xiomara delfina alvarez Riera Calderon Leyte-Vidal Inclan, first daughter of war medic penelope alvarez. taking after her mother's steps and becomes a sergeant in the U.S army. now she comes back for her little sister quinces.
yesterday was hectic as fuck. when i had gotten back to the apartment i saw alex ordering things around but mami was no where to be found. "Alex weres mami" he looked up from the clip board and said "doctor berkowitz knocked down the seating chart but mami is fixing it in her room, i have a feeling shes knocked out so i took a pic before it was ruined and can you fix it" he says and i nod taking his phone. i ended up fixing the whole thing.
today is the quinces and i was helping Elena get ready in the room provided by the venue. i did her hair all up nice and pretty setting the braids in place. i was already dressed. i ended up staying in mamis bed but when my mother sleeps she don't wake up for no one.

i walked out of the room that elena was getting dressed in. i went to go find alex to see what he was up to.
"dios mio tapa a Xiomara" alex says pointing to my cleavage.
i chuckle "solo espara a qeu a tengas Novia papito" i say pinching his cheeks. i see mami approaching us. "now I'm in heaven" i hear her say admiring the now decorated venue.
"immigrants" alexs says
"We get the job done" she hugs us both.
"i cant believe you pulled this together...look at the centrepieces" she gushes, she spots a tia and says "ay tina mey bein hecho, all is forgiven" they hold hands before doing a weird kissey thing until mami pulls away and says "most is forgiven"
she walked back over to us and asks "have you seen your papi" i look at alex since he's been here for a bit "no, but I'm seeing to much of something" he quips and comments about mamis and i cleavage. alex walks off but mami looks at me.
"really?" she says looking down at my boobs. "I'm grown" i deflect the shade. "you may be grown but you still my kid" she says and kisses my cheek. i was standing in the middle of the dance floor as my mother walks of to greet relatives. i turn around and see Papi walking in a navy blue suit. he spots mami and they give each other a mutual nod.
i walk over to him "I'm glad you came, this means a lot to flaquita" he smiles but i could tell he wanted to say something but i walked away before he could speak.
(time skip to elenas dance portion)
"hey everybody" mami said scooting over the dance floor.
"hello?" she raised her voice. i stood up and yelled "¡ciérralo!" i looked over at mami and i could see she was trying to hold in a smirk. "the room it yours". she nodded and continued "victor and i would like to invite you all for coming, and I'm probably going to cry so deal with it, mi gente." the room laughed "august 7th 2001, the doctor said elena was due august 15th but you know her... she ain't gonna let no man tell her when she gone get birthed" i remember that day, mami nearly broke my hand. "elena has always been her own girl... and no shes becoming her own woman. when she was in third grade she played the cherry tree in a school play, and when George Washington swung his ax, she hit him back and said 'trees are people too'." the crown laughed again. "and that's elena. always sticking up for the underdog. wether its a tree or animal a friend...or me" mami started to get choked up. you could see the tears threatening to fall from her eyes. "shes taught me more about being strong...selfless and true to yourself than i could ever taught her. okay i cant hold it in anymore so lets just bring out the court" mami said fanning her tears with her hand.
two men open the doors and a bunch of people walk out in pairs. then i see papito strutten like he's on a runway, he flicks his coat out and i cant help but giggle and his extraness. "and now lets welcome the girl of the hour or should i say woman of the hour- Elena Maria Alvarez Riera Calderon Leytevidal Inclan" what can i say were cuban. elena walks out in a stunning beaded white corset and white dress pants. she looks absolutely amazing, "thank you, Gracias, your welcome" Abuelita says.
elena turns to her escourt "are you ready" the male says and elena nods "are you sure?" Dracula's daughter walks out from the court and stands near elena. "carmen! oh!" they hug "what are you doing here" she smiles. "Schnieder flew me out" elena looks over and him and he winks.
they all take there places and the music starts. i couldn't take my eyes off elena she looked truly remarkable. i turn my head to the table papi was sitting at and he looked like he was holding down puke. we locked eyes, i tilted my head up ever so slightly and raised an eyebrow. he looked away.
after the dances were over we applauded and i made my way over to elena.
"mi oh mi flaquita, sé que somos cubanos, pero el gen del baile realmente apareció en ti, sí" i giggled and she hugged me "i love you but i have no idea what you just said" oh that's right mami sent me a letter while i was deployed in russia that elena stopped speaking Spanish. "you looked fucking amazing" i said, elena smiled and dragged me to meet her friend "Carmen this is my sister Xiomara" she introduced. "hi" Carmen said in a very monotoned voice. "hi there, i think i saw you on the laptop during a fitting of elenas dress. but then again i wasn't sure if yu were a person or a character from monster high" i mused, carmen turned to my sister and said "your whole families mean...i love it" i giggled and hugged her.
i walked towards my other family and sat in one of the seats, "que mala, que sucia" came from abuelita. a man announced the father daughter dance. a small round of applause went off, i payed no mind in that but my eyes searched the room for papi. he wasn't in his seat. mami seamed to do the same thing. schneider stood in the door way. mami gave him a look and he shook his head no. the music was already playing, i looked at elena and she was searching for him to. i looked her in the eyes and tears were starting to form. mami stood up and took victors place. i soon got up and stood behind elena resting my chin on her head.
"we got you flaquita" i said and a tear dropped from my eye, we swayed as alex joined up, Abuelita was next to join. all of our hands connected. i see schnieder make his way to the dance floor and stand near mami. "I'm okay you guys" she said. "thank you both for having a quinces" she let out a shakey breath "i have to admit this is pretty great" mami smiled before Abuelita said "you are very welcome mija, i never tire of saying this but" i knew what she was going to say next because i was reluctant of having my quinces too and she said the same thing "i told you so" i mimicked her at the same time as she said it. the little group laughed and mami said "eat it up, because were not doing this till your wedding" elena sniffled "oh I'm never getting married so..." mami rolled her eyes playfully and broke away grabbing my hand to join her "i cant hear youuuu" she said in a sing song type of voice. "the musics too loud" i say spinning mami. everyone started to join us on the dance floor.
the rest of the night was so fun.
