Penelope had spent the whole morning while TJ had been in classes baking and cooking. She'd had to pause to feed Melody, put her down for a nap, play times, but eventually there was a counter full of sweets. Cookies he could take with him to his dorm, and a large cake with a guitar on top.
There were two large boxes wrapped up in the living room, perfectly wrapped with bows. There were a few other gifts wrapped up as well, likely from Fay.
Penelope also had his birthday dinner sitting on the counter. She hadn't actually made it, it was the one thing she couldn't make, but she'd helped Ellis put it together, so it counted. It was a tiered pizza cake. Several pizzas stacked on top of one another. It was so unhealthy it screamed TJ.
Which was why a bowl of salad sat next to it. To try and offset the clogged arteries.
She'd also helped instruct Ellis where to hang a couple balloons, and one happy birthday banner. Yes TJ was 20, but he was her little baby boy. Little baby man. Whatever.
