The Alpha’s Fight for His Omega by Jess K

Chapter 109

***Rowen***

I had to admit that this had been the best Christmas I had had since mom died. I knew if she was here she would have loved every minute of today. She probably would have gotten down on the floor with us to play our silly little game as well. Chastity didn’t realize just how much like my mom she was. My mom would have put the same amount of thought into her gifts as Chastity did.

As we sat around the table eating dinner, I thought back to the first meal I remember sitting at the table, and eating with Chastity. It seemed so long ago, but in reality it had only been 6 months. Back then she looked like she had a huge weight on her shoulders, and she was terrified of everything. I was worried. that she would never come out of her shell. I was prepared to accept her as she was, if she didn’t. Seeing her now I was in total aw of her.

In such a short time my sweet girl had bloomed, and come into her own. I knew she still struggled with her self confidence because even though she thought she hid it well, I could still see it. It was getting better, but I knew she had a ways to go. I would be with her every step of the way though. Watching her laugh with her brothers, and carry on a full scale conversation with her dad was impressive to me. To some it may not seem like much, but all of us who lived in this house knew it was a really big deal. I was pulled out of my thoughts when I felt Chastity’s lips on my cheek, and I smiled.

“What was that for?” I asked her.

“No reason. You just seemed to be off in your own little world. I wanted to bring you back to us.” Chastity said.

“Ah.”

“You ok?”

“I’m wonderful.”

I leaned forward, and kissed her on the lips quickly causing that blush I love so much.

“Do you want to come watch a movie in my apartment tonight?” I mind linked Chastity. “Sure. We didn’t really finish Transformers last time.” She responded through mind link.

“True. We can try again.”

“Alright.”

She smiled at me, and went back to eating her meal. Seeing her eating more made me happy too. In the beginning she barely ate a thing. I was glad to see she had a full appetite. It showed nicely on her as well. She was already sexy before, but now she was drool worthy, at least to me.

“Will your new schedule be a little less busy, pip-squeak?” Jax asked Chastity.

“No. The classes are going to get harder moving forward. When this next semester ends we’ll be moving into hands on classes. We need to be ready for that.” Chastity responded.

“Does that mean there will be less visits?” Molly asked with a pout.

“I will be able to come home some weekends, but Lexi, and I won’t get another week long break until Independence day Unfortunately Some colleges do a week or two in spring, then a few months in the summer. This program doesn’t allow that as it’s such an intense program.” Chastity explained.

“OH. That’s kind of sad, but we’ll make it work. It’s only for another year, right?”

“Yes. That’s part of why it’s so intense. There is a lot to learn in a short time.”

“So you, and Lexi will be official midwives when you graduate?”

“Yes, and no. We’ll have our degrees, but we need a certain number of practice hours followed by passing the license exam before we’re full fledged midwives.”

“So you won’t be moving home next winter?” I asked, suddenly really disappointed.

“No. I am, and Lexi will be when Colby finishes school.” Chastity answered.

“So how are you going to get your hours?”

“I’ll be getting my hours working with midwife Wanda. She’ll clock my hours, what I do, and my skills and abilities. When I reach a certain number of hours, and my skills are on par, she’ll contact the licensing board, and schedule my exam. I’ll have to go to Dark Moon to take the test. Once I pass it they mail me my license.”
