Stavanger Bay the girl the size of a gumdrop

She was too cute, sometimes. As of yet, Doe still appreciated this daughter much more than her other children. She had been there longer, and she did a lot more - and she was much more well-behaved.

"Try to warm them," she said patiently, wondering if she'd ever been so clueless as a child. Of course not, answered her sensible voice, you are not an imbecile. Luckily, she remembered not to speak these words aloud. "You just lie around them, and make sure none of them are too cold," she explained, moving to nudge each pup in turn a bit closer to her belly.
