As usual I was not clever enough to invent these characters and own nothing but my twisted mind.

Chapter Five. Welcome Daisy.

Emmett's POV

I ran straight into the kitchen, where Esme was already preparing Daisy's food. I guess she heard me coming. "I've found her name, Esme." She looked puzzled. "Well, I sort of found it, I found a daisy anyway, and that's it: Daisy. Now I've got a Rose and a Daisy."

"That's a pretty name, Emmett," Esme said thoughtfully. "Yes, I like it."

As we fed and watered Daisy, my brothers hurtled in. "Jasper, Edward, meet Daisy."

"Hi, Daisy," they chorused.

"It suits her. You should come for a run with us tomorrow, Emmett," Edward suggested.

"Maybe I will. Where are the others?" I enquired.

"Bella's with Carlisle in his study listening to more of his stories," Edward said. "Come on up with me and rescue Carlisle."

"You go ahead, Edward. I'll be up as soon as Daisy's finished." As Edward left, Jasper caught my eye.

"Do you mind if I tell Alice?" It wasn't often Jasper could tell Alice anything she didn't already know; it would make a nice change.

I crossed my fingers that Alice hadn't heard me talking. "Nah, go for it, bro."

"Come and find us after you see Bella; we've got something to show you," Jasper informed me.

So Esme and I finished taking care of Daisy, then I took her up to Carlisle's study. "Carlisle, Bella, this is Daisy."

"Welcome to the family, Daisy," exclaimed Carlisle.

Bella put her hands on her hips. "Emmett, is anyone else going to get a cuddle?"

"Sure, Bella, come here, little sis." I held my arm out, ready to give her a big squeeze.

"Not you, you big oaf! Let me cuddle Daisy." Bella held her arms out to take Daisy.

"Oh, er…sure." I held Daisy out to pass her to Bella, and she started to make a strange squeaky noise, which nearly made me drop her. "Maybe not just now, she's still a little unsure."

"You can't hold her twenty-four hours a day, son," Carlisle pointed out. "Let Bella have her while you get yourself a shirt."

"Yes, Emmett, you really should keep those muscles covered; they're quite obscene."

"That good eh, Bella? Here. Back in a sec." I handed Daisy carefully to Bella and raced to my room, the one I shared with Rose, grabbed a t-shirt and raced back, pulling it on as I stepped into the study. The whole time, all five or six seconds, Daisy had been kinda squeaking, which ceased as soon as I took her back from Bella. "We have to go and see Alice and Jasper now," I said, getting out of there before Bella's mouth caught up with the indignant look on her face. I heard Edward laughing, as I followed Alice's voice to a small room.

"Daisy's room!" Alice sang out as I entered. "I've put all her things in these drawers, try her in the bed Em."

The bed, of course, was pink and had a golden brown stuffed bear sitting in it. I placed her in the bed and she seemed quite calm, although her eyes followed me cautiously. "How much, Jasper?" I asked, wondering to what extent he was influencing Daisy.

"Not much, but I don't think you should leave the room," he answered.

"I wasn't going to." I stated sitting next to the bed and stroking her hair. Eventually she drifted off to sleep like she had in the forest.

Rosalie's POV

I had been searching through my underwear, trying on lingerie in every colour of the rainbow. I happened to be wearing a dark red plunging bra and matching knickers, which sat on my hips and dipped down in a deep V echoing the bra, when Emmett came flying in and grabbed a t-shirt. I turned to face him, giving him a sultry pout and come-to-bed eyes, and he was gone! I couldn't believe it; I don't think he even saw me! I kind of felt like he'd slapped me. I stood there, not knowing what to think or what to do, when a gentle tap sounded on the door.

"Rosalie, may I come in?"

I let out the breath I hadn't realised I was holding. "Yes, Esme."

"Come on, Rose," she said, walking toward me, hands outstretched.

I thought for a moment she was going to hug me, but Esme knew me better than that. Taking my hand, she led me to the chair in front of my mirror and sat me down.

"Never mind Emmett, Rose. Give him a little time." Esme picked up a brush and began slowly brushing my hair while brushing away my anger.

Jasper's POV

This was much easier than last night. I hadn't known if I would be able to help, but it had been easy to pick up on Daisy's feelings as they were very basic and uncomplicated; they just changed so quickly, maybe because her attention span was short. Now that she was asleep I could relax, but I was going to stay with Emmett again tonight. I'm fascinated with the bond he has with her, it seems on some level to be similar to my gift, I'm pretty sure she would feel it if he left the room.

Once Alice got bored with all the new things and went off in search of Edward and Bella, we had a very peaceful night. Just the one time Daisy appeared to be having a bad dream, and another getting her up for the toilet. Emmett never left her side, and the family all stayed away. As soon as the sun came up Daisy sat up, looked over at Emmett, and tried to get into his lap. "She's hungry," I said, and Emmett took her off to the kitchen. I stood up, stretching, and went in search of Alice.

AN. Okay, so there are lots of you reading, but only four lovely ladies reviewing (take a bow lovely ladies, I applaud you! You know who you are.), so come on the rest of you, how hard can it be to write three words - "I love it", "I hate it", "nice idea there", "why do that?"
