Atlas ~ Encanto Fanfiction

48 ~ Atlas's POV

I blushed when Antonio carried her away before sighing. Pepa gave me a gentle smile, a small cloud forming over her head as she walking over to me. She puts her hand on my shoulder before saying, "I know that look... you and Antonio are having parenting problems aren't you?"

I blush and say, "I-"

She interrupts me with, "I know it's not my place to know, but let me tell you this. There are very few cases out there, where alone is ready to parent. Felix and I planned for Dolores. But we did not plan for Camilo or Antonio. when I had Camilo I was a nervous wreck... i felt like I wasn't parenting right. Like everything I'd done for Dolores just flew out the window. It's ok to be scared and nervous Atlas. Love at first sight isn't a thing a for everyone mother. But I'm. Sure you'd figure out your place with Eliana and Antonio. Antonio has talked about and dreamt of having kids of his own since he was little. But I  have not."

The laughed beofer ocntinuing, "I remember when Bruno got you that baby doll for your sixth birthday. You tried to take care of it for about a week befoer crying and running Bruno about how you didn't want a baby. My point is, if you need to talk. Literally anyone one here will listen Atlas..."

I smiled and said softly, "thank you Pepa."

She nods before Julieta says, "i was about to frost the cookies if you want to help,"

I shake my head, "actually I think I want to help decorate a bit..."

They nod and Pepa and Julieta went back tot eh kitchen. I turned to Bruno before saying, "don't worry. Antonio and I have worked out our plan, ok?"

Bruno nods hesitantly before w;a king away. The I turned to Camilo. He pulled a twig out of my hair before saying softly, "Where did you go? When you ran?"

"Back to my house." I reply

Camilo nods before brushing some of my hair out of my face. He quickly reeled bakc his hand though shoving it in his pocket and saying, "does he know?"

I shake my head before saying, "no I told him it was Diego..."

Camilo noddd before I said, "I heard you can shapeshifting other poeple now..."

He nods and says, "yes I can, only for small amounts of time and I hav ego remain in constant contact with their body. I;m hoping my gift will get stronger so that I don[t hav ego be right next to them snd it's not so taxing."
To Eliana's
I nodded before saying, "so say, I wanted to be a cat how long could I be a cat?"

Camilo laughs and says, "about an hour.''

I nodded and said, "pretty cool, pretty cool..."

He nods before brushing the hair out of his face with his hand. I immediately noticed the red, scarred knuckles. I got a weak look and took his hand running my fingers o his knuckles, scolding him, "Camilo. Are you breaking mirrors again?!"

Camilo blushed and pulling back, saying, "I attempted to break the dream mirror but once again it did not work."

I shook my head and said, "you've got to stop doing that. Your going to seriously hurt yourself one of these days..."

He shakes his head adn says, "that;s what Julieta's arepas are for."

I shake my head before hearing footsteps on the stairs and seeing Antonio. I blushed and walked over to him. He smiles at me before walking over to Camilo and asking, "what did you do with all those balloons?"

He nods towards Felix who was hanging up the last balloon. Everyone stopped and looked around. Ot be honest we looked all set. We exchanged looks. It was well into lunchtime now much to the grumpy and hangry (hungry-angry) kids dismay, so Julieta began making lunch. Mirabel and Luisa helped while we sent the kids to start handing out invitations to Eliana's ceremony to distract them.
