Their relationship was doing great, still in a secretive way. They were spending a lovely evening together, with Conchata and Gabriella, chatting and playing together.
Y/n and Gabriella were sitting on the ground, playing with her toys, imagining stories and events in their game. Meanwhile Conchata was watching TV, and sometimes she would spend a word with Miguel who was sitting just right beside him. The man was scrolling in his phone for business matters but sometimes he would glance at his daughter and at the nanny with a loving look.

Suddently their peace was interrupted by someone knocking at the door. Y/n glanced and looked at the door standing up <<I'll go get it.>> she interrupted the game and went over the door.
She went and opened it, seeing an unknown man who asked politely <<Good evening, is Miguel O'Hara here?>>. The unknown man looked at her. She didn't know him but she noticed a particular thing: had Miguel's features.
Conchata came to see who was it and her eyes sparkle <<Mijo! You are back!>> she exclaimed, holding the man's face and kissing his cheeks. The woman exclamation made Gabriella's and Miguel's attention fall on them.
Gabriel, held his mother's hand affectionately. <<Mother, it's been far too long. I've missed you.>> he was happy to see her mother and hugged her. Miguel walked over as Y/n asked <<Miguel, is he...?>> she whispered quietly. Miguel glanced over at the unknown man that he knew really well, then back at Y/n with a reassuring nod <<My brother, Gabriel, that I talked you about.>>. The nanny nodded, understanding the situation. Gabriel smiled, and looked at Miguel <<Hermano, is nice to see you.>>. Immediately the two of them hugged tightly, a normal reaction since they didn't see each other from a long time. Miguel patted his back a couple of times as he left him.
Gabriel then glanced again at the nanny <<I am Gabriel, nice to meet you.>> and nicely introduced himself. She smiled and tend her hand <<I am Y/n, nice to meet you too.>> she introduced herself too. He looked at her and flashed a friendly smile, shaking her hand <<Are you my brother's fiancèe?>> he asked politely again. Her cheeks became red at his question as Miguel cleared his throath <<No, she's Gabriella's nanny.>>.
Gabriel nodded <<Ella es realmente encantadora, ¿verdad?>> he said, in spanish. The nanny was slightly confused at his spanish words because she didn't know their meaning. Meanwhile she noticed Miguel's face tense a bit, as if what his brother said made him mad. Gabriel laughed and patted his shoulder <<I am kidding, relax Miguelito. I have eyes just for my girlfriend.>> said in a teasing tone as Miguel rolled his eyes at that silly nickname.
Gabriella ran, and saw him <<Papa, who's he?>> she held her father's arm. He looked down at his daughter and showed her to his brother << He's tío Gabriel.>> he intruced her to him.
Gabriella's eyes widened in excitement, and he waved cutely at her <<Hey there, you don't remember me because you were just a newborn last time we met.>> he smiler. Gabriella got close to Gabriel, tugging at his hand <<Uncle Gabriel, do you want to play with me?>>.
Gabriel's face softened at the request of his niece, and he chuckled, <<Of course, sobrina. What games do you want to play?>>.
As the evening progressed, Gabriel seamlessly blended into the family dynamic, laughing and joking with Conchata, playing with Gabriella, and  having small chats with Y/n and Miguel. Gabriel was a radiant individual, full of positive energy. He was an extrovert who thrived in social settings, effortlessly connecting with other people. His kind and warm-hearted nature seem that brightened up the room. They talked about everything: their jobs, their lives, sometimes Gabriel would bring up about his ans Miguel's childhood memories. He spoke of his girlfriend, saying that he proposed and she said yes.

Finally, as the night grew late, and the just finished the dinner. Conchata decided to clean the dishes, as Miguel took Gabriella to sleep since it was late.
Gabriel and Y/n remained alone in the lounge area as he spoke <<My brother has a soft spot for you, I noticed.>> he said suddently. Her heart stopped for a second as she looked at him. She spoke <<We know each other from a long time now.>> she said vaguely, trying to ignore what he was pointing out.
Gabriel raised his eyebrown and rolled his eyes playfully <<You two are together or something similar. Am I right?>> he asked. She looked at him surprised as he continued <<I noticed his expression when I teased him before. And how he looks at you, and vice versa.>> he said calmly, with low voice, not making his mother hear their conversation.
She was still surprised by how he quickly recognized their secret by just a few of behavior. She blushes slightly and nodded. He smiled, as if he was satisfied that his brother finally had someone to stay with. Or just because he guessed.
<<You are a great observator, I may notice.>> she stated, and he smiled amused by her. He nodded <<I like watching people's behavior. They are so easy to read.>> he paused for a second <<But still, I am happy that my brother found someone as kind and generous as you. Thank you.>> he said. She got even more surprised, but her eyes couldn't help but soften.

When Gabriel left the house, giving his mother a ride to go back home, Y/n and Miguel found themselves alone.
<<It was nice tonight>> Y/n whispered, as Miguel gently wrapped his arm around her waist. He noded <<I know it was unexpected, but it was nice to meet him again after a long time.>>
Y/n leaned into his embrace, relief washing over her. She looked up at him <<He knows.>>
Miguel, as he pressed a soft kiss to her temple, he looked at her <<Of what?>>.
<<Of us. He noticed our behavior.>> she looked at him and his eyes widened. She spoke again, calming him down <<But he won't tell anybody.>>.
The man nodded, as he stroked her hair <<I know. And... we should tell Gabriella too. And my mother also.>> he started thinking. She nodded, stroking his arm <<We will.>>.
He nodded as they stood in each others arms.
Then she spoke again <<What did he say in spanish when we met?>> she brought up that conversation again. He looked at her, then away <<Nothing.>>. Y/n smirked, knowing damn well that it was nothing to worry about but that made Miguel slightly nervous <<Were you jealous?>>.
<<I am never jealous.>> he stated, looking at her with a serious face. She rolled her eyes playfully, amused by him, kissing his cheek <<I totally believe it.>>
