It has been two weeks since Sydney stood up for Lacey at school. Sydney is at home playing while Lacey thinks about how bizarre it is to finally have a home. Then the doorbell rings and Joel walks to the door to answer it.

Joel opens the door and asks, "Hello, how may I help you?"

"I'm Logan, Lacey's older brother" the teen boy responds "She probably won't remember me, since she was two when we were separated, but I just needed to see her."

"Ok, I'll call Lacey for you." Joel says "I'm Joel by the way."

"Alright thanks Joel" Logan said gratefully

"Lacey, someone's at the door to see you." Joel called then walked away from the door.

"Coming daddy" Lacey replied skipping towards the door, but once she reached the door Lacey asked confused, "Who are you?"

Logan smiled and explained, "It's me Lace. It's Logan, your brother."

Lacey's memories of her brother flashed in her mind like a slideshow, but she paid the most attention to the bad memories and began enraged and yelled, "You...I hate you. I used to love you. I used to look up to you, and you let that lady take me from you. I was reaching and crying for you. All I wanted was YOU. Did you know she lost her job and returned me six months later." Lacey took a deep breath and started yelling again, "I went mute for FIVE YEARS. My last FIVE birthdays I spent in the hospital because of four abusive foster homes, and malnutrition and dehydration from running away. I couldn't provide for myself at nine years old, so I spent my tenth birthday in the hospital." Lacey takes another breath and yells again, "I used to cry myself to sleep at night for a loving family. Now I have one and you are going to leave here and never come back. I hate you Logan."

"Lace, please forgive me. I was..." Logan started to say

"Ferme la bouche" Lacey said over Logan's voice rapidly hoping her parents didn't know what it meant.

"Lacey, please just hear me out." Logan pleaded

"No, you don't get to speak. Leave. Now!" Lacey commanded firmly.

"Alright baby sister, just know I am so sorry. Ever since I let that lady take you from me I thought about you every day. I missed you. Every day I wondered and hoped you were happy." Logan said as he walked away from the house, then Lacey closed the door. Tears streamed down Lacey's face because she was feeling bad that she yelled at her brother. She should have known that he would have missed her, and it's not like he told the lady to take his sister. He loved...loves his baby sister.

Julia looked over at Lacey and asked, "Are you okay, sweetie?" Then Lacey ran upstairs to her room, since she didn't want her family to see her cry. She wanted to be tough. Julia follows lacey upstairs knowing her daughter needs her.

"Sweetheart, are you okay?" Julia asked rubbing Lacey's back in an effort to calm Lacey down. Then Julia asked, "You know you can tell me anything, right?"

To which Lacey nodded and explained with tears streaming down her face," That was my brother, Logan, but I used to call him, Logy. I feel bad because I didn't let him talk and when he left, he apologized. I blamed him for us being separated, when it's not his fault. He couldn't do anything." By the time Lacey was done the tears were coming down faster than when she started.

"Shh sweetie it's okay. Sweetie you made a mistake, which everyone does. We are only human." Julia explained trying to calm her daughter.

"Momma, I told him to shut his mouth IN FRENCH." Lacey stated and then explained, "I want to find him so I can apologize. I want to know what he wanted to tell me, mommy."

"Ok we'll find him, sweetie. I promise, we will find your brother, Logan." Julia promised her daughter.

"Thanks momma" Lacey said sniffling

Julia responded, "It's no problem, baby girl."

Then Lacey and her mom walked downstairs and joined Sydney and Joel who were about to watch Frozen. Lacey knew in the back of her mind that as soon as her parents and sister went to sleep she would venture out in search of her brother.

That night Lacey dressed in some warm clothes and snuck out the front door. She then walked to the bus station a few blocks from her house and took the bus to social services. At social services, Lacey walked in explained why she was there to Mr. Cowan.

Mr. Cowan asked, "Lacey weren't you recently adopted?"

"Yes, Mr. Cowan I was. I'm not here for me though. I'm here to find out about my older brother Logan. I was brought here with him when I was two. I want to find him." Lacey explained

"He found his... your birth family." Mr. Cowan stated

"Where is he?" Lacey asked

"He is living at 1329 Prescott St." Mr. Cowan replied

"Thanks Mr. Cowan" Lacey said gratefully

"You're very welcome, Lacey" Mr. Cowan responded.

Lacey then took a bus to the stop closest to Prescott street. At the house, she walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. It was now almost 10 pm, but the door was answer by not Logan but someone else that Lacey knew whom she didn't remember.

"Hello how may I help you?" the person who answered the door asked

"Hi I don't remember you, but you look kind of familiar. I'm looking for my brother, Logan." Lacey explained

"Lacey? Are you little Lacey?" the person asked

"Maybe, who are you?" Lacey stated

"I'm your mom's sister. I'm your Aunt P..." the person replied hugging Lacey
