Bruno and I checked in constantly with each other as the days got closer and closer to Mirabel's Cumpleaños. He was still a bundle of nerves and I was a worried mess. I had noticed even Pepa didn't interact with me as much as usual. Felix and Agustin said something about things being cleared up after the gift ceremony, but soon it was not just Bruno with a pit of anxiety in his stomach.

Mirabel seemed to be the only one not on edge. She was ecstatic to receive her gift, it was in stark contrast to how Milo acted a month prior when the days approached for his. Bruno constantly had her trailing behind him, and he always told her that he couldn't see what gift she got. His own gift didn't allow for that.

When the adults who were planning the event needed time to plan, I pulled my sobrina into the nursery and helped her embroider. Things were coming along and soon, once more, it was the day of a gift ceremony. The month between hers and Milo's went by in what felt like an instant.

Waking up next to my husband, I cuddled into his chest.

"Brunito, big day is here, mi vida." I whispered and he let out a sigh that I felt through his chest.

"I have such a terrible feeling about today." He said, clutching me to him. I glanced at the wardrobe, and for the hundredth time thought about giving him the vision. I reminded myself that I would do it that night, let the joy of Mirabel's big day carry us into our next steps of life.

"It will all turn out alright, women's intuition, remember." I reminded him.

"Yeah, yeah, women's intuition. You better explain what you mean by that after today." He said.

"I will, amor. You and I are going to be fine, Mira is going to be fine, Camilo is doing better thanks to you and I."

"I know." He sighed and rolled me onto my back, peppering kisses along my face and collarbone. "But that is and will be thanks to you."

"You're stalling, Bruno Madrigal." I giggled as he gently nipped at the sensitive skin on my neck.

"I am." He sighed and got up. "Tomorrow, let's just lay in bed and not do anything but love each other."

"Sounds perfect, I'm sure both of us will be very ready for some alone time."

Especially when he sees the vision and the fact that soon we will be parents. I thought.

I wasn't pregnant yet, but once I was I knew Bruno would be the most doting and caring man to take care of me, take care of us. I had a small wistful smile on my face as I watched him get ready. Climbing out of bed as he threw on his maroon button down, I walked forward and began buttoning it for him. It was the one domestic intimacy that I loved and could never get enough of. It was a reassurance that we were together and he was mine. Finishing the last button I pulled him into a kiss.

"Do you need help with anything today?" I asked him. Julieta already told me I didn't need to lend a hand, but I knew I would be keeping an eye on the kids and lending a hand where it was needed.

"I need you to just be ready if anything happens that is bad. Like when Camilo couldn't control his shifting. I still do not know how you got him back to normal when he got his gift."

"The kid loves me, I knew if I told him to give me a big smile that it would help." I ran my hands through his curls, "Just like I know you are going to know exactly what Mira needs in the impossible situation where something goes wrong."

"I don't know how I somehow got you to fall in love with me." He said offhandedly, "But I am the luckiest man alive."

"How do you do it, Bruno, making me the most loved woman in the world?"
