48 HOURS 'TIL THE WEDDING...

Jacey paced around in the "Freeway Airport" parking lot. She was worried that maybe her sister had forgotten to board the correct plane or maybe have forgotten that her wedding was this weekend.

The worried woman stopped her movement for a moment, she felt like she was being ridiculous. Joy would never forget that her sister is finally getting married.

Jacey glanced at her engagement ring. Every time she looked at the fancy material, her heart would melt. Spencer proposing to her was definitely something she didn't expect to happen. He loved her, she knew that, but she didn't think he loved her enough to want to make her his wife. Deep down, she felt like she didn't deserve a man like Spencer.

'Mrs. Jacey Reid,' the lady thought. "That doesn't have a bad ring to it."

"What doesn't have a bad ring to it?" A familiar voice behind Jacey asked. The woman turned around to see her fraternal twin staring at her with an eyebrow raised. "Should I be worried that you're talking to yourself?"

Jacey smiled before pulling her sister into a hug, "No, there's no need to worry." The ladies parted from each other. "Where's Kai? And Shawn?"

"They are getting our bags. Well, Shawn's getting our bags. Kai wanted to stay with his dad while I ventured off to find you."

Jacey nodded, "Good, for a second I thought you were going to leave them at home. I wanted them here. They're family. Plus, Kai hasn't since his cousin since she was a newborn."

Joy shrugged, "He's seen pictures." The youngest twin commented.

"Right." Jacey sighed.

Joy noticed her sister's slight frown, and the way her back was slouched. "What's going on?" Jacey looked up, confusion clouding her eyes. "You're doing that thing where you look like you're in deep thought. So, what's going on?"

"You heard from mom?"

Joy closed her eyes, sighing. "She got your invitation."

Jacey stood up straighter. "And?"

"And...she said that if Dad was gonna be there, she shouldn't intrude."

"What?!"

"She just doesn't want to 'ruin' anything." Jacey was upset. She shook her head, leaning against her vehicle. "Don't be mad."

Brown eyes snapped up to look at Joy. "'Don't be mad?'" Joy looked away. "My mother doesn't want any part of my wedding. And you're telling me to not be upset."

"She wants to be here but she–"

"What? She can't face him?" Jacey asked. Joy shared a look with her sister before speaking again.

"It could be that. I don't know."

"That's pathetic. Why did I expect her to come anyways? I was never her favorite twin."

Joy eyes snapped at her sister. "Don't say that."

"It doesn't matter anyways. She's not here and somehow, she ruins everything." Jacey the noticed Shawn and Kai waiting at the entrance. She opens the driver's seat to her car. "Get in. I'll pick Shawn and Kai up at the entrance."
