Chapter 13
Edward and I sat in the Cullen's living room after the girls left. The guys were already out preparing other arrangements. I think they were trying to give us the house to ourselves on purpose.
Edward got up and pulled me up with him. He led me to his piano and started to play my lullaby. I rested my head on his shoulder and let the music carry me places.
It carried me to a courtyard with Edward as my prince, and I was a princess. We walked on a trail lined by cherry trees. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom and the air smelled lovely. I saw an arch in front of me and my vision changed. I was in a long flowing white dress and Edward was in front of me by the arch I had seen. I was carrying a bouquet and walking slowly towards Edward while a slow march played.
A pastor was standing near Edward when I drew up near him. Edward's hand took mine and my vision changed.
I was holding a small child with brilliant blue eyes and blonde hair. And he was a human. I couldn't begin to comprehend what I was seeing until Edward's song stopped. I was abruptly brought back to reality.
"Are you alright, loved? You look like you just saw a ghost." Edward looked concerned.
"I'm fine. Can you play a different song for a second?" I asked. I had a hunch at what had happened and was curious.
"Anything you would like." He said and began to play Für Elise. I was wrenched to a castle corridor and saw an old man teaching a woman to play piano. She stopped playing and kissed him softly. He stopped and looked at her long and hard. She blushed and went back to playing whiled he stroked her hair softly.
Edward finished the song and I was brought back again. I gasped and stared at him.
"Edward, I think I know my gift." I whispered. He looked at me shocked, and then nodded for me to continue.
"I think I can tell what was on the artist's mind when they composed a song." I whispered. Edward raised his eyes at me, before turning to his piano and playing a song I had never heard before.
I could see Esme dancing in front of me. The song switched and then I saw Carlisle smiling. Afterwards came Rosalie, and Emmett. Their song was long and dramatic. A light graceful song came next and I saw Alice and Jasper.
"You were playing a song for Esme, then Carlisle, then Rose and Emmett, and lastly Alice and Jasper." I smiled at him. He looked shocked then kind of embarrassed.
"What did you see when I played your song?" He asked me.
"I saw each of us as royalty and getting married. Then there was a baby boy." I smiled at him. If Edward could have blushed he would have.
"Very interesting," Edward mused. "You didn't have any musical experience as a human, though."
"I always wished I could learn to play. Maybe that has transformed to my talent." I suggested.
"That's very likely. I'll have to talk to Carlisle about this when he gets back. In the mean time, let's have some fun with it."
Edward started to play his very extensive piano collection and I was overtaken by a flood of visions.
