Valenzano POV:
Helping set up the dinner was tiring. I hope Cleo stayed in and rested as I told her to. But knowing how stubborn she is, she will not. In fact, she is probably in one of the kitchens right now. Once I had finished helping mother arrange the tables, mother kicked me out and said no one was supposed to see her work of art before the grand reveal.
I walked the borders to make sure everyone was in their position and was aware of the new shift change for today. I can't be too careful. Celebrations like this can leave a lesser pack open for attack. Everything looks good. I go back to the house to shower and take a nap with Cleo.
As I expected, she is spread out on the bed with snacks all over the covers. I must say pregnancy suits her very well. Before I take a shower, I clean off the bed and take out our outfits to wear tonight. I picked a form-fitting long hunter green sleeves to dress for her with her black Christian Louboutin flats. For myself, I would wear an all-black three-piece suit with hunter-green shoes.
After my shower and nap, I realized I needed to wake up Cleo so she could get ready for dinner. It will take her forever. So, I hope having picked her outfit already, will cut some of the time off. It is two in the afternoon, and to make sure Cleo stays on schedule, she needs to be woken up. Goddess, forbid I let her sleep longer. There will be hell to pay.
"Cleo baby wake up. We need to keep you on your schedule baby", I said in the sweetest voice possible. I don't need her to go pregzilla on me.
"No leave the food and go away", she said, with a laugh at how cute she is.
"Cleo baby, it is two in the afternoon. You need to get up and start to get ready for the dinner", she got up fast and started running around like a chicken.
"Oh, my Goddess, I have no idea what I am going to wear. Shit Val, I didn't even think about that", she said in a panic.
"Baby, shhh it's okay I got your clothes out already. What I need you to do is relax while I run you shower", I said as I kissed her forehead.
"Don't try it, mister, we don't have time for a quickie", she said in a serious tone as she wrapped up her hair.
"You are right, we don't because I never give it to you quick", I said with a wink as I walked into the bathroom to start her shower.
Washing Cleo was hard to do and keep my hardness in check. She hasn’t shaved since she got bigger, and she refused to let me do it. I must say this natural side of her is turning me and Vintage on. I dried her off, oiled her down, and argued about underwear. We came to a compromise, and I said she has to wear a maternity bra and no underwear if she likes. When she was finally dressed, I looked at the clock.
It was almost four. Like where the hell did the time go. Why does it take that long for a woman to get dressed with help? She sat at the vanity and said she needed to handle her hair. I told her to have fun while I got ready myself. It took me twenty minutes to get dressed and she still wasn't done with her hair.
"Baby, I know you want to be on time. Do you need help with your hair?", I asked, faking patience like a Saint.
"Val, I just finished oiling my scalp. I don't know if I should wear the twist up or down", she said, sounding like she was about to cry.
"Down baby, wear them down. I like the way they bounce off your ass as you walk. And besides, with them covering your ass, no one will know you are not wearing underwear", I said as I helped her up.
I walked around her one time and placed my hand on her stomach to feel the pups move and say, "Baby you look beautiful".
"You sure stomach and all", she said with a smile and turned around to give me a 360 view.
"Even more beautiful with the stomach", I said as I kissed her lips.
I look it at the time. It was not four-thirty, the first round of people would start coming at five. We will have to go to the grand hall where West, father, mother, and Jazz are waiting.
I am glad Valenzano still thinks I am sexy even with this big-ass stomach. We will go to the grand hall where West, father, mother, and Jazz are waiting for us. Honestly, I can't wait to see what Claret did with the décor. When the guards opened the door, we were all in awe and Claret looked proud of herself as she should be.
Every table had different colored cornucopias on them. Some are brown, green, red, yellow, and orange, the color of fall. The dinnerware was all gold plates, the table linen was orange with a green leaf pattern placed at the hem of them.
"Wow, Claret, you did an amazing job. Thank you, this is beautiful", I said as I took another look around.
"You are welcome, my dear", she replied, as everyone smiled at the moment.
We all take our seats at the head table. Val and I are in the middle, while West and Jazz are on his right side, while his parents sit on our left. I must say the dinner went on without a hitch.
Everyone greets us before taking their seats. Once everyone for this round is in, the buffet is open. Val brings me a place with everything on it. The music is going on, people are chatting and having a great time.
"Babe, are you going to make a speech? This is your dinner after all", he said. I was so shocked I literally dropped food on my plate.
"How about you make the first speech and the next round I will make one", I said as I continued to stuff my face.
"May I have your attention, please? On behalf of all of us in the Pinot family, we will like to thank you for coming to this dinner your future Luna made happen. And I will like to thank all of those who helped her make this day possible. Let's have a toast to Cleopatra Noir, my mate, and your future Luna, and also to the future Alpha she is carrying inside her. Thank you again". Wow, his speech was great.
"Nice speech but I noticed how you didn't mention Thanksgiving", I said as I kissed him.
"I will let you do that since it is your holiday", he said as he stuffed the cornbread in my mouth.
There is an hour break between rounds of people so the tables can be clean, and we can digest our food. I have a feeling that by the time this night is over all six of us will have matching stomachs. When the next round started, we were great, people were seated, and the buffet was refiled and open. I waited about twenty minutes before starting my speech.
"Can I have your attention, please? "We will like to thank you all for attending our Thanksgiving dinner. It means so much to Valenzano, West, Jazz, and me. I know this celebration is something that has never happened before, and appreciate you all for making this dinner happen. Today is Thanksgiving, a human holiday. But today we celebrate it as a pack. Valenzano, West, Jazz, and I are thankful for all the work everyone in the pack do. From the Omegas to every pack member. Our pack would not be as strong as it is without the hard work all of you do. And if you all agree, we will have this celebration every year to show you all how much we are thankful for all you do. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.", everyone stood and clapped.
"Spoken like a true Luna", Val, West, Francis, and Claret said. Jazz gave me two thumbs up.
The dinner was coming to an end. I ate my weight in food. I was surprised Val was able to pick me up and walk upstairs with me. He takes my clothes off and stares at me. I know he wants to be inside me but I am beyond tired and he knows it, so he just kisses my forehead and tucks me, and holds me until we both sleep.
