*****Okay, I know I haven't posted in about a month. This chapter is short but I'm trying to get back in the groove. You might be disappointed with this chapter but it was kind of difficult for me to write. I got a terrible case of writers block. This chapter will more than likely be pulled and lengthened later. But I do have some great ideas in the works that I know you guys will love.*******

Chapter 15 "Hello Chicago!"

"Good morning ladies and gentlemen, welcome on board flight 86A with service from Atlanta, Georgia to Chicago, Illinois. We are currently third in line for take-off and are expected to be in the air in approximately seven minutes. We ask that you please fasten your seat belts at this time and secure all baggage underneath your seat or in the overhead compartments. We also ask that your seats and table trays are in the upright position for take-off. Please turn off all personal electronic devices or switch them over to airplane mode. Smoking is prohibited for the duration of the flight. Thank for choosing Delta Airlines. Enjoy your flight."

"Awe man… I was hoping we would have one of those comedian flight attendants, or one who would rap the intro or something." I whispered to Rose while another boring plain flight attendant turned everyone's attention to the monitors and went over safety 'in case we crash' exit strategies.

I was a smidge nervous about the flight. But I had come prepared. I had gum to chew to help my ears from popping due to the altitude change. I had an adult coloring book and colored pencils to keep me entertained as well as my old school Gameboy advance which housed my favorite Mario game.

I could do this.

*Deep breaths.*

I felt the plane slowly start to move backwards from the airport. I snapped my eyes shut and focusing on my breathing.

Inhale.

I could hear the engine revving up.

Exhale.

The sudden jolt and force of the plane going down the runway had pushed my body into my comfortable plush first class seat.

Inhale.

Once the plane was in the air I felt like I could breathe. Taking off and landing were difficult for me.

And turbulence!

Let's not forget turbulence and I'm praying we won't have any either.

Shaking my head slightly I bent over to reach my carry on bag. It had my gum, Gameboy, and coloring pages inside it.

"You brought a Gameboy? Dibs!" Rosalie said as she snatched the Gameboy from my royal purple colored coach designer handbag.

"You can not call dibs on something that isn't yours." I said taking back my Gameboy from her well manicured hands.

"I'm sorry not everyone thought to bring games and…. COLORING BOOKS! Please, look how many pages you have… don't be so greedy Bells." Rosalie whined and gave me her most convincing puppy dog eyes.

"Fine… I guess you can color with me." I huffed, pretending that I was annoyed while handing her the coloring book and colored pencils.

I was so ready to be with Edward again after being separated for weeks. It was currently May 23rd and our weddings were planned to take place in the month of August.

Esme thought that Maggie's idea of a wedding month was wonderful. Our weddings were such big news in Chicago that the four of us girls were contacted by Vogue to do a photo shoot for a new collection of Vera Wang wedding gowns.

Also, Esme had contacted the best wedding planner in Chicago to help make our dream weddings a reality. With a little less than 3 months until our weddings we were going to be extremely busy once we arrived in Chicago.

Edward seemed almost relived when I told him my schedule was going to be kind of tight once I arrived; He said it could be a good thing since he was going to Italy for a couple of weeks on business. He didn't want me to get too lonely. Isn't that so sweet and thoughtful?

"So I was thinking that I might change my wedding colors. The pale pink I had wanted sounded sweet. But the more I think about it the more I'm realizing I don't want sweet! I want dramatic romance! So I was thinking and I want your HONEST opinion about Burgundy and Gold." Rosalie looked at me expectantly. "Honestly I think since your wedding is in August burgundy and gold are much better suited. And I think the deep red will be very rich and the guys will feel a lot better about wearing red than pale pink." I told her while snickering.

"I know! Okay it's settled my colors are now officially burgundy and gold." She smiled.

I could hear Victoria and Maggie in the seats behind us chatting away over wedding gowns.

"I think we should fly to New York and pop into Kleinfeld's. Wouldn't it be so cool if we were on that show say yes to the dress?!" I overheard Maggie say.

Chuckling, I turned on my Gameboy and stuck in my ear buds and soon was lost in the world of Mario and the battle to save Princess Peach.

What had seemed like only a few minutes passed and Rose yanked out one of my ear buds.

"We are landing soon, thought you would want to know." Rose told me in my ear. I took my other ear bud out and I shook my head in thanks, and cut off my Gameboy sticking it back in my purse.

I was feeling a little nervous about the land but also very excited because that meant Edward was close.

3rd POV

At last the girls had finally made it to Chicago. No longer were they in the suburbs of Blairsville, Georgia. They had the great city of Chicago at their feet waiting to be explored. Smiles and curious eyes adorned their youthful faces as they made their way through the airport toward baggage claim. Even though the girls had been well educated of the world and different customs they rarely ever left the confinements of their exclusive community in Blairsville.

"Bella! Rosalie!"

Upon hearing their names Bella and Rose searched the crowd hunting vigorously for the person calling them. Rosalie was the first one to lay eyes on their caller.

A petite figure with long sleek black hair came walking toward them.

"Alice!"

"Oh finally you guys made it. I've been bored out of my mind. Now I have proper shopping partners." Alice said hugging each of the girls.

"Not that we aren't thrilled to see you Ali… but do you know where James might be?" Victoria asked while her eyes scanned around the room.

"Yeah where are the guys?" Rosalie asked.

"James and Liam are held up at the moment and will meet us at the house." Alice said giving the girls a tight smile.

"And where are Edward and Emmett?" Bella prompted.

"Probably half way to Italy." Alice rushed out.

"What?!"

"They tried calling you before they left. But you were already on your flight they literally just left that's why I'm here at the airport. I was seeing them off, Jasper and Carlisle included." Alice said looking down toward the floor.

"Do you know when they will be back?" Bella asked trying to keep her disappointment and tears at bay.

"A few weeks maybe longer. I'm sure they will try to hurry back. But from experience throwing yourselves into a project or in your case wedding planning will help pass the time." Alice said giving us sympathetic smiles while ushering us to a tall man in a black suit who I assumed was the Cullen's driver.

"Wait, shouldn't we get our bags from baggage claim?" Bella asked.

"No. We have already arranged for your bags to be dropped off at the house." Alice said while following the large man in the suit towards the black limo waiting out front.

One by one we gracefully slid into the limo.

"Oh man, this thing has a sunroof. Would you judge me if I climbed out the top and shouted 'Hello Chicago'." Maggie asked laughing.

"Come on I'll shout it with you." Victoria said hitting the button to roll back the sunroof.

"I'm so glad you all are here. This is way more fun than socialite luncheons." Alice said laughing at Victoria and Maggie who were halfway out of the sunroof while we waited through the heavy Chicago traffic.

"Hello Chicago!" Maggie and Victoria shouted. Several honks, a few cheers from people on the street and the man in the car next to us telling them to shut up was enough for Maggie and Victoria to pop back in the car while laughing hysterically.
