Chapter 120:

Pythia POV:

Today was the day we decided to venture out and go to the human mall. We have made good progress with the humans and have allowed them to come and visit our lands. We started building different schools so that all our children could mingle with each other and so far there hasn't been any problems. Beth is close to having little Spencer but she wanted to come anyway. "Are we all ready?" I asked, looking around. We had the kids tucked in their strollers and we were all dressed in comfortable clothes. "I know I am, we have an entire day of planning to do." Ambrosia said happily. "Are you sure it's safe for us to teleport?" I asked, looking at Lucinda. "I promise it is. Now everyone, grab onto each other." Lucinda said with a smile. I had one hand on the stroller and the other hand on Delilah. I was glad she decided to come. She was worried that her size would scare some of the humans but in truth they will have to get used to her if they want to come around. 

Some of them have seen Ember but Delilah preferred to stay hidden since she is a lot bigger. In the blink of an eye we were all standing outside of the mall where no one else was. "I should be hidden." Delilah said. "No you shouldn't be. Stop worrying. It's better that they see you instead of walking into an invisible wall." I replied easily. As we walked in everyone turned to look at us. "At least this is kind of normal to them." Alley said easily. "Remember the last time we were here." I replied. "I still don't think they meant any harm. Heads up ladies and let's get this day started." Ambrosia said confidently. "This place is beautiful." Lucinda said, looking around. "After we do some shopping we can get something to eat. Whatever Beth wants." I said, slinging my arm around her shoulder. "I'm not sure I even know what I want because it all smells so good." Beth giggled. "I want to look at everything." Lucinda said, I looked at her and her eyes were wide. 

She had a huge smile on her face and she looked so innocently happy at everything. "We can look at everything, first let's find the dress shop so we can try those on." I said laughing. This was the ultimate girl day with our children. I had called a few days ago to make sure their dresses would be in with the color I had picked out, so we decided to decorate the area much like the celebration was. We wanted to use elements and our pack colors. I left Tyes mom in charge of all that because she practically begged me to and I wasn't going to tell her no. We finally made it around to the dress shop and they rearranged everything so Delilah had enough room to walk comfortably in without knocking things over. "Welcome! We have been waiting on you guys. I have the dresses waiting for you ladies to try on." The lady said. "You must be Tiffany. It is very nice to meet you. Thank you so much for doing this for me. I'm Pythia, that is Ambrosia, Alley, Beth, Lucinda and that beauty is Delilah." I said with a smile. 

Tiffanys face never broke off a smile and when her eyes landed on Delilah it was nothing short of amazement. "May I?" She asked with a wide smile. "Of course. She may grunt though but she always does that." I laughed. Tiffany walked over to Delilah who towered over her. Delilah looked down and tilted her head to the side. Tiffany stretched her arm up and gently touched the side of Delilahs face and she giggled. "She is so soft! And fluffy! You are so pretty Delilah." Tiffany giggled. Delilah huffed, scaring Tiffany before she laughed. "This is my first time seeing an actual wolf, I'm sorry I'm gushing." Tiffany said. "It's okay, Delilah secretly likes the attention." I laughed before walking to the back. When I rounded the corner I saw all the dresses lined up against the wall and they looked stunning. On each dress it had all their names so they knew which one was theirs. All the dresses were emerald green but each had a different design with different material. For Beth her dress had a lace layover with rhinestones that caressed the top, it had a lace layover and the material was stretchy. 

Lucinda had a satin dress that hung off her shoulders that dropped into a V shape, Alley wanted a long sleeve open back dress that I was happy to have made for her. The only dress that was different was Ambrosias because she was my maid of honor, her dress had a lace open top that draped lace stripes down her back, it had a black waist band that had emerald green stones around it. My dress was Ivory white with an emerald green waistband. I had decided on long sleeves with a lace top cover with stretchy material because we all know I might get a little bigger but hopefully not by much. "These are beautiful!" Beth gushed. "Thank you, let's try them on so we know if they need to make any adjustments or not." I said with a smile. We each grabbed our dresses and walked into a room. "If you ladies need any help just let me know!" Tiffany yelled out. She was still loving Delilah and that made me smile and I'm sure that put her mind more at ease. 

I slipped my dress over my little bump and looked in the mirror, it fit perfectly and had a little fluff at the bottom just the way I wanted it to be. I reached around and zipped up the back before I stepped out, the other ladies had their dresses on and helped each other. "You all look beautiful!" I said, smiling at them. "You're the one to talk. You look absolutely stunning! It fits you so well." Ambrosia said smiling. "Beth? How does yours fit?" I asked, looking at her. "Actually really good. The material was a great idea. I really love it." Beth said, smiling looking at herself. "You ladies look great! Do I need to make any adjustments?" Tiffany asked. "No, I think we are good. When will the kids' outfits arrive?" I asked. "They should be in tomorrow, I can deliver all this stuff to you so you don't have to get back out." Tiffany replied easily. "That would be great, thank you so much for helping us." I said with a smile. I took one last look in the mirror to admire it. I never thought I would be having a wedding like this but I am glad for it. "We can get some food and then go look at some other stuff. Maybe we can find some cute little clothes for the kids." I said. "I am starving all of a sudden." Beth giggled. 

We all stepped back into our dressing rooms and quickly changed. When I hung my dress back up and walked back out I saw a crowd had gathered around Delilah. I pushed the stroller forward and cleared my throat. "You are a queen right? Is she your guard?" A young boy asked. "I am and yes, this is Delilah and she is my wolf." I replied casually. "Can we touch her?" A little girl asked. "Of course, she doesn't bite. Delilah can you lay down please?" I said looking at her. She huffed in response, making me laugh. She laid down and some of the kids ran to her. "What's going on?" Ambrosia asked. "Delilah has attracted children." I replied. "You are the other queen right? Of the vampires. Your eyes look super cool." Another boy said, looking at her. "Ambrosia is my name but yes I am." Ambrosia replied coolly. "Do you have a wolf too? Can we see it?" He asked, making us laugh. "Her name is Sage and she is within me. She is sleeping at the moment." Ambrosia said with a smile. 

I let the kids love on Delilah while I woke up Apollo, "Mommy I'm tired." Apollo croaked out. "You have been sleeping a while, we are going to get food." I replied. His little eyes opened wide at the sound of him being able to have food. "Delilah!" Apollo yelled out. "It's okay, they are loving on her." I quickly said. Apollo squirmed in his seat until I unbuckled him and put him on the floor. He ran straight to Delilah and tucked himself under her chin. She wrapped a paw around him and pulled him closer to her. "It must be so cool growing up around wolves." A girl said. "There are only two wolves that stay like this. She is one of them. We can shift at any time but only if it is needed." Alley said. "Alright kids, let them go get something to eat." Tiffany said, walking up to us. They all grumbled but left the shop. "My Delilah." Apollo growled, wrapping his arms around her. "Ah I see you have reached the non sharing stage." Alley giggled. I nodded my head and walked up to Apollo. 

I picked him up and sat him on her back. "You have to share her sometimes Apollo, they won't hurt her I promise." I said. "They will be nice to Lilah?" Apollo asked. "Yes my little wolf they will." I said with a smile. His face scrunched up until he finally nodded. When we walked out of the shop we ran into our mates. "What are you guys doing here?" I asked. "I got a call that our suits were in so we came to try them on." Tye said, rubbing the back of his neck. I rolled my eyes and hugged him. "Yeah, I'm sure you did." I muttered. "Okay so we were a little worried and wanted to check on you ladies." Jackson said walking up to Ambrosia. "We will buy you all lunch." Stephan offered. "You bet you are all buying lunch." Beth said, hugging Jasper. "Let's go momma Lucinda!" Jenson said, hooking his arm in hers and pulled her forward. "Apollo doesn't like to share, I hear." Tye whispered. "No, he thought they were hurting her at first." I replied.

I looked up at Apollo and it was as if he was king of the world right now. We made our way towards the food court area and we found an open table that had enough room for all of us. As we sat down everyone looked at us before they looked at Apollo sitting on Delilah. I know in their minds it wasn't a normal thing to do and even though it is perfectly safe I could feel their emotions about it. They were worried he would fall off and get hurt, I was surprised none of them thought maliciously, they are curious about us but don't want to come up and interrupt us. Our men were intimidating them for the right reasons. Some of them knew about mates and knew how the men are protective but what they didn't know was who we actually were. We women tend to be more protective of our men and we are all equal. My hope is to one day show them that they can come up to us at any point and not feel scared or worried that they might offend us. 

All our children were awake and were piled around Delilah. She gladly laid down and let them climb all over her. "So what sounds good?" I asked. "A cheeseburger sounds good to me." Beth replied. "You can have whatever you want." Jasper said, kissing the side of her head. "It's best not to let these two get overly hungry." Tye muttered. "We aren't that bad." I replied. Beth lowered her head smiling while the others gave me a look. "Okay maybe we do get a little bad but not that bad." I added. A waitress walked up to us adjusting herself and I mentally rolled my eyes. "Hello everyone, I'm Sandra, what can I get for you?" She asked with a full on smile. "Sodas will be fine and some water, please and thank you." Lucinda said not even looking up from her menu. Sandra nodded her head and walked off. We all looked at her and when she finally looked up from her menu she shrugged her shoulders. "Don't look at me like that, I know what she is thinking." Lucinda said.

Of course she did, I'm sure her thoughts were far from pure, When Sandra came back I could smell she added some perfume. She pulled out a notepad and waited for us to order. Our men looked around to us feeling a little awkward, "We will all just have cheese burgers and fries please." I said sweetly. "Is there anything else that I can get for you?" Sandra asked, looking at Jackson. "You could ease up on the perfume next time you come out." Ambrosia said looking right at her, Sandras face lit up scarlet red before she walked off. "Really." I said. "What? It stinks, she needs to cool down on it." Ambrosia shrugged. When our food came out it wasn't Sandra that we saw, instead it was a younger boy who paid no mind to us like she did. We all grabbed our food and started to eat and talk about where we wanted to go next. This was going to be a long but fun day.
