girl wondered if Stu would love her like he did.
The wrestler chuckled softly before kissing her forehead in reassurance. "I'm sure he would baby after all he's mine and mummy's best friend and if he hurts you in any way, I'll beat him up, okay?"
Cat giggled with a cute toothy smile as Bless giggled knowing her hubby was just protective of this little girl. Cat was a daddy's girl wrapped around his finger.
After their little talk, the couple helped each other give Cat a bath, changed her into pink pj's, Bless helped her brush her teeth, and soon it was time for bed for the little princess.
"Mama, sing to me." The sleepy little girl requested as Drew smiled softly at them.
"What do you want to hear baby?" Bless asked her baby girl.
"Member that pwetty lullaby you sang to me befowe, your voice was very pretty mama."
The young mother blushed at her daughter's compliment before the one favorite lullaby flashed back in her mind that she used to sing her daughter when she sat with her on the rocking chair most nights to sing her daughter to sleep.
"Are you sure you want to hear my voice hon?" Bless asked the little one hoping she still loved her voice.
The little girl nodded. "Pease mama. You have pretty voice, right daddy, tell mama she has a pretty voice." Cat told Drew if he was right.
Drew chuckled knowing their daughter was right. Bless had a beautiful voice like an angel from heaven.
"Babe, I think you have a two to one vote. You do have a beautiful voice." The WWE Wrestler added his two cents in.
"Since I love you two. Here it goes."
Sana'y di nagmaliw ang dati kong araw
Nang munti pang bata sa piling ni Nanay
Nais kong maulit ang awit ni Inang mahal
Awit ng pag-ibig habang ako'y nasa duyan
Sana'y di nagmaliw ang dati kong araw
Nang munti pang bata sa piling ni Nanay
Nais kong maulit ang awit ni Inang mahal
Awit ng pag-ibig habang ako'y nasa duyan
Refrain:
Sa aking pagtulog na labis ang himbing
Ang bantay ko'y tala, ang tanod ko'y bituin
Sa piling ni Nanay, langit ay buhay
Puso kong may dusa sabik sa ugoy ng duyan
Sana'y di nagmaliw ang dati kong araw
Nang munti pang bata sa piling ni Nanay
Nais kong maulit ang awit ni Inang mahal
Awit ng pag-ibig habang ako'y nasa duyan
Sa aking pagtulog na labis ang himbing
Ang bantay ko'y tala, ang tanod ko'y bituin
Sa piling ni Nanay, langit ay buhay
Puso kong may dusa sabik sa ugoy ng duyan
Nais kong matulog sa dating duyan ko, Inay
(English translation)
To The Cradle's Sway
I hope my former days don't fade away
When I was a young child in Mom's arms
I want Beloved Mother's song to repeat
Song of love while I was in the cradle
In my sleep
that's very peaceful
The planets guard me
The stars watch over me
In Mom's arms
Life was like heaven
My heart that's hurting
Yearns for the sway of the cradle by you, Mom
As soon as the young mother saw Catherine peacefully asleep, she softly smiled and planted a kiss on her forehead.
"I love you baby. Sleep tight."
"Good night little lass. Sleep well little ankle bi' ya." Drew whispered softly to the sleeping toddler before kissing her head. Drew then placed Cubby in her arms and chuckled softly at the small smile on his and Bless' little angel before the couple left the room.
"I think Cat took the news well of Stu being her real father." Bless thought it was good that their daughter took the news well even though it confused her a little but she took it with stride. At least she had a better understanding to know who her real parents were.
Drew had to agree with his wife on the situation. Maybe as she got older, she would be able to understand it a little bit more better. She would get to know her real dad and more about her mom. He knew his best friend loved that little girl ever since she came into their lives and treated her like she was his own even though he never realized she was his and their relationship would get stronger as they bonded if she wanted Stu in her life.
"I agree baby. I hope we'll get to tell her more when she understands at an older age. Right now how we told her I think she understands some of it. Maybe Shtu will even tell her. The kid deserves to know about him and her mum."
"She does. I know how much she wants to know more about her mom and daddy. I'm sure Stu has all the answers we don't know." Bless nodded sitting on the bed wrapping her arms around her hubby's neck as she laid her chin on his shoulder.
"Are you calling Stu in the morning and explaining to Cat about the procedure that way she doesn't get scared, this is still all new to her." Bless thought of asking Drew if he planned on calling his best friend and talking to Cat what the procedure would be like that way she wouldn't be scared for the first time.
Drew nodded. "Don't worry babe. We'll get her through this, Cat will handle it just fine. She's brave like her real dad." He reassured his wife turning to kiss her softly. Bless smiled into the kiss and giggled softly.
"I love you."
"Love you more." The 6'5" wrestler told her in a soft loving tone.
The couple then got ready for bed before they woke up in the middle of the night to tend to Isabella and Alex.
