Yes, credit was due where it was due. His little gremlins (his term of endearment for them) really did pull things off without any of the secrets being leaked. As he passed by them to sneak off to the kitchen, he couldn't help but notice, even with all of the hugging and loud chattering going on, just how quickly they were growing up.
The cake was exactly where it had been left, and the man was pleased to see that none of it had been sampled. Hearing familiar music coming from the room that really was taking him on a trip down memory lane, Frankie gave his wand a wave and watched as a number of candles appeared and placed themselves onto the cake. Merlin, he thought as he counted each one -- all 36 of them. Was that how many you had to put on my cake earlier this year, Hads? They were getting old.
With another wave of his wand, the candles lit themselves and the tiger lily-shaped cake levitated off the table. It and some plates and forks followed him as he opened the door to the other room. "Hurry and blow these things out, Hads! This is definitely a fire hazard," he joked, a cheeky grin on his face.
Logan had choice words for Nova in the response to the comment she had made. But, being their mum's birthday, he forced himself to not say them, at least not right now. Instead, he settled for narrowing his eyes and glaring at her for a few seconds. But a grin did appear on his face when his mum acknowledged his secret-keeping abilities and called him Wolverine. "It was. And I hung up all of the streamers."
His attention shifted immediately when Melody started up the playlist she had put together, knowing instantly that this was one of the sings his mum had played with her band years ago. He was a bit surprised that she hadn't started playing the songs she had been practicing lately. "Lemme know when you're going to play," he whispered to her. Whether she wanted him to or not, he was going to accompany her on the drums. He too had been practicing. Sort of.
But first, there would be cake! The instant their dad had opened the door and revealed the candle-lit cake, Logan bolted for the kitchen and started loudly singing the birthday song. "HAAAAAAAAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOOOOOOU!"
