"Of course I do." He raised his eyebrows at his son. "You thinking about going into the business?" He knew that the boy could sing. And sing really well. "We'll talk about it after the party."
"Sure am," Jake grinned. Most definitely... after that teeny brush with fame that night he was definitely into it... at least for a little while. It was an awesome career... and not everyone had connections. So since Jake did he figured may as well give it a shot.

"Sure, I'll try and make it," Jake smiled. He knew he'd go and would definitely bring gifts. How could he not, after these?

Then she saw her Slytherin Prince, Salander, and waved a little awkwardly in his general direction. There were a few others she had seen around Hogwarts before...but it didn't look like anyone from her normal group of friends was present. Oh well, time to stand in the corner and play with one's hair nervously...
It was a new new person. Yup... and she looked like she wasn't doing the whole party thannnng. Jake smiled over at her and waved 'er on in.

"You like it?" It was obvious that he did. "I decided that since you onnly turn of-age once in your life and that I love you sooo much that you deserve a really good present. Just, whatever you do, don't tell Jack that the watch has diamonds and everything on it." That had expensive written all over it and she didn't want to have to sit through another lecture about how he wasn't the Minister and that they didn't have that kind of money yet.
When Jake mentioned that it had been a terrible year, she took another glance at Lawson and then looked back at Jake. "I'm sorry," she said once more. Leaving it at that, she changed the subject, "So Jake, since I got your attention right now. I wanted to ask you about the Christmas holidays. Do you think that you could spend a few days with Jack and I? I know I would love to have you and Jack, well, I'm sure he would love to see you." The Christmas Holidays were far from now but she wanted to make plans ahead of time.
"I love it... it's fantastic," Jake grinned, realising just how much it must have cost, and Reese wasn't exactly like at the top of her career ladder. Shiiiiiiiiny watch...
... whatever that ladder might be.
"I won't say anything to him."
SO COOL!
When Reese mentioned Christmas, Jake looked over at his dad. He wanted to spend the majority of the time with him, buuuuut...
"I can probably spare a few days at the beginning of the holidays, but I already made plans to go to my dad's for the holidays." He felt... a little bad.
"But yeah... at the beginning it sounds good."
He needed the time with his dad at christmas, since school was starting now and before then... well...

For now at least," Lexi said as she quirked an eyebrow at him and gave an evil grin. There were simply too many adults around to go hexing eachother. Even if Jakers was of age... Lawson and Mr. Wiggles over there might not appreciate it too much. She slipped an arm around him and smiled brightly. "It's cool. Ignore the wretched girls and have fun. You deserve it."

One thing most everyone knew about Reese was that she DID NOT want people being mean to her brother. Oh no. That was just asking for her true Slytherin side to show. She sucked in a good amount of air and slowly breathed it out while she tapped her show against the ground. Who was this girl anyway? She looked familiar but she just couldn't put a name with the face.
"Excuse me," she spoke. "Hey, I'm Reese Upstead. Jake's sister. Um, yeah, it's nice to meet you." NOT. "First of all, you don't need to comment about how many friends Jake has. Just in case you cannot count, there's a least 10 people here... and the party hasn't even begun yet. Second of all..." She should REALLY shut her mouth right now but... "You just need to back off of him, okay? Because obviously, you aren't cool enough to be Jake's sister or Marcus's daughter."
Right, now all that made her hungry. Did this party have any chocolate frogs?

There would never, ever be a peaceful day when these two were in the same room. He didn't need to see the look on Jake's face or to hear the dangerous tone in his voice.
"I'm on it." He said grabbing Marie by the arm but then Reese decided to throw her two sickles worth in and he sighed deeply. "I said I've got it. There is no need to jump all over each other. This is supposed to be a happy day." He looked between Jake, Reese and Marie before dragging the blond across the room.
It was going to be a long day, wasn't it?
Between Reese, Lexi and his dad, Jake figured he was pretty lucky. They all seemed to realise where his temper could lead and stepped up. The boy pulled Reese into a hug and lay his hand on Lexi's shoulder, both gestures of gratitude. When he pulled back he flashed an awkward smile to Lawson and breathed slightly.
"Thanks dad," he said sincerely, his voice with that tiny edge to it that made it clear that this was one of those times that Jake had told the man indicated he could make father of the year.
Even this year.
Time for happy happy. The girls could stay, and he would busy himself with happy party stuff.
"Let's have some fun, girls. Like Lexi said."
YUP.
