What if Isabela was Antonio's Mother

A lil bit of back story

lol i'm still alive. Bet ya thought i was dead. well too damn bad you can't get rid of me that easy.

THE BITCH IS BACK

Isabela's pov

I wake up in Antonio's room and shift, groaning softly as I turn and frantically reach for Aaron who has mysteriously disappeared.

I felt around the empty space until I felt something other than sheets.

paper.

A note. He left a note. Well at least he didn't just leave without saying goodbye.

Good morning I can hear people waking up and your sister is knocking on Antonio's door asking if hes ready to help your Tio Bruno make a vision? So I really gotta go but I'll be back to come and see you later.

Tio Bruno? But he left... like a long time ago.

IS HE BACK?!

I've always loved Tio Bruno. He was the only person in this family who loved me no matter how perfect I was. The only one who accepted me. The only one that got what it was like to be pressured by Abuela to be better than you were. to feel like you were never enough. No matter how hard you tried, how perfect you are, or strive to be, you will never. EVER. Be exactly what she wanted from you.

~*Le Flashback*~

An 11 year old Isabela is woken by soft knocking on her door. Groggily she calls out "Hello... who's there" after a few seconds she gets her answer " u-uh it's your Tio Bruno"

"Oh, come in" she says, her twin braids fall down her back as she sits up and the door opens to reveal the older man dressed in green striped pajamas. "Is it time for breakfast already" she says gracefully throwing off her blanket to reveal blood pooling around her thighs.

A shriek echos through the casita and Bruno rushes forward with his arms outstretched "MY LIVER!!" Isabela screeches "what's wrong with your liver!?" The older man questions frantically before being interrupted by Isabela "ITS WHAT FILTERS YOUR PEE!... I think." She trails off. "No I'm pretty sure that's your kidneys" he says awkwardly smiling and shrugging while fiddling with his hands.

"MY KIDNEYS!!!! NOOOOOOO I LIKED THEM"

"I-it's ok your kidneys are fine" he awkwardly chuckles. "This is something else... did your Mama talk to you about this or...?"

"I think if she told me about my kidneys dying... I WOULD REMEMBER!!" She screeched throwing her arms up to emphasize her point

"Uh alright" he held up his hands in defense "I... uh... l-lets just get you cleaned up and then we can talk about it... or I can bring you to your mama... or Tia... or literally anyone but me. Trust me kid you don't want me to try to explain this to you."

She hesitantly nods her head and nervously scoots to the edge of her bed and throws her arms around her Tio. He smiles "one day your gonna be to big for this"

She gasped dramatically pulling back a little "never" and snuggles closer into his neck he readjusted his grip on the younger girl so he could carry her bridal style to the bathroom. "your gonna be taller than me, I can feel it" she raised an eyebrow "oh really, is that so?"

"Your forgetting I can see the future, I know it's gonna happen. No matter how much you want to deny it your growing up"

"No I don't want to grow up. I want to stay little forever with you... you make my life so much better when your here. I don't have to be perfect with you. I can just be... me" Her words pulled at his heart strings and she began to nod off again.

Before she could fall asleep though they arrived at the bathroom. Casita had already brought everything to help clean her up. "Ok uh I'll be right here when your done" he said placing her gently down on the toilet seat and stepping backwards out of the room. She nods and he closes the door softly so it didn't make any nose or wake up the rest of the family.

He sat there for a good 45 minutes until she walked back out with a towel wrapped around her torso. Wet, unbraided hair fell down her back and tightly held to her chest were her two hair ribbons and her blood soaked nightgown.

She looked even more tired than before swaying on her feet, eyes drooping almost shut. She stumbled a few steps before he scooped her up and carefully carried her to her mothers room.

He kicked his sisters door till she opened it rubbing her eyes. "Bruno it's 2:15 in the morning what do you wan-" When she saw her daughter she straightened up "what happened!" She whisper yelled at her younger brother "I saw it in a vision last night and thought she would freak out, heh, I was kinda right she screamed for a while"

"Screamed!? About what?!"

"Well uh..."

She saw the the nightgown folded neatly in her arms.

"Ohhhhhhhh..."

"Yeah... you take her and I'll change the sheets"

"Yeah ok, you put her down in bed." She stepped aside to let him in and he turned sideways so he wouldn't hit her dangling legs on the door frame. Walked over to the bed and gently laid her down making sure she was comfortable. Before starting to get up to walk away.

His sister stopped him "Oh and the sheets are on the top shelf in the linen closet... your absolutely sure, I mean she's kind of young."

"Yeah I'm pretty sure... oh, and she thinks there's something wrong with her kidneys"

"Why would she think that?" She raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"Your kidneys filter your pee" he shrugged and got up.

"Oh oh Ohhhhhhh. That makes sense."

He was stopped by a hand griping onto his green pajama shirt sleeve. He looked down to see her big, sparkling, brown eyes staring up at him. Pleading for him to stay. He sighed and pulled her onto his lap and she snuggled into his neck. "Or I'll stay for a while."

"My stomach hurts" she mumbled. "Oh your just cramping querida." Julieta comforted her daughter, placing a hand on her back. Isabela groaned "mmm make it go away" Julieta half smiled, sympathetically at her daughter "I can't do that. Sorry mi vida"

She sat down next to them and Bruno slowly moved her into her mothers arms, and got up while trying not to shift the bed. Isabela snuggled closer to her mother and groaned again as she threw her arms around her neck.

Bruno changed the sheets and started to get ready for his youngest sobrina's gift ceremony in a few days.
