Chapter 121:

Pythia POV:

I was helping Tye get an overnight bag packed and ready to go. Tonight was the night we had to spend apart, I wasn't really sure what the guys had planned but I know us girls had a full night of pampering ahead of us. "Are you sure I have to leave?" Tye pouted. "Yes I am sure, and I'm pretty sure the twins and Alcide will drag you out of here." I replied. "Alcide has been overly excited about this." Tye said. "Yes, he has only because he hasn't been around much lately and he is family. He's never had that before." I replied easily. After the fight had happened Alcide and his pack went back to their lands to get some normalcy back into their lives. Olivia and a few others went with him to resettle into a new life they wanted to make for themselves. When I called him about our wedding he was more than happy to visit the days leading up to it. We extended invitations to all of the packs and even the close human towns.

Our presence has been made and they have been overly curious about us and Tye and I sat down to discuss even inviting them but my mind always drifted back to the mall, they were so curious and a lot of them loved seeing Delilah. There were no ill intentions from them, they just had curious minds so we decided to extend the invitations. Let them come be a part of something special and see what we are really like. It wouldn't be long before all of our children started attending the same school so we needed to make sure they were absolutely comfortable with us and the others. "What are you ladies going to do?" Tye asked, pulling me from my thoughts, "You know just some girly things. Manicures and Pedicures. Some hair treatments and massages." I replied. "Good, you don't need to be doing too much and neither does Beth." Tye replied. "What are you fellas going to be doing?" I asked. "Honestly I have no idea, your brothers and Alex have everything planned and they won't tell me what it is." Tye replied.

I'm sure they would be up to no good, Jasper and Jenson have been looking forward to this night for a while now. The four of them have gotten really close after everything has happened and they are the ultimate dads. Tye had literally gone out of his way to make sure Jasper knew how to change any type of diaper, and went over how to handle any kind of rash. It has been a while for them and it made me love the man more. He didn't have to help Jasper with it but he did anyway. When I finished packing up what he would need for the night we walked out of the room. "You have a few minutes with Apollo before the boys show up." I said with a smile. He didn't need to be told twice. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and we walked down the stairs. I saw our front door was open and people were bringing in all the things us ladies were going to use tonight. I peaked in the living room to see it had all been rearranged so that everything would fit. 

Tye shook his head as he picked up Apollo. "Are you going to be good for mommy?" Tye asked. "Yes. We got our nails done!" Apollo giggled. Tye turned and looked at me and I just shrugged. "It is normal for boys and men to get them too so don't look at me like that." I said, narrowing my eyes. "I wouldn't dare. Maybe one of these days we can do this together as a family." Tye said with an award winning smile. "Alright big wolf lets go!" Jasper said, clapping his hands together. "Time to leave to ladies alone for the night." Jenson said with a lopsided grin. "Promise to have him at the altar in time, Pythia." Alex added. "You three as a trio can be a scary thing." I laughed. "We won't get that bad. Besides we already know if he is late we are all signing our death certificates." Alcide said, walking in. I walked over and wrapped him up in a hug. "It's been a while. How are you?" I asked, stepping back. "I've been good, building more houses to make sure everyone fits and Olivia has been a big help with it all. How are you and the new set of twins?" Alcide asked, patting my belly. 

"We are all good. Excited for tomorrow and I want you all to listen to me very carefully. If there is a scratch or mark anywhere on him I will kick all of your asses. understood? I don't care what yall do but every limb is to be intact and not a single hair damaged." I said sternly. "I promise he will be just fine." Jenson said, kissing my temple. "Yeah sis have a little faith in us." Jasper said, kissing my cheek. I rolled my eyes at them knowing all too well that they like to play fight more than anything. "Alright, go before I change my mind and make all of you get mani and pedis." I said handing Alex Tyes bag. "That doesn't sound too bad." Alcide said. "Oh yeah? How about getting your hair done and getting waxed in all the uncomfortable areas." I replied with a smirk. "Yeah alright we are out of here." Alcide muttered. Tye stood in front of me and I took Apollo from his arms and kissed him lightly on the lips. "Have fun." I whispered. "You too. Be sure to eat and stay hydrated." Tye replied before they all walked out of the door. 

Now it was time to get something to eat and wait for the other ladies to get here so we could have a fun relaxing night. "What do you want to eat my little wolf?" I asked walking to the kitchen. "String cheese and crackers." Apollo said with a grin. Ah yes, his love for cheese has grown lately. "Go sit at the table and I'll bring you some." I said. I heard his little pitter patter of his feet running across the kitchen until the chair was pulled out. I opened the fridge and grabbed a few of the string cheeses and both of us some juice before walking to the cabinets and grabbing the crackers. Just as I sat down the front door opened again and Beth, Alley. Lucinda and Ambrosia walked in. "Are we ready?" Lucinda asked with a smile. Apollo wasted no time jumping down from the table and running straight for her. Lucinda scooped him up and hugged him closely as she walked back to the table. "I know I am, the technicians should be here soon but I was a bit hungry." I giggled. "I have food being delivered here so we don't have to worry about cooking anything and making a mess." Beth said proudly. 

I heard a knock on the door and Ambrosia went to answer it. On the porch stood all the ladies that were all too excited about helping us get ready for tomorrow. "Delilah! You are getting a bath too. A nice brush out and all." I announced with a wide smile. I heard her snort in response and I laughed. I knew she wouldn't like the idea of it but I also knew that she would feel a lot better when it was done with. "Alright ladies, what are we doing first?" A cheerful woman asked. "I would be fine with whatever they choose as long as I can still eat." I said taking a bite out of a cracker. "How about we start with pedicures and then manicures and then we can do hair and lastly we can do massages so that you are all relaxed, and don't worry mommas we have special tables for you." She replied easily. We all walked to the living room and sat on the couch. "Oh I brought little chairs for the kids so their feet can reach." The cheerful lady announced as she ran back out of the door.

"It is really nice of them to do that. Although the twins and Jessie are taking naps." Alley laughed. Artemis and Ari were playing with Apollo when she walked back in carrying three small chairs. "Here we go. Can you guys sit here and we can make your feet feel better?" She asked sweetly. All three kids eagerly sat in their chairs and put their feet into the water. "Chances are they will just splash around in the water." I whispered. "I figured, that is alright, that is why we put extra towels down." She replied, winking at me. I placed my feet in the hot water and sank back into the couch. "Are you ready for tomorrow?" Alley asked. "More than ready honestly. However if it wasn't for you mom I don't know what I would have done about the decorations and everything." I replied. "Yeah, my mom has always been the one to be a little extravagant." Alley huffed. "Uh oh, let me guess. She made you help." Ambrosia said. "We didn't mind helping but oh man if we got something wrong we would hide the rest of the day." Alley laughed.  

I could honestly see that. She wanted things done a very specific way and nothing out of detail or she would rage about it. I closed my eyes and let my mind drift off of thoughts about tomorrow. I'm more excited than nervous. In all honesty I just couldn't wait to see Tye in a suit again, he always looked so good in one. I didn't even realize they had started on my feet and nails until I cracked open my eyes. I was greeted with warm smiles. "You can go back to sleep if you'd like. You are going to have a long day tomorrow." She whispered. "She is right Pythia, you need to rest while you can. That is the point of today." Lucinda said. I looked around to see that Beth was already asleep and I felt less bad about it. "Trust me, I know what it feels like to carry twins. Get some sleep while you can." Alley giggled. "I was tired with Apollo but these two are draining." I huffed. "I'll make you some tea before you go to bed. It'll help you rest easily." Lucinda said. " That sounds nice, thank you. I don't usually sleep without Tye but Delilah and Apollo are going to sleep in the room with me." I replied.

I sat back and closed my eyes again and let sleep engulf me. The goddess knows I need all the sleep I can get because I am sure that tomorrow will be a very long day......

**Tye POV:** 

When we left the house I felt my heart sink a little bit. I've never been away from Pythia for very long and now I have to stay away from her all night long. Rex did not like being away from them but we both knew that tomorrow morning we will be able to see them. "What's got your mind all cooped up?" Stephen asked as we walked through the woods. "I didn't think it would be this hard to stay away from her." I huffed. "Don't worry time will fly by." Stephen said, nudging me in the shoulder. "What is the plan for tonight anyways?" I asked. "We are going to let our wolves run for a little while and then we have a nice steak dinner being delivered with some whiskey samples." Jasper replied. "Don't forget about the cigars." Jenson added. That didn't sound too bad considering wolves can't really get drunk so at least I won't have a hangover tomorrow. 

I wouldn't want to have a pissed off bride right out of the gate. "Are you nervous yet?" Alcide asked. "Actually, no. More anxious I suppose." I replied easily. As we walked into the house I went and put my bag in the room that I would be staying in. The bed looked too big for just me, my suit was hanging on the back of the closet. I placed my bag beside the bed before walking back down the stairs, I must admit that this house came together perfectly the way they wanted it and I was happy to hear that the outside color had been changed to emerald green. It represents our pack in a good way. The huge open floor was going to be good for when we have smaller celebrations but if I think about it now I know there will never again be a small celebration. "How is Pythia?" I asked Alley through the link. "I've been waiting for you to check on her. She is fine, she took a small nap when they were doing her feet and nails. She is getting her hair done now." Alley replied. "Apollo? How is Apollo?" I asked quickly. "He is having fun with the other children." Alley replied. "Okay good. Is Pythia eating? She needs to eat." I said. 

I could hear Alley laughing at me, "Calm down. She is in good hands now go have fun with the others." Alley replied before cutting the link. Rex growled in frustration. "You can still reach out to Delilah." I said. "Oh I'm going to." Rex said quickly. "Alright who is ready for a run?" Alex said with a smile. "Rex, don't go to the house, stay with the others." I snapped. "Fine. I know I have to stay away."  Rex huffed. When we got outside we all shifted and made a dash straight into the woods. It felt nice to let Rex out to stretch his legs. I haven't let him out since the fight happened because we had been so busy doing everything else but my hope is to let him out at least once or twice a week, maybe more so that he can spend some time with Delilah. We all ran to the back of the pond before we all jumped off the edge and into the water. When we all surfaced we had all shifted back. "Alright let's see who can do the best trick shots off the ledge." Alcide said, climbing out of the water. "Game on!" Jasper quickly said following behind him. 

I started to climb the ledge with Jackson behind me. "Don't get all banged up because I don't feel like getting my ass kicked by Ambrosia." Jackson muttered. "I don't know which one is worse out of the women." I replied. "Ambrosia is definitely more ruthless when it comes to certain things." Stephen said laughing. "That is true, Alley is like the peace maker and Pythia is a taunter." Jenson said. "That is very true, Pythia knows what to say and how to say it to really get under someones skin." I laughed. "I think Lucinda is all of them put together." Alex said. "Oh I do not want to make her mad. She is really nice but bless whoever really makes that woman mad." Jasper said, making us all laugh. It was good that all of us men are able to spend some time together, with everything going on and the new babies that are on the way it has been hard on us to be able to do stuff like this. For now I will enjoy the moment and pray that tomorrow comes quickly.
