Chapter 98

***Chastity***

Tuesday, and Wednesday, during the day I spent mostly with Lexi as everyone else had responsibilities. Wednesday I took her over to the pack hospital to meet midwife Wanda. It was nice catching up with her, and she was impressed with Lexi. We even got to be involved in examining a pregnant female who came in for a check. Lexi really loved watching the ultrasound, and the expectant parent’s faces seeing their

pup.

Wednesday evening, after dinner I started Thanksgiving dinner prep. I had the pies done, and the dough. for the rolls rising. Thanksgiving morning I was up before anyone else in the house to get the turkey going. As soon as that was done I started making my croissants, and coffee. I was taking a tray out of the oven when Lexi, Molly, and Melissa wandered into the kitchen..

“Good morning. What are you three doing in here this early?” I asked as I started another tray for croissants.

“We’re here to help.” Molly responded.

“Oh. Well I won’t really start until around 10:00.” I said.

“Then why are you up so early?” Lexi yawned.

“I had to put the turkey in the oven. I also wanted to make breakfast. Coffee is done, if you want some.” I explained.

“Oh thank the goddess.” Lexi grumbled, and got herself some coffee.

“Is there anything we can do?” Melissa asked.

“Set the table please. Beth, Lucy, and Tina are off today.” I requested.

The girls left the room to set the table for breakfast, and I started eggs, and bacon. Breakfast went quickly. I was shocked when I walked into the kitchen after eating breakfast to find Naomi washing dishes. When I tried to help, she shooed me away saying I was cooking for the day so she was going to clean up. At 10:00 Lexi, Molly, and Melissa showed back up in the kitchen.

I ended up giving them a big bag of potatoes to peel, cut, and prep.

“Naomi, are you going to help cook?” Lexi asked as Naomi was pulling ingredients for me.

“Someone would end of sick if I cooked.” Naomi answered with a shake of her head.

“You never learned to cook?”

“I tried, but I always ended up doing something wrong. It either burned, or was under cooked. Jane, and Brinna even tried to teach me, but it never went well.”

“Ah.”

“What about you three?”

“I can’t cook to save my life, but I can bake, and decorate like nobody’s business.” Lexi responded.

“I can cook. I’m picky about what I cook. I hate cooking chicken. It’s just gross.” Melissa said wrinkling

her nose.

“I agree with you there.” Naomi said.

“I can cook. Better now as I use the cookbook in here.” Molly said.

“I remember when Jane, and Brinna made that. They wanted me to help so I typed it up for them. They were so excited about it.” Naomi said, with a watery smile.

“Were you close with them?” Melissa asked.

“I was. They were amazing females. They never judged me for my inabilities either. They just found ways to focus on my strengths.” Naomi whispered.

“You miss them?” I asked as I worked.

“Very much. I can’t help, but think if Jane was still alive, I wouldn’t have fallen in with Aurora. I really screwed up there.” Naomi whispered.

“You can’t dwell on the past Naomi. It’s not healthy.” I said.

“…how can i not?”

“Realize you can’t change it, and holding onto it, only holds you back.”

“….I guess. Do you need some help with something?”

“Why don’t you wash, and cut up the vegetables for the salad?”

“Sure.”

We all spent the next couple hours working, and chatting. We learned a lot about Naomi we didn’t know. Her love of fashion hadn’t surprised me, but Molly, and Melissa asked her a lot of question. She followed that with telling us stories about my mom, and Jane. She had all of us in tears from laughing at some of the things the two females got up. At one point, I guess we got loud, disturbing the males from their male bonding as Rowen, Jax, Colby, and Ross came to check on us.
