Love, Marriage, and a Baby Carriage<\/em> (2016) C.S. Poe<\/a><\/p>\n

\"MarriageUtterly ridiculous.<\/p>\n

I was attending a singles\u2019 convention for special people like me to find their forever penguin partner. But after I paid the attendance fee, got a hotel room, and booked my flight, I found out it was specifically for guys and gals<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Utterly silly.<\/p>\n

But no, there I was with my little trash baby.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Utterly marvelous.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d unbuttoned my shirt halfway before turning back to the egg. It was just sitting there. Obviously it couldn\u2019t see anything, but it felt weird. Two\u2019s a party; three\u2019s a crowd. I carefully turned the egg in its robe nest. <\/p>\n

That didn\u2019t do much. <\/p>\n

\u201cIs this the front or back?\u201d I mumbled absently. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s upside down,\u201d Wesley said. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhat?\u201d I yelped, adjusting the egg again. After a beat, I just covered it completely with the robe. \u201cThere.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Why aren’t there more stories about penguin shifters?<\/p>\n
