"Something Special"

"What? Why am I the only one going?" Camilo questioned his sister after she just asked if he could do her a favor and do measurements for everyone.

"C'mon, hermano, just one last favor?" She smiled, batting her eyes at her brother with her hands put together. "It would be so much faster if you do it. Plus, I know how much you want to get Estella all for yourself more," Dolores mentioned, making him get flustered.

"Why are you making it sound like that's a bad thing?" He pouted, sighing afterward as a sign of defeat. "Fine, fine. I'll do it."

Dolores squeezes her little brother in a tight hug, and even plants a kiss on his cheek, saying, "Gracias, hermano!"

"Don't forget, her birthday is in two weeks," She tells him, before skipping off. "Though I doubt you forget about it," She adds, a little less volume in her voice, talking to herself.

Camilo knocks on the Cortez's front door, making Tacita smile as soon as she answered.

"I should really get used to seeing you come in the front door sometimes," She said, letting him in when all of a sudden their children start crying from upstairs in the nursery.

It's how most infants start the day, after all, right?

★ It's just based on my experience though, I'm not really sure 😂 ★

"I got it!" They could hear Estella yell from upstairs after the sound of heavy footsteps.

"Camilo, would you mind waiting for a little bit in the sewing room? We'll only be a minute," Tacita says, needing to tend to her children while her husband was already on his way upstairs.

The boy did what he was told and waited upstairs after he got escorted by Estella's mom, catching a glimpse of the girl trying to lull one of her siblings in the nursery.

It didn't take long before Estella came into that room with him, while her parents tried calming down their children.

"Sorry about the noise," She said, making him shake his head and insist that it was alright. He had his moments with Antonio.

Grabbing a pen, paper, and some measuring tape from one of the drawers in the room, Estella asks, "Should we do the bride first?"

"One bride, coming up," Camilo said, turning into Dolores as he smiled at her. "Don't be shy now," He winked, saying it in Dolores's voice and her face, making her laugh.

Swiftly, Estella measures everything she'd ever need for the dress to be as comfortable as possible. After Dolores, they went to Mirabel. Then Isabela, Luisa, Julieta, Pepa, and then Abuela Alma.

"Tell me if you get tired, we could take a break or get yours first," The girl tells him, referring to his measurements as he shapeshifts back into himself. She knows how tired he can get from using his powers too much.

"I love how you think about me more often," He smiled, making her scoff. "But I'm alright, just tell me who's next. Is it Lover Boy Mariano?"

The girl laughed, ever since Dolores and Mariano have been dating he's been telling her how he's been witnessing Mariano's seductive moves on his sister when in reality he was just being a little overprotective. But it's not like he'll admit to it.

"No, we're doing you," She said, writing his name on her paper.

"'Stel, I'm really fine. You don't have to put me up first," He tells her, getting surprised when she suddenly puts her measuring tape around his neck and pulls him close. "Oh, but I want to," She smirked, making him blush which she found amusing.
