**Valenzano POV: **
Cleo has been mad ever since Nar was executed. She needs to understand it had to be done. I could have lost her and our pups due to his failure to do his job. She has been sleeping in her old room. Her emotions are making Vintage and I restless, it broke my heart to see her cry with Nar mate at his execution. But what's done is done and I can guarantee another patroller won't sleep on the job anytime soon.
I decided to give her some space, but the Omega is telling me she hasn't eaten breakfast or lunch today and she is still asleep. I won't tolerate her skipping meals. It is bad for our pups, and she knows it. On my way to her room to wake her, I got a mind link from the border patrol saying Cleo has a guest. He tells me Luna Nutri is asking for permission to enter the pack lands with a gift for Cleo. Great. Just what I need. The Luna of the pack that slaughtered her is here for a visit.
Maybe a visitor will be good for Cleo. So, I told the border patrol to let her in. I mind link Jazz, so she is waiting for Luna Nutri in the dining room. Also, I mind link an Omega to bring food for the ladies. As I get to Cleo's room, she is still asleep and naked at that. My dick jumps to attention. Gently I tried to wake her up. I know she knows I am in the room. As she woke up, she told me to go away. Looking at the clock it was 1 p.m., telling her she had a visitor, she got up and took her sweet time getting ready.
I decided not to tell her who is here. Watching her move as slowly as she can be starting to irritate me. But I can't stop looking at her breasts and stomach. Both are bigger, much bigger than she was weeks ago. She finally attempts to get dressed, noticing she does not have a bra and panties to wear. Yesterday, I went out and brought her a set of prenatal underwear and bras.
"Valenzano, I am not wearing those", she said as she snatched the set and threw it on the bed.
"Cleo, you are not going to walk around with no bra or panties on", trying to hold my temper. I grabbed the set and threw it softly at her.
"Valenzano, my breasts are too sore to wear a bra, I can't put panties on without help", she says with a whine.
"Baby I am aware, but this is a maternity bra. They are more comfortable than a regular bra, the panties are maternity as well. You don't have to put them up, there are snap buttons on the side of them", I said with a smirk, the look on her face was priceless.
She put on the bra and panties, and I can tell she feels comfortable in them. Finally dressed, we walked slowly downstairs. Taking one step at a time while I held her hand. I can smell the bacon cooking and hear her stomach growl. My little Alpha and princess are hungry. Walking into the dining room, Jazz and Luna Nutri are deep in conversation. They spotted us and stopped talking. Nutri greeted us.
"Alpha Valenzano", Luna Nutri greeted me.
"Hello Luna Nutri", I replied.
"Hello Cleo, Nutri said.
I hate that she called Cleo by her name but, technically, she is not Luna yet. I took a seat next to Cleo and ate as the ladies talked. Nutri handed her a box. When Cleo opened it, she started to cry.
**Cleo POV: **
"Cleo baby wake up", I heard Valenzano say. I slept in my old room after Vintage executed the patroller in front of his wife and baby.
"Go the fuck away Valenzano, I don't want to see you right now", I said, trying not to flip out.
"Cleo, it's 1 p.m., you haven't eaten breakfast or lunch and you have a visitor", he said, trying to control his temper. I can feel that he is pissed I haven't eaten.
"Whoever it is, I don't want to see anyone. And if you care about me eating, have someone bring me some food", I said, getting up to use the bathroom. I took all night to get the babies to stop kicking inside of me. Now he is here, and they are on full alert.
"No, you are going to come downstairs, see your visitor and eat", his eyes flashed gold. Vintage is fighting him for control.
"Fine! I will go, let me get ready and I will meet you downstairs", I said reluctantly.
"No! I will wait. I don't want you to take the stairs by yourself again", he said, stretching the word again as she leaned against the bathroom door.
I take my time and have a nice long bath. I don't know who is here but he or she will have to wait. Valenzano did not move an inch. He literally stayed in the same spot while I took my bath, oiled my scalp, and got dressed.
Carrying multiple babies takes a lot out of the body and someone's wardrobe. I have been wearing dresses and leggings. I hate wearing underwear, shoes, and a bra. Valenzano refuses to allow me to walk around the house naked. I grab a black t-shirt dress, and navy leggings, paired with red socks. Out of nowhere, Valenzano hands me a bra and panties. I look at him and roll my eyes.
"Valenzano I am not wearing those", I said as I threw the set on the bed.
"Cleo you are not going to walk around with no bra or panties on", he said as he grabbed the set and threw them at me. Trying to hold his temper.
"Valenzano, my breasts are too sore to wear a bra, I can't put panties on without help", I say with a whine.
"Baby, I am aware, this is a maternity bra. They are more comfortable than a regular bra, the panties are maternity as well. You don't have to put them up, there are snap buttons on the side of them", he says with a smirk.
Damn, I love him, even when I am mad at him, he still tries to make me happy. I take the set from him and put it on as he watches me. I can't believe he got the right size and boy do they feel comfortable.
Once I was fully dressed, Valenzano helped me take the steps one at a time. When we finally reached the dining room, I saw Luna Nutri sitting drinking tea with Jazz. I give Valenzano a questionable look, he just shrugs his shoulders.
"Luna Nutri, what do we owe the pleasure?", I asked as I took a seat next to Jazz.
"We got the invitation to your ceremony, and I wanted to bring you a gift", she says with a smile.
"Nutri, you didn't have to do that", I said, shocked.
"Yes, I do Cleo", she says as she looks at me on the break of tears.
She hands me a black velvet box with a red bow on it. Placing the box on the table, I opened it, removing the tissue paper. My heart stops. Inside was an opal off-the-shoulder, knee-length skeeter dress. I have seen this dress in many pictures growing up. I couldn't wait to wear this dress to marry Danny. It is the same dress my mother wore when she married my dad. I didn't realize I was crying until Valenzano wiped my tears away.
"Ho....how...did you get this", I said, looking at Nutri.
"After the war, we went through the homes of those who died. I found this dress and even though I was mad I couldn't bear to let anything happen to it", she said.
"You kept this all these years...why", I said, touching the fabric of the dress.
"It is beautiful, and I couldn't allow it to be destroyed. I guess, apart from me, knew that it would be returned to its rightful owner", she said, as she held my hand.
"My mother wore this on her wedding day. She was pregnant with me at the time. No one thought she should wear white, so she chose to wear opal", I said with a smile, remembering the story my mother told me.
"When I got your invitation, I remembered I had it in my personal closet. I knew no other dress would come close to this dress. I had to return it to you", she says as tears start to fall down her cheek.
"Thank you so much", I said as I cried tears of happiness and hugged her.
After Valenzano made me eat Jazz, Nutri and I went to my room to try on the dress. I get dressed in the bathroom and look at myself in the mirror. I can't believe how the dress fits me as it was made just for me. It's not tight around my stomach, the top is tight or loose.
Apart of me is wanting my daughter to wear this dress when she gets married. But then the realization hit me the dress will only fit she is pregnant and damn near due. I walk out of the bathroom and Jazz and Nutri gasp. Jazz runs up to me and I do a twirl so she can see the full picture.
"Damn Cleo, you look beautiful as fuck girl", Jazz said with a broad smile.
"I must agree with your friend here, you look beautiful", Nutri said.
