A couple days later, Mikey was in the kitchen baking a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. He even used peanut butter chocolate candies that spelled out "Happy 21st Birthday, Chloe" in the center of the cake.
When the cake was done, Mikey put the cake in a cake container. Then he put it in the fridge and left the kitchen.
Chloe was getting ready for her birthday party when Roger entered the room. The two of them wrapped their arms around each other and started kissing on the lips.
"Looking forward to revealing our surprise?" Roger asked.
"I believe they'll be surprised even though it's my birthday," Chloe replied.
"Possibly."
"We should get ready for the party so we're not late."
Roger nodded in agreement and he and Chloe finished getting ready. Then they left the room.
Grandma and Grandpa Calls were preparing Chloe's birthday present. When it was wrapped, they joined hands and kissed on the lips.
"Chloe will be so surprised," Grandma Calls said.
"This is something that will make a big difference in her life," Grandpa Calls said.
"Hopefully, she's ready for this."
"She's responsible so it shouldn't be a problem."
Grandma and Grandpa Calls kissed on the lips. Then they left the room with the present.
Chloe had just unwrapped her present from her grandparents. It was the deed to the house.
"You're giving Roger and I this house?" Chloe asked in amazement.
"Grandpa Calls and I are moving into a retirement home," Grandma Calls replied.
"It's only a few blocks from here and you and your friends are free to visit whenever you want," Grandpa Calls said.
"That's just as amazing as the news we have," Roger said.
"What's that?" Leo asked with curiosity.
"We're going to have a baby," Chloe announced, joining hands with Roger.
"We found out the other day when we went to the doctor," Roger said.
"That's amazing news," Donny said.
"We're happy for you," Raph said.
"I'm looking forward to having a baby in the house," Mikey said and his brothers nodded in agreement.
"We look forward to having a great-grandchild," Grandma Calls said.
"It'll be worth the wait," Grandpa said.
Mikey stepped out of the room and came back with the cake. He put it on the coffee table and lit the candles. After everyone sang "Happy Birthday", Chloe blew out the candles. Then she cut the cake and everyone got a piece.
An hour later, the party was over. Everyone cleaned up before going about their own activities.
