I do not own Twilight or its characters. Stephenie Meyer does.

CH 30 Chicago (BPOV).

I couldn't help but bounce in my seat slightly as the plane made its decent to Chicago. I was excited to see the city again and to see the changes, to see the house where Edward and I fell in love again, or for the first time, depending how you look at.

We had spent the first few days with my mom. Edward's 'siblings' were with us for the vacation. My mother was disappointed they had rain on their visit, which, little did she know, is why they came. She tried talking us both into a college down there, however when she found out I had gotten into Dartmouth and Northwestern, she was still pleased. Our reasoning for cutting the visit short was so we could visit the colleges. That was the only reason Charlie was okay with me going to Chicago, he thought I would share a room with Alice. Little did either of my parents know we had already decided on Dartmouth. We found an area that was far enough away from the small town of Hanover that should be safe for my change. We were using Northwestern as an excuse to my parents to visit Chicago.

Edward chuckled beside me and rubbed my leg underneath the lap blanket, trying to calm me down as I eagerly bounced slightly in the seat besides him. His hand slowly crept up and under the skirt I was wearing and rested it on my thigh, a rather bold move for him. I glanced at him and he had a smirk on his face. My closet had grown more in the skirts and dresses department and, though Edward never verbally said anything, I could tell he was pleased by the change.

As promised, Edward and I have grown more intimate with one another, although, we were usually alone when we did. So when Edward's finger brushed against my panties, I bit my lip to stop from moaning. Jasper cleared his throat from the seat in front of us and Alice started giggling. I turned bright red as Edward retracted his hand and placed it on top of the blanket and held my hand. I scowled at him and he brought my hand up to his lips and kissed it.

"Edward, I never thought I would have to tell you to behave," I hissed under my breath. The others started to snicker.

He leaned over and kissed my neck and then whispered in my ear.

"Are you complaining?" I struggled to keep a stern face, but it was hard to. It was unfair the power he had over me, especially when he tried to dazzle me. Edward smiled smugly before he went back to his book.

"Excuse me, miss, I was wondering if you need anything that I could help with?" A cocky looking steward was leaning in towards me stressing the word 'need'. He had blonde hair and what looked like bleached teeth and a fake tan. Edward growled beside me and he tensed.

"I am fine. If I am in need of anything my husband will take care of me," I answered, barley giving him a glance.

"Husband? I would have thought he was your brother." The guy was not giving up.

"My brother is over there." I pointed at Emmett. The guy half turned to the giant who was glaring at him in disgust. He stumbled backwards hitting Jasper's elbow hard. The man winced and looked down to apologize only to see Jasper also glaring at him.

"And I am her brother-in-law. If she needs anything I am sure between the three of us we will be able to handle it. Now, why don't you get back to your actual job before I report you for improper conduct," Jasper hissed. The man coward away and we didn't see him for the remainder of the flight.

When we arrived we didn't waste anytime collecting our luggage and rental car and head to the hotel. It was late in the evening and tomorrow we would start exploring the city.

I looked at the car and noticed there were some drastic changes since 1918, mainly in building size. Obviously, I was prepared for a more modern looking city, but I couldn't help feel nostalgic for the old city.

We drove up to the Drake Hotel where we were staying. The guys went up to the desk to check in as I stayed with Rose and Alice in the lobby. I could already tell by the lobby that it was an elegant place.

Alice started giggling and she shot a glance at the boys.

"What?" Rose asked look at the pixie. I saw Edward out of the corner of my eye look at her and shook his head. She sighed then rolled her eyes.

"Let me guess, he got the best suite here didn't he," I asked knowing that he had to be up to something. Alice nodded and I groaned internally. He was always going to go overboard.

The guys headed back to us. Edward's smile seemed a bit hesitant as he eyed me carefully. I think he was waiting for me to throw a fit. A year ago I would have, but all it would do is put us both in bad moods. I wanted to enjoy this weekend so if Edward was going to spoil me I would let him. We can always talk later about not always going overboard.

I smiled as he approached and his face broke out into a bigger smile.

"The bellhop is going to show us to our rooms," Edward informed us as a young male, probably in his twenties, wheeled a cart over to us. The guys helped him load up the cart, then he led the way over to the elevators. Not surprisingly we went all the way up to the top floor.

All the way up in the elevator it was hard to miss that our bellhop was checking out Jasper. Edward had his head buried into my hair and he looked disgusted. Jasper appeared uncomfortable as he kept shifting uncomfortably and tried to put Alice in between them. Rose and Emmett looked highly amused.

We stepped out on the top floor, followed the bellhop to the first suite door where he opened the door and handed Jasper the key.

"May I help you with your bags, sir?" He looked at Jasper suggestively.

"I can get them, thank you." Jasper said curtly. As he pulled the bags off the cart; the bellhop watched Jasper's butt as he bent over. I couldn't help but to giggle. I turned my head and buried it in Edward's chest. I wasn't the only one who found it funny. Emmett let out a booming laugh and the bellhop's head shoot up as he turned bright red. As soon as Jasper had the bags off the cart the bellhop led us down a bit where he stopped and opened the door and handed Emmett the key. Before he could ask, Emmett pulled their things off the cart and followed Rose into the room, without so much as a word to the bellhop.

Our room was the last stop. I noticed a small plaque that said Princess Diana Suite.

I bit my tongue to prevent myself from say anything that I would later regret. The bellhop opened the door and led us in. He quickly unloaded the cart and handed Edward the key. I saw Edward hand him a tip for everyone. I turned to explore the room.

I have never been in such an elegant room. It was beautiful with classy décor, it was also too fancy. I was worried that I shouldn't touch anything. I took off my jacket and walked over to look out the windows. I could see the hustle and bustle of the city. I felt Edward's arms snake around me as he pressed his chest against me. I felt his lips trail along my neck and my pulse started to race.

"The room is beautiful." I turned to wrap my arms around his neck.

"You like it?" Edward sounded excited as he pulled back to study my face.

"Everything is just so elegant. Please, promise me you will not let me damage anything," I answered glancing over at the antique looking high-end furniture.

"Of all things to be worried about." Edward sighed. He looked into my eyes. "I wanted the best for you. I never gave you a proper honeymoon or even a proper wedding night. I wanted to make up for that." Edward's eyes grew a bit sad.

"I never said I didn't like it. I'm just a bit nervous with my history of gracefulness. This is very sweet of you. And you have nothing to make up for. I happened to enjoy our wedding night and I ready when you are for a repeat performance." I raised myself up onto my tip toes as I kissed him hard on the lips. He started to kiss me back and his tongued traced my lower lip pleading for entrance. I opened and his tongue danced with mine. I felt myself being picked up and my legs wrapped around his waist. I was only vaguely aware of him moving into a new room.

I felt him dip us down and I was being pressed into a soft mattress. His body stayed firmly against mine without any of his weight. He pulled back from my lips and started kissing my neck and sucked lightly on the pulse point.

"Edward," my breath hitched and I moaned. My fingers dug into his hair and I pulled him close. I heard a moan come from him as he pulled back away and on to his knees. I watched him from my pillow trying to catch my breath. His eyes remained on mine and they were dark and hooded and filled with lust and adoration.

I had to break the stare as I glanced around the bedroom. There was a high posted bed and the décor was much like the front room. I couldn't concentrate because I could feel Edward's eyes watching me.

"It's beautiful here." I whispered, then looked at him. He shrugged and finally spoke.

"I find hard it to find anything beautiful compared to you," Edward answered. I blushed as I sat up.

"If it's not too much to ask, can we stay in tonight and relax?" I asked hoping to take it easy and maybe get a little more time alone.

"That's fine. Would you like to order room service since you didn't eat on the plane," Edward asked and I nodded.

After ordering I decided to take a shower while waiting. I wanted to get the grime of traveling of me. I grabbed a change of clothes and went into the bathroom.

"Wow," I breathed out looking at the vast bathroom. It was bigger than my room at Charlie's, in fact maybe even be bigger than Edward's room.

"What is it?" Edward appeared from behind me. I pointed to the huge bathtub.

"You're going to have to come in with me so I don't drown." Edward rolled his eyes, but smirked.

"I do, do I?" He looked at me mischievously as he took a couple of steps towards me.

"Yes, I need to return that favor from Valentine's Day." I rubbed his chest and leaned into him. I watched as his eyes grew dark again.

"I will be right back. Don't start without me." Edward kissed me then left the bathroom with vampire speed. I shrugged and started the water, making the water hotter than normal. I started to undress and was about to wrap a towel around me when I felt Edward come up behind. He planted a kiss on my shoulder and then picked me up bridal style and stepped into the tub. He settled us into the water with me in between his legs.

I immediately tried to go behind him.

"What are you doing?" Edward tried to stop me, but I managed to get behind him and raised up on my knees.

"It is my turned to wash your hair first," I answered. While I reached for the bottle of shampoo, Edward fiddled with some buttons. There was a sudden swishing sound and the water started to move. Startled, I grabbed on to his shoulders.

"What did you do?" I accused as I watched the water start whirling.

"It is a whirlpool tub, Bella... do you want me to stop it?" Edward glanced back at me.

"No, just a lot different than the claw-foot tub," I teased as started massage his head. Edward closed his eyes and he started to purr.

"We wouldn't be able to do this in that tub my parent's had." Edward's voice sounded rough.

"Sure, we could've, it just would've been tighter quarters." I leaned forward, wrapping my arms around his neck and giving him a kiss on the cheek. His eyes opened as he eyed me with contemplation. I giggled as I went back to washing his hair.

"Seductress," Edward mumbled, I took a cup full of water and dumped it over his head. Edward grumbled and then shook his head aggressively spraying me with water. I squealed which made him let out a deep throat laugh.

I suds up my hands and started to rub Edward's back. He sighed in content and closed his eyes again. I slowly shifted again until I was kneeling in front of him. I suds up my hands again and started rubbing his chest vigorously. A deep rumble sounded in his chest vibrating under my fingers.

"Bella," he moaned and I felt myself started to tinkle with anticipation. I looked down as something brushed my thigh. Edward was clearly enjoying the attention. I looked up to meet Edward's midnight eyes filled with desire and lust. I suddenly found myself with my back to Edward. Before I could protest he started washing my hair with care. He then piled it on top of my head. He peppered the back of my neck with kisses sucking lightly. I moaned and leaned back into him. I took my arm and wrapped it behinds his neck arching my back into him and tilted my head to the side. Edward continued to kiss my neck as his hands came to the front and kneed my breasts. I gasped and moaned again.

"Ahhh, Edward." I whimpered.

"Edward, what?" he growled.

"Please….more," I panted. He turned me again and I was straddling him in the water. He immediately plunged his tongue into my mouth. I sucked on his tongue eagerly and caressed our tongues together. His hips bucked into mine and a rhythm of our hips sent the water splashing out of the tub. He never entered me, but that did not keep the sensation from building. I felt a tightening before my release and I saw stars as I gripped onto Edward's shoulders. Edward growled as he shook fists clenched at his sides, then stilled. We were both gasping for air and Edward lifted me out of the tub. My knees felt weak as I held onto him. He lovingly dried my body and then dressed me.

"That was amazing." I blushed.

"Yes, it was. I am sure you are hungry, get yourself into bed and I will go get your food." Edward kissed my cheek as he pulled on his lounge pants.

"Oh, no. Don't tell me they came in while were...ah…busy." I blushed.

"No worries, my love. I recalled them and asked them to leave it outside the door." Edward chuckled. He swept into his arms and carried me to the bed.

"Edward, if you ever want to buy a whirlpool tub, I would never complain. In fact, I would have to thank you repeatedly." I bit his ear lobe softly.

"Bella, we have gone far enough tonight." Edward whispered softly his voice sounded like it was struggling. He laid me down on the bed. "But rest assured, you will be getting your tub." Edward kissed my hand before leaving the room. I couldn't help but giggle as I leaned back into the pillows and sighed in contentment.

The new day was overcast, but the weatherman promised it wasn't supposed to rain. I had woken up excited to explore the city and got dressed in jeans and a soft blue sweater that clung to my curves.

I ate my breakfast then was ready to go. Edward was all smiles as he led us from the room. We met the others in the hall. They were interested in seeing Edward's childhood home too. Alice looked down and scowled at my sneakers.

"We are doing a lot of walking today, Alice. I want to be comfortable," I told her before she could say anything. There was no way I was wearing heels today. My feet would be hurting by the end of the day. Heck, even the shoes from 1918 were even more comfortable than heels.

"Fine, at least your clothes are better than they use to most of the time." She huffed before dragging Jasper towards the elevators. Edward rolled his eyes and offered me his arm. It became more of a custom to do that than to hold hands in public.

Once out on the street we followed Edward. His parent's house, or technically our house, was not that far away. It was just under a mile. Just beyond that was the park we used to go to. Edward promised me the park was still there and had not been built on.

We came to his parent's house and the façade had not changed much over the years, probably due to the fact that it was brick instead of wood. The house was vacant for the time being, so Edward led us right up and in. I glanced around to see what had changed and it was the same. The house was mostly bare, gone was the décor and ambiance that made this place the home that I stayed in for four months. The floor plan hadn't changed as I walked down the hall and made the mistake of walking into the sitting room. It was most likely the living room to people today. The room was painted a bold contemporary red that clashed with the architecture of the room.

"Ugh. I think this house may be in need for Esme to restore it." Alice frowned.

Edward scowled as he looked around.

"I may need to have a new stipulation that renters can't paint without permission from now on." Edward led me out of the room into the dinning room. In there it had been painted contemporary too. I was starting to feel let down, I wasn't so sure if I wanted to explore the rest of the house.

The kitchen was next and I had expected that the appliances to be new. Expecting a stove or ice box to be here after eighty plus years would have been ridiculous.

I led the way up to the second floor by the servant stairs.

"I will warn you now all these room have been changed to bedrooms. I had the third floor blocked off from renters." That, at least, gave me hope my bedroom hadn't been changed. After going into the first room, that had been library, I did not want to look anymore. The beautiful shelves with all the books were gone. In its place were vibrant yellow walls. Who rented this place?

"I want to see upstairs." I pulled on Edward's arms towards the stairs. He nodded and went with me. At the top of the third floor there was a door and a padlock that hadn't been there before. With an easy flick of his wrist Edward broke the lock and opened the door for me to go first.

I headed straight for my old room. I took a deep breath before entering the room. The room was the same. I sighed in relief. My bed, the vanity and the bedside table were all there. Even the pitcher and bowl. Someone had thrown heavy dust cloths over them. Alice went around and removed them. I coughed with the dust she kicked up. She gave me an apologetic look.

I walked over to the vanity and sat down, touching the smooth surfaces under my finger tips. I pulled open the drawer and found my brush and comb that I had used daily as well as some combs. There were still even strands of my hair in the bristles, which made it seem even more real.

"Do you want the vanity?" Edward asked coming up behind me. I looked up at him in the mirror.

"I do, but I don't want you to go to any trouble," I answered. Besides, I was trying to see how it would work in Edward's room. It wouldn't exactly go.

"It won't be any trouble if you want it. We can easily get it shipped. Though I think you should send it to the house in New Hampshire," Alice answered. She was looking at the pitcher and bowl.

"Alright," I agreed putting the brush back into the drawer. I stood and walked over to the closet and opened the door. I was half expecting my dresses to be there. But they weren't.

We eventually ended out in the yard. I was excited to see the gazebo was still there and it seemed to be in decent condition. I hurried over and tripped over nothing. Edward grabbed me before I hit the ground. The others started laughing.

"Careful, Bella, you don't need another sprained ankle." Emmett snickered.

I scowled at him. "Very funny." Then I glared at Edward. "You told them about that?" I was a little annoyed and here I was being nice about when he had been drunk.

"Its not like you falling is anything new." Edward smirked as he let go of me after righting me.

"Haa haa, maybe so. But it would be new news for me to say something like… you being drunk and falling three stories into the bushes." I crossed my arms in front of my chest.

"Edward, did what?" Rose and the others stopped laughing and looked at me with eager faces.

"Bella…" Edward pleaded.

"What, you do not think they should know what an amusing and handsy drunk you were?" I raised my eyebrow taking a step back from him towards Alice.

"I was not handsy. I was a complete gentleman." Edward gave me a stern look.

"Please, since when does a gentleman pinch his date's butt in the middle of the dance floor?" I giggled.

"They don't, but it is still funny." Alice giggled.

"Edward, shame on you. I should tell Esme." Rose giggled.

"How did he get in the position to fall into the bushes?" Jasper asked looking up, eyeing my old room.

"After we got home, instead of going to bed like he was suppose to, he came out here and started to pretend that he was Romeo, even quoting from the balcony scene." I shook my head lightly. "He then proceeded to climb the trellis with roses in hand."

"Aww!" Rose and Alice giggled in sync. "He then refused to get down without a kiss. I did, because I was afraid he was going to fall, he then let's go of the trellis and fell, landing in the bush." The others burst out laughing. I succumbed to my own laughter. I went up to the gazebo and stood on the step looking in, remembering all the afternoons and early evenings Edward and I had in there. We had also been married here. I turned to look at him to make he wasn't too upset. Edward stood there and took it all in good humor.

"Are you done," he asked. I nodded.

"Real smooth, Edward." Emmett clapped him on the back.

"What can I say, but I fell hard for her." Edward walked over and took my hand to kiss it.

"Okay, that is getting too mushy for me. What are we doing next?" Emmett looked antsy.

"Shopping," Alice squealed. I frowned a bit. Edward looked at me before speaking.

"You four go ahead. Miss Swan, will you go for a walk with me to the park?" Edward asked, not taking his eyes of me.

"Yes, Mr. Masen, I will." I giggled at his formality. I looked up and the others were gone. Edward offered me his arm and I took it as we headed out. We walked the familiar, but different path, to the park. There were more cars than there were back then too. We crossed the street and Edward stopped at the corner before the park entrance.

"Do you know where we are?" Edward asked.

"The spot where we first met in 1918 and where you proposed," I answered proudly as he took both of my hands in his. Edward nodded and looked nervous. He took a deep breath and knelt down one knee.

"Edward, what are you doing?" I asked. Edward gave my hands a brief kiss before speaking.

"Isabella, you know how much I love you. My life without you is meaningless and empty. You're the sunshine in my life and my soul's reason for existing. I want another chance at marrying you properly, in front of all of our family and friends. Isabella Marie Swan, will you please, marry me again." I looked into his eyes and I wondered if I was strong enough to stand up to my parents for this. Maybe if we took this step Charlie would maybe be mad, but he would back off being team Jacob. It was also a help that Renée did seem to like Edward, maybe she wouldn't take it so hard.

"Bella?" Edward called pulling me back to reality.

"Sorry," I shook my head to clear it and Edward's smile dropped and he appeared crushed. I realize the implications of my words too late.

"No, no, not sorry 'I don't want to marry you again'. I want to marry you again. I was apologizing for my delay," I rushed out. "Yes, Edward, I will marry you again. As long as you protect me from your sister and Charlie." Edward swiftly jumped to his feet and spun me in a circle.

"Thank you, love." Edward pulled me close and started kiss me hard and passionately on the street corner. I got lost in our own world as I pulled his head closer to me. The blaring of car horns made me pull back from Edward.

"Opps," I giggled and turned red when I realized we just gave people a free show.

Edward looked slightly flustered as he started to lead me towards the park.

We were silent until we reached the spot where our bench was. The bench looked brand new so it wasn't the same bench.

We sat down and Edward wrapped one arm around me, keeping me close.

"I get Charlie may not be happy. But Rose would be fine with us getting married again. She's not against it as she once was." Edward pushed a strand of my hair behind my ear.

"That is good to know, but I wasn't talking about Rose. I was talking about Alice." I leaned my head on his shoulder as I snuggled into his side.

"Alice?" Edward appeared amused.

"Please, I am surprised we couldn't hear her squeal in delight from here. She must be dying to plan a real wedding." I met his eyes as he look down at me. His eyes were twinkling with joy.

"Actually, right now, she is trying to decide between Prada or Jimmy Choo shoes." Edward chuckled. I didn't realize he could hear her from here.

"You mean she's not going to get both?" I laughed. Edward shrugged, his eyes still twinkled, but his face became more serious.

"It's our wedding. Whatever, you want you get. No matter what Alice says," Edward promised.

"Surgical masks it is then," I teased. Edward let out a hearty laugh before kissing me lightly.

"I want to show your something before we go get you something to eat." Edward pointed to the dedication plaque on the bench I looked down.

Mr. & Mrs. Edward Masen Jr.

September 16, 1918

My fingers traced the engraving. The date was our wedding date. It was a very romantic gesture.

"When was this done?" I asked feeling a bit misty eyed.

"Recently. I wanted to surprise you," Edward's voice sounded a bit chocked with emotion.

"I love it," not caring if there were on lookers as I crawled on to his lap and kissed him passionately.

A/n: Some intimacy in this chapter. The truth comes out about Edward's little drunken stunt. Another wedding proposal.. I hope you enjoyed it.

"All set. As I figured my mother was thrilled." Angela rolled her eyes and giggled as she buckled up. My phone went off again and put the truck into drive and started for La Push.

"I think that is your phone. I know it is not mine." Angela spoke up.
"I know it is probably Edward and I don't want to continue to argue. I will call him tonight." I sighed.
