So Far in the story it's late April Of 2013

"We're family lacey and family is forever don't you ever forget that you and your sister will always be my best and greatest accomplishments from now until the day I die I will always do what is best for you even if you don't know what is"

Lacey awoke from the crazy dream she was having and grabbed her head. She had been having these weird dreams ever since she decide to go back home to DC a few weeks ago. Maybe it was nerves or something but this just added to the stress already present, rowan pope was as daunting in dreams as he was in reality. The sound of Icona Pop's I Don't Care pulled lacey out of her thoughts. She climbed over to the other

"OK so you promise me you will be here tomorrow"

Lacey shook her head and tried to hold in the laugh that wanted to erupt from her because of the anxious tone from her best friend. "Hello to you too Giuliana I'm good thanks for asking and it sounds like you are doing well also"

"I'm not going to apologize for being rude but I'm not because when your best friend is getting married in Seven months and you are the maid of honor and the wedding planner but have yet to meet the groom or even for that matter haven't seen the bride to be in almost two months no it's not a problem to make you promise a little extra" Giuliana answered her friend with a mix of worry and sarcasm in her voice

Lacey shook her head and got up from the bed double checking around the hotel room to make sure she hadn't forgot to pack anything. "listen to me Ana rose you are my best friend in the world more like my family actually and I will not let you down on this I promise I know how important a wedding is its every girls dream day and I plan on making yours perfect"

Lacey heard Giuliana take a few deep breathes over the phone and remained quiet while her friend composed herself finally after about three minutes a much calmer Giuliana finally spoke "Lacey Beth I'm sorry I didn't mean to sound like a bridezilla and its not even you its Spencer driving me insane with his and my dad's job and they have had so many cases lately I keep thinking of all the negative like what if they get a case right before the wedding and I have to postpone or what if they get hurt its just so much to think about on top of the actual wedding itself it's like…"

"Whoa whoa whoa stop" lacey cut off the rest of her friend hysterics "now pause right there ok I know I haven't meet Spencer yet but I think I know him well enough through you to say that nothing will keep him away from marring you so don't even go there and second didn't you tell me your dad is like this all mighty god in the FBI world or something so I'm sure he will stop at nothing to make sure that his baby girls day is nothing but perfect"

Giuliana started to laugh "Don't let my dad know that he is a almighty god it will get to his head but yes he does have a lot of connections in the FBI and as far as spencer goes I know without a doubt he is the man I'm going to spend the rest of my life with just sometimes he forgets to stop talking with that over filled brain of his and more with his heart but none the less I love him like crazy"

Lacey smiled hearing Giuliana talk about spencer always bought a smile to her face her friend deserved to be happy and spencer sounded like the perfect guy to make sure she was "See this is just pre pre-wedding jitters and as we start planning and the date gets closer they will only get worst but trust me the end result will be worth it"

"I'm sure you're right but it would make things easier if you were actually here so back to my earlier question you promise me you will be here tomorrow no more last minute emergencies"

The dream that woke lacey up earlier crept back into her mind making her stop in her tracks We're family lacey and family is forever don't you ever forget that lacey shook her mind of the thought and smiled at the phone even though Giuliana couldn't see it "yes I will be there tomorrow my office should have everything straight now and even if they don't abby being the amazing assistant she is offered to stay behind for a few days to make sure everything is all good and I am even staying in a hotel for the night that's close to the airport to avoid traffic in the morning so yes I can promise that I will be there tomorrow around one to be exact my plane leaves at around nine am so if all goes smoothly I should land in DC at one and be at my house by one forty-five to two o'clock" lacey laughed a little knowing Giuliana loved details so giving her the full timetable would put her friend a little more at ease

"Perfect do you need me to pick you up from the airport or anything?" Giuliana replied excitedly

"No I'm good thanks I will have a chauffeur and a car waiting for me when I land but hey we should get dinner tomorrow night once I get settled in"

"That would be great with the team being gone most of the week I have been a bit bored it's like work and back home and nothing else"

Lacey laughed "So that is what is up with the crazy phone call you are so lucky I love you but its eight thirty-six here meaning it is eleven thirty-six there so I think we should both be getting some sleep"

"Yes mother if you say so" was Giuliana's sarcastic reply

"Goodnight jewels"

"Night Lacey Beth love you"

As Lacey pressed the end button on her phone she walked over and sat on her hotel bed then laid her head back. With her bags by the door and coat and purse on the table near them she was ready to catch her flight in the morning only physically though. Mentally though the demons that kept her away from DC for so long hunted her mind even more so with the dream from earlier. She had fought to stay away for so long but now with her best friend who she considered a sister in need of her assistance she put her personal feelings aside and decide to worry about someone else's feelings before her own and got ready to sleep because she knew the next day would take all the energy she could muster up. Because there was no way this trip was going to go good because nothing in the life of lacey Elizabeth Devero pope ever did.
