A/N: I'm sorry this chapter won't be very long. I had to take my cat to the vet because she's been throwing up a lot the last 3 days, so I haven't had much time to write today. I figured a short chapter is better than nothing.

Anam, it appears we have another thing in common besides our love for Twilight. Brothers are a pain in the ass. You can't live with them, and you can't live without them. ;)

Chapter 29. Goodbye For Now

As I woke up this morning, I felt very content and happy. Unfortunately, I knew that feeling wouldn't last as the day wore on.

Today was going to be the last day we would get to spend with our friends and family before we went back home to Chicago.

As much as we didn't want to leave, we had to. Riley had preschool, and Edward and I both had jobs to do.

We both pushed those thoughts out of our minds, and got ready to face the day.

We stopped at my father's house first. We spent a about 2 hours visiting with him before we said our goodbyes because Charlie had to go to work soon.

Saying goodbye to my father was really hard for the both of us. I had expected it to be, especially after everything we had been through. We both hugged each other and cried for nearly 5 minutes before we had to get going. We still had to say goodbye to the others. We promised to keep in touch with each other, and then we got in the car and went to the Cullen house.

We pulled up to the house, got Riley out of his carseat, and made our way into the house.

We made our way into the living room and greeted everyone before sitting down, and spent the next few hours playing games, watching tv, and telling stories about our childhood.

Everybody was laughing and having a good time until it was time to for us to leave. The laughter began to quiet down, and was soon replaced with quiet sniffles, and tearful farewells.

Edward, Riley, and I, took turns hugging Rosalie, Emmett, Alice, Jasper, and Carlisle, before heading to the door.

The others followed us to the front door to see us off, and Carlisle walked us out to our car. Before we got in, he hugged us once more, and told us something to cheer us up a little.

Apparently, Esme had just gotten picked up from the police station earlier that morning. That meant that it took her nearly two days to find someone to come and get her.

That made us laugh, and even Carlisle cracked a smile at that, before saying goodbye again, and walking back up to the house to watch us leave.

The rest of night and the next morning passed by in a blur.

Before we knew it, we were on a plane and heading back to the Windy City.

A/N: I know it was short, but like I said earler, a short chapter is better than no chapter at all. And I know that there wasn't any dialogue in this chapter, but it takes me awhile to write it, and I've had a long day, so I didn't really feel like it.

Also, for those of you not familiar with the nicknames for American cities, "The Windy City" is what Chicago is sometimes known as. It really deserves it's nickname. It really is very windy there sometimes. You would think that the tall buildings would block the wind, but it doesn't. I know that because I live near Chicago, and I've been there quite a few times. :)

Thanks for reviewing, favoriting, and following.

See you soon! :)
