Cati's presentation [open rp]
Everything has to be perfect.
This is to be the first time that they will have a huge event like this, one that Jubilee in a way, feels bad for. Because she wants to do this for her daughter, the entire school has to be involved. Somedays, it's harder than others to remember how much she owes them all, and how she will never be able to repay it.
But she isn't going to think about this today.
Today, she is going to dress her daughter up in a pretty white outfit, sent by Emma of course, and just parade her around. Show the world exactly how cute and amazing and perfect and fantastic and adorable etc. etc., her daughter is, which in Jubilee's opinion, will be easy enough.
The ceremony will happen outside, because to be cooped up inside on such a beautiful day would be a sin, and isn't today about purity and innocence? The pastor has been recommended by her old pastor in the Hills and he understands the need for keeping it as secular as possible. He's also a mutant sympathizer, which explains why he's allowed there today.
There won't be much pomp and circumstance. Godparents are to stand up at the front with Jubilee, Alex and Cati, and the pastor will explain their role. Intead of being responsible for Cati's religious upbringing, they will be responsible for providing life skills, and helping their goddaughter in the event her parents can't.
In Jubilee's head, she's calling them Cati's fairy godparents. Each one is chosen, not randomly, as it may appear, but for specific reasons. Terry will provide wisdom, Paige will provide patience, Tabitha will provide joy, Jono will provide responsiblity and John will provide reality. Jubilee's pretty proud of herself for her choices and happily has the pastor include those reasons when he is presenting the godparents. If they don't agree with it, they can talk to her later, but she can't imagine them being angry with it.
When the event is finished, everyone is ushered to the backyard, where a BBQ has been organized, as well as countless cookies provided by everyone's favourite Southern girl. The baby is awake and smiley, and more than willing to be passed around.
ooc: slow time ftw? open to any of jubilee's friends, no rush necessary, i just wanted to put this up. it'll be up for at least a week or so.
