Cops, Bombs & Firemen - A Blue Bloods story

1: Meeting at a Wedding

Grace De Marco stepped out of the bathroom of her apartment and made her way over to the dress that she'd decided to wear to her Sorority Sister's wedding. She unwrapped the towel and let it fall at her feet as she began to dress. To say that she was not happy to be attending this wedding was an understatement.

While she was happy for her friend and her soon to be husband, she was not thrilled to be going to this wedding alone. She had planned to go with her friend Luca, but he had been called to work at the last minute. As the liaison between the FDNY and the Manhattan DA's office, she was used to being called to work on a moment's notice, so she understood that he couldn't say no when an extra shift came up.

She put on the simple blue dress and stepped into a pair of heels before checking her face in the mirror. She placed on light make up and clear lip gloss before placing the gloss in her purse. One last look, she headed out the door and locked it. She walked down to her garage and got in her car and headed to the wedding.

She arrived fifteen minutes early, which is new for her. With her busy schedule she was always five to ten minutes late, which everyone understood. Her phone started ringing and she looked down and saw 'Dad.' Smiling, she answered.

"Hi Dad!"

Grace was a daddy's girl. She was the only girl with three older brothers; Andrew Jr, Dylan and Jeff and she was the youngest. They are also very protective of her. When she brought home her first boyfriend at 16, they interrogated him and followed them to the movies. He didn't last very long.

"Hey baby girl. How are you?" His voice flowed through the phone.

"I'm good. I'm at Jan's wedding. Remember her from college?" She asked walking up to the chapel.

"Yes, you were in the sorority with her. She's getting married today?"

"Yeah, they been together for three years. Her fiancé's name is Jesse. The wedding is about to start though so can I call you back?" She asked looking at her watch.

"Of course. I love you Gracie."

"I love you too dad."

She hung up and put her phone back in her purse. She walked into the chapel and smiled when she saw Amy and her date. She sat down next to them. Amy was also in their sorority.

"Hey Grace! This is Jim, my boyfriend. Jim this is Grace, we were in the sorority with Jan."

"Hey Jim." Jim waved back and went back to his phone. He's happy to be here... She thought. "So how long have you been together?"

"Three months." Yeah that's not going to last. "You dating anyone?"

"No, no one has caught my eye." She told Amy and looked over at the groom's side.

That that exact moment she saw a man standing and talking to someone. His blonde hair was styled perfect and his smile glowed as he nodded to what the woman was saying. He looked around and she caught his blue eyes. Grace looked down and blushed.

Grace get it together. He's obviously dating that woman...

The music started and everyone quieted down and stood up. Grace watched as the groomsmen and bridesmaids walked down the aisle. The maid of honor and best man went next followed by the ring bearer and then the flower girl, which was Jan's two year old daughter.

Grace smiled as the Jan walked down next with her dad. She was beautiful in her long sleeve white wedding dress. Grace hoped that one day that would be her walking down the aisle with her dad. She watched as a proud soon to be husband grabbed his woman's hand.
