I own nothing. Almost complete. Enjoy!


"Are you sure about this Greg?" Nick asked again.

"Yes," I said laughing, "It will be fun."

"Not so sure about it," he said sighing.

"You don't have to do it Papa," Angel said smiling, "I just don't see the big deal."

"Okay," Nick said holding his hands up, "I'll buy it."

Angel and I laughed as Nick paid for a rainbow colored lanyard. Nick was never really one to be out right about his gayness, but Angel and I were able to get him to buy the lanyard.

I knew in some places it could be dangerous to wear the lanyard, but I also knew Nick could take care of himself and that if he truly didn't want it he knew he could say no to us.

We were heading to a salon that I had found while we were shopping yesterday. It seemed like it would be a nice place to get Angel's hair done. Anyway, it was by this restaurant I wanted to try.

When we got to the salon Angel explained to the hairdresser how she wanted her hair done. The hairdresser grinned at Angel as he heard the idea she had for her hair. He laughed and said that it would be the best thing he has ever done with hair.

Angel got comfortable in one of the chairs and waited as the hairdresser got everything he would need. I sat next to Nick on the couch and rested my head on his. An older lady watched us as we sat there.

"How cute," the lady said smiling.

"Excuse me?" I asked confused.

"Oh I just love when I see such a cute couple like yourself," she said motioning to us.

"Thank you," Nick said nodding.

"Hey Mom," the hairdresser said waving to the lady, "What are you doing here?"

"Just came to see you," the lady said happily.

"Let me finish with her hair and we can go out for lunch," he said wetting Angel's hair.

As the hairdresser did Angel's hair the six of us talked. As it turns out the ladies name was Jennifer, but she liked Jenny and the hairdresser's name was Chris. The two of them had moved from New York a few years back.

"Yeah," Jenny said grinning, "Where are you three from?"

"Las Vegas," I said calmly, "We're here visiting Nick's parents."

"We were talking about moving to Las Vegas," Chris said washing the left over dye out of Angel's hair.

"That's great," Nick said happily.

"Daddy," a little boy said running into the room.

"Spencer," Chris said looking at the little boy, "I thought you were with your mother today."

"She got mad again," Spencer said looking down at his feet, "I just told her that she did her taxes wrong."

"I tell my Daddy that all the time," Angel said laughing.

"Does he get mad?" he asked curiously.

"I don't know," she said seriously, "Daddy do you get mad?"

"Not when you save me two thousand dollars," I said laughing.

"She saved you two thousand dollars?" Nick asked turning to me.

"Yes," I said blushing, "Don't give me that look I just got off a double shift."

"Spencer these people are from Las Vegas," Jenny said patting the seat next to her.

"Really?" Spencer said looking at us, "What's it like there?"

"Totally wicked," Angel said quickly, "The only bad part is that people don't like me."

"Why don't they like you?" he asked cocking his head to the side.

"Because I'm smarter then them," she said sadly.

"People don't like me either," he said walking up to her, "Same reason."

"Really?" she asked sitting up straighter.

"Yeah," he said nodding.

"Cool," she said smiling.

I looked over at Nick and grinned. Spencer and Angel were getting along great. If Chris, Jenny, and Spencer moved to Las Vegas I knew that the two kids would get along wonderfully.

Chris finished up Angel's hair and let her off of the chair. Angel and Spencer continued to talk to each other like they had been friends for years. I loved watching them interact.

"So," Chris said kneeling in front of Spencer, "Would you like it if we moved to Las Vegas?"

"Yeah," Spencer said nodding quickly, "It will be amazing!"

"Then it's decided," he said picking Spencer up, "We're going to Las Vegas."

"Yay," Spencer said hugging Chris.

Angel looked up at Chris and Spencer before running over to Nick and I. Angel threw her arms around us and hugged us tightly. I was so happy to have Angel smiling like she used to.

I knew that Angel had not smiled like she used to before Danny was killed. Seeing her smile like she was I felt my heart swell. I was so glad that I had picked this salon to come into.

"Now we have two days to get ready," Jenny said clapping her hands, "Come on you two. Close this salon and get your butts in gear."

"Yes Ma'am," Chris said mock saluting.

"Here," Nick said handing Chris the money we owed him and a piece of paper, "Call us when you guys get in. We'll be leaving for Vegas in two days also."

"We'll definitely call," Chris said taking the paper, "It was nice meeting you guys."

"You too," I said smiling, "Come on Angel let's go back to your grandparents house and get dinner."

"Okay," Angel said pouting slightly, "Bye Spencer."

"Bye Angel," Spencer said waving, "See you in Las Vegas."

"I like them Daddy," Angel said in my ear.

"I like them too," I said as we got in the car and went back to the house.
