Author note:seeing as there's only 3 chapters left, I decided to just give it you y'all now, instead of making you all wait 3 weeks

Before with Isabela

*Wee see Isabels poking ah the fire, it was small and on it'd last embers. Isabela looked at Jack who was reading a book. Isabela bites the inside of her cheek at the idea of talking to somebody 5 that's not her Mirabel's*

Isabela:so......the location she told you, is it close?

*Jack looked up from his book and saw Isabela forcing a smile to be place on her face. He hummed and looked at the map*

Jack:from what I've seen on the map, were like 15-10 minutes from where she told me her house is

Isabela:hm....then let's go

*Jack raised and eyebrow and looked at Isabela who got up and was already grabbing the rifle Mirabel told her specifically not to touch*

Jack:what about Mirabel?

Isabela: we'll leave her a letter saying that we went without her and to wait here till we get back

Jack:well.... how good are you with that rifle?

*Isabela grinned and pointed it to the entrance with nothing but confidence. Fake confidence but confidence all the same*

Isabela; Mirabel taught me everything I know, we'll be safe

Jack:then you go, I'll stay here and get ready, I kinda want to surprise my beloved

Isabela:aww that's so romantic!~ ok! You wait here for Mirabel and I'll bring your beloved to you! It'll be great!

*Isabela left with a grin as she holds the rifle tighter*

Isabela"and hopefully I'll be able to show Mirabel that I can totally use the rifle"

Mirabel"you were right Isabela you have such a handle on that rifle that it makes me fall when harder for you"

*Isabela blushed and giggled from her own mind imagining how proud Mirabel will be at her*

Isabela"I know she'll never say that but a girl can dream right?"

Scene change

Isabela:10 to 15 minutes my ass...

*Isabela muttered darkly After another hour of walking Isabela made it to the location. She looked around it was a house alone, with the village being so far Isabela could barely see it*

Isabela:man that village looks kinda familiar, eh. I wonder if Mirabel made it back to the cave. I know she'll be so angry that I took the rifle

*Isabela said with a small grin finding it cute when Mirabel gets angry since her pout makes her look like a squirrel. Isabela walked to the door and knocked loudly. She waited for a few moments until the door was opened*

Isabela:hello! I'm part of your escort service to get you to jack Marston!

*Isabela said quickly with her eyes closed. She heard something shattering. She quickly opened her eyes and was equally as shocked tears threatening to fall from her face seeing who opened that door*

Isabela:m..Mami...

Julieta:i... Isabela....

*They remained frozen just looking at each other for s long while, the second Julieta saw Isabela take a step back she jumped at her and hugged her tightly both crashing to the ground. Isabela groaned softly as she hit herself at the back of the head*

Isabela:ow...

Julieta:I'm sorry. I...I'm sorry I was a horrible mother, I'm sorry I didn't fight for you, I'm sorry I was spineless for so damn long, I'm sorry I couldn't help you, I'm sorry that you felt that you had to leave, I'm sorry that it took me so long to see how horrible alma was to everyone, I'm sorry I didn't see how you felt as if you were suffocating. I'm so so sorry!!

*Julieta said crying, her cried slowly getting louder. Julieta flinched when she felt Isabela wrap her arms around her and kiss her forehead. Isabela only needed to say 2 thing to make Julieta in to a complete and blubbery mess*

Isabela:I forgive you... I love you Mami...

*Isabela slowly got up with Julieta terrified of letting her go less she ran away again. But reluctantly she did*

Luisa:Mom are you ok? I heard yelling and...

*Luisa froze at the doorway as she saw who was with next to her mother. Isabela gave a crooked smile as she gave her younger sister a small wave*

Isabela:hey Luisa, you must be the girl Jack's been talking about he uh. Can't wait to meet you

Luisa:I... Isabela....

Isabela:hay no....

*Isabela said as she was tackled to the ground again by another bone crushing hug from a weeping woman, only now she had 230 LBS on top of her*

Isabela:I missed you too....

*Isabela said or tried to but it all came out muffled. Isabela sighed and hugged Luisa as best as she could*

Isabela: please get up I can't breath!

*Luisa got up without letting go of her and starts giving Isabela a bone crushing hug*

Luisa; I'm so glad your ok!

Isabela:I.... won't....be...if ...you.... don't.....let....go!!

*Isabela squeaks out. Luisa let her drop and Isabela took some deep breaths before smiling at the two crying woman*

Isabela: let's go inside so we can talk

Scene change

*we see the 3 of them inside of the house, after much crying from Luisa and Julieta they were having some tea before they left*

Luisa:so, your the friend jack told me about ? The pain in the ass annoying little shit he sees as a little sister?

*Isabela did a spit take and couldn't help but giggle a little at Mirabel's expense*

Isabela:oh goodness no. That uh...that would be my partner.

Julieta:she sounds like a troublesome little girl from the letters I've read. He never gave a name, so what's her name?

*Isabela gulped, her heart started to race as she placed her cup down. Isabela took a few calming breath and looked at her mother with a wobbly smile, tears threatening to escape her eyes*

Isabela:uh m...mom....

Julieta:yes dear what is it? Goodness your shaking like s leaf

Isabela:Mom...I.... I'm not the only one in the family who survived out there

Julieta:well who el.....

*Julieta flinched and this time was a big flinch, her tea cup fell from her hand. Her pupils started to tremble as she looked at Isabela who kept smiling and nodding. Confirming what Julieta's heart was telling her, Julieta placed her hand over her mouth and started to weep again*

Julieta:Mirabel she's.....

Isabela: she's alive Mami...

*Isabela scooted closer and placed her hand on julietas shoulder, while in the background Luisa was just as shock her teacup trembling with tears escaping her eyes*

Luisa"miraboo is alive...."

Isabela:she's alive and well, she's made a name for herself and is the friend Jack's wrote about in his letters. She's with me, she has to be back in the cave with Jack

Julieta:mi bebé... I'll.... I'll get to see my baby after so long...

*Tears started to fall from her face as she starts to picture Mirabel's smiling face, to have her youngest in her arms again, Julieta was being filled with joy and it was becoming overwhelming for her*

Isabela:yes. She'll be so happy to see you she'll cry, she never stopped loving you Mami, she never stopped missing you

Julieta:l..let's get going. I want to see Mirabel again, I need to see her again

*Julieta said quickly getting up, Luisa nodded as she grabbed the remaining bags. The 3 of them walked out and Luisa placed the bags in the cart. Isabela looked at them curiously*

Isabela:I thought Jack said it was just a visit?

Luisa:it started like that, but the more we thought about it the more we realized that we don't want to keep living in encanto

Isabela:ah, taking a page from my book huh? Well I'm sure Mirabel won't think twice of letting you guys live with us

*Luisa lifted the cart a little and started walking with the cart behind her*

Julieta:who do you two live with?

Isabela:hm? Oh no, we live by ourselves. It's a long story but to make it short, Mirabel made a lot of friends out of encanto, they build a house for her

Julieta:we have time, tell me about Mirabel. About what she's been doing

Isabela"well apart from me? Bad brain!"

*Isabela chastited herself with a blush coming from her face*

Julieta: Isabela?

Isabela:huh? O..oh yeah sorry, uh where do you want me to begin?

Julieta:has she told you what she's been up to when she was out of encanto?

Isabela:yeah, i know. I'll tell you how she survived until hosea came in to her life and about....Gabriela

*Isabela said with a small sad smile as she began to tell the tales of Mirabel madrigal, the black sheep of the family the scar of the family's reputation. She's literally the scar of the madrigal*

Scene change

Isabela:and then mirabel fell along with the wolf. The wolf was injured and whining, Mirabel grabbed a huge rock and was gonna kill it. But she.....

Luisa;mom, Isabela?

*They look at Luisa and saw how she turned in to a bright light, the other two weren't that far behind. All 3 of them landed softly and looked around*

Isabela:where the hell are we?

*Isabela asked looking around and there was nothing just a white void as the eye can see*

Julieta:I don't know, but both of you stay close to me

???:you have nothing to fear

*They turned around and Julieta gasped seeing the man she's only seeing in the painting on Casita*

Julieta:papá....

*Pedro smiled sadly at her daughter, he snapped his fingers As tables and chairs were made out of nowhere*

Pedro: please sit, the others are only seconds away

Julieta:others?

Alma: Pedro? Isabela?!

*Isabela flinched feeling a deep a fear she hasn't felt in years. She snapped her head a alma and the rest of the family, Julieta placed Isabela behind her and looked at her mother with nothing but hatred. It broke Pedro's heart seeing Julieta looking at her own mother like that*

Pedro:all of you si down, please do not fight as my time is limited. There's still one more person I need to get

Mirabel:no.... no no no NOOOOO!!! I refuse!! I fucking refuse to be dead before I kill alma madrigal!!!

*They all heard, Isabela wanted to go get her but Pedro raised his hand and left to find Mirabel. Isabela glanced at alma who was giving her a hateful scorn. Luisa and Julieta both got in front of Isabela in a protective manner*

Luisa:you keep looking her like that and I'll end you right here alma

*Alma scoffed and sat down along with the rest. Isabela looked at Mirabel and ran towards her hugging her tightly*

Isabela:finally! Come on Mami is dying to see you again!!

*Julieta eyes widen as she looked at her daughter. She was alive, missing an arm but alive, she placed her hand over her mouth as her body started to tremble*

Julieta "my baby....."

*Isabela let go of Mirabel, mirabel walked slowly towards her mother. Julieta got up and ran to her. She crashed in to her daughter and hugged her with all her strength weeping loudly, she repeated her name over and over again. Mirabel broke down at her mother's embrace and hugged her back grabbing her shirt tightly as she cried loudly overwhelmed to see her again after so many years. Slowly Isabela and Luisa joined in the hug*
