Violet smiled at me and took a reassuring breath. “Alright, let’s do this,” she said.

“Good morning, Daddy!” Penny said, bounding over to me when we got downstairs to the kitchen. “Can I have some cereal?”

I poured her a bowl of her favorite and made coffee for Violet and myself. We all sat together, and Violet and I exchanged a glance.

“Penny, Violet and I wanted to have a special day today,” I began. “We can do whatever you want to do. The sky’s the limit.”

“It’s not my birthday,” she said, confused. “What’s so special about today?”

“Because you’re the most special little girl we know, and we want to spoil you silly,” Violet said, pinching Penny’s cheek.

Penny giggled at the playfulness but shook her head. “I don’t need anything, though. I just want to be with you guys.”

“And that is why you deserve the world,” I told her. “How about we just start with a trip to the park?”

“I love the park!” Penny said.

“We know,” Violet said with a laugh. “Come on, kiddo, hurry up with your cereal, and then we can get your shoes on!”

Penny ran and played enthusiastically at the park, swinging from the monkey bars and careening down the slides for hours. When she was finally all done playing, Violet suggested a stop at the ice cream store.

“Before lunch?” Penny questioned, giving me a side-eye.

“Why not?” I asked. “It’s Penny Day, and my baby likes ice cream.”

The three of us linked hands and walked to the ice cream store, pleased with ourselves for focusing on our time together as a family.

“What kind would you like, Pen?” Violet asked, looking at the selections behind the counter.

“I can’t decide,” Penny said. “Either chocolate, birthday cake, or cotton candy. What do you think, Daddy?”

“Excuse me,” I said to the man working the register. “Can I please get a scoop each of chocolate, birthday cake, and cotton candy in a dish? And then a small chocolate chip cookie dough and a—”

I paused, looking to Violet for her order.

“Small raspberry cheesecake, please,” she said.

The man dished up our order, and I paid him before we went to sit at a table outside.

“Don’t you usually get mint?” I asked Violet as we sat down.

“Yeah. I just had a craving for this, I guess,” she replied with a smile.

Penny only ate half of her ice cream before declaring that she was done and offering the rest to Violet and me.

“Let’s go get some real food,” Violet said.

“Penny, where would you like to go?” I asked.

Of course, Penny chose to eat at the diner. Somehow, she managed to eat an entire basket of fries and a few bites of chicken on top of the ice cream she’d consumed earlier.

Violet and I sipped on our coffee while we chatted with Penny, making sure she received all our attention. I had assured my mate that bringing a new baby into our lives wouldn’t change things for Penelope, but we both knew that wasn’t entirely true. It was vital to both of us that she would have only happy memories about the day she found out she was going to be a big sister.

When lunch was over, we had even more plans for spoiling my princess.

“We aren’t going home?” Penny asked.

“Only if you want to, but I thought we could go to the bookstore so you could pick out a few new ones,” I told her.
