Before we continue, this short is going to be special. Why? You might ask. This is the 10th short for this series so I thought I would make it very special for you guys. Be warned, do not read this if you have a weak heart. This will make you cry until your eyes are all dried up and red from all the tears.

To be honest, I never thought I would make it past 5 shorts for this series, yet I reached 10. I don't know if this will be the end, but I am certainly not stopping yet.

P.S. Jesus loves all if you are reading this, your idea is still in my head, but make sure you check out my PM I sent you or the beginning of the 9th short.

Fatherly Love

It was just another beautiful morning in the city of Rio de Janeiro and our blue macaw family are waking up to another day. Blu was in Linda's house making pancakes (to the rolling of Jewel's eyes) for his family when his kids came in to the delicious smells after waking up. When Blu was finished, the whole family sat and enjoyed the pancakes.

"So what are we all going to do today?" Blu asked his kids.

"I'm going to have some fun with uncle Rafael." Tiago said, thought he really wanted to prank him.

"I'm going to go hang with uncle Nico and Pedro." Carla said happily.

And than it was Bia's turn to go. "I'm going to go exploring in the jungle."

Blu froze a little. "Are you sure that's a good idea sweetie?"

"Yes, why not, it's quite relaxing. Don't worry dad, I won't make you go with me this time."

"That's exactly what I am worried about, you all alone in there."

When the family finished eating, the kids prepared for their day. As Bia was about to go, Blu stopped her.

"Sweetie are you sure?"

"Yes dad, don't worry I'm be fine, you can trust me right?"

"Of course I can, just please don't get hurt and be careful."

"I will, see you soon, love you."

"Love you too sweetie."

And Bia flew off into the jungle where she had a good time exploring all sorts of things, animals and plants alike. Midday she decided to take a break and grab some fruit from a tree. Bia landed on a branch and made her way to the fruit and tried very hard to get a mango. She pulled and pulled, but could not get it. She gave up and let go, but she let go with such force that she lost her footing and the branch that was holding the fruit came again and smacked her in the forehead. Before Bia could fully grasp what was happening she was falling from the tree she was on and landed face up, hard, on the ground. She was knocked out and no one seemed to notice what happened.

In the evening, just before dinner time, Carla and Tiago arrived back home, satisfied with the results of the day.

Carla had a good time with Nico and Pedro and Tiago left Rafael a very nasty surprise.

Blu greeted his kids, but worried where Bia was.

"It's not like her to be this late." Blu told Jewel.

"Maybe she got lost. I'm go look for her."

"No you stay here and I'm go."

"Are you sure Blu? What ever happened to you being afraid of the jungle?"

"My concern for my daughter is greater than my fears, I'm be back."

And with that Blu flew off in the direction of the jungle and his daughter.

Blu kept on searching and soon it was getting pretty dark, lucky Blu had the right mind to bring a flashlight.

Soon Blu in the light of flashlight could see a small blue mass on the ground laying still.

"Oh, no." Blu said and flew down to it.

It was his daughter alright, and she did not look good.

"Sweetie, wake up, it's me, dad."

Bia did not wake, much less move.

Blu carefully picked her up in his talons and made his way home when it started to rain. Since Blu was carrying his daughter, he could not use the flashlight too and the rain made it very hard to see and fly through. But Blu was determined to make his way home and than to Linda and Tulio's home next door. Blu battled his way through and with much difficulty finally got back.

Jewel was waiting inside with the door open and was happy to see Blu come back, but spotted Bia in Blu's talons, which only meant one thing.

"Blu what happened?"

"It appears she got knocked out, stay with her, I'm going to get Linda and Tulio.

And Blu made his way to Linda. Linda was sleeping in bed with Tulio when suddenly she heard loud squawking and woke up to see Blu at the door, scared.

"Blu whats wrong?" Linda asked.

Blu than motioned for some paper and pencil and quickly wrote his message.

"Daughter knocked out, need help now!"

Linda than got Tulio up and the three made their way to the birdhouses where Jewel was watching her daughter. Blu carefully picked up Bia and handed her over to Tulio.

Than after waking up the rest of the kids, the blue macaw family, Linda, and Tulio made their way to the aviary where Tulio quickly got Bia to a comfortable spot and started to take care of her.

Linda and the blue macaw family were waiting outside, Blu was very depressed at the moment.

Jewel comforted Blu. "Blu, it's not your fault, these things happen."

"It is my fault, I should have went with her, protected her, maybe this would not have happened.

Soon Tulio came out and Linda went up to him. "Is Bia okay?"

"She will be fine, however she will stay knocked out for at a least couple of days.

Blu was slightly relieved.

"Okay let's go home." Jewel said also relieved.

Everyone started walking or flying, but Blu stayed where he was.

"Blu what's wrong?" Jewel asked.

"Jewel I can't go, my little girl is in there, I just can't leave her." And Blu flew to his daughter and looked down at her and tears started forming in his eyes.

Jewel understood that Blu needed to be alone and got Carla and Tiago and they flew back home.

Tulio also prepared to go, but Linda stayed put too.

"Tulio you go ahead, I'm going to stay for a few minutes.

Linda than went and got a bird sized blanket and made her way to Blu who was still crying.

Blu suddenly felt someone put a blanket on him, he knew it was Linda.

"She is going to be fine Blu." Linda said and left.

Blu stayed there with his daughter and stayed awake all night, hoping his daughter would wake.

However it did not happen for three days straight and Blu was suffering from lack of sleep, food, and water. He would just sit there waiting for his daughter to wake. Jewel and Linda were deeply concerned for Blu. He refused to go back home until his daughter was awake and to eat, arguing that if his daughter was not eating he should not too.

Finally came the day when Bia woke up from being knocked out.

It was midday and Blu was sitting next to his daughter when he heard Bia moving. Blu got very happy, his daughter was finally awake.

Bia opened her eyes slowly, everything was blurry, being that her eyes were not accustomed to sudden brightness. She first saw a lot of white mostly, but as she turned to her right she saw a mass of blue and heard a deep and weak voice. It was her dad.

"Dad, is that you?"

"Yes it's me, I'm so happy you're awake."

"What happened?"

"That does not matter now, what matters is that you are awake and okay."

Bia than noticed that her dad's eyes were extremely red, indicating lack of sleep.

"Dad, are you okay?"

""Yes, of course I'm okay, why do you ask?"

"Well I mean your eyes are quite red, did you sleep at all."

"As a matter of fact sweetie, I stayed up for days waiting for you to wake.

"Dad are you sure that's good for you?"

"Well I just couldn't go to sleep, let's just put it at that.

Bia than changed the subject.

"Can we go home?"

"Not yet sweetie, don't move, just stay still and relax. Your mother and siblings are actually coming for their daily visit, what a surprise they will get.

Jewel, Carla, Tiago got to the aviary and Blu was right they were very happy to see Bia had finally woke up.

The family was all happy and they sat down and Blu and Bia finally ate something after several days and Blu went to sleep for the first time in several days, a smile across his face that his daughter had come back from being knocked out.
