The following quotation is from The Fiery Cross by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2001. All rights reserved. Chapter 89. The Moons of Jupiter



Experience had been a hard teacher, but the urgings of the flesh were louder than the voice of reason. He put out a stealthy hand and gently grasped the buttock nearest. It was cool and smooth and round as a gourd.



She made a small noise deep in her throat and stretched luxuriously. She arched her back, pushing he backside up in a way that convinced Roger that the course of wisdom was to fling back the quilt, roll on top of her, and achieve his goal in the ten seconds flat it was likely to take.



He got as far as flinging back the quilt. As he raised his head from the pillow, a round, pale object rose slowly into view over the rim of the cradle, like one of the moons of Jupiter. A pair of blue eyes regarded him with clinical dispassion.

[> I love this one!!! I have a 42 1/2 year old picture of my daughter doing exactly that. Lol. We had made a cradle out of pine boards so you didn’t really see her until that sweet, bald head with the big, blue, wise eyes slowly rose over the edge. It makes me laugh every time I read this. Back to Outlander, Roger and Bri struggle with so many things, I’m glad we’re to the point where they “get” each other better and actually have some fun. -- Kathy in PA, Sun, July 24 2022, 9:32:41

[> This happened to DH and me when our DS was little. We were staying in a nice B&B for a weekend and had a lovely 4 poster bed. We set up DS's porta-crib at the foot. Early the first morning, DH and I thought we might have a quick and silent "mmph" before the little guy woke up. But before things got interesting, a little blonde head popped up, blue eyes peering over the footboard. He then ducked down, grabbed his bear, and grinning, waved it happily, as if to say, "Look, Snuggle, Mom and Dad are RIGHT THERE! How great is THIS???" Of course, boy and bear joined us in the big comfy bed, no shenanigans for us. -- DianaH, Wed, July 27 2022, 8:39:42
