"What was that?"

she asks, looking down at you with concern as she touches your side but you attempt to defuse her suspicion nor wanting her to see the marks

"Dumplin, that wasnt nothing..."

she looks at you a little sternly with gentle eyes and tries to look at your side but ypu move away again seeming a little panicked

"Hey" she says sternly "I said let me see, let momma see" she gently pushes you back down onto the bed
