ForgetfulFish: Haha, I glad you liked it! :)

It has been a few days since Dory was born. Jenny and Charlie has been busy taking care of her. She cried when she was hungry or tired. They was exhausted, but they still loved their daughter. After Jenny and Charlie ate lunch, Dory began to cry.

"Oh, sweetie, what's wrong?" Jenny asked, stroking her daughter.

Dory cried some more, crawling over to her mother. She couldn't swim yet, so she crawled.

"Maybe she's hungry," Charlie said, giving Dory some food.

Dory instantly pushed the food away when Charlie gave it to her.

"Maybe she's tired," Jenny said, picking up the newborn, placing her in her shell crib.

Dory got out of her crib and whined.

Jenny sighed. "Being a mother is harder than I thought."

"I know, honey, being a father is hard, too. But we have to take care of Dory as much as we can. She has a disability and it would never be cured," Charlie explained to his wife.

Jenny smiled. "You're right, Charlie."

Charlie smiled, then looked around and saw a shell. He swam over and picked it up. "I have an idea."

Charlie swam over to his crying daughter. "Hey, Dory, look what I found!" He showed the white shell to his daughter.

Dory calmed down. She smiled and giggled, stretching out her fins, wanting the shell.

Charlie gave Dory the shell. She giggled, playing with the shell.

"You did it, Charlie!" Jenny exclaimed.

"I knew I would."

Then, Dory looked down at the sand. She smiled, playing in the sand, forgetting about the shell.

Charlie frowned and sighed. He noticed her memory problem since Dory was born.

"Oh, Charlie," Jenny said, crying. "We can't leave her on her own, we just can't!"

Yesterday, other fish has been saying to leave Dory on her own since she can't remember anything.

"Jenny," Charlie said, lifting her chin up, "we'll never leave Dory on her own. Ignore what those other fish said. They obviously don't know what it's like to have a disabled child."

Jenny sniffed. She lied her head down on Charlie's chest. "You're right, we'll never leave Dory on her own. She needs all the care that she can get."

Charlie stroked his wife. He kissed her on the cheek.

Dory crawled to her parents. She yawned.

"Oh, it's nap time," Jenny said, picking her up and placing her in the shell crib.

"Have a nice nap my little one," Jenny said, kissing her newborn daughter.

Dory sleepily closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Jenny and Charlie smiled, watching their daughter sleep for a minute. Then they left, letting their daughter sleep.
