Blue was surprised when Pearl sat down beside, but thankful that the woman wasn't shying away from her completely. As she settled into her seat she took a few moments to think about the questions she was being asked, taking a deep breath she sighed “Jasper was the tougher child, stubborn right from the day she came home. We adopted Jasper when she was seven, she had already been bounced through a few homes. The last home she lived in had been unable to deal with her temper, well.. they didn't want to deal with it. They thought they could get the child out of the system without having to put in any real effort.”<br/><br/>Peridot came from the kitchen handing Blue a glass of red wine before moving to sit down in another chair “Keep going, I'm very curious about Jasper's history, she wont share any information even though I'm here lawyer in most matters” She explained as she worked on finishing her first beer.<br/><br/>“She was stubborn and wild, She wanted everything done on her terms and by her odd little rules. She hated going to school, she hated sharing and she hated anyone touching her stuff. I spent a lot of one on one time with her, the other girls got jealous but Yellow always took them on adventures and special treats to make up for it. We never wanted the girls to feel rejected or left out because we had a new girl in the house. I learned very quickly that Jasper never had her own things, anything she had she'd stolen from someone else. So the fact that we had given her things that were hers was mind blowing” Blue smiled as she thought about all the special moments she'd shared with Jasper.<br/><br/>“She was only three feet tall when she came to live with us, nothing but skin and bones. So I made sure she always had access to food, that she could eat when ever she wanted. But it was always healthy snacks and very limited junk food. Around age ten she took off, in on year it felt like she grew two feet and just didn't stop.. “ her eyes lighting up as she moved to the book shelf, looking through the albums, soon pulling out a silver album that had Jasper's name written on it in fancy cursive lettering.<br/><br/>Sitting down she set the book down in Pearl's lap and opened it, it was full of photos of a young Jasper. “This was taken within the first week of her coming” in the picture Jasper looked angry, looked like she was ready to take on anyone in front of her without trying. Flipping a couple pages showed a ten year old Jasper standing over five feet tall, her body with ample weight gain looking much healthier. Her eyes still holding the dark angry look.<br/><br/>“She was very angry at the world, she had the standard demons an adoptive child has. “Why me, why didn't they want me, why didn't they love me' Jasper just never let it go, to the point that at twelve she was getting into so much trouble I was at my wits end. An well.. “ Blue stopped as she looked down at her hands and then at Pearl “It's not my place t tell you that part of Jasper's life. She will tell you one day, an it should be her who tells you. Because from thirteen till she was pregnant with Mala I didn't know what was really going on with her. I knew she was going to school and she was doing well in her classes, an she was being an amazing athlete, she fell in love with strength training around fourteen, she was tired of being a tall string bean. What did she say.. oh, that she wanted to be the one true lesbian beef cake that all the girls wanted. “ Blue chuckled as she flipped through the book, showing Jasper growing and gaining of the years. The book stopped at the age of fifteen, Jasper standing her full seven feet tall but only a third of her bulky size.<br/><br/>“When I finally got her to open up to me, she attached to me instantly. When she realized that no matter how angry she got, how wild she acted or what she did, when it finally clicked that she was in a stable reliable home she started to calm down, she started to be a child. She started to join in on family events, family meals and everything else. But she was my baby girl, when ever she did something bad or something wrong she always told me, she was always honest with me” It hurt when her child had disconnected from her, hen Jasper had taken several steps back and started acting out again.<br/><br/>“Eye contact, if you look directly into Jasper's eyes and don't break eye contact it breaks her thought pattern and brings her back. Something about the eye contact just brings her back from where ever her anger has taken her, specially when it's someone important. People who do it who know nothing about her only trigger it more though, if you ever find yourself having to bring her back just remember she will never hurt someone she loves, she had never hurt someone she cares about” she explained as she looked at Saph “Do you know which book is the pregnancy album? I know Jasp tends to keep that on hidden from me cause I gush over it so often”<br/><br/>When Yellow came to sit all Blue could do was smile, glad that her wife was opening up to Pearl, something she didn't expect the woman to do during their first visit. “Give yourself credit love, you're the reason that all out child have strong wills and thick skulls. They all just got good business sense from me though” Blue teased as she heard the door opening to see Jasper walk in with the bags, Ruby following behind to drop of the bags.<br/><br/>When Jasper returned she stared at the photo album and then at her mothers cocking an eyebrow as she moved into the kitchen to help lift the turkey out of the sink moving it to the counter for Peridot to work on. “I was gone for all of ten minutes and they already busted out the albums” She teased as she watched Peridot start making the stuffing, having t make three large bowls of it to stuff the giant bird.<br/><br/>“Let me guess mom, you were showing her the pregnant book” Jasper smirked, the book was hidden under her bed, some where no one could find it unless they were truly snoopy about it. Blue puffed out her cheeks in annoyance “You know very well it's no that book, you've hidden it again because you hate people seeing it” She pouted as she crossed her arms over her chest, soon flopping into Yellow's side snuggling into her wifes body.<br/><br/>Peridot smiled as she looked at Pearl “You wanna focus on the side dishes while I tackle stuffing this giant bird?” Peri was smiling as she directed Jasper to hold the bird up, scooping the stuffing in, making sure to add some spicies to make the bird perfect. Jasper just stood here looking at Pearl giving the woman a seductive smile, her previous conversation with Ruby pushed to the back of her mind. She would tell Pearl the truth, just after the holidays passed so Pearl wouldn't worry about money.<br/><br/>In truth Jasper had already asked Peridot to do some digging for her, to find out every ounce of Pearl's debt and then pay it. Jasper had given Peridot access to bank account to deal with the debt, Jasper was rich she knew sh was rich. But in her mind it was dirty money, it was money that Lapis had been forced to pay because Mala was her child, Lapis had gotten Jasper pregnant at fifteen and then vanished leaving Jasper to deal with the mess, Jasper had dropped out of school and focused on raising her kid. Blue had appeared out of no where when Amethyst explaining that Jasper had finally come home. Blue had never been so relieved in her life that her little girl had come home, the fact that Jasper was pregnant had been a moment of worry and joy, it was another grand baby to had to the growing family.
