A Madrigal Christmas: A magical Miracle
AN: welcome back to another magical adventure. In this story I know it's Christmas so I decided to blend two ideas that I had together Also I have added the song Feliz Navidad/Mis deseos since I thought it would be nice for Mirabel and Bruno to sing a duet.
AS DISCLAIMER: I don't own the song that belongs to lovely Thalia and Michael Bublé I just really love this song.
Enjoy
It was a very bright snowy Christmas morning and la Casa Madrigal and the whole family had just finished their Breakfast. Mirabel was just putting the last of the decorations on the tree but she was struggling to put the tinsel up.
"Let me help you there". Isabela started
" Dios you scared me there Isa ". Mirabel jumped
"Lo siento Hermanita I just wanted to help". Isabela replied
"Estas bien Isa, Actually I would really like your help you wouldn't mind helping me with your vines would you?"Mirabel asked
"No problema". Isabela replied
Just then Julieta came in with a batch of cookies to taste to see if they were good for the town's annual Christmas festival.
"Hola mi Niña's can you do me a favor por favor". Julieta asked
"Por surpesto mama". The girls replied
"Can you taste these and tell me if they need less or more Azúcar I want to make sure they are just right". Julieta asked
Both the girls picked up a biscuit and bit into it as they were contemplating on wether it needed more sugar they looked at each other swallowed then nodded .
"Well how are they?" Julieta questioned
"Perfecta Mama ". They both answered
"Good I was worried that the town wouldn't like it". Julieta sighed
"Mama I have told you this once I will say it again your Christmas cooking is always the best don't listen to what those people say". Mirabel replied
"Aww Mira mi Amor what would I do without you Mi Hermosa hija ". Julieta kissed Mirabel's forehead
Mirabel shrugged. Just then Abuela and Bruno walked into the room they looked at the tree with amazement.
"Hola Nietas you did an amazing job on the tree well done ". Alma compliments
"Muchas Gracias Abuela". They replied
"Hola Tio como Estas ?" Mirabel asked
"Amazing Mi Mariposa first Navidad being out of the walls spending it with all my family I couldn't be happier". Bruno replied
"Well that's good I am happy for you". Mirabel sighed
"Que pasa Mira?" Bruno questioned
"Nothing let's just finish decorations bien?" Mirabel nodded
~~ In La Cocina ~~
"Can Somebody please explain what happened back there?" Bruno asked
Alma and Julieta looked down in shame as they tried to find a distraction or something to do or fiddle with.
"Mama". Bruno pushed
She just continued to look down in shame
"Hermana ?" Bruno nudged
"Well if neither of you are going to tell me I am going to find out myself". Bruno walked off
~~~ Upstairs ~~~
Bruno walked up to find the rest of the Madrigal kids at her door before he was about to ask them what was going on he heard crying on the other side of the door his heart just broke.
"Hola Niños y Niñas what is going on?" Bruno questioned
"We don't know we tried to get her to talk about it but she won't let us in I am worried for her". Camilo replied
"Let me talk to her I am sure we can solve this out". Bruno asked
"I don't know she said she doesn't want to talk to anyone ". Antonio piped up
"Por favor I am sure she'll talk to me. We will Fix this Tonito I promise". Bruno replies
"It's worth a shot ". Isabela replied and nodded
So with that Bruno knocked on Mirabel's door
~~In Mirabel's room~~~
" Hey Mira it's me ". Bruno said
"Go away Tio I don't want to talk to anyone". Mirabel sobbed
"Come on Mariposa just talk to me . If you don't let me in I am going to have to bust open this door". Bruno declared
"You wouldn't dare". Mirabel laughed through her sobs
"Try me". Bruno grinned through the key hole
"Bien Tio you can come in". Mirabel laughed
Bruno opened the door and walked into the room and sat next To his sombrina.
"So what's got you down Mariposa why did you avoid your mama?" He questioned
"I didn't avoid her I just have a hard time with Christmas is all ever since the incident". Mirabel explained
"Porque You can tell me about it". Bruno pushes
"Bien just don't blame Mama or abuela I don't want them to worry about me this is just between you and me promise ?" Mirabel asked
"Promise". Bruno smiled
"I guess it started just after you left we started to grow apart. Mama wouldn't let me in The kitchen , Tia pepa would cry up a storm . Isabela stopped talking to me, Camilo would stop hanging out with me and so on . Anyway Christmas was always the worst for me because Abuela used to blame me saying that you left because of me and that's all my fault. Mama would always try to defend me but she would always get shut down by Abuela's reasons. I would try to console everyone but no matter how hard I tried I would always make things worse so I would just lock myself in my room crying and wishing you would come back". Mirabel Explained tears started to pour out.
Bruno's heart absolutely broke he huddled close to Mira and held her tightly to stop her from shaking. Mirabel finished Explaining.
"So I just stopped showing up for family photos and that way Abuela would just have the ones with gifts as she thought it would be better. Later in the afternoon Mama Would leave me sugar cookies by my door every Christmas to try and make me feel better but it never helped ". Mirabel cried
"Oh Mariposa I am so so so sorry you felt that way Lo siento mucho. But you know what I am here now and this is going to be the best Christmas ever". Bruno declared
"Muchas gracias Tío ". She cuddled in to his ruana
"Te amo mucho Mariposa ". He kissed her on the forehead
Just then the door rustled and a pile of Madrigal children landed in a heap on the floor.
"How long have you been standing there?" Mirabel questioned
Bruno laughed. "I think they were just worried about you". He rolled his eyes
"Lo siento Mira we were just worried about you and wanted to see how you were and you were crying". Antonio said
"Estoy bien Tonito". She went to cuddle him and he sat on her lap
"You sure your ok Mira?" Isabela asked
"I am fine Isa really". She replied
Just then all of the Madrigal children got into a big group hug and squeezed her really tight. Bruno couldn't miss out on this so he went in for the hug to. They all laughed and said that it's going to be Okay. She got up and laughed and replied that it's alright.
~~~ Downstairs ~~~
Julieta asked if she was ok and Bruno smiled and nodded
"Isa don't you think we could use some more flowers for the stairs". Antonio asked
"Si". Isabela replied
"Buena now while you two do that I am going to see if I could have some decorating help with these Biscuits ". Julieta was lifting the next batch out of the oven.
"I'll help Tia". Dolores started
"Me too Mama". Mirabel volunteered
"Oh ese Exellente better get all hands on deck then". Julieta cheered
It made Bruno so very happy to see his Favourite sombrina having so much fun after so many years of not liking Christmas.
"Would You look at that beautiful sight. I think our Mirabel's Finally growing up". Augustin declares
" I wouldn't argue with that ". Felix replied
"Vamos Tio what are you doing just standing there come help and you to Tio Felix ". Mirabel gestured with her hands to come closer.
"You can't say No hermano Vamos ". Felix pushed
Bruno smiled and agreed little did he know was that Dolores and Mirabel were going to throw flour with a little bit of help via Casita y Abuela
"Ready Niñas ". Abuela whispered
"Si". They replied
"Y Ahora". Mirabel announced
They continued to throw Flour at Bruno. Felix and Bruno were a bit taken aback but not surprised. They picked up the nearest bag of flour they could find and started throwing.
"Can't keep up mijo or are you too slow". Abuela said
The rest of the house was a bit taken aback as they never heard her say that before. Bruno thought for a moment.
"Ooh Mama you underestimate me". He replied
He threw flour right in centre of the bottom of her dress.
"Ha see". He declared just then he felt something hard hit his back and saw both his Sombrinas aiming flour at him Julieta laughed .
"Okay who did that". He asked both of his grinning nieces
"Me". Mirabel declared
He put down the flour and chased after his Mariposa
"You going to have to do better than that OLD HOMBRE". Mirabel yelled
"Well let's see what your old Tio has got in him shall we ". Bruno started
Abuela laughed. She couldn't miss out on the fun so she picked up the flour and continued to throw at her daughter and son in law.
"Mama". Pepa laughed
Soon Bruno was able to catch up with his sombrina and he managed to get her in a tight hug and tickled her so she laughed.
"That's what you get for calling me an old hombre ". Bruno started
"Well that's well deserved ". Mirabel laughed
Pretty soon the whole house was in a full flour fight with laughter around every Corner and some friendly fire.
~~~ 2 hours later~~~
The family cleaned up and managed to get into town. But Mirabel had a little surprise for her famila she was going to sing .
So she headed to help her mama set up and dance with some of the children. Then it was time she changed into a beautiful blue dress she had made.
She started to sing:
A donde sea que yo esté
Tu corazón alcanzaré
Y una sonrisa en tu mirada pintaré
No habrá distancia entre los dos
Al viento volaré mi voz
Con mis deseos a tu alma
Llegaré.
The Famila was shook they didn't know Mira could sing that Beautifully. Bruno especially so he started singing out loud.
Feliz Navidad, feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad, prospero año y felicidad
Feliz Navidad, feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad, prospero año y felicidad
Soon the whole town started clapping . Mira was taken aback as she didn't know her Tio could sing but she didn't stop him and soon it turned into a duet . As they continued singing the townspeople each grabbed a partner and started dancing. The Famila went to join the festivities.
They continued to sing:
I wanna wish you a merry Christmas (celebremos juntos la vida)
I wanna wish you a merry Christmas (y que viva la alegría)
I wanna wish you a merry Christmas
From the bottom of my heart
I wanna wish you a merry Christmas (celebremos juntos la vida)

From the bottom of my heart
Feliz Navidad, feliz Navidad

Feliz Navidad, prospero año y felicidad
I wanna wish you a merry Christmas (celebremos juntos la vida)
I want to wish you a merry Christmas (y que viva la alegría)
I want to wish you a merry Christmas
From the bottom of my heart.
As they continued to sing Bruno spun his niece around and cuddled her close thanking for all she's done for this family and for him. She smiled and hugged him close thanking him for being back in the Famila.
The song finished up:
I wanna wish you a merry Christmas (celebremos juntos la vida)
I want to wish you a merry Christmas (y que viva la alegría)
I want to wish you a merry Christmas
From the bottom of my heart
Feliz Navidad, feliz Navidad

Oh-oh-oh
Once the song finished the whole town clapped. The family gave them all big hugs and kisses when they finally broke apart. Bruno pulled his niece aside.
"Que?" Mirabel questioned
"Muchas Gracias Mira I wouldn't know where I'd be without you ". Bruno thanked
"De nada tío Nothing is like spending Christmas with the ones you love and I am glad to have you back". Mirabel replied
"Te amo mucho Mariposa ". Bruno hugged Mirabel and kissed the top of her head
The rest of the Famila wanted to dance. So that's what they did. The rest of the night was spent dancing til their feet hurt and eating sugar cookies and gift exchanges.
It was official this is the best Christmas gift I could ever receive ". Mirabel thought
