Julieta Madrigal x reader

Children (Julieta x Reader x Agustín)

You walked carefully into the kitchen, hoping Julieta wasn't there. You knew it was an almost silly hope, because she was always in the kitchen, but hey! That's why you were the one with endless optimism, right?

You made it to the arepa batch without a hitch, but when you took one...

"Y/N?" Julieta asked, coming in behind you and making you jump.

Caught red-handed.

"Julieta! Hola!" you smiled nervously "You look gorgeous today"

"Thank you" she replied, raising an eyebrow "what are you doing?"

"Nothing, nothing" you said quickly "I'm just going to...take this"

You tried to run away with the arepa in hand, but your wife was faster and she stopped you with her hands on your shoulders, blocking your exit.

"What happened?" she asked

"Nothing"

"Y/N"

"No, no, seriously, nothing happened"

"Then why do you need an arepa?"

You sighed in defeat. You knew Julieta wasn't going to let you go without an explanation and, although you hadn't wanted to worry her, it was too late for that. If you had learned something in these few but charming years married to Julieta and Agustín Madrigal, it was that it was always better to tell your wife the truth. Always.

"Do you remember that you gave me permission to paint the ceiling in the room?" you said

"Yes?"

"Agustín wants to help...and I couldn't say no, you know? I'm supposed to keep him out of harm's way so that you don't stress about taking care of him, but...it doesn't hurt to take precautions, right?" you smiled shyly.

Julieta blinked before laughing. Of course this was about Agustín. Maybe you were younger than them, but since you came into their lives, you had proven to be a great help to her. She loved her husband just like you, but you two knew how accident prone he was. It was nice of you to want to take care of him for her.

"Then take more" she told you, taking a few arepas and putting them in your hands "God knows that man is a magnet for misfortunes"

"Yes" you laughed "he is like a little boy, but we love him that way"

"Yes we do" she smiled at you and gave you a quick kiss "thank you for taking care of him for me"

"My pleasure" you said, getting out of the kitchen.

You were feeling more optimistic now that you had backup arepas, in case of anything. Although, you doubted that you would need the 6 that Julieta had given you, after all, you were only going to paint, what is the worst that could happen?

"What happened to you two?!" Julieta asked when you and Agustín came into the kitchen covered in paint and a couple of scratches.

You were smiling and laughing,though.

"Let's say next time we'll ask you to help open the paint cans" Agustín said, making you laugh more.

Julieta looked at the two of you, feeling her own smile blossom on her face. At least none of you looked seriously hurt, and you definitely seemed like you had the time of your lives.

"In my defense, I've always opened those things with the screwdriver" you said "I don't know what went wrong this time"

"It was probably my bad luck" Agustín said apologetically

"Ehh...the ceiling ended up looking nice" you shrugged

"And I suspect that also the floor" Julieta smiled, already preparing more arepas "And the furniture"

"What do you think we are, Julieta?" you pretended to be offended "We are professionals...of course we let the floor and furniture beautifully decorated"

The woman laughed as you took Agustín's arm. She loved you both so much. It was true that most of the time you were her right hand, and other times it could be like having two more children, but she wouldn't change a thing.
