Much as I would like to take them home, I still don't own these guys.

Chapter Seven. Oh Rosalie.

Esme's POV

Poor Rosalie, she wasn't used to sharing Emmett's attention. I hoped that little tantrum had made her feel better, though I doubted it. I found Bella sitting in the garden, waiting for the men to return. "They won't be back 'til daylight, Bella. Why don't we go and finish Rosalie's hair or watch a movie with her?"

So that was where we were, watching The Devil Wears Prada, when Edward swept into the room and swung Bella into his arms.

"Show me how much you missed me," he laughed.

"She can show you in your own room," I said, ushering them out the door as Rose's frown deepened. I made sure she was immersed in the movie again before slipping out. I went to find Carlisle, as I knew he would leave for the hospital soon, expecting Alice and Jasper to be with him.

"They went off on a little excursion," he told me with a wink.

"Oh bother, I want to get Rosalie out of the house for a bit, and hoped at least Alice would get her to come shopping." I'd just have to see if Bella and I could tempt her out.

Emmett's POV

Daisy had slept deeply, if not exactly peacefully, for the rest of the night; I think she was dreaming. Like the first morning, she had woken with the daylight, and we were in the kitchen when Carlisle came to check on her.

"She's doing well, Emmett. I'm just going to shower and I'll be off to work. See you tonight."

I ran upstairs to see Rose; she was in our room flicking through some glossy magazines. "Hey, Rose, you haven't been properly introduced to Daisy yet, have you?"

"Nor have I the need to be, Emmett. Who gave her a name anyway?"

"That was me, Rose, kind of in honor of you. See, you're my beautiful Rose and she's my little Daisy, isn't that neat?"

I was prepared for any number of reactions, but not the raucous laughter, when Rose almost snorted, "in my honor you named her after a weed! That's rich even for you, Emmett! Now do you mind removing her from this room, I get enough of her scent in the rest of the house?" Rose gestured blindly for us to leave as she concentrated on her magazines.

As I left the room, I knew there was real hurt beneath Rose's bitterness, and I thought I'd get Jasper to calm Daisy for a while, and slip back to give Rose one of my massages. Trouble was, Jasper and Alice hadn't come home.

Bella's POV

I'd spent as much time as I cared to with Rosalie last night, and now Esme was asking me to go shopping with them. I knew I would do it for Esme, but I wasn't even sure Rosalie would agree to come. I could see she was jealous of the time Emmett was spending with Daisy, but it had only been two days. Esme and I had a plan: we appealed to Rose's vanity.

"Please, Rosalie. I really need shoes and a bag to go with the electric blue dress Edward bought me, and you know how hopeless I am. Nobody can hunt down matching accessories like you, Rose." It actually worked, so I grabbed the electric blue dress and we bundled Rose into the car before she changed her mind.

Edward's POV

As Bella and Esme left our room to take Rosalie shopping, Emmett was on his way in.

"Where are they off to in such a hurry?"

"To persuade Rosalie to go shopping."

"I hope she goes, she's pretty down at the moment, and I can't do anything about it until Jasper gets back."

"Yes, I was going to have a word with you about that. I have rarely known Rosalie so upset, apparently you haven't even glanced her way since you found Daisy." Unexpectedly, Bella pushed past Emmett, grabbed something from the closet, and ran back out with a backward wave.

"I know, that's why I was looking for Jasper; he's the only one who can keep Daisy from stressing if I'm not there."

"Well, the girls have gone so we have the house to ourselves. I'm going to play some piano; you're welcome to come and listen." Emmett followed me to the piano and settled into a couch with Daisy on his knee. Before I finished the first piece, Daisy was fast asleep.

AN. Sorry this was even shorter than usual. The next chapter is quite short too, so as a thank you to the incredible people reviewing, I may post it early. How much do you want it?
