Isabela must thought so many times about how most of her friends/admirers were only friends with her because of her image, her family name, her gift, her perfection. They weren’t Isabela’s friends. Not really. They were friends with the idea of Isabela Madrigal, the concept, the image, the status. A lot of times she was right. People praised her flowers, praised her, sang about how beautiful and kind and perfect she was. She listened, all the while knowing everything worth singing about her was a lie, and nothing more.
Dolores must have heard her friends talking about how they only wanted to be friends with her so that they could get close to Isabela. She heard Mariano making poetry for Isabela, maybe even try to buy flowers for Isabela. The bouquet he handed to Isabela—the golden child threw it away. Dolores picked it up after Isabela left and pretended it was for her instead.

for a prompt! dolores first steps!! i feel like félix and pepa would compete to get her to walk to them and fight over who she goes to
Dolores, my beloved 💕
"Come on, baby, come to Mamí!"
"No, come to Papí!"
Pepa and Félix were kneeling next to each other, both eagerly encouraging one-year-old Dolores to toddle towards them. She'd pulled herself to her feet, clinging to the sofa and now everyone was watching to see if she'd walk, or simply sit back down.
And, if she walked, which parent would she go to?
Julieta could admit she was on the edge of her seat. Bruno was curled up in an armchair, his book abandoned in favour of watching their niece.
Finally, Dolores took a shaky step and Julieta held her breath. Slowly, carefully, Dolores began to make her way to her parents, releasing the sofa and balancing on her own. Her steps were small and careful; she kept looking down at her own tiny feet as if to make sure they were still attached.
Pepa and Félix watched her with shining eyes.
Dolores didn't even go to one of them in particular. She stopped in front of them, yes, but she was between them. Smiling, she flopped back down onto the ground, holding her arms out for a cuddle.
A cuddle that Pepa and Félix happily gave her. Pepa's cloud began to rain and, chuckling, Félix waved it away.
"Good job, amor!" he told Dolores proudly. "Look at you go!"

Yandere Dolores headcanons
Tw: stalking by listening(idk what to call it...), stalking, murder, kidnapping, unhealthy obsession, yandere themes.
Dolores will always be listening to you, no matter what. This woman gives you no privacy at all.
Even though she listens to you, that isn't enough for her sometimes. She needs to see you, stalk you.
Some murder might happen, depending who it is. But if someone gets a little to close to you, it will certainly happen.
Yes, she would kidnap you. She's just to obsessed with you, she needs you by her side, all the time.
She might give punishments if they're needed.
While you are tied up, sleeping. Dolores will listen to you sleep, she does it every night.
Dolores daydreams quite a bit, and I mean quite a bit my friend. Constantly dreaming of the day you get married and have kids.

I just thought about this.
What if Pepa saw Dolores In her room in distress and couldn't take no more noise, Dolores wanted her mom to sing her a song like she did when she was younger.
Later the both were found sleeping together by the family.
I combined these two asks and it's not 100% exactly what you two wanted... Hope it's still okay
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bruno taps her on the shoulder. It's a light touch, nothing more than his fingertips brushing her dress. Pepa knows what that means. Usually he is much louder when he's trying to get her attention. He will give her braid a short playful tug or he will snip her temple with a finger. Despite the heavy burden his gift has left him with, her brother is and will always be a little brother first, with all the brattiness that comes with that. And Pepa will always be the big sister first and make sure to deliver that outraged squawk and retaliate in style by kicking his shin.
But not when it's the soft touch to the shoulder. She knows what that means and so she turns around carefully, making as little sound as she can, holding the skirt of her dress so it rustles a little bit less than it normally would.
There is Bruno, standing at her back. In his arms he is holding Pepa's most precious treasure besides the one just beginning to grow inside of her.
Dolores, so small, so vulnerable, buried into his chest, her small hands pressed to her ears so hard her arms are quivering. Her face is squished against his ruana and Bruno keeps hold of Pepa's gaze while at the same time constantly whispering into his sobrina's left ear. Any other child wouldn't have heard him over the hands and the folds of fabric. But Dolores is not like any other child. She is a Madrigal. She is Pepa's daughter. She is blessed.
She is cursed.
Pepa has to strain her hearing to make out the words, the soft and rumbling whisper whose only purpose is to drown out all other sounds.
"And Maria is not actually Maria, she is Carmen, the evil sibling. At least everyone assumes she is the evil one, but she is just misunderstood, you know? She was just dealt a bad hand. She is not so bad, people just need to give her a chance."
Pepa wants to smile. His silly Telenovelas. She wonders where he gets all those ideas from.
She doesn't smile. Her baby is overwhelmed and in pain, how could she smile right now?
Instead she steps closer, putting down her toes first and rolling the balls of her feet with the utmost care. Lolo still winces as if her Mama had stomped her foot.
Pepa catches Bruno's eye.
'Bad day?' she mouths.
He doesn't stop his tale, just nods and widens his eyes. A very bad day, then.
Pepa sighs noiselessly (not for Dolores, nothing is ever without noise for Dolores) and winds her arms around her daughter. Her arms entangle with Bruno's for a second. For just a second, the three of them are joined in a hug, the vulnerable child trapped in the middle. But then Pepa pulls away and Bruno let's go.
Dolores whines for a heartbreaking moment, clearly reluctant about the change of hands, but then Pepa starts to hum and her baby latches onto her instead, pressing her face into Pepa's hair. The woman is so glad that she's chosen the lavender shampoo that morning. The smell always calms her daughter down and now Pepa does smile after all as she can hear her child take a deep breath, audibly sniffing her hair.
Bruno is still standing there, his arms hanging in the air. He looks a little bit lost, she thinks. Misplaced. Helpless.
Pepa doesn't stop her humming and instead brushes her foot against his calf since her hands are full. Her brother snaps out of his daze. His eyes focus and he nods at her.
'Tea?' he mouths and she simply smiles. She doesn't want to nod, doesn't want to disturb her daughter who has stopped shaking, but he knows her.
Her brother glides away on bare feet, almost soundlessly, and Pepa follows his example and slips off her slippers. The tiles are warm against her feet and she silently thanks Casita.
****************
When Bruno finds them later in Pepa's room with the tea, Dolores is much calmer already and the two of them sandwich her between them on the sofa and start to sing a song for her to distract her. It's mostly Pepa who sings, with Bruno humming along.
Dolores has her head pressed against Pepa's mostly flat belly, listening to a heartbeat only she can hear at this point, and has her feet up on her Tio's lap.
Felix and Julieta find them like that, hours later. Dolores has long since fallen asleep listening to new life, and Pepa and Bruno are sitting side by side on the sofa with her. Also asleep. Their heads are resting against each other, Pepa's one arm curling around his bony shoulders, while her other hand rests on Dolores' head.
Julieta and Felix share a smile and retreat. Felix will just have to sleep in Dolore's room tonight.
