"Irulan?" Jacen laughed at the name and shook his head. Emily really had taken a liking to that character, and it was more than just because of the books or Jacen's suggestions to read them. There was something about Irulan that Emily related to in some way, and eventually, Jacen would figure it out. "Wow, she's really cute," he said, holding out his arms to lift her right out of Emily's.
Now, Jacen and Josie had never had pets. Their parents were stupid in that respect, because Jacen knew that having a pet would make things so much more bearable around the house. Sure, it was more responsibility, but pets generally brought a household a sense of peace, and Jacen never believed his household was very peaceful. "Hi Irulan," he said, holding her gently in his arms. "Come inside, Em," he said as he carried Irulan into the house.
