Okay, okay I admit it: I'm procrastinating. But, I have a good excuse! This came into my head while I was working on something else and I had to write it down. However, by this weekend, HT will be updated and so will NSILA. I promise.

DISCLAIMER: The characters, the universe and the lyrics don't belong to me. The characters and universe belong to Stephenie Meyer and the song "In My Daughter's Eyes" belongs to Martina McBride.

This one-shot is dedicated to my own mother, even though she'll probably never read it. So, even if you never read this, this is for you, mommy. I love you so much... even if I don't act like it all the times.

Enjoy!

My Daughter's Eyes

I smiled as Renesemee as she sat next to her father on the couch in our room. Edward had randomly put a CD in, we were sitting, and listening to it as our baby girl danced around as she listened to some of the songs. I leaned back on the bed and I felt my head connect with Edward's lap. Smiling up at him, I sighed as the next song began to play.

In my daughter's eyes I am a hero

I am strong and wise and I know no fear

But the truth is plain to see

She was sent to rescue me

I see who I wanna be

In my daughter's eyes

My eyes widened as the song continued. Sitting up, I watched Nessie as she dove at her father. She giggled a little as she clung to him and Edward held her tightly as the song continued. Edward looked over at me and he mouthed over the top of her little bronze head.

You know as well as I do that this is how you feel about her.

I sighed and nodded to him. I did think that. She saw me as a hero, strong and wise with no fear. But, I knew that she was given to me as a gift, someone to rescue Edward and I. I would be forever grateful that she had come into my life.

She brought out the best in both of us.

In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal

Darkness turns to light and the

world is at peace

This miracle God gave to me

gives me strength when I am weak

I find reason to believe

In my daughter's eyes

I watched them, before Renesmee leaped into my arms. Laughing, I stood up and spun her around for a while. She laughed, her arms locked around my neck as we spun. Edward watched us, smiling as we spun and danced. I stopped spinning and her hand held on to my finger. Laughing a little, I lifted her up and kissed her forehead as she clung to me again.

And when she wraps her hand

around my finger

It puts a smile in my heart

Everything becomes a little clearer

I realize what life is all about

Suddenly, she stopped. She held on to me as she listened to the words. Confusion touched her brown eyes for a moment before she put her hand on my cheek, her fingers still locked around mine. I felt the warmth seep into my skin, and barely registered the thoughts she sent into my head.

It's hangin' on when your heart

has had enough

It's giving more when you feel like giving up

I've seen the light

It's in my daughter's eyes

Her thoughts touched mine. Truth, mama? Do you think that? I smiled, holding her close to me as I nodded.

"Yes, my darling daughter. It is the truth. You were sent to save us," I whispered as a smiled lit up her face. She held on to me as tightly as she could. I spun again, holding her close as my mouth opened, singing the last verse.

In my daughter's eyes I can see the future

A reflection of who I am and what will be

Though she'll grow and someday leave

Maybe raise a family

When I'm gone I hope you see how happy

she made me

For I'll be there

In my daughter's eyes

I was a little surprised at how clear and true the words sounded from me, but I was a vampire now, I should be used to it. I doubted I ever would though.

The song finished and Nessie clung to me again. "I love you, mama," she murmured in her angelic voice. I smiled as Edward walked over and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"I love you too, sweetie," I whispered, kissing the top of her head. Her breathing slowed and she fell asleep, the last verse of the song in my voice was her lullaby for the day.

As I went to set her down, she still held on to me. I smiled and kissed the top of her head again. Renesmee murmured something in her sleep and I gently brush some hair out of her face. Edward chuckled as he kissed my cheek.

"You're amazing, did you know that, Bella?" He asked and I shook my head, tearing my gaze from my sweet little baby to look back at him. Leaning back again, I felt my back coliding with his chest. He held me again.

"No, you and Renesmee are the amazing ones," I said, as she shifted in my arms, gripping my shirt with her tiny little fingers, so tightly I almost worried that she would put a hole in my shirt. He laughed and shook his head.

"Even as a vampire, you still don't see yourself clearly," he remarked as he kissed the top of Nessie's head before kissing me. I just shook my head as I looked out the window. The sun was setting, and was out surprisingly, throwing sparkles across Edward's and mine skin while our baby glimmered a little, making her look like she was covered in diamond dust. I kissed her again, holding my precious angel to my chest.

Our precious angel of a daughter.

My sweet Renesmee.

I think I did well. Okay, so there's not a lot of dialogue or anything, but I think it gets the point across. But it's so short! I tried to make it longer, but it didn't work as well as I thought it would. I'm glad I added the slight ExB fluff at the end.

Thank you all for reading this, and drop a review if you want,
