"Sorry. Allow me to borrow her for a quick second."

"Everyone to the table! Let's go. Let's go." Abuela called, the yellow chairs aligning by itself against the table for each member in the house.

Elena took a seat beside her boyfriend, she would have sat beside Mirabel but for one, Camilo had already been saving the seat for her. And two, Pepe's thunder cloud at her annoyance of her seat being stolen by Mirabel wasn't exactly someone Elena wanted to eat breakfast with. Luisa raised a brow at her younger sister's wish to sit beside her but stayed quiet.

"Luisa." Miracle whispered looking to her friend for help but rolling her eyes on seeing Camilo and Elena being their usual selves and whispering amongst themselves, their pinkies laced beneath the table.

"Family. We are all thankful for Antonio's wonderful new," Abuela grunted when she was about to her seat. "Gift." She finished just as several tiny critters showed themselves.

"I told them to warm your seat." Antonio stated, his voice laced in good will and pride while he was surrounded by various animals from all sides, a colorful toucan standing on his shoulder.

"Thank you, Toñito." Abuela smiled although her hands shooed the animals off her chair. "I'm sure today we'll find a way to put your blessings to good use."

Elena watched Mirabel rapidly whispering to Luisa whose chewing slowed. "Luisa, Dolores says you're totally freaking out. Any chance you maybe know something about last night with the magic....." Spotting her eye twitching, Mirabel slammed her hand on the table and loudly exclaimed, "You Do!!"

"Mirabel." Abuela chastised, the said person freezing at her the adults' annoyed gazes. "If you can't pay attention, I will help you." Not listening to Mirabel's protests, Abuela called for Casita which listened and shifted the energetic girl's position right next to her grandmother.

"As I was saying, we must never take our miracle for granted," she continued once again, Elena noticing Mirabel leaning back to stare intently at Luisa "so today we will work twice as hard." Luisa noticed and tried to act as if she didn't causing Mirabel and Elena to raise a brow of suspicion.

"Mmhmm, I will help Luisa!" The girl tried to get off her chair but Abuela chastised a 'stop' causing Mirabel to grunt as her chair automatically pulled her back to the table, fixed in place.

"First, an announcement." Abuela stood on her feet, walking towards Isabela, "I've spoken to the Guzmáns about Mariano's proposal to Isabela." She said, Elena and Camilo's eyes widening.

"Didn't she like that musician?" He whispered and his girlfriend nodded, the two heaving a sigh.

"Dolores, do we have a date?" At the question, Dolores tilted her ears to the side to listen in.
