DOLORES PERKED UP AFTER HEARING WHAT HER TÍO BRUNO JUST TOLD MIRABEL, she didn't realise that her little cousin was a little. Littles were special to the Madrigal's there had only ever been two in Encanto before they left. She let out a squeak before shuffling silently down the corridor of the house, she was first met with Camilo who looked at her with a weird look. She bent down to his ear and whispered quietly.
"Mirabel's a little." Before pulling away with a small smile, her younger brother stares at her with a shocked look, before watching her shuffle away again.
The silent, but nosy girl walked into the kitchen to find her Aunt Julieta, Tío, Luisa and Isabela who was brushing her hair. She couldn't help but stare until they noticed her which made her pipe up, "Mirabel's a little." They stare at her with a blank expression before they turned to each other with smiles on their faces. Isabela rolls her eyes before going back and talking to the flowers on the table and Luisa was saying how much she was going to take care of her little sister.
Camilo on the other hand went into his mama and papa's room. He could see his dad trying to calm her down as she had a thunder cloud above her, "I just heard from Dolores that Mirabel is a little." This made the two stop.
"What?" His mama looked at him in disbelief and somewhat happiness.
"Mirabel is a little." Felix started jumping around the room yelling nonsense while Pepa's cloud disappears. She stood up and looked at her husband who grabbed her and left the room, Camilo following behind them.
But what stopped him was Antonio's voice, "what's a little?" The older boy turns around with an exciting grin.
"Being little is where you get into the head space of a child, entering a child like care free space away from the adult world. Its a way of coping from some sought of stress they may be experiencing. Little's are important in Encanto, we've had two in the past, but I never thought Mira would ever be one. I wonder why she didn't tell us." Camilo explains while Antonio puts on his thinking face.
"Maybe, she didn't know until now?"
"Possibly." He smiles before taking his brother's small hand.
"Cami, does this mean I'm gonna be Mirabel's big cousin? Oh! Maybe I'll also get a play buddie!" He exclaims with pure joy.
"Sure it does, but we also have to be careful around her, any small thing can set her off." The five year old boy nods understandingly and went to the kitchen to discuss it with the rest of the family.
The only thing was, Abuela wasn't here. And to everyone's guess, no one was going to tell her just yet.

Bruno had led Mirabel back out of the wall, he managed to get her out of her headspace, she was thankful, "see you later, "Tío Bruno!" She whisper yells before going down the steps, feeling his stares upon her.
"Dinner!" She could hear her mama yell, she walks into the kitchen to where everyone was. She froze up when they all looked at her with so much intensity, Abuela looked so confused, but she gave the gift-less girl a look full of disdain.
"Sit, Mirabel. We don't have all night." Alma says to her which causes her to sit in the only seat that was left at the table. She sat in between Camilo and Julieta, everyone's stares made her feel small.
It was as if they wanted something from her, but as everyone started filling their bowls, but before she could mix hers with a fork, Camilo did it for her and her mama gave her one of Antonio's plastic cups, she looked at them all very confused. She looked over at the picture of the family tree feeling Bruno watching her.
What was going on? Alma even looked confused, they both made eye contact with each other, but Camilo set down her food and gave her a smile, one of the smiles he used to give her when they were best friends, she missed it. "Thanks." She says quietly as Abuela began talking about her sister's engagement.
"Mariano comes in three days time, I want everything to be perfect." But her eyes trailed over Mirabel who was being distracted by Luisa making funny faces at her causing her to giggle. "Mirabel." The said girl jumped and snapped her head over to her Abuela, "try not to make mistakes like you always do." She nods her head timidly, the elder didn't realise the amount of glares she received from the family.
After that everyone was silent, they were waiting on Mirabel to tell them. But she didn't. They weren't going to force her or push her to, while the said girl only learnt it from Bruno and she didn't know how to tell any of them, or how they'd take it.
She ate the last of what was in her bowl and started to get up since no one ever noticed she was away. Luisa who was also finished questions, "Mira, I'll walk you to your room if you want?"
"Sure....I'm pretty tired anyways." She says with a smile, everyone but Abuela says Goodnight to her as they walk past.
All of them were thinking the same thing. They had to make things right and protect her.
•~❉᯽❉~• ʚїɞ •~❉᯽❉~• Edited 2023! The family knows! And they want to make things right! Not for them to take care of her as a little, because this has opened some of their eyes and made them realise that they were probably the cause of this happening!
