The song used in this chapter is "Heaven" by DJ Sammy. IT IS NOT MINE. Many of you may know it from the 9/11 tribute song. Personally, I love it. I changed some of the words to better suit this situation. (I've used '~llllll~' in between each verse because for some reason, I can never put spaces or paragraphs in that actually separate themselves.) Some on you tube may have different lyrics and everything, but I'm using (what I think is) the original order of things, she's just playing and singing it a lot slower, and it's just piano.

I got up and walked to the front door. Esme was right behind me. I heard the others talk about what they thought he would do.
I stood on the porch with a smiling Esme by my side. He greeted us with a tired voice. Either work was horrible, or my song really took a toll on him.
"How was work?" Esme asked as he kissed her cheek.
"Good." He answered flatly. He smiled at me before walking passed us into the house.
Esme motioned for me to follow him. I walked in after him and she closed the door behind her.
"Stop. Turn." Edward said to Carlisle.
Alice giggled. She was excited too.
"What's going on?" He asked.
Seth whispered something to Leah and she laughed loudly.
When he turned around and looked at me, seeing that I was following him, I froze. What if he hated it? What if it just put him off more? What if he didn't actually consider me his daughter after all?
"Don't be ridiculous." Edward said to me.
"You look like a lost puppy." Rosalie laughed at me.
"That's funny, I don't feel like Jacob." I smirked.
They all laughed, and even Carlisle cracked a smile.
"Vi has something she wants to show you." Esme said.
He looked at me with questioning eyes. I glanced up at Esme and she rolled her eyes. She grabbed my arm and pulled me to the piano. Then she returned to Carlisle and dragged him over to the side.
"This looks really awkward." Renesmee said.
"Shut up." I murmured.
"She's just scared of what he'll think." Edward told them.
"Stop." Esme said to them. "It's sweet."
"Yeah, the song, not the atmosphere." Alice said.
"Be quiet and listen." Esme ordered with a smile. "She wrote you a song while you were at work." She said to Carlisle.
He looked anxious, "Ah, Esme I don't—"
"No, it's not depressing, I promise. It's beautiful." She cut him off.
"You thought the other one was beautiful…"
"It was beautiful in a different way. That would have brought a tear to my eye if possible, but this would bring several."
"I don't think it's that good…" I said.
"She's being modest." Esme said to him. "Play." She smiled and nodded encouraging.
I took a deep breath and my fingers glided over the keys.

"Daddy you're all that I want
When I'm lying here in your arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven
We're in heaven
~lllll~
Oh thinking about our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Now nothing can take you away from me
We've been down that road before
But that's over now
You keep me coming back for more
~lllll~
Daddy you're all that I want
When I'm lying here in your arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it here in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
We're in heaven
~lllll~
Now nothing can change what you mean to me
There's a lot that I can say
But just hold me now
'Cause your love will light the way
~lllll~
Daddy you're all that I want
When I'm lying here in your arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it here in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
~lllll~
Now our dreams are coming true
Through the good times and the bad
I'll be standing here by you
We're in heaven
~llllll~
Love is all that I need
And I found it here in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
~lllll~
We're in heaven."
llllll~
I ended on a soft note. The others clapped and I looked up at Carlisle hesitantly.
"This would have been a whole lot easier if either none of them were here, or I recorded it onto a disc…" I said quietly.
A small smile spread across Carlisle's face. He stepped forward and grabbed my hand. I stood up and put my arms around him.
Emmett cheered as they all clapped again.
"You're all making it embarrassing! Please stop!" I stressed to them when I pulled away from Carlisle.
He kissed my forehead and smiled at Esme. She was holding her hands together in front of her smile. "I wish I could cry." She said quietly.
"I would be crying too." Carlisle admitted. I smiled and glanced at Renesmee. A tear rolled down her cheek.
"Show off." Alice smirked at her.
Renesmee laughed and wiped it away. "Sorry."
I smiled at her and looked over to Esme. She stepped forward and kissed the top of my head, "Beautiful." She complimented again.
I thanked her and turned my eyes back to Carlisle. He was leaning on the side of the couch beside Leah.
"So, did that make up for the other one?" I asked.
He smiled sympathetically, "You didn't need to make up for anything."
"For arguments sake?"
He nodded, "Yes, it would have made up for it."
"I'm really sorry to ruin the moment, but does anyone else want something to eat?" Renesmee asked, "Well, I know you three will, but do you Vi?"
"No, thank you." I declined.
"You haven't eaten all day…" Esme said.
"I hunted when I went out earlier."
"Liar." Edward said.
"Must you ruin everything?" I snapped. "Do you find joy in getting my in trouble? Or just pissing me off?"
"Letty." Carlisle warned softly.
I growled and walked up to my room quickly. I heard Carlisle follow me, and Esme scold Edward.
"Let, stop." He said as I walked out to the balcony. I wasn't going to jump over the railing; I was just going to stand out there. Get some fresh air.
I sat to the side of the balcony. On the railing, leaning against the wall.
Carlisle stood beside me, studying my face. "Can you please give me a hint as to what you're feeling right now?" He asked.
"I'm irritated." I said.
"I understand that, but he was doing the right thing…"
"I know." I closed my eyes and dropped my head.
He took a step towards me and put his arm around me, kissing my head. He rubbed my arm soothingly and stared into the forest in silence for a few minutes.
"I love you, daddy." I whispered. It was so quiet I don't think I would have heard it if someone else had said it.
"I love you too, sweetheart." He kissed my head again. "Thank you for the song. It was wonderful."
"Anytime." I rested my head on his shoulder and stared into the trees. It was getting dark.
