"Okay, so, there is one other thing we didn't tell you," Carlisle said, holding up three other sets of keys.

"We had three treehouses built after the honeymoon. We figured that soon we would need a vacation, and treehouses seemed like a good idea at the time," Esme said.

"That's a great idea," I said. Jasper got our key and was given the short directions out to our treehouse. We headed off in the direction of the treehouse, Jasper carrying our luggage and me slipping slightly.

"Babygirl," Daddy said. "How old are you love?"

"Five, silly," I said, giggling at him.

"Wow, when did you get so old?" He asked, stopping under a treehouse.

"I'm not old Daddy. You're old," I said, giggling some more as he dropped the bags and wrapped his arms around me. He began to tickle me, causing me to laugh even more.

"You think you're funny princess?" Daddy asked.

"Yes," I said between giggles, causing him to tickle me more.

"Do you wanna take it back yet?" He asked.

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry Daddy," I said, still giggling from the tickling.

"I love you Princess. Even when you think I'm old," he said.

"I love you too Daddy. Even ,when you tickle me," I said. Daddy picked me up, carrying me up to treehouse.

"Daddy, look," I said, pointing to the view of the waterfall from our bedroom window. There was a giant picture window across from our bed, overlooking the waterfall on the island.

"It's very pretty, isn't it?" Daddy asked. I nodded, leaning my head on his shoulder.

"Water is taught by thirst. Land by the ocean passed. Transport by throe. Peace by it's battles told. Love by memorial mould. Birds by the snow," he said softly.

"What are you saying Daddy?" I asked, looking up at him.

"It's a poem by Emily Dickinson," he said.

"What's it mean?" I asked.

"It means that you are taught you miss something when you go through a painful experience without it," he said.

"So like when you left and I missed you?" I asked, looking for an explanation that I understood.

"Yeah, sort of," he said.

"Daddy, what are we going to do?" I asked.

"Well, we should probably give everyone else some space for a while, and the sun is starting to go down so would you like to walk on the beach and watch the sunset?" He asked.

"Yay!" I yelled. "Can I wear my Lilo dress?"

"Sure princess," he said. He quickly unpacked our bags and grabbed my Lilo nightgown from my bag.

"We can go watch the sunset them come back and get some sleep," he said.

"Sounds good. I'm kind of tired," I said. "I don't really like planes much."

"I know princess, but you were so good. You didn't freak out or anything. Daddy is so proud of you for that," he said, hugging me tightly.

My smile doubled at the fact that I made Daddy proud. Nothing could make me happier than knowing Daddy was proud of me.

"Alright, let's change and head out," Daddy said. He helped me change into my Lilo dress before he changed into some shorts and a t-shirt.

"Daddy, can I wear flowers too?" I asked, grabbing my flower crown from where he had set it when he unpacked our bags.

"Of course you can princess," Daddy said, placing the flowers in my hair.

"Thank you Daddy," I said happily.

"You're welcome sunshine," he said, kissing the top of my head. Daddy picked me up and carried me down to the beach, setting me down in the sand. I grabbed onto his hand as we walked on the beach.

"Daddy, the sun," I said, gasping at the diamond like reflections off our exposed skin.

"We can be ourselves here. Just like when we went camping," he said.

"It's so pretty, Daddy," I said, moving my hands and watching the shimmer change.

"It sure is princess," Daddy said kissing my forehead. "Did you see the sunset?" He asked, pointing to the sunset on the horizon.

"I didn't think anything so pretty could exist," I said, smiling in awe at the view.

"That's how I feel about you everyday Little One," Daddy muttered, probably hoping I wouldn't hear him.
