While the newcomers scrambled to make announcements (soon barraging everyone’s screens), the twins’ baby walkers finally arrived! It was why only Ansel—who was now watching people making announcements—was the only one who actually went to check on Micheal’s ’surprise’.
The Baby Walkers were still important. People could just find them in their villa if they knew them.
Anyway, the family went to check the new arrivals together with various expectations. Garan and Althea each carried a child in their arms, with Bianca and a few others from the Woodworker team there to explain its mechanics.
When they revealed the walking tools, the babies laughed in glee. Anything new and colorful was fun to them at this point.
Speaking of the babies, they were now wearing simple unicolor onesies, with Pepper wearing a light blue one and Meatball with a red one. The couple happily showed the babies their new toys.
They were lovely intricately carved walkers with differing patterns and colors, making them pop—to make sure the babies were always visible—while being pleasing to the eyes at the same time.
Interestingly, it was also obvious which walker was whose. For example, Little Pepper’s had more cutesy curvy motifs, while Meatball’s had more straight lines engraved onto it.
The couple approached and kneeled down, placing the two kids on the floor so they could look at their toys more intimately. "Look, your new walkers!"
The couple let them touch the walkers, and they played with the toys and the attachments. For now, they seemed fascinated.
"Mwamhammma…"
"Gogmammm..."
Seeing them so cute as always—and seeming to love their new toys—Bianca had hearts in her eyes. However, she remained professional as she explained the functions of the tool to the family.
"These," Bianca said, a hand on each tool, eyes staring at the cute babies. "...are custom-made walkers we made just for you."
Her voice was soft and higher-pitched as she talked to the children, whose innocent round eyes were fixed on her.
Ah, too cute!
"It’s designed so you can learn to walk and explore more of this world on your own."
Their seats were made of flexible cloth that would bounce along with their movements. There were also a lot of toys and puzzles built-in and would keep them entertained for hours at a time.
"In front are compartments where you can keep your favorite toys, see?" She said, opening a compartment at the back with cute wooden toys inside. This seemed to have excited the babies and they jumped in place while their parents held them upright.
"Mwamwaaaahhh"
"Googhmmaamma!"
Milky giggles abounded and the adults placed the babies on their seats to test it out.
The children’s feet—now wearing tiny cloth shoes, by the way—comfortably touched the ground. At the same time, the adults could see that they were sitting comfortably and not carrying too much of their own weight (for now).
"It’s perfect," Althea said with a smile, heart feeling tingly at her babies’ growth. She leaned down to give them both smooches before she stood up and stepped back, wondering what the children would do.
"Mwamwaaaahhh"
"Googhmmaamma!"
Judging by their giggles, the two of them seemed very comfortable. They also started jumping and raising their feet up and down for now, but they’d start moving as soon as they figured out that they could.
"Mwamwaaaahhh"
The two jumped around so much that the wheels moved just by an inch, but this little movement made the babies freeze and blink, wondering if something happened just then. freewebnσvel.cѳm
