Pearl focused intently as her youngest started to learn to walk properly, stumbling forward to her but recovering once he got closer. He kissed her cheek, a heartwarming little gesture that would put her in a great mood for the better part of the day.

She gently scooped him closer to her chest with her paw, nuzzling him against her. What a precious baby.
