I felt Camilo adjusting his arms before abruptly stopping and becoming still. He still thought I was fast asleep and didn't want his movement to wake me. I was pressed against his chest, just starting to stir. His hand moved to brush a piece of hair out of my face.
"She's so beautiful." I heard him huskily mumble. At those words a smile rose to my face and his heartbeat sped up. When I opened my eyes to meet his, he was staring at me red faced.
"Uhhh did you hear any of that?" His eyes widened.
"Just the last part." I smiled looking up at him. He sighed in relief. I wish I would've woken up earlier.
He craned his head to look at the entrance of the cave.
"Hey it's morning, they'll be looking for us if we don't head out soon." Once I moved my head off his chest, he stood up. He offered me his hand and pulled me up in a swift motion. The rising sun cast a shadow over his soft features. Suddenly he bowed for a second before looking up at me with a sidewise grin.
"Well M'lady," He starts in a joking tone, extending a bent elbow, "Ready to go?"
I give a clumsy curtesy before resting my hand on the crook of his elbow as if he's escorting me somewhere fancy.
"But of course, m'lord." I respond in the same joking 'proper' tone. We began to walk back home.

"Where have you two been?" Isabela smirks with an eyebrow raised as we approach the door to the Casita. Camilo rolls his eyes and shrugs. Isabela mumbles something as she walked away.
As we walked into the house we saw Pepa and Dolores arguing on the second floor near the banisters. We could barely hear what was being said but I could clearly see Pepas wide gestures expressing her frustration. Dolores stared back at her in silence before running into her room and slamming the door behind her. Pepa wiggled the door knob but the door wouldn't budge, she stomped away. A storm cloud following her.
"Geez... I wonder what's wrong with Dolores lately." He said, his shoulders dropping. I sharply inhaled.
"She can just be so- cryptic? I don't know if that's right word. She's just complicated I guess. And I bet if she ever has a kid, that they'll be just like her! A little Dolores... no one would be safe from the wrath!" He laughed. I choked on air at his words.
He tilted his head to face me.
"That was a weird reaction." He said in a questioning tone. My eyes widened. "Y/N, do you know something about Dolores?" He prodded.
My heart sank in my chest. I was not going to tell him anything.
"Of course not." I responded with a shrug. He narrowed his eyes.
"You can tell me anything, Y/N. Dolores is my sister. If you know what's up with her, I should know." He said.
He was right and the temptation was there. But I couldn't. Dolores entrusted me with that secret information. I thought back to how she pulled me in her room and was anxiously pacing when she told me. How her fear made my stomach turn. The memory was forever encapsulated in my mind.
And just as the words she had said played in my head, "I'm pregnant." Just like the night she had told me, an orb appeared in the air. It was a dark green. My eyes widened and it almost felt like everything moved in slow motion as Camilo shot his hand out to grab it.
*(authors note: just reminding you guys this is the fic where y/n has powers that make memories into a physical form and can make little orbs that replay a memory. this is for the readers who read way too many Camilo x reader fics to remember which is which 😭😭)*
I brought my hand up to stop him but the damage was already done. He dropped the orb and it almost appeared to melt in thin air. As the memory played in his mind his pupils grew wide. He covered his mouth and stumbled back. When he removed his hand, his mouth was agape.
"WHAT-!?" His scream echoed. I clamped his mouth shut and mouthed the words, 'shhh I'll explain, go to your room.'
He looked at me in pure confusion but surprisingly obliged. He ran up the stairs and I followed closely behind. Once we got into his room and he closed the door and I lifted my hands up and mimed a pen. He gave a soft 'oh' and walked over to his bedside table. He pulled out a pen and paper and handed it to me.
He began to pace around his room as I wrote, tangling his fingers in his own hair in shock. I finished writing and handed him the paper. It read-
I'm writing so she can't hear us. You cant let Dolores know you know. I promised her I wouldn't say anything and technically I didn't. I can answer your questions to the best of my abilities but I don't know much. Please don't say anything to your family, give her time to tell everyone on her own accord.
After he read the paper he set it down and slowly nodded before flipping it over and writing a note himself. As he was writing he grimaced. I guess the notion that his sister was pregnant was really starting to set in. Once he finished he handed it over to me, I almost laughed at his childish handwriting but managed to keep a straight face.
How long have you known? It's Mariano's right...?? When did that even happen!?
I pointed to his first question. 'Since we went swimming' I mouthed. He nodded. I pointed to his next question. 'Yes.' He took the paper and scribbled something else. It said "Does he know?" I shook my head. He sighed and crossed his arms. Clearly a little confused.
I hear Mirabel calling for me out in the hall. I look at Camilo fearfully. He points to himself and mouths 'I won't tell.'
I relax at his words and bring my hands together as to say "thank you" before running out and regretfully leaving him anxiously pacing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few people wanted Camilo to find out about Dolores soon so here you go! I also think this book might be coming to end soon since I've found it a little unmotivating to write. I wont give you guys a rushed ending or anything but I think I'll start thinking of a nice way to end the story. I was thinking that maybe for my next story I could do requests and just have a book of scenarios with whatever characters you'd like from any show or movie (that I've seen) if that makes sense. If I did do that would you guys be interested? Have a great day!!! Thanks for reading!
