“What was the hesitation? I have money…”
“It’s not about the money. I just always figured I would raise kids in the packhouse.”
“I mean, we still can.” My heart sank a little.
“I just want you happy and if it will make you happy to live in a different house than the pack house,
then we will.” Alec said.
That wasn’t good enough response and it sounded like he was just giving in. “We can discuss thister
tonight or tomorrow.” I said. He didn’t argue but we fell into a silence. Not exactly ufortable but
we were both in our own heads. Part of me worried I killed the high we were on. The joy of finding out
you were pregnant but then I killed it by asking for a house.
Pulling up to the tattoo shop, there was more people there than I
expected. Camera men were standing they their vans, making sure the equipment was ready to go. A
red carpet and a podium was out
front with a massive red ribbon and bow.
“Good! You are here!” Emmy walked over to us as I got off my bike.
“This is more than what I imagined.” I said to her.
“I know, I went all out.” Emmy had a huge smile on her face. “I had so
much help too.”
“From who?” I asked.
“From me!” Penny and Colt came around the corner. Sherry and
Jacob also followed them.
“Thank you all foring!” I gave each of them a hug. It felt so good

“And miss this? Nope, we wouldn’t miss this for anything!” Jacob teased as he pushed my shoulder.
Not enough to move me but to make a joke.
“I can’t believe this is finally happening. After all we been through, we are finally getting back to a
normal.” I just looked over at my shop in awe. The outside looked amazing. New decal was on the
bullet proof ss. It was of a tattoo gun that was finishing writing the letter K.
“Are you guys ready?” Someone called out.
“We are!” Emmy grabbed my hand and pulled me along.
“Okay, what is going to happen, there will be a brief overview of the shop and Melonie will announce
the ribbon cutting. That will be your cue to cut the ribbon. After that, everyone will go inside. We will do
a quick tour and then we are done. Any questions?” Someone with an ear piece was talking like I
should know who he is.
“Nope.” I said. I was pushed in the middle with only Melonie beside me. “Can I have my family stand
with me?” I asked.
“Of course. Have them stand just slightly behind.” Melonie waved everyone over. Alec stood right next
to me with Emmy. Penny and Sherry stood in front of Colt and Jacob. This felt right. Alec’s hand went
around my waist as the man raised three fingers, then two, then
one…
“This evening, we are gathered at the re-opening of Tattoo’s by Kris. Earlier this year, this location was
the result of a random burry. Afterpletely remodeling, Kristen of Tattoo’s by Kris is ready to
open her doors again.” Melonie turned to me. “Kristen, tell me what this means to you?”
Well, s hit. I was caught off guard. “This means the world to me. Tattooing is something I loved doing.
It’s more than a job to me. I
today. No one will be able to keep me from living out my dream.”
“What changes have you made since upgrading this space?”
“Well, for starters, the security is much more advanced. Other than that, everything got a face lift and I
added extra chairs in case I want to expand and hire more people.”
“With this ribbon cutting, it sounds like we will be expecting great
things from Kristen in the years toe.” Melonie took a step back and nodded to me. Grabbing the
massive scissors, I cut the ribbon. and everyone pped.
