The next day, Mirabel found Dolores piling a bunch of food onto a plate. "Dolores, hey, you know out of all my older cousins you're like my favorite cousin, so I feel like I could talk to you about anything ergo you can talk to me about anything like the problem with the magic last night that no one seemed to worry about but maybe you heard about that, maybe I should know about." She said all in one breath.

Dolores stared at her.

Felix came up and gave Dolores a stern look. "Camilo, stop pretending you're Dolores so you can have seconds." He scolded. The real Dolores was behind him.

"Worth a shot." Camilo shrugged as he transformed back into himself. Casita smacked him as a scolding.

"wait he got away with the food," Antonio said, after seeing Camilo get the seconds he stole,

Dolores went up to Mirabel and spoke quietly. "The only one worried about the magic is you and the rats talking in the walls." Then she remembered something. "Oh, and Luisa. I heard her eye twitching all night." With that, she walked away.

"Oh no not this part, Bruno, can we skip it? please?" Luisa said hopefully but still dreading to hear herself sing,

"No, sorry Luisa." Bruno stated, Luisa groaned

Mirabel looked over to where Luisa was setting down the table outside.

Chairs set up around it and the Madrigal family sat down to have breakfast together.

"Family, we are all thankful for Antonio's new...gift..." Abuela froze when she saw animals on her chair.

Antonio smiled. "I told them to warm up your seat." Animals surrounded him.

"My gift is supper cool, I have so many new Friends, My Jaguar, my toucan and they will all be able to help the village to!" Antonio said excitedly.

"Thank you, Tonito." Abuela smiled. "I'm sure today we'll find a way to put your blessing to good use." She shooed the animals away and sat down.

Mirabel whispered to Luisa. "Luisa, Dolores said you're totally freaking out. Any chance you maybe know something about last night with the magic."

Luisa froze, mid chew.

"YOU DO!" Mirabel declared loudly.

"Mirabel." Abuela snapped. "If you can't pay attention I will help. Casita?"

Casita pushed Mirabel's chair over so she sat next to Abuela.

"As I was saying, we must never take our Miracle for granted, so today we will work twice as hard," As Abuela spoke, Mirabel took a glance over at Luisa, who caught her gaze and grew nervous.

"I will help with Luisa." Mirabel insisted.

"First, an announcement." Abuela stood up. "I've spoken to the Guzmans about Mariano's proposal to Isabela." She smiled, taking Isabela's face in her hands. "Dolores, do we have a date?"

"I'm sorry for making you feel like you have to marry him," Abuela softly said.

Dolores listened for a moment. "Tonight. He wants five babies."

Isabela's eyes shot open as flowers sprouted from her head and her cheeks went red with horror.

Sirens of panic went off in Isabela's brain.
