Jacob plotted on the way home, all sorts of half-baked ideas sprung up in his head but none of them were usable.  Well, none of which that wouldn't end in tears.  Finally he set on a perfect plan.  He made a list of supplies he was going to need to it out.  The stuff would be acquirable next time they went to the supermarket.  Jacob grinned when the cake arrived, partially out of anticipation of the cake and also because he couldn't wait to see what Mike's response would be.<br/><br/>Jacob ate the cake and nodded when Ashley spoke.  That wasn't a bad proposition and he could use the time to finish some more writing.  After he was finished he helped with taking the dishes and cups back to the kitchen before he headed back to his room.  He spared a look to the study where Mom and Dad were with their new sister.  Jacob wondered what they were talking about and he wished he could be a fly on the wall for that conversation.  He headed to his room and turned on his computer and waited for it boot up before he could continue his work.
