The lunch is ready for everyone and Isaac has come back from wherever he goes too. Andrea and Jax didn't even question it because they know how Isaac is. They just leave it be as long as he didn't do anything wrong and come back safely
Lizzie comes to pick Elia and Sebastian from the backyard.
When she arrives, she sees that Elia has fallen asleep and notices the tear stain on Elia's face.
"Why is she crying?" Lizzie asks worriedly
"She started to feel uncomfortable but all good now. She just fell back asleep 30 minutes ago. I didn't have the heart to wake her up" Seb replied
"Oh god, she can't take her meds anymore" Lizzie said sighing
Elia already took her meds this morning and at the hospital. So, she has consumed 2 pills already.
"We have to wake her up, she's not eating much on breakfast" Lizzie said
Seb just nodded his head
"Elia, Eli baby, lunch is ready. Everyone is waiting for you to eat together" Lizzie said caress her daughter cheeks softly and gently waking her up
Elia stirs from her father's embrace and slowly opens her eyes.
"We'll eat and then we can go back to sleep okay babe?" Seb asks and Elia just nodded her head.
She was really tired. The meds are strong enough to make her fall asleep all the time.
The three of them went inside and to the dining table where everyone was sitting.
Elia didn't talk much as she was still sleepy. So, Lizzie has to feed Elia to make sure she's eating.
"I don't wanna go to beach today" the kids said in unison making the adults look at them weird
"Why? You so excited to play on the beach this morning" Ruffalo's wife asks
"I want to keep El's company. We could play board games, watch movies, watch youtube videos" Rose replied sweetly making Elia smiling even she's half awake
"I think I have something from my laptop that I didn't put on most of my vlog though" Isaac said for the first time after he came back.
Elia was wide awake when she heard this
"No, don't. Isaac Ryle don't you dare" Elia said glaring at him. This just makes the adults curious
"Why?" Lizzie asks
"Nothing" Elia replied looking at her mother trying to shrug her shoulders but she couldn't since her shoulder was the one being hurting her.
"Oh, please Lia. I've been keeping it for this occasion." Isaac replied pleading
It was compilation videos of Elia being silly and goofy that nobody ever watched this side of her before. Isaac and Elia promise each other that it'll not go on his youtube video and Isaac said he agrees if she agrees to let him show it to her family someday. Elia at that moment didn't think that she'll find her family soon. So, she just agrees on that.
"Besides, it's a promise" Isaac said smirking knowing he'll get to show them this side of Elia.
"Okay, I really wanna watch it so bad. Please" Seb said helping Isaac to make Elia agree on this
"Fine. Whatever. Don't be surprised, that's it" Elia said, giving in.
"Okay! to the living room!" Isaac said excitedly. Luckily, all the kids have done eating and Elia couldn't eat anymore much to Lizzie dismay but as long as she's eating, it's good.
Seb brought Elia to the living room and put her down on the couch leaving space for Lizzie on Elia's right side as he sits on Elia's left side.
The ladies were doing dishes for a moment while Isaac prepared the TV and his laptop.
It only took them 10 minutes and patiently waiting for the ladies to settle in on the couch with their family.
"So, what is this about?" Mackie asks excitedly
Isaac look at everyone with his grin
"This is the side you never see from Eliana. This is her goofy side and her crackhead side. You'll love it" Isaac informs and he could see everyone was eager to watch this video that he's been talking about
"Wow, you have a folder of Elia?" Holland asks noticing the 'Princess' folder name on his laptop
"Oh, that's um" Isaac stutter nervously looking at Elia for help and Elia also looking for an excuse
"That's um my just some bloopers of the youtube content from Isa's youtube channel" Elia replied nervously
Everyone was looking at both teens repeatedly not believing it.
"The videos please Isaac before I changed my mind" Elia said with a smile asking him to continue this before it turns into a Q & A session.
Isaac immediately clicks the folder 'The goofy & silly'. He played it immediately and they watched it as the first clip played.
They watch it for 30 minutes.
They are so shocked and happy at the same time when they get to see this side of Eliana.
There're so many videos that Isaac never showed it to the internet they got to see exclusively like Elia joking around, laughing like real laugh, her bloopers when they do acoustic cover.
Elia has fallen asleep 5 minutes after the clip being played, even with all the laughs, she still sleeps peacefully. Lizzie and Seb have the biggest smile watching the videos.
"It's not her bloopers video isn't it?" Lizzie asks, playing with her daughter's hair looking at her daughter's sleeping figure.
Isaac just sighs and looks at Elia's sleeping figure and then turns to his computer that is connected to TV and clicks the 'Princess' folder open to show it to them.
Everyone looks at it thoroughly. The folder consists of Elia singing alone. Nobody ever heard her singing alone even on acoustic cover.
"See any songs you don't even recognize exist?" Isaac asks
"She wrote her own song?" Mackie asks
"Her life stories. This is how Elia confessed. Through lyrics. She made a song, she wrote it, she sings it but she never let anyone hear it except for me because she doesn't want anyone to have pity on her once they heard it because her songs are not the happy kinda type. It's sadness, depression" Isaac informs
"Depression?" the adults ask shocked
Then Isaac just opens it, letting them hear it knowing Elia wouldn't be awake.
Elia was sitting playing the piano and then she started singing the first verse (it's easy on me from Adele guys! just pretend that this is Elia's singing and I cut 'baby' from in it to make it more like a singing perspective from kids to parents)
There ain't no gold in this river
That I've been washin' my hands in forever
I know there is hope in these waters
But I can't bring myself to swim
When I am drowning in this silence
let me in
Go easy on me,
I was still a child
Didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
I had no time to choose
What I chose to do
So go easy on me
There ain't no room for things to change
When we are both so deeply stuck in our ways
You can't deny how hard I have tried
I changed who I was to put you both first
But now I give up
Go easy on me,
I was still a child
Didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
Had no time to choose
What I chose to do
So go easy on me
I had good intentions
And the highest hopes
But I know right now
That probably doesn't even show
Go easy on me,
I was still a child
I didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
I had no time to choose
What I chose to do
So go easy on me
The song ended
And everyone has tears in their eyes. They know to whom this song intended too.
"The Drew's?" Andrea asks with tears rolled down her cheeks. This is the first time she heard this
"5 months ago. Elia was mentally and physically exhausted. She's in a dark place and that's the only thing she could do at the moment. It just came out just like that." Isaac replied.
"and honestly, she got better when she met with Lizzie. No more dark thought but it all breaks loose when the Drew's say some stuff till it makes her cut herself. She's never done anything physical, she could control it but that time she can't anymore. and that's the first and last, she ever did. and now, she has Lizzie and Seb in her life. It's all better for her even though you see that right now her life was somehow miserable, she didn't hear the bad thoughts anymore. It's really a huge step" Isaac added
The adults just stare at Isaac in disbelief. The news they just heard is really shocking to them.
"Why won't she tell me?" Lizzie asks whispering and voice wavering
"Lizzie, Lia's is different. She was scared that if you guys knew she had this bad thought, she'd lose you guys. No matter how many times you assured her you won't go anywhere. It's just in her nature. You guys are the happiness she's been looking for." Isaac replied
"Most of the clip that I showed to you guys, that is all from after you adopt Eliana. She is never this goofy, never this silly. But after you adopt her, she's all of that. she's finally happy" Isaac continued.
Everyone just smiles at that.
"I wanna watch every single of her cover right now" Scarlett said gesturing to all of the videos in the folder. Isaac just chuckles
"Be prepared to be stunned" Isaac replied smirking
-time jump-
They've watched 4 video song covers from Eliana and they couldn't stop staring at that little girl. They were absolutely stunned at her talent
"I loved lay me down" Mark Ruffalo said
"Me too! Especially when she hit the belt! My god she had lungs" Renner said in awed
"Well, mine was tears of gold. That definitely my top 1" Seb exclaimed
"I- I honestly can't choose" Lizzie said stunned at her daughter's singing skills
"Told you guys, you won't ready for it" Isaac replied chuckling and smirking at them
"How come you never posted it on the internet?" Mackie asks
"She doesn't want to. She doesn't like when people hear she's singing. She agrees if I sing with her" Isaac replied
The adults just nodded their heads. At this point, the kids have fallen asleep too and Elia still hasn't awakened from her sleep.
They let them have their naps.
