Chapter 106

***Chastity****

Tuesday went by pretty quickly. Lexi, and I spent the whole day with midwife Wanda. She had us watch a recent delivery video before meeting with her first patient. The female was having twins, and the father was freaking out about it. He couldn’t understand how his mate was going to push out two babies at the same time. Lexi, and I spent the whole time listening as midwife Wanda explained to the father exactly how it worked. That appointment was followed by a post partum appointment. We both learned quite a bit, and were excited to spend more time with midwife Wanda. Thursday was much the same.

Wednesday Lexi, and I spent all day dealing with Christmas presents. I finished all 3 collages, and thankfully had them wrapped before anyone made it back to the apartment. I was really happy with how they turned out I couldn’t wait for Jax, Rowen, and dad to see them. I was excited about all of the gifts I bought, but those three the most. Lexi seemed pretty excited too. I think that had more to do with her first Christmas with her mate.

Thursday was the last day for everyone for school, and work. It was a good thing Lexi, and I were at the hospital all day. It sounded like it had been a busy day for every one. Thursday evening at dinner was when I was reminded of something I forgot about, and informed of something I didn’t know.

“Everyone’s costumes arrived today. We all need to be dressed, and in the living room by 2:00.” Joe stated as we dished up our meals.

“Costumes for what?” Lexi asked.

“Santa’s visit.” Joe responded with a smile.

“Huh?” Lexi questioned.

“Every year since my grandfather’s time, on Christmas Eve, the Alpha dresses up as Santa. He walks up Main street to the town center. There is a stage, and Santa’s chair sitting there. Every pup under the age of 13, gets to sit on Santa’s lap, and gets a small gift from him.” Rowen explained.

“I forgot all about that.” I said.

“That’s sweet, but what’s with us all having to dress up, and being there?” Lexi asked.

“The Beta, Gamma, and their families have to dress up like Santa’s elves.” Melissa answered.

“Really? All of you have to dress up as elves? That’s cute.” I said with a smile.

“Um. Sweet girl, you have to dress up too.” Rowen chuckled.

“I do?”

“Of course. You’re the Beta’s daughter, and my mate. You are as much a part of this as the rest of us.”

“Oh. Ok. What do I have to do?”

“Well I need someone to take pictures. Several people to sort the gifts. I also need some to keep people organized.” Joe stated.

“That’s a lot of presents to sort out.” Molly said.

“They will be sorted on tables by age, and each gift will have a label in it.” Joe explained.

“How will that work?”

“Each of you will have an age group. I’ll tell you the pup’s name, you grab the gift, and hand it to me. The gifts will also be sorted in Alphabetical order.”

“Thank you Molly.”

“Pete, and I will keep everything in order ” Dad offered.

“Chassy girl, I have a special job for you.” Joe said to me, and smiled.

“What’s that?” I asked nervously.

“The infants, and toddlers some times get scared of Santa. I need you to calm them enough to get their present, and picture.”

“Oh ok. I can do that.”

“Thank you.”

“Joe, what do you do for the pups that are over 13?” Molly asked.

“There will be a couple of tables that have things that interest teens. Each one will be allowed to pick one thing out.” Joe answered.

“What kinds of things?”

“Books, craft items, make up kits, hair accessories, small hand weight sets, sports equipment such as baseballs basket balls soccer balls and foot balls, work out gloves. That kind of thing.”

“Divided by gender?”

“No Divided by item, and each pup can choose what they want.”

“How do you know what to get the pups that get a Santa gift?” Lexi asked.

“We contact the parents, and ask what to get for each pup. We don’t do that so much for the teens because their tastes can change by the day. We feel it’s better to let them pick.” Joe explained.

“What if you run out of something a teen wanted?”

“We always have extra, just in case. I think we’ve run out of one item, once. Someone went to buy one, and the pup got it before the event ended.”

“It’s pretty awesome that you do this.” Molly said, with a smile.
