Pictures of Hailey, Lily, Emily and Ethan (Emily's husband) on the side

~~~Mitchell International Airport, Milwaukee, Wisconsin~~~

"I am so excited about this weekend, we haven't gone anywhere for a trip in a long time," a tall brunette stated as she and two other girls walked towards the airport terminal.

The second tallest brunette laughed and looped her arm through the tallest brunette, "Emily you're just happy to get away from all the snow here."

"Hey you can't say you're not looking forward to leaving all this snow behind," the girl now identified as Emily commented with a smile, and then continued, "I think we are all excited about leaving all the snow that has graced us. Right Lily?"

The shortest brunette of the three, Lily, nodded her head in agreement, "Of course, you know how much I hate all the snow we get every year."

"Well then I guess it's a good thing I got that promotion at work that came with a bonus that paid for this weekend's trip," the second tallest stated as they arrived at the terminal.

Emily responded, "Hell yeah, you're an awesome friend Hailey."

"I know," Hailey, the second tallest, replied cheekily as they gave their tickets to the flight attendant, then turned to the girls and exclaimed, "next stop Las Vegas!"

~~~Three and a Half Hours Later, Las Vegas, Nevada~~~

"I am so glad the plane ride is over, that brat in back of us was getting on my last nerve," Emily stated in an annoyed tone as she walked over to baggage claim, "I swear if he had kicked my chair one more time I was going to scream."

Lily gave a short laugh as she grabbed her suitcase, "It's not like he kicked your seat the entire time, besides I think Hailey enjoyed flirting with his dad."

"Well he was hot and we were both single, there's nothing wrong with a little harmless flirting," Hailey said grinning.

Emily rolled her eyes, "You flirt with every single guy you see."

"No she doesn't, I believe that was you until a year ago. Are you perhaps having second thoughts about marrying Ethan?" Lily asked as they made their way to the front of the airport.

Hailey chuckled as Emily replied, "Of course not, Ethan is sweet and romantic. Plus he is fantastic in bed; I'm going to miss him this weekend."

"Well you could have stayed home," Lily commented as they loaded their suitcases in the trunk of the cab.

Emily smiled, "I would never miss a chance to have a girl's weekend."

"None of us would, that why we are best friends," Hailey commented as they got into the cab, Lily and Emily nodded their heads in agreement as Hailey gave the hotel name to the driver.

~~~Cosmopolitan Hotel, Las Vegas~~~

"Hailey, this hotel is fantastic, just how big was your bonus?" Emily asked in an awed voice as she looked at the hotel.

Hailey laughed replying, "That my dear friend will remain a mystery, just appreciate my generosity and get moving. I don't want to stand out here all day."

Lily starting to giggle as she heard Emily grumbling as they followed their friend into the hotel. After the girls checked in and made their way up to their penthouse suite. As they entered they all admired the view and explored a little before they each went their separate ways towards their rooms within the suite for the weekend.

~~~20 Minutes Later (Hailey's POV) ~~~

As I unpacked my toiletries and a few outfits I heard Emily telling Lily about what shows she wanted to see and what clubs she wanted to check out. 'I guess being married is not going to stop her from partying,' I thought to myself with a chuckle. This weekend will definitely be one to remember and I was so glad that I could treat my best friends to this trip. We have been through so much together in the last eight years and without them I would be probably be a workaholic.

As I was plugging my iPhone charger into the outlet I heard Emily exclaim from the doorway, "We have to go and see Cirque du Soleil, I was so jealous you and Lily got to see them that time they came to Milwaukee and I didn't. Please say we can go, please!" As she finished her statement she moved across the room and latched onto my arm and gave me her best puppy dog face.

"Of course, I figured you would want to go and bought the tickets online," I said with a grin as I peeled her fingers off from around my arm.

She squealed and did a happy dance as she chanted to no one in particular, "Hailey is so freaking awesome!"

I looked at Lily, who was rolling her eyes with a smile, but I quickly turned my head to Emily when she gave a little scream and dashed to her room as she yelled, "I have to find something to wear!"

I looked back at Lily and we both started laughing, only to laugh harder when we heard Emily yell from her room, "stop laughing, it's not funny!"

"Whatever you wear will look fantastic on you Em, you still have that honeymoon glow," Lily replied with a grin.

I added my two cents as I kicked off my wedge heels and sat on the couch, "Unless that glow is because she's pregnant. I mean her and Ethan do go at it like rabbits. Remember they had sex in the limo on the way to the wedding reception. I guess that's why she insisted that they have their own limo and that the rest of the bridal party got a different limo."

"You know, you two never would have known about the whole sex in the limo thing if my Mom hadn't blurted out the fact that Ethan's pants were unzipped in front of the entire bridal party. I mean my brothers still tease me about it to this day," Emily commented as she came out of the room with two different dresses in her hands holding them up for us to see as she continued, "and as for the baby topic, Ethan and I decided we wanted a family sooner rather than later. So I stopped taking birth control a few months ago and we just found out last week that I'm 6 weeks pregnant. You two are the first to know besides our doctor of course. Now which dress should I wear tonight?"

My eyes widened and I held up my hands, "Hold on just a minute, did you just say that you're pregnant?

Emily gave us a wide smile as she nodded her head. Lily and I both shot over to Emily and enclosed her in a tight hug as we said, "congrats" over and over again.

"Oh I so have dibs on God Mother," Lily exclaimed suddenly with a huge smile on her face as she pulled back from the three way hug.

Emily looked over at me with questioning eyes, "Is that okay with you?"

"If Lily wants to be God Mother so bad its fine with me, besides I will end up being his favorite aunt anyways," I stated with a confident smile as Lily just laughed, then I added, "and I think you should go with the red dress, I remember you telling me that Ethan said you looked sinful in that color."

Emily gave a wistful smile, "He did, he is just so romantic."

"Okay we don't need you to start going on and on about how great your husband is, let's just make a game plan for this weekend," I said with a smile and Lily nodded her head in agreement.

Emily just grinned and sat down next to us and started to comment on things I thought we should do this weekend. I just knew this weekend was going to be great and I couldn't wait to experience it before real life got in the way.
