Madalena pov
I paced back and forth before I grabbed my keys and walked out.

I got in my car and drove to the jail. I got out and went in.

I told the guard I was here to see Manuelo and she took me back. I paced as I waited for my brother.

It had been three weeks since the incident and I had finally decided to come and see Manuelo. Despite everything I had said he was my brother.

Finally a guard came in with Manuelo. The guard took the handcuffs off then left. I rushed over and hugged my brother. He froze then wrapped me in his arms.
"You shouldn't have come."
"How could I not? It's all my fault. I should have never said those things." Manuelo sighed and spoke.
"I swear you are impossible." I backed up and saw the fond smile on his face.
"This wasn't your fault hermanita. I did this to myself." I shook my head.
"Our brothers were looking for me. It's because of me that they went to the cops." Manuelo sat down.
"No it's not." I sat down and Manuelo put his hand over mine.
"Hermana. It's not your fault. I had it coming. But enough of that. How are you?" I blushed and spoke.
"Good." My brother raised an eyebrow and had a teasing smile on his face.
"What's with that smile?"
"Nothing!" Manuelo chuckled and I blushed even deeper. We talked for a bit before he had to go back to his cell.

When I got home I sat on the couch and cried. After a bit I dried my eyes and went to the kitchen to bake.

After I made the dulce de coco I cleaned up the things I had used.
"Mi corazon?" I looked to see Rafael there. He came over and spoke.
"Que paso?" I sighed and spoke.
"I went to see Manuelo."
"Madalena." I sighed and turned back around.
"I couldn't just not do anything. He's my brother." Rafael sighed and kissed my head. He pulled me into his arms and spoke.
"I understand but he's a bad man." I shook my head.
"No. He did very bad things yes but that doesn't make him a bad man. He's just protective." Rafa sighed and sat down.
"You trust him?" I hesitated then went over.
"Rafael. He's my brother. What am I supposed to do? Today was the first time since my parents were murdered that Manuelo was honest with me. Really honest. I saw a man who's worn down and hates himself so much for the things he did. I don't want him to kill himself because he thinks he's never going to be a good person." Rafael stared at me then stood up. He poured himself some water and drank a little.
"I get you want to have faith. But sometimes some people just don't deserve faith in them." I looked shocked then went to my bedroom.

I sat on the bed and played with my phone. I took a deep breath and hit Santiago's number. He picked up almost immediately.

"Hermana. Todo bien?"
"No. Could you come over? Por favor."
"Of course. I'll be over as soon as I can."
"Thank you."

After we hung up I sat on the bed and stared a picture I had kept of the four of us.

A couple of hours later my door opened and I saw Santiago there. He smiled softly and came over.
"What happened?" I sighed and told him everything, including what Manuelo had told me. At the end Santiago sighed and pulled me close.
"It's okay hermana." I shook my head and spoke.
"No. He's not lying. I don't know what to do Santiago. This is all my fault." My brother sighed and kissed my head.
"None of this is your fault. The three of us did things we should have never done. We started this path the minute we went after the people who killed Mami and Papi." I looked away and my brother bent down. He wiped away my tears then took my hands.
"Madalena. We did this. We should have never gone after those people. We did this to ourselves." I sighed and spoke.
"He's never getting out is he?" Santiago smiled sadly and brushed some hair behind my ear.
"Probably not hermana." I let the tears fall and put my head down.
"How do I do this?" Santiago smiled softly and spoke.
"Eventually it will get easier hermana. It just takes time." I pushed my hair back and shook my head.
"I can't do this. I can't." I stood up and began pacing.
"Why did this happen? Why did you all have to tell me everything? I'm not ready for all this. I can't."
"Hermana. No puedes hacer qué?" I took a deep breath and spoke.
"I'm pregnant." Santiago looked at me then stood up and guided me to sit down.
"All I can think about is how will this child react to knowing that it's uncle is in jail and his or her two other uncles did things in the past that they shouldn't have." Santiago pulled me close and kissed my head.
"Yo se." I sighed and spoke.
"I haven't even told them yet."
"Bueno. I'm leaving so you can do just that. And do me a favor hermana. Don't worry about it too much." I gave my older brother a look and he smiled. Santiago kissed my head and spoke.
"Everything will work out in the end." He left and I took a minute to settle myself down. I went over to my dresser and grabbed the pregnancy test I had kept hidden. I put it in my pocket then walked out.

I saw Rafael sitting on the couch looking over some paperwork. I took a deep breath and went over.
"Hola." Rafael sighed and spoke.
"Hello." I sat down and spoke.
"I know you don't understand why I chose to go see him but I had to see him. For a little bit I needed my brother." Rafael sighed and spoke.
"I don't think I'll ever get it but I won't stop you." I smiled sadly and spoke.
"Rafael. I.....I have something to tell you." He looked at me and took my hand.
"What is it?" I hesitated then spoke when I saw Sonny there also.
"I'm pregnant."

Okay. Done. Hope you enjoyed. Adios amigos. See you soon.
