[a year after your wedding day...]

You groan as you pull the covers over your head, "princess, we need to get up." Camilo's groggy voice calls.

"I'm so cold." You whine, wrapping your legs and arms around him and giving him gentle kisses across his face.

"Well now I don't want to leave," he chuckles. His fingers run through your hair untangling some knots.

"Don't stop," you say. Burying your face deeper in his chest.

"What? Does that feel good?" You nod. After a few moments of comfortable silence, Camilo dips his head down to meet your lips. "Are you nervous about today?"

"Very much, what if it doesn't work? Your family will hate me," you say in dread.

"Our family loves you, but even if it doesn't work we can try again, we'll get there eventually."   

"Eventually," you mimic. "I want it now, my lover."

"And, so do I but if the times aren't right, then we should wait." He taps the tip of your nose, "anyway, I think we should join them for breakfast." Camilo slides out of bed, and walks over to your side "let's go,__" he takes both of your hands and pulls you up.

At breakfast, everyone greets you with smiles, like they do every day. "Good morning," you say, taking a seat in your usual spot. This morning you felt a little sick so you didn't really eat anything.

Camilo notices "are you alright?" He says quietly.

"I'm fine, I just feel a bit sick." You shrug, maybe it's because you're nervous. Or maybe it's...

"Okay, maybe it's a sign?"

"Hopefully." Your reply simply.

"Do you want to go now then?"

"Kind of... But I don't want to be rude," you say

"They'll understand." he drops his fork and takes your hand, "__, isn't feeling good, can we be excused?" Abuela nods and gestures her hand, making it clear that it's okay.

Once you're back in the room, "do you want to try now, or later?"

"I think now." you trail over to your bedside and pull out a small pink box.

Camilo pulls you into his arms, "I will love you no matter what it says"

You take a deep breath, "okay."

Camilo waits patiently on the edge of the bed, his hands nervously shake. Minutes felt like hours, but 5 minutes later you walk out with a straight face. His heart missed a beat when he saw your face, he rushed over to you "oh no." When he reached you, you held up the test. Two lines.

"You're going to be a dad!" You say simply, smiling so widely the back of your teeth are showing.

"We need to tell everyone at dinner." He exclaims.

"Dolores probably knows now," you laugh.


Today was just a normal day, hanging out with the family, and doing some regular chores when Abuela called everyone down for dinner.

"Okay, are you ready?" Camilo asked with excitement.

"As I'll ever be"

Camilo goes down a bit before you while you prepare the box, you put it in a little box with a blue ribbon around it.

"Where's __?" Mirabel asks.

"She'll be down in a minute."

You come down a few moments later. You Walk over to Pepa and Felix, you put your hand on Papa's shoulder and place the little box in front of her. "What's this?" she asks.

"It's a surprise." You say. You didn't take a seat, you stayed behind Pepa, with your hands on her shoulders.

You and Camilo had decided Pepa should be the one to receive the gift.

She opened it, her face was priceless.

Once everyone got the news, they were all so happy, and Abuella was especially thrilled.
