"When's Y/n's birthday?" Julieta asks suddenly when most of the family was gathered together to make some food for dinner since they were to celebrate Pedro Madrigal's their grandfather and father's birthday. Everyone stopped working as it occurred to them

"Do you think she remembers that?" Bruno asks as he shapes the dough, making even Camilo shake his head, feeling bad you don't remember

"She remembers" Dolores says passing by the door of the kitchen

"Its next month" Antonio answers the same time

Everyone stare at Antonio in surprise "How do you know, Tonito?"

"I asked her," he explains "But she says not to tell anyone"

"Then why say it, now?" Luisa asks poking her head beside Dolores

"Cause, if I don't say anything she'll celebrate her birthday by herself" Antonio answers

"Besides" Dolores says "She doesn't want us to know"

"Why not?" Camilo speaks up

"She doesn't want to be a burden," Dolores explains "She already feels indebted to us cause we let her stay" She squeaks and walks away

Camilo stares at his hands before he wakes up from the memory of their conversation the other day when he remembers that he must resume with his chores, Isabela approached him, except he knows his prima would have to ask who he was since he was shifted. It changed when you popped out of no where approaching someone Isabela could remember as one of the kids

"Camilo" You said to the kid, making everyone stare at you "Tia Pepa and Abuela told me to tell you that you should accompany me when I go to the market later"

The kid blinks and shifts back to himself "How did you know it was me?" he asks

"I told you," You smile "I can just tell, so, yes?"

He nods "Yeah, ok" He says and you walk away smiling at Isabela in greeting before going somewhere else

"Can she always do that?" Isabella starts

"Yeah" He answers "But I was in denial until today"

Isabela laughs, "I wanted to ask you if you were going to give Y/n a present on her birthday?" He nods "Really what are you gonna give her?"

Camilo's eyes move to the side where a stall in the market place sell painting supplies "She likes to draw, so I thought" he trails off

"Smart" Isa agrees "that's not a bad idea"

"Why?" Camilo asks "What were you planning to give her?"

"A flowers bed full of Orange mocks and Gladiolus's" Isa answers "Y/n starts to like gladioluses recently, so I thought I'd give her some"

"That's smart" Camilo says shifting into her making Isabella flick flowers into his face, the kids watching laughing at the scene

Your birthday comes quickly, the whole Madrigal family try and move quickly to prepare you a surprise for your birthday, and when the day comes everyone tries their best to keep you out of Casita (Which Mirabel and Antonio have decided to take the job)

You woke up by yourself that day, you knew it was your birthday. It was weird, usually Arthur would jump on your bed to wake you up, you would wake up of course you would kick him off the bed while telling him to piss off

Then your parents would walk in the room holding cake and a present from all three of them to which you'd happily joke by telling them "the birthday girl wants to sleep"
