Chapter 26 TWINS PUBLIC APPEARANCE


    “Are my babies ready?”


    I smile at Ulie as I showed him the twins. Today is their dedication day in the Church and also their


    official appearance to the public (with media).


    “They are so beautiful.” Ulie utter as he gives the twins kisses.


    “Of course they are. We are their parents, it’s already given.” I confidently said to him.


    He chuckled. “Mommy is getting cocky here. But we can’t deny that she is correct. Right babies?”


    The twins giggle as if they understand what we told them.


    I can’t help myself but give those two lots of kisses.


    “Finally you guys are here!” Ka said as she went to us the moment our car arrived at the hotel


    parking space.


    The church venue is in the Laertes Hotel ballroom. The church is renting the said room for church


    service.


    “We are not yette Ka. Stop overreacting!” Ulie hissed at his sister.


    Ka pouted her lips. “I just miss the twins, brother. Let’s go inside already, everyone is waiting”


    She went to me to carry Amelia while I was carrying Alistair.


    Auntie Adel, Uncle Laertes, Luna, Jace, and Nick were already inside the church. I went to Ulie’s


    parents to pay them respect. Luna went to me and carry Alistair, then she went back to her seat


    beside Jace. While Nick is trying to carry Amelia from Ka, but knowing her, she will not give


    Amelia to him.


    Once Ka carries one of the twins, she will not let go of it. I only had a chance to hold my child


    from her when the baby is already hungry. Ka has no choice but to give the baby to me unless


    she can produce her own milk. The twins don’t like form milk.


    “Is the venue for the official public appearance of the twins ready?” Uncle Laertes asks Ulie.


    Ulie nodded. “Jace assure me that everything is ready in the grand ballroom.”


    “That’s good to hear because the ceremony will not take long.” Uncle Laertes responds.


    In a few minutes, the church service started. After the worship service, the pastor started the


    dedication ceremony.


    Baby dedication service dedicates the baby or babies to God and officially wees the baby to


    church. During the ceremony, the parents also dedicate themselves to raising a child as a Christian.


    The pastor invited us and our babies toe onstage.


    “It is my great joy to introduce you to these newest members of our church family. Alistair Kade


    Escarrer and Amelia Quinn Escarrer are the children of Ulysses Kade Escarrer and Penelope Quinn


    Cabello and were born March 14, 2021. These parents havee today to pledge themselves


    before God and this congregation to raise this child in a way that honors the LORD.” The pastor


    said.


    Then, the pastor started to ask us the parental affirmation to God.


    “Do you today recognize these children as the gifts of God and give heartfelt thanks for God’s


    blessing?”


    Ulie and I both answer. “We do.”


    The pastor ask four more parental affirmations and we both responded “We do.”


    In a shorter ceremony, the pastor read a biblical admonition about parenting.


    The pastorys hands on the twins and offers baby dedication prayer.


    “Alistair Kade Escarrer and Amelia Quinn Escarrer, together with your parents, who love you dearly,


    and these people who care about the oue of your faith, I dedicate you to God, surrendering


    together with them all worldly ims upon your life, in the hope that you will belong wholly to God


    forever.”


    We returned to our seats and the pastor proceeded to his preaching.


    When the service is finished, everyone went to the grand ballroom on the upper floor. While the


    direct family and friends went to the private room while waiting for the start of the event.


    We have a screen in the room where we see the things happening in the grand ballroom.


    Media were already there, I also saw Laertes and CIC directors and some managers, and of course


    our church mates.


    Jace and Luna were coordinating with the staff and the emcee.


    “Ellie, it’s the time!” Luna informed me.


    I nodded to her and told Ulie to get ready. Jace on the other hand informed Ulie’s family and Nick to


    get ready because the event will start now.


    We all went straight to the VIP table.


    The emcee did his opening spiels and then he proceed to introduce the Escarrer family.


    “I would like to thank every one of you here for giving us your precious time for our newest addition


    to the family. We are grateful when our son and Ellie told us the great news, that we were having


    grandchildren!” Uncle Laertes started his speech.


    “We can’t describe the happiness and gratefulness that we all felt when we finally saw the twins. We


    thank God for giving us this blessing. They are the joy and treasure of our family.”


    “We wanted everything to be perfect for them, but unexpected things happen because of the


    greediness of someone. We wanted their existence to the public to be special. But it came out


    differently or I should say maliciously, which our grandchildren don’t deserve.”


    “Now is the perfect time to introduce to you the joy and treasure of Escarrer and Cabello family! I


    like everyone to wee my grandchildren Alistair Kade Escarrer and Penelope Quinn Escarrer!”


    The crowd became loud as they wee my children. Nonstop shing of the camera started


    again when Uncle Laertes mentioned my children’s name.


    Ulie and I went to the stage together with the twins. We walk to the center to give them a better view


    of the twins.


    The emcee went to us and did some interviews with us, as the twins’ parents.


    We went back to the VIP table. The screw started to serve the food at every table while the


    programs continue.


    It was a tiring day. We talked to many people like the media, who keeps asking about my


    rtionship status with Ulie, Hadley Adelson was also asked by those people in the media.


    We also entertained the directors and managers in bothpanies.


    I am happy that finally, this event is already over. I just hope that through this event, the media will


    stop wasting their time on my family.


    “You want a massage?” Ulie offered after we put the twins in their crib.


    “You know how to do a massage?” I asked him.


    He smirks. “Of course.”


    “You sound confident. How many girls have you given your service?”


    Ulieughed aloud. “Oh Ellie, your jealousy is making me tter.”


    My eyes widen. “I’m not jealous. You are so full of yourself!”


    “You keep mentioning girls in our conversation. So what do you want me to think?”


    “I was just curious okay?! How can you be good in giving massage if you have no one to do it.” I


    said in my defense.


    “Fine. But just to inform you, my message is only exclusive to family members of Escarrer.” He said.

    I pouted my lips. “Then why did you offer me your massage service? I’m not an Escarrer.”


    “You are already an Escarrer, Ellie.” He said.


    “And you will officially be an Escarrer soon.” He added in a whisper.


    I did not hear hisst sentence clearly.
