She's awake. She's awake. SHE'S AWAKE. I ran downstairs and into the reception area.

"Excuse miss, can you please contact Dr. Edward Cullen and Dr. Carlisle Cullen please?" I said urgently. "Tell them to meet me in Daniella Swan's room." I rushed back upstairs and plopped myself onto the chair that I've been sitting on for four months now.

"Danni, Danni can you hear me?" I nudged her. She opened her eyes and smiled weakly.

"WA—ter." She tried to say. I got her a cup of warm water so that it wouldn't hurt her throat.

"Baby, does anything hurt?"

"My eyes, the light is too bright." She whispered. I turned to turn off the lights and turn on the desk lamp on. Just as I was sitting back down, the door opened and Carlisle and Edward flew in.

"Oh My Jesus." They said as they both stood frozen in place. Like father, like son. I giggled.

"What's up?" Danni asked smiling weakly. It wasn't until then that they both jumped out of their trance and both rushed to hug her. At the same time they were asking how she was and if she needed anything.

"Okay, guys I think she just wants to go back to sleep." I told them. They nodded and apologized before we all slipped into the hall to discuss what our next steps were going to be.

*two weeks later*

Today was Thanksgiving. Nobody other than Edward and Carlisle knew that Danni was awake. They didn't know because for one, we wanted her to be able to recover well before being attacked by everyone. And because she wanted to surprise everyone for Thanksgiving. So now this year instead of going to Dad's house, everyone was coming to Edwards' house. He had a three bedroom house that we barely ever went to but it had a huge dining room which was perfect for our Thanksgiving feast. We decided that Danni was going to be out of sight until we sat and gave our thank you so that everyone would be surprised but she wouldn't have to stay upstairs alone for too long. Right now it was eight in the morning and I was getting up to finish the thanksgiving dinner. I had baked three apple pies and three chocolate pies, I had the turkey and rice and salad to make today. And the rest Esme was going to bring. Today we would also be doing secret Santa. That was kind of pointless because in the end everyone got everyone else gifts but it was still fun.

After preparing everything I went back to my room to change out of my pjs. It was about two thirty right now and everyone would be arriving at four. Since they were going to sleep over (Alice wanted everyone together already so that we would wake up a 3:00 am to go black Friday shopping) we had to clear out the living room. I ran into the shower and let the warm body soothe my aching body. After shaving and making sure I was squeaky clean, I went out into my room and looked through my closet. I found an orange sweater dress that reached my knees and brown leggings; I finished my look off with brown flats. I left my hair wavy and put on eyeliner. After that I put on a gold locket that had Danni's name on one side and Katie's on the other, both Alice and I have it.

I walked into the living room and saw a sight that melted my heart.

Danni P.O.V:

I woke up early today and looked through the photo album I've made since Edward came into our lives. They were mostly candid pictures. The very first one was the day at the Grandpa's, when he was first introduced to Edward. In the picture Grandpa was holding Alex and shaking Dad's hand. The second picture was mom and dad dancing in the living room. Dad had surprised her with a late dinner it all looked romantic, when the though I fell asleep I snuck down to get a couple of pictures. You could see that the way they looked at each other was like someone who had just seen the light for the very first time. I knew that my real dad wasn't a good one, I've always known it. Mom doesn't know that I did, but it was pretty obvious the way that my friends talked about their fathers, most of my friends avoided talking about their fathers, but sometime they slipped. Anyway, the third picture was Alex and me sleeping in dad's car the day we went to the zoo with dad's sister. I stole the picture from his phone. my next picture was dad and grandpa sitting in the living room watching football, both were sitting on the edge of their seats, beer in hand, bowl of chips, shouting at the TV. The picture after that was Uncle Emmett and Jasper with my mom in the kitchen, all dancing around and flour from the cookies all over themselves.

I got up and closed the album. After placing it somewhere where no one would find it, I left to take a shower. After coming out of the shower I put on a red wrap around dress and white flats. I put on lip gloss and smiled at my reflection. My hair used to be dirty blonde, but now it was starting to turn brown, like my moms. I looked a lot like my mom; I had her lips, eyes, chin, and nose. I practically looked nothing from my biological father.

I went downstairs and heard my mom walking upstairs to take a shower. Thank God today was Saturday, I loved Saturdays, I don't know why. Dad came down and sat next to me. I smiled and hugged him.

"Good morning." I said.

"Good morning, Princess." He smiled. He looked at the mantel, and noticed the picture of Uncle Jasper and Katie at the annual father daughter dance.

"Where is your picture?" he asked curiously.

"I don't have one, my father never showed up." I whispered. I felt the pang in my chest from remembering staying up late year after year hoping that his flight was just delayed, but I wasn't fooling anyone—not even myself.

Edward took my hand and led me to stand up. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his i-phone, after connecting it to the i-pod dock, he clicked a couple buttons and then the music began. Ready, set, don't go by Billy Ray and Miley Cyrus rung through the room.

"Well how about you dance with me, right now?" he asked. My face lit up and I place my hand in his outstretched one. We both sang along, I was really surprised that he had this song on his i-pod or that he knew the lyrics.

"She's gotta do what she's gotta do, whether i like it or not
She's got dreams to big for this town and she needs to give 'em a shot
Where ever they are" Dad began singing as we floated around the living room.

"Look's like I'm all ready to leave and nothing left to pack" I blushed, I wasn't used to people listening to me sing.

"Ain't no room for me in that car even if she asked me to tag along, but I gotta be strong"

"I'm at the starting line the rest of my life, as ready as I've ever been
Got the hunger and the stars in my eyes
The prize is mine to win"

"She's waitin' on my blessings 'for she hits that open road
Baby get ready (oh, I'm ready)"

"Get set, don't go"

"Looks like things are fallin' in place"

"Feels like they're fallin' apart
Paintin' this big old smile on my face
To hide my broken heart
If only she knew"

"This is where you don't say what you want so bad to say"

"This is where I want to but I won't get in the way
Of her and her dreams
And spreadin' her wings"

"I'm at the starting line, the rest of my life
As ready as I've ever been
Got the hunger and the stars in my eyes
The prize is mine to win"

"She's waiting on my blessings, 'for she hits that open road
Baby get ready, get set,"

"Don't go" we both sang.

"I'm at the starting line the rest of my life as ready as I've ever been
Got the hunger and the stars in my eyes
The prize is mine to win"

"She's waitin' on my blessings 'for she hits that open road
Baby get ready (oh,)
Get set, please don't go

Don't go"

"I'm gonna go now, I'm ready"

"Don't go"

"I'll be alright, I'll be ok
Know that I'll be thinkin' of you every single day"
"She's gotta do what she's gotta do"

"Let me go"

"She's gotta do what she's gotta do"

"Oh, I gotta do what I gotta do" I finished, and I turned around to see my mom standing there with tears in her eyes.

E.P.O.V:

My heart broke into a bazillion pieces when Danni told me about her dickhead of a father never escorted her to a father daughter dance. She looked at Jasper's picture with Katie. They were both smiling big and Jasper had on a tux with a pink tie, and dancing with him Katie was wearing a light pink silky dress. I remember my sister making a big deal out of the father daughter dance, and my biological father used to take her and his step daughter, my sister always came back upset. Until Carlisle showed up, after that he escorted her to every single father daughter dance and my sister came back with smiles. I wanted to rip that fuckers head off for never taking Danni to a dance. I got up and we sang and danced. I remember that my sister used to love that song and downloaded it to my I-pod. We turned and saw Bella with tears in her eyes.

She smiled and walked over to us, I hugged them both, feeling content with my girls, I felt the little arms around my leg that belonged to Alex and smiled wider, I was a rich man family wise. I had everything. A wonderful woman by my side, a beautiful daughter and a handsome son. What more could anyone possibly want?
