I am glad I got a chapter out before the holiday. I hope to get another chapter out before the holiday but I can't make any promises. I will update soon.

Jasper sat and stared at Bella with a horrified expression. Edward and Alice gave Jasper smug glances as he sat and tried to come up with something intelligent to say. Emmett stared at the floor and Rosalie looked to be almost as angry as she was embarrassed.
"Well, what does it mean? Is Rosalie a kitten?" Bella asked, staring at him with eyes of innocence.
"Well, umm, you see Rosalie wants to be a cat so much that she pretends to a kitten. But, she doesn't let anyone see this side of her, so don't bother asking," Jasper stammered, staring at the ceiling, trying to avoid eye contact with his little sister.
I looked over at my oldest daughter and found that she was glaring at Jasper.
"Yeah, and when we go hunting tonight, I'm going to play pretend with my claws!" she growled stalking out of the room. Emmett followed her with a weird expression on his face.
"You're both grounded for losing Bella," I called after them. I could hear them arguing even after they slammed their bedroom door shut.
Alice left to go hunting with Jasper, leaving Edward and Bella sitting on the sofa.

I knew Jasper wasn't telling the truth, but I also knew I wasn't going to get the truth, so I didn't bother trying to make him get confessional. After Jasper and Alice left I stared at Edward.
"You don't believe what he said, do you?" he said, already knowing the answer. I smiled and nodded.
"But, I know that's all I'm going to get, so I have to deal with it," I said, grabbing a chink of his hair and staring at his roots.
"That's really mature, what are you doing?" he asked, not bothering to move my hands away from his head. A small grin was starting to make it's way across his face.
"I'm looking at your roots," I said moving one chunk of hair when I didn't see what I was looking for.
"Why?"
"Rosalie said you die your hair and that your roots aren't even but I wasn't sure what that meant, so I was hoping I would see it when I looked," I said, as I moved through his hair at vampire speed.
"Ow, Bella, be careful," Edward said pulling my hands out of his hair and scooping me up into his arms.
"Can you teach me to play the piano?" I asked, watching as his expression changed. I was the only person who could surprise him because he couldn't read my mind.
"Yeah, sure," he said carrying me over to the piano.
A couple hours later, I came to a realization that I liked playing the piano with Edward. I wasn't as good as him but I didn't sound like I was playing with mittens either, so that must be a good sign. I was in the middle of clumsily playing Twinkle Twinkle when I noticed Carlisle and Esme standing in the kitchen doorway, watching us with a weird expression.
"Look, Edward is teaching me how to play the piano!" I said running into Carlisle's arms. He tossed me into the air and tickled me.
"I see, are you having fun?" he asked, as he fixed my hair band.
I was about to answer when Alice walked into the room. Something about her expression seemed wrong. She looked like something was wrong but she was trying to hide it. Edward stiffened and stared at her with an almost angry expression. Then his face became worried as her turned to look at me.
Carlisle set me down on the sofa and walked over to Alice.
"Alice, what's wrong?" Esme asked, also rushing to her side. "Did you have a vision? Is something wrong with Jasper?"
Alice shook her head and with a terrified expression she said, "Someone is coming for Bella. They are coming right now."
Cliff hanger...
