Celebrating With Friends

Ray goes to head up and talk to Chris, Micah, you made it I am so glad you are here.

Thanks Ray, I mean your majesty, it is nice to see you too.

We have missed you, Micah.

Chris walks over shakes his hand, Youre still family. Thank you for coming. No matter what has happened you are my brother, I do love you.

I know you didn't mean to hurt me. I understand the way things are, it is what it is. I don't know why or how but it will be alright. Micah says, Just give me some time. I would not miss your celebration tomorrow. I came home just to see it. I have to go and get unpacked and cleaned up. He then walks up the stairs headed to his room.

I need to talk to my six guards, I know three guards are training today. Can we skip training for one day? That way I can meet with all my guards at once.

You know what I think about training, Ray. It's not good to skip training.

I know that, but this is a special time for us, for me, my guards, and my omegas. I have done something. I'd like to share with them.

How could I say no to you? Chris smiles, Especially those puppy dog eyes you make all the time.

I do not make them all the time.

You have made eyes like that since you were little. I haven't once been able to say no to them. He kisses her cheek, You go spend time with your guards. I'm going to go and check on the perimeters, make sure all the Alphas and their parties are safe for tomorrow.

Ray goes up to her room, having set up a surprise for her friends. Doris, get the guards, all of them, have them meet me in the nursery.

Is everything alright?

Everything is great, just get them for me. Doris heads out the door.

It doesn't take long for everybody to get there. Follow me. Everyone, grab a baby. Out of habit two guards are standing on each side of the group with two in the back, two up front they are protecting her and the pups.

Where are we going? Walter inquires.

That is a surprise I have set up for us. They go down the long corridor, then down a set of steps until they reach the side door, once the door is open you step outside onto a patio.

Princess it is beautiful out here. Lisa loves gardening and the way the garden is set up is breathtaking.

The patio is circled by the most beautiful garden. Trimmed in flowers and two fountains that are set across the back of the garden with beautiful trees that line the entrance. This used to be my hiding spot when I was younger. I climbed that tree when it was only half the size it is now.

This is beautiful Ray, I have never seen such a pretty garden like this. Doris is admiring the garden just like the rest of them.

Come and see what I have done. When the guards and omegas step out, it's decorated with tables that are full of food and cold drinks. Boxes are there with their names on them. The pups have little walkers that they have just gotten set by the tables. Put the pups in their walkers we are going to celebrate today.

What are we celebrating? Lisa asks. I thought the celebration is tomorrow.

Tomorrow you'll be too busy protecting and helping us to enjoy the day. I want a day to celebrate with what I call my family, my protectors and sometimes even my sanity. Come let's eat and drink and enjoy this day together.

Thank you Ray you didnt need to do all this. Walter is so emotional, that I can see how glassy his eyes are.

All the guards and omegas fill their plates, sit down to enjoy our time we each other. We talked much like we did at the old house I called home for a while. This reminds me of when we eat together at the old pack, I have missed our times together.

It is even better Alice there is no clean up. Ray teases as omegas from the castle come out to take away their plates and mess.

I wanted to do something special for each of you, I hope you like what I have done.

Ray calls each guard up by their name and hands them a beautifully wrapped box. Guys you open your boxes I want to see your faces. She is even more excited than the guards.

Walter starts opening his then looks around, What are you waiting for, open them you heard the princess.

Each box had a brand-new uniform in it. The men looked at them, they were different than any of the other guards uniforms at the palace or the Dark Moon Pack. The uniforms are beautiful, they're all gray, not real dark but not light, blue collars and blue cuffs on the jackets, each shirt is the same blue color. The pants are tailored the same gray color as the jackets, with blue stripes down the outside seam. The uniforms came with black leather boots and belt.

Ray this is so special thank you. Is heard from all of them.

You are MY guards, you're not anyone elses. I had these special made for you, so you guys would be different than the rest of them. You didn't look through the box well enough. Keep looking in your boxes.

Look at this. Deon pulls out a small red velvet box.

Waiting for them to open it Ray is rubbing her hands together. Somebody better open their present now. She laughs, looking like she is being tortured waiting for them to open them.

You got us a ring, you have done too much Ray. Walter and the rest of them are touched by her gesture.

Read what they say.

Tim reads it out lowed. With all my love. For my brothers, my protectors.

Princess, this is too much. I don't know why you're doing this. Walter says holding back his tears.

Can't I say thank you. At that each man walks over and gives her a hug and pecks her cheek. Im glad you like them.

You are so special to us we could never express it enough.

Ray is about to cry herself, she clears her throat. Now there is one more thing I have to do. Ray gets up and calls the omegas over to get their boxes. I hope you like your gifts also.

Doris, Lisa, and Alice open them. Theyre expecting a uniform or something like that. The three girls gasp when they see the most beautiful dresses. Each dress is a light blue matching the guards shirts. They are full length with short sleeves and a simple v neckline.

Ray, I have never had a dress this beautiful. Doris eyes are so big in surprise.

Look they come with matching shoes and earrings. Lisa is showing them off.

Ray shakes her head, You didnt look hard enough either.

Ray this I beyond words, you shouldnt have done this. Alice pulls a bracelet out of the box.

Look at the little symbols hanging on the bracelet. They have the girls name on them. Lisa is smiling at the thought that went into this gift.

Wait there are five pink and one blue, are you telling us something. Doris looks up at Ray.

The moon goddess told me, I will have two more pups, a daughter and a son. When they are born, we will put their names on these blankets.

You are the only one that would do something for an omega like this. The glow on the three girls faces says it all, the three of them hug her.

You are not any omega you are family to me just as much as the guards. They spent the rest of the afternoon talking and enjoying each others company. I hate to end this wonderful day, but I have to get ready for tomorrow.

We will take the girls up to the room, thank you again for such a special day.

It was important that you all knew how much you all mean to me and the girls. After saying that I headed up to my room.
