It was late at night and I was supposed to be asleep by now, but I couldn't stop thinking of mama and daddy. Suddenly, I had an idea. Daddy already know my plan; I heard him chuckle with delight as he played my lullaby to put me to sleep, which obviously wasn't working.
Daddy! I called to him in my mind. He was standing in front of my crib less than half a second later. I raised my arms and he picked me up and set me on the floor after he kissed my hair. I smiled, showing my dimples and all of my teeth. Daddy was going to surprise mama.
I followed him to mama and daddy's room where mama was standing in front of the mirror, examining the color of her eyes.
Daddy stood in the entrance of the door and began to sing:
If I never knew you, if I never felt this love I would have no inkling of how precious love can be.
He started walking towards mama with his arms outstretched towards her. He stopped behind her, gazing at her reflection in the mirror and wrapped his arms around her.
And if I never held you I would never have a clue how at last I'd find in you the missing part of me.
He kissed her neck, rested his chin on her shoulder and began playing with her fingers.
In this world so full of fears, full of rage and lies
He turned her around, placing his hands on her cheeks. She smiled, leaning into his touch.
I can see the truth so clear in you eyes, so dry your eyes. I'm so grateful to you. I'd have lived my whole life through lost forever if I never knew you.
Mama began to sing. She placed her hands on his chest.
Oh, if I never knew you I'd be safe but half as real
She circled her arms around his neck and linked her hands together.
Never knowing I could feel a love so strong and true.
Daddy moved his arms around her waist and pulled her closer. I loved seeing them like this. I almost started crying. Mama continued to sing.
I'm so grateful to you. I'd have lived my whole life through lost forever if I never knew you.
Daddy sang now.
Oh, I thought our love would be so beautiful.
Mama:
Somehow we'd make the whole world bright.
As they sang the next part together, I walked towards them, giggling with glee.
I never thought that fear and hate could be so strong. All they'd leave us were these whispers in the night, but still my heart is saying we were right.
They began to slowly sway, side to side. I didn't know who was happier: me, mama, or daddy. It seemed about the same to me. I stopped a few feet away from them and listened to the harmony they were now producing.
Mama: Oh, if I never knew you
Daddy: There's no moment I regret
Mama: If I never knew this love
Daddy: Since the moment that we met
Mama: I would have no inkling of
Daddy: If our time has gone too fast
Mama: How precious life can be
Daddy: I've lived at last
I thought our love would be so beautiful.
I walked to them, slower this time, tears welling up in my eyes.
Mama echoed daddy: So beautiful.
Daddy sang: Somehow we'd make the whole world bright.
Mama: I thought our love would be so beautiful. We'd change the darkness into light.
She sang with daddy, again. But still my heart is saying we were right.
They now separated, holding hands. They faced me and I walked forward, again. Daddy picked me up with his free arm and held me. I wasn't aware that I'd been crying until mama wiped away the tears now streaming down my cheeks with her cool fingers.
Daddy: And if I never knew you.
Mama echoed: If I never knew you.
Daddy: I'd have lived my whole life through.
Mama let go of daddy's hand and placed her hand on his left shoulder.
Empty as the sky
Daddy moved his left hand to the small of her back. Never knowing why
As they ended, I put my left hand of daddy's neck and my right hand against mama's cheek, projecting my thoughts of pure joy and happiness to them.
Lost forever if I never knew you
I love you, mama and daddy, I thought. I was beaming now.
"We love you, too, Renesmee," they said together. They shared a small smile and turned back to me.
"Goodnight, darling," mama said as she smoothed my hair with you free hand.
"Sweet dreams, angel," daddy murmured as he kissed my forehead.
I was tired now. Goodnight, I thought as I drifted toward unconsciousness.
When I awoke the next morning, no one had moved an inch.
