Chapter 3

We walked inside the bright house and all the Cullens were sitting in the room on the couches, chairs, and the floor watching us. Petal was in my hand as I slowly walked towards them cautious of what they might do. Edward was next to my side protectively hovering me as he was watching their reactions and reading their minds. Jasper silently got up and left the room. The scent must have gotten too strong for him.

Alice bounded up to my side and was smiling like always. She stroked the kitten's head and Petal started to purr. She looked at me and I nodded my head as Alice took her away from my arms and walked closer to the rest of the family. Carlisle was the first to come and greet Petal and he softly cooed. Esme came up from behind Carlisle and immediately fell in love, as she was a lover.

"She is very nice Bella. Welcome to the family Petal," Esme said and I looked at her smiling, but reacting, Emmett stood up and walked over to meet the cat to see if Petal would be allowed as part of the family.

"She is nice, but what about poor Jasper? We couldn't put him in misery like this forever. It's his instinct to hunt animals," Emmett was trying to be supportive as he watched Rosalie gently stroke the kitten's delicate head smiling and looking at Petal as if it was her own child. I knew Emmett would do whatever Rosalie wanted, and if Rosalie wanted Petal since she can't have a child, he would let her, but Jasper would be in misery by this.

As if he was called into the room, Jasper walked in. I looked up at him as he took his last breath and walked over to the rest of the family. Edward was still close to my side and Alice on my left side as she held onto Petal. Edward was staring intently on Jasper, but Jasper never looked at him. He was concentrating on Petal trying to get a hold of his self-control.

Edward growled to himself, almost too low for me to hear, and I knew that Jasper was thinking about what Petal would taste like. I looked at Jasper and my eyes never left him. Jasper walked up to Alice and she gazed into his eyes as he stared back. She nodded her head once understanding that he wanted to pet her. He gently laid his hand against her back and slowly moved his cold fingers along her back until he reached her tail.

Jasper held a hand full of fur since Petal was shedding and he very carefully sniffed it, inhaling her scent. His eyes started to grow darker, but soon were growing bronze again. I knew he had enough control over himself, but sometimes he would listen to his instinct, but he knew better. He once again stroked her back and her head and Petal squeaked a high pitch meow and everyone laughed, as it was a pathetic try of a meow.

Jasper's eyes softened and Alice smiled. Edward leaned over and whispered in my ear, "Alice just saw a vision of Jasper holding Petal in his lap. It's a good sign so far." I looked over at his softened bronze eyes and smiled. It was turning out good so far and everyone seemed to like Petal. I would have to thank Mike the next time I saw him for showing me Petal.

"May I?" I heard Jasper's calm voice and watched as Alice handed him Petal. She tried her pathetic meow again and he laughed. He cradled her in his arms and was smiling the biggest smile I have ever seen. She was purring as his hand glided across her back without a sudden fast movement. Each time his hand went back to her head, her eyes closed into slits and her purr grew louder. Jasper was the happiest I have ever seen him besides when Alice tells the story of how they meet. His eyes were like a father when he first sees his child. I didn't think I would ever see Jasper like this, especially with a cat.

"Welcome to the family Petal. Bella, can she stay here?" Jasper asked me. I looked over at Edward to see if that was a good idea and he nodded his head reassuring me.

"I don't think Charlie would be too pleased if I brought a cat home so of course you can Jasper, if it's alright with everyone else." I looked around the room and they nodded their heads in agreement.

"Before we decide, what does she eat?" Rosalie looked at me as if I was the cat expert. I knew, of course, that pure blood wasn't an option for her, but maybe they could try bringing the meat of what they killed home.

"Try cooking whatever you catch after you dine on the animal. She is a carnivore after all," I looked at Petal and saw her green eyes sparkle as Jasper was petting her. Petal was a special cat, I knew instantly after watching Jasper take on to her so quick, but I didn't know how special she was, or why. All I knew was that there was something special that was going to happen to her, and I was intent on finding out what that something will be.
