The rest of the day went smoothly with Aaron and Penelope taking Jack to the Park. They chased Jack around in the grass, played hide and seek and just had a good time, not knowing that in a dark blue van across the street a man was taking pictures.

"Nice, very nice. Boss wil be very pleased with these" The man smiled before driving away.

The smiley family at the park started packing up their things. They grabbed their things and put them in the back of Aaron's car.

They drove to Aarons house and Penelope started making dinner. She didn't have to make lunch because they had a picnic at the park. She had to start early because she was making pasta from a homemade recipe she got from her mother when she was younger, a fresh salad and for dessert a chocolate cake.

While Penelope was in the kitchen Aaron was playing with Jack in the living room. Jack and Aaron were on the floor playing with cars. Jack was playing with a red one and Aaron a blue one.

"What do you think of Penny, Jack?" Aaron asked sitting up. Jack looked up at him and smiled, "I wike her awot. She makes weally good cake." Jack said. Aaron laughed, "She does make really good cake. I heard her say something about making a cake for dessert tonight"

"Weally?" Jack asked, jumping up and Aaron smiled. "Really. I think she said that it would be chocolate, your favorite" Aaron said.

"YAYYYY" Jack shouted, jumping up and down before he ran into the kitchen. Jack ran up behind Penelope and wrapped his little arms around her legs.

"Oof. Hey Jack, what are you up to buddy?" Penelope asked when she felt Jack. "Nuffin, me just wike you awot" Jack replied.

"I like you a lot too Jack" Penelope said with a smile. "Daddy said you was making cake" Jack exclaimed and Penelope giggled. "He's right Jackers, I am making a chocolate cake for dessert" Penelope said.

"When it's done would you like to help me frost it?" Penelope asked the child. Jack quickly nodded his head before running back into the living room to continue playing cars with his father.

Hours later Penelope had finished making dinner. Penelope had Aaron set the table while she got the dishes out.

Once the table was set she helped Jack into the seat next to hers. Aaron had taken a seat at the same time Penelope left the room to get the food.

She came back and set the food on the table. She helped Jack with his plate while Aaron fixed his own. Once Penelope finished she put food on her own plate.

They all ate their dinner with minimal conversation but not total silence. They finished dinner and Penelope put the dishes in the sink to be washed later.

Since it wasn't so late they all went into the living room to watch a movie. Penelope sat down on the couch next Aaron. Jack hopped onto the couch causing Penelope to smile and scooch down.

An hour later and the movie was coming to an end. Jack was asleep because he had fallen asleep halfway through. Penelope picked him up and brought him to his room.

She set him down on the bed and tucked him in, underneath his rocket ship blankets. She kissed him on the forehead then turned off the lights and left the room.

She made her way to the room she and Aaron shared. She got undressed and put on her night shirt before getting in bed with Aaron.
