The next day, they woke up early to prepare for the grand opening of the wrestling club. They had a long list of things to do, from setting up the ring and decorating the room to ordering healthy food for the kids and making sure everything was ready for the big event. As they worked together, they couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. There wasn't many kids joining on the first day, only 20, but it was good for the first time. The girls had made a sign welcoming them, and they had put up posters of famous wrestlers to inspire the kids.

As the time for the opening ceremony approached, Demi and Lily sat down to relax for a moment. They took a deep breath, feeling their hearts race with anticipation. They looked at each other, their eyes shining with happiness and love. They reached for each other's hands, giving them a reassuring squeeze. "We can do this," Demi whispered, her voice full of determination.

Lily squeezed Demi's hand, her free hand pushing the stroller back and forth. "We can do this. We've got this. Our little family is strong, we'll make it work no matter what." They both stood up, straightening their shirts and taking a deep breath. They walked together toward the entrance of the gym, their steps in perfect unison. One of the workers agreeing to stay with Leo while the girls opened up.

The Club was filled with people, families and friends alike. There was an excited buzz in the air as they all waited for the opening ceremony to begin. Demi and Lily walked side by side, feeling a sense of belonging and purpose that they had never experienced before. They took their places at the front of the room, next to each other.

The ceremony began with a warm welcome from Demi and Lily, who spoke about their journey and their vision for the wrestling club. They shared stories of their own experiences and the importance of discipline, teamwork, and perseverance. The crowd laughed and cheered, clearly invested in their words. The kids got excited to see Demi, she had obviously been a big inspiration for them.

As the opening ceremony came to an end, the parents began to sign their children up for the first class. They were eager to see their kids learn and grow under the guidance of Demi and Lily. The two women looked at each other, a mix of pride and nervousness on their faces. This was it. They had made it happen. They were finally living their dreams.

The first class began, and Demi and Lily took turns teaching the children basic wrestling moves and techniques. They were patient and encouraging, always making sure that each child felt included and supported. They could see the excitement in the children's eyes as they learned something new, and the pride that filled their hearts every time one of them succeeded. One of the workers came over, her name was Georgia, a well built woman with muscles and tattoos everywhere. She had been following the story of Lily and Demi and she had decided to help them out, to give them a hand with the kids. Georgia had always been interested in wrestling and she was more than happy to share her knowledge with the kids, she had even made some of her own moves, unique for them.

As the first class came to an end, the parents thanked Demi and Lily profusely, telling them how much their children had enjoyed it and how much they had learned. Demi and Lily exchanged satisfied glances, their hearts full of joy. They knew that they had made the right decision to open the wrestling club. They had created something special, something that would help children grow and thrive, both physically and mentally. They had given the children a place to belong, a place where they could be themselves and reach for their dreams.

The next day was the older kids, aging from 14 - 17.

They had been waiting for this moment, eager to learn and grow under the guidance of Demi and Lily. The energy in the room was palpable as they gathered for their first class. Demi and Lily were thrilled to see so many enthusiastic faces, and they knew that this was going to be a challenge for them, but also a great opportunity to share their passion and knowledge.
