Chapter 108

***Chastity***

Beep Beep Beep***

I lifted my head to look at the clock. I set it to wake me up at 5:00 this morning so I could get breakfast going. I smiled when Rowen groaned, and tightened his arm around me for a moment then buried his face into the back of my head. He did that every morning, and it always reminded me of a pup. With a quiet sigh I slipped out of his hold, and went to shower!

“Morning Chastity. Merry Christmas.” Leila said to me groggily.

“Good morning Leila. Merry Christmas.” I chirped back.

“You did good last night.” Leila said with a giggle.

“What?”

“With mate. You wanted to try something so you swallowed your nerves, and did it. I’m proud if you.”

“Oh. I.”

“Don’t get embarrassed. You didn’t do anything wrong.”

“Yeah, but…”

“I promise Chastity”

“It’s just hard Leila.”

“I know, but I hope you’re a little more comfortable now.

“A little.”

“Good. I’m going back to sleep.”

I giggled as Leila curled up, and fell back to sleep. Once I was done my shower I dressed in a pair of Christmas leggings, and an over sized sweater that matched. After braiding my hair, I left the bathroom. I smiled at the normal sight of Rowen asleep on his back with Lilac curled up on his chest, right under his chin. They looked cute like that. After snapping a quick picture of them, I grabbed the poster from my closet, and made my way to the kitchen. I was just getting ready to get everything started when Lexi walked in.

“What are you doing up?” I asked.

“I always wake up early on Christmas.” Lexi answered.

“Oh.”

“Do you want some help?”

“Sure. Can you roll out the dough in that bowl, and cut it into triangles please?”

“OK.”

Lexi grabbed the bowl I indicated, and started rolling. We worked together in silence for a bit. I liked this. It was nice having her in here with me.

“So for our poster, are we just going to unroll it, and show everyone?” Lexi asked as I put the first batch of rolls in the oven.

t was thinking about that. There is an old cork board in the attic we could pin it to than flip it around for everyone to see.” I answered.

“Ok. 1 can go with you to get it ”

“Alright.”

I set up another tray of rolls before leading Lexi to the attic quietly. I hadn’t been up here since the day! left for school. I was a little nervous for some reason, but I didn’t let it bother me. I switched on the lights before heading up the stairs. The first thing I noticed was someone had cleaned the stairs, and got rid of all the cobwebs. When we reached the top of the stairs I was surprised to see someone had also organized all of the stuff up here.

“You used to live up here?” Lexi asked as I made my way over to where I remembered the cork board had been.

“Yes. I slept on the mattress over there.” I responded as I pointed in the direction of where my space was “What mattress?”

“Huh?”

I turned, and saw my little corner was cleared out. The mattress, broken nightstand, dresser, and mirror were gone. So were my old clothes. The entire area had been cleaned. I wondered who did all of this. Not that it mattered. I shrugged, and found the cork board. It was a little bigger than I remembered, but that wasn’t an issue. I was relieved to see it had pins already. I grabbed it then Lexi, and I headed back to the kitchen.

Lexi took over attaching the poster to the cork board while I got back to cooking. When Lexi finished with the poster, she put it in the spot we agreed on, and got back to helping me with breakfast. At one point I heard something coming from the living room. I found Joe already up, and looked to be sorting through the gifts.

“We’re supposed to open gifts as a group after breakfast, Joe. No peeking.” I said with a giggle.

“Goddess Chassy girl, you scared me.” Joe said, placing a hand on his chest.

“Are you trying to peek at your gifts?”

“No. Since there are so many people living in the house, we sort the gifts into piles for each person. Dimi, and Pete will be down soon to help.”

“Oh ok.”

“By the way, it’s your dad who tries to peek at his gifts.

I giggled, shook my head, and went back to the kitchen, I was a little surprised to hear my dad was so impatient with gifts. At some point Naomi joined us in the kitchen, washed dishes, and set the table. I was putting food on the table as everyone was coming in. Rowen gave me a huge smile, and kissed me just as he had the morning before causing me to smile at him.

“Merry Christmas sweet girl.” Rowen said as he sat next to me.

“Merry Christmas Rowen.” I responded.

Food was quickly dispersed, and we all seemed to eat in silence. Seeing everyone almost inhale their food made me laugh. I couldn’t help it, everyone of us was acting like an over excited pup. When the meal was done everyone ran their dishes to the kitchen, dumped them then headed to the living room. Everyone was spread out when I made it to the living room. It had been rearranged to accommodate all the gifts. The largest couch was facing the Christmas tree though.

HANG ON EVERYONE tolled out after a quick giggle at all the excited faces

We mana open our presents Chastity Why do we have to wait?” Braxton whined, making me laugh

“Lext, and I have a gift for all of you first Rowen, and Colby sit in the center of the couch, everyone else find places around them “I instructed

With some grumbles, and groans everyone moved to the large couch. Lexi, and I went to get the cork board then stood in front of the tree. We flipped it around, with huge smiles on our faces then waited The sign read

CHASTITY BLOOMFIELD AND LEXI BLOOMFIELD WILL GRADUATE CLOVERLAND NURSING, AND MIDWIFE SCHOOL ON DECEMBER 15 NEXT YEAR!

“Does this mean Rowen started then stopped, looking at me with wide eyes.

I bit my lip, and nodded laughed when Rowen jumped up, whooped, jumped over the coffee table, and ran toward me. As soon as he reached me, he picked me up, and swung me around, making me laughing. as I hung onto him.

So you’ll be home early?” Molly finally asked

“Yes. I will” I answered once Rowen put me down, but held onto me.

Tll be staying in Dark Moon until Colby is done at Denu.” Lexi added

“You you’ll really be home in less than 3 years?” Dad asked

“Yes.” I answered.

“How?”

Dean Leonard told us that we don’t need a degree in nursing to be a midwife. We’re both doing extremely well in our midwifery classes, plus Wanda called him about our time spent with her. The midwife program is only a year, and a half long. If we both dropped nursing we would finished sooner” Lexi explained

“We both decided to drop nursing.” I added

“Is that really what you wanted to do, sweet girl?” Rowen asked quietly.

It is I was only taking nursing because I thought I needed that to be a midwife If I ever want to become a nurse I can get a certificate by working at the pack hospital” I responded
