The next day...
"Good morning!" Penny jogged down the stairs, catching Charles and Allison in the living area.
Her parents glanced at her instinctively, only to see that she seemed ready to start her day.
"You're leaving so early?" Allison asked with furrowed brows.
"Yes. Morning, Daddy!" Penny stood behind the couch where Charles was sitting, bent over to give him a quick back hug, and leaned her cheek against his.
Charles nonchalantly glanced at her, watching as she went to her mother and did the same. "Penny, isn't it too early for you to go? You came home late last night with your mom."
"Your daddy is right, Penny." Allison gazed up at her daughter worriedly. "Didn't you say you wouldn't have a lot of work for the first two weeks after your arrival?"
That was what Penny had thought... until she found out she was married.
