Things were going smooth for the planning of the upcoming wedding in just a couple of weeks and on this particular day Mirabel was with the dead side  of her family more specifically her in laws, they were overwhelming sometimes but they adored Mirabel a little bit more so then her family and she was happy to call them family even before they were engaged; they knew from the moment she stepped into their lives and since then they have called her  Mija  in every conversation possible and she loved it .

"Is it almost done Mija?" Rosita asked

"Si almost just give me one second ". Mirabel said threading a needle though the skirt

"There perfect ". Mirabel holds up the skirt to check for any tears

"Mira, Carina That took you 5 minutes how did you do that so fast?" Victoria asked

"Steady hand is all". She smiled

I'll say". Oscar starts

"Even we can't sew soles of shoes that quick". Julio added

"I think that's a record ". Felipe sighed

"You think?" Mirabel asked

"Si". Coco answers

"I'm glad you think so because it's going to be underneath my wedding dress, that way when I dance it won't get caught ". Mirabel replies

"How does that work?" Julio asked

"Well when I unclip the skirt the shorter version of the dress  comes down like this". She demonstrates unclicking the fabric and the shorter version comes down.

"Wow Mija even I didn't have that for my wedding dress". Imelda smiled

"Really?" She coaxed

"Si, back then I didn't sew a lot so being taught by hand was tricky as I had to be retaught and I wanted something like that on my wedding dress, but I got so tired of it I just gave up". Imelda explains

"Well I find that very hard to believe ". Mirabel chuckled

"Well it's true Mija it's just some of us need some practice that's all no one is good at everything ". Imelda laughs

"Well tell that my sister for 10 years she had this Image where she had to be perfect all the time especially in front of my Abuela since she believed she had to". Mirabel Remembers

"I see". She nodded

"When things changed it was hard for her to break the habit ". Mirabel adds

"It was the same way with me inviting music back into the house again especially when it came to Héctor, I guess old habits die hard don't they Mira?" Imelda chuckled

"Si, I mean it took me ages to open myself up Again to my family  after years of being lonely really takes a toll and builds up a wall especially when you're non-gifted and not special like your family ". Mirabel replies

"Ay Mija I am so sorry no family should treat you like that". Imelda apologises

"Si, Estas bien". She nodded

"No it's not they don't see how special you truly are and they are not just telling you that  You're  special because you know we don't ". Imelda sighed

"I know Mamá Imelda ". Mirabel replies

"Because you are our treasure and we  love you Mi vida". Imelda smirked as she prepped kisses all to her face
