A/N: I know, I took too long again :-( I'm sorry everyone! I didn't mean to take forever again, it's just that school is getting a bit more stressful since it's getting closer to the end of the semester and everything. It gets tiring and stressful, you understand, right? So I'm going to warn you right now, the updates won't come as quickly as before. Like I said, I have to do school stuff and make sure I keep up my grades and my GPA. But don't worry, I will still update, it just won't be as frequent, but the semester ends in the middle of May, and when it ends, I'll be able to update a lot more :-) Anywho, I hope you guys like this chapter, thanks so much for those who have left me such awesome reviews! You guys are the bees-knees!!

Vivian's Lullaby
I took in my surroundings after Edward told me that we were in his room. It was so "Edward", several books and papers. He always struck me as the intellectual type.
"Wow, this room is big. My room can fit in this room!" I exclaimed.
"Don't you think you're exaggerating a bit?" Edward asked.
"Not really. Come on, you've seen my room, it's smaller than this."
"That's true." he chuckled.
I continued to explore his room, and I can't help but be jealous at the awesome view from the huge open window.
"Do you have any idea how cool this is?!" I asked him.
He just looked at me like it was no big deal.
"Do you want to trade rooms?" I asked jokingly.
"No thanks, I'll stay in my cool room." he chuckled at me.
I stuck my tongue out at him. I then noticed that he only had a black leather couch…but no bed.
"No bed?"
"No, I don't sleep."
"Really? At all?"
"No, not at all."
"That sucks. So that means you watch me sleep the entire night?"
"Yes."
"Doesn't that get boring?"
"Never. I told you, I like watching you sleep."
"Well, I always wanted to get freaky on a leather couch." I wiggled my eyebrows suggestively at him.
"I'll keep that in mind." Edward replied with an amused smirk in his face.
I saw a pile of old-looking books on what I assumed was Edward's desk. I walked over to them and opened one of the books to see actual handwriting on the pages.
"Are all of these your notebooks?"
"Yeah, I've been keeping them over the years. I wouldn't recommend reading them, unless you don't want to sleep. You can read them if you want."
"Oh I was going to anyway, but thanks for the permission. Wow, you really are old, aren't you?"
Edward gave a light chuckle at my question. I turned to look at his entertainment section which was all records, CDs, and a fancy shmancy stereo system.
"Wow, you have so much music. What do you have in the stereo right now?"
"Listen for yourself." Edward replied as he turned on the stereo and pressed Play.
Classical music was in the air, it was Rhapsody on a Theme by Rachmaninoff.
"I love this song. I think of Somewhere In Time every time I hear it." I told Edward.
"This is one of my favorite songs." Edward replied.
He then held out his hand to me, I put my hand in his, and he pulled me close to him. Then I put my other hand on his shoulder and he put his on my waist, then we started slow dancing, not once taking our eyes off of each other. Edward then slowly twirled me around and pulled me close to him again, only closer. I held on to him tighter, silently begging him never to let me go. He held me slightly tighter in reply. I laid my head on his chest, not hearing a heartbeat but enjoying this moment between us. Edward leaned his head lightly onto mine as we continued to sway back and forth. After what must have been a few minutes since the song was over, Edward pulled slightly away from me so he could look down at me. I moaned in protest, not wanting to break the contact between us, Edward just chuckled.
"I want to show you something." Edward told me as he gave me his breathtaking smile.
Then, without much warning, Edward wrapped my arms around his shoulders so that I was on his back, then he ran and jumped out the window. He jumped onto a tree with me on his back, he then turned his head to look at me.
"You better hang on tight, Spider-Monkey."
I giggled at him as he started climbing up the tree. He then started jumping from tree to tree all throughout the forest. It was the coolest thing ever, even for me. We ended up on the top of a huge, very tall tree. We were standing on the strong, thick branches, Edward's arm wrapped around my waist as we were staring at the incredible view in front of us. We could see over the entire forest- the whole town.
"Edward, this is amazing! I would say this sort of thing doesn't exist, but then again, creatures like us aren't supposed to exist."
"Yeah, we're from the same world."
We spent the next hour just dangling around on the branches, talking about everything and nothing. Most of the time though, words weren't exchanged. There wasn't need for any, we just enjoyed being together. Eventually we made it back to Edward's house, just in time for Esme to come into Edward's room to tell us that my dinner was ready.
The food was fantastic! It was a little weird being the only one eating, but I certainly wouldn't disrespect Esme by refusing to eat at all, besides I was really hungry. For people who don't eat food, they are really good at cooking Linguine and just Italian food in general. Rosalie and Emmett were in their room since she didn't want to be in the same room as 'Edward's Pet'. Bitch. I guess Emmett is calming her down in his own special way. While trying to not throw up from a visual of that, Edward grabbed my hand after I finished eating and lead me away from the dining room.
"Where are we going?" I asked him.
"To my music room." he replied.
"You have a music room?"
"Well, it's more of a piano room, but yes."
"You play the piano? That's so cool!" I exclaimed.
"I compose music, too. I want to play something for you."
"Yay, I get a free live concert!" I exclaimed excitedly.
Edward chuckled as we entered the music room. There in the center of the room, was a beautiful black grand piano. Edward led me to a sofa that was next to the piano, facing the piano bench. I sat down on the sofa as Edward sat down on the bench. He then started playing the most beautiful song I have ever heard in my life. The melody was hauntingly enchanting, I could feel the emotion Edward put into the music. My heart was beating rapidly and tears stung my eyes, the song was so beautiful that it moved me. I stood up from the sofa and sat down next to Edward on the bench as he continued to play the song.
Before I knew it, the song had ended. The room was silent except for my breathing, until I broke the silence.
"That was…unbelievable. You play beautifully, Edward."
"Thank you. So, you liked it?"
"I loved it. That was the most beautiful song I have ever heard. What do you call it?"
"Vivian's Lullaby."
My heart stopped and tears started pouring from my eyes. He wrote me a song! Just when I thought I couldn't love this man any more than I already do.
"You wrote this for me?"
"Of course. You inspired me, Vivian. You are my life now." Edward told me as his hand caressed my cheek.
"As you are mine." I replied.
We then leaned toward each other until our lips met, chastely expressing our love for one another.

A/N: What did you think? I hope you liked my rendition of the bedroom scene and the lullaby scene! No hot and heavy stuff this chapter, this was a much sweeter and more romantic one which I thought was very necessary :-) Instead of the lullaby from the movie, I'm using A River Flows In You by Yiruma. In my opinion, it's so much prettier! I have to the link to the video of the song on my profile so check it out! Oh and also, an awesome reviewer made me a video of Silver Sun on YouTube, that link is also on my profile so please watch that one too! I'm still accepting videos from people who are interested in making one for me, there's no limit :-) Thank you guys who have reviewed and stuck by me, I'll update as soon as I can! PLEASE REVIEW!!!!
