Abuela walked outside the house with a tea cup in her hand and called out, "Everyone, to the table! Let's go, let's go. "
Casita slid some chairs for each Madrigal and the L/Ns as they approached the dining table.
Every chair slowly filled except for the one opposite to Luisa's, which was next to Antonio's, and the two next to Luisa. Pepa was about to sit down on the chair beside Luisa, but Mirabel rushed forward and sat down on the chair.
Pepa gave her niece an annoyed look as a small thundercloud appeared above her head.
Felix noticed this and drew his wife to the chair next to him, patting her back to calm her down. Pepa took a deep breath, and the cloud faded away as she gave her husband a sweet smile.
Shrugging, Y/n sat down beside Antonio (who instantly became shy as Y/N kissed his chubby right cheek), right in front of Luisa.
Mirabel looked up at her sister, "Luisa." But before she could continue, Abuela interrupted,
"Family. We are all thankful for Antonio's wonderful new" Abuela was about to sit on her chair but let out a startled gasp when she saw three coatis sitting on it. "Gift."
"I told them to warm up your seat." Antonio told her with a proud smile (which earned him a sweet smile from Y/n, causing him to grin widely).
"Thank you, Toñito." Abuela shooed the little animals away, claiming her chair back, "I'm sure today we'll find a way to put your blessings to good use."
As Abuela started to talk, Mirabel turned back to her older sister, "Luisa, Dolores says you're totally freaking out. Any chance you maybe know something about last night with the magic..."
Luisa chewed her food, looking at her sister wide-eyed, then suddenly her eye started to twitch.
Mirabel gasped, banging her hand on the table, "You do!"
"Mirabel!" Abuela called, looking at her disapprovingly. "If you can't pay attention,I will help you."
"Oh, actually..."
"Casita!"
Mirabel yelped as her chair was pulled out and was placed right beside Abuela. Y/n snorted loudly but instantly started to cough to cover up when her mother gave her disapproving looks.
Abuela looked back at the rest of the family, "As I was saying, we must never take our miracle for granted,"
Mirabel leaned back to look at Luisa, who noticed and immediately looked away nervously. Mirabel smirked. Her sister definitely knew something.
Luisa looked in front and saw Y/n was also looking at her with narrowed eyes. Her eyes twitched again.
"So today we will work twice as hard."
Mirabel nodded at her Abuela's word halfheartedly and volunteered, " Mmm-hmm. Y/n and I will help Luisa. " She tried to get up, but was stopped by Abuela's command, "Stop."
"First, an announcement." Abuela stood up. "I've spoken to the Guzmans."
Y/n instantly looked up at the mention of Guzman's. 'I think I know where it's going' she thought. And as she predicted, her face fell upon hearing the next words from Abuela.
"about Mariana's proposal to Ian."
"What?" Y/n whispered, looking up at Abuela then at Ian, who was already looking at her with wide eyes.
Mariana Guzmán. Of-fucking-course! A golden girl and a golden boy will be getting married, have five children, and live happily ever after.
Why was she herself all worked up again? He can marry whoever he wants. Did he want to, though? Is nobody gonna ask about his opinion?
Y/n looked again at Ian, who was now staring at his food with a dazed look.
'Mariana? I don't like her like that. Is that so hard to understand? Why can't she just leave me alone? What about Y/n? What about if I want to spend my life with Y/n? Should I tell Abuela now? No, no, no, I can't; I have responsibilities. What if Y/n rejects me in front of everyone? She never showed any signs of liking towards me? If she rejects me, then Abuela and my whole family would be humiliated. I have to listen to Abuela. I have to be perfect. For my family.'
Ian's inner battle was stopped as his grandma approached him, but before asking Dolores, "Dolores, do we have a date?"
Dolores (who looked disturbed) listened carefully and answered, "Tonight. She wants five babies. "
Y/n gagged silently, stabbing her food while Ian gulped and a few unruly flowers appeared on his head.
"Wonderful! Such a fine young woman with our perfect Ian," Abuela smiled at her oldest grandchild with pride, "will bring a new generation of magical blessings and make both of our families stronger."
Ian smiled or tried to smile. Beside him, Camilo shifted himself into Mariana, teasing his cousin, making some kissing noises.
Ian waved his hands, hitting Camilo's face with some flowers, which made the boy change back into his real body, spitting some flowers out (which had entered his mouth).
Y/n couldn't take it anymore. She put the spoon she was holding, on the plate with a loud clank and said, "So, we are not gonna ask him what he wants." She asked, looking at Abuela.
Ian looked at her confused. 'Is it me or does Y/n look sad? Does she have feelings for me too? Maybe I should......'
"Why would he oppose it? He knows what's good for our family. Don't you, Ian?" Abuela asked, looking at Ian.
"I-" Ian looked at Abuela then at Y/n, back and forth a few times. Finally stopped at his grandma's face as her smile started to fade. "Yes, Abuela."
Shit!
He closed his eyes. He just couldn't do it. He couldn't make his Abuela disappointed.
Abuela smiled again, patting Ian's back. Then she looked at Y/n (who was now scowling at her food again), "We have good news for you too, dear."
"Oh?" Y/N looked at her suspiciously, then at her mother (who looked happy for some reason) and her father (who avoided her eyes).
"Today's second announcement is about Y/N and Camilo's engagement."
"WHAT!" Y/n yelled and stood up. While Camilo choacked on the water he was drinking and coughed, leaning towards Ian (who looked like someone took away all his powers) for support. 'What the fuck is going on!?!!'
"WHY!?!" Y/n demanded, looking at Abuela.
"Y/n!" Her mother warned, trying to shush her, but stopped as Abuela held her hand out, motioning M/N to stop.
Abuela looked at Y/n with superiority, "You and Camilo like each other. You two are close. You two would be perfect together. And we aren't saying you should marry now. You can marry whenever you want in the future." And she added, "But before having kids, of course."
Beside Ian (who looks ready to cry), Camilo made some weird protesting noises.
Abuela ignored him and continued, "Your parents agreed."
Y/N looked at M/N (who stared back at her with a stern look) in disbelief, then gave her dad a betrayed look, who looked away with a guilty look. Yes bitch, feel guilty, you deserve it!
Y/n looked back at Abuela, with a challenging look, "Well they ain't ME. I am the one who decides who I want to marry and how I want to live MY life in future. Yes I and Camilo are close, but we are just FRIENDS. F-R-I-E-N-D-S." [plays 'FRIENDS' by Marshmallo, Annie-Marie]
Then she glared towards her mother, "and with due respect mother, this is MY life. You should consider asking me first before you make some life-changing decisions." With that, Y/N stormed out of there, furious.
Mirabel (who along with the rest of the family were looking at Abuela and Y/n back and forth till now) went to follow her to console her best friend, but Felix stopped her, "Give her some time to cool down." He suggested.
Mirabel nodded but looked at the way Y/n went with worry. She wasn't the only one, Ian and F/N were also looking at the direction with concerned looks.
"I am sorry about her behaviour. I don't know what has gotten into her lately." M/n told Abuela sadly.
Abuela nodded, "She will come around." She said with a stern voice, then put on a smile on her face again, "Okay. Our community is counting on us." Abuela finished her speech. "La Familia Madrigal!"
"La Familia Madrigal!" Everyone chorused.
